13. A Suppressor of Mating-Type Locus Mutations in SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE: Evidence for and Identification of Cryptic Mating-Type Loci
A mutation has been identified that suppresses the mating and sporulation defects of all mutations in the mating-type loci of S. cerevisiae. This suppressor, sir1–1, restores mating ability to matα1 and matα2 mutants and restores sporulation ability to matα2 and mata1 mutants. MATa sir1–1 strains exhibit a polar budding pattern and have reduced sensit

14. Nerve growth factor stimulates the hydrolysis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol in PC-12 cells: a mechanism of protein kinase C regulation.
Treatment of PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells with nerve growth factor (NGF) results in the differentiation of these cells into a sympathetic neuron-like phenotype. Although the initial intracellular signals elicited by NGF remain unknown, some of the cellular effects of NGF are similar to those of other growth factors, such as insulin. We have investigated the

15. Targeted disruption of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) and RAR gamma results in receptor-specific alterations in retinoic acid-mediated differentiation and retinoic acid metabolism.
F9 embryonic teratocarcinoma stem cells differentiate into an epithelial cell type called extraembryonic endoderm when treated with retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of retinol (vitamin A). This differentiation is presumably mediated through the actions of retinoid receptors, the RARs and RXRs. To delineate the functions of each of the different retinoid rece

16. Structural determinants for recognition and translocation by the anandamide transporter
The biological actions of anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide), an endogenous cannabinoid lipid, are terminated by a two-step inactivation process consisting of carrier-mediated uptake and intracellular hydrolysis. Anandamide uptake in neurons and astrocytes is mediated by a high-affinity, Na+-independent transporter that is selectively inhibited by N-(4-hyd

17. Site of action of the local anesthetic tetracaine in a phosphatidylcholine bilayer with incorporated cardiolipin.
Tetracaine (TTC) increases the permeability of phospholipid liposomal membranes to water, and this increase is reduced by the incorporation of cardiolipin into the membranes. We examined the molecular interaction of a phospholipid with the TTC cation in egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine (EyPC) liposomal membranes with incorporated bovine heart cardiolipin (BhCL)

18. Dissociation of the antimicrobial activity of bacitracin USP from its renovascular effects.
Bacitracin is a nephrotoxic antibiotic that has recently been shown to induce contractile effects in aortas isolated from rabbits by stimulating receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The possible renovascular actions of this antibiotic were investigated. Bacitracin USP increased the vascular resistance in a concentration-dependent manner (9 to 175 microg

19. The actions of some general anaesthetics on the potassium current of the squid giant axon.
A number of small organic molecules with general anaesthetic action have been examined for their effects on the voltage-dependent potassium current of the squid giant axon. They include representatives of the three classes of anaesthetics examined in previous studies on the sodium current (Haydon & Urban, 1983a, b, c), i.e. the non-polar molecules n-pentane,
