    Effects of cold shock and phospholipase A2 on intact boar spermatozoa and sperm head plasma membranes (1990)

    Notes: Head plasma membranes (HPM) isolated from cryopreserved boar spermatozoa show an excessive fluidization (Buhr et al., Gamete Res 23:441-449, 1989), which might be involved in the loss of fertility. The current study assessed the ability of cold shock (5°C) and phospholipase A2 (PA2) to duplicate these effects on membrane structure and to affect 45Ca2+ uptake and gross morphological characteristics of whole, fresh boar sperm. The HPM from cold-shocked sperm showed a significantly greater rate of fluidization over time than did HPM from control sperm. Addition of PA2 (bee or snake venom, 0.1 or 10.0 ng/ml) to HPM from control sperm caused fluidization similar to cold shocking, but to a lesser degree (P 〈 0.05). Cold-shocked intact sperm exhibited severe acrosomal disruption, loss of motility, and increased 45Ca2+ uptake relative to control sperm. Addition of PA2 (bee or snake venom, 0.1, 1.0., 10.0, and 1,000 ng/ml) to control sperm had not effect on gross morphology or motility while maintaining or increasing sperm extrusion of 45Ca2+. Therefore, although PA2 can, to some extent, duplicate the effects of cold shock on HPM molecular organization, its lipid hydrolytic action is insufficient to cause all the gross disruptions of severe thermal shock. Both PA2 and cold shock disrupted HPM structure, but only cold shock increased 45Ca2+ uptake, suggesting that cold shock may be increasing 45Ca2+ uptake in areas other than the head. Cold shock disrupts sperm on three levels; membrane molecular organization, intracellular Ca2+ regulation, and gross morphology/motility.

    Modeling the population dynamics of baculovirus-infected insect cells: Optimizing infection strategies for enhanced recombinant protein yields (1992)

    Notes: The insect cell-baculovirus model presented here is capable of simulating cell population dynamics, extracellular virion densities, and heterologous product titers in reasonable agreement with experimental data for a wide rang of multiplicities of infection (MOI) and times of infection. The model accounts for the infection of a single cell by multiple virions and the consequences on the time course of infection. The probability of infection by more than one virion was approximated using the Poisson distribution, which proved to be a refinement over second-order kinetics. The model tracks initiation and duration of important events in the progression of infected cell development (virus replication, recombinant protein synthesis, and cell lysis) for subpopulations delineated by the time and extent of their initial infection. The model suggests infection strategies, weighing the importance of MOI and infection time. Maximum product titers result from infection in the early exponential growth phase with low MOI.

    Notes: Gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitated β-galactosidase and polyhedrin-β-galactosidase expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with recombinant Autograph californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus revealed the existence of a population of discrete β-galactosidase polypeptides. Several of the polypeptides observed in the fusion protein expression experiments exhibit a consistent pattern of slightly greater molecular weight when compared to the nonfusion β-galactosidase that is compatible with the hypothesis that these fusion protein fragments retain the N-terminal polyhedrin residues. Pulse-chase experiments showed that overall β-galactosidase degradation occurred at a negligible rate compared to the synthesis rate at 96 h postinfection, yet the fragments are observed for short pulse times. Degradation of several different β-galactosidase polypeptides was observed 24 h postinfection. Ribonucleic acid hybridization analysis of lacZ transcripts shows significant heterogeneity that may result from premature transcription termination. Although a proteolytic origin cannot be excluded, the data assembled suggest that premature termination of transcription or translation is the likely cause for the heterogeneous population of immunoreactive peptides observed. Many discrete forms of β-galactosidase polypeptides were also observed in studies with Escherichia coli, indicating that production of these heterogeneous forms is not a consequence of heterologous expression of the enzyme.
