    Notes: Abstract To construct a vector for high-level expression of heterologous genes in Lentinus edodes, the L. edodes GPD promoter, which is expressed constitutively and strongly, was fused to a hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) derived from Escherichia coli as a selective marker. Using the resulting pLG-hph construct, L. edodes was efficiently transformed to hygromycin resistance by restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI). The restriction enzyme concentrations yielding the maximal numbers of transformants by the REMI method were 10 U per transformation in the case of BglII and 25–50 U in the case of HindIII. Southern analysis of the transformants indicated that some 50% of plasmid integrations were REMI-mediated events. These results indicate that pLG is a useful vector for transformation of L. edodes. Deletion analysis of the GPD promoter region suggested that the segment between positions −442 bp and −270 bp relative to the transcription start point may be essential for function.

    Notes: Abstract With the use of microdialysis techniques, we examined the effects of nicorandil, a hybrid of an ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel opener and a nitrate compound, on the production of interstitial adenosine in rat hearts in situ. The level of dialysate adenosine measured under a constant supply of adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP) reflected the activity of endogenous ecto-5′-nucleotidase. Nicorandil (0.3–3 mM) increased the level of AMP (100 μM)-primed dialysate adenosine in a concentration-dependent manner, and this effect was completely abolished by the guanylate cyclase inhibitor, methylene blue (100 μM), but not by the KATP channel blocker, glibenclamide (10 μM). Another KATP channel opener, cromakalim (0.1–1 mM), did not increase the production of AMP-primed dialysate adenosine. These results suggest that nicorandil increases the level of interstitial adenosine via cyclic guanosine monophosphate-mediated activation of ecto-5′-nucleotidase.
