    Notes: Abstract  The influence of lead acetate (50 mg per kg body weight) on the 131iodine (131I) biokinetics (uptake and retention) in rat thyroid and serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3) as well as thyroxine (T4) was evaluated as a function of time and in combination with lithium treatment. The 2-h and 24-h uptake of 131I in the thyroid was stimulated significantly by lead treatment. The 24-h uptake showed a maximum stimulation after 4 months of lead treatment. Lithium supplementation, however, showed the opposite effect by reducing the iodine uptake, whereby the maximum decrease was noticed after 2 months of treatment. Further, simultaneous lead and lithium treatment resulted in an even more pronounced increase of 2-h 131I uptake with a maximum after 3 months. However, the 24-h uptake after 3 months and 4 months of treatment did not differ significantly from the lead treated reference groups. The thyroidal biological half-life of 131I (Tbiol) was found to have clearly increased following the lead/lithium treatment. Interestingly, the combined lead/lithium treatment applied for 4 months caused a further growth of Tbiol, thus reflecting an increased retention of 131I. A maximum increase of Tbiol was seen after 2 months of combined treatment. A progressive decline of the circulating T3 and T4 levels following lead or lithium treatment was noticed and was more pronounced after combined treatment.

    Description: To monitor changes in alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor distribution in living neurons, the AMPA receptor subunit GluR1 was tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP). This protein (GluR1-GFP) was functional and was transiently expressed in hippocampal CA1 neurons. In dendrites visualized with two-photon laser scanning microscopy or electron microscopy, most of the GluR1-GFP was intracellular, mimicking endogenous GluR1 distribution. Tetanic synaptic stimulation induced a rapid delivery of tagged receptors into dendritic spines as well as clusters in dendrites. These postsynaptic trafficking events required synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation and may contribute to the enhanced AMPA receptor-mediatedtransmission observed during long-term potentiation and activity-dependent synaptic maturation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shi, S H -- Hayashi, Y -- Petralia, R S -- Zaman, S H -- Wenthold, R J -- Svoboda, K -- Malinow, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jun 11;284(5421):1811-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10364548" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Glutamatergic neurotransmission is controlled by presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). A subdomain in the intracellular carboxyl-terminal tail of group III mGluRs binds calmodulin and heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate-binding protein (G protein) betagamma subunits in a mutually exclusive manner. Mutations interfering with calmodulin binding and calmodulin antagonists inhibit G protein-mediated modulation of ionic currents by mGluR 7. Calmodulin antagonists also prevent inhibition of excitatory neurotransmission via presynaptic mGluRs. These results reveal a novel mechanism of presynaptic modulation in which Ca(2+)-calmodulin is required to release G protein betagamma subunits from the C-tail of group III mGluRs in order to mediate glutamatergic autoinhibition.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Connor, V -- El Far, O -- Bofill-Cardona, E -- Nanoff, C -- Freissmuth, M -- Karschin, A -- Airas, J M -- Betz, H -- Boehm, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 5;286(5442):1180-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurochemistry, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Deutschordenstrasse 46, 60528 Frankfurt, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10550060" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is initiated by the recruitment of the clathrin adaptor protein AP-2 to the plasma membrane where the membrane protein synaptotagmin is thought to act as a docking site. AP-2 also interacts with endocytic motifs present in other cargo proteins. Peptides with a tyrosine-based endocytic motif stimulated binding of AP-2 to synaptotagmin and enhanced AP-2 recruitment to the plasma membrane of neuronal and non-neuronal cells. This suggests a mechanism by which nucleation of clathrin-coated pits is stimulated by the loading of cargo proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haucke, V -- De Camilli, P -- CA46128/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- NS36252/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Aug 20;285(5431):1268-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University School of Medicine, 295 Congress Avenue, New Haven, CT 06510, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10455054" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Fos and Jun oncoproteins form dimeric complexes that stimulate transcription of genes containing activator protein-1 regulatory elements. We found, by representational difference analysis, that expression of DNA 5-methylcytosine transferase (dnmt1) in fos-transformed cells is three times the expression in normal fibroblasts and that fos-transformed cells contain about 20 percent more 5-methylcytosine than normal fibroblasts. Transfection of the gene encoding Dnmt1 induced morphological transformation, whereas inhibition of dnmt1 expression or activity resulted in reversion of fos transformation. Inhibition of histone deacetylase, which associates with methylated DNA, also caused reversion. These results suggest that fos may transform cells through alterations in DNA methylation and in histone deacetylation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bakin, A V -- Curran, T -- P30 CA21765/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jan 15;283(5400):387-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Developmental Neurobiology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN 38105, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9888853" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In the absence of disease, the vasculature of the mammalian eye is quiescent, in part because of the action of angiogenic inhibitors that prevent vessels from invading the cornea and vitreous. Here, an inhibitor responsible for the avascularity of these ocular compartments is identified as pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a protein previously shown to have neurotrophic activity. The amount of inhibitory PEDF produced by retinal cells was positively correlated with oxygen concentrations, suggesting that its loss plays a permissive role in ischemia-driven retinal neovascularization. These results suggest that PEDF may be of therapeutic use, especially in retinopathies where pathological neovascularization compromises vision and leads to blindness.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dawson, D W -- Volpert, O V -- Gillis, P -- Crawford, S E -- Xu, H -- Benedict, W -- Bouck, N P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jul 9;285(5425):245-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology-Immunology, Department of Pathology, Robert H.

    Description: Focal adhesions (FAs) are clustered integrins and associated proteins that mediate cell adhesion and signaling. A green fluorescent protein-beta1 integrin chimera was used to label FAs in living cells. In stationary cells, FAs were highly motile, moving linearly for several plaque lengths toward the cell center. FA motility was independent of cell density and resulted from contraction of associated actin fibers. In migrating cells, FAs were stationary and only moved in the tail. FA motility in stationary cells suggests that cell movement may be regulated by a clutch-like mechanism by which the affinity of integrins to substrate may be altered in response to migratory cues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smilenov, L B -- Mikhailov, A -- Pelham, R J -- Marcantonio, E E -- Gundersen, G G -- GM42026/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM44585/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 5;286(5442):1172-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10550057" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Programmed cell death (apoptosis) occurs during normal development of the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms that determine which neurons will succumb to apoptosis are poorly understood. Blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors for only a few hours during late fetal or early neonatal life triggered widespread apoptotic neurodegeneration in the developing rat brain, suggesting that the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, acting at NMDA receptors, controls neuronal survival. These findings may have relevance to human neurodevelopmental disorders involving prenatal (drug-abusing mothers) or postnatal (pediatric anesthesia) exposure to drugs that block NMDA receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ikonomidou, C -- Bosch, F -- Miksa, M -- Bittigau, P -- Vockler, J -- Dikranian, K -- Tenkova, T I -- Stefovska, V -- Turski, L -- Olney, J W -- AG 11355/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DA 05072/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- MH 38894/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jan 1;283(5398):70-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatric Neurology, Charite-Virchow Clinics, Humboldt University, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany. hrissanthi.ikonomidou@charite.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9872743" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Memories for habits and skills ("implicit or procedural memory") and memories for facts ("explicit or episodic memory") are built up in different brain systems and are vulnerable to different neurodegenerative disorders in humans. So that the striatum-based mechanisms underlying habit formation could be studied, chronic recordings from ensembles of striatal neurons were made with multiple tetrodes as rats learned a T-maze procedural task. Large and widely distributed changes in the neuronal activity patterns occurred in the sensorimotor striatum during behavioral acquisition, culminating in task-related activity emphasizing the beginning and end of the automatized procedure. The new ensemble patterns remained stable during weeks of subsequent performance of the same task. These results suggest that the encoding of action in the sensorimotor striatum undergoes dynamic reorganization as habit learning proceeds.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jog, M S -- Kubota, Y -- Connolly, C I -- Hillegaart, V -- Graybiel, A M -- R03 MH57878/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 26;286(5445):1745-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉London Health Sciences Center, London, Ontario N6A 5A5, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10576743" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A mechanism by which the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway mediates growth factor-dependent cell survival was characterized. The MAPK-activated kinases, the Rsks, catalyzed the phosphorylation of the pro-apoptotic protein BAD at serine 112 both in vitro and in vivo. The Rsk-induced phosphorylation of BAD at serine 112 suppressed BAD-mediated apoptosis in neurons. Rsks also are known to phosphorylate the transcription factor CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein) at serine 133. Activated CREB promoted cell survival, and inhibition of CREB phosphorylation at serine 133 triggered apoptosis. These findings suggest that the MAPK signaling pathway promotes cell survival by a dual mechanism comprising the posttranslational modification and inactivation of a component of the cell death machinery and the increased transcription of pro-survival genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bonni, A -- Brunet, A -- West, A E -- Datta, S R -- Takasu, M A -- Greenberg, M E -- NIHP30-HD18655/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P01 HD 24926/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 12;286(5443):1358-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neuroscience, Children's Hospital, and Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10558990" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The role of localized instability of the actin network in specifying axonal fate was examined with the use of rat hippocampal neurons in culture. During normal neuronal development, actin dynamics and instability polarized to a single growth cone before axon formation. Consistently, global application of actin-depolymerizing drugs and of the Rho-signaling inactivator toxin B to nonpolarized cells produced neurons with multiple axons. Moreover, disruption of the actin network in one individual growth cone induced its neurite to become the axon. Thus, local instability of the actin network restricted to a single growth cone is a physiological signal specifying neuronal polarization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bradke, F -- Dotti, C G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Mar 19;283(5409):1931-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Cell Biology Programme, Meyerhofstrasse 1, 69012 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10082468" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In a direct approach to elucidate the origin of long-term depression (LTD), glutamate was applied onto dendrites of neurons in rat neocortical slices. An infrared-guided laser stimulation was used to release glutamate from caged glutamate in the focal spot of an ultraviolet laser. A burst of light flashes caused an LTD-like depression of glutamate receptor responses, which was highly confined to the region of "tetanic" stimulation (〈10 micrometers). A similar depression of glutamate receptor responses was observed during LTD of synaptic transmission. A spatially highly specific postsynaptic mechanism can account for the LTD induced by glutamate release.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dodt, H -- Eder, M -- Frick, A -- Zieglgansberger, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Oct 1;286(5437):110-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry, Kraepelinstrasse 2, 80804 Munich, Germany. dodt@mpipsykl.mpg.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10506556" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Substance P receptor (SPR)-expressing spinal neurons were ablated with the selective cytotoxin substance P-saporin. Loss of these neurons resulted in a reduction of thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia associated with persistent neuropathic and inflammatory pain states. This loss appeared to be permanent. Responses to mildly painful stimuli and morphine analgesia were unaffected by this treatment. These results identify a target for treating persistent pain and suggest that the small population of SPR-expressing neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord plays a pivotal role in the generation and maintenance of chronic neuropathic and inflammatory pain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nichols, M L -- Allen, B J -- Rogers, S D -- Ghilardi, J R -- Honore, P -- Luger, N M -- Finke, M P -- Li, J -- Lappi, D A -- Simone, D A -- Mantyh, P W -- 23970/PHS HHS/ -- 31223/PHS HHS/ -- DEO 7288/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 19;286(5444):1558-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Preventive Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10567262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is thought to increase synaptic strength by phosphorylating postsynaptic density (PSD) ion channels and signaling proteins. It is shown that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor stimulation reversibly translocates green fluorescent protein-tagged CaMKII from an F-actin-bound to a PSD-bound state. The translocation time was controlled by the ratio of expressed beta-CaMKII to alpha-CaMKII isoforms. Although F-actin dissociation into the cytosol required autophosphorylation of or calcium-calmodulin binding to beta-CaMKII, PSD translocation required binding of calcium-calmodulin to either the alpha- or beta-CaMKII subunits. Autophosphorylation of CaMKII indirectly prolongs its PSD localization by increasing the calmodulin-binding affinity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shen, K -- Meyer, T -- GM-48113/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Apr 2;284(5411):162-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology and Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, Box 3709, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10102820" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle are regulated by myosin light-chain kinase and myosin phosphatase through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of myosin light chains. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase Ialpha (cGKIalpha) mediates physiologic relaxation of vascular smooth muscle in response to nitric oxide and cGMP. It is shown here that cGKIalpha is targeted to the smooth muscle cell contractile apparatus by a leucine zipper interaction with the myosin-binding subunit (MBS) of myosin phosphatase. Uncoupling of the cGKIalpha-MBS interaction prevents cGMP-dependent dephosphorylation of myosin light chain, demonstrating that this interaction is essential to the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell tone.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Surks, H K -- Mochizuki, N -- Kasai, Y -- Georgescu, S P -- Tang, K M -- Ito, M -- Lincoln, T M -- Mendelsohn, M E -- HL09330/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL55309/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 19;286(5444):1583-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Cardiology Research Institute and Cardiology Division, Department of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine and New England Medical Center, Boston, MA 02111, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10567269" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Adenylyl cyclase (AC) converts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate, a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates many cellular functions. Recent structural studies have revealed much about the structure and function of mammalian AC but have not fully defined its active site or catalytic mechanism. Four crystal structures were determined of the catalytic domains of AC in complex with two different ATP analogs and various divalent metal ions. These structures provide a model for the enzyme-substrate complex and conclusively demonstrate that two metal ions bind in the active site. The similarity of the active site of AC to those of DNA polymerases suggests that the enzymes catalyze phosphoryl transfer by the same two-metal-ion mechanism and likely have evolved from a common ancestor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tesmer, J J -- Sunahara, R K -- Johnson, R A -- Gosselin, G -- Gilman, A G -- Sprang, S R -- DK38828/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK46371/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM34497/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jul 30;285(5428):756-60.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75235-9050, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10427002" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In contrast with the prevailing view that most tumors and metastases begin as avascular masses, evidence is presented here that a subset of tumors instead initially grows by coopting existing host vessels. This coopted host vasculature does not immediately undergo angiogenesis to support the tumor but instead regresses, leading to a secondarily avascular tumor and massive tumor cell loss. Ultimately, however, the remaining tumor is rescued by robust angiogenesis at the tumor margin. The expression patterns of the angiogenic antagonist angiopoietin-2 and of pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) suggest that these proteins may be critical regulators of this balance between vascular regression and growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Holash, J -- Maisonpierre, P C -- Compton, D -- Boland, P -- Alexander, C R -- Zagzag, D -- Yancopoulos, G D -- Wiegand, S J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jun 18;284(5422):1994-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, 777 Old Saw Mill River Road, Tarrytown, NY 10591, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10373119" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Molecular biology studies of olfaction have identified a multigene family of molecular receptors that are likely to be involved in odor transduction mechanisms. However, because previous functional data on peripheral coding were mainly collected from inferior vertebrates, it has been difficult to document the degree of specificity of odor interaction mechanisms. As a matter of fact, studies of the functional expression of olfactory receptors have not demonstrated the low or high specificity of olfactory receptors. In this study, the selectivity of olfactory receptor neurons was investigated in the rat at the cellular level under physiological conditions by unitary extracellular recordings. Individual olfactory receptor neurons were broadly responsive to qualitatively distinct odor compounds. We conclude that peripheral coding is based on activated arrays of olfactory receptor cells with overlapping tuning profiles.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Duchamp-Viret, P -- Chaput, M A -- Duchamp, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jun 25;284(5423):2171-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de Neurosciences et Systemes Sensoriels, CNRS, UMR, Universite Claude Bernard, 43 boulevard du 11 novembre 1918, 69622 Villeurbanne cedex, France. pduchamp@olfac.univ-lyon1.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10381881" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The selenoprotein phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) changes its physical characteristics and biological functions during sperm maturation. PHGPx exists as a soluble peroxidase in spermatids but persists in mature spermatozoa as an enzymatically inactive, oxidatively cross-linked, insoluble protein. In the midpiece of mature spermatozoa, PHGPx protein represents at least 50 percent of the capsule material that embeds the helix of mitochondria. The role of PHGPx as a structural protein may explain the mechanical instability of the mitochondrial midpiece that is observed in selenium deficiency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ursini, F -- Heim, S -- Kiess, M -- Maiorino, M -- Roveri, A -- Wissing, J -- Flohe, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Aug 27;285(5432):1393-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Dipartmento di Chimica Biologica, Universita di Padova, Viale G.

    Description: Modification of cell surface molecules with sialic acid is crucial for their function in many biological processes, including cell adhesion and signal transduction. Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase) is an enzyme that catalyzes an early, rate-limiting step in the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase was found to be a major determinant of cell surface sialylation in human hematopoietic cell lines and a critical regulator of the function of specific cell surface adhesion molecules.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Keppler, O T -- Hinderlich, S -- Langner, J -- Schwartz-Albiez, R -- Reutter, W -- Pawlita, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 May 21;284(5418):1372-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Applied Tumor Virology Program, Tumor Immunology Program, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10334995" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Many human diseases are associated with the overproduction of oxygen free radicals that inflict cell damage. A manganese(II) complex with a bis(cyclohexylpyridine)-substituted macrocyclic ligand (M40403) was designed to be a functional mimic of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes that normally remove these radicals. M40403 had high catalytic SOD activity and was chemically and biologically stable in vivo. Injection of M40403 into rat models of inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injury protected the animals against tissue damage. Such mimics may result in better clinical therapies for diseases mediated by superoxide radicals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Salvemini, D -- Wang, Z Q -- Zweier, J L -- Samouilov, A -- Macarthur, H -- Misko, T P -- Currie, M G -- Cuzzocrea, S -- Sikorski, J A -- Riley, D P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Oct 8;286(5438):304-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉MetaPhore Pharmaceuticals, 1910 Innerbelt Business Center Drive, St. Louis, MO 63114, USA. dsalvemini@metaphore.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10514375" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) and mu-opioid receptor (muOR) agonists affected respiratory rhythm when injected directly into the preBotzinger Complex (preBotC), the hypothesized site for respiratory rhythmogenesis in mammals. These effects were mediated by actions on preBotC rhythmogenic neurons. The distribution of NK1R+ neurons anatomically defined the preBotC. Type 1 neurons in the preBotC, which have rhythmogenic properties, expressed both NK1Rs and muORs, whereas type 2 neurons expressed only NK1Rs. These findings suggest that the preBotC is a definable anatomic structure with unique physiological function and that a subpopulation of neurons expressing both NK1Rs and muORs generate respiratory rhythm and modulate respiratory frequency.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2811082/" 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/PMC2811082/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gray, P A -- Rekling, J C -- Bocchiaro, C M -- Feldman, J L -- HL37941/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL40959/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL040959/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL040959-12/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 19;286(5444):1566-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, University of California Los Angeles, Box 951763, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1763, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10567264" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase calcineurin induces apoptosis, but the mechanism is unknown. Calcineurin was found to dephosphorylate BAD, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, thus enhancing BAD heterodimerization with Bcl-xL and promoting apoptosis. The Ca2+-induced dephosphorylation of BAD correlated with its dissociation from 14-3-3 in the cytosol and translocation to mitochondria where Bcl-xL resides. In hippocampal neurons, L-glutamate, an inducer of Ca2+ influx and calcineurin activation, triggered mitochondrial targeting of BAD and apoptosis, which were both suppressible by coexpression of a dominant-inhibitory mutant of calcineurin or pharmacological inhibitors of this phosphatase. Thus, a Ca2+-inducible mechanism for apoptosis induction operates by regulating BAD phosphorylation and localization in cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, H G -- Pathan, N -- Ethell, I M -- Krajewski, S -- Yamaguchi, Y -- Shibasaki, F -- McKeon, F -- Bobo, T -- Franke, T F -- Reed, J C -- AG-1593/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- CA-69381/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD25938/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Apr 9;284(5412):339-43.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Burnham Institute, 10901 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10195903" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Osteoporosis and other diseases of bone loss are a major public health problem. Here it is shown that the statins, drugs widely used for lowering serum cholesterol, also enhance new bone formation in vitro and in rodents. This effect was associated with increased expression of the bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) gene in bone cells. Lovastatin and simvastatin increased bone formation when injected subcutaneously over the calvaria of mice and increased cancellous bone volume when orally administered to rats. Thus, in appropriate doses, statins may have therapeutic applications for the treatment of osteoporosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mundy, G -- Garrett, R -- Harris, S -- Chan, J -- Chen, D -- Rossini, G -- Boyce, B -- Zhao, M -- Gutierrez, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Dec 3;286(5446):1946-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉OsteoScreen, 2040 Babcock Road, San Antonio, TX 78229, USA. mundy@uthscsa.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10583956" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Recently, GBR1, a seven-transmembrane domain protein with high affinity for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)B receptor antagonists, was identified. Here, a GBR1-related protein, GBR2, was shown to be coexpressed with GBR1 in many brain regions and to interact with it through a short domain in the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Heterologously expressed GBR2 mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase; however, inwardly rectifying potassium channels were activated by GABAB receptor agonists only upon coexpression with GBR1 and GBR2. Thus, the interaction of these receptors appears to be crucial for important physiological effects of GABA and provides a mechanism in receptor signaling pathways that involve a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kuner, R -- Kohr, G -- Grunewald, S -- Eisenhardt, G -- Bach, A -- Kornau, H C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jan 1;283(5398):74-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉BASF-LYNX Bioscience AG, Department of Neuroscience, Im Neuenheimer Feld 515, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9872744" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Long-term depression (LTD) is a well-known form of synaptic plasticity of principal neurons in the mammalian brain. Whether such changes occur in interneurons is still controversial. CA3 hippocampal interneurons expressing Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors exhibited LTD after tetanic stimulation of CA3 excitatory inputs. LTD was independent of NMDA receptors and required both Ca2+ influx through postsynaptic AMPA receptors and activation of presynaptic mGluR7-like receptors. These results point to the capability of interneurons to undergo plastic changes of synaptic strength through joint activation of pre- and postsynaptic glutamate receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Laezza, F -- Doherty, J J -- Dingledine, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Aug 27;285(5432):1411-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Neuroscience Graduate Program, Department of Pharmacology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10464102" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Leptin, a hormone secreted by fat cells, suppresses food intake and promotes weight loss. To assess the action of this hormone on brain reward circuitry, changes in the rewarding effect of lateral hypothalamic stimulation were measured after leptin administration. At five stimulation sites near the fornix, the effectiveness of the rewarding electrical stimulation was enhanced by chronic food restriction and attenuated by intracerebroventricular infusion of leptin. In contrast, the rewarding effect of stimulating neighboring sites was insensitive to chronic food restriction and was enhanced by leptin in three of four cases. These opposing effects of leptin may mirror complementary changes in the rewarding effects of feeding and of competing behaviors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fulton, S -- Woodside, B -- Shizgal, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jan 7;287(5450):125-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Studies in Behavioural Neurobiology, Concordia University, Montreal, QC, H3G 1M8, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10615045" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Regulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activity by kinases and phosphatases contributes to the modulation of synaptic transmission. Targeting of these enzymes near the substrate is proposed to enhance phosphorylation-dependent modulation. Yotiao, an NMDA receptor-associated protein, bound the type I protein phosphatase (PP1) and the adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) holoenzyme. Anchored PP1 was active, limiting channel activity, whereas PKA activation overcame constitutive PP1 activity and conferred rapid enhancement of NMDA receptor currents. Hence, yotiao is a scaffold protein that physically attaches PP1 and PKA to NMDA receptors to regulate channel activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Westphal, R S -- Tavalin, S J -- Lin, J W -- Alto, N M -- Fraser, I D -- Langeberg, L K -- Sheng, M -- Scott, J D -- F32 NS010202/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- GM 48231/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS10202/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS10543/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jul 2;285(5424):93-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Vollum Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University, 3181 S.W.

    Description: Clozapine exerts superior clinical efficacy and markedly enhances cortical dopamine output compared with classical antipsychotic drugs. Here the alpha2 adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan was administered to rats alone or in combination with the D2/3 dopamine receptor antagonist raclopride. Dopamine efflux in the medial prefrontal cortex and conditioned avoidance responding were analyzed. Idazoxan selectively potentiated the cortical output of dopamine and augmented the suppression of conditioned avoidance responding induced by raclopride. These results challenge basic assumptions underlying the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia and provide insight into clozapine's mode of action.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hertel, P -- Fagerquist, M V -- Svensson, T H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Oct 1;286(5437):105-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section of Neuropsychopharmacology, Karolinska Institute, S-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10506554" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: During mammalian development, electrical activity promotes the calcium-dependent survival of neurons that have made appropriate synaptic connections. However, the mechanisms by which calcium mediates neuronal survival during development are not well characterized. A transcription-dependent mechanism was identified by which calcium influx into neurons promoted cell survival. The transcription factor MEF2 was selectively expressed in newly generated postmitotic neurons and was required for the survival of these neurons. Calcium influx into cerebellar granule neurons led to activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent phosphorylation and activation of MEF2. Once activated, MEF2 regulated neuronal survival by stimulating MEF2-dependent gene transcription. These findings demonstrate that MEF2 is a calcium-regulated transcription factor and define a function for MEF2 during nervous system development that is distinct from previously well-characterized functions of MEF2 during muscle differentiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mao, Z -- Bonni, A -- Xia, F -- Nadal-Vicens, M -- Greenberg, M E -- 5T32NS07112/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS28829/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30-HD18655/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Oct 22;286(5440):785-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neuroscience, Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital and Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10531066" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Bone marrow stem cells develop into hematopoietic and mesenchymal lineages but have not been known to participate in production of hepatocytes, biliary cells, or oval cells during liver regeneration. Cross-sex or cross-strain bone marrow and whole liver transplantation were used to trace the origin of the repopulating liver cells. Transplanted rats were treated with 2-acetylaminofluorene, to block hepatocyte proliferation, and then hepatic injury, to induce oval cell proliferation. Markers for Y chromosome, dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme, and L21-6 antigen were used to identify liver cells of bone marrow origin. From these cells, a proportion of the regenerated hepatic cells were shown to be donor-derived. Thus, a stem cell associated with the bone marrow has epithelial cell lineage capability.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Petersen, B E -- Bowen, W C -- Patrene, K D -- Mars, W M -- Sullivan, A K -- Murase, N -- Boggs, S S -- Greenberger, J S -- Goff, J P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 May 14;284(5417):1168-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA. bryon+@pitt.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10325227" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cell lines derived from the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) were screened for circadian clock properties distinctive of the SCN in situ. Immortalized SCN cells generated robust rhythms in uptake of the metabolic marker 2-deoxyglucose and in their content of neurotrophins. The phase relationship between these rhythms in vitro was identical to that exhibited by the SCN in vivo. Transplantation of SCN cell lines, but not mesencephalic or fibroblast lines, restored the circadian activity rhythm in arrhythmic, SCN-lesioned rats. Thus, distinctive oscillator, pacemaker, and clock properties of the SCN are not only retained but also maintained in an appropriate circadian phase relationship by immortalized SCN progenitors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Earnest, D J -- Liang, F Q -- Ratcliff, M -- Cassone, V M -- NS35822/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jan 29;283(5402):693-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Human Anatomy and Medical Neurobiology, College of Medicine, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, College Station, TX 77843-1114, USA. dearnest@tamu.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9924030" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Self-renewing, totipotent embryonic stem (ES) cells may provide a virtually unlimited donor source for transplantation. A protocol that permits the in vitro generation of precursors for oligodendrocytes and astrocytes from ES cells was devised. Transplantation in a rat model of a human myelin disease shows that these ES cell-derived precursors interact with host neurons and efficiently myelinate axons in brain and spinal cord. Thus, ES cells can serve as a valuable source of cell type-specific somatic precursors for neural transplantation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brustle, O -- Jones, K N -- Learish, R D -- Karram, K -- Choudhary, K -- Wiestler, O D -- Duncan, I D -- McKay, R D -- NS33710/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jul 30;285(5428):754-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuropathology, University of Bonn Medical Center, Sigmund-Freud-Strasse 25, 53105 Bonn, Germany. brustle@uni-bonn.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10427001" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene is mutated in most human kidney cancers. The VHL protein is part of a complex that includes Elongin B, Elongin C, and Cullin-2, proteins associated with transcriptional elongation and ubiquitination. Here it is shown that the endogenous VHL complex in rat liver also includes Rbx1, an evolutionarily conserved protein that contains a RING-H2 fingerlike motif and that interacts with Cullins. The yeast homolog of Rbx1 is a subunit and potent activator of the Cdc53-containing SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase required for ubiquitination of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Sic1 and for the G1 to S cell cycle transition. These findings provide a further link between VHL and the cellular ubiquitination machinery.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kamura, T -- Koepp, D M -- Conrad, M N -- Skowyra, D -- Moreland, R J -- Iliopoulos, O -- Lane, W S -- Kaelin, W G Jr -- Elledge, S J -- Conaway, R C -- Harper, J W -- Conaway, J W -- AG-11085/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- GM41628/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Apr 23;284(5414):657-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10213691" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Human recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) may benefit ischemic stroke patients by dissolving clots. However, independent of thrombolysis, tPA may also have deleterious effects on neurons by promoting excitotoxicity. Zinc neurotoxicity has been shown to be an additional key mechanism in brain injuries. Hence, if tPA affects zinc neurotoxicity, this may provide additional insights into its effect on neuronal death. Independent of its proteolytic action, tPA markedly attenuated zinc-induced cell death in cortical culture, and, when injected into cerebrospinal fluid, also reduced kainate seizure-induced hippocampal neuronal death in adult rats.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, Y H -- Park, J H -- Hong, S H -- Koh, J Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Apr 23;284(5414):647-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉National Creative Research Initiative Center for the Study of Central Nervous System Zinc and Department of Neurology, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 388-1 Poongnap-Dong Songpa-Gu, Seoul 138-736, Korea.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10213688" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Targeting of protein modification enzymes is a key biochemical step to achieve specific and effective posttranslational modifications. Two alternatively spliced ZIP1 and ZIP2 proteins are described, which bind to both Kvbeta2 subunits of potassium channel and protein kinase C (PKC) zeta, thereby acting as a physical link in the assembly of PKCzeta-ZIP-potassium channel complexes. ZIP1 and ZIP2 differentially stimulate phosphorylation of Kvbeta2 by PKCzeta. They also interact to form heteromultimers, which allows for a hybrid stimulatory activity to PKCzeta. Finally, ZIP1 and ZIP2 coexist in the same cell type and are elevated differentially by neurotrophic factors. These results provide a mechanism for specificity and regulation of PKCzeta-targeted phosphorylation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gong, J -- Xu, J -- Bezanilla, M -- van Huizen, R -- Derin, R -- Li, M -- NS33324/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Sep 3;285(5433):1565-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 725 North Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10477520" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Activity shapes the structure of neurons and their circuits. Two-photon imaging of CA1 neurons expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein in developing hippocampal slices from rat brains was used to characterize dendritic morphogenesis in response to synaptic activity. High-frequency focal synaptic stimulation induced a period (longer than 30 minutes) of enhanced growth of small filopodia-like protrusions (typically less than 5 micrometers long). Synaptically evoked growth was long-lasting and localized to dendritic regions close (less than 50 micrometers) to the stimulating electrode and was prevented by blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Thus, synaptic activation can produce rapid input-specific changes in dendritic structure. Such persistent structural changes could contribute to the development of neural circuitry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maletic-Savatic, M -- Malinow, R -- Svoboda, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Mar 19;283(5409):1923-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10082466" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and other neurotrophins support survival of neurons through processes that are incompletely understood. The transcription factor CREB is a critical mediator of NGF-dependent gene expression, but whether CREB family transcription factors regulate expression of genes that contribute to NGF-dependent survival of sympathetic neurons is unknown. CREB-mediated gene expression was both necessary for NGF-dependent survival and sufficient on its own to promote survival of sympathetic neurons. Moreover, expression of Bcl-2 was activated by NGF and other neurotrophins by a CREB-dependent transcriptional mechanism. Overexpression of Bcl-2 reduced the death-promoting effects of CREB inhibition. Together, these data support a model in which neurotrophins promote survival of neurons, in part through a mechanism involving CREB family transcription factor-dependent expression of genes encoding prosurvival factors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Riccio, A -- Ahn, S -- Davenport, C M -- Blendy, J A -- Ginty, D D -- NS34814-04/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Dec 17;286(5448):2358-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuroscience, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 725 North Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21205-2185, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10600750" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In the rat, variations in maternal care appear to influence the development of behavioral and endocrine responses to stress in the offspring. The results of cross-fostering studies reported here provide evidence for (i) a causal relationship between maternal behavior and stress reactivity in the offspring and (ii) the transmission of such individual differences in maternal behavior from one generation of females to the next. Moreover, an environmental manipulation imposed during early development that alters maternal behavior can then affect the pattern of transmission in subsequent generations. Taken together, these findings indicate that variations in maternal care can serve as the basis for a nongenomic behavioral transmission of individual differences in stress reactivity across generations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Francis, D -- Diorio, J -- Liu, D -- Meaney, M J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 5;286(5442):1155-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Developmental Neuroendocrinology Laboratory, Douglas Hospital Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal, H4H 1R3, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10550053" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Maxi-K channels consist of a pore-forming alpha subunit and a regulatory beta subunit, which confers the channel with a higher Ca(2+) sensitivity. Estradiol bound to the beta subunit and activated the Maxi-K channel (hSlo) only when both alpha and beta subunits were present. This activation was independent of the generation of intracellular signals and could be triggered by estradiol conjugated to a membrane-impenetrable carrier protein. This study documents the direct interaction of a hormone with a voltage-gated channel subunit and provides the molecular mechanism for the modulation of vascular smooth muscle Maxi-K channels by estrogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Valverde, M A -- Rojas, P -- Amigo, J -- Cosmelli, D -- Orio, P -- Bahamonde, M I -- Mann, G E -- Vergara, C -- Latorre, R -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Sep 17;285(5435):1929-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departament de Ciencies Experimentals i de la Salut, Universidad Pompeu Fabra, C/Doctor Aiguader 80, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. miguel.valverde@cexs.upf.es〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10489376" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: RAFT1 (rapamycin and FKBP12 target 1; also called FRAP or mTOR) is a member of the ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated)-related family of proteins and functions as the in vivo mediator of the effects of the immunosuppressant rapamycin and as an important regulator of messenger RNA translation. In mammalian cells RAFT1 interacted with gephyrin, a widely expressed protein necessary for the clustering of glycine receptors at the cell membrane of neurons. RAFT1 mutants that could not associate with gephyrin failed to signal to downstream molecules, including the p70 ribosomal S6 kinase and the eIF-4E binding protein, 4E-BP1. The interaction with gephyrin ascribes a function to the large amino-terminal region of an ATM-related protein and reveals a role in signal transduction for the clustering protein gephyrin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sabatini, D M -- Barrow, R K -- Blackshaw, S -- Burnett, P E -- Lai, M M -- Field, M E -- Bahr, B A -- Kirsch, J -- Betz, H -- Snyder, S H -- DA-00074/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- DA-00266/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- GM-07309/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 May 14;284(5417):1161-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Neuroscience, 725 North Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10325225" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Novel one-pot syntheses of sulfur-containing polymers from a five-membered cyclic dithiocarbonate (5-phenoxymethyl-1,3-oxathiolane-2-thione (1)) and diamines were examined. Polydisulfides with M̄n 5400 ∼ 15800 were obtained in the oxidation polymerization of dithiols 2, which were obtained in situ by the reactions of 1 and diamines. When 1,12-dodecanediamine was employed, a polydisulfide with relatively high M̄n was obtained, while in the case of m-xylylenediamine, the polymerization was accompanied by intermolecular cyclization to give a polydisulfide with low M̄n. Polythiourethanes with M̄n 6500 ∼ 17200 were obtained in the polyaddition of 2 with 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate). The yields and M̄n values increase with increasing methylene chain length of 2. Polythioethers with M̄n 2600 ∼ 19900 were obtained by the polycondensations of 2 with α,α′-dibromo-p-xylene. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer decreases with increasing methylene chain length in the main chain.

    Notes: Novel oligoperoxides α-hydro-ω-hydroperoxyoligo(dioxydimethylmethylene-1,4-phenylene-dimethylmethylene) (BPB) (Tm = 143°C, Td = 176°C), α-hydro-ω-hydroxyoligo(dioxydimethylmethylene-1,4-phenylenedimethylmethylenedioxydimethylmethyleneethy lenedimethylmethylene) (EPB) (Tm = 100°C, Td = 175°C) and α-hydro-ω-hydroperoxyoligo(dimethylmethylene-2,6-naphthylenedimethylmethylene (NPN) (Tm = 137°C, Td = 177°C)), the products of condensation of tertiary diols with tertiary dihydroperoxides, were obtained. The structure of the oligoperoxides was confirmed by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). Their thermal properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the mechanism of the thermal decomposition of the oligomeric peroxides was proposed basing on the GC-MS analysis of the degradation products.

    Notes: Five triaromatic azomethine-linked diepoxides have been cured by reaction with 4,4′-methyl-enedianiline (MDA) in a molar ratio epoxide/amine of 1:1 and 2:1. The influence of the structure of monomers, of the molar ratio epoxide/amine, and of the curing conditions on the formation of liquid crystalline networks was studied. Initially a decrease of the clearing temperature was caused by mixing with the nonmesogenic diamine. The clearing point of the mixture increased with conversion, and thermosets with a liquid crystal order of the monomers were obtained from the 2:1 combinations. Curing occurs in two stages as revealed by DSC: first epoxy/amine reaction occurs, and at higher temperature homopolymerisation of residual oxirane takes place. This is due to non-homogeneous melting of the diepoxides in dynamic curing.

    Notes: The vinylic polymerization of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (norbornene) with Co(II) compounds, such as Co(II) stearate, substituted bis(1,3-diketo)cobalt(II), Co(dppe)Cl2, and the metallocene [η5-(C5Me5)Co-η2-Cl]2, in chlorobenzene activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) is reported. MAO* synthesized by the hydrolysis of trimethylaluminium in chlorobenzene instead of toluene increases the catalytical activity strongly, and a turn over of 2.7 tons of poly(2,3-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene) per mol cobalt per hour was achieved. The polymers obtained are amorphous (WAXS). They show weight-average molecular weights up to M̄w = 1.5 · 106 and are soluble in chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, cyclohexane, and decahydronaphthalene.

    Notes: The norbornene/ethylene copolymerization was studied using C2v- and Cs-symmetric metallocene catalysts in the presence of methylaluminoxane as a cocatalyst. The batch reactions were carried out at four different temperatures copolymerizing a constant amount of ethylene with the appropriate amount of norbornene. The activity decreases for the Cp2ZrCl2 catalyst and increases to a constant level for the [Ph2C(Flu)(Cp)]ZrCl2 catalyst when the norbornene/ethylene ratio in the reaction increased. The highest activities and the highest norbornene contents in the copolymers were achieved using the [Ph2C(Flu)(Cp)]ZrCl2. The microstructure of the copolymer determined with 13C NMR was observed to depend on catalyst, temperature and monomer ratio. Cp2ZrCl2 produces more norbornene blocks as a function of norbornene content in the copolymer and longer norbornene sequences than [Ph2C(Flu)(Cp)]ZrCl2. The correlation between the increasing norbornene content in the copolymer and the increasing glass transition temperature is more obvious for [Ph2C(Flu)(Cp)]ZrCl2.

    Notes: A new type of side group copolymethacrylates was synthesized, characterized and tested with respect to its behavior on irradiation with an Ar+-laser beam. The side groups consist of methylene spacer units with different length and of three-ring mesogens with an ester group between the first and the second aromatic ring and on the other hand of two-ring mesogens with an azo-structure between the aromatic rings, respectively. The azochromophoric structure contains different substituents in the terminal aromatic ring. The homopolymers of the azo-dye containing monomers do not display liquid crystalline (lc) mesophases, but the three-ring mesogens induce lc-phases in opposition to the equimolaric copolymers with two-ring ester group mesogens. The lc phases are important for the stability of the recorded change of birefringence (photorecording process) which is influenced by irradiation of the polymers.

    Notes: Solid-state NMR was used to investigate the miscibility of LLDPE/polyamide-6 blends. Two different blends B1 and B2, obtained with LLDPE only and with LLDPE functionalized with diethyl succinate, respectively, as well as their individual components, were characterized by means of 13C selective techniques. Measurement of 1H spin-lattice relaxation times in both laboratory and rotating frames allowed the miscibility at a molecular level to be investigated for both blends: in B1 the domains of the different components are on average larger than 100-200 Å, whereas in B2, where two different fractions could be separated on the basis of their solubility in heptane, the average linear dimensions of the insoluble fraction are between 20 and 200 Å.

    Notes: The synthesis, crystal structure and detatiled molecular mechanics calculations, including crystal packing interactions, of tetrahexylsubstituted sexithienylene are presented. Unexpectedly the molecule, which arranges in the P-1 space group, displays no herringbone arrangement, thienylenic rings are far from coplanarity and the alkylic side chains present different conformations. Molecular mechanics fully accounts for these findings. From crystal packing computations it is derived that different arrangements are unable to lower the packing energy, due to the closeness of two alkyl chains on the same side of the thienylenic backbone, which prevents interspersion of non-parallel molecules.

    Notes: Ethene was copolymerized with 1-hexene and 1-hexadecene over five different homogeneous methylaluminoxane (MAO) activated racemic ansa-metallocene catalysts in order to study both the influence of the ligand (indenyl and tetrahydroindenyl) and the influence of the interannular bridge (ethylene, dimethylsilylene and 1,4-butanediylsilylene) on the copolymerization behaviour. Hydrogenation of the indenyl ligands was found to decrease comonomer content and molar mass of the copolymers. A similar tendency was observed for the ethylene bridge compared to the silylene bridges. The reasons for this behaviour are discussed and related to structural differences of the catalyst precursors. In addition a segregation fractionation technique was applied to study the chemical composition distribution (CCD) of the produced copolymers. Batchwise feed of comonomer resulted in a broad CCD. More homogeneous copolymers could be produced using partly continuous feed of comonomer.

    Notes: The polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) has been studied using 4-[diphenyl(trimethylsilyl)methyl]benzophenone 1 as photoinitiator. The polymerization follows a free radical mechanism; the polymerization rate increases linearly with the monomer concentration and was found to be proportional to the 0.33 and 1.40 power of the photoinitiator and the monomer (MMA) concentration, respectively. The overall activation energy in the case of MMA photopolymerization was calculated to be 25.0 kJ/mol. From 1H NMR studies it is concluded that the obtained polymers contain two different trimethylsilyl moieties, one at the head and the other at the tail of the polymer chain, showing primary termination reactions even at low initiator concentrations. The p-benzoyltrityl radical 1· is incorporated into the polymer chain to a very small extent, acting as a scavenger. This is also concluded by laser flash photolysis (LFP) and ESR spectroscopy measurements. A “living” character of the polymerization was observed only at very low initiator concentrations. The triplet state (31*) of the initiator was quenched by styrene, reducing its efficiency. The rate constant kq of the quenching process of 31* was measured by LFP (kq = 3.1 · 109 M-1 · S-1). The triplet state and the photodissociation efficiency of the initiator is unaffected by MMA at various concentrations.

    Notes: Acrylonitrile/hexyl methacrylate copolymers of different monomer composition were prepared by photopolymerization using uranyl ions as photosensitizer. The copolymer composition data were used to calculate the comonomer reactivity ratios according to the Kelen Tüdős (KT) and the error-in-variables model (EVM) method. The reactivity ratios obtained from the EVM method are rA = 0.14 ± 0.03 and rH = 1.32 ± 0.17. The microstructure was obtained in terms of distribution of A and H centred triad sequences from 13C{1H} NMR spectra of the copolymers. The copolymerization mechanism was determined by using Cheng's methodology. It was found that the Markov second order model gave a good fit to the experimental data. The complex and overlapping proton and carbon signals of A/H copolymers were assigned to various compositional and configurational sequences with the help of inverse HETCOR experiments.

    Notes: Propene polymerizations were performed using the two ansa-zirconocene catalyst systems dimethylsilylbis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride/methylaluminoxane and dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride/methylaluminoxane. The polymerization rate was observed by continuously monitoring the monomer consumption. Reaction rate profiles were obtained in the temperature range from 40°C to 130°C at pressures between 1 and 2.5 bar and catalyst concentrations from 4.6 · 10-6 M to 4.2 · 10-5 M. Isotacticity, as measured by NMR, melting point and molecular weight decreases markedly at higher temperatures. Small amounts of 1,3-inserted monomer (〈1 mol-%) was observed at polymerization temperatures above 80°C. No 2,1-inserted monomer was detected. A kinetic model was developed that describes the polymerization rate for Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 as the catalyst over the entire observed temperature range, and the polymerization rate for Me2Si(2-Me-Ind)2ZrCl2 in a limited temperature range. The model includes an activation reaction, latent sites that may revert to active sites and a permanent deactivation that is second order with respect to the active sites. The activation energy for the propagation reaction was found to be 37 kJ/mol for Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 and 32 kJ/mol for Me2Si(2-Me-Ind)2ZrCl2/MAO. Several kinetic models are compared and discussed.

    Notes: Biodegradable poly(lactic acid)-grafted amylose was synthesized using a trimethylsilyl (TMS) protection method. Tetrahydrofuran soluble, mostly trimethylsilyl protected amylose was prepared and reacted with potassium tert-butoxide to give the corresponding alkoxide. Poly(lactic acid)-grafted amyloses were obtained by ring-opening anionic polymerization of lactide using the polymeric alkoxides as initiators and subsequent removal of the TMS groups. The obtained graft copolymers show biodegradability and a microphase-separated morphology.

    Notes: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction analysis were performed to study the multiple melting behavior and crystal forms of neat syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) in comparison with its miscible blends with amorphous atactic polystyrene (a-PS) or poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-phenylene oxide) (PPO). For neat s-PS annealed at 242 to 250°C, three melting peaks of changing intensity were observed (labeled I, II, and III from low to high temperature), while if annealed at high temperatures (254°C or higher) only two melting peaks were left. The missing peak was determined to be Peak-III for s-PS annealed at high temperatures. For the s-PS/a-PS or s-PS/PPO blends, two melting peaks were observed, and the missing peak is Peak-II. The missing Peak-II in the blend systems is attributed to the β-modification. Apparently, the condition of s-PS being compatible with a-PS or PPO is unfavorable for generating the β-modification upon melt crystallization. This study also showed that Peak-I is associated with the β-modification. Peak-III may be associated with the less stable β′ form, which can be transformed to the β form upon annealing at high temperatures. For the s-PS/a-PS or s-PS/PPO blends upon annealing at higher temperatures, Peak-III quickly decreases, leaving only a single melting peak (Peak-I) for the blends. The phenomenon of the decrease of Peak-III crystals in the blend is similar to that for neat s-PS annealed at high temperatures.

    Notes: The viscoelastic properties of cured acrylate-terminated copolyesters were studied by means of dynamic mechanical analysis. The influence of terminal double bonds, as well as of the cis-trans configuration and distribution along the main chain, on the transition temperatures and rheological properties of the cured polyesters are presented. The presence of double bonds at both chain ends allows the formation of a regular network by crosslinking copolymerization with styrene. The present investigation was carried out on three series of acrylate-terminated copolyesters: poly[(tetramethylene maleate)-co-(tetramethylene phthalate)] (BMPA), poly[(tetramethylene fumarate)-co-(tetramethylene phthalate)] (BFPA) and poly[(tetramethylene phthalate)-co-(tetramethylene succinate)] (BPSA). The results of the mechanical spectrometric analysis are presented as master curves by applying the time-temperature superposition principle. The WLF parameters of the cured unsaturated polyesters were determined above the glass transition temperatures. The glass transition temperatures shift to higher temperatures with increasing degree of crosslinking. The equilibrium shear storage modulus plateau changes as a consequence of the different configuration of the double bonds and the degree of crosslinking. The degree of crosslinking, nc, determined from the equilibrium shear modulus G′e, was higher than those determined from equilibrium swelling measurements, which is apparently connected with the contribution of physical entanglements.

    Notes: Poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres [poly(SerMA-co-MMA), poly(AlaMAm-co-MMA), poly(AlaEMA-co-MMA), and poly(AlaMAm/AlaEMA-co-MMA)] modified with O-methacryloyl-L-serine (SerMA), N-methacryloyl-L-alanine (AlaMAm) and L-alanine 2-methacryloyloxyethyl ester (AlaEMA) were prepared by the emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with SerMA, AlaMAm and AlaEMA, respectively, initiated with 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (ABIP). The series of polymer microspheres showed unimodal distribution of the particle size (290-800 nm) in water. From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy it was concluded that the amino acid moieties are located on the surface of the particles in all cases. Poly(SerMA-co-MMA) showed the most effective suppression of adsorption of proteins such as albumin (Alb), γ-globulin (Glo) and fibrinogen (Fib) among the examined poly(methylmethacrylate) microspheres.

    Notes: This study concerns the synthesis of poly(vinyl ether)s (VEs) carrying pendant cellobiose heptadecanoate (CHD) residues and their mesomorphic properties examined by DSC, polarization microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The poly(VE)s were synthesized through cationic polymerization of a CHD-substituted VE, i.e., 10-(vinyloxy)decyl-2,2′,3,3′,4′,6,6′-hepta-O-decanoyl-β-D-cellobioside. From X-ray diffraction analyses, the mesophase of the poly(VE) proved to be closely similar to that of the star-shaped triplet derivative. The mesophase is characterized by the following features; (i) it consists of discotic columns built up by a regular stacking of the pendant CHD residues, (ii) each polymer main chain is presumed to have an extended conformation due to the periodic stacking of the pendant CHD moieties into a columnar structure, and (iii) each polymer molecule independently forms three discotic columns, which surround the main chain, without any intercalation of the CHD pendants originating from different polymer molecules.

    Notes: The influence of the mixed surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonylphenol polyethoxylate with an average of 40 ethylene oxide units per molecule (NP-40) on the styrene (ST) miniemulsion polymerization in the presence of dodecyl methacrylate (DMA) and stearyl methacrylate (SMA) was investigated. Both Ostwald ripening and creaming could not be neglected for the miniemulsions stabilized by SDS/NP-40 in combination with DMA upon aging at 35°C, whereas no appreciable Ostwald ripening and creaming were detected for the SMA containing miniemulsions. For both the DMA and SMA containing polymerizations at 80°C, the rate of polymerization (Rp) decreases with increasing NP-40 concentration ([NP-40]). Incorporation of a small quantity of the extremely water-insoluble blue dye into the reaction system was applied to probe the particle nucleation loci. For the DMA containing polymerizations with [NP-40] = 0, 1.25, and 2.50 mM and the SMA polymerization with [NP-40] = 0 mM, homogeneous or micellar nucleation can not be ignored. On the other hand, the more hydrophobic SMA in combination with SDS/NP-40 effectively retards the particle nucleation occurring in the aqueous or micellar phase.

    Notes: The melting behavior and the isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(butylene adipate), poly(butylene isophthalate) and their random copolymers were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Multiple endotherms, commonly observed on the melting polyesters, were found to be influenced by crystallization temperature and composition. By applying the Hoffman-Weeks method to the isothermally crystallized samples, the equilibrium melting temperatures of the homopolymers were obtained. From calorimetric results on samples with different degree of crystallinity, the equilibrium melting enthalpy of poly(butylene isophthalate) was calculated and the presence of a crystal-amorphous interphase in copolymers was evidenced. Isothermal melt crystallization kinetics was analyzed according to the Avrami equation. As expected, the introduction of a comonomer was found to decrease the overall crystallization rate of the polymers. Values of Avrami exponent close to three were obtained for all the samples, independently of composition and crystallization temperature, in agreement with a crystallization process originating from predetermined nuclei and characterized by three-dimensional spherulitic growth. In the case of poly(butylene isophthalate), the dependence of the rate of crystallization on Tc shows a maximum at an undercooling of approximately 60°C.

    Notes: Copolymers obtained from the copolymerization of (R,S)-3-butyrolactone ((R,S)-3-BL) and 4-butyrolactone (4-BL) catalyzed by isobutylaluminoxane were compared in structure and properties to copolymers having the same types of repeating units produced by Alcaligenes eutrophus when grown with an appropriate substrate or substrate or substrate mixtures. Copolymers with 4-BL contents up to 33 mol-% were prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The copolymers had a sequence distribution of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB) and 4-hydroxybutyrate (4-HB) units which were non-random in that very few, if any, sequences of more than two successive 4-HB units were present. The 3-HB units are believed to be separated into isotactic (R) and (S) blocks, but thermal analysis by DSC showed that both the glass transition temperatures and melting temperatures decreased in a regular manner with increasing contents of 4-HB units. Number average molecular weights of the copolymers (Mn) ranged from 7000 to 15000. Biodegradation tests with a bacterial hydrolase showed that the biodegradation rates increased with increasing contents of 4-HB units, as is the case for the equivalent bacterial copolymers.

    Notes: A series of side-chain liquid-crystalline polymers via pyridyl-phenol hydrogen bonding complexation was prepared by using non-liquid-crystalline precursors, such as poly[(4-vinylpyridine)-co-(butyl acrylate)] and 4-(4′-nitrophenylazo)phenol, 4-(4′-methoxyphenylazo)phenol or 4-(phenylazo)phenol. The association by hydrogen bonding was confirmed by means of FTIR. While the hydrogen bonds are weakened, and some dissociation occurs at the isotropization temperature, complete dissociation needs much higher temperature. The hydrogen bonds re-form as the complex is cooled to room temperature. The nematic liquid crystallinity of the polymer complexes was shown by means of wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The different substitution groups of azophenol give isotropization temperatures of the polymer complexes in the following sequence: —NO2 〉 —H 〉 —OCH3.

    Notes: Copolymers were prepared by the condensation of rigid benzoyl-terminated poly(p-benzamide) and flexible anilino-terminated poly(m-benzamide) prepolymers. The use of two monomers of the AB type and of end-capped prepolymers resulted in the formation of diblock molecules uncontaminated by triblock or multiblock sequences. Moreover, selective extraction techniques in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with varying amounts of LiCl resulted in the complete elimination of unreacted prepolymers, as evidenced from material balance and 1H NMR data. The above extraction technique also allowed a fractionation of the copolymers in terms of their rigid/flexible compositional distribution ratio. The molecular weight-intrinsic viscosity dependence of poly(m-benzamide) determined in a nonaggregating solvent using light scattering yielded a persistence length of 8 Å, suggesting a relatively large chain flexibility. A tailored copolymer with a fraction β of flexible residues = 0.70 was fractionated, determining the solubility, the viscosity, and the critical composition for mesophase formation in DMAc/LiCl and in 96% H2SO4 solutions. The results, in line with those previously reported for a related system, reveal that the addition of the flexible segment has a little effect on the critical concentration of poly(p-benzamide), whereas the biphasic gap is strongly reduced. Moreover, the solubility of the copolymer is substantially increased over that of the rigid homopolymer. The net result is an unexpected widening of the range of stability of the pure mesophase, with significant implications from both a fundamental and an applied standpoint.

    Notes: Poly{oxy-4,4′-octafluorobiphenylyleneoxy-alt-[1,4-phenylenevinylene(3-trimethylsilyl-1,4-phenylene)vinylene-1,4-phenylene]} (PFSi) was synthesized and characterized to investigate its thermal, optical, electrical and xerographic properties. An LED (light emitting device) using PFSi as the light emitting layer exhibits maximum emission for blue light, but a high turn-on voltage. The origin of the low device performance was examined by investigating the photoconducting behavior. PFSi shows a high photoconductivity in the presence of electron acceptors such as 5-nitroanthranilonitrile (5NAN), and the photoconductivity of PFSi is improved by introducing charge transport materials such as triphenylamine (TPA).

The copolymers with six methylene units as spacer, 3b-3d, showed a smectic phase induced by electron donor-acceptor interactions of the side groups. The homopolymer with eleven methylene units as spacer and methoxy end group, 3f, showed a smectic phase induced by the large length of the spacer. The copolymers with eleven methylene units, 3g-3i, showed a smectic phase induced by both the electron donor-acceptor interactions of the side groups and the large length of the spacer.

    Notes: The effect of molecular weight on sharkskin dynamics is systematically studied using three metallocene-catalyzed linear low density polyethylenes (mLLDPE) of different molecular weights. A new experimental method is developed to enable in-situ characterization of the time scale τ on which sharkskin forms on the extrudate. This laser scattering technique directly measures the periodic variation of the refracted light of the rough sharkskin-like extrudate surface. It is found that τ increases with molecular weight as strongly as the overall molecular chain relaxation time, τ*, determined from oscillatory shear measurements. The observed molecular weight dependence provides additional support for the recently proposed interfacial stress growth/relaxation mechanism for sharkskin formation.

    Notes: The novel polycarbosilane poly(dimethyldiphenylsilylenemethylene) (PDMDPSM) (2) was prepared by H2PtCl6-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of 1,1-dimethyl-3,3-diphenyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane (1). Polymerization in bulk at elevated temperature afforded high molecular weight PDMDPSM (Mw = 577000) with monomodal molecular weight distribution and regularly alternating SiR2/CH2 backbone structure. NMR spectroscopy revealed that a minor fraction of the monomer units is incorporated irregularly during polymerization in bulk, leading to structural units of the type —SiPh2—CH2—SiPh2— and —SiMe2—CH2—SiMe2—. The amount of regularly alternating dimethyl- and diphenylsilylenemethylene units increases when the polymerization is performed in solution at lower temperatures. PDMDPSM shows a glass transition temperature (Tg) at 50°C, which lies between the TgS of poly(methylphenylsilylenemethylene) (PMPSM) and poly(diphenylsilylenemethylene) (PDPSM), demonstrating the stiffening effect of the SiPh2 groups. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) evidenced nearly identical thermal stability of PDMDPSM and PMPSM.

    Notes: A series of poly(p-phenylenes) with linear and branched oxyethylene side chains was synthesized. Microphase separation in the solid state causes polymers with linear side chains to form supramolecular structures, which consist of main chain layers separated by an amorphous side chain matrix. If mixed with lithium salts such as lithium triflate (LiOTf) or lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide (LiNTf), the polymers form solid solutions. The experimental data suggest that the layered structures undergo a one-dimensional swelling in the direction perpendicular to the main chain layers when blended with LiOTf and that this salt is only incorporated into the side chain matrix. The observed melting point depression in polymer-LiNTf mixtures is explained by the assumption that the salt species are incorporated both into the side chain and the main chain microphase.

    Notes: The dielectric behavior of several thermotropic linear and comb-like polymers with flexible spacers and mesogenic fragments with different structure has been studied in a frequency range from 60 Hz to 1 MHz in the bulk state (below the glass transition temperature). Two regions of dipole relaxation caused by local mobility were detected. It was shown that the relaxation parameters of the first process virtually do not change with increasing spacer length and have similar values in polymers with different structure. In the case of the second process, in increase in spacer length considerably increases the mobility of kinetic elements.

    Notes: A blend of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate) (PDTC) containing catalytic amounts of dibutyltin dimethoxide was prepared from solution. The blend was then subjected to melt-mixing at 200°C and samples were taken after different times. According to thermal analysis data, with the increase of reaction time a gradual loss of the crystallizability of the blend components is observed, and after 70 min at 200°C the system becomes completely amorphous. 13C NMR data suggest that the loss of crystallizability of the blend is accompanied by an abrupt decrease in PCL and PDTC sequence lengths reaching after 70 min at 200°C an average length of about two repeating units each. These effects are explained by transesterification reactions between the lactone and carbonate units.

    Notes: A series of poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilanes) were prepared via anionic ring-opening polymerization. The isothermal crystallization kinetics were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry and analyzed in terms of the Avrami equation. The value of the Avrami exponent is approximately 3 for the majority of samples and crystallization temperatures. This suggests a three-dimensional spherulitic growth and an instantaneous nucleation mechanism. The morphology of melt-crystallized samples was studied by atomic force microscopy. Hedrites (immature spherulites) were formed at low undercoolings whereas at high levels of undercooling mature, well developed spherulites were observed with small hedritic features in their center. The melting enthalpy for a 100% crystalline polymer was estimated to be 36 J/g from differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction data obtained by using specimens with different degrees of crystallinity.

    Notes: 2,3-Bis(trimethylsiloxy)butadiene (1) and 2,3-bis(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)butadiene (2) have been homopolymerized and copolymerized with styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) under freeradical conditions. Comparison of initial rates and molecular weights with polymerizations conducted under identical experimental conditions on monosubstituted analogs, 2-trimethysiloxybutadiene (3) and 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)butadiene (4), demonstrated that the second substituent does not decrease the polymerizability significantly despite the additional steric hindrance introduced in the monomer. Extensive 1H and 13C NMR characterization of the polymers demonstrated that the main incorporation mode is of the 1,4-type, allowing more than 95% of the butadienyl subunit to be incorporated in the main chain as an α,β-bis(trialkylsiloxy)vinylene functional group. Monomer reactivity ratios r1 and r2 at 60°C were determined from copolymer composition curves obtained at low conversions and are compared with values obtained for other 1,2-butadienyl systems.

    Notes: Block copolymers of unsubstituted poly(p-xylylene)(PPX) and Ge- or Sn-organic bridged PPX (GePPX and SnPPX) were prepared by pyrolysis of specially synthesized organometallic p-cyclophane precursors followed by deposition and polymerization of the thus produced p-xylylene monomers. The copolymer structure and thermal behavior were investigated depending on deposition temperature (10 and -196°C). The copolymer PPX-GePPX obtained from solid monomers deposited at -196°C (2a) consists of long quasi-independent PPX and GePPX blocks and has paracrystalline structure. Thermal treatment of 2a near 160°C yields crystalline regions of PPX along with paracrystalline aggregates of GePPX. Pyrolysis of this system near 300°C in an inert atmosphere results in the formation of Ge crystals in PPX matrix. In contrast, the copolymer PPX-GePPX produced by simultaneous deposition and polymerization at 10°C (2a′) contains shorter blocks of PPX and GePPX than the copolymer deposited at -196°C. Copolymer 2a′ turns to the amorphous state during thermal treatment, and its pyrolysis does not lead to Ge-crystal formation; hence the supramolecular structure of the polymer plays an important role in inorganic phase formation. The copolymer PPX-SnPPX (2b) is formed only at a deposition temperature of -196°C; deposition at 10°C yields oligomeric resins. The structure of 2b is nearly the same as that of 2a; pyrolysis of 2b in air results in SnO2-crystal formation in a PPX matrix.

    Notes: The modification of PVC with 4-mercaptopyridine is described. The content of pyridine groups in the products is measured by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The degree of modification depends on the reaction conditions, and values of up to 70% are achieved without degradation or other appreciable side reactions. The tertiary amino groups in the polymer can be alkylated with iodides of varying chain length to form quantitatively quaternary pyridinium salt groups, leading to PVC ionomers and polyelectrolytes.
