    Notes: Abstract Ras is a low-molecular-weight guanine nucleotide (GDP/GTP)-binding protein that transduces signals for growth and differentiation in eukaryotes. In mammals, the importance of Ras in regulating growth is underscored by the observation that activating mutations in ras genes are found in many animal tumors. Colletotrichum trifolii is a filamentous fungal pathogen of alfalfa which causes anthracnose disease. To investigate signaling pathways that regulate growth and development in this fungus, a gene encoding a Ras homolog (CT-Ras) was cloned from C. trifolii. CT-Ras exhibited extensive amino acid similarity to Ras proteins from higher and lower eukaryotes. A single amino acid change resulting in mutationally activated CT-Ras induced cellular transformation of mouse (NIH 3T3) fibroblasts and tumor formation in nu/nu mice. In Colletotrichum, mutationally activated CT-Ras induced abnormal hyphal proliferation and defects in polarized growth, and significantly reduced differentiation in a nutrient-dependent manner. These results show that C. trifolii Ras is a functional growth regulator in both mammals and fungi, and demonstrate that proper regulation of Ras is required for normal fungal growth and development.

    Notes: The relationships between equilibrium melting temperatures (Tm*) and crystalline morphology of poly[3,3bis(ethoxymethyl)oxetane], (polyBEMO), poly[3,3-bis (azidomethyl)oxetane], (polyBAMO), and poly(ethylene oxide), (PEO), were characterized. The Hoffman-Weeks extrapolation procedure led to Tm* values of 92, 102, and 69°C for these three polymers, respectively. The gross morphologies of polyBEMO, polyBAMO, and PEO were studied as a function of melt-liquid temperature (Ti) and isothermal crystallization temperature (Tc) by visible light microscopy. Spherulitic morphologies were observed for polyBEMO, polyBAMO, and PEO when Ti was above Tm*, while nonspherulitic (hedritic) morphologies were observed at Tls below Tm*. Mixed morphologies were observed when Tl was approximately equal to Tm*.
