    Notes: We describe a new approach to probe the molecular biology of the living cell that uses small colloidal gold particles coupled to specific ligands. They are visualized in cells by bright-field, video enhanced contrast microscopy. We describe the basic aspects of the technique and provide examples of applications to intracellular motility, cell membrane dynamics, receptor translocation, internalization, and intracellular routing. We also provide examples of the use of this approach in immunospecific labelling of cells and tissue sections.

    Quantitative electromyography of the masticatory muscles of Pteropus giganteus (Megachiroptera) (1988)

    Notes: Mastication has been studied by cinematography and quantitative electromyography while flying foxes, Pteropus giganteus, were freely feeding on standardized pieces of apple, soaked raisin, and banana.The primarily orthal mandibular movements are caused by mainly bilaterally symmetrical firing of all the masticatory muscles. Asymmetric activity in the superficial and deep masseter and medial pterygoid causes slight protrusion early in opening. Slight lateral deviations at the end of opening and at the start of closing are caused by asymmetric and asynchronous activity in the pterygoids and digastrics, and by asynchronous firing of the deep temporalis and zygomaticomandibularis. Food consistency affects movement characteristics as well as characteristics of muscular activity.In this study electromyograms were digitized and the number of spikes and mean amplitude per interval (set by the filming rate) recorded. Although a significant correlation exists between these descriptors, the product thereof appears to be the best predictor of certain kinematic variables (cycle length and maximum excursion of the mandible). On the other hand, the changes in magnitude of muscular activity as a function of the position of a cycle in the reduction sequence and as a function of food consistency are more translated in a variation of the mean amplitude than in a variation of the number of spikes per interval. Observed variation differs among muscles studied. It is most apparent in the superficial and deep masseter and least in the temporalis and zygomaticomandibularis.Late cycles of apple and raisin mastication are long and exhibit large gapes but almost no anterior movement. The adductor activity frequently shows a synchronized, pulsatile pattern leading to an unfused tetanus.

    Epidermal growth factor receptor expression during morphological differentiation of pheochromocytoma cells, induced by nerve growth factor or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1987)

    Notes: Rat pheochromocytoma cells (clone PC12) possess functional surface receptors for both nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). PC12 cells respond to NGF as well as to dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) by arrest of cell proliferation and initiation of morphological differentiation, while EGF acts as a mitogen. Exposure of PC12 cells to NGF for several days resulted in a complete loss of rapid EGF responses, such as membrane ruffling and activation of active K+ transport. EGF binding studies revealed that this loss of EGF responses was due to an almost complete reduction of the number of EGF binding sites. In contrast, exposure of PC12 cells to dbcAMP for 2 days did not affect the rapid EGF responses, despite the morphological differentiation. Moreover, EGF binding studies demonstrated a twofold increase in the number of high-affinity binding sites and a small increase in the number of low-affinity sites. In addition, exposure of the cells to dbcAMP caused a twofold increase of EGF-receptor phosphotyrosine kinase activity. These results indicate that neither EGF-binding or the presence of EGF receptors nor the rapid EGF responses are sufficient for persistent proliferation, on one hand, or sufficient to avoid morphological differentiation, on the other.

    Description / Table of Contents: A Method for the Identification of T-Atom Vacancies in the Lattices of ZeolitesSilanol groups in the lattices of zeolites can be silylated with trimethylchlorosilane and the products can be characterized by means of 29Si (CP) MAS NMR. T-atom vacancies are indicated by the formation of silylation products with three or four siloxy-linkages under mild reaction conditions as this requires the presence of three or silanol groups in favourable geometrical arrangements.
    Notes: Am Beispiel der Zeolithe ZSM-5 und Y wird gezeigt, wie amn Gitter-Leer-stellen in Zeolithen identifizieren kann. Terminale Hydroxylgruppen, die auch Gitter-Leerstellen umgeben, werden dabei mit Trimethylchlorsilan (TCS) silyliert und die Produkte mit 29Si-(CP)-MAS-NMR untersucht. Die Anwesenheit von Gitter-Leerstellen wird angezeigt durch die Bildung von Silylierungsprodukten mit drei oder vier Siloxybindungen, die Insertion des TCS zwischen drei beziehungsweise vier terminalen Hydroxylgruppen im Zeolithgitter unter sehr milden Reaktions bedingungen entstehen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Iminophosphoran-vermittelte Syntheses von mesoionischen 1,3,4- Oxadiazolo[3,2a]pyridinylium-2-aminidenDas Iminophosphoran 2 reagiert mit Methylisocyanat zu dem mesoionischen 1,3,4-Oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinylium-2-methylaminid 3, das durch CF3SO3CH3 zum 1,3,4-Oxadiazolo[3,2-a]-pyridinium-Kation 4 methyliert wird. Struktur 4 wurde durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse gesichert. Durch Einwirkung von Base lagert das mesoionische Aminid 3 zum isomeren mesoionischen 1,3,4-Triazolo[3,2-a]pyridinylium-2-olat 11 um. Verbindung 3 wird durch (Arylimino)triphenylphosphorane in die entsprechenden 1,3,4-Oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium-2-arylaminide 12 umgewandelt, die auch aus Iminophosphoran 2 und Hydroximoylchloriden zugänglich sind.
    Notes: Reaction of iminophosphorane 2 with methyl isocyanate yields the mesoionic 1,3,4-oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinylium-2-methylamindie 3, which undergoes N-methylation with CF3SO3CH3 to give the 1,3,4-oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium cation 4. The structure of compound 4 has been established by means of X-ray crystallography. Mesoionic aminide 3 undergoes rearrangement by the action of base to give the isomeric mesoionic compound 1,3,4-triazolo[3,2-a]pyridinylium-2-olate 11. Compound 3 by the action of (arylimino)triphenylphosphoranes is converted into the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinylium-2-arylaminides 12, which can be also prepared from iminophosphorane 2 and hydroximoyl chlorides.

    Notes: The effects of bovine mammary alpha-lactalbumin on the motility and zona-binding characteristics of mouse sperm were investigated. Two properties of sperm associated with capacitation, hyperactivated motility, and the ability of sperm to bind to the zona pellucida of oocytes were shown to be suppressed by alpha-lactalbumin. These inhibitory effects were not accompanied by changes in the percentage of motile cells or by differences in the velocity parameters of the hyperactivated and non-hyperactivated spermatozoa. Bovine serum albumin prevented and reversed the alpha-lactalbumin-induced suppression of hyperactivation. Sperm-zona pellucida binding was partially restored by lowering the alpha-lactalbumin concentration in the medium in which sperm were allowed to bind to the zona pellucida. The results suggest that mouse sperm are decapacitated by bovine mammary alpha-lactalbumin. The counteracting effect of bovine serum albumin to the suppressive action of alpha-lactalbumin on the flagellum suggests the involvement of a mechanism different from the action of alpha-lactalbumin on the sperm head inhibiting binding to the zona pellucida.

    Notes: In the fully grown Bufo arenarum oocyte, carbohydrate breakdown during the autumn-winter season is accomplished mainly through the glycolytic pathway followed by the krebs cycle. During the breeding season (spring-summer), carbohydrates are used mainly through the pentose phosphate cycle and through the variant of the Krebs cycle known as the glutamic aspartic cycle.The metabolism operating in the oocytes was determined using the following paramenters: 1) the capacity of isolated mitochondria to oxidize citrate and fumarate; 2) the enzymatic activities of phosphofructokinase (PEK) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH); and 3) cirate and ATP compartmentalization.The present paper shows that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) would be one of the factors responsible for summer metabolism, since ovary fractios obtained from winter specimens treated with the hormone acquired the metabolic characteristics corresponding to oocytes obtained from breeding-season animals from dose-response, and response in the function of time curves, it could be assumed that the optimum doses and times were 0.1 μg FSH/ml of incubation medium and 30 min treatment, respecitively.The metabolic effect of FSH upon oocytes could be mediaated by the adenylate cyclase cAMP system, since treatment of ovric fractions with cAMP 10-3 M reproduced the effects obtained with the hormone. In addition, 0.02 mg/ml tetracyline proved to block the effect of FSH. A direct metabolic action of FSH on body cavity oocytes (without follicle cells) was observed when submitting these oocytes to the same hormonal treatment.

    Orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis banding patterns of DNA from yeasts (1986)

    Notes: Chromosomal DNAs from various yeast species were separated by orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). To this end we developed a spheroplasting and lysis method to obtain intact DNA from both ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeasts. The OFAGE banding patterns of 22 ascomycetous and four basidiomycetous yeast strains were compared. The strains represented species from the genera: Brettanomyces, Candida, Croococcus, Filobasidiella, Geotrichum, Hansenula, Kluyveromyces, Pachysolen, Pichia, Rhodosporidium, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces, Saccharomycodes, Saccharomycopis, Schizosaccharomyces and Zygosaccharomyces. Variations occurred in the number of bands and their positions in the gel, not only among strains of different genera but also among species from the same genus and even between varieties of the same species. The ascomycetous yeasts, with the exeption of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, only showed one to five bands of DNA larger than 1000 kilobase pairs (kb) in general none smaller. The paterns of the four basidiomycetous yeasts revealed also a few large DNA bands but in addition one to six bands ranging in size from 500 to 1000 kb, with the exception of a single smaller chromosome in Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. From the OFAGE banding patterns of strains studied here it appears that in Saach. cerevisiae the partitioning of DNA over chromosomes in unique. But rather than the large number of chromosomes, the presence of four chromosomes with less than 500 kb of DNA is characteristic for Sacch. cerevisiae.

    Modulation of nuclear rotation in neuronal interphase nuclei by nerve growth factor, by γ-aminobutyric acid, and by changes in intracellular calcium (1988)

    Notes: Nuclear rotation (NR) is typically measured as motion of nucleoli within nuclei of cells in vitro. This occurs in cycling cells. However, its observation in neurons arrested in interphase indicates that mechanisms related to mitosis are not a prerequisite. We have recently shown that NR occurs in three dimensions within the nuclear space, that it occurs within the space delineated by the outer nuclear membrane and that it includes chromatin domains in addition to nucleoli and have postulated that this motion of chromatin domains is related to changes in gene expression. We now show that exposure of dorsal root, sensory neurons in vitro to nerve growth factor (NGF) or to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), agents which alter gene expression, and to agents causing redistribution of calcium, such as EGTA and the calcium ionophore A23187, significantly alters NR. The NGF increased the mean rate of NR and did so at a time after exposure when activity of RNA polymerases have been shown to rise. Exposure to GABA resulted, within minutes, in shifts of the nucleolus within the three-dimensional space of the nucleus, associated in some neurons with significant, sigmoidal increases in the rate of NR. The calcium ionophore A23187 as well as chelation of extracellular calcium with EGTA similarly increased rates. Importantly, excess calcium, with EGTA remaining present, returned NR of all nucleoli to rates not different from controls. This indicates that the increase in NR seen with EGTA is specific to the chelation of calcium and not a nonspecific response to EGTA. It is difficult to link the action of agents which alter gene expression or transmembrane ion balance with changes in NR. Nevertheless, in support of our hypothesis, the results presented here show that agents known to alter gene expression, alter NR in a temporally coincident manner and that they do so, possibly, by calcium-dependent mechanisms.

    Direct visualization of bipolar myosin filaments in stress fibers of cultured fibroblasts (1989)

    Notes: The authors examined the molecular organization of myosin in stress fibers (microfilament bundles) of cultured mouse embryo fibroblasts. To visualize the organization of myosin filaments in these cells, fibroblast cytoskeletons were treated with gelsolin-like protein from bovine brain (hereafter called brain gelsolin), which selectively disrupts actin filaments. As shown earlier [Verkhovsky et al., 1987], this treatment did not remove myosin from the stress fibers. The actin-free cytoskeletons then were lightly sonicated to loosen the packing of the remaining stress fiber components and fixed with glutaraldehyde.Electron microscopy of platinum replicas of these preparations revealed dumbbell-shaped structures of approximately 0.28 μm in length, which were identified as bipolar myosin filaments by using antibodies to fragments of myosin molecule (subfragment I and light meromyosin) and colloidal gold label. Bipolar filaments of myosin in actin-free cytoskeletons were often organized in chains and lattices formed by end-to-end contacts of individual filaments at their head-containing regions. Therefore, after extraction of actin, it was possible for the first time to display bipolar myosin filaments in the stress fibers of cultured cells.
