[existence of an additional structural component in the basal bodies of escherichia coli and vibrio alginolyticus flagellae].the structure of escherichia coli and vibrio alginolyticus flagella was studied using electron microscopy. an additional protein structure was shown to exist in the basal bodies of intact flagella in these organisms. it is possible that this structure involves three proteins important for the assembly of flagella, energy transduction, and a change-over in the direction of flagellar rotation.19892695799
mechanism of lhrh-stimulated steroidogenesis in rat leydig cells: lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid may not be involved.luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist, [(imbzl)-dhis6,pro9,net]-lhrh (lhrh-a), caused a two to threefold increase in in vitro testosterone (t) secretion by rat leydig cells. this lhrh-a-induced t secretion was completely blocked by quinacrine and chloroquine, inhibitors of phospholipase a2. addition of phospholipase a2, however, was ineffective in stimulating basal or lhrh-a-induced t secretion. phospholipase c, on the other hand, significantly stimulated both basal and lhrh-a-induced t ...19892695506
respiratory na+ pump and na+-dependent energetics in vibrio alginolyticus.the marine bacterium vibrio alginolyticus was found to possess the respiratory na+ pump that generates an electrochemical potential of na+, which plays a central role in bioenergetics of v. alginolyticus, as a direct result of respiration. mutants defective in the na+ pump revealed that one of the two kinds of nadh: quinone oxidoreductase requires na+ for activity and functions as the na+ pump. the na+ pump composed of three subunits was purified and reconstituted into liposomes. generation of m ...19892687261
sodium-transport nadh-quinone reductase of a marine vibrio alginolyticus.the respiratory chain of a marine bacterium, vibrio alginolyticus, required na+ for maximum activity, and the site of na+ -dependent activation was localized on the nadh-quinone reductase segment. the na+ -dependent nadh-quinone reductase extruded na+ as a direct result of redox reaction. it was composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, with apparent mr of 52, 46, and 32 kda, respectively. the reduction of ubiquinone-1 to ubiquinol proceeded via ubisemiquinone radicals. the former reac ...19892687259
the sodium cycle: a novel type of bacterial energetics.the progress of bioenergetic studies on the role of na+ in bacteria is reviewed. experiments performed over the past decade on several bacterial species of quite different taxonomic positions show that na+ can, under certain conditions, substitute for h+ as the coupling ion. various primary na+ pumps (delta mu na+ generators) are described, i.e., na+ -motive decarboxylases, nadh-quinone reductase, terminal oxidase, and atpase. the delta mu na+ formed is shown to be consumed by na+ driven atp-syn ...19892687258
[poisoning by geromitra esculenta].gyromitra esculenta (persoon ex fries) mushrooms have been responsible for severe intoxications and even deaths. clinical data are characterized primarily by vomiting and diarrhoea, and, afterwhile, by jaundice, convulsions and coma. the species of concern are mainly g. esculenta, g. fastigiata and g. gigas; nevertheless, recent advances in chromatography, biochemistry and toxicology have established that other species within the ascomycetes may prove also toxic. the toxins, i.e. gyromitrin (n-m ...20092681713
