    Notes: Summary The influence of hypoxia on hepatic mitochondrial function and energy status was studied in normal and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced cirrhotic rats. Under hypoxemia of 50 mm Hg-PaO2, hepatic energy status was suppressed both in normal and cirrhotic rats. After the reversal of hypoxia, it was completely restored in normal rats concomitant with a rapid elevation of hepatic mitochondrial redox state (overshoot phenomenon) and increase in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylative activity. By contrast, in cirrhotic rats, such an enhancement of mitochondrial function was not observed. It was clarified that cirrhotic liver mitochondria have little capacity to respond to the hypoxic stress. A lower resistance to hypoxic episode in cirrhotics might be attributable to the absence of mitochondrial enhancement which is a compensatory mechanism for the deranged energy metabolism of the liver.

    Notes: Abstract Peroxisomal NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (Ps-NADP-IDH) was purified for the first time from Candida tropicalis cells grown on n-alkane as a carbon source, which was effective in proliferation of peroxisomes. The properties of Ps-NADP-IDH were compared with those of mitochondrial NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (Mt-NAD-IDH) purified from the cells grown on acetate, in which peroxisomes did not proliferate. Ps-NADP-IDH was a homod imer of identical subunits (45 kDa), while Mt-NAD-IDH was suggested to be a heterooctamer composed of two types of subunits with different molecular masses (41 and 38 kDa). Kinetic studies revealed that Ps-NADP-IDH gave Michaelis-Menten saturation curves against isocitrate and NADP concentrations, whereas Mt-NAD-IDH was an allosteric enzyme regulated by ATP, AMP, and citrate. Inhibition by 2-oxoglutarate, a precursor of glutamate, was observed only for Ps-NADP-IDH. Both enzymes were inhibited by concomitant addition of oxalacetate and glyoxylate. The function of Ps-NADP-IDH seems to be completely discriminated from that of Mt-NAD-IDH as reflected by their distinct subcellular localizations. Furthermore, the properties of Ps-NADP-IDH were also compared with those of other mitochondrial and cytosolic IDHs from sources reported previously.

    Notes: Abstract Although peroxisomal localization of NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (Idp) was first demonstrated in Candida tropicalis, the mitochondrial isozyme has not been found in this yeast. Here we report that the presence of mitochondrial Idp in the yeast was demonstrated by screening for its gene with a DNA probe containing conserved sequences of Idps from various organisms. The nucleotide sequence of the gene (CtIDP1) revealed a 1,290-bp open reading frame corresponding to a 430-amino-acid protein with a high similarity to previously reported Idps. Overexpression of CtIDP1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae gave a high intracellular Idp activity, and the purified recombinant Idp was shown to be a homodimer with a subunit molecular mass of approximately 44 kDa, different from that of peroxisomal Idp (45 kDa) previously purified from C. tropicalis. Western blot analysis of the subcellular fractions from acetate-grown C. tropicalis with polyclonal antibodies raised against the recombinant CtIdp1 showed that the CtIdp1 in C. tropicalis was localized in mitochondria but not in peroxisomes. Similar levels of CtIDP1 mRNA and its protein product were detected in cells grown on glucose, acetate, and n-alkane, although a slight decrease was observed in n-alkane-grown cells. From these results, CtIdp1 was demonstrated to be mitochondrial Idp. The properties of mitochondrial Idp and peroxisomal Idp isozymes were proven to be similar, but they were immunochemically distinct, suggesting the presence of another gene responsible for peroxisomal Idp in C. tropicalis.

    Notes: Dynamic x-ray diffraction and dynamic birefringence techniques are employed to determine the nature of the molecular motions associated with the α mechanical loss processes for low-density polyethylene. The results indicate that the low-temperature part of this loss (designated α1) is associated with an interlammellar “grain boundary” slip process while the higher temperature process (α2) involves intracrystalline motion and plasticity of the crystal itself. The activation energy for α1 determined by x-ray response is 25-30 kcal/mole, while that for α2 is 30-60 kcal/mole. The findings are consistent with dynamic infrared and dynamic light-scattering results which indicate that the motion of amorphous chains is closely correlated with that of the crystals. The relative contributions of amorphous and crystalline regions to the birefringence are dependent on the thermal treatment of the sample. The effect of static strain on the dynamic response indicates that crystal orientability is first increased with strain, probably because of splaying apart of lamellae, is subsequently decreased because of the restrictions of interlamellae tie chains, but then increases again as the spherulites are destroyed at high strain. The static strain reduces the orientability of amorphous regions.

    Notes: The copolymerization of tetraoxane with styrene catalyzed by BF3·O(C2H5)2 was studied at 30°C. to determine whether a cyclic monomer can copolymerize with a vinyl monomer. The formation of the copolymer was confirmed by elementary analysis of both benzene-soluble and benzene-insoluble fractions of the polymer obtained. It was found by gas chromatography that a fairly large amount of 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane and a small amount of trioxane were formed in the present system, in addition to polymers. Roughly a third of the total amount of the monomers reacted was consumed in the formation of methanol-insoluble polymer, a third for 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane, and another third for trioxane and unknown products which could not be indentified. The formation of these cyclic compounds during the copolymerization may be explained in terms of a back-biting (or intramolecular transacetalization) reaction. The cationic reactivity of tetraoxane was found to be similar to that of styrene on the basis of both the consumption rate of each monomer in the copolymerizing system and the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer obtained.

    Notes: It was determined whether trioxane, a cyclic formal, can copolymerize with styrene, a vinyl monomer, in the presence of BF3·O(C2H5)2 catalyst at 30°C. The methanol-in-soluble fraction after extraction with benzene was found to contain the copolymer of styrene and trioxane, thus demonstrating that trioxane can copolymerize with styrene In this case the amount of the methanol-insoluble polymer was less than that of the total monomer consumed, as determined by gas chromatography. This was found to be caused partly by the formation of the cyclic oligomer, 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane. The relative reactivity of styrene was qualitatively found to be larger than that of trioxane, not only from the rate of monomer consumption but also from the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer obtained. In a nonpolar solvent the reactivity of trioxane increased, and the difference in reactivity between the two monomers decreased. Indeed, an apparent monomer reactivity ratio might be obtained from the relationship between the monomer composition and the monomer consumption rate or the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer, but it did not have a quantitative meaning because of the complexity of the copolymerization reaction.
