    Notes: Abstract We have mutated the type I cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP-I), individually at the Arg131 (into Ala) and the Tyr 133 (into Phe) residues which have been predicted to make direct contact with retinoic acid (RA) based upon previous structural studies. The RA-binding affinities of these mutants are examined and their biological effects on RA induction of reporter genes are determined. The R131A mutation drastically affects its ligand-binding property, but the Y133F mutation has little effect. By using an RA-inducible reporter, it is found that the wild type CRABP-I exerts biphasic effects on RA induction of the reporter. The early (at 12 h) effect is to enhance RA induction, whereas the delayed (at 24 h) effect is to suppress RA induction. In consistence with their RA binding property, the R 131A mutant loses both its early and delayed biological activities, whereas the Y133F mutant remains as effective as the wild type. It is concluded that CRABP-I over-expression exerts biphasic effects on RA-mediated gene expression, and that Arg131, but not Tyr 133, is essential for a high RA-binding affinity of this protein as well as its biological activity.

    Notes: High precision 14N screening measurements are presented for some nitroalkanes. The screening increases as the dielectric constant of the solvent decreases in all cases considered. The β effect on the nitrogen screening is found to be largely independent of solvent, and is thus an intrinsic property of the nitroalkanes. Good agreement is obtained between the observed solvent effects on nitrogen screening and those calculated by the SOS procedure using INDO/S parameters. It is concluded that the measured nitrogen screening changes monitor the electronic changes which occur in the nitroalkanes as the medium is changed.

    Notes: Sum-over-states perturbation and finite perturbation calculations, within the ‘Solvaton’ model, are presented for the variation of some 17O and 19F chemical shifts as a function of the dielectric constant of the medium. In general, the nuclear screening and charge are predicted to increase as the dielectric constant increases. The effects of hydrogen bonding are included by means of minimum energy dimer models in some of the sum-over-states calculations.

    Notes: Some INDO/S parameterized SOS shielding calculations are reported for the nitrogen nuclei of some N-heterocycles. Hydrogen bonding with H2O and CF3CH2OH is incorporated in a supermolecule approach. The calculated effects of hydrogen bonding are found to be in satisfactory agreement with observed nitrogen shielding variations upon a change of solvent.

    Notes: An unusual morphine analog was extracted and separated from an opium-like sample. The high resolution mass spectrum of the unknown substance confirmed the empirical formula as C17H18O2NCl. Mass spectra and retention factor values in thin-layer chromatography of both unknown and authentic standards were compared, which lead to the identification of the unknown as β-chloromorphide.

    Notes: The mouse cellular retinoic acid binding protein-I (CRABP-I) gene is specifically up-regulated by retinoic acid (RA) in P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells, and its expression in animals is spatially and temporally restricted to RA-sensitive tissues during embryonic development. This study demonstrates that, in adult mouse tissues and P19 cells where the expression of CRABP-I is detected at the basal level, the 5′- flanking region of the CRABP-I gene is hypermethylated at the C residues of all the Hpa II sites. Conversely, in mouse embryos during early stages of development when the expression of CRABP-I gene is detected at a much higher level, this region is demethylated at these Hpa II sites. In P19, enhancement on the RA-induced up-regulation of CRABP-I can be observed in cells treated with 5-azacytidine (5-AzaC) in conjunction with RA, where partial demethylation in the 5′-flanking region of CRABP-I gene is observed. Nuclear run-on experiments indicate that increased message levels of CRABP-I in P19 cells can be accounted for, at least partially, by increases in its transcription rates. The induction of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) β by RA can also be enhanced by 5-AzaC, but to a much lesser degree. In contrast, all the Hpa II sites in the structural gene portion, at least in the first two exons, are fully demethylated at the C residues. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
