    Notes: Karyotypically XY individuals of the C57BL/6J-YPOS mouse stock develop as females or hermaphrodites, but never as normal males. The aberrant sexual development results from the interaction of the C57BL/6J genetic background with the M. poschiavinus-derived Y chromosome. XY females from this stock were assayed for H-Y antigen. By the criteria of skin-grafting, the cell-mediated lympholysis test, and the popliteal lymph node assay, these XY females are antigenically indistinguishable from normal C57BL/6 males. Implications for the hypothesis that H-Y antigen induces formation of the mammalian testis are discussed.

    Notes: The Ca2+ activation mechanism of the longitudinal body wall muscles of Parastichopus californicus (sea cucumber) was studied using skinned muscle fiber bundles. Reversible phosphorylation of the myosin light chains correlated with Ca2+-activated tension and relaxation. Pretreatment of the skinned fibers with ATPγS and high Ca2+ (10-5M) resulted in irreversible thiophosphorylation of the myosin light chains and activation of a Ca2+ insensitive tension. In contrast, pretreatment with low Ca2+ (10-8M) and ATPγS results in no thiophosphorylation of the myosin light chains or irreversible activation of tension. These results are consistent with a Ca2+-sensitive myosin light chain kinase/phosphatase system being responsible for the activation of the muscle. Other agents known to have an effect upon the Ca2+-activated tension in skinned vertebrate smooth muscle fibers (trifluoperazine, catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and calmodulin) did not have an effect on myosin light chain phosphorylation or Ca2+-activated tension. These results suggest a different type of myosin light chain kinase than is found in vertebrate smooth muscle is responsible for the activation of parastichopus longitudinal body wall muscle.

    Notes: The distal tips of the central pair and A-microtubules are capped in mammalian and avian tracheal cilia. The capping structures are similar to those found in protozoan cilia and flagella [Dentler, 1981], and consist of a central microtubule cap that links the central microtubules to the membrane or to the ciliary crown and A-microtubule plugs that insert into the lumen of each of the A-microtubule plugs is bound to the central microtubule cap by distal filaments. The ends of the central and outer doublet microtubules are tightly bound to the cap in both intact and in demembranated and reactivated tracheal cilia. Analysis of the displacement of the microtubule tips in cilia fixed at various bend angles revealed that the displacements of A-microtubules are only partially in agreement with those predicted by the sliding filament model [Satir, 1968]. These results are discussed with respect to the regulation of microtubule sliding in capped cilia and the role of the microtubule capping structures in microtubule assembly.

    Notes: To assess the ability of ram spermatozoa to bind to oocytes, spermatozoa (2.5-200 × 106/500μ1) taken from the rete testis, or from various regions of the epididymis (head, body, and tail) were mixed with cumulus-free heterologous oocytes obtained from immature superovulated rats. After incubation for 30-45 min in Parker 199 Hepes medium at 35°C, testicular spermatozoa were unable to bind to the zona at any of the concentrations used. However, spermatozoa from the middle body of the epididymus were able to bind to the zona and this binding reached a maximum in the distal body and in the tail of the epididymis. The spermatozoa were bound by their heads. Electron microscopy showed that the plasma membrane and the acrosome of the bound sperm remained intact, without any sign of an acrosome reaction.

    Notes: The effects of aging golden hamster spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract on the percentage of ova fertilized, the stage of development, and the chromosome complement of the resulting zygotes were studied. Females were inseminated artificially with cauda epididymal sperm at 6 h (control), 10, 15,18, or 21 h before the estimated time of ovulation. A decrease in the percentage of ova fertilized was found as the time spermatozoa were aged in utero prior to ovulation increased. The zygotes collected at 56 h postovulation from females inseminated 15 or 18 h prior to ovulation were delayed in development, as judged by the number of blastomeres. Although an increase of chromosomally abnormal zygotes was not found, a possibility exists that mosaicism may have been present, as evidenced by zygotes with unequal sized blastomeres, and went undetected.

    Notes: Glucocorticoid hormones selectively stimulate the rate of transcription of integrated mammary tumor virus (MTV) sequences in infected rat hepatoma cells. Using two independent assays, we find that purified rat liver glucocorticoid receptor protein binds specifically to at least four widely separated regions on pure MTV proviral DNA. One of these specific binding domains, which itself contains at least two distinct receptor binding sites, resides within a fragment of viral DNA that maps 110-449 bp upstream of the promoter for MTV RNA synthesis. Three other binding domains lie downstream of the promoter and within the MTV primary transcription unit. Restriction fragments bearing separate binding domains have been introduced into cultured cells; transformants have been recovered in which the introduced fragments arc expressed under glucocorticoid control. Thus, it appears that this assay will be useful for assessing the biological significance of the receptor binding sites detected in vitro.

    Notes: A monoclonal antibody of the IgG class, EGFR1, has been isolated using cells of the epidermoid carcinoma line A431 as immunogen. The A431 antigen recognized by EGFR1 has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 175,000, is a cell-surface molecule which can be specifically cross-linked to EGF, exhibits an EGF-stimulated protein kinase activity, binds to EGFR1 in a number of human cell lines to a degree which parallels EGF binding, and shows EGF-dependent internalization in A431 cells and human fibroblasts. We therefore conclude that EGFR1 is directed against an antigenic site on the human EGF receptor. EGFR1 is not mitogenic for human fibroblasts and does not inhibit EGF binding under a variety of assay conditions. The characterization of EGFR1 has allowed the unambiguous assignment of the structural gene for the human EGF receptor to chromosome 7. Preliminary results suggest that a convenient method for isolating a range of anti-EGF receptor monoclonal antibodies can be developed, based on a hybridoma supernatant screening assay in which positive supernatants bind selectively to a human-mouse cell hybrid containing human chromosome 7.

    Notes: The effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced differentiation of Friend leukemia cells in vitro on the lipid composition of these cells have been examined. DMSO had no early effect on the incorporation of either [14C] glycerol or [3H] methyl choline chloride into the total lipids or individual phospholipids of Friend cells up to 240 min after addition of the inducer. Examination of DMSO-diferentiated Friend cell phospholipids revealed a percentage composition which was similar to control cells, with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in both uninduced and differentiated cells accounting for over 75% of the total phospholipid. Sphingomyelin levels were significantly lower in Friend cells than in normal adult mouse erythrocytes, and differentiation of murine erythroleukemia cells resulted in a further lowering of this phospholipid. In contrast, a significant increase in the level of phosphatidylethanolamine occured as a result of maturation. Fatty acid analysis of major lipid classes of differentiated Friend cells showed significant reduction in saturation, but no alteration in chain length in comparison to undifferentiated cells. A pronounced decrease in the cellular content of both free and esterified cholesterol, which resulted in a 45% decrease in the ratio of cholesterol/phospholipids, occurred in cells differentiated by the polar solvent. The findings indicate that erythrodifferentiation induced by DMSO results in a variety of changes in the lipid composition of the membranes of Friend leukemia cells.

    Notes: The carbohydrate components of some glycoproteins of hamster cells differ as a function of their growth on various substrates; glass, plastic, or plastic coated with collagen. This observation is interpreted as an effect of the environment on cellular structure at the molecular level. The basis of the change and its possible significance are discussed.
