    Notes: Abstract Membranes from Bacillus caldotenax contain neutral lipids and phospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol and cardiolipin. Each of the lipids has almost the same fatty acid composition. When the growth temperature decreases, not only the fatty acid composition but also the lipid composition changes such that the membrane fluidity increases, and the composition of membrane-bound proteins also changes. On shifting the growth temperature from 65° to 45°C, the bacterium grows immediately with a doubling time at 45°C, but the compositions of proteins and lipids in membranes gradually change and reach the compositions typical of cells growing at 45°C one doubling time after the temperature shift, respectively. It is concluded that the change in chemical composition of membrane of the bacterium on the temperature shift from 65° to 45°C is not prerequisite for growth at 45°C.

    Notes: Abstract Two types of rat mannose-binding proteins (MBPs), MBP-A (serum type) and MBP-C (liver type), have similar binding specificity for monosaccharide and similar binding site construct according to the X-ray structure, but exhibit different affinity toward natural oligosaccharides and glycoproteins. To understand the basis for this phenomenon, we used cloned fragment of MBP-A and -C (entire carbohydrate-recognition domain and a short connecting piece) that exists as stable trimers in various binding studies. Binding of a number of mannose-containing di- and tri-saccharides and high-mannose type oligosaccharides indicated that MBP-C has an extended binding area of weak interaction with the second and the third mannose residues, whereas MBP-A recognizes just a single mannose residue. In addition, MBP-C has a weak secondary binding site some 25 Å away from the primary site. These findings explain the higher affinity of MBP-C for natural high-mannose type oligosaccharides as compared to MBP-A. A huge affinity differential manifested by natural glycoproteins (e.g., inhibitory potency of thyroglobulin is ~200 fold higher for MBP-C than for MBP-A in a solid-phase assay) may be due to steric hindrance experienced by MBP-A in the competition assay, and suggests different arrangement of subunit in the MBP trimers.

    Notes: A simple and rapid analytical method for detecting interaction between loigosaccharides of glycoproteins and different lectins was studies by surface plasmon resonance using a biosensor (BIA coreTM). The interactions of three lectins, Smambucus Sieboldiana agglutinin (SSA), Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA I) and Concanavalin A (Con A) for fetuni and digested fetuins wiht glycosidases, asialo-, agalacto-, and aglucosamino-fetuin, were investigated as a model system. These fetuins were immobilized to the matrix of the sensor chip and the lectins were injected into the sensor chip cartridge. The association and dissociation reactions could be monitored as resonance signals in real time. The interactions with lectins significantly changed as the oligosaccharides of fetuins were trimmed. The interactions between fetuin and SSA, asialofetuin and RCAI, and aglucosaminofetuin and Con A show the highest affinity properties, respectively. The association constants of these lectins were estimated to be 1.4 × 107, 1.9 × 108 and 5.3 × 107 (M-1), respectively. These results suggested that the interactions between lectins and glycoproteins could be well defined in real time and kinetically, and that the partial structure of oligosaccharides of glycoproteins can be estimated by determination of the interactions with various lectins after glycosidase digestions using the biosensor.
