| an antitumor polypeptide antibiotic neocarzinostatin: the mode of apo-protein--chromophore interaction. | the mode of neocarzinostatin-chromophore (ncs-chr)-apo-neocarzinostatin (apo-ncs) interaction in neocarzinostatin (ncs) complex has been described. the ncs-chr release from the ncs complex in the presence of various reagents, which destroy the high-order structure of the protein under various ph conditions, was examined. we found that (i) sodium dodecylsulfate, nonidet p 40, 8 m urea, and 2-propanol did release ncs-chr from ncs, (ii) no ncs-chr release is detected below ph 7, but it is enhanced ... | 2010 | 2967272 |
| a proposed mechanism of action for alg and atg in severe acquired aplastic anaemia. | in this study we have shown that various batches of anti-lymphocyte globulin (alg), anti-thymocyte globulin (atg) and human intravenous immunoglobulin (iv ig) all contain antibodies with the capacity to block lymphocyte receptors for the fc region of igg, i.e., fc gamma receptors. these antibodies may exert an effect on fc gamma receptor bearing suppressor t cell function in vivo. since t cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acquired severe aplastic anaemia, it is conceivable that a ... | 1988 | 2967377 |
| intestinal bacterial flora and host defense mechanisms. | the protective mechanisms of intestinal bacterial flora against exogenous infections will be discussed in this paper. experimental data on protective function of escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis and bacteroides distasonis comprising intestinal flora against oral infection of shigella flexneri which causes localized infection are presented. furthermore, the present investigation deals with non-specific defense mechanism which indicate that protective activity of intestinal flora against pa ... | 1986 | 2968005 |
| genetics and regulation of enterobactin genes in shigella flexneri. | although shigella flexneri possesses the genes for two siderophore systems, enterobactin and aerobactin, the enterobactin system is only rarely utilized. to investigate the regulation of enterobactin expression in s. flexneri, all of the genes specifically required for synthesis and transport of enterobactin were cloned from both an expressing (ent+) and a nonexpressing (ent-) strain. notable differences between the cloned genes included endonuclease restriction site changes and the presence of ... | 1988 | 2973458 |

| technique for measurement of one-dimensional instantaneous ablation velocity. | an oscillating mirror scanned a he-ne laser beam along the length of a thin rod while the rod was ablated by an argon laser beam. the shadow of the scanning beam on an image plane provides a picture of the instantaneous ablation velocity of the rod. this configuration provides a unique method for investigating one-dimensional ablation. | 2010 | 2976448 |
| [rpo pathway as a possible recombination mechanism of the interaction between dna of transducing phages and the escherichia coli genome]. | the conditions affecting recombination of dnas of transducing lambdoid rifd phages with the chromosome of escherichia coli k-12 reca in the region of homology were studied. in support to the previously obtained data, the int system was shown to take no part in the process. the homologous character of recombination interactions and their dependence on efficiency of transcription were demonstrated. it is therefore suggested that recombination takes the rpo pathway. similar peculiarities were revea ... | 1988 | 2976700 |
| hypersensitivity to shigella outer membrane proteins in mice. | mice sensitized with living sh. flexneri 3a or with outer membrane proteins (omp) derived from these bacteria showed arthus and delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) when injected in the footpad with omp. the delayed reactivity to omp was transferable to normal mice by spleen cells obtained from donor animals which were previously sensitized with living bacteria. | 1987 | 2977277 |
| [the possibility of using the demonstration of shigella antigens in the study of the epidemic process in dysentery]. | the detection of shigella antigens in feces in accordance with the results of the passive hemagglutination test is more effective than the bacteriological method for finding out persons infected with shigella, especially in the absence of pronounced clinical manifestations of dysentery, and can be used in the study of the mechanism of the epidemic process. the examination of two groups, each consisting of permanent and temporary members, has revealed that the use of this method for detection of ... | 1988 | 2977464 |

| recurrence of hepatic amebiasis after successful treatment with metronidazole. | a patient with an amebic liver abscess had an incomplete response to an initial course of metronidazole, but subsequently responded to a prolonged course of the agent. recurrence of disease in the contralateral hepatic lobe responded to chloroquine along with a luminicide. we took the initial failure of metronidazole to be secondary to either the advanced nature of the disease or the development of partial resistance to metronidazole. the recurrence was the result of reinfection of the liver by ... | 2008 | 2980773 |
| characterization of a major protein with a molecular weight of 160,000 associated with the viral capsid of epstein-barr virus. | a monoclonal antibody designated v3 was produced against a late protein associated with the epstein-barr virus-induced viral capsid antigen complex. the antibody reacted with discrete patches in the nuclei of infected cells as well as with virus particles, as shown by immunofluorescence and ultrastructural immunoperoxidase staining. the molecular weight of the protein precipitated by this monoclonal antibody was ca. 160,000. all anti-viral capsid antigen antibody-positive sera tested in an enzym ... | 1985 | 2981328 |
| middle tumor antigen of polyomavirus transformation-defective mutant ng59 is associated with pp60c-src. | we have found that lysis of mouse embryo cells infected with the polyomavirus host range transformation-defective (hr-t) mutant ng59 under gentle conditions that avoid ionic detergents results in detectable ng59-encoded middle tumor antigen (mtag) associated with pp60c-src. this mtag-pp60c-src complex could be immunoprecipitated from ng59-infected cell lysates by either sera from animals bearing polyomavirus-induced tumors or by monoclonal antibodies directed against mtag. immune complex kinase ... | 1985 | 2981329 |
| genome organization of herpesvirus aotus type 2. | herpesvirus aotus type 2, a virus commonly found in owl monkeys without overt disease, has a similar genome structure to the oncogenic herpesviruses of nonhuman primates (herpesvirus saimiri, herpesvirus ateles). virion dna of herpesvirus aotus type 2 (m-dna) has an unique 110-kilobase-pair region of low g + c content (40.2%, l-dna), inserted between stretches of repetitive h-dna (68.7% g + c, about 41 kilobase pairs per molecule) that are variable in length. a minority of virions contain defect ... | 1985 | 2981331 |
| autoregulation of the bacteriophage p22 scaffolding protein gene. | during the formation of each bacteriophage p22 head, about 250 molecules of the product of gene 8, scaffolding protein, coassemble with and dictate correct assembly of the coat protein into a proper shell structure. at approximately the time that dna is inserted inside the coat protein shell, all of the scaffolding protein molecules leave the structure. they remain active and participate in several subsequent rounds of shell assembly. previous work has shown that scaffolding protein gene express ... | 1985 | 2981337 |
| analysis of mobilization elements in plasmids from shigella flexneri. | the mobilization properties of three plasmids were examined after cotransfer from shigella flexneri to escherichia coli. the largest plasmid, pcn1, was shown to be a conjugative r factor that could promote its own transfer and allow cotransfer of a 4.1-kilobase plasmid, pcn3; mobilization of the third plasmid, pcn2 (6.3 kilobases), required the presence of both pcn1 and pcn3. sequences from pcn2 and pcn3 homologous to the bom (basis of mobilization) sites of cole1 and pbr322 were localized by an ... | 1985 | 2982788 |
| adenine nucleotides directly stimulate pertussis toxin. | both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin catalyzed adp-ribosylation of purified bovine brain tubulin. the effect of cholera toxin was evident in the absence or presence of nucleotides. in contrast, pertussis toxin required adenine nucleotides for its adp-ribosylating activity. atp, atp gamma s, app(nh)p, deoxy-atp, and adp all supported pertussis toxin-catalyzed adp-ribosylations in the absence or presence of edta, suggesting that nucleotide hydrolysis was not involved. adenine nucleotides also pr ... | 1985 | 2982826 |

| escherichia coli 23s ribosomal rna truncated at its 5' terminus. | in a strain of e. coli deficient in rnase iii (abl1), 23s rrna has been shown to be present in incompletely processed form with extra nucleotides at both the 5' and 3' ends (king et al., 1984, proc. natl. acad. sci. u.s. 81, 185-188). rna molecules with four different termini at the 5' end are observed in vivo, and are all found in polysomes. the shortest of these ("c3") is four nucleotides shorter than the accepted mature terminus. in growing cells of both wild-type and mutant strains up to 10% ... | 1985 | 2987818 |
| opioid modulation of ingestive behaviors in woodchucks and racoons. | we have examined the effect on feeding of opioid blockade with naloxone in two species which demonstrate a marked seasonality in their feeding patterns, the racoon (procyon lotor) and the woodchuck (marmota monax). naloxone suppressed food intake in the woodchuck which is a true hibernator. naloxone failed to suppress food intake in the racoon and, in fact, enhanced intake of a preferred sucrose solution. in the racoon, ir-dynorphine concentrations were extremely high in the hypothalamus compare ... | 1985 | 2987986 |
| isolation of retinoic acid-resistant clones from human breast cancer cell line mcf-7 with altered activity of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein. | after ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis of the mammary carcinoma cell line, mcf-7, we have isolated three clones, u-2, u-3, and u-9, resistant to retinoic acid. these three clones showed more than a 1000-fold higher level of resistance to retinoic acid than the parental mcf-7 cells when assayed by colony formation in monolayer culture system or by growth curves. the three resistant clones showed a 200-fold higher resistance to 13-cis-retinoic acid, about 10-fold higher resistance to retinol, a ... | 1985 | 2988768 |
| mercuric reductase structural genes from plasmid r100 and transposon tn501: functional domains of the enzyme. | the nucleotide sequence for the 2240 bp of plasmid r100 following the merc gene of the mercuric resistance operon has been determined and compared with the homologous sequence of transposon tn501. the sequences following merc and preceding the next structural gene mera are unrelated between r100 and tn501 and differ in length, with 72 bp in tn501 and 509 bp in r100. the r100 sequence has a potential open reading frame (orf) for a 140 amino acid polypeptide with a reasonable translational start s ... | 1985 | 2989109 |
| cloning of plasmid dna sequences involved in invasion of hela cells by shigella flexneri. | a large plasmid is found in virulent isolates of shigella sp. and encodes functions essential for invasion of mammalian cells. to identify plasmid sequences necessary for invasion, we isolated a series of tn5 insertions in pwr100, the virulence plasmid of shigella flexneri serotype 5. these insertions demonstrated that three separate ecori fragments of pwr100 were required for invasion of hela cells. however, the corresponding native ecori fragments, when cloned into pbr325, did not restore viru ... | 1985 | 2989179 |
| metastasis of an occult gastric carcinoma suggesting growth of a prolactinoma during bromocriptine therapy: a case report with a review of the literature. | the treatment of a slowly growing invasive prolactinoma with bromocriptine for 8 months resulted in a substantial decrease in plasma prolactin levels despite rapid suprasellar tumor expansion. on exploration, this uncommon observation could be attributed to hematogenous metastasis from an occult gastric adenocarcinoma to the pituitary tumor. apart from infiltration of neighboring parts of the hypothalamus, autopsy revealed no other hematogenous metastases. this extraordinary type of neoplasm-to- ... | 2010 | 2989726 |
| inhibition and activation of bovine heart nad-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase by atp. | in the absence of added calcium, inhibition of nad-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase by atp occurred without adp (i0.5 = 1.8 mm) and with 0.2 mm adp3- (i0.5 = 1.0 mm) at subsaturating substrate concentrations at ph 7.4. inhibition by atp was competitive with nad+ in the presence and absence of adp and was not reversed by magnesium citrate. no reversal of atp inhibition by free ca2+ was observed in the presence of adp (0.2 mm). however, when adp was absent, increasing ca2+ first caused progressiv ... | 1985 | 2990340 |
