25. Role of homology in site-specific recombination of bacteriophage lambda: evidence against joining of cohesive ends.
Bacteriophage lambda integration and excision take place at specific loci called attachment sites. Earlier work has shown that efficient recombination requires the identical sequence to be present in both attachment sites throughout the seven-base-pair region between the points of strand exchange. A plausible model for the role of homology postulates that In

26. Architecture of the Nuclear Periphery of Rat Pachytene Spermatocytes: Distribution of Nuclear Envelope Proteins in Relation to Synaptonemal Complex Attachment Sites
The nucleus of spermatocytes provides during the first meiotic prophase an interesting model for investigating relationships of the nuclear envelope (NE) with components of the nuclear interior. During the pachytene stage, meiotic chromosomes are synapsed via synaptonemal complexes (SCs) and attached through both ends to the nuclear periphery. This associati

27. Growth Rate of Sphaerotilus in a Thermally Polluted Environment
In situ growth of Sphaerotilus on microscope slides immersed in a thermally polluted stream was studied. Ultraviolet radiation was used to differentiate between passive attachment of organisms from the water and growth of the organisms on the slides. Colonization of the slides in this environment took place solely by means of swarmer cells. A generation time

28. Parasitism by Virulent Treponema pallidum of Host Cell Surfaces
The interaction between virulent Treponema pallidum extracted from infected rabbit testes and animal cells in culture was examined. The extent of treponemal attachment to monolayers of normal rabbit testicular and HEp-2 cells was dependent upon the incubation temperature and retained motility of the spirochetes. The specific orientation of treponemes to host

29. Mechanisms of attachment of Mycoplasma arthritidis to host cells in vitro.
Although other investigators have reported that Mycoplasma arthritidis failed to attach to several types of mammalian cells in vitro, we showed that it attached well to rat synovial fibroblasts, lung cells, and skin cells but not to kidney cells, suggesting that receptor sites are unequally expressed or distributed among different rat tissues. M. arthritidis

30. Pseudorabies virus gIII and bovine herpesvirus 1 gIII share complementary functions.
The gIII glycoproteins of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) and of pseudorabies virus (PRV) are structurally homologous. Both proteins also play preeminent roles in mediating virus attachment to permissive cells. To directly compare the functional relation between these glycoproteins, we constructed a recombinant BHV-1 in which the BHV-1 gIII coding sequence was

31. RGD-dependent entry of coxsackievirus A9 into host cells and its bypass after cleavage of VP1 protein by intestinal proteases.
The recently reported nucleotide sequence of coxsackievirus A9 (CAV-9) showed that unlike other enteroviruses, CAV-9 has an insertion of about 17 amino acids at the C-terminal end of VP1 (K. H. Chang, P. Auvinen, T. Hyypiä, and G. Stanway, J. Gen. Virol. 70:3269-3280, 1989). This sequence includes the RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) motif which is know

32. Characterization of genetic elements required for site-specific integration of the temperate lactococcal bacteriophage phi LC3 and construction of integration-negative phi LC3 mutants.
The genetic elements required for the integration of the temperate lactococcal bacteriophage phi LC3 into the chromosome of its bacterial host, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, were identified and characterized. The phi LC3 phage attachment site, attP, was mapped and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of attP and of the bacterial attachment site, attB, as w

33. Intermediates in influenza induced membrane fusion.
Our results show that the mechanism by which influenza virus fuses with target membranes involves sequential complex changes in the hemagglutinin (HA, the viral fusion protein) and in the contact site between virus and target membrane. To render individual steps amenable to study, we worked at 0 degree C which decreased the rate of fusion and increased the e

34. Intramembrane translocation and posttranslational palmitoylation of the chloroplast 32-kDa herbicide-binding protein.
The 32-kDa herbicide-binding protein, a component of photosystem II, is synthesized as a membrane-associated 33.5-kDa precursor within the chloroplast. We show that membrane attachment of the precursor and processing to the 32-kDa form occur in the unstacked stromal lamellae. Once processed, the 32-kDa protein translocates, within the thylakoids, to the topo

35. Modulation of Cell-Substrate Adhesion by Arachidonic Acid: Lipoxygenase Regulates Cell Spreading and ERK1/2-inducible Cyclooxygenase Regulates Cell Migration in NIH-3T3 Fibroblasts
Adhesion of cells to an extracellular matrix is characterized by several discrete morphological and functional stages beginning with cell-substrate attachment, followed by cell spreading, migration, and immobilization. We find that although arachidonic acid release is rate-limiting in the overall process of adhesion, its oxidation by lipoxygenase and cy

36. Direction of active sliding of microtubules in Tetrahymena cilia.
Axonemes of protozoan (Tetrahymena thermophila BIII) cilia, isolated by the dibucaine method, were treated briefly with trypsin after removal of the ciliary membranes by treatment with Triton X-100. After attachment to polylysine-coated surfaces, the partially digested axonemes remained mainly intact cylinders. Such attached axonemes can be treated with ATP,
