| phylogenetic specificity of prolactin gene expression with conservation of pit-1 function. | in mammals, the pituitary pou homeodomain protein, pit-1, binds to proximal and distal 5'-flanking sequences of the prl gene that dictate tissue-specific expression. these dna sequences are highly conserved among mammals but are dramatically different from prl 5' sequences in the teleost species, oncorhynchus tschawytscha (chinook salmon). to analyze the molecular basis for pituitary-specific gene expression in a distantly related vertebrate, we transfected cat reporter gene constructs containin ... | 1992 | 1350055 |
| dietary arginine requirement of young rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). | 1. two growth trials were conducted with young rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) to determine the dietary arginine requirement under conditions of rapid weight gain at 15 degrees c. 2. the growth requirement does not exceed 4.2 g arginine/16 g dietary nitrogen and, thus, is much lower than the value of 6.0 g arginine/16 g dietary nitrogen presently listed by the nrc for chinook salmon and widely applied to all salmonids. 3. comparison of the present results with the arginine requirement of the ... | 1992 | 1351818 |
| infectious pancreatic necrosis virus internalization and endocytic organelles in chse-214 cells. | the early events that take place during the internalization of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) into chinook salmon embryo cells (chse-214) were analyzed ultrastructurally. endocytic tracers were employed in order to characterize the organization of endocytic organelles in chse-214 cells, as well its relation to the ipnv penetration. results demonstrate that ipnv appear internalized within vesicular compartments which are located peripherally in chse-214 cells. despite the high rate o ... | 1992 | 1358463 |
| effect of purine supplementation on the growth of salmonid cell lines in different mammalian sera. | the chinook salmon embryo cell line, chse-214, grew well in fetal bovine serum (fbs) but poorly in dialyzed (d) fbs. purines restored most but not all growth-promoting activity to dfbs, which suggests that purines account for a large portion of the dialyzable fraction's growth-promoting activity. chse-214 died in newborn calf serum (ncs) but grew slightly in dncs, which suggests that the dialyzable fraction of ncs contains a toxic component(s). little or no proliferation occurred in calf serum ( ... | 1992 | 1368400 |
| [cloning and sequence analysis of salmon growth hormone cdna]. | cdna clones encoding chinook salmon, oncorhynchus tschawytscha, growth hormone (sgh) have been isolated from a cdna library prepared from chinook salmon pituitary gland poly(a)+ rna. synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide mixtures based on amino acid residues 1-7 of sgh and 166-172 of sgh were used as hybridization probes to select recombinant plasmids carrying the sgh coding sequence. the complete nucleotide sequence of sgh cdna has been determined. the cdna sequence codes for a polypeptide of 210 amin ... | 1992 | 1466911 |
| nucleocapsid gene sequence of a north american isolate of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus, a fish rhabdovirus. | viral haemorrhagic septicaemia is the most important viral disease of trout in europe. the causative agent, viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (vhsv), a member of the lyssavirus genus of the rhabdoviridae family, was formerly believed to be confined to portions of the european continent; however in 1988, vhsv was isolated from adult chinook (oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (o. kisutch) salmon returning to two hatcheries in the northwestern part of the state of washington, u.s.a. initial fea ... | 1992 | 1634868 |

| in vitro growth of the bacterial kidney disease organism renibacterium salmoninarum on a nonserum, noncharcoal-based "homospecies-metabolite" medium. | laboratory and field trials were conducted to evaluate in vitro growth of renibacterium salmoninarum in media without serum or charcoal. growth of this bacterium, the cause of bacterial kidney disease (bkd) in salmonids, is accelerated by addition of a growth enhancing "metabolite" of unknown composition to kdm2 medium, the medium commonly used for isolation of r. salmoninarum. kdm2 medium supplemented with greater than 1% (v/v) metabolite enhanced growth even without addition of either serum or ... | 1994 | 7933282 |
| the chinook salmon gonadotropin ii beta subunit gene contains a strong minimal promoter with a proximal negative element. | the salmon pituitary expresses two distinct gonadotropins, gonadotropin i (gthi) and gonadotropin ii (gthii). these two hormones are synthesized in distinct pituitary cells and secreted at different stages during the reproductive cycle. to study the transcriptional regulation of the hormone-specific beta-subunit of gthii (sgthii beta) gene, approximately 3.5 kilobases of the 5'-flanking region was characterized and sequenced. the pituitary specificity of sgthii beta was examined by analyzing sgt ... | 1994 | 7935492 |
| differential recruitment of steroid hormone response elements may dictate the expression of the pituitary gonadotropin ii beta subunit gene during salmon maturation. | the role of testosterone (t) and 17 beta-estradiol (e2) in the control of chinook salmon gonadotropin ii beta subunit (sgthii beta) gene was examined. both e2 and t specifically stimulated gthii beta gene expression in cultured juvenile rainbow trout pituitary cells. 5'-flanking regions of the sgthii beta gene linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) expression vector were transfected into these pituitary cells, and cultures were treated with steroid hormones. estrogen-stimulated ca ... | 1994 | 7935493 |
| zinc and dna binding properties of a novel lim homeodomain protein isl-2. | lim homeodomain proteins are a family of recently characterized proteins which contain, in addition to a homeodomain, two tandem repeats of conserved cys-his motifs termed as lim domains. we have recently isolated several clones from a chinook salmon pituitary cdna library that encode two novel lim homeodomain proteins, isl-2 and isl-3, which are structurally related to rat isl-1. in the present study, we used the salmon isl-2 to determine the role of lim domains in dna binding. several glutathi ... | 1994 | 7999775 |
| enhancement of proliferation in cultures of chinook salmon embryo cells by interactions between inosine and bovine sera. | the influence of inosine on dna synthesis by chinook salmon embryo cells (chse-214) was investigated because previously cell number was shown to increase from six- to thirtyfold if inosine was added to the basal medium (l-15) supplemented with either dialyzed fetal bovine serum (dfbs), calf serum (cs), or dcs. relative to l-15, 3h-thymidine incorporation was inhibited by these sera alone but elevated in nondialyzed (intact) fbs. inosine at 10 microm stimulated 3h-thymidine incorporation from ten ... | 1994 | 8077278 |
| one of two growth hormone genes in coho salmon is sex-linked. | salmonid fishes have two growth hormone genes resulting from their polyploid ancestry. we used the polymerase chain reaction to examine genetic variation in the third intron (c) of both of these genes in coho salmon (oncorhynchus kisutch). a polymorphism in the length of intron c in gh-1 is due to a variable number of copies of a 31-nt repeat that is absent from gh-1 of the closely related chinook salmon (oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). thus, this tandem repeat ... | 1994 | 8127856 |
| growth of fish cell lines in glutamine-free media. | the glutamine requirement for the in vitro proliferation of fish cells was investigated with cell lines from four different species and three tissues: goldfish skin (gfsk-s1), chinook salmon embryo (chse-214), and rainbow trout liver (rtl-w1) and spleen (rtsp-w1). with a supplement of fetal bovine serum, the basal medium, leibovitz's l-15, without glutamine supported the proliferation of all four cell lines as well, or nearly as well, as l-15 with 2 mm glutamine. this was true over short term as ... | 1994 | 7766144 |
| several splicing variants of isl-1 like genes in the chinook salmon (oncorhynchus tschawytscha) encode truncated transcription factors containing a complete lim domain. | several novel cdna clones have been isolated from a chinook salmon pituitary cdna library. sequence analysis of these clones indicates that they are closely related to the rat lim domain homeobox gene, isl-1. due to differential splicing, several of the clones encode truncated polypeptides containing a complete copy of the lim domain without the homeodomain and c-terminal activation domain. the roles of these truncated polypeptides are discussed. | 1995 | 7873614 |
