    Notes: Abstract The aldA gene (encoding aldehyde dehydrogenase) of Escherichia coli is anaerobically repressed by ArcA-P, the phosphorylated response regulator of the ArcB/A two-component signal transduction system. The promoter region of aldA contains two 10-bp sequences (5′-TGTTAATTAA-3′) that perfectly match the proposed ArcA-P binding consensus (5′-[A/T]GTTAATTA[A/T]-3′). One consensus sequence is on the coding strand (−13 to −4 from the transcriptional start point), whereas the other is on the template strand (position −2 to −11). In this study we used the aldA promoter to test the validity of the proposed consensus sequence. DNase I protection experiments confirmed the 10-bp sequence to be a strong ArcA-P binding site. Alteration of the wild-type sequence from 5′-TGTTAATTAAC-3′ to 5′-TCTTAATTAAG-3′ or 5′-TATTAATTAAT-3′ by site-directed mutagenesis markedly decreased the in vitro affinity of the promoter region for ArcA-P, and abolished the anaerobic repression of mutant attλ::Φ (aldA′-lacZ) transcriptional reporter constructs. Both the in vitro and in vivo results therefore support the proposed consensus sequence.

    Notes: The entry of glycerol into isolated rat hepatocytes appears to be catalyzed by a specific carrier. At a physiological concentration of 0.1 mM, glycerol utilization is rate limited by the permeation step. Intracellular glycerol is trapped by an excess of glycerol kinase, which has a higher apparent affinity for the substrate than that of the membrane carrier. The entry of glycerol into the hepatocytes is highly sensitive to inhibition by monoacetin and cytochalasin B, but not by DL-1,2-propanediol, erythritol, D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, or D-fructose.

    Notes: By repeated selection for longer survival in an isotonic solution of glycerol, a stable subline of Novikoff rat hepatoma cells has been isolated. The cells exhibit markedly increased resistances to osmotic lysis in isotonic solutions of glycerl. They are twice as large and have twice as many chromosomes as cells of the parental line. It is suggested that the osmotic stress procedure can be extended for the selection of numerous kinds of mutants and can be used as a method of analysis of membrane properties.
