    Notes: Abstract In humans, the quantity of α-l-fucosidase in serum is determined by heredity. The mechanism controlling levels of the enzyme in serum is unknown. Lymphoid cell lines derived from individuals with either low, intermediate, or high α-l-fucosidase in serum were established. Steady-state levels of intracellular and extracellular α-l-fucosidase as well as rates of synthesis and secretion of enzyme overlapped among the cell lines. Thus,vivo} serum phenotypes were not expressed in this system. No appreciable differences in the qualitative processing of newly made α-l-fucosidase were observed among these lymphoid cell lines. Cells pulse-labeled with35S-methionine from 0.25 to 2 hr had an intracellular form of enzyme with aM r=58,000. Cells pulsed for 1.5 hr and chased for 21 hr with unlabeled methionine had an intracellular form ofM r=60,000 and an extracellular form ofM r=62,000. All three enzyme forms were glycoproteins with a common polypeptide chain ofM r=52,000 but with different carbohydrate moieties. No evidence for a high molecular mass precursor form of α-l-fucosidase was found. Fucosidosis is a rare, inherited disease in which α-l-fucosidase activity in tissues and body fluids is low or absent. The mutations for fucosidosis and the serum polymorphism map separately. Lymphoid cells from two siblings with fucosidosis had 8-fold to 341-fold less intracellular α-l-fucosidase protein with 11-fold to 56-fold lower specific activities than control cells. Residual mutant enzyme was a glycoprotein with a polypeptide chain virtually the same size (M r=52,000) as control enzyme. However, residual mutant enzyme was hypoglycosylated and hypersecreted as compared to control enzyme.

    Notes: Abstract The quantity of α-l-fucosidase activity in human serum is determined by heredity. An individual may inherit either low, intermediate, or high serum enzyme activity. An enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay has been developed that can detect 0.3 ng of α-l-fucosidase protein. Enzyme protein in serum of 102 individuals ranged from 20 to 835 ng/ml. The group included individuals with low, intermediate, and high enzyme activity. The specific activity of α-l-fucosidase within this group was statistically the same (mean±SD=11,002±1051 U/mg). Thus, individuals with low and intermediate enzyme activity in serum had lower amounts of enzyme protein with the same specific activity as in individuals with high enzyme activity. Fucosidosis is a rare inherited disease in which α-l-fucosidase activity in tissues and body fluids is low or absent. The concentrations of enzyme protein in sera of a fucosidosis patient and parents were 76, 565, and 604 ng/ml, respectively, and the specific activities of enzyme were 1316, 8938, and 8858 U/mg, respectively. Thus, the fucosidosis serum probably contained a structurally altered enzyme with reduced catalytic activity. The somewhat low specific activities in the parents suggested that their sera contained both structurally altered and normal protein.

    Notes: The heat denaturation of pepsinized bovine nonfibrillar and fibrillar collagen was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. For fibrillar preparations that had been rapidly precipitated with stirring at low ionic strength, then resuspended at physiological ionic strength, multiple denaturational transitions were observed. At heating rates of 10°C/min, melting endotherms occurred at about 44, 50, 53, and 57°C. Fibrillar collagen that was slowly gelled without stirring at physiological ionic strength exhibited a similar series of endotherms, but the lower melting transitions were less conspicuous. In contrast, nonfibrillar bovine collagen in acidic solution showed only a single denaturational transition at 40°C. Nonfibrillar solutions at pH 7, to which inhibitors of fibrillogenesis were added, showed a major endotherm as high as 46°C. These results suggest that reconstituted fibrillar collagen contains a heterogeneous fibril population, possibly including molecules in a nonfibrillar state. It was proposed that the multiple melting endotherms of such preparations were due to sequential melting of molecular and fibril classes, each with a distinct melting temperature. The fibrillar classes may represent three or more types of banded and nonbanded species that differ from each other in packing order, collagen concentration, and possibly also in fibril width and level of cross-linking.

    Notes: By use of agarose gel electrophoresis, the sieving of spherical particles in agarose gels has been quantitated and modeled for spheres with a radius (R) between 13.3 and 149 mm. For quantitation, the electrophoretic mobility has been determined as a function of agarose percentage (A). Because a previously used model of sieving [D. Rodbard and A. Chrambach (1970) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 65, 970-977] was found incompatible with some of these data, alternative models have been tested. By use of an underivatized agarose, two models, both based on the assumption of a single effective pore radius (PE) for each A, were found to yield PE values that were independent of R and that were in agreement with values of PE obtained independently (PE = 118 nm × A-0.74): sieving by altered hydrodynamics in a cylindrical tube of radius, PE, and sieving by steric exclusion from a circular hole of radius, PE. The same analysis applied to a 6.5% hydroxyethylated commercial agarose yileded a steeper PE vs A plot and also agreement of the above tow models with the data. The PE vs A plot was significantly altered by both further hydroxyethylation and factors that cause variation in the electro-osmosis found in commercial agarose.

    Notes: Homopolymers of myrcene and farnesene were prepared anionically in pure cyclohexane. The microstructure, determined from an analysis of the 13C-NMR spectrum and spin-lattice relaxation times, indicates the polymers are at least 85% cis-1,4, 10% cis-3,4, and under 3% trans-1,4.

    Notes: Five crown ethers with four ring oxygen atoms and different types of pendant groups were used to prepare ion-selective electrodes by coating a membrane containing the crown ether on the tip of a silver wire incorporated in a flow cell. A flow injection analysis study was conducted to determine the potentiometric selectivities of the crown ethers for lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium ions. It was found that crown ethers with neutral side arms show selectivities for lithium over other ions, while those of acidic side arms show selectivities for potassium over the other ions. The effect of the addition of trioctylphosphine oxide to the electrode matrix was also investigated. A comparison is made between the potentiometric selectivities of the crown ethers for certain metal ions and their selectivities in extracting the ions into an organic phase.

    Notes: Carboxy-terminated polybutadiene neutralized with Cu2+ (CuPBD) and its blend with poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) (SVP) were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The DSC results indicate that in the blend substantial mixing occurs in the CuPBD-rich phase, although complete miscibility is not achieved, and the SVP-rich phase remains relatively pure. The TEM micrographs indicate that the morphology, while irregular, is reasonably described as bicontinuous, with a domain size of order 100 nm. The SAXS patterns show that the ionic aggregates present in CuPBD are destroyed upon blending, which is interpreted as being due to steric hindrances between ionic groups coordinated to vinylpyridine nitrogens. The EXAFS radial structure function of the blend exhibits a marked decrease in the Cu-Cu peak in comparison with CuPBD, indicating a change in local structure upon blending. The results indicate that some of the SVP is miscible with CuPBD owing to complexation between the pendant pyridine groups and the Cu2+ ions, which disrupts the ionic aggregates. However, the two materials are not fully miscible, leading to a rather coarse two-phase morphology.

    Notes: X-ray diffraction, positron annihilation, electron microscopy and bulk density measurements are reported as a function of the degree of acetylation for a linters cotton. Heterogeneous reaction proceeds with a retention of ordered structure in the fibers. Substitution does increase the extent of disorder but is not sufficiently extensive to disrupt completely order at the fiber, fibril, micro fibril, and crystallite levels. The generation of disorder is associated with an increase in the interfibrillar distance, a breakup of the microfibrillar structure without a total disruption of the microcrystalline structure.

    Notes: Rapid fibroblast ingrowth and collagen deposition occurs in a reconstituted type I collagen matrix that is implanted on fullthickness excised animal dermal wounds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of direct current stimulation on dermal fibroblast ingrowth using carbon fiber electrodes incorporated into a collagen sponge matrix. Preliminary results suggest that fibroblast ingrowth and collagen fiber alignment are increased in collagen sponges stimulated with direct currents between 20 and 100 μA. Maximum fibroblast ingrowth into the collagen sponge is observed near the cathode at a current of 100 μA. These results suggest that electrical stimulation combined with a collagen matrix may be a method to enhance the healing of chronic dermal wounds.
