    Notes: Summary The nonhistone chromosomal proteins (NHC proteins) probably include enzymes of chromosomal metabolism, general structural proteins, and possibly control elements. In theory, these proteins may have been strongly conserved during evolution, as the histones have. We have used sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) disc gel electrophoresis to analyze and compare the NHC proteins of two tissues, liver and kidney, from rat, cat, cow, chicken, turtle, and frog. The gel patterns indicate that the NHC proteins have changed much more during evolution than have the histones; the total pattern of NHC proteins has not been conserved. However, there does appear to be a conservation of a subset of bands for each tissue investigated. Further chemical analysis will be required to establish the significance of the results.

    Notes: Abstract The chronic toxicity of mercury (Hg) toDaphnia magna was studied under flow-through and renewed static conditions. Concentrations of mercuric chloride (HgCl2), methyl mercuric chloride (MMC) and phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA) in flow-through tests significantly affecting survival were 1.92, between 0.26 and 0.98, and 2.25μg Hg/L, respectively. Concentrations of HgCl2, MMC, and PMA significantly impairing young production (P⩽0.05) were 0.72, 0.04, and 1.90μg Hg/L, respectively. Body accumulation of mercury was greatly influenced by the chemical form of mercury in the water. About nine times more mercury, added as MMC, was tolerated in daphnids at water concentrations permitting survival than was tolerated when added as HgCl2. At about the same mercury concentration in water (∼0.26μg Hg/L) daphnids accumulated ∼20 times more mercury when it was added as MMC than when it was added as HgCl2. Mercury was rapidly accumulated in daphnids; however, 35 and 57% of the mercury added as MMC and HgCl2, respectively, was lost when animals were placed in control water for four days following exposure. Different forms of mercury behaved quite differently in renewed-static and flow-through systems. The results also indicate the shortcomings of renewed-static tests with volatile and readily degradable compounds.

    Notes: Abstract The diurnal-to-monthly behavior of the fluxes of OCS, H2S, and CS2 from a mixed-Spartina grass-covered site in a Wallops Island salt water marsh was determined through a series of experiments in August and September, 1982. Absolute flux values were determined for OCS and H2S, while only relative values were determined for CS2. The rates of emission of OCS and H2S were observed to vary diurnally and to be strongly influenced by tides. The time-averaged flux values show that such mixed-Spartina stands are insignificant (≪ 1%) global sources of H2S or CS2 and insignificant contributors to the global OCS cycle (〈 1%). These results demonstrate that some marsh regions play a minor role in the global sulfur budget and, consequently, that the inclusion of such areas in extrapolations of measurements of more productive regions could lead to an overestimate of the role of salt water marshes in the global sulfur budget.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes preliminary work toward the develoment of a framework and a system for modeling the “meta-physical” information of mechanical products. Meta-physical information is that information which describes the nature or reason for existence of objects in the physical product model. Such information includes product and feature functionality, design intent, relations, constraints and viewpoint-dependent definitions. This effort has resulted in an initial model structure and a prototype system. The product model consists of a meta-physical product model with attached physical product models containing, among other information, geometry, dimensions, tolerances, and features. The content and structure of the product model correspond directly to the information used and produced during the mechanical design process. The prototype system integrates a solid modeler, a feature modeler, a dimension and tolerance modeler, and a meta-physical modeler. This paper provides an overview of the meta-model structure, usage and potential.

    Notes: Abstract  T-cell receptors (Tcrs) of higher organisms play a key role in the specific recognition of self and non-self molecules in the immune system. The large number of Tcr variable (V) genes have been organized into V gene subfamilies according to their sequence similarity at the nucleotide and amino acid level. We cloned and characterized four new members of the Tcra-V22 gene subfamily at the genomic level using a simple and sensitive technique that can rapidly clone members of any multi-member gene family. Sequence analysis reveals that the four Tcra-V22 gene subfamily members have more than 98% sequence similarity in their coding regions, at the nucleotide and amino acid levels. However, the intron between the leader and the coding region varies up to 7% between members of the Tcra-V22 gene subfamily. Comparison of the multi-member Tcra-V22 gene subfamily with other multi-member Tcra-V gene subfamilies (V2, V8, and V11), shows that Tcra-V22 is unique in that it has multiple members with nearly identical amino acid sequence and which are not inherently pseudogenes. Sequence similarity analysis of the Tcra-V22 subfamily with the prototypes of all other Tcra-V subfamilies revealed that the Tcra-V22 subfamily has the closest sequence similarity to that of Tcra-V18 (77% at the nucleotide level and 71% at the amino acid level).

    Notes: Abstract Immunoglobulins (Ig) have been the focus of extensive study for several decades and have become an important research area for immunologists and molecular biologist. The use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology has accelerated the cloning, sequencing, and characterization of genes of the immune system. However, cloning and sequencing the Ig variable (V) genes using the PCR technology has been a challenging task, primarily due to the very diverse nature of Ig V region genes. We have developed a simple, rapid, and reproducible PCR-based technique to clone any rearranged mouse Ig heavy or light chain genes. A close examination of all Ig heavy and light chain V gene families has resulted in the design of 5′ and 3′ universal primers from regions that are highly conserved across all heavy or light chain V gene families, and the joining or constant regions, respectively. We present our strategy for designing universal primers for Ig V gene families. These primers were able to rapidly amplify the rearranged Ig V genes, belonging to diverse Ig V gene families from very different cell lines, i.e., J558, MOPC-21, 36–60, and a chicken ovalbumin specific B-cell hybridoma. In addition, the present study provides the complete alignment of nucleotide sequences of all heavy and light chain variable gene families. This powerful method of cloning Ig V genes, therefore, allows rapid and precise analysis of B-cell hybridomas, B-cell repertoire, and B-cell ontogeny.

    Notes: Abstract We have studied the restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) found in the germline T-cell receptor genes of 25 inbred Mus musculus strains and 8 wild Mus species. Included in the inbred mice tested were several strains which spontaneously develop systemic autoimmune disease. Extensive polymorphism was evident for the variable (V) gene segments of the α gene family for both the inbred strains and wild mouse species. Changes in the total number of bands hybridizing with probes for V α gene segments suggest that members of a V α gene segment subfamily are not closely linked, but are interspersed with members of other subfamilies; that expansion and contraction of the multimembered subfamilies may be an important diversifying factor. Our data obtained with β gene probes revealed genomic diversity that is much more limited than that seen for the α locus. Analysis of inbred mice with probes for the γ gene locus revealed some RFLPs, but little evidence of expansion or contraction in the numbers of gene segments. Among the autoimmune mice, NZW, NZB, and BXSB/MpJ all display distinctive differences with α gene probes. NZW mice have a large deletion of the β gene family, which has been reported previously. We found no differences to distinguish the MRL/MpJ lpr/lpr mice from non-autoimmune strains.

    Notes: Abstract TheQ genes, specifying Qa antigens and situated in the extended part of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the mouse, comprise a subgroup of MHC class I genes whose significance and function are still largely unknown. In screening a cDNA library made from the BALB/c inducer T-cell line Cl.Ly1-T1, we isolated 11 clones representingQ8/9, but none representingQ6 orQ7. Confirmatory evidence is given that theQ8/9 gene originated from fusion of the 5′ region of theQ8 gene with the 3′ region of theQ9 gene at a recombination site or hot spot in the vicinity of intron 4. Contrary to previous impressions thatQ8/9 is an inert pseudogene, we find that theQ8/9 gene can be functional and encode a Qa-2,3 antigen. One variety of the 11 Q8/9 clones isolated lacked exon 5, which encodes the transmembrane domain of class I glycoproteins, and thus may account for secretion of a soluble form of Qa-2,3 antigen thought to be released by activated T cells.

    Notes: Abstract H-2K antigens from two histocompatibility mutants, M506 (H-2Kfa) and M523 (H-2Kka) and from their parental strains, A.CA (H-2kf) and CBA (H-2Kk), are compared by ion exchange chromatography of tryptic peptides. Both mutant molecules differ from their parental counterparts by only one or two peptides. These results are discussed with reference to the alterations in serological and biological properties exhibited by the two mutations.
