    Notizen: Abstract Two starch branching enzyme (SBE) cDNAs were identified in an Arabidopsis seedling hypocotyl library using maize Sbe1 and Sbe2 cDNAs as probes. The two cDNAs have diverged 5′ and 3′ ends, but encode proteins which share 90% identity over an extensive region with 70% identity to maize SBE IIb [12]. Genomic Southern blots suggest that the two cDNAs are the products of single, independent genes, and that additional, more distantly related SBE genes may exist in the Arabidopsis genome. The two cDNAs hybridize to transcripts which show similar expression patterns in Arabidopsis vegetative and reproductive tissues, including seedlings, inflorescence rachis, mature leaves, and flowers. This is the first report of the identification of cDNAs encoding two closely related starch branching enzymes from the same species.

    Notizen: Abstract Two cDNA clones encoding two different β-tubulins, RTUB-1 and RTUB-2, were isolated from a rice cDNA library and their nucleotide sequences were analyzed. The deduced amino acid sequences showed amino acid sequence identity between 92% and 97% with other plant β-tubulins. Southern blot analysis using gene-specific and coding-region probes suggested that β-tubulins in rice are encoded by multigene families. The two cDNA clones represent two subfamilies of rice tubulins. RTUB-1 and RTUB-2, consisting of 3 to 4 genes and a single gene, respectively. The transcript levels of RTUB-1 and RTUB-2 genes were higher in actively elongating tissues such as etiolated shoot tissues and light-grown root tissues of four-day old seedlings.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (EC 4.4.1.14) purified from apple (Malus sylvestris Mill.) fruit was subjected to trypsin digestion. Following separation by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography, ten tryptic peptides were sequenced. Based on the sequences of three tryptic peptides, three sets of mixed oligonucleotide probes were synthesized and used to screen a plasmid cDNA library prepared from poly(A)+ RNA of ripe apple fruit. A 1.5-kb (kilobase) cDNA clone which hybridized to all three probes were isolated. The clone contained an open reading frame of 1214 base pairs (bp) encoding a sequence of 404 amino acids. While the polyadenine tail at the 3′-end was intact, it lacked a portion of sequence at the 5′-end. Using the RNA-based polymerase chain reaction, an additional sequence of 148 bp was obtained at the 5′-end. Thus, 1362 bp were sequenced and they encode 454 amino acids. The deduced amino-acid sequence contained peptide sequences corresponding to all ten tryptic fragments, confirming the identity of the cDNA clone. Comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequence between ACC synthase from apple fruit and those from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and winter squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) fruits demonstrated the presence of seven highly conserved regions, including the previously identified region for the active site. The size of the translation product of ACC-synthase mRNA was similar to that of the mature protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), indicating that apple ACC-synthase undergoes only minor, if any, post-translational proteolytic processing. Analysis of ACC-synthase mRNA by in-vitro translation-immunoprecipitation, and by Northern blotting indicates that the ACC-synthase mRNA was undetectable in unripe fruit, but was accumulated massively during the ripening proccess. These data demonstrate that the expression of the ACC-synthase gene is developmentally regulated.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The objective of this study was to investigate how culture conditions would affect the morphological, functional, and permeability characteristics of rabbit tracheal epithelial cell layers being considered for drug transport studies. Methods. Rabbit tracheocytes were isolated by protease treatment and plated onto collagen-treated permeable supports at 1.3 × 106 cells/cm2. After 24 hr, cell layers were cultured either air-interfaced (AIC) on their apical surface or under conventional liquid covered conditions (LCC). Results. Scanning electron microscopy revealed mature cilia in AIC cell layers and ciliated cells denuded of cilia in LCC cell layers. Compared with LCC, AIC cell layers (n = 20) achieved a significantly higher peak equivalent short-circuit current (74.1 ± 6.5 vs. 51.6 ± 3.4 µA/cm2), a higher potential difference (70.9 ± 2.8 vs. 60.5 ± 3.0 mV), and a lower peak transepithelial electrical resistance (1.1 ± 0.03 vs. 1.5 ± 0.02 kohms,cm2). About 70% of the short-circuit current in AIC was amiloride-sensitive whereas 〈10% was furosemide-sensitive, similar to that found in native tissue. The corresponding values in LCC were 50% and 46%. The permeability of both AIC and LCC to lipophilic solutes (dexamethasone and propranolol) was similar, whereas the permeability of hydrophilic solutes (mannitol, sucrose, and albuterol) in AIC was only half that in LCC. Conclusions. Given the striking similarity in morphological and functional characteristics of the AIC to those in the in vivo situation, the AIC is favored as an in vitro model for future drug transport studies.

    Notizen: Abstract This study examines relations between stock returns and potential explanatory factors in Korea, an important and segmented emerging market. Our results show that Korean stock returns in general and returns on stocks listed in Section 1 in particular are significantly positively related to book-to-market, sales-price, and debt-equity ratios, but not significantly related to market value of equity. Returns on stocks listed in Section 2 are, however, negatively related to market value of equity and not significantly related to the other three variables. Among the variables investigated by us, book-to-market ratio has the greatest explanatory power for stock returns and it indicates superior returns for value stocks. Our findings strengthen the international evidence of the role of book-to-market ratio in explaining stock returns by demonstrating its significance even in the segmented Korean market.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract Four cDNA clones, named pSEN2, pSEN3, pSEN4, and pSEN5, for mRNAs induced during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana were characterized. The clones were isolated from a cDNA library of detached leaves incubated in darkness for 2 days to accelerate senescence, first by differential screening and then by examining expression of the primarily screened clones during age-dependent leaf senescence. Transcript levels detected by these cDNA clones, thus, were up-regulated in an age-dependent manner and during dark-induced leaf senescence. In contrast, when leaf senescence was induced by ethylene, ABA or methyl jasmonate, the transcript level detected by the clones was differentially regulated depending on the senescence-inducing hormones. The transcript level for pSEN4 increased during senescence induced by all three hormones, while the transcript detected by the pSEN2 clone did not increase during senescence induced by ethylene. The transcript level for pSEN5 was increased upon ABA-induced senescence but decreased during ethylene-induced senescence. The pSEN3 clone detected multiple transcripts that are differentially regulated by these factors. The results show that, although the apparent senescence symptoms of Arabidopsis leaf appear similar regardless of the senescence-inducing factors, the detailed molecular state of leaf cells during senescence induced by different senescence-inducing factors is different. The pSEN3 clone encodes a polyubiquitin and the pSEN4 clone encodes a peptide related to endoxyloglucan transferase. This result is consistent with the expected roles of senescence-induced genes during leaf senescence.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To study Cereport (RMP-7, bradykinin B2 agonist) effects on human brain microvascular endothelial cell (HBMEC) monolayer permeability. Methods. HBMEC grown on transwell membranes were exposed to Cereport. The monolayer permeability was determined with [I4C]-inulin (MW. 5,200) and [3H]-dextran (MW. 70,000). Results. Cereport increased the HBMEC permeability to [l4C]-inulin, but not to [3H]-dextran. The effect was transient, maximal at 15 min (i.e., 79.3% increase), and polarized to the basolateral membrane. An inverted U, dose-response curve was observed with active concentrations of Cereport from 0.01 to 0.5 nmol/L, the plateau maximal effect between 0.5 and 10 nmol/L, and loss of activity at the highest concentration, i.e., 20 nmol/L. Cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor rolipram (10 μmol/L) abolished Cereport effects, while cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor, zaniprast (50 μmol/L) enhanced by 31 % (p 〈 0.05) the effect of 0.1 nmol/L Cereport. Unlabeled Cereport displaced [12 5I]-bradykinin and/or [125I]-Cereport from the basolateral side. There was no specific Cereport binding to the apical side. Conclusions. Cereport exerts specific time, dose and size dependent actions on HMBEC monolayer that are restricted to the basolateral membrane. Its effects can be further modulated through changes in cAMP and cGMP second messenger systems.

    Notizen: Abstract Twenty-five samples from 18 terrestrial and/or freshwater habitats in the eastern part of Korea yielded 38 new records of bdelloid rotifers, 22 of which are new to the Asian fauna. Among these Korean new records, Dissotrocha aculeata reversa Berzins and Habrotrocha plana Milne were recorded outside their type localities for the first time, and Macrotrachela bullata (Murray) was reported only from two countries after its description. Bradyscela granulosa de Koning, Habrotrocha gracilis gracilis Montet, Macrotrachela latior Donner, Philodina duplicalcar (de Koning) and P. rugosa coriacea Bryce are recorded outside Europe for the first time. The taxonomy and distribution of these rare species are discussed.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract We report the characterization of a Brassica napus cDNA clone (pBTH1) encoding a protein (BTH1) with two enzymatic activities in the thiamin biosynthetic pathway, thiamin-phosphate pyrophosphorylase (TMP-PPase) and 2-methyl-4-amino-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine-monophosphate kinase (HMP-P kinase). The cDNA clone was isolated by a novel functional complementation strategy employing an Escherichia coli mutant deficient in the TMP-PPase activity. A biochemical assay showed the clone to confer recovery of TMP-PPase activity in the E. coli mutant strain. The cDNA clone is 1746 bp long and contains an open reading frame encoding a peptide of 524 amino acids. The C-terminal part of BTH1 showed 53% and 59% sequence similarity to the N-terminal TMP-PPase region of the bifunctional yeast proteins Saccharomyces THI6 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe THI4, respectively. The N-terminal part of BTH1 showed 58% sequence similarity to HMP-P kinase of Salmonella typhimurium. The cDNA clone functionally complemented the S. typhimurium and E. coli thiD mutants deficient in the HMP-P kinase activity. These results show that the clone encodes a bifunctional protein with TMP-PPase at the C-terminus and HMP-P kinase at the N-terminus. This is in contrast to the yeast bifunctional proteins that encode TMP-PPase at the N-terminus and 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole kinase at the C-terminus. Expression of the BTH1 gene is negatively regulated by thiamin, as in the cases for the thiamin biosynthetic genes of microorganisms. This is the first report of a plant thiamin biosynthetic gene on which a specific biochemical activity is assigned. The Brassica BTH1 gene may correspond to the Arabidopsis TH-1 gene.

    Notizen: Summary To investigate the cell physiologic and biological properties of the alveolar epithelium, we studied rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers grown on permeable supports in primary culture. Type II alveolar epithelial cells were disaggregated using elastase, and partially purified on a discontinuous metrizamide gradient. These isolated cells were plated onto tissue culture-treated Nuclepore membrane filters at 1.5×106 cells/cm2 and maintained in a humidified incubator (5% CO2 in air, 37° C). After 2 days in culture, the bathing media on both sides of the cell monolayers were changed to fresh culture medium, thus removing nonadherent cells (mostly leukocytes). These monolayers exhibit a high transmonolayer resistance (〉2000 Ω-cm2) and actively transport ions. Radionuclide flux studies indicate that Na+ is the predominant ionic species absorbed actively under baseline conditions, accounting for about 80% of the total active ion transport. Cl− seems to be passively transported across the epithelium. However, when the epithelium is exposed to a beta-agonist (terbutaline), active absorption of Na+ is increased and active absorption of Cl− occurs. Although it is clear that both active Na+ and Cl− transport are dependent on Na+/K+-ATPase activity, and that Na+ enters cells predominantly through channels, the specific mechanisms by which Cl− enters and exits the alveolar epithelial cells remain unclear. The stimulated reabsorption of Na+ and Cl− may be important in helping to remove excess fluid from alveolar air spaces in the lung.
