    Description: In situ hybridization was used to assess total amyloid protein precursor (APP) messenger RNA and the subset of APP mRNA containing the Kunitz protease inhibitor (KPI) insert in 11 Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 7 control brains. In AD, a significant twofold increase was observed in total APP mRNA in nucleus basalis and locus ceruleus neurons but not in hippocampal subicular neurons, neurons of the basis pontis, or occipital cortical neurons. The increase in total APP mRNA in locus ceruleus and nucleus basalis neurons was due exclusively to an increase in APP mRNA lacking the KPI domain. These findings suggest that increased production of APP lacking the KPI domain in nucleus basalis and locus ceruleus neurons may play an important role in the deposition of cerebral amyloid that occurs in AD.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Palmert, M R -- Golde, T E -- Cohen, M L -- Kovacs, D M -- Tanzi, R E -- Gusella, J F -- Usiak, M F -- Younkin, L H -- Younkin, S G -- 5T32GM07250/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- AG06656/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- MH43444/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 26;241(4869):1080-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neuropathology, Case Western Reserve University, School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH 44106.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2457949" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: By means of a selective DNA amplification technique called polymerase chain reaction, proviral sequences of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) were identified directly in DNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of persons seropositive but not in DNA isolated from PBMCs of persons seronegative for the virus. Primer pairs from multiple regions of the HIV-1 genome were used to achieve maximum sensitivity of provirus detection. HIV-1 sequences were detected in 100% of DNA specimens from seropositive, homosexual men from whom the virus was isolated by coculture, but in none of the DNA specimens from a control group of seronegative, virus culture-negative persons. However, HIV-1 sequences were detected in 64% of DNA specimens from seropositive, virus culture-negative homosexual men. This method of DNA amplification made it possible to obtain results within 3 days, whereas virus isolation takes up to 3 to 4 weeks. The method may therefore be used to complement or replace virus isolation as a routine means of determining HIV-1 infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ou, C Y -- Kwok, S -- Mitchell, S W -- Mack, D H -- Sninsky, J J -- Krebs, J W -- Feorino, P -- Warfield, D -- Schochetman, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 15;239(4837):295-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA 30333.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3336784" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Odorant-binding protein (OBP) is found in nasal epithelium, and it selectively binds odorants. Three complementary DNAs encoding rat odorant-binding protein have now been cloned and sequenced. One clone contains an open reading frame predicted to encode an 18,091-dalton protein. RNA blot analysis confirms the localization of OBP messenger RNA in the nasal epithelium. This OBP has 33 percent amino acid identity to alpha 2-microglobulin, a secreted plasma protein. Other members of an alpha 2-microglobulin superfamily bind and transport hydrophobic ligands. Thus, OBP probably binds and carries odorants within the nasal epithelium to putative olfactory receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pevsner, J -- Reed, R R -- Feinstein, P G -- Snyder, S H -- DA-00074/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- GM-07626/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA16519-13/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 15;241(4863):336-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuroscience, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3388043" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Synthesis of a small group of highly conserved proteins in response to elevated temperature and other agents that induce stress is a universal feature of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Although correlative evidence suggests that these proteins play a role in enhancing survival during and after stress, there is no direct evidence to support this in mammalian cells. To assess the role of the most highly conserved heat shock protein (hsp) family during heat shock, affinity-purified monoclonal antibodies to hsp70 were introduced into fibroblasts by needle microinjection. In addition to impairing the heat-induced translocation of hsp70 proteins into the nucleus after mild heat shock treatment, injected cells were unable to survive a brief incubation at 45 degrees C. Cells injected with control antibodies survived a similar heat shock. These results indicate that functional hsp70 is required for survival of these cells during and after thermal stress.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Riabowol, K T -- Mizzen, L A -- Welch, W J -- GM33551/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 21;242(4877):433-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY 11724.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3175665" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fibroblasts were genetically modified to secrete nerve growth factor (NGF) by infection with a retroviral vector and then implanted into the brains of rats that had surgical lesions of the fimbria-fornix. The grafted cells survived and produced sufficient NGF to prevent the degeneration of cholinergic neurons that would die without treatment. In addition, the protected cholinergic cells sprouted axons that projected in the direction of the cellular source of NGF. These results indicate that a combination of gene transfer and intracerebral grafting may provide an effective treatment for some disorders of the central nervous system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rosenberg, M B -- Friedmann, T -- Robertson, R C -- Tuszynski, M -- Wolff, J A -- Breakefield, X O -- Gage, F H -- AG06088/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- HD20034/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS24279/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 16;242(4885):1575-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatrics, University of California School of Medicine, La Jolla 92093.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201248" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The proto-oncogene c-fos is expressed in neurons in response to direct stimulation by growth factors and neurotransmitters. In order to determine whether the c-fos protein (Fos) and Fos-related proteins can be induced in response to polysynaptic activation, rat hindlimb motor/sensory cortex was stimulated electrically and Fos expression examined immunohistochemically. Three hours after the onset of stimulation, focal nuclear Fos staining was seen in motor and sensory thalamus, pontine nuclei, globus pallidus, and cerebellum. Moreover, 24-hour water deprivation resulted in Fos expression in paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei. Fos immunohistochemistry therefore provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sagar, S M -- Sharp, F R -- Curran, T -- EY05721/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- NS24666/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 3;240(4857):1328-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3131879" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Strong steric interactions among proteins on crowded living cell surfaces were revealed by measurements of the equilibrium spatial distributions of proteins in applied potential gradients. The fraction of accessible surface occupied by mobile surface proteins can be accurately represented by including steric exclusion in the statistical thermodynamic analysis of the data. The analyses revealed enhanced, concentration-dependent activity coefficients, implying unanticipated thermodynamic activity even at typical cell surface receptor concentrations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ryan, T A -- Myers, J -- Holowka, D -- Baird, B -- Webb, W W -- AI18306/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI22449/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM33028/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 1;239(4835):61-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2962287" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In mammalian cells, the glucocorticoid receptor binds specifically to glucocorticoid response element (GRE) DNA sequences and enhances transcription from linked promoters. It is shown here that derivatives of the glucocorticoid receptor also enhance transcription when expressed in yeast. Receptor-mediated enhancement in yeast was observed in fusions of GRE sequences to the yeast cytochrome c1 (CYC1) promoter; the CYC1 upstream activator sequences were not essential, since enhancement was observed in fusions of GREs to mutant CYC1 promoters retaining only the TATA region and transcription startpoints. It is concluded that the receptor operates by a common, highly conserved mechanism in yeast and mammalian cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schena, M -- Yamamoto, K R -- CA20535-12/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 19;241(4868):965-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3043665" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The inheritance of particular alleles of major histocompatibility complex class II genes increases the risk for various human autoimmune diseases; however, only a small percentage of individuals having an allele associated with susceptibility develop disease. The identification of allelic variants more precisely correlated with disease susceptibility would greatly facilitate clinical screening and diagnosis. Oligonucleotide-primed gene amplification in vitro was used to determine the nucleotide sequence of a class II variant found almost exclusively in patients with the autoimmune skin disease pemphigus vulgaris. In addition to clinical implications, the disease-restricted distribution of this variant should provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying associations between diseases and HLA-class II genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sinha, A A -- Brautbar, C -- Szafer, F -- Friedmann, A -- Tzfoni, E -- Todd, J A -- Steinman, L -- McDevitt, H O -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Feb 26;239(4843):1026-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Microbiology, Stanford University, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2894075" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cell types associated with angiotensinogen mRNA in rat brain were identified in individual brain sections by in situ hybridization with tritiated RNA probes or with a sulfur-35--labeled oligonucleotide combined with immunocytochemical detection of either glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) for astrocytes or microtubule-associated protein (MAP-2) for neurons. Autoradiography revealed silver grains clustered primarily over GFAP-reactive soma and processes; most grain clusters were not associated with MAP-2--reactive cells. These results demonstrate that, in contrast to other known neuropeptide precursors, angiotensinogen is synthesized by glia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stornetta, R L -- Hawelu-Johnson, C L -- Guyenet, P G -- Lynch, K R -- R01 HL33513/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 9;242(4884):1444-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville 22908.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201232" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Primary mouse oocytes contain untranslated stable messenger RNA for tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). During meiotic maturation, this maternal mRNA undergoes a 3'-polyadenylation, is translated, and is degraded. Injections of maturing oocytes with different antisense RNA's complementary to both coding and noncoding portions of t-PA mRNA all selectively blocked t-PA synthesis. RNA blot analysis of t-PA mRNA in injected, matured oocytes suggested a cleavage of the RNA.RNA hybrid region, yielding a stable 5' portion, and an unstable 3' portion. In primary oocytes, the 3' noncoding region was susceptible to cleavage, while the other portions of the mRNA were blocked from hybrid formation until maturation occurred. Injection of antisense RNA complementary to 103 nucleotides of its extreme 3' untranslated region was sufficient to prevent the polyadenylation, translational activation, and destabilization of t-PA mRNA. These results demonstrate a critical role for the 3' noncoding region of a dormant mRNA in its translational recruitment during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Strickland, S -- Huarte, J -- Belin, D -- Vassalli, A -- Rickles, R J -- Vassalli, J D -- HD-17875/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 5;241(4866):680-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Histology and Embryology, University of Geneva Medical School, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2456615" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Retroviruses contain two copies of the plus stranded viral RNA genome. As a means of determining whether both of these RNA's are used in the reverse transcription reaction, cells were infected with heterozygous virus particles that varied in nucleotide sequence at two separate locations at the RNA termini. The DNA proviruses formed from a single cycle of reverse transcription were then examined. Of the 12 proviruses that were characterized, all exhibited long terminal repeats (LTR's) that would be expected to arise only if both RNA templates were used for the generation of minus strand DNA. In contrast, only a single minus strand DNA appeared to be used as template for the plus strand DNA in the generation of fully double-stranded viral DNA. These results indicate that the first strand transfer step in reverse transcription is an intermolecular event while that of the second transfer is intramolecular. Thus, retroviruses contain two functionally active RNA's, and both may be required for the generation of a single linear DNA molecule. Formation of heterozygotes during retrovirus infection would be expected to result in the efficient generation of LTR recombinants.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Panganiban, A T -- Fiore, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 26;241(4869):1064-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, University of Wisconsin, Madison 53706.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2457948" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Abnormal functional activity induces long-lasting physiological alterations in neural pathways that may play a role in the development of epilepsy. The cellular mechanisms of these alterations are not well understood. One hypothesis is that abnormal activity causes structural reorganization of neural pathways and promotes epileptogenesis. This report provides morphological evidence that synchronous perforant path activation and kindling of limbic pathways induce axonal growth and synaptic reorganization in the hippocampus, in the absence of overt morphological damage. The results show a previously unrecognized anatomic plasticity associated with synchronous activity and development of epileptic seizures in neural pathways.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sutula, T -- He, X X -- Cavazos, J -- Scott, G -- K07-NS00808/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R29-NS25020/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 4;239(4844):1147-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, University of Wisconsin, Madison 53792.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2449733" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The cloned complementary DNA encodes a novel membrane protein that consists of 130 amino acids with a single putative transmembrane domain. This protein differs from the known ion channel proteins but is involved in the induction of selective permeation of potassium ions by membrane depolarization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Takumi, T -- Ohkubo, H -- Nakanishi, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 18;242(4881):1042-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Immunology, Kyoto University Faculty of Medicine, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3194754" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Structural changes of the human retinoblastoma gene have been demonstrated previously in retinoblastoma and some clinically related tumors including osteosarcoma. Structural aberrations of the retinoblastoma locus (RB1) were observed in 25% of breast tumor cell lines studied and 7% of the primary tumors. These changes include homozygous internal deletions and total deletion of RB1; a duplication of an exon was observed in one of the cell lines. In all cases, structural changes either resulted in the absence or truncation of the RB1 transcript. No obvious defect in RB1 was detected by DNA blot analysis in primary tumors or cell lines from Wilms' tumor, cervical carcinoma, or hepatoma. These results further support the concept that the human RB1 gene has pleiotropic effects on specific types of cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉T'Ang, A -- Varley, J M -- Chakraborty, S -- Murphree, A L -- Fung, Y K -- CA44754/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 14;242(4876):263-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematology/Oncology, Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, CA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3175651" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Daily variation has been found in the length of the polyadenylate tail attached to vasopressin messenger RNA in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, which is the location of an endogenous circadian pacemaker in mammals. No such variation was found in the supraoptic or paraventricular nuclei. This variation in the length of the polyadenylate tail may underlie the circadian rhythm of vasopressin peptide levels in cerebrospinal fluid and is a unique example of a daily rhythm in messenger RNA structure.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Robinson, B G -- Frim, D M -- Schwartz, W J -- Majzoub, J A -- 1P50HL36568/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01NS24542/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 15;241(4863):342-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3388044" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A technique, in situ transcription, is described, in which reverse transcription of mRNAs is achieved within fixed tissue sections. An oligonucleotide complementary to proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA was used as a primer for the specific synthesis of radiolabeled POMC cDNA in fixed sections of rat pituitary, thus permitting the rapid anatomical localization of POMC mRNA by autoradiography. Intermediate lobe signal intensities were sensitive to dopaminergic drugs, demonstrating that the method can be used for studies of mRNA regulation. The transcripts may also be eluted from tissue sections for a variety of uses, including the identification and cloning of autoradiographically localized cDNAs from small amounts of tissue.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tecott, L H -- Barchas, J D -- Eberwine, J H -- DA-05010/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- MH-23861/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH09099/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 17;240(4859):1661-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Nancy Pritzker Laboratory of Behavioral Neurochemistry, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2454508" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The imaging of phosphorescence provides a method for monitoring oxygen distribution within the vascular system of intact tissues. Isolated rat lives were perfused through the portal vein with media containing palladium coproporphyrin, which phosphoresced and was used to image the liver at various perfusion rates. Because oxygen is a powerful quenching agent for phosphors, the transition from well-perfused liver to anoxia (no flow of oxygen) resulted in large increases of phosphorescence. During stepwise restoration of oxygen flow, the phosphorescence images showed marked heterogeneous patterns of tissue reoxygenation, which indicated that there were regional inequalities in oxygen delivery.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rumsey, W L -- Vanderkooi, J M -- Wilson, D F -- GM 21524/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 36393/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 23;241(4873):1649-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia 19104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3420417" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: When two different mammalian cell types are fused to generate a stable hybrid cell line, genes that are active in only one of the parents are frequently shut off, a phenomenon called extinction. In this study two distinct, complementary mechanisms for such extinction of growth hormone gene expression were identified. In hybrids formed by fusing fibroblasts to pituitary cells, pituitary-specific proteins that bind to the growth hormone promoter were absent. In addition, a negative regulatory element located near the rat growth hormone promoter was specifically activated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tripputi, P -- Guerin, S L -- Moore, D D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 2;241(4870):1205-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2842865" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Potassium channels in neurons are linked by guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins to numerous neurotransmitter receptors. The ability of Go, the predominant G protein in the brain, to stimulate potassium channels was tested in cell-free membrane patches of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Four distinct types of potassium channels, which were otherwise quiescent, were activated by both isolated brain G0 and recombinant Go alpha. Hence brain Go can couple diverse brain potassium channels to neurotransmitter receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉VanDongen, A M -- Codina, J -- Olate, J -- Mattera, R -- Joho, R -- Birnbaumer, L -- Brown, A M -- DK-19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL-31154/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-37044/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 9;242(4884):1433-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3144040" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Antibodies directed against a conserved intracellular segment of the sodium channel alpha subunit slow the inactivation of sodium channels in rat muscle cells. Of four site-directed antibodies tested, only antibodies against the short intracellular segment between homologous transmembrane domains III and IV slowed inactivation, and their effects were blocked by the corresponding peptide antigen. No effects on the voltage dependence of sodium channel activation or of steady-state inactivation were observed, but the rate of onset of the antibody effect and the extent of slowing of inactivation were voltage-dependent. Antibody binding was more rapid at negative potentials, at which sodium channels are not inactivated; antibody-induced slowing of inactivation was greater during depolarizations to more positive membrane potentials. The peptide segment recognized by this antibody appears to participate directly in rapid sodium channel inactivation during large depolarizations and to undergo a conformational change that reduces its accessibility to antibodies as the channel inactivates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vassilev, P M -- Scheuer, T -- Catterall, W A -- NS 15751/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 23;241(4873):1658-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of Washington, School of Medicine, Seattle 98195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2458625" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The ras p21 GTPase-activating protein (GAP) was purified from human placental tissue. Internal amino acid sequence was obtained from this 120,000-dalton protein and, by means of this sequence, two types of complementary DNA clones were isolated and characterized. One type encoded GAP with a predicted molecular mass of 116,000 daltons and 96% identity with bovine GAP. The messenger RNA of this GAP was detected in human lung, brain, liver, leukocytes, and placenta. The second type appeared to be generated by a differential splicing mechanism and encoded a novel form of GAP with a predicted molecular mass of 100,400 daltons. This protein lacks the hydrophobic amino terminus characteristic of the larger species, but retains GAP activity. The messenger RNA of this type was abundantly expressed in placenta and in several human cell lines, but not in adult tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Trahey, M -- Wong, G -- Halenbeck, R -- Rubinfeld, B -- Martin, G A -- Ladner, M -- Long, C M -- Crosier, W J -- Watt, K -- Koths, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1697-700.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Cetus Corp., Emeryville, CA 94608.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201259" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Unequal crossing-over within a head-to-tail tandem array of the homologous red and green visual pigment genes has been proposed to explain the observed variation in green-pigment gene number among individuals and the prevalence of red-green fusion genes among color-blind subjects. This model was tested by probing the structure of the red and green pigment loci with long-range physical mapping techniques. The loci were found to constitute a gene array with an approximately 39-kilobase repeat length. The position of the red pigment gene at the 5' edge of the array explains its lack of variation in copy number. Restriction maps of the array in four individuals who differ in gene number are consistent with a head-to-tail configuration of the genes. These results provide physical evidence in support of the model and help to explain the high incidence of color blindness in the human population.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vollrath, D -- Nathans, J -- Davis, R W -- GM21891/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 17;240(4859):1669-72.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2837827" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Biochemical and electrophysiological studies suggest that adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent phosphorylation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel is functionally significant because it modifies the receptor's rate of desensitization to acetylcholine. In studies that support this conclusion researchers have used forskolin to stimulate cAMP-dependent phosphorylation in intact muscle. It is now shown that although forskolin facilitated desensitization in voltage-clamped rat muscle, this effect was not correlated with the abilities of forskolin and forskolin analogs to activate adenylate cyclase or phosphorylate the receptor. Furthermore, elevation of intracellular cAMP or addition of the catalytic subunit of A-kinase failed to alter desensitization. Therefore, in intact skeletal muscle, cAMP-dependent phosphorylation does not modulate desensitization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wagoner, P K -- Pallotta, B S -- GM32211/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 17;240(4859):1655-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Glaxo Research Laboratories, Chapel Hill, NC 27599.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2454507" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A new type of agonist-binding subunit of rat neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) was identified. Rat genomic DNA and complementary DNA encoding this subunit (alpha 2) were cloned and analyzed. Complementary DNA expression studies in Xenopus oocytes revealed that the injection of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for alpha 2 and beta 2 (a neuronal nAChR subunit) led to the generation of a functional nAChR. In contrast to the other known neuronal nAChRs, the receptor produced by the injection of alpha 2 and beta 2 mRNAs was resistant to the alpha-neurotoxin Bgt3.1. In situ hybridization histochemistry showed that alpha 2 mRNA was expressed in a small number of regions, in contrast to the wide distribution of the other known agonist-binding subunits (alpha 3 and alpha 4) mRNAs. These results demonstrate that the alpha 2 subunit differs from other known agonist-binding alpha-subunits of nAChRs in its distribution in the brain and in its pharmacology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wada, K -- Ballivet, M -- Boulter, J -- Connolly, J -- Wada, E -- Deneris, E S -- Swanson, L W -- Heinemann, S -- Patrick, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Apr 15;240(4850):330-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, CA 92138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2832952" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mammalian cerebral cortex is organized into columns of cells with common functional properties. During embryogenesis, cortical neurons are formed deep, near the lateral ventricles, and migrate radially to their final position. This observation led to the suggestion that the cortex consists of radial, ontogenetic units of clonally related neurons. In the experiments reported here, this hypothesis was tested by studying cell lineage in the rat cortex with a retroviral vector carrying the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase gene, which can be easily visualized. Labeled, clonally related cortical neurons did not occur in simple columnar arrays. Instead, clonally related neurons entered several different radial columns, apparently by migrating along different radial glial fibers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walsh, C -- Cepko, C L -- EY07331-01/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS 23021-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 9;241(4871):1342-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3137660" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (subtype M3) is characterized by malignant promyelocytes exhibiting an abundance of abnormally large or aberrant primary granules. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of these azurophilic granules, as assessed by cytochemical staining, is unusually intense. In addition, M3 is universally associated with a chromosomal translocation, t(15;17)(q22;q11.2). In this report, the MPO gene was localized to human chromosome 17 (q12-q21), the region of the breakpoint on chromosome 17 in the t(15;17), by somatic cell hybrid analysis and in situ chromosomal hybridization. By means of MPO complementary DNA clones for in situ hybridization and Southern blot analysis, the effect of this specific translocation on the MPO gene was examined. In all cases of M3 examined, MPO is translocated to chromosome 15. Genomic blot analyses indicate rearrangement of MPO in leukemia cells of two of four cases examined. These findings suggest that MPO may be pivotal in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukemia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weil, S C -- Rosner, G L -- Reid, M S -- Chisholm, R L -- Lemons, R S -- Swanson, M S -- Carrino, J J -- Diaz, M O -- Le Beau, M M -- 1R01 CA44475/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA09273/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA16910/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 May 6;240(4853):790-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Northwestern University Medical Center, Chicago, IL 60611.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2896388" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Behavioral studies have suggested that muscarinic cholinergic systems have an important role in learning and memory. A muscarinic cholinergic agonist is now shown to affect synaptic plasticity in the CA3 region of the hippocampal slice. Long-term potentiation (LTP) of the mossy fiber-CA3 synapse was blocked by muscarine. Low concentrations of muscarine (1 micromolar) had little effect on low-frequency (0.2 hertz) synaptic stimulation but did significantly reduce the magnitude and probability of induction of LTP. Experiments under voltage clamp showed that muscarine blocked the increase in excitatory synaptic conductance normally associated with LTP at this synapse. These results suggest a possible role for cholinergic systems in synaptic plasticity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Williams, S -- Johnston, D -- HL31164/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS11535/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 7;242(4875):84-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2845578" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A central hypothesis in transplantation biology is that resident leukocytes expressing class II histocompatibility antigens may determine the immunogenicity of an organ. By means of a novel method to deplete the kidney of resident leukocytes, essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), this hypothesis was tested in an intact, vascular organ. Kidneys subjected to EFAD and thus depleted of resident Ia-positive macrophages survived and functioned when transplanted across a major histocompatibility antigen barrier in the absence of immunosuppression of the recipient. Control allografts were rejected promptly. Allografts from donors subjected to EFAD normalized their lipid composition and were repopulated with host macrophages by 5 days. Administration of Ia-positive cells at the time of transplantation established that the resident leukocyte depletion induced by EFAD was responsible for the protective effect. These observations may provide insights into the mechanisms underlying tissue immunogenicity and the population of normal tissues with resident leukocytes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schreiner, G F -- Flye, W -- Brunt, E -- Korber, K -- Lefkowith, J B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 May 20;240(4855):1032-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3285468" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The amyloid beta protein peptide is a major constituent of amyloid plaque cores in Alzheimer's disease and is apparently derived from a higher molecular weight precursor. It is now shown that the core protein of a heparan sulfate proteoglycan secreted from a nerve cell line (PC12) has an amino acid sequence and a size very similar to those of the amyloid beta protein precursor and that these molecules are antigenically related. This amyloid beta protein precursor-related protein is not found in the conditioned medium of a variant cell line (F3 PC12) that does not secrete heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The synaptic localization and metabolism of this class of proteoglycans are consistent with its potential involvement in central nervous system dysfunction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schubert, D -- Schroeder, R -- LaCorbiere, M -- Saitoh, T -- Cole, G -- AG 05131/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F2 AG 05424A/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- NS 09658/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 8;241(4862):223-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, CA 92138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2968652" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A point mutation in the human insulin receptor gene in a patient with type A insulin resistance alters the amino acid sequence within the tetrabasic processing site of the proreceptor molecule from Arg-Lys-Arg-Arg to Arg-Lys-Arg-Ser. Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphocytes from this patient synthesize an insulin receptor precursor that is normally glycosylated and inserted into the plasma membrane but is not cleaved to mature alpha and beta subunits. Insulin binding to these cells is severely reduced but can be increased about fivefold by gentle treatment with trypsin, accompanied by the appearance of normal alpha subunits. These results indicate that proteolysis of the proreceptor is necessary for its normal full insulin-binding sensitivity and signal-transducing activity and that a cellular protease that is more stringent in its specificity than trypsin is required to process the receptor precursor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yoshimasa, Y -- Seino, S -- Whittaker, J -- Kakehi, T -- Kosaki, A -- Kuzuya, H -- Imura, H -- Bell, G I -- Steiner, D F -- AM 13914/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- AM 20595/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 May 6;240(4853):784-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chicago, IL 60637.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3283938" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: These studies were set up to determine whether those oncogenes participating in the initiation of mammary carcinogenesis (for example, ras oncogenes) play a direct role in the outcome of events associated with the late stages of tumor development such as loss of hormone dependency. Mammary carcinomas induced by a single carcinogenic insult in pubescent rats was selected as an in vivo model system with direct relevance to human breast cancer. Acquisition of hormone-independent growth in these carcinogen-induced tumors was found to be independent of the activation of ras oncogenes during the early stages of carcinogenesis. In agreement with these observations, introduction of a human ras oncogene into human MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells did not abrogate their hormonal dependency for growth in vivo. These findings suggest that those events responsible for the critical stages of breast cancer development occur independently and in an uncoordinated manner.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sukumar, S -- Carney, W P -- Barbacid, M -- N01-CO-74101/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Apr 22;240(4851):524-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Developmental Oncology Section, Basic Research Program, Frederick Cancer Research Facility, MD 21701.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3282307" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A karyotypic analysis was performed on seven independently derived clones of primary rat embryo cells transformed by the ras oncogene plus the cooperating oncogene myc. The transfected oncogenes were sometimes present in amplified copy number, with heterogeneity in the levels of amplification. Some chromosomal features, such as aberrantly banding regions and double-minute chromosomes, typical of cells carrying amplified genes, were also seen in three of the seven cell lines. Underlying this heterogeneity there was an unexpected finding. All seven lines showed a common integration site for ras on the q arm of rat chromosome 3 (3q12), though some lines also had other sites of integration. In four of the lines integration of ras was accompanied by deletion of the p arm of chromosome 3 or its possible translocation to chromosome 12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McKenna, W G -- Nakahara, K -- Muschel, R J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 9;241(4871):1325-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia 19104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3045971" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Suspensions of thymocytes from young rats were incubated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), which resulted in a sustained increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration followed by DNA fragmentation and loss of cell viability. Both the Ca2+ increase and DNA fragmentation were prevented in cells treated with the inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide, and DNA fragmentation and cell killing were not detected when cells were incubated in a "Ca2+-free" medium or pretreated with high concentrations of the calcium probe, quin-2 tetraacetoxymethyl ester. These results indicate that TCDD can kill immature thymocytes by initiating a suicide process similar to that previously described for glucocorticoid hormones.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McConkey, D J -- Hartzell, P -- Duddy, S K -- Hakansson, H -- Orrenius, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 14;242(4876):256-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Toxicology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3262923" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In rats, an environmental manipulation occurring early in life resulted in changes in the adrenocortical axis that persisted throughout the entire life of the animals and attenuated certain deficits associated with aging. Rats handled during infancy had a permanent increase in concentrations of receptors for glucocorticoids in the hippocampus, a critical region in the negative-feedback inhibition of adrenocortical activity. Increased receptor concentrations led to greater hippocampal sensitivity to glucocorticoids and enhanced negative-feedback efficacy in the handled rats. Thus, at all ages tested, rats that were not handled secreted more glucocorticoids in response to stress than did handled rats. At later ages, nonhandled rats also showed elevated basal glucocorticoid levels, with the result that there was a greater cumulative exposure to glucocorticoids in nonhandled rats. Increased exposure to adrenal glucocorticoids can accelerate hippocampal neuron loss and cognitive impairments in aging. Hippocampal cell loss and pronounced spatial memory deficits emerged with age in the nonhandled rats, but were almost absent in the handled rats. Previous work showed that glucocorticoid hypersecretion, hippocampal neuron death, and cognitive impairments form a complex degenerative cascade of aging in the rat. The present study shows that a subtle manipulation early in life can retard the emergence of this cascade.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meaney, M J -- Aitken, D H -- van Berkel, C -- Bhatnagar, S -- Sapolsky, R M -- AG-06633/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Feb 12;239(4841 Pt 1):766-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3340858" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transcription of zygotic genes does not occur in early Xenopus embryos until the mid-blastula transition, 6 to 7 hours after fertilization. Before this time, development is directed by maternal proteins and messenger RNAs stored within the egg. Two different forms of the A chain of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are shown here to be encoded by maternal messenger RNAs. The two forms closely resemble human PDGF; however, the long form contains a hydrophobic region near the carboxyl terminus. The presence of PDGF messenger RNA in the embryo supports the idea that endogenous growth factors act at the earliest stages of embryogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mercola, M -- Melton, D A -- Stiles, C D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 2;241(4870):1223-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3413486" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The kinetics of calcium release by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in permeabilized rat basophilic leukemia cells were studied to obtain insight into the molecular mechanism of action of this intracellular messenger of the phosphoinositide cascade. Calcium release from intracellular storage sites was monitored with fura-2, a fluorescent indicator. The dependence of the rate of calcium release on the concentration of added IP3 in the 4 to 40 nM range showed that channel opening requires the binding of at least three molecules of IP3. Channel opening occurred in the absence of added adenosine triphosphate, indicating that IP3 acts directly on the channel or on a protein that gates it. The channels were opened by IP3 in less than 4 seconds. The highly cooperative opening of calcium channels by nanomolar concentrations of IP3 enables cells to detect and amplify very small changes in the concentration of this messenger in response to hormonal, sensory, and growth control stimuli.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meyer, T -- Holowka, D -- Stryer, L -- AI22449/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM24032/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM30387/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Apr 29;240(4852):653-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Sherman Fairchild Center, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2452482" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The specificity of complex formation between cytochrome b5 (cyt b5) and cytochrome c (cyt c) is believed to involve the formation of salt linkages between specific carboxylic acid residues of cyt b5 with lysine residues on cyt c. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to alter the specified acidic residues of cyt b5 to the corresponding amide analogues, which resulted in a lower affinity for complex formation with cyt c. The dissociation of the complex under high pressure resulted in specific volume changes, the magnitude of which reflected the degree of solvation of the acidic residues in the proposed protein-protein interface.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rodgers, K K -- Pochapsky, T C -- Sligar, S G -- GM 31756/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 33775/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 17;240(4859):1657-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, University of Illinois, Urbana 61801.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2837825" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A survey of rat tissues by RNA analysis, aimed at uncovering the physiological function of the parathyroid hormone-like peptide (PTH-LP) associated with hypercalcemia of malignancy, revealed the presence of a 1.5-kilobase messenger RNA encoding this peptide in lactating mammary glands. PTH-LP messenger RNA is expressed in mammary tissue only during lactation; it appears and disappears rapidly (2 to 4 hours) as a function of the sucking stimulus. The identity of this messenger RNA was confirmed by cloning the rat PTH-LP complementary DNA, which predicts a peptide with strong similarity to the human homolog. Moreover, extracts from lactating mammary tissue stimulated parathyroid hormone-dependent adenylate cyclase. These findings suggest that PTH-LP plays a physiological role in lactation, possibly as a hormone for the mobilization or transfer (or both) of calcium to the milk.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thiede, M A -- Rodan, G A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 14;242(4876):278-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Bone Biology and Osteoporosis Research, Merck Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories, West Point, PA 19486.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3175653" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A thermostable DNA polymerase was used in an in vitro DNA amplification procedure, the polymerase chain reaction. The enzyme, isolated from Thermus aquaticus, greatly simplifies the procedure and, by enabling the amplification reaction to be performed at higher temperatures, significantly improves the specificity, yield, sensitivity, and length of products that can be amplified. Single-copy genomic sequences were amplified by a factor of more than 10 million with very high specificity, and DNA segments up to 2000 base pairs were readily amplified. In addition, the method was used to amplify and detect a target DNA molecule present only once in a sample of 10(5) cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Saiki, R K -- Gelfand, D H -- Stoffel, S -- Scharf, S J -- Higuchi, R -- Horn, G T -- Mullis, K B -- Erlich, H A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 29;239(4839):487-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cetus Corporation, Department of Human Genetics, Emeryville, CA 94608.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2448875" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: SCID-hu mice with human fetal thymic or lymph node implants were inoculated with the cloned human immunodeficiency virus-1 isolate, HIV-1JR-CSF. In a time- and dose-dependent fashion, viral replication spread within the human lymphoid organs. Combination immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization revealed only viral RNA transcripts in most infected cells, but some cells had both detectable viral transcripts and viral protein. Infected cells were always more apparent in the medulla than in the cortex of the thymus. These studies demonstrate that an acute infection of human lymphoid organs with HIV-1 can be followed in the SCID-hu mouse.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Namikawa, R -- Kaneshima, H -- Lieberman, M -- Weissman, I L -- McCune, J M -- AR5P40RR03624-029/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- CA03352/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1684-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201256" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In the anterior pituitary gland, there are five phenotypically distinct cell types, including cells that produce either prolactin (lactotrophs) or growth hormone (somatotrophs). Multiple, related cis-active elements that exhibit synergistic interactions appear to be the critical determinants of the transcriptional activation of the rat prolactin and growth hormone genes. A common positive tissue-specific transcription factor, referred to as Pit-1, appears to bind to all the cell-specific elements in each gene and to be required for the activation of both the prolactin and growth hormone genes. The data suggest that, in the course of development, a single tissue-specific factor activates sets of genes that ultimately exhibit restricted cell-specific expression and define cellular phenotype.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nelson, C -- Albert, V R -- Elsholtz, H P -- Lu, L I -- Rosenfeld, M G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 18;239(4846):1400-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Eukaryotic Regulatory Biology Program, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine 92093.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2831625" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Angiogenesis is an important component of organogenesis and wound repair and occurs during the pathology of oncogenesis, atherogenesis, and other disease processes. Thus, it is important to understand the physiological mechanisms that control neovascularization, especially with methods that permit the molecular dissection of the phenomenon in vivo. Heparin-binding growth factor-1 was shown to bind to collagen type I and type IV. When complexed with gelatin, heparin-binding growth factor-1 can induce neovascularization at polypeptide concentrations that are consistent with the biological activity of the mitogen in vitro. The adsorption strategy induces rapid blood vessel formation at and between organ- and tissue-specific sites and permits recovery of the site-specific implant for examination and manipulation by molecular methods.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thompson, J A -- Anderson, K D -- DiPietro, J M -- Zwiebel, J A -- Zametta, M -- Anderson, W F -- Maciag, T -- HL32348/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL35627/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 9;241(4871):1349-52.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Hematology, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2457952" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Human T cell leukemia viruses (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) can infect many cell types in vitro. HTLV-I and HTLV-II use the same cell surface receptor, as shown by interference with syncytium formation and with infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotypes bearing the HTLV envelope glycoproteins. Human-mouse somatic cell hybrids were used to determine which human chromosome was required to confer susceptibility to VSV(HTLV) infection. The only human chromosome common to all susceptible cell hybrids was chromosome 17, and the receptor gene was localized to 17cen-qter. Antibodies to surface antigens known to be determined by genes on 17q did not block the HTLV receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sommerfelt, M A -- Williams, B P -- Clapham, P R -- Solomon, E -- Goodfellow, P N -- Weiss, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 16;242(4885):1557-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Chester Beatty Laboratories, Institute of Cancer Research, London, U.K.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201246" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Immunocytochemical and electrophysiological evidence suggests that somatostatin may be a transmitter in the hippocampus. To characterize the ionic mechanisms underlying somatostatin effects, voltage-clamp and current-clamp studies on single CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal slice preparation were performed. Both somatostatin-28 and somatostatin-14 elicited a steady outward current and selectively augmented the noninactivating, voltage-dependent outward potassium current known as the M-current. Since the muscarinic cholinergic agonists carbachol and muscarine antagonized this current, these results suggest a reciprocal regulation of the M-current by somatostatin and acetylcholine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moore, S D -- Madamba, S G -- Joels, M -- Siggins, G R -- AA-06420/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- AA-07456/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- DK-26741/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 15;239(4837):278-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2892268" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An unexpected immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, signal sequence replacement, was observed in which the recombinational signal sequences of a VH gene segment are fused intact to the 5' end of a DJH element. Nucleotides are not lost from the signal sequences, but they may be lost from the DJH coding sequence. Signal sequence replacement may result from the alternative resolution of an intermediate in VH-to-DJH recombination. This type of rearrangement provides a means to alter the targeting of immunoglobulin gene segments and suggests a mechanism for the occurrence of VH-JH junctions in vivo. Signal sequence replacement may represent an additional pathway for the generation of antibody diversity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Morzycka-Wroblewska, E -- Lee, F E -- Desiderio, S V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 14;242(4876):261-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute Laboratory of Genetics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3140378" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The contributions of two subclasses of excitatory amino acid transmitter receptors to the induction and expression of long-term potentiation (LTP) were analyzed in hippocampal slices. The quisqualate/kainate receptor antagonist DNQX (6,7-dinitro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione) blocked 85% of the evoked field potential, leaving a small response that was sensitive to D-AP5 (D-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate), an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker. This residual D-AP5-sensitive response was of comparable size in control and previously potentiated inputs. High-frequency stimulation in the presence of DNQX did not result in the development of robust LTP. Washout of the drug, however, revealed the potentiation effect. Thus NMDA-mediated responses can induce, but are not greatly affected by, LTP; non-NMDA receptors, conversely, mediate responses that are not needed to elicit LTP but that are required for its expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Muller, D -- Joly, M -- Lynch, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1694-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, University of California, Irvine 92717.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2904701" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The present study was undertaken to examine the possibility that cerebral energy metabolism can be fueled by lactate. As a sole energy substrate, lactate supported normal synaptic function in rat hippocampal slices for hours without any sign of deterioration. Slices that were synaptically silent as a result of glucose depletion could be reactivated with lactate to show normal synaptic function. When slices were exposed to the glycolytic inhibitor iodoacetic acid, lactate-supported synaptic function was unaffected, whereas that supported by glucose was completely abolished. This indicated that lactate was metabolized directly via pyruvate to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Thus, under conditions that lead to lactate accumulation (cerebral ischemia) this "end product" may be a useful alternative as a substrate for energy metabolism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schurr, A -- West, C A -- Rigor, B M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 3;240(4857):1326-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anesthesiology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, KY 40292.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3375817" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a well-characterized polypeptide hormone with diverse biological activities, including stimulation of astrocyte division. A soluble astrocyte mitogen inhibitor, immunologically related to the EGF receptor, is present in rat brain. Injury to the brain causes a time-dependent reduction in the levels of this inhibitor and the concomitant appearance of EGF receptor on the astrocyte surface. Intracerebral injection of antibody capable of binding the inhibitor caused the appearance of numerous reactive astrocytes. EGF receptor-related inhibitors may play a key role in the control of glial cell division in both normal and injured brain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nieto-Sampedro, M -- AG 00538-09A/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 24;240(4860):1784-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychobiology, University of California, Irvine 92717.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3289118" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Angiotensin II (Ang II) is present in high concentrations in preovulatory follicular fluid, and ovarian follicular cells have specific Ang II receptors. To investigate the possible direct involvement of Ang II in ovulation the specific receptor antagonist of Ang II, saralasin, was administered by intraperitoneal injection to immature rats in which follide development and ovulation had been induced with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), respectively. Saralasin halved the number of oocytes found in the fallopian tubes 17 to 20 hours after administration of hCG. The antiovulatory effect was observed when saralasin was given 1 hour before hCG or 1 or 3 hours after hCG but not when given 5 hours after hCG. Simultaneous administration of Ang II reversed the saralasin blockage of ovulation. These results indicate a direct, obligate role for Ang II in ovulation and raise the possibility of contraceptive and profertility applications for agonists or antagonists of the renin-angiotensin system that are aimed at the ovulatory process.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pellicer, A -- Palumbo, A -- DeCherney, A H -- Naftolin, F -- HD22970/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 17;240(4859):1660-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3381087" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The presence of macrophages is required for the regeneration of many cell types during wound healing. Macrophages have been reported to express a wide range of mitogenic factors and cytokines, but none of these factors has been shown in vivo to sustain all the wound-healing processes. It has been suggested that transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) may mediate angiogenesis, epidermal regrowth, and formation of granulation tissue in vivo. Macrophages isolated from a wound site, and not exposed to cell culture conditions, expressed messenger RNA transcripts for TGF-alpha, TGF-beta, platelet-derived growth factor A-chain, and insulin-like growth factor-1. The expression of these transcripts was determined by a novel method for RNA analysis in which low numbers of mouse macrophages were isolated from wound cylinders, their RNA was purified and reverse-transcribed, and the complementary DNA was amplified in a polymerase chain reaction primed with growth factor sequence-specific primers. This single-cell RNA phenotyping procedure is rapid and has the potential for quantification, and mRNA transcripts from a single cell or a few cells can be unambiguously demonstrated, with the simultaneous analysis of several mRNA species. Macrophages from wounds expressed TGF-alpha antigen, and wound fluids contained TGF-alpha. Elicited macrophages in culture also expressed TGF-alpha transcripts and polypeptide in a time-dependent manner after stimulation with modified low-density lipoproteins and lipopolysaccharide endotoxin, which are characteristic of the activators found in injured tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rappolee, D A -- Mark, D -- Banda, M J -- Werb, Z -- AR 32746/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 27345/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 5;241(4866):708-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Radiobiology and Environmental Health, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3041594" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Several complementary DNAs (cDNAs) coding for sphingolipid activator protein-2 (SAP-2) were isolated from a lambda gt-11 human hepatoma library by means of polyclonal antibodies. The nucleotide sequence of the largest cDNA was colinear with the derived amino acid sequence of SAP-2 and with the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA coding for the 70-kilodalton precursor of SAP-1 (SAP precursor cDNA). The coding sequence for mature SAP-2 was located 3' to that coding for SAP-1 in the SAP precursor cDNA. Both SAP-1 and SAP-2 appeared to be derived by proteolytic processing from a common precursor that is coded by a genetic locus on human chromosome 10. Two other domains similar to SAP-1 and SAP-2 were also identified in SAP precursor protein. Each of the four domains was approximately 80 amino acid residues long, had nearly identical placement of cysteine residues, potential glycosylation sites, and proline residues. Each domain also contained internal amino acid sequences capable of forming amphipathic helices separated by helix breakers to give a cylindrical hydrophobic domain that is probably stabilized by disulfide bridges. Protein immunoblotting experiments indicated that SAP precursor protein (70 kilodaltons) as well as immunoreactive SAP-like proteins of intermediate sizes (65, 50, and 31 kilodaltons) are present in most human tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Brien, J S -- Kretz, K A -- Dewji, N -- Wenger, D A -- Esch, F -- Fluharty, A L -- DK 38795/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HD 18983/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS 08682/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 26;241(4869):1098-101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2842863" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The T cell antigen receptor is a multi-subunit receptor complex present on the surface of all mature and many developing T cells. It consists of clonotypic heterodimers noncovalently linked to five invariant chains that are encoded by four genes and referred to as the CD3 complex. The CD3 gamma, delta, and epsilon chains have been molecularly characterized. In this report the molecular cloning of a complementary DNA encoding the zeta chain of the murine T cell antigen receptor is described. The predicted protein sequence of the zeta chain suggests a structure distinct from those of any of the previously described receptor subunits.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weissman, A M -- Baniyash, M -- Hou, D -- Samelson, L E -- Burgess, W H -- Klausner, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Feb 26;239(4843):1018-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3278377" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Manganous superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) scavenges potentially toxic superoxide radicals produced in the mitochondria. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was found to induce the messenger RNA for MnSOD, but not the mRNAs for other antioxidant or mitochondrial enzymes tested. The increase in MnSOD mRNA occurred rapidly and was blocked by actinomycin D, but not by cycloheximide. Induction of MnSOD mRNA was also observed with TNF-beta, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), and IL-1 beta but not with other cytokines or agents tested. TNF-alpha induced MnSOD mRNA in all cell lines and normal cells examined in vitro and in various organs of mice in vivo. These effects of TNF-alpha and IL-1 on target cells may contribute to their reported protective activity against radiation as well as their ability to induce resistance to cell killing induced by the combination of TNF-alpha and cycloheximide.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wong, G H -- Goeddel, D V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 11;242(4880):941-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Genentech, San Francisco, CA 94080.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3263703" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The alterations in morphology and function of the ovarian follicle as it matures, ovulates, and becomes a corpus luteum are dramatic. A variety of steroid and polypeptide hormones influence these processes, and the ovary in turn produces specific hormonal signals for endocrine regulation. One such signal is inhibin, a heterodimeric protein that suppresses the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone from pituitary gonadotrophs. Rat inhibin complementary DNA probes have been used to examine the levels and distribution of inhibin alpha-and beta A-subunit messenger RNAs in the ovaries of cycling animals. Striking, dynamic changes have been found in inhibin messenger RNA accumulation during the developmental maturation of the ovarian follicle.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Woodruff, T K -- D'Agostino, J -- Schwartz, N B -- Mayo, K E -- HD07504/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD21921/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P01 HD021921/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 11;239(4845):1296-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3125611" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: S100 protein is a calcium-binding protein found predominantly in the vertebrate nervous system. Genomic and complementary DNA probes were used in conjunction with a panel of rodent-human somatic cell hybrids to assign the gene for the beta subunit of S100 protein to the distal half of the long arm of human chromosome 21. This gene was identified as a candidate sequence which, when expressed in the trisomic state, may underlie the neurologic disturbances in Down syndrome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Allore, R -- O'Hanlon, D -- Price, R -- Neilson, K -- Willard, H F -- Cox, D R -- Marks, A -- Dunn, R J -- 140-17001/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 11;239(4845):1311-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Genetics, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2964086" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Retinoblastoma, an intraocular tumor that occurs in children, has long been regarded, on the basis of morphological criteria, as a malignancy of the photoreceptor cell lineage. Here it is shown that when this tumor is grown in vitro, the cells express highly specialized photoreceptor cell genes. Transcripts for the transducin alpha subunit, TC alpha, which is specific to the cone cell, as well as transcripts for the red or green cone cell photopigment, were found in seven out of seven low-passage retinoblastoma cell lines. No marker genes specific to rod cell were expressed, suggesting that retinoblastoma has a cone cell lineage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bogenmann, E -- Lochrie, M A -- Simon, M I -- EY04950/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Apr 1;240(4848):76-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematology Oncology, Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, CA 90027.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2451289" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The yeast retrotransposon Ty can be used to insert multiple copies of a gene at new sites in the genome. The gene of interest is inserted into a GALI-Ty fusion construct; the entire "amplification cassette" is then introduced into yeast on a high copy number plasmid vector. Transposition of the Ty element carrying the gene occurs at multiple sites in the genome. Two genes, a bacterial neomycin phosphotransferase gene and the yeast TRPl gene, were amplified in this way. Although the amplified genes were about 1 kilobase in length, they were amplified to about the same extent as a 40-base pair segment. The benefit of this "shotgun" approach is that amplification can be achieved in one set of manipulations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boeke, J D -- Xu, H -- Fink, G R -- GM35010/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM36481/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 15;239(4837):280-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2827308" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding androgen receptors were obtained from human testis and rat ventral prostate cDNA libraries. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs indicated the presence of a cysteine-rich DNA-binding domain that is highly conserved in all steroid receptors. The human cDNA was transcribed and the RNA product was translated in cell-free systems to yield a 76-kilodalton protein. The protein was immunoprecipitable by human autoimmune antibodies to the androgen receptor. The protein bound androgens specifically and with high affinity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chang, C S -- Kokontis, J -- Liao, S T -- DK-09461/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK-37694/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Apr 15;240(4850):324-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Ben May Institute, University of Chicago, IL 60637.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3353726" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A crucial question in the study of immunological reactions in the central nervous system (CNS) concerns the identity of the parenchymal cells that function as the antigen-presenting cells in that organ. Rat bone marrow chimeras and encephalitogenic, major histocompatability--restricted T-helper lymphocytes were used to show that a subset of endogenous CNS cells, commonly termed "perivascular microglial cells," is bone marrow-derived. In addition, these perivascular cells are fully competent to present antigen to lymphocytes in an appropriately restricted manner. These findings are important for bone marrow transplantation and for neuroimmunological diseases such as multiple sclerosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hickey, W F -- Kimura, H -- KO7-NS0087/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 15;239(4837):290-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6079.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3276004" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hormone-sensitive lipase, a key enzyme in fatty acid mobilization, overall energy homeostasis, and possibly steroidogenesis, is acutely controlled through reversible phosphorylation by catecholamines and insulin. The 757-amino acid sequence predicted from a cloned rat adipocyte complementary DNA showed no homology with any other known lipase or protein. The activity-controlling phosphorylation site was localized to Ser563 in a markedly hydrophilic domain, and a lipid-binding consensus site was tentatively identified. One or several messenger RNA species (3.3, 3.5, or 3.9 kilobases) were expressed in adipose and steroidogenic tissues and heart and skeletal muscle. The human hormone-sensitive lipase gene mapped to chromosome 19 cent-q13.3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Holm, C -- Kirchgessner, T G -- Svenson, K L -- Fredrikson, G -- Nilsson, S -- Miller, C G -- Shively, J E -- Heinzmann, C -- Sparkes, R S -- Mohandas, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 16;241(4872):1503-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical and Physiological Chemistry, University of Lund, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3420405" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Quinoxalinediones have now been found to be potent and competitive antagonists at non-NMDA glutamate receptors.

    Description: Neurons that release serotonin as a neurotransmitter project to most regions of the central and peripheral nervous system and mediate diverse neural functions. The physiological effects of serotonin are initiated by the activation of multiple, distinct receptor subtypes. Cloning in RNA expression vectors was combined with a sensitive electrophysiological assay in Xenopus oocytes in order to isolate a functional cDNA clone encoding the 5HTlc serotonin receptor. Injection of RNA transcribed in vitro from this clone into Xenopus oocytes elicits serotonin sensitivity. Mouse fibroblasts transformed with this clone bind serotonin agonists and antagonists and exhibit an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in response to serotonin. The sequence of the 5HTlc receptor reveals that it belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors, which are thought to traverse the cytoplasmic membrane seven times. Moreover, in situ hybridization and RNA blot analysis indicate that the 5HTlc receptor is expressed in neurons in many regions of the central nervous system and suggest that this subclass of receptor may mediate many of the central actions of serotonin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Julius, D -- MacDermott, A B -- Axel, R -- Jessell, T M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 29;241(4865):558-64.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3399891" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Receptors for N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are involved in many plastic and pathological processes in the brain. Glycine has been reported to potentiate NMDA responses in neurons and in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain messenger RNA. Glycine is now shown to be absolutely required for activation of NMDA receptors in oocytes. In voltage-clamped oocytes, neither perfusion nor rapid pressure application of NMDA onto messenger RNA-injected oocytes caused a distinct ionic current without added glycine. When glycine was added, however, NMDA evoked large inward currents. The concentration of glycine required to produce a half-maximal response was 670 nanomolar, and the glycine dose-response curve extrapolated to zero in the absence of glycine. Several analogs of glycine could substitute for glycine, among which D-serine and D-alanine were the most effective. The observation that D-amino acids are effective will be important in developing drugs targeted at the glycine site.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kleckner, N W -- Dingledine, R -- NS17771/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS22249/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS23804/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 12;241(4867):835-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599-7365.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2841759" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Sarafotoxins, a group of 21-residue cardiotoxic peptides from snake venom that induce coronary vasoconstriction, show high-affinity binding to rat atrial and brain membranes and activate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. Neither their binding nor their activity is affected by blockers or activators of known receptors and ion channels, suggesting that sarafotoxins act either directly on the phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase system or on a novel receptor. Their amino acid sequence shows a high degree of homology with that of endothelin, a recently described 21-residue vasoconstrictor peptide found in porcine aortic endothelium. This is remarkable, since endothelin is a natural compound of the mammalian vascular system while sarafotoxins are highly toxic components of snake venom.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kloog, Y -- Ambar, I -- Sokolovsky, M -- Kochva, E -- Wollberg, Z -- Bdolah, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 14;242(4876):268-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, George S.

    Description: An assay for the presence of given DNA sequences has been developed, based on the ability of two oligonucleotides to anneal immediately adjacent to each other on a complementary target DNA molecule. The two oligonucleotides are then joined covalently by the action of a DNA ligase, provided that the nucleotides at the junction are correctly base-paired. Thus single nucleotide substitutions can be distinguished. This strategy permits the rapid and standardized identification of single-copy gene sequences in genomic DNA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Landegren, U -- Kaiser, R -- Sanders, J -- Hood, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 26;241(4869):1077-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3413476" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Urate oxidase (E.C. 1.7.3.3) catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin in most mammals except humans and certain primates. The amino-terminal amino acid sequence for porcine urate oxidase was determined and used in a novel procedure for generating complementary DNA (cDNA) probes to this amino acid sequence. The procedure is based on the polymerase chain reaction and utilizes mixed oligonucleotide primers complementary to the reverse translation products of an amino acid sequence. This rapid and simple cDNA cloning procedure is generally applicable and requires only a partial amino acid sequence. A cDNA probe developed by this procedure was used to isolate a full-length porcine urate oxidase cDNA and to demonstrate the presence of homologous genomic sequences in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, C C -- Wu, X W -- Gibbs, R A -- Cook, R G -- Muzny, D M -- Caskey, C T -- DK31428/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM34428/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 11;239(4845):1288-91.〈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/3344434" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Arsenic is a well-established carcinogen in humans, but there is little evidence for its carcinogenicity in animals and it is inactive as an initiator or tumor promoter in two-stage models of carcinogenicity in mice. Two arsenic salts (sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate) induced a high frequency of methotrexate-resistant 3T6 cells, which were shown to have amplified copies of the dihydrofolate reductase gene. The ability of arsenic to induce gene amplification may relate to its carcinogenic effects in humans since amplification of oncogenes is observed in many human tumors. The inability of arsenic to induce gene mutations may relate to the negative results of arsenic in long-term animal studies and suggests that these experiments may not detect some environmental agents that act late in the carcinogenic process in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, T C -- Tanaka, N -- Lamb, P W -- Gilmer, T M -- Barrett, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 1;241(4861):79-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Carcinogenesis, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3388020" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transgenic mice containing intact copies of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) proviral DNA were constructed. Founder animals were not viremic for HIV and remained healthy during a 9-month observation period. After being mated with nontransgenic animals, one founder mouse (No. 13) gave rise to F1 progeny that developed a disease syndrome characterized by marked epidermal hyperplasia, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, pulmonary lymphoid infiltrates, growth retardation, and death by day 25 of life. Infectious HIV, indistinguishable from parental virus by immunoblot analysis, was recovered from the spleen, lymph nodes, and skin of five of five affected animals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Leonard, J M -- Abramczuk, J W -- Pezen, D S -- Rutledge, R -- Belcher, J H -- Hakim, F -- Shearer, G -- Lamperth, L -- Travis, W -- Fredrickson, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1665-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology, 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/3201255" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In a study of the mechanism of resistance to autoimmune disease induced by T cell vaccination, rats were vaccinated against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by injecting them once in the hind footpads with a subencephalitogenic dose (10(4)) of a clone of T lymphocytes specific for myelin basic protein (BP). The response to vaccination was assayed by challenging the rats with an encephalitogenic dose (3 X 10(6)) of T lymphocytes of this BP-specific clone. Five to six days after vaccination, the cells responsible for mediating resistance to adoptively transferred EAE were concentrated in the popliteal lymph nodes draining the vaccination site. Transfer of the draining lymph node cells to unvaccinated rats led to loss of resistance in the donor rats and acquisition of resistance by the recipient rats. Limiting-dilution cultures of the draining lymph node cells were established with irradiated cells of the BP-specific clone as stimulators. Two sets of T lymphocytes specifically responsive to the BP-specific T cells from the clone were isolated: CD4+CD8- helper and CD4-CD8+ suppressor cells. The helper T cells, like the BP antigen, specifically stimulated the BP-specific vaccinating clone. In contrast, the suppressor T cells specifically suppressed the response of the BP-specific vaccinating clone to its BP antigen. These results suggest that T cell vaccination induces resistance to autoimmune disease by activating an antiidiotypic network.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lider, O -- Reshef, T -- Beraud, E -- Ben-Nun, A -- Cohen, I R -- AM32192/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- NS23372/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 8;239(4836):181-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2447648" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Functional nicotinic cholinergic receptors are found on mammalian retinal ganglion cell neurons in culture. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) can be detected in the medium of many of these retinal cultures, after release presumably from the choline acetyltransferase-positive amacrine cells. The postsynaptic effect of endogenous or applied ACh on the ganglion cells can be blocked with specific nicotinic antagonists. Here it is shown that within 24 hours of producing such a pharmacologic blockade, the retinal ganglion cells begin to sprout or regenerate neuronal processes. Thus, the growth-enhancing effect of nicotinic antagonists may be due to the removal of inhibition to growth by tonic levels of ACh present in the culture medium. Since there is a spontaneous leak of ACh in the intact retina, the effects of nicotinic cholinergic drugs on process outgrowth in culture may reflect a normal control mechanism for growth or regeneration of retinal ganglion cell processes that is exerted by ACh in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lipton, S A -- Frosch, M P -- Phillips, M D -- Tauck, D L -- Aizenman, E -- EY05477/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EY06087/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- NS00879/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 11;239(4845):1293-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neuroscience, Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3344435" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Amino acid sequences deduced from rat complementary DNA clones encoding the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) receptor closely resemble those of the bovine cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (Man-6-P receptorCI), suggesting they are identical structures. It is also shown that IGF-II receptors are adsorbed by immobilized pentamannosyl-6-phosphate and are specifically eluted with Man-6-P. Furthermore, Man-6-P specifically increases by about two times the apparent affinity of the purified rat placental receptor for 125I-labeled IGF-II. These results indicate that the type II IGF receptor contains cooperative, high-affinity binding sites for both IGF-II and Man-6-P-containing proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉MacDonald, R G -- Pfeffer, S R -- Coussens, L -- Tepper, M A -- Brocklebank, C M -- Mole, J E -- Anderson, J K -- Chen, E -- Czech, M P -- Ullrich, A -- CA 39240/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK 30648/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK 34063/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 4;239(4844):1134-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Worcester 01655.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2964083" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A novel CCAAT binding factor (CBF) composed of two different subunits has been extensively purified from rat liver. Both subunits are needed for specific binding to DNA. Addition of this purified protein to nuclear extracts of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts stimulates transcription from several promoters including the alpha 2(I) collagen, the alpha 1(I) collagen, the Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat (RSV-LTR), and the adenovirus major late promoter. Point mutations in the CCAAT motif that show either no binding or a decreased binding of CBF likewise abolish or reduce activation of transcription by CBF. Activation of transcription requires, therefore, the specific binding of CBF to its recognition sites.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maity, S N -- Golumbek, P T -- Karsenty, G -- de Crombrugghe, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 29;241(4865):582-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics, Univesity of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3399893" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Brief repetitive activation of excitatory synapses in the hippocampus leads to an increase in synaptic strength that lasts for many hours. This long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is the most compelling cellular model in the vertebrate brain for learning and memory. The critical role of postsynaptic calcium in triggering LTP has been directly examined using three types of experiment. First, nitr-5, a photolabile nitrobenzhydrol tetracarboxylate calcium chelator, which releases calcium in response to ultraviolet light, was used. Photolysis of nitr-5 injected into hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells resulted in a large enhancement of synaptic transmission. Second, in agreement with previous results, buffering intracellular calcium at low concentrations blocked LTP. Third, depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane so that calcium entry is suppressed prevented LTP. Taken together, these results demonstrate that an increase in postsynaptic calcium is necessary to induce LTP and sufficient to potentiate synaptic transmission.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Malenka, R C -- Kauer, J A -- Zucker, R S -- Nicoll, R A -- MH00437/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH38256/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS24205/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 7;242(4875):81-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2845577" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The position of selected chromosomes was assessed in samples of normal and epileptic human cortex with biotinylated probes specific for individual chromosome domains. Optical sectioning provided a rapid method for three-dimensional resolution of in situ hybridization signals in interphase cells, and solid models were reconstructed from digitized images for detailed rotational studies. There was a dramatic repositioning of the X chromosome in neurons of both males and females in electrophysiologically defined seizure foci. Other chromosomes (1, 9, and Y) showed more subtle positional changes. Specifically altered nuclear patterns involving the X chromosome may become established and create the genetic memory for intractable seizure activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Borden, J -- Manuelidis, L -- CA15044/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 23;242(4886):1687-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3201257" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Complementary DNA clones were isolated that represent the 5' terminal 2.5 kilobases of the murine Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Dmd) messenger RNA (mRNA). Mouse Dmd mRNA was detectable in skeletal and cardiac muscle and at a level approximately 90 percent lower in brain. Dmd mRNA is also present, but at much lower than normal levels, in both the muscle and brain of three different strains of dystrophic mdx mice. The identification of Dmd mRNA in brain raises the possibility of a relation between human Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene expression and the mental retardation found in some DMD males. These results also provide evidence that the mdx mutations are allelic variants of mouse Dmd gene mutations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chamberlain, J S -- Pearlman, J A -- Muzny, D M -- Gibbs, R A -- Ranier, J E -- Caskey, C T -- Reeves, A A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Mar 18;239(4846):1416-8.〈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/3347839" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A defective herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) vector, pHSVlac, has been developed that contains a transcription unit that places the Escherichia coli lacZ gene under the control of the HSV-1 immediate early 4/5 promoter. The vector pHSVlac was propagated with the HSV-1 temperature-sensitive mutant ts K as helper virus. Infection of neurons from rat superior cervical ganglia and dorsal root ganglia in primary culture resulted in stable expression of high levels of beta-galactosidase without cell death. These HSV-1 vectors should be useful for introducing genes into postmitotic cells, such as neurons, in vitro and in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2581874/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2581874/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Geller, A I -- Breakefield, X O -- DK39836/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- NS24279/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS034025/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 23;241(4873):1667-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 02114.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2843986" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

This activity could play a key role in the refinement of retinal projections during development. Recordings in vivo from the retinas of rat fetuses between embryonic day 17 and 21 found action potentials in spontaneously active ganglion cells at all the ages studied.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Galli, L -- Maffei, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Oct 7;242(4875):90-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Istituto di Neurofisiologia Consiglio Nazionale Delle Richerche via San Zeno, Pisa, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3175637" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The sense of taste permits animals to discriminate between foods that are safe and those that are toxic. Because most poisonous plant alkaloids are intensely bitter, bitter taste warns animals of potentially hazardous foods. To investigate the mechanism of bitter taste transduction, a preparation of dissociated rat taste cells was developed that can be studied with techniques designed for single-cell measurements. Denatonium, a very bitter substance, caused a rise in the intracellular calcium concentration due to release from internal stores in a small subpopulation of taste cells. Thus, the transduction of bitter taste may occur via a receptor-second messenger mechanism leading to neurotransmitter release and may not involve depolarization-mediated calcium entry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Akabas, M H -- Dodd, J -- Al-Awqati, Q -- DK 20999/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK 34742/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- NS22993/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 18;242(4881):1047-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3194756" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Previous studies have shown that adrenalectomy augments arginine vasopressin (AVP) messenger RNA levels in the adult paraventricular nucleus. It is now demonstrated that unilateral lesions in the lateral septal nucleus enhance the adrenalectomy-induced expression of AVP mRNA. This effect was entirely ipsilateral to the lesion and most prominent in the rostral paraventricular nucleus and related nuclei. Moreover, AVP and AVP mRNA were found to be colocalized with oxytocin in a few neurons. These results indicate that mRNA expression is modulated by synaptic influences and raise the possibility that synaptically mediated selection of neuronal phenotypes is a dynamic feature of the mature central nervous system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Baldino, F Jr -- O'Kane, T M -- Fitzpatrick-McElligott, S -- Wolfson, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 19;241(4868):978-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Products Department, E.

    Description: An increase in the synthesis of heat shock proteins that is induced in cells in vitro by hyperthermia or other types of metabolic stress correlates with enhanced cell survival upon further stress. To determine if a similar increase in stress tolerance could be elicited in vivo, rats were made hyperthermic, and then their retinas were tested for sensitivity to light damage. This treatment resulted in a marked decrease in photoreceptor degeneration after exposure to bright light as compared to normothermic animals. Concomitant with such protection was an increase in retinal synthesis of three heat shock proteins. Thus, a physiological rise in body temperature enhances the stress tolerance of nerve tissue, perhaps by increasing heat shock protein production.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barbe, M F -- Tytell, M -- Gower, D J -- Welch, W J -- 1 R01 EY07616/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- GM 33551-06/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 30;241(4874):1817-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anatomy, Medical College of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19144.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3175623" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The rat lens undergoes dramatic growth during early postnatal development. Lens weight increased by a factor of 23 in 26 days. Growth rate per day oscillated between 0 and 87 percent. A new culture system was designed to study the oscillations in growth during development. Lens growth and transparency in vitro required pulsatile delivery of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in HL-1 serum-free medium. Continuous delivery of HL-1 medium with PDGF or pulsatile delivery of HL-1 medium without PDGF resulted in lens opacity and no growth. These results provide direct evidence that PDGF stimulates an epithelial tissue and that oscillations in growth occur during normal development of the rat lens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brewitt, B -- Clark, J I -- EY-04542/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EY-07031/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 4;242(4879):777-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Structure, University of Washington, School of Medicine, Seattle 98195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3187521" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A 27-base-long DNA oligonucleotide was designed that binds to duplex DNA at a single site within the 5' end of the human c-myc gene, 115 base pairs upstream from the transcription origin P1. On the basis of the physical properties of its bound complex, it was concluded that the oligonucleotide forms a colinear triplex with the duplex binding site. By means of an in vitro assay system, it was possible to show a correlation between triplex formation at -115 base pairs and repression of c-myc transcription. The possibility is discussed that triplex formation (site-specific RNA binding to a DNA duplex) could serve as the basis for an alternative program of gene control in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cooney, M -- Czernuszewicz, G -- Postel, E H -- Flint, S J -- Hogan, M E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 22;241(4864):456-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, NJ 08544.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3293213" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In seven strains of cultured normal human osteoblast-like cells, a mean of 1615 molecules of tritium-labeled 17 beta-estradiol per cell nucleus could be bound to specific nuclear sites. The nuclear binding of the labeled steroid was temperature-dependent, steroid-specific, saturable, and cell type-specific. These are characteristics of biologically active estrogen receptors. Pretreatment with 10 nanomolar estradiol in vitro increased the specific nuclear binding of progesterone in four of six cell strains, indicating an induction of functional progesterone receptors. RNA blot analysis demonstrated the presence of messenger RNA for the human estrogen receptor. The data suggest that estrogen acts directly on human bone cells through a classical estrogen receptor-mediated mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Eriksen, E F -- Colvard, D S -- Berg, N J -- Graham, M L -- Mann, K G -- Spelsberg, T C -- Riggs, B L -- AG-04875/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- CA-90441/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD-9140/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 1;241(4861):84-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Endocrine Research Unit, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3388021" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [I(1,4,5)P3] is a second messenger generated along with diacylglycerol upon the binding of various physiological agents with their cell surface receptors. I(1,4,5)P3 mobilizes Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites through a receptor-coupled mechanism, and the subsequent increased intracellular free calcium ion concentration [( Ca2+]i) activates a multitude of cellular responses. Electropermeabilized neoplastic rat liver epithelial (261B) cells were used to study Ca2+ sequestration, a process that reverses the elevated [Ca2+]i to resting levels and replenishes intracellular Ca2+ pools. Although I (1,4,5)P3-mobilized Ca2+ is readily sequestered into storage pools by the action of Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatases, Ca2+ mobilized by addition of the nonmetabolized inositol trisphosphate isomer I(2,4,5)P3 is not sequestered, suggesting that metabolism is necessary to eliminate the stimulus for Ca2+ release. Several inositol phosphate compounds were examined for their ability to lower the buffer [Ca2+] to determine if a specific I(1,4,5)P3 metabolite might be involved in stimulating Ca2+ sequestration; of these, I(1,3,4,5)P4 alone was found to induce Ca2+ sequestration, demonstrating a physiological role for this inositol trisphosphate metabolite.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hill, T D -- Dean, N M -- Boynton, A L -- CA 39745/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 42942/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 25;242(4882):1176-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, Honolulu 96813.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2847317" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) is hypothesized to be involved in systemic vascular hypertension through its effects on smooth muscle reactivity and myocardial contractility. By means of RNA blot analyses of cardiac, aortic, and skeletal muscle RNAs in two rat hypertensive models, Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit messenger RNA isoforms (alpha 2 and alpha 3) were shown to be deinduced in response to increased intravascular pressure. The changes were observed after 48 hours or more of experimental hypertension. Under these conditions, there is coordinate induction of another alpha isoform (alpha 1) and of beta-subunit messenger RNAs, probably in response to alterations in sodium flux rather than to elevated blood pressure.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Herrera, V L -- Chobanian, A V -- Ruiz-Opazo, N -- HL01967/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL18318/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL39267/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jul 8;241(4862):221-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Molecular Genetics, Boston University Medical Center, MA 02118.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2838907" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Multiple types of calcium channels have been found in neurons, but uncertainty remains about which ones are involved in stimulus-secretion coupling. Two types of calcium channels in rat sympathetic neurons were described, and their relative importance in controlling norepinephrine release was analyzed. N-type and L-type calcium channels differed in voltage dependence, unitary barium conductance, and pharmacology. Nitrendipine inhibited activity of L-type channels but not N-type channels. Potassium-evoked norepinephrine release was markedly reduced by cadmium and the conesnail peptide toxin omega-Conus geographus toxin VIA, agents that block both N- and L-type channels, but was little affected by nitrendipine at concentrations that strongly reduce calcium influx, as measured by fura-2. Thus N-type calcium channels play a dominant role in the depolarization-evoked release of norepinephrine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hirning, L D -- Fox, A P -- McCleskey, E W -- Olivera, B M -- Thayer, S A -- Miller, R J -- Tsien, R W -- DA02121/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- HL13306/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS24067/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jan 1;239(4835):57-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences, University of Chicago, IL 60637.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2447647" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Band 3 multigene family consists of several distinct but structurally related polypeptides which are probably involved in the transport of anions across the plasma membrane of both erythrocytes and nonerythroid cells. A novel member of this family of polypeptides that resides in the Golgi complex was identified with antibodies to Band 3. The Golgi antigen had a larger molecular size and was antigenically distinct from Band 3 in the amino-terminal domain. It was expressed most prominently in cells that secrete large amounts of sulfated proteins and proteoglycans. This polypeptide may participate in sulfate transport across Golgi membranes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kellokumpu, S -- Neff, L -- Jamsa-Kellokumpu, S -- Kopito, R -- Baron, R -- DE-04724/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 2;242(4883):1308-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2461589" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
