    Notes: Abstract Film-forming aromatic polyimines were prepared by low temperature solution polymerization of aromatic dialdehyde and aromatic diamine usingm-cresol. The polymerization proceeded rapidly to give high molecular weight polyimine solutions. Fibrous polymers were precipitated by pouring the solutions into anhydrous methanol. Lemon yellow-to-orange films were cast in situ from the reaction solutions. The polymers showed typical C=N stretching absorption near 1620 cm−1 in infrared spectra and had high glass transitions of over 200

    Notes: Summary The expansion of trinucleotide repeats has been associated with late-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Although the genes harbouring the triplet expansions may be widely expressed, the pathological expression of these diseases is restricted to specific tissues. Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) shares several features with diseases resulting from such dynamic mutations including late-onset and specific but limited sites of tissue pathology — muscle, fat, liver and insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells. In order to examine the contribution of genes containing polymorphic CAG/CTG repeats to the development of NIDDM, we screened an adult human skeletal muscle cDNA library for expressed sequences containing tandem repeats of CAG and/or CTG. Ten different loci with polymorphic CAG/CTG repeats were identified, of which seven had a heterozygosity greater than 0.20. There was no evidence for linkage between these seven loci and NIDDM in a group of affected Mexican-American sib pairs. Nor was there a significant difference in the distribution of alleles between Caucasian patients with NIDDM and normal healthy control subjects or evidence for repeat expansion in diabetic subjects. Thus, muscle genes with polymorphic CAG/CTG repeats do not appear to play a significant role in the development of NIDDM.

    Notes: Abstract We have identified a new En/Spm-like transposable element, Tdc1, in the 5′ flanking region of a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene (gDcPAL1) that is normally induced by transferring cells of carrot suspension cultures to fresh liquid medium (transfer or dilution effect). The initial integration into gDcPAL1 occurred more than 4 years after culture initiation. Tdc1 was first detected in gDcPAL1 genomic clones of a genomic library made from cells of the same cultured cell line 7 years after its initiation and thus following repeated subculturing. Twelve years after initiation, about 5–10% of the cells had Tdc1 inserted into the gDcPAL1 gene, indicating that Tdc1 insertion into gDcPAL1 occurred in one (or more) cell(s) during the first 4–7 years of subculturing. These mutant cells did not disappear during numerous passages; instead the proportion of cells having this Tdc1 inserted into gDcPAL1 has been increasing over the last 5 years. The promoter activity and the inducibility by transfer/dilution of the gDcPAL1 gene harboring Tdc1 is reduced relative to wild type. Finally, we show that insertion of a transposable element is one of the mechanisms that can cause variation of plant cell cultures during repeated subculture.
