    Notes: Extracts of unfertilized sea urchin eggs contain at least two isoforms of cytoplasmic dynein. One exhibits a weak affinity for microtubules and is primarily soluble. The other isoform, HMr-3, binds to microtubules in an ATP-sensitive manner, but is immunologically distinct from the soluble egg dynein (Porter et al.: Journal of Biological Chemistry 263:6759-6771, 1988). We have now further distinguished these egg dynein isoforms based on differences in NTPase activity. HMr-3 copurifies with NTPase activity, but it hydrolyzes CTP at 10 times the rate of ATP. The soluble egg dynein is similar to flagellar dynein in its nucleotide specificity; its MgCTPase activity is ca. 60% of its MgATPase activity. Non-ionic detergents and salt activate the MgATPase activities of both enzymes relative to their MgCTPase activities, but this effect is more pronounced for the soluble egg dynein than for HMr-3. Sucrose gradient-purified HMr-3 promotes an ATP-sensitive microtubule bundling, as seen with darkfield optics. We have also isolated a 20 S microtubule translocating activity by sucrose gradient fractionation of egg extracts, followed by microtubule affinity and ATP release. This 20 S fraction, which contains the HMr-3 isoform, induces a microtubule gliding activity that is distinct from kinesin. Our observations suggest that soluble dynein resembles axonemal dynein, but that HMr-3 is related to the dynein-like enzymes isolated from a variety of cell types and may represent the cytoplasmic dynein of sea urchin eggs.

    Notes: A polarity test mix consisting of acetophenone, N, N-dimethylaniline, naphthalene, decanoic acid, 2-naphthol, and n-tetracosane was spiked onto sand, and extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide, to evaluate the collection efficiency of various solvents and solvent mixtures. Nine single collection solvent systems and four mixed collection solvent systems were studied. When one-component collection solvents were employed, quantitative (above 90%) recovery of all analytes was not possible. With mixed collection solvents, recoveries of 90% or better with all analytes studied were possible.

    An expanded nomenclature scheme for labeling peptide fragmentations and its use with ‘AMASS’, a computer program for generating all possible fragment ion structures from known precursors (1993)

    Notes: A nomenclature scheme for exhaustively labeling peptide fragment ions is proposed. The scheme is based on IUPAC nomenclature1-3 and the previously proposed Roepstorff nomenclature scheme4 used to label fragment ions in linear peptides. The descriptor used is specifically defined in order to increase the number of peptide and side chain linkages to which the nomenclature scheme can be applied compared with the Roepstorff scheme. The proposed descriptor can be used unambiguously to assign all possible fragments from linear, cyclized, branched, extended (i.e. β-amino acids) and retro inverso peptides. A significant advantage of the proposed scheme is its simple interface with the currently accepted Roepstorff scheme. This nomenclature scheme is able to label all theoretical fragments generated by the computer program ‘AMASS’. AMASS is proposed as a means of systematically calculating the mass of all possible fragment ions from known precursor structures. The program can help determine whether a peptide fragment was derived from an internal sequence fragment or a combination of side chain and backbone cleavages. The program AMASS and the proposed nomenclature scheme are used to illustrate a procedure for identifying fragment ions in the metastable product ion spectrum of somatostatin-14. We envisage that this procedure will be useful for identifying fragment ions which are characteristic of particular structural arrangements in dicyclic and polycyclic peptides.

    Notes: Chemical weapons use, although prohibited by the 1925 Geneva Protocol, has been reported in several armed conflicts including the Iran/Iraq war. The use of these weapons during this conflict and the concern over possible use of chemical warfare (CW) agents during the Persian Gulf war has heightened international awareness and prompted many nations to pursue with incresed vigour the signature of a new Chemical Weapons Convention. The most recent draft of the Chemical Weapons Convention contains a number of provisions aimed at developing a treaty that will enable nations to ensure compliance by all signatory nations. Compliance monitoring will be required in a number of scenarios, including the verification of alleged use, the storage and destruction of chemical weapons stocks and ensuring that industrial sites are not illegally producing CW agents. It follows from this draft treaty that compliance monitoring will require a high level of sophisticated analytical support to ensure the establishment of an enforceable treaty. The United Nations Conference on Disarmament therefore formed a multi-national Technical Group on Instrumentation to address the analytical challenges confronting signatory nations.

    Elimination of carbon monoxide by electron impact on quinoline N-oxide, carbostyril and 8-hydroxyquinolineDedicated to Professor J. D. Morrison on the occasion of his retirement from the Chair of Physical Chemistry, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia. (1991)

    Notes: Under electron impact, the molecular ions of quinoline N-oxide, carbostyril and 8-hydroxyquinoline lose carbon monoxide giving a fragment ion C8H7N (m/z 117), which was shown by collision-activated dissociation in each case to have the structure of the molecular ion of indole. Its formation from 8-hydroxyquinoline requires an unusual rearrangement. Isoquinoline N-oxide loses HCN rather than CO and gives a fragment which has the structure of the molecular ion of benzofuran. When the first three compounds were subjected to flash vacuum pyrolysis, quinoline N-oxide at 500-700°C gave carbostyril and indole was detected by gas chromatography/mass Spectrometry. At 900°C carbostyril and 8-hydroxyquinoline both gave indole in small amounts, detected by gas chromatography/mass Spectrometry.

    Notes: Normal human diploid fibroblasts exhibit a limited lifespan in vitro and are used as a model to study in vivo aging. Monoclonal antibodies were generated against partially purified surface membranes from human diploid fibroblasts at the end of their lifespan (senescent). Three hybridomas were isolated that secreted antibodies reacting to cellular determinants expressed specifically on senescent human fibroblasts of different origin, including neonatal foreskin, embryonic lung, and adult skin punch biopsy, but not expressed on matched young cells. The antibodies did not bind to immortal human cells and normal young cells made reversibly nondividing, indicating the antigens are not expressed in cells that are not senescent. The antibodies identified senescent cells in a mixed cell population and expression of the senescent cell antigens correlated strongly with the cells inability to synthesize DNA at the onset of senescence. The antigens appeared to be cell surface or extracellular matrix associated, and the epitopes were destroyed by mild trypsin treatment. Western analysis indicated all three antibodies reacted with fibronectin. Though the antigenic determinants on the fibronectir molecule were not accessible in the intact young cell, the epitopes were present in fibronectin extracted from both senescent and young cells, as well as purified human plasma fibronectin. These antibodies and the senescent specific expression of the antigens provide powerful tools to investigate the mechanisms leading to in vitro senescence. This may enable us to investigate directly the relationship between cellular aging and aging of the individual.

    Regulation of polyamine transport by polyamines and polyamine analogs (1993)

    Notes: Regulation of polyamine transport in murine L1210 leukemia cells was characterized in order to better understand its relationship to specific intracellular polyamines and their analogs and to quantitate the sensitivity by which it is controlled. Up-regulation of polyamine uptake was evaluated following a 48-hr treatment with a combination of biosynthetic enzyme inhibitors to deplete intracellular polyamine pools. The latter declined gradually over 48 hr and was accompanied by a steady increase in spermidine (SPD) and spermine (SPM) transport as indicated by rises in Vmax to levels ∼4.5 times higher than control values. Restoration of individual polyamine pools during a 6-hr period following inhibitor treatment revealed that SPD and SPM uptake could not be selectively affected by specific pool changes. The effectiveness of individual polyamines in reversing inhibitor-induced stimulation of uptake was as follows: putrescine 〈 SPD 〈 SPM = the SPM analog, N1, N12-bis(ethyl)spermine (BESPM). In contrast to stimulation of transport, down-regulation by exogenous polyamines or analogs occurred rapidly and in response to subtle increases in intracellular pools. Following a 1-hr exposure to 10 μM BESPM, Vmax values for SPD and SPM fell by 70%, whereas the analog pool increased to only 400-500 pmol/106 cells - about 15-20% of the total polyamine pool (∼2.8 nmol/106 cells). SPM produced nearly identical regulatory effects on transport kinetics. Both BESPM and SPM were even more effective at down-regulating transport that had been previously stimulated four to fivefold by polyamine depletion achieved with enzyme inhibitors. A dose response with BESPM at 48 hr revealed a biphasic effect on uptake whereby concentrations of analog 〈 3 μM produced an increase in SPD and SPM Vmax values, whereas concentrations 3 μM and higher produced a marked suppression of these values. Cells treated with 3 μM BESPM for 2 hr and placed in analog-free medium recovered transport capability in only 3 hr. Thus, whereas stimulation of polyamine transport is a relatively insensitive and slowly responsive process that tends to parallel polyamine depletion, down-regulation of polyamine transport by exogenous polyamines and analogs and its reversal are rapidly responsive events that correlate with relatively small (i.e., 15-20%) changes in intracellular polyamine pools.

    Vanadate reduces sodium-dependent glucose transport and increases glycolytic activity in LLC-PK1 epithelia (1994)

    Notes: The effect of vanadate pentoxide on apical sodium-dependent glucose transport in LLC-PK1 epithelia was examined. Epithelia grown in the presence or absence of 1 μM vanadate formed confluent monolayers and exhibited no differences in DNA, protein, or ultrastructure. Vanadate-supplemented epithelia demonstrated a lower steady-state α-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (AMG) concentrating capacity and a twofold reduction in apical AMG uptake Jmax. This decreased AMG transport occurred as a consequence of a reduction in the number of transport carriers and was not associated with a change in the sodium electrochemical gradient. The vanadate-induced reduction in apical glucose carrier functional activity and expression was accompanied by a stimulation of intracellular glycolytic flux activity, as evidenced by increased glucose consumption, lactate production, PFK-1 activity, and intracellular ATP. There was no difference in intracellular cAMP levels between vanadate-supplemented and non-supplemented epithelia. These results demonstrate an association between stimulation of glycolytic pathway activity and an adaptive response in the form of a reduction in the function and expression of the sodium-dependent apical glucose transporter in LLC-PK1 epithelia. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Common senescent cell-specific antibody epitopes on fibronectin in species and cells of varied origin (1992)

    Notes: The phenomenon of in vitro cellular senescence has been demonstrated in cultured cells derived from humans and various other species. We have previously shown that monoclonal antibodies SEN-1, SEN-2, and SEN-3 react to epitopes on fibronectin that are exposed when human diploid fibroblasts become senescent. We here present results demonstrating that exposure of these epitopes is specific to senescence for a variety of human cells: epidermal keratinocytes, mammary epithelial cells, as well as fibroblasts. Fibronectin from 11 additional species was also analyzed by Western immunoblot for ability to bind the SEN antibodies. SEN-1 bound only human and gorilla fibronectin, whereas SEN-2 and SEN-3 bound fibronectin from those two species as well as the horse, cow, sheep, goat, dog, and chick. None of the antibodies reacted with fibronectin from the rabbit, rat, or mouse. These data indicated a correlation between the ability of the SEN antibodies to bind fibronectin from a particular species and the ability of cells from that species to exhibit a stable senescent phenotype in vitro. Therefore, exposure of this region of fibronectin may be important in the establishment and maintenance of cellular senescence. In addition, the ability of the SEN antibodies to react with fibronectin from a variety of senescent cells emphasizes their usefulness as markers for cellular senescence.
