    Notes: Abstract The prevalence of antibodies against HIV-1 regulatory proteins in sera of HIV-infected patients from different stages of disease was investigated. HIV-1 vif, tat, and nef genes were cloned in procaryotic vectors and were expressed as MS-2 fusion proteins (vif and nef) or as a non-fusion protein (tat). These recombinant proteins were employed in immunoblot experiments. The specifity of the recognition was confirmed by competition experiments and with control sera from HIV-negative patients. Analysis of 136 serum samples revealed a high percentage of antibodies against nef, irrespective of the stage of disease. Antibodies against tat were found less frequently and increased from 16% to 40% with disease progression. Vif antibodies were detected only in a low percentage in early stages of disease, but their prevalence increased to 36% and 72% with progression of disease to AIDS-related complex and AIDS. Our data suggest that the detection of antibodies against nef may represent an additional and useful marker for the diagnosis of HIV infection, whereas the detection of vif antibodies may indicate disease progression.

    Notes: Abstract— Plasma profiles of reproductive and thyroid hormones were studied in captive striped bass Morone saxatilis during an 11-wk period encompassing the spawning season, and the effect of a sustained-release gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa)-delivery system (GnRHa-implant) on milt production was evaluated. The highest percentage of spermiating fish was observed between mid-April and mid-May, and mean total expressible milt ranged from 3.5 to 6.0 mL/kg. Plasma gonadotropin II (GtH II) increased significantly, though inconsistently, during the spermiation period, whereas testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone levels declined continually. Plasma 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one and 17,20β,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one remained low and unchanged during the peak of the spermiation period, while thyroid hormones were high and fluctuated without exhibiting a trend consistent with spermiation. The observed endocrine profiles suggest that captivity can diminish plasma GtH II and triiodothyronine levels in striped bass. Transfer of spermiating males from large holding tanks to small spawning tanks reduced total expressible milt after 14 d, but treatment with a GnRHa-implant restored milt volume, presumably due to the prolonged elevation of plasma GnRHa and GtH II induced by the GnRHa-implant. Also, treatment with the GnRHa-implant induced a two- to four-fold elevation of expressible milt for at least 20 d compared to control fish, while resulting in only a 5 to 15% decrease in sperm density. It appears that captivity and hatchery operations can diminish milt production in striped bass, and that GnRHa-delivery systems, via sustained elevation of plasma GtH II, can induce long-term enhancement in milt volume without affecting sperm density greatly.

    Notes: Testosterone and oestradiol can modulate GABA synthesis in sexually regressed goldfish. Here we investigated their effects on the mRNA expression of two isoforms of the GABA synthesizing enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65 and GAD67, EC 4.1.1.15). Full-length GAD clones were isolated from a goldfish cDNA library and sequenced. Goldfish GAD65 encodes a polypeptide of 583 amino acid residues, which is 77% identical to human GAD65. Goldfish GAD67 encodes a polypeptide of 587 amino acid residues and is 82% identical to human GAD67. Goldfish GAD65 and GAD67 are 63% identical. Sexually regressed male and female goldfish were implanted with solid silastic pellets containing testosterone, oestradiol or no steroid. Semiquantitative PCR analysis showed that oestradiol significantly increased GAD65 mRNA expression in female hypothalamus and telencephalon, while testosterone resulted in a significant increase only in telencephalon. GAD67 mRNA levels were not affected by steroids in females. In contrast, both steroids induced significant decreases of GAD65 and GAD67 mRNA levels in male hypothalamus, but had no effect on GAD mRNA expression in male telencephalon. Our results indicate that modulation of GAD mRNA expression is a possible mechanism for steroid action on GABA synthesis, which may have opposite effects in males and females.

    Notes: Abstract: Gangliosides GD3 and GM1 were coupled to proteins by their car-boxyl groups and antisera were raised against the complexes. Anti-ganglioside antibodies were isolated by affinity chromatography on ganglioside-amino-propyl silica gel columns and the specificity of the antibodies was determined by a quantitative microcomplement fixation assay. Antibodies to GD3 were highly specific and did not crossreact with GM3, lactosyl ceramide, or other glycolipids. Purified antibodies to GM1, in contrast, crossreacted with asialo-GM1, GD1b and to a lesser extent, GM2 and asialo-GM2. A derivative of GM1, containing a C-7 sialic acid residue produced by periodate oxidation, reacted with the anti-GM1 antibodies almost as readily as with GM1. The specificities of anti-GM1 antibodies elicited by the covalent ganglioside-protein complexes were similar to those produced by immunization with noncovalent complexes of GM1 and methylated bovine serum albumin. The ganglioside-protein complexes described here should be useful for preparing antibodies to polysialo-gangliosides that contain neuraminidase-sensitive linkages.

    Notes: A large variety of potassium channels is involved in regulating integration and transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system. Different types of neurons, therefore, require specific patterns of potassium channel subunit expression and specific regulation of subunit coassembly into heteromultimeric channels, as well as subunit-specific sorting and segregation. This was investigated by studying in detail the expression of six different α-subunits of voltage-gated potassium channels in the rat hippocampus, cerebellum, olfactory bulb and spinal cord, combining in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry. Specific polyclonal antibodies were prepared for five α-subunits (KV1.1, KV1.2, KV1.3, KV1.4, KV1.6) of the Shaker-related subfamily of rat Kv channels, which encode delayed-rectifier type and rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Their distribution was compared to that of an A-type potassium channel (KV3.4), belonging to the Shaw-related subfamily of rat Kv channels. Our results show that these Kv channel α-subunits are differentially expressed in rat brain neurons. We did not observe in various neurons a stereotypical distribution of Kv channel α-subunits to dendritic and axonal compartments, but a complex differential subcellular subunit distribution. The different Kv channel subunits are targeted either to presynaptic or to postsynaptic domains, depending on neuronal cell type. Thus, distinct combinations of Kv1 α-subunits are co-localized in different neurons. The implications of these findings are that both differential expression and assembly as well as subcellular targeting of Kv channel α-subunits may contribute to Kv channel diversity and thereby to presynaptic and postsynaptic membrane excitability.

    Notes: The dopaminergic neuronal system is implicated in cognitive processes in a variety of brain regions including the mesolimbic system. We have investigated whether dopamine also affects synchronized network activity in the hippocampus, which has been ascribed to play a pivotal role in memory formation. Gamma frequency (20–80 Hz) oscillations were induced by the cholinergic agonist carbachol. Oscillatory activity was examined in area CA3 of Wistar rat hippocampal slices, employing field potential and intracellular recordings. Application of carbachol initiated synchronized population activity in the gamma band at 40 Hz. Induced gamma activity persisted over hours and required GABAA receptors. Dopamine reversibly decreased the integrated gamma band power of the carbachol rhythm by 62%, while its frequency was not changed. By contrast, individual pyramidal cells recorded during carbachol-induced field gamma activity exhibited theta frequency (5–15 Hz) membrane potential oscillations that were not altered by dopamine. The dopamine effect on the field gamma activity was mimicked by the D1 receptor agonist SKF-383393 and partially antagonized by the D1 antagonist SCH-23390. Conversely, the D2 receptor agonist quinpirole failed to depress the oscillations, and the D2 antagonist sulpiride did not prevent the suppressive dopamine effect. The data indicate that dopamine strongly depresses cholinergic gamma oscillations in area CA3 of rat hippocampus by activation of D1-like dopamine receptors and that this effect is most likely mediated via impairment of interneurons involved in generation and maintenance of the carbachol-induced network rhythm.

    Notes: Phytochrome (120 kdalton or 60 kdalton) was isolated from etiolated seedlings of Avena sativa L. cv. Pirol (Baywa München). Irradiation with red light of the Pr form at −23°C in aqueous medium or at −40°C in 66% glycerol leads to the intermediate meta-Rb. Acidification of the glycerol solution at −40°C leads to the absorption of the 15(E) phytochrome chromophore (= Pfr chromophore). Subsequent irradiation transforms this into the 15(Z) chromophore (= Pr chromophore). The presence of the 15(E) chromophore was demonstrated by the same methods also in phytochrome bleached either as Pfr in the dark by 4 M urea, methanol, acetone, ethylene glycol, 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate, or as Pr by irradiation with red light in the presence of the same agents. Phytochrome bleached by sodium dodecylsulfate or by dehydration was also investigated. It was concluded that bleached phytochrome contains the Pfr chromophore without specific interaction with the protein.
