13. Sequence-Specific Impairment of Memory Formation by NCAM Antisense Oligonucleotides
The functional role of NCAM gene expression in memory formation was studied in the one-trial passive avoidance task in day-old chicks by pretraining injections of one of three different 18-mer end-protected oligonucleotides corresponding to positions 190-, 207-, and 332- of the NCAM Ig1 domain. Twenty-four-hour-old chicks were trained by pecking at a bitter-

14. Cloning, nucleotide sequence, and regulation of the Bacillus subtilis pbpF gene, which codes for a putative class A high-molecular-weight penicillin-binding protein.
The partial nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding a Bacillus subtilis homolog to the Escherichia coli ponA gene, encoding penicillin-binding protein 1A, was previously reported. The remaining part of this gene, termed pbpF, was isolated, and its nucleotide sequence was completed. Deletion of this gene did not alter the profile of B. subtilis penicillin-bind

15. Stopped-flow cryoenzymology: detection of catalytic intermediates not observable at ambient temperatures.
Stopped-flow cryoenzymology has been used to study the reaction of porcine kidney cytosol leucine aminopeptidase [alpha-aminoacyl-peptide hydrolase(cytosol), EC 3.4.11.1] with L-leucylglycyldansyl hydrazide in 50% (vol/vol) methanol buffer over the -40 to 23 degrees C temperature range. Resonance energy transfer between tryptophan residues of the enzyme E an

16. GTP Hydrolysis Is Not Important for Ypt1 GTPase Function in Vesicular Transport
GTPases of the Ypt/Rab family play a key role in the regulation of vesicular transport. Their ability to cycle between the GTP- and the GDP-bound forms is thought to be crucial for their function. Conversion from the GTP- to the GDP-bound form is achieved by a weak endogenous GTPase activity, which can be stimulated by a GTPase-activating protein (GAP). Curr

17. Susceptibility of Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells to viral infection.
The susceptibility of the C6/36 clone of Aedes albopictus monolayer cell cultures was determined with 46 prototype viruses passed through three subcultures. Viral growth was confirmed by titration of the passage material in other susceptible host systems. Nineteen viruses demonstrated good growth in C6/36 cells: coxsackievirus group A type 10 and group B typ

18. Actions of caffeine on fast- and slow-twitch muscles of the rat.
1. The effects of caffeine (0.2-20 mmol l-1) have been examined on calcium transients (measured with aequorin) and isometric force in intact bundles of fibres from soleus (slow-twitch) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast-twitch) muscles of the rat. 2. At 25 degrees C, threshold caffeine concentration for an observable increase in resting [Ca2+]i was 0.2

19. ets-1 in astrocytes: expression and transmitter-evoked phosphorylation.
The ets-1 protein has been primarily studied as a sequence-specific transcriptional regulator that is predominately expressed in lymphoid cells. In this report, we show that ets-1 is also expressed in astrocytes and astrocytoma cells and is regulated during both signal transduction and differentiation. Both isoforms of ets-1, p51 and p42, were found in astro

20. Participation of Ethylene in Common Purslane Response to Dicamba 12
The responses of common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) plants to 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (dicamba) were found to be similar in many respects to ethylene fumigation effects. Dicamba and ethylene increased the permeability of cell membranes in purslane tissues. An increased efflux of electrolytes was observed in the bending region of the stems of

21. Aryl-l-Aminoacylamidase Activities in Extracts of Streptococcus durans
Two distinct enzymes with aryl-l-aminoacylamidase activity were found in cellular extracts of Streptococcus durans. One of these enzymes was strictly an arylamidase lacking any observable N-terminal exopeptidase activity. The other enzyme functioned as an aminopeptidase capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of a variety of l-peptide and arylamide substrates.

22. “Disaggregation” of Phytochrome in Vitro—A Consequence of Proteolysis 1
The relationship between a large molecular weight (9S) and a small molecular weight (4.5S, 60,000 molecular weight) species of phytochrome was examined to determine if the larger species was an aggregate of the smaller. Alterations of pH, salt concentration, or phytochrome concentration did not cause any observable formation of the large form from the small

23. Two adjuvant-active muramyl dipeptide analogs induce differential production of lymphocyte-activating factor and a factor causing distress in guinea pigs.
Many adjuvant-active analogs of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) have been described. Unfortunately, most have been found to induce pyrexia or other adverse side effects in several species. In the guinea pig, these side effects include the guinea pig distress syndrome, which lasts 24 to 48 h, and enhancement of endotoxin shock. A dose-related response to MDP or N-ace

24. pH modification of the effects of detergents on the stability of enteric viruses.
The effect of detergents on the stability of enteric viruses was found to be highly dependent on pH. This was demonstrated primarily with two ionic detergents, sodium dodecyl sulfate (an anionic detergent) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (a cationic detergent). Both detergents were shown to be potent virucidal agents for reovirus, but the effects of so
