    Notes: Abstract  Calcium-binding proteins are abundantly expressed in many neurons of mammalian retinae. Their physiological roles are, however, largely unknown. This is particularly true for calcium-modulating proteins (“calcium buffers”) such as calbindin D28k. Here, we have studied retinae of wildtype (+/+) and calbindin-null mutant (–/–) mice by using immunocytochemical methods. Although calbindin immunoreactivity was completely absent in the calbindin (–/–) retinae, those cells that express the protein in wildtype retinae, such as horizontal cells, were still present and appeared normal. This was verified by immunostaining horizontal cells for various neurofilament proteins. In order to assess whether other calcium-binding proteins are upregulated in the mutant mouse and may thus compensate for the loss of calbindin, mouse retinae were also immunolabeled for parvalbumin, calretinin, and a calmodulin-like protein (CALP). In no instance could a change in the expression pattern of these proteins be detected by immunocytochemical methods. Thus, our results show that calbindin is not required for the maintenance of the light-microscopic structure of the differentiated retina and suggest roles for this protein in retinal function.

    Notes: Isolation of Bafilomycin-A1-21-O-(α-L-rhamnopyranoside). Structural Determination by Chemical Correlation with Bafilomycin A1 and LeucanicidinFrom cultures of an actinomycete strain, the known antifungal and insecticidal antibiotic leucanicidin (1) and a hitherto unknown antifungal antibiotic, bafilomycin-A1-21-O-(α-L-rhamnopyranoside) (2), were isolated. The latter is spectroscopically closely related to 1 and bafilomycin A1 (3) and gave degradation products identical with compounds obtained by analogous degradation of 1 and 3.

    Notes: Metabolites of Microorganisms. Sulfur-Containing Ansa Compounds of the Naphthomycin TypeFrom a strain of Streptomyces (Tü 2357) in addition to naphthomycin A, 4 new yellow pigments were isolated and their structures determined by spectroscopic comparison with naphthomycin A. Whereas the naphthomycins D and E are simple derivatives of naphthomycin A, having OH and H, respectively, instead of Cl, the naphthomycins F and G contain an N-acetylcysteine residue linked to the aromatic moiety by a thioether group. Degradations with O3 yielded identical products from the naphthomycins A, D, F, and G, showing coincident configurations in parts of the molecules. Naphthomycin F shows some biological activity against gram-positive bacteria and fungi, although much weaker than naphthomycin A. The naphthomycins D, E, and G are inactive against microorganisms.

    Description: The use of propellants manufactured from indigenous space materials has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of mass required to be launched from the Earth's surface. The extent of the leverage, however, along with the cost for developing the infrastructure necessary to support such a process, is unclear. Many mission analyses have been performed that have attempted to quantify the potential benefits of in situ propellant utilization. Because the planning of future space missions includes many unknowns, the presentation of any single study on the use of in situ propellants is often met with critics' claims of the inaccuracy of assumptions or omission of infrastructure requirements. The results of many such mission analyses are presented in one format. Each summarized mission analysis used different assumptions and baseline mission scenarios. The conclusion from the studies is that the use of in situ produced propellants will provide significant reductions in Earth launch requirements. This result is consistent among all of the analyses regardless of the assumptions used to obtain the quantitative results. The determination of the best propellant combination and the amount of savings will become clearer and more apparent as the technology work progresses.

    Description: NASA's LeRC has supported several efforts to understand how lunar and Martian produced propellants can be used to their best advantage for space exploration propulsion. A discussion of these efforts and their results is presented. A Manned Mars Mission Analysis Study identified that a more thorough technology base for propellant production is required before the net economic benefits of in situ propellants can be determined. Evaluation of the materials available on the moon indicated metal/oxygen combinations are the most promising lunar propellants. A hazard analysis determined that several lunar metal/LOX monopropellants could be safely worked with in small quantities, and a characterization study was initiated to determine the physical and chemical properties of potential lunar monopropellant formulations. A bipropellant metal/oxygen subscale test engine which utilizes pneumatic injection of powdered metal is being pursued as an alternative to the monopropellant systems. The technology for utilizing carbon monoxide/oxygen, a potential Martian propellant, was studied in subscale ignition and rocket performance experiments.

    Description: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast commonly used in baking and a frequent colonizer of human mucosal surfaces. It is considered relatively nonpathogenic in immunocompetent adults. We present a case of S. cerevisiae fungemia and aortic graft infection in an immunocompetent adult. This is the first reported case of S. cerevisiue fungemia where the identity of the pathogen was confirmed by rRNA sequencing.

    Description: Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoan parasite responsible for most human malaria, is among the most studied pathogens of all time, probably only exceeded by the human immunodeficiency virus HTV and the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The extent of human suffering and the devastating costs of malaria have long been recognized by world bodies, and numerous initiatives have been taken over the years in an effort to defeat this insidious microbe. Beginning in 1996, an international consortium of scientists from more than a dozen institutions set about to determine the sequence of the organism's 23-megabase genome. Their massive effort-which ended up going well beyond simple sequencing is reported in this special issue of Nature. The avowed goal of the project was to search for chinks in the parasite's armor so that new and effective drugs and vaccines might be developed.

    Description: Microorganisms in a specimen are detected, identified, and enumerated by introducing the specimen into a sampling cartridge and diluting the specimen with a known volume of water within the cartridge. The cartridge has a manifold and several cassettes attached to the manifold. Each cassette contains a serpentine flow channel having a series of filters therein and a detection cell located downstream from each filter. The flow channel in each cassette also contains a culture medium which is freeze dried and is highly selective in the sense that it promotes the growth of one type of microorganism, but not others. The mixture of the specimen and water flows from the manifold into the flow channel of each cassette where it rehydrates the culture medium therein and further flows through the filters. Each filter removes a known proportion of the microorganisms from the mixture of specimen, water and medium, thereby effecting a serial dilution. After the cassettes are heated to incubate the microoganisms, the detection cells are observed for growth of the microorganisms therein which is manifested in a change in the light transmitting characteristics of the mixtures within the cells.

    Description: Support from this grant continues to fund our research on two related problems. One involves attempts to model the abiotic formation of simple source compounds for functional biomolecules, their concentration from dilute state in the hydrosphere and in several cases surface induced reactions to form precursor monomers for bioactive end products. The second area is a search for the earliest traces of life on Earth and the early environments on Earth and Mars. For this purpose we have analyzed the isotopic compositions of carbon and nitrogen in graphitic residues that have been thought to represent the remains of microorganisms. The results of these studies have been presented in a number of publication, listed as references.
