    Notes: Protoplasts were isolated from two mutant cell lines of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Gatersleben and fused with the aid of polyethylene glycol. Both mutants lacked nitrate reductase and were thus auxotrophic for reduced nitrogen. The fusion resulted in a high frequency of hybrid cells which were detected by their regained ability to grow in media containing nitrate as sole nitrogen source. Thus, the two mutants were found to complement each other in the hybrids. In control experiments, back mutation and cross-feeding were excluded as possible explanations for the occurrence of cell lines utilizing nitrate. A total of 1061 hybrid lines capable of sustained proliferation were isolated. Some of them were further characterized with respect to nitrate reductase activity, chlorate sensitivity, chromosome number, and shoot formation.The results demonstrate that protoplast fusion can be used for the genetic analysis of cell variants of higher plants and that nitrate reductase-deficient mutants provide efficient selective systems for hybrid cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Samen vonArabidopsis thaliana wurden mit Äthylmethansulfonat (EMS) behandelt. Es wurde die Abhängigkeit des Effekts von folgenden Faktoren untersucht: EMS-Konzentration, Behandlungszeit, Dauer der Nachquellperiode, Temperatur während der Behandlung und während des Nachquellens, Rücktrocknung der behandelten Samen, und Hydrolyse der Behandlungslösung. Die untersuchten Kriterien waren: Wachstumsrate der Primärwurzeln und andere somatische Effekte, Fertilität der M1-Pflanzen, Frequenz der rezessiven Letalmutationen (embryonale Letalmutationen und Chlorophyllmutationen). Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse sind: 1. Sowohl die Frequenz der Chlorophyllmutationen als auch die Frequenz der embryonalen Letalmutationen erhöht sich in exponentieller Abhängigkeit von der Dosis (n≈2). Das gilt unabhängig davon, ob die EMS-Konzentration oder die Behandlungszeit variiert wird. 2. Mutationsfrequenz, Sterilität und Wurzellängenreduktion erhöhen sich mit steigender Behandlungstemperatur. Für den geprüften Bereich (18° bis 36 °C) wurde ein Temperaturquotient vonQ 10=2,6 gefunden. 3. Die Steigerung der Mutationsfrequenz wird nur durch die Verringerung der Fertilität der M1-Pflanzen und nicht durch eine Verringerung des Überlebens begrenzt. Die Relationen zwischen Mutationsfrequenz, Sterilitätsgrad und Wurzellängenreduktion werden von Änderungen der Behandlungsbedingungen nicht beeinflußt. 4. Mutationsfrequenz, Sterilität und Wurzellängenreduktion sind unabhängig von der Dauer des Quellens der behandelten Samen in Wasser unter partiell anaeroben Bedingungen. Eine Verzögerung des Keimbeginns bis zu 4 Tagen nach der Behandlung hat keinen Einfluß auf die Mutationsfrequenz. 5. Durch Erhöhung der Temperatur während einer Periode von 6 h nach Behandlungsschluß werden Mutationsfrequenz, Sterilität und Wurzellängenreduktion gesteigert. 6. Der durch Trocknung der behandelten Samen verursachte Schaden wird durch 11stündiges Quellen der Samen in Wasser vor der Trocknung vollständig aufgehoben. 7. Die Effektivität von partiell hydrolysierten EMS-Lösungen entspricht der Konzentration des EMS. Der durch die Hydrolyseprodukte verursachte physiologische Schaden ist ohne praktische Bedeutung. 8. Die Beziehungen zwischen verschiedenen Maßen der Mutationsfrequenz (Frequenz der spaltenden Pflanzennachkommenschaften, Frequenz der spaltenden Schotennachkommenschaften, Frequenz der M2-Mutanten) wurden analysiert. U. a. wird gezeigt, daß zwischen der Frequenz der M2-Mutanten (m c ) und der ursprünglichen Mutationsfrequenz keine direkte Proportionalität besteht.
    Notes: Summary Seeds ofArabidopsis thaliana were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). The dependence of the effect on the following factors was studied: EMS concentration, length of treatment, duration of posttreatment soaking, temperature during treatment and during post-treatment soaking, drying of the treated seeds and hydrolysis of treatment solution. The criteria studied included growth rate of primary roots and other somatic effects, fertility of M1 plants, frequency of recessive lethals (embryonic lethals and chlorophyll mutations). The main results are: 1. With increasing dose the frequency of chlorophyll mutations and the frequency of embryonic lethals increase exponentially (n≈2). This applies to variation of EMS concentration as well as to variation in treatment time. 2. Mutation frequency, sterility and root length reduction increase with rising treatment temperature. For the range tested (18°–36°C) a temperature quotient ofQ 10=2.6 was found. 3. The increase in mutation frequency is limited only by the decrease in fertility of M1 plants and not by a decrease in survival. The relationships between mutation frequency, degree of sterility and root length reduction are not influenced by changes in treatment conditions. 4. Mutation frequency, sterility and root length reduction are independent of the duration of soaking the treated seeds in water under partially anaerobic conditions. Delaying the start of germination up to 4 days after treatment does not influence the mutation frequency. 5. By raising the temperature during a period of 6 hrs. after treatment mutation frequency, sterility and root length reduction are increased. 6. The damage caused by drying seeds after EMS treatment is prevented completely by soaking the treated seeds in water for 11 hrs. before drying. 7. The effectiveness of partially hydrolyzed EMS solutions corresponds to the concentration of EMS. Physiological damage caused by the hydrolysis products is without practical significance. 8. The relations between various measures of mutation frequency (frequency of segregating plant progenies, frequency of segregating pod progenies, frequency of M2 mutants) have been analyzed. Among other things it is shown that there is no direct proportionality between the frequency of M2 mutants (m c ) and the initial mutation frequency.

    Notes: Abstract  DNA methylation plays an important part in the regulation of gene expression. Alterations in DNA methylation in tumours have been reported and have been used to generate hypotheses about mutagenesis and silencing of tumour suppressor genes. However, the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood, and conflicting data on the levels of overexpression of 5′-cytosine DNA methyltransferase in sporadic colon carcinoma have been published. We used a competitive RT-PCR assay for quantification of mRNA of 5′-cytosine DNA methyltransferase in colon biopsies obtained from patients with hereditary colon carcinoma syndromes and compared the results with those obtained in a control group. No significant difference was found between the flat mucosa of FAP patients and the mucosa of the control group. In FAP and HNPCC patients, the 5′-cytosine DNA methyltransferase mRNA levels of adenomas were significantly higher (P〈0.05) than of flat mucosa in the same group, but both showed great variability from patient to patient. Our findings suggest that the mRNA levels of methyltransferase cannot be used as predictive marker for screening in families affected by hereditary colon carcinoma.

    Notes: Abstract The morphology of a series of highland volcanoes found on the floor of the crater Palisa is similar to that of mare volcanoes. The superposition of the cones and craters indicate that this volcano complex had a complex, multiphase history of development. A blanket of relatively dark ash, which is between 4 and 13 km wide, is observed surrounding these volcanoes.

    Notes: Abstract A mathematical investigation of the alignment of the craters of the four best preserved lunar linear crater chains, which lack the characteristics expected if they were of secondary impact origin, shows that, first, the craters lie along the distinct lines with very small deviations. This suggests that the craters were formed along deep crustal fissures. Second, the strikes of the lines or fissures indicate that they are reactivated lunar grid system structures. Third, the morphology of the craters is similar to that of volcanic diatremes. These results, especially the excellent geometric alignment of the craters along the lines, all indicate that these linear crater chains are of volcanic origin.

    Notes: Abstract A construction of a quantum analogue of principal bundles is discussed. Deformations of quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz allow to relax the condition of local triviality of a principal bundle; the fibres need not be all identical any longer. This leads to deformations of structure group and bundles. There is still a classifying space in the sense that homotopy classes of bundles are classified by homotopy classes of maps from the base space into the classifying space.

    Notes: Abstract Two nitrate reductase-deficient mutant cell lines (CnxA68/2, CnxA101) of Nicotiana tabacum are shown to be repairable under in-vitro conditions by (i) molybdate or (ii) by preparations of active molybdenum cofactor of homologous or heterologous origin, thereby yielding about 20% and 80%, respectively, of the corresponding wild-type NADH-nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) activity. In-vitro repair of nitrate reductase activity is dependent on sulphydryl-group protecting reagents and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the extraction medium, the nitrogen source in the growth medium and the age of the cells. The results support the conclusion that the cnxA gene controls the insertion of molybdenum into the molybdenum cofactor. They are consistent with the idea of two interlinked pathways for the metabolic processing of molybdenum acquisition, one involving the synthesis of the structural moiety of the molybdenum cofactor and the other involving processing of the molybdate anion.

    Notes: Abstract  A new polymorphic form of glutathione S-transferase (GST), metabolising monohalogenated methanes, ethylene oxide and dichloromethane, has been purified from human erythrocytes and characterized. Several characteristics, such as similar elution patterns on different chromatographic matrices, KM-values and activity towards antibodies, confirm a previous assumption that this novel GST is a class θ enzyme. Although the presence or absence of the enzyme activity in human red blood cells is parallel with the polymorphism of the human GST T1 gene, the new GST θ in red blood cells may differ from the known GST T1-1 enzyme from other tissues in terms of substrate specificity, since established GST T1-1 substrates [1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitro-phenoxy)propane and p-nitrobenzyl chloride] are not metabolized. The substrate specifity of the new enzyme in erythrocytes resembles more closely that of GST T2-2, most likely due to a common N-terminal modification which modifies substrate binding. The new polymorphic GST-isoform in human red blood cells therefore may be considered to represent an N-terminally modified isoform of GST T1-1.

    Notes: Abstract A hitherto unknown glutathione-S-transferase in human erythrocytes displays polymorphism: three quarters of the population (“conjugators”) possess, whereas one quarter (“non-conjugators”) lack this specific activity. A standard method for the identification of conjugators and non-conjugators with the use of methyl bromide and gas chromatography (head space technique) is described. Three substrates of the polymorphic enzyme, methyl bromide, ethylene oxide and dichloromethane (methylene chloride), were incubated in vitro with individual whole blood samples of conjugators and non-conjugators. All three substances led to a marked increase of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in the lymphocytes of the non-conjugators but not in those of conjugators. A protective effect of the glutathione-S-transferase activity in human erythrocytes for the cytogenetic toxicity of these chemicals in vitro is thus confirmed. Since the enzyme activity is not found in erythrocytes of laboratory animals, species extrapolations for risk assessment of methyl bromide, ethylene oxide and dichloromethane should be reconsidered.
