determination of polyprotein processing sites by amino terminal sequencing of nonstructural proteins encoded by plum pox potyvirus.	nonstructural proteins of plum pox potyvirus were partially purified following a procedure described for the isolation of tobacco etch virus nuclear inclusion proteins. plum pox virus proteins with electrophoretic mobilities corresponding to 49, 59 and 68 kda reacted with antibodies against the 49 kda and 54 kda components of the nuclear inclusions and the 70 kda component of the cylindrical inclusions of tobacco etch virus, respectively. further purification by size exclusion high performance l ...	1990	2138835
dot hybridization detection of plum pox virus using 32p-labeled rna probes representing non-structural viral protein genes.	a cdna library covering the complete genome of plum pox virus strain d (ppv d) has been obtained, and an endonuclease restriction map derived from it. this map was superposed on the ppv genomic organisation map, established for a nonaphid transmissible strain of ppv (maiss et al., 1989). this allowed us to select seven probes, corresponding to different regions on the ppv genome. these probes were tested in a dot-blot hybridization assay for the detection of ppv. probes of various lengths (0.25 ...	1990	2148174
detection of the trans activity of the plum pox virus nia-like protease in infected plants.	the nia-like protein of plum pox virus is a protease with high sequence specificity that is autocatalytically released from the viral polyprotein. in order to determine whether the protease is active in trans we constructed a fusion protein consisting of the c-terminal region of the plum pox virus polyprotein and the staphylococcal protein a. the authentic protease recognition sequence asn-val-val-val-his-gln-ala occurs in the centre of this protein fusion. this protein was cleaved specifically ...	1990	2197372
rna helicase: a novel activity associated with a protein encoded by a positive strand rna virus.	most positive strand rna viruses infecting plants and animals encode proteins containing the so-called nucleotide binding motif (ntbm) (1) in their amino acid sequences (2). as suggested from the high level of sequence similarity of these viral proteins with the recently described superfamilies of helicase-like proteins (3-5), the ntbm-containing cylindrical inclusion (ci) protein from plum pox virus (ppv), which belongs to the potyvirus group of positive strand rna viruses, is shown to be able ...	1990	2263459
[central neurogenic hyperventilation in an awake patient with a primary cerebral lymphoma].	we described clinical and neuropathological findings of a case of primary cerebral lymphoma with central neurogenic hyperventilation (cnh). a 54-year-old awake woman with a primary cerebral lymphoma presented hyperventilation for two weeks. arterial blood gas showed severe respiratory alkalosis; ph 7.603, paco2, 10.5 mmhg, pao2 129.8 mmhg, hco2 10.4 mmol/l, be -8.0, o2sat 98.9%. rebreathing from a paper bag, and intravenous administration of diazepam and sodium bicarbonate failed to alter the re ...	1990	2265512
mutational analysis of plum pox potyvirus polyprotein processing by the nia protease in escherichia coli.	a binary escherichia coli expression system has been used to study the pathway for proteolytic processing of the plum pox potyvirus (ppv) polyprotein. trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the cylindrical inclusion protein occurred, although with lower efficiency than that at the large nuclear inclusion protein-capsid protein junction. no trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the small nuclear inclusion protein (nia) was detected. the proteolytic activities at different cleavage sites of several ...	1990	2273380
infectious in vitro transcripts from a plum pox potyvirus cdna clone.	a full-length cdna clone of the 9786 nt plum pox virus (ppv) rna genome has been cloned downstream from a phage t7 rna polymerase promoter. the rnas synthesized by in vitro run-off transcription in the presence of the 5' cap analog m7gpppg were infectious in nicotiana clevelandii plants. no infectivity was detected when the transcriptions were carried out in the absence of the cap analog. inoculations of the local lesion host chenopodium foetidum indicated that the infectivity of the synthetic t ...	1990	2371774
nailing down construction costs. design-build approach may have some answers.	design-build firms, long accustomed to getting the smaller projects in the healthcare construction industry, have reason to be optimistic that the plum jobs will no longer be out of reach. at a time when the healthcare industry is under intense pressure to cut costs, but the need for renovation and new construction is increasing, design-build is a construction approach that promises to save time and money and guarantees price up front. as an alternative to traditional design-bid-build constructi ...	1990	10104649
tissue culture and top-fruit tree species.	the commercial cultivation of rosaceous fruit trees (e.g., pear, apple, cherry, peach, plum) relies heavily upon the quality and performance of the rootstocks. this is even more the case now that self-rooted scions produce larger trees with a longer juvenile phase (1). it would, therefore, be of special interest for the fruit breeder to have general purpose rootstocks with a wide ecophysiological adaptation and high compatibility coupled with early cropping. in addition, many of the older and hi ...	1990	21390607

[atypical course of histiocytosis x].	a 48-year-old female patient was admitted because of increasing in size xanthomas of the eyelids lasting since 9 years (despite surgical treatment) and narrowing considerably the palpebral fissures. five years earlier the diagnosis of type ii b hyperlipoproteinaemia was made. presently, besides palpebral lesions, a painless plum-sized tumour was found in the right frontoparietal area and two hard tumours of similar size were situated bilaterally in the submandibular area. in the biopsy specimens ...	1989	2623863
[occurrence of nitrates and nitrites in certain frozen fruits, jams, stewed fruit and fruit-vegetable juices for children and in certain types of bee honey].	nitrates and nitrites were evaluated spectrophotometrically by the method of griess reaction, with previous reduction of nitrates to nitrites in a column filled with cadmium dust. the content of nitrates in frozen fruit (strawberries, black and red currant and plums) ranged from 2.50 to 57.38 mg kno3/kg, with the highest content in garden strawberries. in cherry, strawberry, black and red currant jams the concentrations were from 6.30 to 97.38 mg kno3/kg, the highest content was in cherry jam. i ...	1989	2637478
expression of the plum pox virus coat protein region in escherichia coli.	a cdna complementary to the 3' end of plum pox virus (ppv) rna was sequenced. the sequence was investigated for the presumable coat protein cistron by computer-aided translation. a fragment containing the stop codon of the polyprotein gene and a putative virus-specific protease cleavage site was subcloned into an e. coli expression vector. it is shown by immunological analysis that the coat protein cistron is located within the subcloned region.	1989	2655276
artificial cleavage site recognized by plum pox potyvirus protease in escherichia coli.	a synthetic plum pox virus (ppv) nib-cp cleavage site was recognized by a ppv protease in an in vivo escherichia coli expression system. the presence of the natural nib-cp cleavage site did not affect processing at the artificial one. however, although both the proteases and the cleavage sites of ppv and tobacco etch virus show high sequence homology, a similar cassette from the tobacco etch virus nib-cp junction was not efficiently recognized by the ppv protease.	1989	2657098
proteolytic activity of the plum pox potyvirus nia-like protein in escherichia coli.	the nucleotide sequence of the small nuclear inclusion protein (nia)-like cistron of plum pox potyvirus (ppv) has been determined. viral proteolytic activity was expressed in escherichia coli cells harboring plasmids with a ppv cdna insert approximately 7000 nt long. free ppv capsid protein was detected in these cells, but it was not produced when a mutation was introduced in the ppv cdna insert which induced a gln to pro substitution at the large nuclear inclusion protein (nib)-capsid protein j ...	1989	2658302
proteolytic activity of the plum pox potyvirus nia-protein on excess of natural and artificial substrates in escherichia coli.	the plum pox potyvirus (ppv) nia protease expressed from a medium copy number plasmid was able to process an excess of substrate expressed from a high copy number plasmid, in a binary escherichia coli expression system. the delta b7 nia protease mutant only partially processed the nib-cp junction but its efficiency was independent of the amount of substrate. the delta b7 mutant essentially did not recognize an artificial cleavage site which was quite efficiently recognized by the wild-type prote ...	1989	2684687
diet and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a case-control study in guangzhou, china.	we conducted interviews on 306 histologically confirmed incident cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) occurring in residents of guangzhou city, china, who were under the age of 50 years, and an equal number of age-, sex-, and neighborhood-matched controls. we also interviewed 110 mothers of patients under age 45 years and 139 mothers of controls who were matched to patients under age 45 years, to obtain information on childhood exposures of study subjects. exposure to salted fish, whether in ...	1989	2732001
nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminal region of potato virus yn rna.	the sequence of the 3'-terminal 1611 nucleotides of the genome of the tobacco veinal necrosis strain of potato virus y (pvyn) was determined. the sequence revealed an open reading frame of 1285 nucleotides, of which the start was not identified, and an untranslated region of 316 nucleotides upstream of a poly(a) tract. comparison of the open reading frame with the amino-terminal sequence of the viral coat protein enabled mapping of the start of the coat protein at amino acid -267, and indicated ...	1989	2732687

the complete nucleotide sequence of plum pox potyvirus rna.	the complete nucleotide sequence of the plum pox virus (ppv) rna genome has been determined. the rna sequence is 9786 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3'-terminal poly(a) tail. an aug triplet at position 147-149 was assigned as the initiation codon for the translation of the genome size viral polyprotein which would consist of 3140 amino acid residues. the nucleotide sequence of the non-coding regions and the predicted amino acid sequence of the polyprotein of ppv were compared with those pr ...	1989	2773595
the genome-linked protein and 5' end rna sequence of plum pox potyvirus.	the infectivity of plum pox potyvirus (ppv) rna was decreased by treatment with proteases. ribonuclease digestion of iodinated ppv rna yielded material which had an electrophoretic mobility corresponding to mr 22,000. this protein presumably corresponds to the protease-sensitive structure needed for infectivity. a protein-linked rnase t1-resistant oligonucleotide, 38 nucleotides long, was sequenced and shown to correspond to the 5' terminus of the rna by sequence comparison to the rnas of two ot ...	1989	2794981
chronic vegetative state after severe head injury: clinical study; electrophysiological investigations and ct scan in 15 cases.	fifteen cases of chronic vegetative state (cvs), following severe head injury and lasting for two years or more, are reported. vegetative state, in most instances after a period of coma, consists of a return of wakefulness accompanied by an apparent total lack of higher mental activity. a protracted period of vegetative state has been chosen to ensure that the possibility of further recovery could virtually be excluded. the term of cvs could therefore be reasonably used to designate these cases. ...	1989	2812420
evidence of biological control of agrobacterium tumefaciens strains sensitive and resistant to agrocin 84 by different agrobacterium radiobacter strains on stone fruit trees.	the effectiveness of agrobacterium radiobacter k84, 0341, and a k84 non-agrocin-producing mutant (k84 agr) in biological control of crown gall on rootstocks of stone fruit trees was determined in three experiments. in experiment 1, k84 and 0341 controlled crown gall on plum plants in soil inoculated with two strains of agrobacterium tumefaciens resistant to agrocin 84. in experiment 2, k84 controlled crown gall on peach plants in soils inoculated with strains of a. tumefaciens sensitive or resis ...	1989	16347881
