immunofluorescence identification of thermopolyspora polyspora, the causative agent of farmer's lung.farmer's lung is a serious disabling pulmonary disease found in agricultural workers. the disease is believed to be a hypersensitivity to the thermophilic actinomycetes, principally thermopolyspora polyspora. this organism is difficult to stain with the usual bacteriological stains and thus far has not been demonstrated in the lung tissue by microscopic methods. in this paper, it is demonstrated that the fluorescent-antibody technique is a simple method for the positive identification of t. poly ...19694976327
the purification and properties of two staphylolytic enzymes from streptomyces griseus.1. two staphylolytic enzymes have been purified from cultures of a soil isolate of streptomyces griseus. 2. the purified enzymes were shown to be basic proteins of low molecular weight. each enzyme released n-acetylmuramic acid reducing groups from the cell walls of staphylococcus aureus. 3. the enzymes lysed whole staphylococci best at higher ph values and lower ionic strengths than when the substrate was isolated cell walls or purified mucopeptide. 4. added teichoic acid did not inhibit the en ...19684976493
the specificity of proteinases from streptomyces griseus (pronase).purification of pronase by ion-exchange chromatography gave four proteolytically active fractions. fraction a(2) contained an endopeptidase that attacks poly l-valine. fraction b contained an endopeptidase, an aminopeptidase and carboxypeptidases. the activities against hippuryl-l-arginine and hippuryl-l-phenylalanine could be inhibited to a considerable extent by di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate and by edta. fraction c contained an endopeptidase resembling bovine trypsin. the pure enzyme was co ...19704983492

a diffusible factor responsible for the determination of cholinergic functions in cultured sympathetic neurons. partial purification and characterization.a macromolecule has been partially purified which influences the choice of the neurotransmitter synthesized by sympathetic neurons. previous studies showed that culture medium conditioned by incubation on certain types of non-neuronal cells increased [3h]acetylcholine synthesis and accumulation from [3h]choline in primary cultures of neurons dissociated from neonatal rat superior cervical ganglion and grown in the virtual absence of non-neuronal cells. a concomitant decrease of [3h]catecholamine ...19816110668
sporulation of streptomyces griseus in submerged culture.a wild-type strain of streptomyces griseus forms spores both on solid media (aerial spores) and in liquid culture (submerged spores). both spore types are highly resistant to sonication, but only aerial spores are resistant to lysozyme digestion. electron micrographs suggest that lysozyme sensitivity may result from the thinner walls of the submerged spores. studies of the life cycle indicate that neither streptomycin excretion nor extracellular protease activity is required for sporulation: the ...19836134716

biosynthesis of streptomycin. enzymatic formation of dihydrostreptomycin 6-phosphate from dihydrostreptosyl streptidine 6-phosphate.incubation of o-alpha-l-dihydrostreptose (1 leads to 4) streptidine 6-phosphate (i) with a protein-free extract from streptomyces griseus as endogenous donor and a cell-free extract from this organism led to formation of dihydrostreptomycin 6-phosphate (ii). the product was identified by paper chromatography and by its degradation to dihydrostreptobiosamine (iii). ii was not formed when either the donor solution or the dialysed cell-free extract was omitted. the results corroborate the role of i ...19806157663
3' terminal labelling of rna of rna with beta-32p-pyrophosphate group and its application to the sequence analysis of 5s rna from streptomyces griseus.nucleotide pyrophosphate transferase isolated from streptomyces griseus is used to transfer pyrophosphate group from gamma-32p-atp to the 3'-oh of trna, generating a strictly terminal label at its 3' end. using yeast trnaphe as model compound, it is demonstrated that the labelled molecule is suitable for rapid gel sequencing by both enzymatic and chemical methods. rna molecules terminated by pyrimidine nucleoside are poor pyrophosphate acceptors. to label rnas of this kind, first guanosine 5'-ph ...19806159585
the use of pronase enhances sensitivity of the pap method in the detection of intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins.application of immunocytochemistry to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material tends to provide capricious results, even when employing the unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase (pap) method. this study shows that treatment of tissue sections with pronase, a protease isolated from a strain of streptomyces griseus, prior to performance of the pap procedure greatly enhances its sensitivity. the optimum conditions for use of this enzyme in detecting intracellular immunoglobulins are given ...19806160845
affinophoresis of trypsins.we devised a new separation technique for the protein, "affinophoresis," which is based on its specific affinity and utilizes electrophoresis. this technique requires a carrier macromolecule, "affinophore," which contains both an affinity ligand for a certain protein and many charges, either positive or negative, in order to migrate rapidly in an electric field. when a mixture of proteins is electrophoresed in the presence of the affinophore, the protein having an affinity with the ligand will f ...19826185472

fluorometric determination of dna in cartilage of various species.a sensitive, modified 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (daba), fluorometric dna assay was developed and compared to mithramycin and ethidium bromide assays in determining the dna content of dense connective tissues including: swarm rat chondrosarcoma, rabbit, dog, monkey, and most importantly, adult human articular cartilage. in the more cellular cartilages, the three methods gave equivalent results. however, in the relatively acellular human cartilage, the daba method was shown to be superior. both the ...19846238138
[biosynthesis of the antibiotic, grizin, by prototrophic revertants of streptomyces griseus biochemical mutants].spontaneous and nitrosomethylbiuret-induced prototrophic revertants of various biochemical mutants of str. griseus producing grisin, a streptothricin antibiotic, were isolated. the antibiotic production level of the revertants was studied. it was found that most of the prototrophic revertants synthesized much higher amounts of grisin than the initial biochemical mutants. it was also shown that a number of the prototrophic revertants of the methionine- and arginine-dependent mutants synthesized 2 ...19806249189
protection of actin against proteolysis by complex formation with deoxyribonuclease i.g-actin bound to deoxyribonuclease i (dnase i) is resistant to digestion by trypsin and chymotrypsin. in the absence of dnase i, g-actin is cleaved by these proteases to yield a 33 500 molecular weight core protein which is not degraded further. the major sites of proteolytic action in the amino acid sequence of actin have been identified as being adjacent to residues arginine-62 and lysine-68 for trypsin and leucine-57 for chymotrypsin. these residues are rendered inaccessible to proteases in t ...19806265044
induction of streptomycin-inactivating enzyme by a-factor in streptomyces griseus.the effect of a-factor on streptomycin resistance and productivity in streptomyces griseus and s. bikiniensis was studied using a-factor-negative mutants. resistance of several of these mutants was markedly increased by adding a-factor to the growing medium, as also was their streptomycin productivity. the a-factor induced resistance was due to inactivation by streptomycin-6-phosphotransferase, and enzyme synthesis in these mutants was completely dependent on the presence of a-factor. in the cas ...19826292150
cloning of a pleiotropic gene that positively controls biosynthesis of a-factor, actinorhodin, and prodigiosin in streptomyces coelicolor a3(2) and streptomyces lividans.a-factor (2s-isocapryloyl-3s-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone), an autoregulating factor originally found in streptomyces griseus, is involved in streptomycin biosynthesis and cell differentiation in this organism. a-factor production is widely distributed among actinomycetes, including streptomyces coelicolor a3(2) and streptomyces lividans. a chromosomal pleiotropic regulatory gene of s. coelicolor a3(2) controlling biosynthesis of a-factor and red pigments was cloned with a spontaneous a-fac ...19836309746
purification and characterization of streptomycin 6-kinase, an enzyme implicated in self-protection of a streptomycin-producing micro-organism.streptomycin 6-kinase of the streptomycin-producing strain streptomyces griseus hut 6037 was purified by fractionation with (nh4)2so4 and chromatography on deae-sephadex a-25, hydroxyapatite and sephadex g-100. after page of the final fraction, a protein band corresponding to streptomycin 6-kinase was detected, together with a less intense band having no enzyme activity. molecular weights determined by sds-page and by sephadex g-100 chromatography were about 36000 and 38000, respectively, sugges ...19836313852
partial characterization of thymocyte-activating factor derived from mdp-stimulated guinea pig fibroblasts.the activity of fibroblast-derived thymocyte activating factor (ftaf) of the guinea pig was measured, and the factor was partially characterized. the ftaf activity was heat labile, and destroyed by treatment with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and streptomyces griseus protease, suggesting the protein nature of ftaf. ftaf bound to deae-sepharose cl-6b in tris-hcl buffer at ph 8.0, and was eluted with 0.1-0.2 m nacl. ftaf was absorbed with blue sepharose cl-6b. the factor bound to a hydroxylapatite column ...19846335219
a triglobular model for the polypeptide chain of aspartokinase i-homoserine dehydrogenase i of escherichia coli.limited proteolysis of aspartokinase i-homoserine dehydrogenase i from escherichia coli by type vi protease from streptomyces griseus yields five proteolytic fragments, three of which are dimeric, the other two being monomeric. one of the monomeric fragments (27 kilodaltons) exhibits residual aspartokinase activity, while the second one (33 kilodaltons) possesses residual homoserine dehydrogenase activity. the smallest of the dimeric species (2 x 25 kilodaltons) is inactive; the two other dimers ...19836338915
