the arrangement of subunits in cholera toxin.cholera toxin consists of five similar b subunits of apparent molecular weight about 10 600 and one a subunit (29 000) consisting of two peptides (a1 23 000-24 000 and a2 about 5500) linked by a single disulfide bond. each b subunit also contains one internal disulfide bond which is readily reduced but is protected from carboxymethylation unless the reduced subunits are heated in urea. tyrosine residues in a1 and in b subunits are readily iodinated, but the intact b assembly does not react with ...19763214
properties of cholera toxin- and naf-stimulated adenylate cyclase from mouse thymocytes.kinetic parameters of mouse thymocyte adenylate cyclase activity were determined. naf and cholera toxin stimulated adenylate cyclase. stimulation by either agent did not change the ph or mg2+ optima relative to control (unstimulated cyclase). the km value for atp of adenylate cyclase stimulated by naf was significantly reduced from control. by contrast, cholera toxin treatment did not change the km relative to control. adenylate cyclase, when stimulated by naf, had an optimum for mn2+ alone, or ...19763217
analysis of the data in the literature on the sensitivity of cholera vibrios to tetracycline.variation diagrams were proposed to be used for the analysis of the published data on the study of vibrio cholerae sensitivity to tetracycline. the diagrams provided systematization of dissimilar data of the experimental studies and a unique system of estimation was created. the analysis of the systematized data provided dividing of the vibrio cholerae strains tested into 4 groups differing in the levels of their sensitivity to tetracycline. the groups were independent of the vibrio cholerae bio ...19755050
interaction of cholera toxin and toxin derivatives with lymphocytes. ii. modulating effects of cholera toxin on in vivo humoral and cellular immune responses.the in vivo effects of cholera toxin on lymphoid organ structure and function in mice were investigated. it was found that within a day following intravenous injection of 1 mug of toxin, thymus as well as spleen weight decreased but the animals remained healthy. histological studies suggested that the involution of lymphoid organs was due to cell death. injection of cholera toxin into adrenalectomized mice was lethal within 36 h. in these animals no decrease in lymphoid organ weight was noted. t ...19765378
comparative study of the proteinograms of vibrios and of closely related microorganisms by means of polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis.proteinograms of 112 strains of vibrios and closely affiliated microorganisms were studied by disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. up to 25 protein peaks with definite mobility coefficients were revealed. the influence of the culture medium on the protein spectrum of the microbes was found. the frequency of peak formation was of great significance for the differentiation of the microbes under study. the quantitative characteristics of the peak area could not be used for differentiation.19767908

[makeup of a population el tor vibrios according to their agglutinability by type-specific sera].the authors studied population composition of 14 strains of el tor vibrios. of 7 strains of ogava serological type the population composition was homogeneous in 2, and heterogeneous in 5. all the 7 strains of el tor vibrios of inaba serological type had homogeneous population composition. changes of the existence conditions of el tor vibrios of ogava serological type, containing in their population 5% cells of hikoshima serological tupe, led to separation of the cells of inaba serological type; ...197834303
immobilization of aminoacylase by adsorption to tannin immobilized on aminohexyl cellulose.the immobilization of aminoacylase (n-acylamino acid amidohydrolase, ec 3.5.1.14) was investigated by using tannin immobilized on aminohexyl cellulose. the most active immobilized aminoacylase was obtained when aminoacylase was adsorbed to the immobilized tannin in a weak alkaline medium containing sodium chloride and n-butanol at 37 degrees c. the activity of the immobilized tannin-aminoacylase complex per unit volume was five times higher than that of the deae-sephadex-aminoacylase complex use ...200134448
[phenomenon of parental resistance and its genetic regulation].lymphocytes of mice f1 (cba x m523) and f1 (a x m523) transplanted to 1000 r irradiated cba or a mice responded to the test antigens--srbc or s. typhi vi-antigen--by formation of 100--1000 times less antibody forming cells than in syngeneic recipients. an intermediate result is achieved when the lymphoid cells are transplanted to the irradiated m523 mice. lymphocytes of mice f1 (a x cba), f1 (cba x c57bl/6), or f1 (a x a.ca) developed a similar immune response in the irradiated syngeneic mice an ...197934452
antivibrionic activity of some glycolytic cycle enzymes of animal cells.the antivibrionic activity of crystalline preparations of five enzymes of the glycolytic cycle of animals cells was investigated. phosphorylase "a" (0.5 mg/ml), aldolase (15 mg/ml) and pyruvate kinase (0.1 mg/ml) were found to inhibit the proliferation of vibrio cholerae cells; phosphoglucomutase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml were found to be vibriocidal. a mixture of these enzymes containing 0.062 mg/ml of phosphorylase "a" and 0.125 mg/ml of each ...197834659
