    Description: Phosphate-methylated DNA hybridizes strongly and specifically to natural DNA and RNA. Hybridization to single-stranded and double-stranded DNA leads to site-selective blocking of replication and transcription. Phosphate-methylated DNA was used to interrupt the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Both antisense and sense phosphate-methylated DNA 20-nucleotide oligomers, targeted at the transactivator responsive region and the primer binding site, caused complete inhibition of viral infectivity at a low concentration. Hybridization of phosphate-methylated DNA with folded and unfolded RNA was studied by ultraviolet and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The combined results of hybridization studies and biological experiments suggest that the design of effective antisense phosphate-methylated DNA should focus on hairpin loop structures in the viral RNA. For sense systems, the 5' end of the integrated viral genome is considered to be the important target site.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Buck, H M -- Koole, L H -- van Genderen, M H -- Smit, L -- Geelen, J L -- Jurriaans, S -- Goudsmit, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Apr 13;248(4952):208-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Organic Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2326635" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Chronic granulomatous diseases (CGDs) are characterized by recurrent infections resulting from impaired superoxide production by a phagocytic cell, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH) oxidase. Complementary DNAs were cloned that encode the 67-kilodalton (kD) cytosolic oxidase factor (p67), which is deficient in 5% of CGD patients. Recombinant p67 (r-p67) partially restored NADPH oxidase activity to p67-deficient neutrophil cytosol from these patients. The p67 cDNA encodes a 526-amino acid protein with acidic middle and carboxyl-terminal domains that are similar to a sequence motif found in the noncatalytic domain of src-related tyrosine kinases. This motif was recently noted in phospholipase C-gamma, nonerythroid alpha-spectrin (fodrin), p21ras-guanosine triphophatase-activating protein (GAP), myosin-1 isoforms, yeast proteins cdc-25 and fus-1, and the 47-kD phagocyte oxidase factor (p47), which suggests the possibility of common regulatory features.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Leto, T L -- Lomax, K J -- Volpp, B D -- Nunoi, H -- Sechler, J M -- Nauseef, W M -- Clark, R A -- Gallin, J I -- Malech, H L -- I01 BX000513/BX/BLRD VA/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 May 11;248(4956):727-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Clinical Investigation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1692159" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A synthetic peptidemimetic substrate of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) protease with a nonhydrolyzable pseudodipeptidyl insert at the protease cleavage site was prepared. The peptide U-81749 inhibited recombinant HIV-1 protease in vitro (inhibition constant Ki of 70 nanomolar) and HIV-1 replication in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (inhibitory concentration IC50 of 0.1 to 1 micromolar). Moreover, 10 micromolar concentrations of U-81749 significantly inhibited proteolysis of the HIV-1 gag polyprotein (p55) to the mature viral structural proteins p24 and p17 in cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the HIV-1 gag-pol genes. The HIV-1 like particles released from inhibitor-treated cells contained almost exclusively p55 and other gag precursors, but not p24. Incubation of HIV-like particles recovered from drug-treated cultures in drug-free medium indicated that inhibition of p55 proteolysis was at least partially reversible, suggesting that U-81749 was present within the particles.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McQuade, T J -- Tomasselli, A G -- Liu, L -- Karacostas, V -- Moss, B -- Sawyer, T K -- Heinrikson, R L -- Tarpley, W G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Jan 26;247(4941):454-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Infectious Disease Research Unit, Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, MI 49001.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2405486" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormalities in multiple tissues derived from the neural crest. No reliable cellular phenotypic marker has been identified, which has hampered direct efforts to identify the gene. The chromosome location of the NF1 gene has been previously mapped genetically to 17q11.2, and data from two NF1 patients with balanced translocations in this region have further narrowed the candidate interval. The use of chromosome jumping and yeast artificial chromosome technology has now led to the identification of a large (approximately 13 kilobases) ubiquitously expressed transcript (denoted NF1LT) from this region that is definitely interrupted by one and most likely by both translocations. Previously identified candidate genes, which failed to show abnormalities in NF1 patients, are apparently located within introns of NF1LT, on the antisense strand. A new mutation patient with NF1 has been identified with a de novo 0.5-kilobase insertion in the NF1LT gene. These observations, together with the high spontaneous mutation rate of NF1 (which is consistent with a large locus), suggest that NF1LT represents the elusive NF1 gene.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wallace, M R -- Marchuk, D A -- Andersen, L B -- Letcher, R -- Odeh, H M -- Saulino, A M -- Fountain, J W -- Brereton, A -- Nicholson, J -- Mitchell, A L -- NS23410/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Jul 13;249(4965):181-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ann Arbor, MI.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2134734" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A library of human-derived complementary DNA from a human-hamster hybrid cell line containing the Xq24-qter region has been constructed. Complementary DNA synthesis was primed from heterogeneous nuclear (hn) RNA by oligonucleotides derived from conserved regions of human Alu repeats. At least 80% of these cloned sequences were of human origin, providing an enrichment of at least two orders of magnitude. Two clones, one containing a fragment of the primary transcript of the human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene at Xq26 and another recognizing a family of human genes mapping to two regions of Xq24-qter, were characterized. Additional hncDNA clones mapped to a variety of sites in the Xq24-qter region, demonstrating the isolation of many transcriptionally active loci. These clones provide probes for identification of genetic loci on the terminal region of the X chromosome long arm, which is the location of a number of inherited disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Corbo, L -- Maley, J A -- Nelson, D L -- Caskey, C T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Aug 10;249(4969):652-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Molecular Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2382140" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: If genes have been assembled from exon subunits, the frequency with which exons are reused leads to an estimate of the size of the underlying exon universe. An exon database was constructed from available protein sequences, and homologous exons were identified on the basis of amino acid identity; statistically significant matches were determined by Monte Carlo methods. It is estimated that only 1000 to 7000 exons were needed to construct all proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dorit, R L -- Schoenbach, L -- Gilbert, W -- GM37997-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Dec 7;250(4986):1377-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cellular and Developmental Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2255907" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An analysis of five Exosat observations of Cyg X-2, taken around a full binary orbit is presented. The data were obtained using all instrumentation (1000 lines/mm Transmission Grating Spectrometer, Channel Multiplier Array + filters, Medium-Energy experiment, and Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter) simultaneously, and span the full energy range 0.5-20 keV. No clear evidence was found for a correlation of any of the source characteristics with orbital phase. During two of the observations, significant iron K emission at 6.7 keV was detected, the relative strength of which seems to correlate with total X-ray intensity during two sharp intensity dips. The previous detection of discrete emission features in the 12-19 A band with the Einstein grating is confirmed.

    Description: Near-infrared spectroscopy at high altitude and low humidity has been carried out to accurately measure (Ar III) lambda 7136 and (S III) lambda 9069 in the extreme metal-poor dwarf irregular galaxy IZw18. The ratio of the abundance of argon to the abundance of sulfur is within about 0.2 dex of the value for the solar neighborhood. Since n(Ar)/n(S) appears to be a universal constant, the line ratio (AR III) lambda 7136/(S III) lambda 9069 may be a useful diagnostic of temperature in cool, metal-rich HII regions.

    Description: Since stars form in molecular clouds, a critical element in studies of galaxy evolution is knowledge of the molecular content of a large sample of galaxies. To this end, researchers undertook a survey of CO emission from galaxies using the Fire College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) 14-m millimeter telescope at 115 GHz. The aim was to better understand the differences found among and within galaxies with regard to the efficiency of star and cloud formation. The galaxies observed as part of the FCRAO Extragalactic CO Survey were selected on the basis of their optical or infrared properties. The galaxies observed thus far are (1) brighter than B sub T (sub o)=12.5 in the blue, or (2) brighter than 20 Jy at 100 microns. From major axis CO observations at 45 seconds resolution and spacing in over 200 galaxies, researchers determined the CO radial distributions, and derived global CO fluxes (cf. Kenney and Young 1988); H2 masses were derived using the conversion factor N(H2)/I sub CO=2.8 times 10 to the 20th power cm(-2)/K km s(-1)) (Bloemen et al. 1986). Here, researchers concentrate on the global galaxy properties within the sample. Neutral hydrogen (HI) masses for the sample galaxies were taken from Huchtmeier et al. (1983), blue luminosities and morphological types were taken from RC2. IR luminosities, colors, dust temperatures and dust masses were determined from coadded Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) data (Young et al. 1989). They have chosen to first compare absolute luminosities and masses in order to determine the slope and scatter in each correlation; next they investigate luminosity independent ratios in order to intercompare large and small galaxies.

    Description: Cygnus X-2 was observed with Exosat at five phases of a single orbital cycle in September of 1983. The results of spectral fits of the LE + ME (Argon) data are summarized in terms of a superposition of thermal bremsstrahlung and blackbody components. During the first observation, a grating spectrum was obtained, and this is described in some detail. The GSPC data are used to investigate the presence of iron features and their behavior during dips.
