    Notes: Abstract  Escherichia coli RNA polymerase is composed of four different subunits, α (present in two copies), β, β′ and σ. Among these, the β′ polypeptide shares nine conserved regions with the largest subunits of eukaryotic RNA polymerases, but its role is poorly understood. We isolated novel mutations in a plasmid-borne copy of rpoC, which encodes β′, as dominant suppressors of two temperature-sensitive nusA alleles. All 20 suppressors of nusA11 (single missense mutation) isolated had either of two specific substitutions: Lys for Glu-402 (rpoC10) and Thr for Ala-904 (rpoC111) in the β′ subunit. In vivo and in vitro transcription assays revealed that the rpoC10 allele of β′ participates in Rho-dependent transcription termination. On the other hand, of 20 suppressors of nusA134 (deletion of C-terminal one-third) scattered at 18 distinct sites, 16 were assigned to one of six conserved regions C-I. These results suggested that the conserved domains of the β′ subunit of E. coli RNA polymerase are involved in transcript termination or interaction with termination factor(s).

    Notes: Abstract Activins, members of a family of proteins that includes transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), are gonadal polypeptide hormones that stimulate secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). During large-scale sequencing analysis of a 1.2-Mb fragment of human genomic DNA on 3p22–p21.3, we found the gene encoding activin receptor type IIB (hActR-IIB). Comparison of its reported cDNA sequence with this genomic sequence showed that the hActR-IIB gene consists of 11 exons and spans about 30 kb of genomic DNA.

    Notes: Abstract Comparative genomic hybridization was used to identify chromosomal imbalances in eight cell lines and 12 blood samples from patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). The chromosomes most often over-represented in the cell lines were 2p (6 cases), 7q (4 cases), and 14q (4 cases), with minimal common regions at 2p16-22, 7q21-36, and 14q32, respectively. Distinct imbalances were detected in only 7 of the clinical samples. Chromosomes 14q32 and 2p16-22 harbor TCL1 and a transcription factor, HTLF (human T-cell leukemia virus enhancer factor), respectively. FISH analysis revealed that TCL1 did not juxtapose to TCRA, and we detected no expression of TCL1 in any of the ATL cell lines despite the 14q32 amplifications. Moreover, expression of HTLF was not elevated in the ATL cell lines bearing multiplication of 2p. These results suggest that chromosomal regions 2p16-22 and 14q32 harbor genes other than HTLF and TCL1 that are involved in cellular immortalization or in the pathogenesis of ATL.
