    Description: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is pivotal in B cell activation and development through its participation in the signaling pathways of multiple hematopoietic receptors. The mechanisms controlling BTK activation were studied here by examination of the biochemical consequences of an interaction between BTK and SRC family kinases. This interaction of BTK with SRC kinases transphosphorylated BTK on tyrosine at residue 551, which led to BTK activation. BTK then autophosphorylated at a second site. The same two sites were phosphorylated upon B cell antigen receptor cross-linking. The activated BTK was predominantly membrane-associated, which suggests that BTK integrates distinct receptor signals resulting in SRC kinase activation and BTK membrane targeting.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rawlings, D J -- Scharenberg, A M -- Park, H -- Wahl, M I -- Lin, S -- Kato, R M -- Fluckiger, A C -- Witte, O N -- Kinet, J P -- AR01912/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR36834/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- CA09120-20/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Feb 9;271(5250):822-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of California, Los Angeles 90095-1662, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8629002" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Patients with heart failure have abnormal neurohormonal regulation during orthostatic stress, and abnormal arterial baroreflex function. This study investigated the effects of alacepril, a new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor with sulfhydryls, on changes in neurohormonal factors during tilt and on the arterial baroreflex control of heart rate. Methods: Plasma concentrations of noradrenaline, adrenaline, renin activity, angiotensin II, and atrial natriuretic peptide were measured at supine rest and after 30° head-up tilt with measurements of central venous pressure and cardiac dimensions in seven patients with congestive heart failure (65 years, ejection fraction = 34%). Arterial baroreflex control of heart rate was assessed by phenylephrine bolus. The arterial baroreflex test was re-examined 3 h after oral alacepril (37.5 mg). The tilt and arterial baroreflex tests were repeated 12 weeks after alacepril treatment (50 mg␣·␣day−1). Results: Heart rate, blood pressure, and neurohormonal factors did not differ before and after chronic alacepril, except for a trend toward an increase in renin activity (2.0 vs 4.9 ng · ml−1· h−1). Head-up tilt decreased central venous pressure (−2.5 mmHg) with a decrease in cardiac dimensions in the pre-alacepril phase. These changes were accompanied by increases in noradrenaline, adrenaline, and angiotensin II and a decrease in atrial natriuretic peptide. After chronic alacepril, the increase in noradrenaline during head-up tilt tended to be smaller (84 vs 30 pg · ml−1), with similar changes in central venous pressure (−3.4 mmHg) and cardiac dimensions. Both acute (3.6 vs 4.8 ms · mmHg−1) and chronic (3.6 vs 6.7 ms · mmHg−1) alacepril treatment was associated with a trend towards an increase in the arterial baroreflex control of heart rate. Conclusion: These results suggest that treatment with alacepril may cause a reduction of sympathetic activation during orthostatic stress and may enhance arterial baroreflex function in patients with mild to moderate heart failure.

    Notes: Abstract To elucidate the effect of Nicorandil on myocardial energy metabolism and myocardial sympathetic activity, we administered Nicorandil orally to eight patients with angina pectoris prior to exercise testing. Arterial and coronary sinus levels of lactate, ammonia, hypoxanthine (HX), adrenaline and noradrenaline were measured during exercise in order to determine the irrespective myocardial extraction ratios (MER). Compared to placebo, Nicorandil increased the time to development of significant ST depression (322 vs 390 s) while decreasing the maximum amplitude of ST depression (0.244 vs 0.216 mV). Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and the rate pressure product during exercise were not significantly affected. The MER of lactate, measured during exercise, was significantly higher after Nicorandil than placebo (13.6 vs 27.9). Similarly, the MERs of ammonia and HX were significantly higher after Nicorandil (-46.0 vs 7.4% and −47.0 vs 9.9% respectively). Nicorandil, had no apparent effect on myocardial sympathetic activity as the MERs of adrenaline and noradrenaline were essentially unaffected. We conclude that Nicorandil decreased myocardial ischaemia and suppressed myocardial accelerated purine metabolism (a marker of cellular energy metabolism) during exercise in patients with angina pectoris. This effect appears not to be related to myocardial sympathetic activity.

    Notes: Crystals of a novel histidine protein kinase domain of the anaerobic sensor protein ArcB from Escherichia coli have been obtained by a hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method with micro- and macroseeding techniques. Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that they belong to space group P212121 with dimensions a = 30.56, b = 34.93 and c = 110.78 Å, having one molecule in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 2.0 Å resolution.

    Notes: The use of ultrashort pulses (full width at half-maximum=1–100 ps) as a source of broadband, time-resolved radiation has high potential for application in microwave diagnostics for fusion plasmas. Here we report on the ultrashort-pulse reflectometry system developed for electron density profile and fluctuation measurements on the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. The four-channel system (selectable frequencies of 8–17 GHz at 1 GHz intervals) measures the double-pass time-of-flight from the vacuum window to the cutoff layer. The hardware has an uncertainty of ±40 ps and can be operated at a repetition rate of 400 kHz. The system is operational, however, data from plasma experiments is unavailable at the moment. Results from a single-channel O-mode system show time-of-flight measurements consistent with values calculated from profiles obtained by a scannable single-channel interferometer. Fluctuation measurements are also consistent with results from a Fraunhofer diffraction diagnostic. These results suggest that with further refinements, ultrashort- pulse reflectometry will yield a simple yet reliable diagnostic for fusion devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands are oceanic islands located in the northwest Pacific, and have ten native (nine endemic) bee species, all of which are nonsocial. The European honeybee (Apis mellifera), which was introduced to the islands for apiculture in the 1880s, became naturalized in a few islands shortly after introduction. To detect the impact of the honeybees upon native bee diversity, we analyzed pollen harvest by honeybees and surveyed the relative abundance of honeybees and native bees on flowers on several islands. Both hived and feral honeybee colonies were active throughout the year, harvesting pollen of both native and alien flowers and from both entomophilous and anemophilous flowers. Honeybees strongly depended on the alien plants, especially during winter to spring when native melittophilous flowers were rare. From June to November, honeybees exhaustively utilized native flowers, which had originally been utilized and pollinated by native bees. On Chichi and Haha Islands, where human disturbance of forests has been severe, both native and alien flowers were dominated by honeybees, and native bees were rare or extinct even in well-conserved forests. In contrast, on Ani Island and Haha's satellite islands where primary forests were well conserved and honeybees were still uncommon or absent, native bees remained dominant. These results suggest that competition for nectar and pollen of the native flowers between honeybees and native bees favors honeybees on the disturbed islands, which are thoroughly invaded by alien nectariferous, sometimes aggressive, weedy plants.

    Notes: Abstract Using AnCP (Aspergillus nidulans CCAAT-binding protein) as a CCAAT-specific binding factor model, the possibility that one factor is able to recognize CCAAT sequences in several different genes in A.␣nidulans was examined. DNase I protection analysis showed that AnCP specifically bound to CCAAT sequence-containing regions comprising 21 to 36 bp of the taa, amdS and gatA genes. Furthermore, replacement of the CCAAT sequence with CGTAA was found to abolish the binding of AnCP and to have an inhibitory effect on taa promoter activity. This clearly demonstrates a positive function of the CCAAT element. However, amylase was induced by starch and repressed by glucose in a CCAAT-box disruptant, as in wild-type cells.
