    Notes: Summary A 26-year-old patient presented with epigastric pain of sudden onset and severe puffy swelling of both legs and forearms. An irregularly shaped nodular filling defect on selective jejunal films, severe hypoproteinemia, low IgG concentration, and lymphopenia were suggestive of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia with protein-losing enteropathy, and the patient was placed on a low-fat diet with medium-chain triglycerides. This initially improved his condition, but some weeks later he developed obstructive ileus of the small intestine. On laparotomy yellowish to whitish deposits were found to be present in some segments of the small intestine and a fist-sized mass 100 cm distal to the duodenojejunal flexure was resected without complications. Histologically, the submucosal lymphatics were dilated, and the jejunal wall showed extensive pseudocystic, intramural submucosal lymph edema with secondary bleeding and tight stenosis of the jejunal lumen. During the 14-month follow-up time after discharge the patient has been asymptomatic and working, on no treatment other than a low-fat diet with medium-chain triglycerides.

    Notes: Abstract The geographic distribution and origin of CFTR mutations in Germany was evaluated in 658 three-generation families with cystic fibrosis (CF). Fifty different mutations were detected on 1305 parental CF chromosomes from 22 European countries and overseas. The major mutation ΔF508 was identified on 71.5% of all CF chromosomes, followed by R553X (1.8%), N1303K (1.3%), G542X (1.1%), G551D (0.8%) and R347P (0.8%). According to the grandparents’ birthplace, 74% of CF chromosomes had their origin in Germany; the ΔF508 percentage was 77%, 75%, 70% and 62% in northern, southern, western and eastern Germany, respectively. Ten or more mutant alleles in the investigated CF gene pool originated from Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Turkey and the Ukraine. This widespread geographic origin of CFTR mutations in today’s Germany reflects the many demographic changes and migrations in Central Europe during the 20th century.

    Notes: Abstract The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene of 110 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from the south-west of Germany was screened for 12 different mutations. This analysis resulted in an identification of 79% of all CF mutations and a complete genotype in 66% of the families. The most common mutation found was ΔF508 (67%). Another 5 mutations accounted for a further 12.5% (4% G542X; 3% R553X; 3% N1303K; 2% 1717-1 G→A; 0.5% G551D) whereas 6 mutations (R117H, A455E, ΔI507, S549I, S549N, and R1162X) were not found. Fifty-four (49%) patients were AF508 homozygotes and 18 (16.5%) were compound heterozygotes for ΔF508 and one of the rarer mutations. These frequencies differ slightly from those found in the north of Germany and considerably from those reported from the south of Europe, which seems to be consistent with a north to south decline of the relative abundance of ΔF508. Two patients, age 6 and 25 years, were compound heterozygotes for G542X and N1303K. The clinical features of the 6 year old were characterised by severe gastrointestinal and as yet only mild pulmonary complications whereas the 25 year old manifested severe pulmonary and gastrointestinal symptoms indicating that the N1303K mutation of the C-terminal CFTR nucleotide binding fold significantly impairs protein function in both the pancreas and the lungs.

    Notes: Abstract Pronase treatment of aqueous suspensions of purple membrane fragments from H. halobium leads to the cleavage of bacteriorhodopsin. The protein fragments remaining in the membrane after treatment with relatively small concentrations of enzyme (2% w/w) in normal daylight range in molecular weight from 20,000-21,000 daltons, indicating that cleavage occurs mainly near the extremities of the protein chain. At higher enzyme concentrations the relative amounts of protein fragments having smaller molecular weight increase. Generally, the relative loss of retinal chromophore is larger than that of protein and thus the retinal binding site seems to be located near one of the chain ends that is cleaved off by enzyme. Irradiation with white light during the time of proteolysis (at both low and high enzyme concentrations) results in extensive cleavage, so that under certain conditions no high molecular weight components can be detected in SDS-polyacrylamide gels. It, therefore, appears that parts of the bacteriorhodopsin chain become more exposed to enzyme digestion when the purple membrane is illuminated. Enzyme treated aqueous purple membrane fragment suspensions still show photocycle activity. The main consequence of proteolysis is a pronounced appearance of biphasicity in the decay of M412 and the regeneration of bR570. Simultaneously the yield of O660 is reduced. As with untreated purple membrane, the correlation between the rates of decay of M412 and regeneration of bR570 is greatest when the yield of O660 is lowest.

    Notes: Abstract A protein closely resembling the purple membrane protein pre-exists in the cell membrane of H. halobium prior to the appearance of functional bacteriorhodopsin. It is associated with a differentiated membranous structure which has been isolated on a sucrose gradient and appears to be a precursor of the purple membrane. The identity of the precursor protein as a form of the purple membrane protein was established in different ways: (1) The cell proteins were labelled in vivo with 14C-proline during dark aerobic growth, the label was “chased”, and the cells transferred to the illuminated near-anaerobic conditions under which purple membrane is optimally synthesised (induction conditions). Cell lysates were fractionated on sucrose gradients at different times after induction. Label first found in the precursor fraction appeared within 24 h in the purple membrane fraction. (2) SDS-urea-acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purple membrane protein and the precursor showed only one protein band whose migration coincided with that of the purple membrane band. (3) The amino-acid analysis of the purified precursor was very similar to that of the purple membrane. The absorption spectrum of the precursor showed little of the characteristic absorption of bacteriorhodopsin at 570 nm. A major band appears at 412 nm, the exact nature of which is not known. The difference spectrum (reduced versus oxidised) of a purified fraction showed only traces of cytochrome. Thin-layer chromatography of an acetone-soluble lipid extract indicated the presence of retinal and Β-carotene. Cells grown in the presence of nicotine did not develop purple membrane after induction: the species absorbing at 412 nm was much less abundant than in non-inhibited cells, but a new fraction was present with a sharp peak at 345 nm consisting mainly of lycopene.
