    Notes: The genes coding for the binding-protein-dependent lactose transport system and β-galactosidase in Agrobacterium radiobacter strain AR50 were cloned and partially sequenced. A novel lac operon was identified which contains genes coding for a lactose-binding protein (lacE), two integral membrane proteins (lacF and lacG), an ATP-binding protein (lacK) and β-galactosidase (lacZ). The operon is transcribed in the order lacEFGZK, The operon is controlled by an upstream regulatory region containing putative -35 and -10 promoter sites, an operator site, a CRP-binding site probably mediating catabolite repression by glucose and galactose, and a regulatory gene (lacl) encoding a repressor protein which mediates induction by lactose and other galactosides in wild-type A. radiobacter (but not in strain AR50, thus allowing constitutive expression of the lac operon). The derived amino acid sequences of the gene products indicate marked similarities with other binding-protein-dependent transport systems in bacteria.

    Notes: Summary Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) has been described in only six patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Herein we describe an additional patient with HCL and disseminated histoplasmosis. Additionally, we note that three of seven cases of disseminated histoplasmosis and HCL have occurred in East Texas. PDH is to be suspected in febrile HCL patients in an endemic area who fail to respond to antibacterial therapy. We emphasize that serologic studies are useful in the diagnosis of PDH in HCL patients, and these patients respond well to therapy.

    Notes: Abstract Pristane is a naturally occurring isoprenoid which is believed to be derived from the phytyl moiety of chlorophyll. Thus it is not surprising that pristane is present in many common fruits or vegetables and furthermore can be detected in tissues of fish and mammals. Using the rat as an animal model, pristane can function as a potent tumor promoter. It is conceivable that pristane could play a role in the development of certain malignancies in higher mammals since it is commonly found in the diet. At the molecular level, pristane can induce changes in the plasma membrane, alter the conformation of chromatin, as well as selectively activate gene expression. This study was undertaken to identify specific transcriptional motifs which are responsive to pristane. A transcriptional promoter which contained a cAMP response element (CRE) was consistently stimulated by pristane in several mouse and primate cell lines. A promoter construct which contained a single copy of the TPA response element (TRE) was also activated by pristane but surprisingly a promoter which contained multiple copies of the TRE was not. Activation of the TRE required 10 fold higher concentrations of pristane relative to activation of the CRE. Within two hours after addition of pristane to monkey fibroblasts (CV-1) levels of cAMP were increased more than two fold relative to controls. These data indicated that pristane can increase the level of cAMP in CV-1 cells and consequently stimulate transcriptional promoters which contain a CRE.

    Notes: Abstract The PVT format described here has been designed to store and retrieve genetic data on plasmids, viruses or transposons with special focus on their applications. Both naturally-occurring and engineered elements can be included in it. A variety of data can be accommodated in fields that are grouped in blocks: name and type of element, database administration, element administration, history, propagation, selection and host, biological properties, cloned insert and applications. The number of fields, now 157, can be expanded as required. Most properties can be described in simple logical fields. The format is organized to permit rapid searches and to facilitate communication between database and user; connection with culture and/or DNA collections is also envisaged and adequate fields for these tasks have been provided. The format allows cross-reference with that originated by the Microbial Information Network Europe (MINE) for computer storage and handling of bacterial or fungal strain data.

    Notes: Summary Two female siblings were treated for acute neonatal hyperammonaemia due to complete carbamyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency. The first child was detected clinically at 65 hours of age and therapy started at 79 hours. The second child was followed from birth and therapy started at 5 hours of age. The extrapolated rate of increase of blood ammonia, in the first hours of life before therapy started, was 19 µmol L−1 h−1 in both babies. Peak blood ammonia level was 2235 µmol/L in the first (clinically detected) child and 271 µmol/L in the second (prospectively followed) child. The second child became symptomatic at 3 hours of age when blood ammonia level was as low as 90 µmol/L, whereas blood ammonia levels above 100 µmol/L caused no symptoms during recovery. The child detected clinically required haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis to treat the hyperammonaemia. In the prospectively treated child, early therapy with intravenous sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate slowed the rate of increase in blood ammonia level, but this therapy did not prevent the need for peritoneal dialysis.

    Notes: Summary An improved method has been developed for the determination of fungal spore counts using a haemocytometer. The method uses a personal computer with a frame grabber card and commercial imaging software. Semi-automation using an iterative programming technique was implemented to count the spores produced byPhanerochaete chrysosporium. Rapid and reliable counts were achieved using image processing.

    Notes: A secreted form of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is thought to play an important role in inflammatory diseases. To characterize this enzyme the cDNA encoding a low molecular weight PLA2 was cloned from a human placental cDNA library. The cDNA encoding the human PLA2 was subcloned into an expression vector and subsequently transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. A stable CHO cell clone, secreting ca I mg/L of recombinant PLA2 into the medium, was scaled up in culture to 180L. The recombinant enzyme was purified from the cell supernatant to apparent homogeneity by a novel procedure combining adsorption to poly(vinylidene difluoride) membranes, ion exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography. The final recovery of PLA2 activity was 58%. A direct comparison between the purified recombinant human PLA2 and PLA2 purified from human synovial fluid, including molecular weight, antigenicity, ionic dependence, substrate specificity and sensitivity to know PLA2 inhibitors, indicated that the two enzymes exhibit identical biochemical properties. These results show that the recombinant PLA2 can be efficiently expressed and purified in sufficient quantities to characterize the enzyme active site, to aid in the rational development of PLA2 inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory drugs, and to investigate further the role of PLA2 in inflammatory disease.
