    Notes: Abstract  NFKB2 is a member of the NFKB/Rel gene family, which is known to be a pivotal regulator of the acute phase and immune responses. NF-κB2 is initially synthesized as a ∼100 000 M r protein which needs to be processed in order to bind DNA, either as homodimer or as heterodimer with other members of the NF-κB/Rel family. The unprocessed form of NF-κB2 acts as an IκB-like protein. Therefore, NF-κB2 has a dual function. In this report we describe the genomic structure, expression pattern, and chromosomal localization of mouse NFKB2. Genomic clones were isolated, which span the entire gene of approximately 8.5 kilobases (kb) including 1.5 kb of the promoter region. Comparison to its human and avian homologues revealed a strong evolutionary conservation of the gene structure including the exon/intron borders, sequence, and position of the nuclear localization signal, the glycine-hinge region, and the ankyrin repeats. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, mouse NFKB2 was mapped to Chromosome (Chr) MMU 19C3-D2, which is homologous to human Chr 10q24, at which position the human NFKB2 was previously located. NFKB2 is ubiquitously expressed, highest in lymph nodes and thymus, underlining its role in the immune function.

    Notes: C2H2 is prepared in the 2030000 (five quanta of C–H stretch) vibrational state and photodissociated by 243.135 nm photons that also probe the H photofragments via (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The production of H atoms is greatly enhanced upon rovibrational excitation. The REMPI action spectrum shows the characteristic features of a Σu+–Σg+ band and mimics the absorption spectrum, except that the R(13) line intensity is an order of magnitude higher than that expected for a Boltzmann distribution. The maximum translational energy of the H atoms obtained from dissociation of the regularly distributed rotational states is 0.67±0.10, whereas for R(13) it is 1.34±0.10 eV. The observed intensities and linewidths indicate the existence of two photodissociation pathways following the preparation of C2H2, where the C2H fragment is produced in two different states. In the R(13) pathway an additional bent state is prepared, or an accidental coincidence resonance is involved. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Rovibrational excitation combined with promotion of C2H2 molecules to the excited electronic trans-bent states A˜ 1Au/B˜ 1Bu and photofragment ionization are used to generate action spectra, H Doppler profiles, and time-of-flight mass spectra. Rovibrational states of C2H2 in the 15 480–15 723 cm−1 region are photodissociated by 243.135 nm photons that subsequently tag the H fragments. The H photofragment yield is greatly enhanced upon rovibrational excitation. In the action spectra, the intensities of the combination bands that involve high stretch and low bend excitation, (1410020) and (2031100), are close to that of the fourth overtone of the C–H stretch, (2030000), while in the absorption spectra the intensities of the combination bands are much weaker. In addition, the effect of rotation on fragment yield and dissociation channels is demonstrated. Several pairs of rotational transitions (sharing similar J′) stand out from the rotational band contour and the R(13) line of (2030000) shows an anomalously high intensity. The origin of the intensity enhancement for the combination bands is the better Franck–Condon (FC) overlap of states containing bend excitation with the dissociative wave functions. The source of the high intensity for the pairs of rotational transitions is the interaction with zero-order dark states that also give rise to a better FC factor, whereas in R(13) excitation an additional bent state is prepared, followed by two photon ultraviolet absorption, leading to a different photodissociation pathway. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Stimulation or light-saturated rates of photosynthesis in Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngb. by blue light was eliminated by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) or by lowering pH in natural seawater. The amplitude of the circadian rhythm of photosynthesis was also diminished under these conditions, and the pH compensation points in a closed system were higher in the presence of blue light and during the circadian day. These observations suggest that blue light and the circadian clock regulate the activity of a carbon acquisition system in these plants. The inhibitor of external carbonic anhydrase, acetazolamide, reduced overall rates of photosynthesis by only about 30%, but ethoxyzolamide suppressed the circadian rhythm of photosynthesis almost completely and markedly reduced the duration of responses to blue light pulses. Similar patterns were obtained when photosynthesis was measured in strongly limiting DIC concentrations (0–0.5 mol m−3). Since blue light stimulated photosynthesis under these conditions of strong carbon limitation, we suggest that blue light activates the release of CO2 from an internal CO2 store. We propose a metabolic pathway with similarities to that of CAM plants. Non-photosynthetic fixation leads to the accumulation of a storage metabolite. The circadian clock and blue light control the mobilization of CO2 at the site of decarboxylation of this metabolite. In the presence of continuous blue light the pathway is proposed to cycle and act as a pump for CO2 into the chloroplasts. This hypothesis helps to explain a number of previously reported peculiarities of brown algal photosynthesis.

    Notes: In saturating irradiances of red light, photosynthesis of Laminaria saccharina (L.) Lamouroux was stimulated by low irradiances of continuous blue light only when the supply of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was limiting. The degree of this stimulation was inversely proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of free CO2, whether this was adjusted by varying the total DIC or the pH at a given DIC concentration. The final pH reached in a closed system was higher in blue light than in red light. Both acetazolamide and ethoxyzolamide suppressed the responses to blue light almost completely, but reduced photosynthesis in red light by only 30%. Buffering the pH of the seawater also suppressed the stimulation of photosynthesis by blue light without affecting the photosynthetic rate in red light. The transient stimulation of O2 evolution by a blue light pulse was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in CO2 consumption. These observations could be explained if, in analogy to the mechanism proposed for Ectocarpus (Schmid, Mills & Dring 1996, Plant Cell and Environment 19,373–382, this issue, accompanying paper), photosynthesis was supported by a blue-light-activated release of CO2 from an internal store. We suggest that the store is located in the vacuoles of the cortical tissue of the blades. The main photosynthetic tissue, however, is in the overlying meristoderm, and blue-light-activated mobilization of the store could stimulate O2 evolution only if periplasmic carbonic anhydrase was available to facilitate CO2 uptake from the cortex.

    Notes: Abstract  At low speeds the free-stream turbulence in test-sections of water channels and wind tunnels can hardly be suppressed with a conventional set of screens in the settling chamber. In many cases the friction of screens is not high enough to quench the turbulence created by compressors, orifices, bends, diffusers, and nozzles. Without creating new turbulence the kinetic energy of already existing turbulence can only be eliminated by laminar friction somewhere upstream of the test-section. This laminar friction can be provided by packed beds and fibrous mats. Due to the small size of pellets or strands and due to the low speed in the settling chamber the corresponding Reynolds number may be low enough to achieve laminar or near laminar flow. An additional bonus may be obtained from the suppression of flow separation in the diffuser, if the packed bed or the fibrous mats are arranged downstream of the diffuser with a minimum required drag, whereas the drag of screens would be below this required minimum. The used water channel and the wind tunnel were not custom-made to the specifications for low free-stream turbulence. Even though, it was possible to get the free stream turbulence down to 0.063% with a packed bed and to 0.037% with fibrous mats. However, in comparison with the fibrous mats, the drag coefficient of the packed bed was almost ten times higher.

    Notes: Abstract A sensitive dipstick assay for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) detection was developed. The assay was based on the competitive reaction of 2,4-D and enzyme tracer with monoclonal antibodies immobilised on an Ultrabind® membrane. The binding of enzyme tracer on the test strip was determined by a simple, portable reflectometer as remission at 657 nm. Using this technique, 2,4-D could be detected in a concentration range of 0.5 μg/L to 100 μg/L. The center point of the 2,4-D test was found at a concentration of 6 μg/L. Cross-reactivity with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) as determined by this dipstick assay was 2.5% and 3% by standard ELISA technique using microtiter plates. The assay was applied in the detection of 2,4-D in real water samples, and sensitivity was comparable to spiked water samples. If combined with an effective extraction procedure that results in recovery rates of 90%, the dipstick assay can be used to monitor human exposure to 2,4-D from contamination in water, from oranges and in testing urine samples.
