production of native, correctly folded bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor by escherichia coli.	a gene for bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (bpti) was fused to the coding sequence for the escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase signal peptide and expressed in e. coli under the control of the alkaline phosphatase promoter. when induced in phosphate-depleted medium such cells produced a trypsin inhibitor that was indistinguishable from native, properly folded bpti. in particular, the bpti produced by e. coli had three disulfide bonds that appeared to be identical to those found in native bp ...	1986	2423515
endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (pai): a new member of the serpin gene family.	a human endothelial cdna expression library, based on the escherichia coli plasmid puc9, was screened with a heterologous antibody raised against purified bovine aortic endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (pai). a synthetic oligonucleotide, derived from a partial pai cdna expression clone, was used to select a full-length pai cdna, the size of which coincides with the length of pai mrna (approximately 2350 nucleotides) as determined by northern blot analysis. the authenticity of full-len ...	1986	2430793
in vitro methylation of bovine papillomavirus alters its ability to transform mouse cells.	bovine papillomavirus (bpv) was methylated in vitro at either the 29 hpaii sites, the 27 hhai sites, or both. methylation of the hpaii sites reduced transformation by the virus two- to sixfold, while methylation at hhai sites increased transformation two- to fourfold. dna methylated at both hpaii and hhai sites did not differ detectably from unmethylated dna in its efficiency of transformation. these results indicate that specific methylation sites, rather than the absolute level of methylated c ...	1986	2431294
oligodeoxynucleotides containing synthetic abasic sites. model substrates for dna polymerases and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonucleases.	a synthetic procedure has been developed by which stable abasic sites are introduced into oligodeoxynucleotides at any desired position in the sequence. a modified tetrahydrofuran moiety, isosteric with 2'-deoxyribofuranose, serves as a structural analog of the natural apurinic/apyrimidinic site. we have also prepared oligodeoxynucleotides that lack cyclic structure at the abasic site but retain the carbon atoms of the phosphodiester backbone. these synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides are cleaved on ...	1987	2440861
enzymatic conversion of glutamate to delta-aminolevulinic acid in soluble extracts of euglena gracilis.	glutamate was converted to the chlorophyll and heme precursor delta-aminolevulinic acid in soluble extracts of euglena gracilis. delta-aminolevulinic acid-forming activity depended on the presence of native enzyme, glutamate, atp, mg2+, nadph or nadh, and rna. the requirement for reduced pyridine nucleotide was observed only if, prior to incubation, the enzyme extract was filtered through activated carbon to remove firmly bound reductant. dithiothreitol was also required for activity after carbo ...	1987	2442164
characterization of an immunoprotective protein complex of anaplasma marginale by cloning and expression of the gene coding for polypeptide am105l.	immunization with an anaplasma marginale surface protein complex containing two polypeptides (am105u and am105l), each having a molecular weight of 105,000, protected cattle against challenge with virulent organisms. these polypeptides were immunoprecipitated together from detergent extracts of a. marginale by a neutralizing monoclonal antibody. after surface radioiodination of intact parasites, both am105u and am105l contained the radiolabel. to define the structural and antigenic relationships ...	1987	2443451
improved immunogenicity of a peptide epitope after fusion to hepatitis b core protein.	synthetic vaccines for viral diseases can use defined regions of viral proteins as immunogens: the peptide sequence of amino acids 141-160 of the vp1 protein of foot and mouth disease virus (fmdv) elicits virus-neutralizing antibodies to protect guinea pigs, cattle and pigs either when coupled to a carrier protein or when administered in liposomes or in incomplete freund's adjuvant. the immune response to these peptides is much lower than that to complete virus particles and the same sequence fu ...	1987	2446137
the influence of nalidixic acid on escherichia coli growth in milk.	the high antibacterial activity of nalidixic acid against escherichia coli, cultivated in raw and pasteurized milk has been shown. the low oxygen reduction potential had no influence on the antibacterial activity of this drug. the natural antibacterial agents in active milk from an inflamed udder have reduced the efficacy of nalidixic acid inhibition of the growth of e. coli.	1987	2447751
use of a series of ompf-ompc chimeric proteins for locating antigenic determinants recognized by monoclonal antibodies against the ompc and ompf proteins of the escherichia coli outer membrane.	a method is presented for the efficient location of antigenic determinants using a series of chimeric proteins. by means of in vivo homologous recombination between the ompc and ompf genes coding for ompc and ompf, homologous proteins of the escherichia coli outer membrane, a series of ompf-ompc chimeric genes was constructed (nogami, t., mizuno, t., & mizushima, s.

the influence of a double-stranded hindrance on dna synthesis performed by dna polymerase alpha, t4 dna polymerase, dna polymerase i (klenow fragment) and amv reverse transcriptase.	the influence of a double-stranded region on dna synthesis performed by a series of dna polymerases on a single-stranded template was studied. two types of double-stranded hindrances were employed: a stable hairpin formed by the template alone and a region formed by the template and an extraneous oligonucleotide complementary to the template. while t4 and calf thymus alpha dna polymerases are strongly arrested at the beginning of either of the two double-stranded hindrances, the klenow fragment ...	1988	2449362
inhibitory effect of flavonoids on dna-dependent dna and rna polymerases.	flavonoids, (-)-epigallocatechin (1), myricetin (2) and quercetin (3), were investigated for inhibitory effects on e. coli dna polymerase i and t7 bacteriophage rna polymerase. in both dna and rna synthesis, 1 and 3 inhibited enzyme reactions by non-competitive and mixed type inhibition respectively, with regard to template dnas. myricetin (2) inhibited dna and rna polymerase reactions by mixed type and competitive type inhibition, respectively, with template dnas. it was suggested that 2 intera ...	1988	2460368
monoclonal antibodies to a proenkephalin a fusion peptide synthesized in escherichia coli recognize novel proenkephalin a precursor forms.	monoclonal antibodies have been generated to a chimeric peptide comprised of escherichia coli beta-galactosidase fused to the amino acid sequence 69-207 of human preproenkephalin a. two monoclonal antibodies, pe-1 and pe-2, were identified by their ability to recognize the same segment of proenkephalin a fused to the cii gene product of the e. coli bacteriophage lambda. the binding domains of pe-1 and pe-2 have been broadly located, with respect to the primary translation product, within the ami ...	1988	2461943
secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor binding to mrna and dna as a possible cause of toxicity to escherichia coli.	the expression of the positively charged human protein secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (slpi) in escherichia coli causes severe cellular toxicity. after induction of slpi synthesis in a high-level-expression strain, sge61, the growth of the strain is arrested and total protein and rna synthesis rates decline by 60 to 70%. the mechanism of slpi-mediated inhibition of macromolecular synthesis was examined in cell-free transcription-translation systems. slpi proved to be a potent inhibitor o ...	1989	2467900
molecular cloning of the plasmid-located determinants for cs1 and cs2 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli of serotype o6:k15:h16 of human origin.	the plasmid pcs001, isolated from an enterotoxigenic strain of escherichia coli, mediates expression of the cs1 or cs2 and cs3 fimbrial adhesins in appropriate e. coli hosts. to characterize this further, hindiii-generated dna fragments of this plasmid were cloned into the vector plasmid pbr322. a chimaera, called pcs200, which mediated expression of the cs1 or cs2 fimbrial antigen but not of cs3 fimbrial antigen in appropriate host strains, was obtained. the dna inserted into the vector sequenc ...	1988	2473163
iga subclasses of human colostral antibodies specific for microbial and food antigens.	the distribution of total and antigen-specific iga1 and iga2 antibodies in human colostrum was determined by elisa using subclass-specific monoclonal reagents. in 18 samples of colostrum the mean ratio of total iga1 to iga2 was found to be 53:47, respectively, but significant individual variations were observed. in two samples we found unusually low levels of iga1, while iga2 was in the normal range. iga1 and iga2 antibody activities were determined against the following antigens: bovine gamma-g ...	1989	2478328
cloning and characterization of cdna for mitochondrial gtp:amp phosphotransferase of bovine liver.	three different types of cdna clones for mitochondrial gtp:amp phosphotransferase (ak3) were isolated from a cdna library of bovine liver poly(a)+ rna. nucleotide sequencing revealed that each of these clones consisted of a common 5'-untranslated region, a common ak3-coding sequence and a 3'-untranslated region with different sizes. by northern blot analysis, three species of ak3 mrna apparently corresponding to the isolated cdna clones were detected, which would be a result of varying terminati ...	1989	2478555
g protein beta gamma subunits from bovine brain and retina: equivalent catalytic support of adp-ribosylation of alpha subunits by pertussis toxin but differential interactions with gs alpha.	we have examined the ability of the beta gamma subunits of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins (g proteins) to support the pertussis toxin (pt) catalyzed adp-ribosylation of g protein alpha subunits. substoichiometric amounts of the beta gamma complex purified from either bovine brain g proteins or the bovine retinal g protein, gt, are sufficient to support the adp-ribosylation of the alpha subunits of gi (the g protein that mediates inhibition of adenylyl cyclase) and go (a g protein ...	1989	2496748
theileria annulata sporozoite surface antigen expressed in escherichia coli elicits neutralizing antibody.	theileria annulata is an economically important protozoan parasite that threatens an estimated 250 million cattle with the disease tropical theileriosis. development of a defined subunit vaccine is one means of trying to develop control measures against the disease. to this end we have characterized a surface antigen complex of the infective stage (sporozoite), by using a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes sporozoite infectivity in vitro. we have cloned the gene coding for this complex and hav ...	1989	2499888
reduction of protein mixed disulfides (dethiolation) by escherichia coli thioredoxin: a study with glycogen phosphorylase b and creatine kinase.	the role of thioredoxin in the reduction of protein mixed disulfides (dethiolation) was studied by electrofocusing methodology with glycogen phosphorylase b and creatine kinase as substrates for the reaction. glycogen phosphorylase b was effectively dethiolated by escherichia coli thioredoxin with dithiothreitol as the reductant, while creatine kinase could not be dethiolated by this mechanism. the rate of dethiolation of phosphorylase b was dependent on the concentration of thioredoxin up to a ...	1989	2500063
an improved system for expressing pancreatic ribonuclease in escherichia coli.	an improved method for expressing and purifying bovine pancreatic ribonuclease from a synthetic gene using the lambda promoter controlled by a temperature-sensitive repressor is described. the procedure involves isolation in the presence of a refolding buffer containing oxidized and reduced glutathione, under conditions where rnase can refold, but where proteases presumably do not. yields are approx. 2 mg purified protein per 1 ferment.	1989	2523320
inhibition of the first phosphodiester bond formation catalyzed by escherichia coli rna polymerase in the presence of bovine seminal plasmin: promoter dependency.	inhibition of the abortive initiation of transcription catalyzed by e. coli rna polymerase has been studied here in the presence of bovine seminal plasmin. seminal plasmin, which is known to be a stronger inhibitor than rifampicin binds at the same site as rifampicin to rna polymerase. however, unlike rifampicin, seminal plasmin showed the inhibition of the formation of both the first and second phosphodiester bonds. we observed, in vitro, that the degree of inhibition of transcription was diffe ...	1989	2531681
expression of cdnas encoding wild-type and mutant neuromodulins in escherichia coli: comparison with the native protein from bovine brain.	murine cdna that encodes neuromodulin, a neurospecific calmodulin binding protein, was inserted into the plasmid pkk223-3 for expression in escherichia coli. after being transformed into e. coli strain sg20252 (lon-), the expression vector directed the synthesis of a protein that was recognized by polyclonal antibodies raised against bovine neuromodulin. the recombinant protein expressed in e. coli was found to be tightly associated with insoluble cell material and was extractable only with guan ...	1989	2532540
fragments of prochymosin produced in escherichia coli form insoluble inclusion bodies.	bovine prochymosin produced in escherichia coli has been used as a model system to investigate factors which may cause a recombinant protein to accumulate as insoluble inclusion bodies. a series of plasmids was constructed to investigate the effect of deletions within the prochymosin-coding sequence on protein inclusion body formation. the results demonstrated that as much as 70% of the prochymosin-coding sequence could be deleted with no significant reduction in the accumulation of insoluble pr ...	1989	2536676
bacterial expression of the p24 gag protein of the bovine leukaemia virus.	the possibility of expression of the gag gene of bovine leukaemia virus (blv) in the bacterial system was investigated. the dna fragment coding for the gag core 24 kda protein of blv was inserted into the porf1 expression vector. the polypeptides expressed in e. coli were analysed by western blotting. the bacterially synthesized antigens were detected by the serum of a blv-infected cow and by mouse monoclonal antibodies against the native p24 gag protein.	1989	2541030
