    Notes: Abstract Type 2A serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP2A) are key components in the regulation of signal transduction and control of cell metabolism. The activity of these protein phosphatases is modulated by regulatory subunits. While PP2A activity has been characterized in plants, little is known about its regulation. We used the polymerase chain reaction to amplify a segment of a cDNA encoding the B regulatory subunit of PP2A from Arabidopsis. The amplified DNA fragment of 372 nucleotides was used as a probe to screen an Arabidopsis cDNA library and a full-length clone (AtBα) of 2.1 kbp was isolated. The predicted protein encoded by AtBα is 43 to 46% identical and 53 to 56% similar to its yeast and mammalian counterparts, and contains three unique regions of amino acid insertions not present in the animal B regulatory subunit. Genomic Southern blots indicate the Arabidopsis genome contains at least two genes encoding the B regulatory subunit. In addition, other plant species also contain DNA sequences homologous to the B regulatory subunit, indicating that regulation of PP2A activity by the 55 kDa B regulatory subunit is probably ubiquitous in plants. Northern blots indicate the AtBα mRNA accumulates in all Arabidopsis tissues examined, suggesting the protein product of the AtBα gene performs a basic housekeeping function in plant cells.

    Notes: Abstract We have indentified a novel gene (AtBβ) encoding a previously uncharacterized isoform of the B regulatory subunit of the type 2A serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP2A) of Arabidopsis, and show that mRNA derived from the AtBβ gene accumulates in all Arabidopsis organs. In addition, we examined the expression of the three genes encoding the A regulatory subunit of Arabidopsis PP2A and show these genes are expressed in all organs as well. Taken together, our results suggest a myriad of PP2A subunit combinations, possibly with distinct substrate specificities, may occur within each Arabidopsis cell.

    Notes: Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Columbia wild type and a root hair-less mutant RM57 were grown on iron-containing and iron-deficient nutrient solutions. In both genotypes, ferric chelate reductase (FCR) of intact roots was induced upon iron deficiency and followed a Michaelis-Menten kinetic with a K m of 45 and 54 μM FeIII-EDTA and a V max of 42 and 33 nmol Fe2+·(g FW)−1·min−1 for the wild type and the mutant, respectively. The pH optimum for the reaction was around pH 5.5. The approximately four fold stimulation of FCR activity was independent of formation of root hairs and/or transfer cells induced by iron deficiency. Iron-deficiency-induced chlorosis and the development of a rigid root habit disappeared when ferric chelate was applied to the leaves, while FCR activity remained unchanged. The time course of the responses to iron deficiency showed that morphological and physiological responses were controlled separately.

    Notes: Fluorescence, CD, absorption, and 1H-nmr studies are reported for complexes of 7-amino-actinomycin D with deoxydinucleotides, deoxytetranucleotides, and poly(dG-dC)· poly(dG-dC). The optical spectra for the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex with pdG-dC, pdG-dC-dG-dC and pdC-dG-dC-dG are similar in shape to the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex with either DNA or poly(dG-dC). The changes in the 1H chemical shifts of the 7-amino-actinomycin D and the pdG-dC resonances that accompany complex formation show that 7-amino-actinomycin D forms a minature intercalated complex with two pdG-dC molecules. The magnitudes of the induced chemical shifts for the 7-amino-actinomycin D complex formation with pdG-dC are similar to, but slightly different from, the induced chemical shifts which are obtained when actinomycin D forms a minature intercalated complex with two pdG-dC molecules. The pdN-dG dinucleotides (N = C, A, or T) form stacked complexes with 7-amino-actinomycin D. The presence of the 7-amino-group results in a larger dimerization constant (in aqueous solution) for 7-amino-actinomycin D [KD(6°C) = 4.4 × 103M-1], as compared to actinomycin D [KD(6°C) = 1.7 × 103M-1]; the chemical shifts which accompany dimer formation indicate that the chromophores stack in an inverted manner. Intercalation of 7-amino-actinomycin D into minature double helices, as well as into calf thymus DNA, poly(dG-dC)·poly(dG-dC), and poly(dA-dC)·poly(dG-dT), results in an enhancement of the relative fluorescence intensity and a shift in both the absorbance and corrected emission spectra.

    Notes: The small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique has been applied to investigate solution and gel structures of alginate in the absence and presence of two divalent cations: Ca(II) and Cu(II). We have observed a broad maximum in the scattering curve, a characteristic of polyelectrolyte, for the purified alginate sample. The scattering maximum disappears in excess of added simple salt and shifts toward the higher angle region with increasing alginate concentration. Concentration dependence of the position and intensity of the maximum follows power law relations with exponents close to those predicted by theory. Data analysis shows an increase in correlation length ξ and cross-sectional diameter d0, of polymer chains upon gelation and suggests that a dimeric structure is adopted in the junction zone, consistent with the “egg-box” model previously proposed. In the Ca(II)-alginate system, the molecular parameters ξ and d0 are found to have good correlation with the macroscopic properties of gelation, such as gel point determined by viscosity measurements. However, for the Cu(II)-alginate system there is no clearly transitional behavior observed in ξ and d0, implying that the junction zone may be replaced by a more uniformly distributed site binding of Cu(II) ions to the carboxyl groups of both mannuronate and guluronate residues, in confirmation of previous 13C-nmr results. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: As an extension of previous studies on the total synthesis of (2R,4′R,8′R)-α-tocopherol (1) [1] [2], (S)-(-)-2-(6-benzyloxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman)acetic acid (6), a pivotal intermediate, possessing the absolute configuration required for construction of 1 was prepared by optical resolution of the racemic modification 11. the latter substance was obtained by two routes, one emanating from the hydroxy acetal 7 [1] and the other based upon the Lewis acid mediated cycloaddition of trimethylhydroquinone to rac.-3-hydroxy-3-methylpent-4-en-l-yl acetate (16) giving rac. ethyl 2-(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman)acetate (12).

    Notes: The thermal properties of two ferrocene derivatives, substituted by either one or two cholesteryloxycarbonyl units, were investigated. While the monosubstituted ferrocene derivative 1 was found to be non-mesomorphic, the disubstituted ferrocene derivative 2 exhibited a crystal smectic-B phase. This result shows that ferrocene-containing thermotropic liquid crystals, despite the bulkiness of the metallocene core, are not limited to disordered calamitic phases.

    Notes: It is shown that supermolecules with a tetrahedral symmetry and appropriate side-chains exhibit liquid-crystalline phase behaviour. The use of an optimised hydrosylation reaction allows for the synthesis of materials that have four mesogenic groups attached to a siloxane core, where the conformation and the configuration are unambiguous. The materials show low glass transition temperatures and, depending on the spacer length, complex liquid-crystalline morphologies.

    Notes: This paper describes a novel application of thermomechanical analysis. Observation and measurement of the thermal recovery of stresses induced in oriented PVC by stretching at elevated temperature is achieved by the modification of a commercial TMA instrument. Employment of an electronic signal differentiation system, in combination with this instrument, permits the simultaneous recording of the rate of shrinkage as a function of temperature. Specific examples are given which demonstrate the performance of the instrument and illustrate its application to problems of practical interest, such as effects of stretching and annealing conditions on shrinkage behavior.

    Notes: The new polymerisation monomer bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)aminophenyl]-phenylphosphine oxide (p-BAPPO) was prepared in good yield by the nucleophilic substitution reaction between bis(4-fluorophenyl)phenylphosphine oxide and a large excess of 1,2-diaminoethane. Five novel polyamides, incorporating phosphine oxide groups within the polymer backbone were synthesised by the condensation reaction of p-BAPPO with a series of aromatic and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. The thermal properties of these polymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Glass transition temperatures in the 180-215°C range were recorded. Although we observed their thermooxidative stabilities (5% weight loss 〉 345°C) to be lower by 40-70°C than those previously found for wholly aromatic polyamides with phosphine oxide groups within the parent chain, char yields upon prolonged heating at 650°C were still excellent (26-38%). Also, good solubility in aprotic polar solvents was observed for all polyamides synthesised. The new polyamides clearly represent significant progress in the quest for processible fire retardant materials. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 2865-2870, 1997
