    Notes: Abstract: Specific antisera were raised against the A and B chains of glycoprotein III. lmmunoblotting revealed that in adrenal medulla both chains migrate very closely together in two-dimensional electrophoresis. Both chains with slightly differing molecular sizes are found in several endocrine tissues and in brain, kidney, liver, and serum. The mRNA has an analogous widespread distribution. In primary cultures of chromaffin cells the level of message becomes significantly increased by treatment with hista-mine or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate/forskoIin. However, the increase is small when compared with that of secretogranin II. The subcellular localization of glycoprotein III in endocrine organs and in the posterior pituitary was investigated by subcellular fractionation and immuno-electron microscopy. Glycoprotein III was found to be confined to the large densecore vesicles of these organs. For a discussion of the function of glycoprotein III, its localization in these organelles has to be taken into account.

    Notes: Magnetic garnet films of composition (Y,Bi)3(Fe,Al)5O12 are grown by liquid phase epitaxy on [111] oriented substrates of Gd3Ga5O12. They support periodic lattices of parallel stripe domains. A simple strip antenna is used to excite the domain wall resonance and the two branches of the domain resonance in the frequency range up to 5 GHz. The resonance frequencies and the dynamic components of the magnetization are calculated using a hybridization model. Good agreement between calculated and measured resonance frequencies is obtained if the quality factor of the film is larger than 0.6. Optical modes are coupled into the waveguiding film. The excited domain resonances cause dynamic conversion of transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes by the Faraday and the Cotton–Mouton effects. Mode coupling and conversion are calculated by the perturbation theory. The dynamic conversion efficiencies are measured at the fundamental and the first harmonic frequency and at zero diffraction order as a function of the static induction applied in the film plane parallel to the stripes. Conversion efficiencies up to 18% are achieved at a frequency of 2.8 GHz. From the experimental data the precession angles are derived.

    Notes: Exchange interactions and charge transfer in the Fe2+Fe3+ pair of the mixed valence [Fe2S2(dimethylmethanebisbenzimidazolate)2]3− trianion have been studied by analysis of Mössbauer spectra in the temperature range of 1.5–180 K and in applied fields of 10 mT, 0.35 T, and 6.2 T. The low-temperature spectra reveal a ground state with total spin St=1/2 and hyperfine parameters intermediate between values for a Fe2+Fe3+ localized mixed-valence pair and a fully delocalized system where the two iron atoms are equivalent. A consistent set of hyperfine parameters has been derived by fitting the spectra with a stochastic relaxation model taking into account spin relaxation in the St=1/2 state and electron hopping between the iron ions. An interpretation of the values of the hyperfine parameters has been given by solving a spin Hamiltonian, which includes antiferromagnetic and double exchange in an asymmetric Fe2+Fe3+ pair and which allows partial electron delocalization. Using the value a2=0.8 for the delocalization coefficient and an estimate of Δ=105 cm−1 for the difference between the St=1/2 and the first excited St=3/2 state we have derived limits for the exchange-coupling constant J, the double-exchange parameter B, and the energy difference EA−EB arising from the two possible configurations FeA2+FeB3+ and FeA3+FeB2+, i.e., 70 cm−1(approximately-less-than)J(approximately-less-than)300 cm−1, 0〈||B||(approximately-less-than)395 cm−1, and 0〈||EA−EB||(approximately-less-than)590 cm−1.

    Notes: Abstract: The properties of the catecholamine-storing organelles from transplantable rat phaeochromocytoma and rat adrenal glands were compared by density gradient centrifugation. It was shown that tumour granules are more heterogeneous and less dense than adrenal granules. Both granule preparations can take up catecholamines and nucleotides by a process driven by an electrochemical proton gradient. Dopamine β-hydroxylase and glycoprotein III were analysed by immunological techniques. Glycoprotein III was shown to be a specific component of chromaffin granules. Tumour tissue (average weight 700 mg) contains amounts of these antigens comparable to those in 210 adrenals. The biosynthesis of granules in the tumour apparently occurs at a low rate, making turnover studies difficult. The transplantable rat phaeochromocytoma is very useful for studies on the uptake properties and the immunological characteristics of rat catecholamine storage granules because one tumour provides an amount of material that could otherwise be obtained only from a large number of adrenal glands.

    Notes: Abstract: The uptake of nucleotides and Catecholamines into chromaffin granules from adrenals of pigs and horses is similar to that previously seen in bovine chromaffin granules. The rate of [3H]ATP uptake at 2 mM-ATP concentration was 0.42 ± 0.06 and 0.15 ± 0.02 nmol/mg protein/min for pig and horse granules, respectively. The apparent Km's were 1.37 mM for pig granules, 0.89 mM for horse granules, and 1.2 mM for ox granules. The sensitivity of the uptake for nucleotides and catecholamine to specific inhibitors was found to be similar in granules from pig and ox, indicating that the same mechanisms of uptake are involved in both species.

    Notes: Abstract: Chromogranin A and two other proteins (A1 and A2) of the soluble proteins of bovine chromaffin granules were isolated by extraction from polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis. The carbohydrate content of these proteins was 5%, with galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, and sialic acid as the main sugars. Membranes of chromaffin granules were solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and three glycoproteins were isolated by sequential affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A (Con A) and wheat germ lectin (WGL) Sepharose columns. Two glycoproteins, designated GP II and III, were found to have a high carbohydrate content of about 30%. Mannose, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, and sialic acid were the main sugars. In addition membrane-bound dopamine β-hydroxylase was isolated by this procedure. No significant differences between the carbohydrate composition of the membrane-bound and the soluble enzyme were revealed. It was shown that all four subunits of dopamine β-hydroxylase possess carbohydrate chains with an affinity for Con A. The isolation methods established in this study will be useful for immunological studies on these glycoproteins.

    Notes: By means of immunohistochemistry we analysed the distribution of chromogranin A, secretogranin II and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in 16 phaeochromocytomas, twotases of combined phaeochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma and sour adrenal ganglioneuromas. Chromogranin A was found in the majority of phaeochromocytes and in mixed phaeochromocytomas-ganglioneuromas. Secretogranin II was present to a lesser degree in phaeochromocytes, but strong immunostaining was found in most ganglion cells of phaeochromocytomas, in the ganglioneuroma component of combined tumours and in adrenal ganglioneuromas. Vasoactive intestinal peptide was present in some ganglion cells of phaeochromocytomas, in the ganglioneuroma component of mixed tumours and in three of four adrenal ganglioneuromas. On semi-adjacent sections a co-localization of VIP and secretogranin II was demonstrated. These results indicate that neuronal differentiation is accompanied by an increased immunohistochemical expression of secretogranin II. Therefore, secretogranin II may be a useful marker for ganglion cell differentiation.

    Notes: In situ hybridization was used to study the mRNA levels for secretogranin II and VGF in comparison with those of oxytocin and vasopressin in the hypothalamus of rats. VGF is a widespread constituent of large dense core vesicles which is selectively induced in PC12 cells by nerve growth factor. After adrenalectomy the mRNA levels of secretogranin II, VGF and vasopressin were increased 4- to 5-fold in the parvocellular neurons of the paraventricular nuclei. In lactating rats the message for oxytocin and secretogranin II were significantly elevated in the magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei, whereas for VGF only a smaller non-significant increase was observed. As shown by immunoelectron microscopy secretoneurin (a peptide derived from secretogranin II) and oxytocin are co-stored in the large dense core vesicles of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial neurons.These results demonstrate that stimulation of both parvo- and magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus induces a concomitant increase of the messages for secretogranin II and VGF together with those of vasopressin and oxytocin.
