    Notes: Abstract An impairment of mitochondrial functions as a result of Ca-loading may be one of the significant events that lead to neuronal death after an ischemic insult. To assess the metabolic consequences of excess Ca on brain mitochondria, pyruvate oxidation was studied in isolated cerebrocortical mitochondria loaded with Ca in vitro. The flux of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) ([1-14C]pyruvate decarboxylation) was inhibited as the mitochondria accumulated excess Ca under the conditions tested: the inhibition in state 3 (i.e., in the presence of added ADP) was greater than in state 4 (i.e., in the absence of added adenine nucleotides). In state 4, the inhibition of the PDHC flux was accompanied by a similar reduction of the in situ activity of PDHC, indicating a change in PDHC phosphorylation. In state 3, the inhibition of the PDHC flux was greater than the corresponding decrease of the in situ PDHC activity. Thus, mechanisms other than the phosphorylation of PDHC might also contribute to the inhibition of pyruvate oxidation. Measurement of PDHC enzymatic activity in vitro indicated that PDHC, similar to α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, was inhibited by millimolar levels of Ca. This observation suggests that PDHC may also be inhibited non-covalently in Ca-loaded mitochondria in a manner similar to that of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.

    Notes: Abstract Values ofK m were determined for three purified sialyltransferases and the corresponding recombinant enzymes. The enzymes were Galβ1-4GlcNAc α2-6sialyltransferase and Galβ1-3(4)GlcNAc α2-3sialyltransferase from rat liver; these enzymes are responsible for the attachment of sialic acid to N-linked oligosaccharide chains; and the Galβ1-3GalNAc α2-3sialyltransferase from porcine submaxillary gland that is responsible for the attachment of sialic acid to O-linked glycoproteins and glycolipids. A procedure for the large scale expression of active sialyltransferases from recombinant baculovirus-infected insect cells is described. For the liver enzymes values ofK m were determined using rat and human asialoα1 acid glycoprotein andN-acetyllactosamine as variable substrates; lacto-N-tetraose was also used with the Galβ1-3(4)GlcNAc α2-3sialyltransferase. Antifreeze glycorprotein was used as the macromolecular acceptor for the porcine enzyme. Values forK m were also determined using CMP-NeuAc as the variable substrate.

    Notes: Propylene was polymerized with rac-ethylene-bis (1-η5-indenyl)dichlorozirconium/methylaluminoxane in solvents of different polarity. The poly (propylene) formed was separated by solvent extraction; 13C-NMR and DSC measurements were made on the polymer fractions. The poly(propylene) in each solvent fraction has its characteristic molecular weight steric pentad distributions, melting transition temperature, and enthalpy for fusion irrespective of the polymerization medium. The results suggest that the medium dielectric constant does not affect the polymerization rate or the intrinsic stereoselectivity, propagation and chain transfer rates a given catalytic species but can alter the occurrence of steric insertion errors through shifting of distributions of the propagating species producing poly(propylenes) of different stereoregularities. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: CH-type catalysts were prepared by reacting MgCl2 · ROH, where ROH is 2-ethyl hexanol (EH), (R)-2-octanol (R-20), and (S)-2-octanol (S-20), with TiCl4 in the presence of di-i-butyl phthalate (BP), di-i-butyl terephthalate (BT), (-)-dimenthyl phthalate (MP), or (-)-dimenthyl terephthalate (MT). The MT catalysts were found to incorporate 8.9 to 13% Ti whereas the BP catalysts contain only 1.9 to 2.6% Ti. Comparison of the CH(EH, BP) and CH(EH, MT) catalysts showed that they have about equal number of isospecific active sites per gram of catalyst and the same rate constants of propagation for their nonspecific sites, however, the isospecific sites in the latter are less active by comparison. Consequently, the CH(EH, BP) catalysts is five times more active than the CH(EH, MT) catalysts and produces polypropylene which is 97% isotactic (reflux n-heptane insoluble) as compared to 84.7% for the latter. The catalysts derived from 2-octanols are much less active than the corresponding catalysts prepared with 2-ethyl hexanol due to lack of reactivity with phthalic anhydride which permits excessive incorporation of TiCl4 to form nonstereospecific catalytic sites as well as inactive Ti species.

    Notes: The formation of CH-type catalysts has been investigated by high-resolution and solid-state NMR. These catalysts are prepared from a soluble MgCl2 and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol adduct (MgCl2·3EH) by reaction with phthalic anhydride (PA) to form dioctylphthalate (DOP) and then with TiCl4 in the presence of di-i-butylphthalate (BP). In the model systems MgCl2·3EH/PA, MgCl2/BP, and MgCl2/TiCl4/BP, the ester is complexed with MgCl2 and /or TiCl4 in two or more states. Only single-ester C=O and OCH2 resonances are seen in TiCl4/BP, probably due to exchange of ester coordinations. CH-catalysts prepared by three different procedures exhibit a single mode of bonding for the ester. The chemical shift values are consistent for ester complexed with MgCl2. The most active and stereoselective catalyst has the most shielded chemical shift values for the C=O and  - OCH2 -  carbons, shortest TH1 and TH1p, and longest TCH relaxation times. These parameters change monotonically with the decrease of activity and stereoselectivity of the catalyst preparation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description: The cartilaginous endoskeletons of sharks and rays are covered by tiles of mineralized cartilage called tesserae that enclose areas of unmineralized cartilage. These tesselated layers are vital to the growth as well as the material properties of the skeleton, providing both flexibility and strength. An understanding of the principles behind the tiling of the mineralized layer requires a quantitative analysis of shark and ray skeletal tessellation. However, since a single skeletal element comprises several thousand tesserae, manual segmentation is infeasible. We developed an automated segmentation pipeline that, working from micro-CT data, allows quantification of all tesserae in a skeletal element in less than an hour. Our segmentation algorithm relies on aspects we have learned of general tesseral morphology. In micro-CT scans, tesserae usually appear as round or star-shaped plate-like tiles, wider than deep and connected by mineralized intertesseral joints. Based on these observations, we exploit the distance map of the mineralized layer to separate individual tiles using a hierarchical watershed algorithm. Utilizing a two-dimensional distance map that measures the distance in the plane of the mineralized layer only greatly improves the segmentation. We developed post-processing techniques to quickly correct segmentation errors in regions where tesseral shape differs from the assumed shape. Evaluation of our results is done qualitatively by visual comparison with raw datasets, and quantitatively by comparison to manual segmentations. Furthermore, we generate two-dimensional abstractions of the tiling network based on the neighborhood, allowing representation of complex, biological forms as simpler geometries. We apply our newly developed techniques to the analysis of the left and right hyomandibulae of four ages of stingray enabling the first quantitative analyses of the tesseral tiling structure, while clarifying how these patterns develop across ontogeny.

    Description: The endoskeletons of sharks and rays are composed of an unmineralized cartilaginous core, covered in an outer layer of mineralized tiles called tesserae. The tessellated layer is vital to the growth as well as the material properties of the skeletal element, providing both flexibility and strength. However, characterizing the relationship between tesseral size and shape, and skeletal growth and mechanics is challenging because tesserae are small (a few hundred micrometers wide), anchored to the surrounding tissue in complex three-dimensional ways, and occur in huge numbers. Using a custom-made semi-automatic segmentation algorithm, we present the first quantitative and three-dimensional description of tesserae in micro-CT scans of whole skeletal elements. Our segmentation algorithm relies on aspects we have learned of general tesseral morphology. We exploit the distance map of the mineralized layer to separate individual tiles using a hierarchical watershed algorithm. Additionally, we have developed post-processing techniques to quickly correct segmentation errors. Our data reveals that the tessellation is not regular, with tesserae showing a great range of shapes, sizes and number of neighbors. This is partly region-dependent: for example, thick, columnar tesserae are arranged in series along convex edges with small radius of curvature (RoC), whereas more brick-or disc-shaped tesserae are found in planar areas. We apply our newly developed techniques on the left and right hyomandibula (skeletal elements supporting the jaws) from four different ages of a stingray species, to clarify how tiling patterns develop across ontogeny and differ within and between individuals. We evaluate the functional consequences of tesseral morphologies using finite element analysis and 3d-printing, for a better understanding of shark skeletal mechanics, but also to extract fundamental engineering design principles of tiling arrangements on load-bearing three-dimensional objects.
