    Description: Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin produced in natural environments from inorganic mercury by anaerobic bacteria. However, until now the genes and proteins involved have remained unidentified. Here, we report a two-gene cluster, hgcA and hgcB, required for mercury methylation by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132 and Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA. In either bacterium, deletion of hgcA, hgcB, or both genes abolishes mercury methylation. The genes encode a putative corrinoid protein, HgcA, and a 2[4Fe-4S] ferredoxin, HgcB, consistent with roles as a methyl carrier and an electron donor required for corrinoid cofactor reduction, respectively. Among bacteria and archaea with sequenced genomes, gene orthologs are present in confirmed methylators but absent in nonmethylators, suggesting a common mercury methylation pathway in all methylating bacteria and archaea sequenced to date.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Parks, Jerry M -- Johs, Alexander -- Podar, Mircea -- Bridou, Romain -- Hurt, Richard A Jr -- Smith, Steven D -- Tomanicek, Stephen J -- Qian, Yun -- Brown, Steven D -- Brandt, Craig C -- Palumbo, Anthony V -- Smith, Jeremy C -- Wall, Judy D -- Elias, Dwayne A -- Liang, Liyuan -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Mar 15;339(6125):1332-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1230667.

    Description: Linkage analysis in families with apparent autosomal dominant reading disability produced a lod score of 3.241. Since the traditionally accepted significance level for linkage is a lod score of 3.0, these results strongly suggest that a gene playing a major etiologic role in one form of reading disability is on chromosome 15.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, S D -- Kimberling, W J -- Pennington, B F -- Lubs, H A -- R01 HD 13899/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Mar 18;219(4590):1345-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6828864" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Chromosome 14 breakpoints in malignant human lymphocytes cluster on the long (q) arm near bands q11 and q32. An inversion of chromosome 14 due to breaks in q11.2 and q32.3 has now been found in a newly established childhood T-cell lymphoma cell line and confirmed in T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A translocation was also found between chromosomes 10 and 14 with a breakpoint at 14q11.2 in another T-cell lymphoma cell line. It is proposed that a proximal region on chromosome 14 in or near sub-band q11.2 is related to T-cell function. Rearrangements in this region may affect the growth of T lymphocytes and be involved in the development of T-cell malignancies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hecht, F -- Morgan, R -- Hecht, B K -- Smith, S D -- 25055/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Dec 21;226(4681):1445-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6438800" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Deletions of the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q-) are frequently found in hematopoietic neoplasms, including acute lymphoblastic leukemias, non-Hodgkin lymphomas and (less frequently) myeloid leukemias. The c-myb proto-oncogene has been mapped to region 6q21-24, which suggests that it could be involved in the 6q- aberrations. By means of in situ chromosomal hybridization on cells from six hematopoietic malignancies, it was demonstrated that the c-myb locus is not deleted, but is retained on band q22, which is consistently bordered by the chromosomal breakpoints in both interstitial and terminal 6q- deletions. The deletion breakpoints were located at some distance from the myb locus since no rearrangement of c-myb sequences was found. In one case, however, amplification of the entire c-myb locus was detectable. Furthermore, in all cases tested that carry 6q- deletions, myb messenger RNA levels were significantly higher than in normal cells or in malignant cells matched for lineage and stage of differentiation but lacking the 6q- marker. These results indicate that 6q- deletions are accompanied by structural and functional alterations of the c-myb locus and that these alterations may be involved in the pathogenesis of leukemias and lymphomas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barletta, C -- Pelicci, P G -- Kenyon, L C -- Smith, S D -- Dalla-Favera, R -- CA16239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Feb 27;235(4792):1064-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3469751" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An inversion of chromosome 14 present in the tumor cells of a patient with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia of B-cell lineage was shown to be the result of a site-specific recombination event between an immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable gene and the joining segment of a T-cell receptor alpha chain. This rearrangement resulted in the formation of a hybrid gene, part immunoglobulin and part T-cell receptor. Furthermore, this hybrid gene was transcribed into messenger RNA with a completely open reading frame. Thus, two loci felt to be normally activated at distinct and disparate points in lymphocyte development were unified and expressed in this tumor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Denny, C T -- Hollis, G F -- Hecht, F -- Morgan, R -- Link, M P -- Smith, S D -- Kirsch, I R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Oct 10;234(4773):197-200.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3092355" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) is a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that is found in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a subset of acute lymphocytic leukemia patients (ALL). In CML, this results in the expression of a chimeric 8.5-kilobase BCR-ABL transcript that encodes the P210BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. The Ph1 chromosome in ALL expresses a distinct ABL-derived 7-kilobase messenger RNA that encodes the P185ALL-ABL protein. Since the expression of different oncogene products may play a role in the distinctive presentation of Ph1-positive ALL versus CML, it is necessary to understand the molecular basis for the expression of P185ALL-ABL. Both P210BCR-ABL and P185ALL-ABL are recognized by an antiserum directed to BCR determinants in the amino-terminal region of both proteins. Antisera to BCR determinants proximal to the BCR-ABL junction in CML immunoprecipitated P210BCR-ABL but not P185ALL-ABL. Nucleotide sequence analysis of complementary DNA clones made from RNA from the Ph1-positive ALL SUP-B15 cell line, and S1 nuclease protection analysis confirmed the presence of BCR-ABL chimeric transcripts in Ph1-positive ALL cells. In Ph1-positive ALL, ABL sequences were joined to BCR sequences approximately 1.5 kilobases 5' of the CML junction. P185ALL-ABL represents the product of a BCR-ABL fusion gene in Ph1-positive ALL that is distinct from the BCR-ABL fusion gene of CML.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Clark, S S -- McLaughlin, J -- Timmons, M -- Pendergast, A M -- Ben-Neriah, Y -- Dow, L W -- Crist, W -- Rovera, G -- Smith, S D -- Witte, O N -- CA-20180/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-21765/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-34233/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Feb 12;239(4841 Pt 1):775-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, UCLA 90024.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3422516" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: The possibility of using bistable nonlinear Fabry–Perot interferometers as wide-band data transparent all-optical spatial switches has been investigated. It has been shown that three such devices, switching between transmitting and reflecting states, can form a 1×4 optical routing network: controlled purely by coded header pulses, preceding the data stream. The prospects for developing the performance of switches of this type towards the level required in practical telecommunications systems are discussed.

    Notes: We present a theoretical model describing a pixellated, optically bistable, interference filter illuminated by a Gaussian beam. Preliminary experiments using ZnSe devices and 514-nm wavelength radiation show good agreement with this model for pixels of area 80×100 μm2 and a depth of 60 μm. Critical powers and cooling rates are presented for different combinations of materials and pixel dimensions.

    Notes: Etched mirrors for semiconductor lasers are necessary for optoelectronic integrated circuit applications. This letter reports on the use of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactor to create etched mirrors on GaAs/AlGaAs ridge lasers. Etch chemistries consisting of boron trichloride and chlorine were used to achieve both smooth and vertical mirror surfaces. Optical measurements indicate that devices fabricated with ICP etched mirrors are comparable to devices formed by cleaved mirrors. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
