    Notes: Summary The Maudsley Reactive and Non-Reactive strains have been developed as a model for the study of individual variations in stress-reactivity, and many differences in biobehavioral systems have been found between them. This review discusses limitations of the ‘emotionality’ construct in accounting for differences between the Maudsley strains and offers an alternative, theoretical approach. Amaral and Sinnamon have proposed that the locus ceruleus (LC) plays a stress-attenuating role in mediating behavioral, physiological and neuroendocrine response to prepotent, emergency-provoking stimuli and, building upon this formulation, it is proposed that the LC has been an important focus for gene action in the Maudsley model. It is suggested that the LC of the Non-Reactive strain is more strongly activated by stressful stimuli than the LC of Reactive rats, and is the basis of many of the behavioral and physiological differences between them. Behavioral and biochemical evidence consistent with this proposition is reviewed. Identification of the LC as a target for gene-action in the Maudsley model has an important advantage. It substitutes variations at a specific anatomic location in the brain for a loosely defined construct like emotionality, and the hypothesis is amenable to empirical tests by a variety of experimental approaches.

    Notes: Summary The variation in immune responses to standard inoculation of the hepatitis-B virus vaccine suggest that host factors influence response in ways that are not presently understood. We studied 25 low/nonresponding health care workers (anti-HBs titer 〈50 IU/l) after the third inoculation of an experimental hepatitis-B vaccine to determine their immune status (through lymphocyte phenotypes) and HLA type. After application of a fourth inoculation, the seroconverting subjects showed only low anti-HBs levels; three male subjects remained anti-HBs negative. Twelve months after the fourth inoculation only 9 of 25 subjects (36%) maintained anti-HBs titer 〉10 IU/l. Almost all subjects had normal B-cell and CD-4 and CD-8 counts and ratios. Relative to other European populations HLA-A-10 (P〈0.05), B-12 (P〈0.025), CW-5 (P〈0.05), DR-3 (P〈0.025), and DR-5 (P〈0.025) were increased, whereas DR-2 (P〈0.05) was decreased. However, after correction of theP-values for the number of HLA antigens determined, these differences were no longer significant. Furthermore, these HLA types were not the same as those reported in other studies (except for DR-3). We suggest that larger sample sizes or even not yet available immunogenetic markers will be required to prove an “immunogenetic background” in low/nonresponders, if it exists.

    Notes: Summary In the last five years, genetic markers for a large number of diseases have been localised using linkage analysis of DNA polymorphisms in affected families. The site of the genetic defect or defects leading to Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, a common illness with a major genetic component, remains unknown. This is due, at least in part, to the lack of large well-defined Type 2 diabetic pedigrees suitable for linkage analysis. There are several features of the disease which make large pedigrees difficult to find. The late age of onset of most probands means that informative older generations are often dead, while there is difficulty in detecting disease in younger generations. The diagnostic criteria for diabetes are, as yet, dependent on an arbitrary cut-off along a continuum of plasma glucose. The high prevalence of the disease may also produce problems as, in any given family, diabetogenic genes may be contributed by more than one parent. Varieties of the disease with a well-defined inheritance, such as maturity onset diabetes of youth, are more suitable for linkage analysis but might be due to defects at a different gene locus. Despite these difficulties, once large well-defined pedigrees have been found, linkage analysis using both candidate genes and random highly polymorphic markers is the strategy most likely to find genetic markers for the disease.

    Linkage analysis of the human insulin receptor gene in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic families and a family with maturity onset diabetes of the young (1988)

    Notes: Summary The possibility of linkage between the human insulin receptor gene locus and diabetes was examined in three Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic families and one family with maturity onset diabetes of the young. Insulin receptor gene haplotypes were established using BglII, Rsal and Sstl restriction enzyme digests of genomic DNA from all available family members. The digested DNA was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, Southern blotted, and hybridised to 32P-labelled human insulin receptor gene cDNA. In the pedigree with maturity onset diabetes of the young, formal linkage analysis allowed exclusion of close linkage between the insulin receptor locus and diabetes (logarithm of the odds for linkage versus non-linkage was −5.35 at recombination fraction of 0.01). This confirms the absence of linkage between insulin receptor and diabetes which has been reported in two similar pedigrees. In the three Type 2 diabetic families there were a minimum of 4 recombinants between the insulin receptor locus and diabetes, which makes a direct role for insulin receptor defects unlikely. The importance of using realistic estimates of penetrance when performing linkage analysis in a disease with a late age of onset is emphasised. In contrast to the one previous linkage analysis study of the insulin receptor gene, no specific association of diabetes with the rare Sstl Sl(-) allele was observed in either the maturity onset diabetes of the young or the Type 2 diabetic families.

    Notes: Abstract Two siblings with typical features of the Cockayne syndrome were studied at autopsy. Many glomeruli revealed a paucity of capillary loops and had thickened capillary walls. Some glomeruli with advanced lesions showed collapse of the glomerular tufts or complete hyalinization. Atrophy of tubules and interstitial fibrosis were also observed. There were no significant arteriosclerotic changes in the vessels. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated thickened glomerular basement membranes with bends and folds. These histopathological findings are different to those previously reported with the exception of the 1966 report by Ohno and Hirooka.

    Notes: Abstract C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mouse strains have been characterized as morphine preferrers and avoiders, respectively (Horowitz et al. 1977). Previously, sweetened morphine solutions were presented with a water alternative, primarily with male subjects. Because sweetness may affect the endogenous opioid system and rodents have shown strain and sex differences in taste preferences, this study looked for strain- and gender-related taste preferences that might have affected opiate consumption. Preference for sweetened and unsweetened morphine and etonitazene was compared across gender and strain. In all choice tests, the control was a similar tasting quinine sulphate solution. Under these conditions, C57BL/6J mice continued to show strong preference for morphine. However, DBA/2J mice drank approximately equal amounts of morphine and quinine solutions, rather than avoiding morphine as when water was the alternative. Both strains appeared surprisingly indifferent to the synthetic opioid etonitazene, compared because it is potent at concentrations having barely perceptible bitterness. This raises the possibility of unexpected differences in post-ingestional effects between morphine and etonitazene. Contrary to reports of gender differences in sweet preference in rats, none were found in either strain of mouse. Neither were there any significant sex differences in opiate preference in either strain. C57 mice preferred sweetness more than did DBA mice.

    Notes: Abstract Four strains of mice (C57, BALB, DBA, C3H) were used to determine whether genetic factors influence the effects of lithium on hypoactivity induced by a low dose of the alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine (0.2 mg/kg). Lithium was administered in the diet for 3–4 weeks at a dosage that produced average serum lithium levels of 0.58–0.66 mmol/l. Locomotor activity was reduced by either clonidine or by lithium given alone. When combined, however, lithium attenuated the activity-suppressant effects of clonidine, and that action was influenced by genetic factors. The findings suggest that genetic differences in alpha2-adrenoceptors play a role in behavioural effects of lithium.

    Environmental variables differentially affect ethanol-stimulated activity in selectively bred mouse lines (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Low doses of ethanol (EtOH) stimulate activity in an open field in many strains of laboratory mice. We are selectively breeding two lines of mice to exhibit a large (FAST) response on this test, and two other lines to exhibit a small (SLOW) response (Crabbe et al. 1987). The lines initially diverged in response to EtOH, but despite continued selection pressure, the difference between each pair of FAST and SLOW lines has not increased over generations as much as expected. Our practice has been to test animals on the 1st day after saline injection, and repeat the test after EtOH injection 24 h later. Lister (1987) recently demonstrated that the order in which an animal was exposed to EtOH and saline influenced the magnitude of the response to EtOH, with animals tested initially after EtOH having greater stimulation. Middaugh et al. (1987) recently demonstrated that the magnitude of EtOH stimulation was greater under conditions of relatively bright light than under dim light. Using non-selected Swiss mice, the current experiments essentially confirmed Lister's findings. Using FAST and SLOW mice, the predictions of both groups were tested. Both hypotheses were confirmed. Additionally, these experiments demonstrated that the magnitude of the difference between FAST and SLOW mice was greater under bright light than under dim light. The line difference was also greater when tested in the EtOH-Saline order. In experiments with Swiss mice, the possible role of peritoneal irritation in the EtOH effect was eliminated, and the optimal dose and time for demonstrating the effect was determined. These experiments confirm the importance of lighting condition, order of testing, dose, and route of administration in eliciting EtOH-stimulated open field activity in mice. They demonstrate a genotype-environment interaction, since the magnitude of difference between genetically selected lines varied as a function of the testing parameters chosen. Finally, they indicate that the differences between FAST and SLOW lines in sensitivity to EtOH generalizes to several environmental conditions. We interpret this to mean that the various EtOH-induced activation traits represented by these different environmental and testing conditions are genetically correlated.

    Notes: Summary Within the broader context of our investigations into the heredity of the human EEG, we analysed the EEGs of 28 pairs of monozygotic and 21 pairs of dizygotic twins who were separated as infants and reared apart. The principal goal of this study was to determine the degree to which environmental factors possibly influence the development of a person's EEG. Monozygotic twins reared apart were, with respect to their EEGs, only slightly less similar to each other (if there is any difference at all) than the same person is to himself over time. For dizygotic twins reared apart, we verified the findings of our previous study, namely, that the average within-pair similarity of EEGs estimated from a sufficiently representative sample of fraternal twins was significantly higher than the average inter-individual similarity of EEGs obtained from unrelated persons. The results on both monozygotic and dizygotic twins, yielded conclusive proof that the individual EEG pattern is predominantly determined by hereditary factors.

    Notes: Summary A 4-year-search for spinal muscular atrophies (hereditary motor neuropathies, HMN) in Benghazi, Libya, yielded a total of 24 patients, among whom 18 were index cases. This group comprised 6 acute infantile, 12 chronic childhood, and 3 each with adult-onset proximal, and distal forms of the disorder. Distal HMN constituted 12.5% of the total cases. The crude average annual incidence of acute infantile HMN was 0.3/100,000 total population and 1/12,500 births in Benghazi. The crude prevalence rates of chronic childhood, adult-onset proximal, and distal types of HMN were 2.3, 0.6, and 0.6/100,000 respectively. The segregation ratios, 0.26 for acute infantile HMN and 0.24 for chronic childhood HMN, suggested autosomal recessive inheritance. The consanguinity rates among parents of cases and the population did not differ significantly.

    Notes: Summary Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) have been identified between widely distant cultivars (‘Minsoy’ and ‘Noir 1 ’) of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill. Using as probes randomly chosen clones of DNA, one in five probes revealed a polymorphism. More than half of these polymorphisms appear to result from rearrangements of the genomic DNA. Twenty seven markers were analyzed for linkage in F2 plants. Eleven of these markers were contained in four linkage groups. Five cultivars were compared in a search for new alleles. When RFLP markers corresponding to low copy DNA were used to analyze three other cultivars — ‘Sooty’, ‘Forrest’ and ‘Mandarin (Ottawa)’ — few new alleles were found. Using these probes, five different markers could be used to differentiate the five cultivars. Complex probes, which correspond to repeated DNA, revealed different polymorphisms in different cultivars and a single such probe could be used to distinguish the five cultivars from each other.

    Notes: Summary Little is known about the biochemical correlates of selection for growth in farm or laboratory animals, or the identity of the gene products affected or produced by ‘trait-genes’. Modern broiler chickens have about 8-fold greater breast muscle mass than layer chickens at 7 weeks of age and over 2-fold greater breast muscle mass than their 1972 counterparts. This increase in muscle mass is associated with over 20-fold higher levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in broiler chickens at 1 week of age as compared with layer strain chickens; there is a comparable increase in a relaxed-selection strain of broilers. The increase in ODC levels is larger than the differences in muscle or body weight between broilers and layers at 7 weeks of age, occurs at an age when there is no difference in weights between the strains and precedes the major growth spurt. Increases in ODC levels and hence polyamine synthesis have been associated with, and usually precede, rapid growth and cell proliferation in a wide range of cell types and organisms in response to many different stimuli. Therefore, the correlation of ODC levels with genetic differences in muscle growth make it worth investigating the control of ODC gene expression in these strains.

    Notes: Summary Separations of kafirin and alcohol soluble glutelin proteins by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) from 7 inbreds and one hybrid of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and one source of Johnsongrass [Sorghum halapense (L.) Pers.] were compared. Objectives were to assess the stability of protein profiles for seed sources produced at different locations and in different environments to examine the potential of RP-HPLC to provide genotypic profiles for sorghum. Analyses of variance data showed that levels of variation due to environments and locations were small; the majority of variation (93%) was among genotypes. Associations among inbreds revealed by multivariate and cluster analysis showed similarity with those that would be expected on the basis of pedigree. A chi-square analysis showed no deviation in the hybrid profile from the expected 2∶1 ratio of peaks from the female and male inbred parents, respectively. Improvements in the ability to correctly assign common peaks are necessary before associations among numerous sorghum genotypes can be reliably demonstrated by analysis of data from reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).

    Notes: Summary The effect of genotype on maternal haploid plant production in maize was studied. The frequency of gynogenetic plants when “Stock 6” was used as pollinator varied according to the female parent genotype. No simple relation was observed between genotypic aptitudes for gynogenetic and androgenetic development, which occured after pollination of “W23” plant carrying the “indeterminate gametophyte” gene. Furthermore, the population NS, a favorably responsive genotype to anther culture, does not exhibit exceptional ability for in vivo gynogenesis. The effect of inbreeding and the influence of maternal haploid origin suggest that specific genes control maternal haploid initiation and development. However, gynogenetic development is not limited to a particular genotype. The frequency of maternal haploids may be increased by using specific pollen parents. Attempts were made to select for a high haploidyinducing trait and the present study reports the successful development of lines that can be utilized as pollen parents to induce haploids for experimental purposes and breeding programmes. When an inbred line “WS14”, derived from the cross W23 x Stock 6, was used as pollen parent, 2%–5% maternal haploids were obtained according to the female parent genotype. A high haploidy-inducing potential is a heritable trait and may be controlled by a limited number of genes. Genetic determination of the haploidy-inducing character was examined in relation to the efficiency of the selecting method and the mechanisms involved in the origin of maternal haploids.

    Notes: Summary A total of 70 cnx mutants have been characterized from a collection of 211 nitrate reductase deficient (NR-) mutants isolated from mutagenized Nicotiana plumbaginifolia protoplast cultures after chlorate selection and regeneration into plants. They are presumed to be affected in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor since they are also deficient for xanthine dehydrogenase activity but contain NR apoenzyme. The remaining clones were classified as nia mutants. Sexual crosses performed between cnx mutants allowed them to be classified into six independent complementation groups. Mutants representative of these complementation groups were used for somatic hybridization experiments with the already characterized N. plumbaginifolia mutants NX1, NX24, NX23 and CNX103 belonging to the complementation groups cnxA, B, C and D respectively. On the basis of genetic analysis and somatic hybridization experiments, two new complementation groups, cnxE and F, not previously described in higher plants, were characterized. Unphysiologically high levels of molybdate can restore the NR activity of cnxA mutant seedlings in vivo, but cannot restore NR activity to any mutant from the other cnx complementation groups.

    Notes: Abstract The human-type ABO blood groups were determined for 94 families of the squirrel monkey which included 151 animals. Four phenotypes of ABO blood groups (A, B, AB, and O) were detected. Family analysis revealed that the human-type ABO blood groups in this species were governed by three alleles, codominantA andB and silentO. There were intraspecific differences in the distribution of phenotypes and gene frequency among three populations imported by different routes at different times. The usefulness of ABO blood groups for defining the genetic variability of a squirrel monkey breeding colony through successive generations is discussed on the basis of the difference in distribution of ABO blood groups between wild-originated parental and its first colony-born populations.

    Notes: Photolysis of N-alkyl-N-(3-aryl-3-butenyl) ureas (1) in acetonitrile gave cyclization products, 3-aryl-3-methyl-pyrrolidines, in good yields, whereas irradiation of 1 in methanol afforded methanol adducts as well as the cyclization products. Both the reactions are singlet reactions, and the cyclization is presumed to proceed via 1,6-hydrogen transfer from exciplexes with charge transfer character.

    Notes: The dependence of the catalytic efficiencies of sodium carboxymethylamylose (NaCMA) for the hydrolysis of N-lauryl-3-acetoxypyridinium iodide (1) and p-nitrophenyl dodecanoate (3) on its degree of substitution (D. S. = 0·00, 0·12, 0·18, 0·24, 0·29 and 0·35) and on the pH values of the solutions (pH = 7·32, 7·80, 8·10 and 9·30) have been studied. At fixed D. S. values, the observed hydrolysis rates of 1 and 3 increase with increasing concentrations of NaCMA and follow saturation kinetics. At fixed concentration of NaCMA, the rates increase with decreasing D. S. values until they reach maxima at D. S. = 0·00. Furthermore, at any D. S. value the catalytic efficiency increases with increasing pH values of the solutions. All these results indicate that the hydroxyl groups are actually the principal catalyzing groups.

    Notes: The photochemical reaction of MAQO with various aromatic amines were studied by ESR. The results show that nitroxide radicals are stable productrs of the photooxidation of both diphenylamines and phenylamines. The photolyzed phenothiazine does not yield nitroxide as the final product, instead it gives the neutral radical as the stable final product.

    Notes: The equilibrium acidities of phenylacetonitrile, and 20 of its m- and p-substituted derivatives have been measured in Me2SO solution. Their pKa′s plot linearly with those of the corresponding anilines. Combination of the pKa′s of these acids with their oxidation potentials, Eox(HA), and those of their conjugate bases, Eox(A-), provide an estimate of the acidities of the corresponding radical cations. The pKHA+ values for ArCH2CN+., where Ar is Ph, 1- and 2-naphthyl, and 9-anthryl, are -32, -18·5, -17·5, and -11, respectively, compared to 21·9, 20·85, 20·65, and 19·8 for the corresponding ArCH2CN acids. Acidities of PhCH(Me)CN+., Ph2CHCN+., 9-CN-FlH+., and 9-CN-XnH+. are -33, -35, -25, and -27, respectively, compared to 23·0, 17·5, 8·3, and 13·6 for the corresponding acids from which they were derived. The homolytic bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for the benzylic C—H bonds in these arylacetonitriles, estimated by combining pKHA with Eox(A-), fall in the range of 69 kcal/mol for 9-CN-XnH to 82 kcal/mol for PhCH2CN. For GC6H4CH2CN+. radical cations the acidities are decreased, relative to G=H, when G is an electron donor substituent and increased when G is an acceptor. The BDEs of the benzylic C—H bonds in GC6H4CH2CN are weakened by up to 4 kcal/mol by para donors and strengthened by up to 1·2 kcal/mol by m- or p-acceptors. The significance of these changes in BDEs with regard to the use of σ. scales and the ΔAOP method for estimating substituent effects on radical stabilities is discussed.

    Notes: Decomposition of the tosylhydrazone salts formed from cubyl carboxaldehyde and homocubanone, potential precursors of cubylcarbene (5) and homocubanylidene (6), leads in each case to products derived from 6. It is suggested that homocub-1(9)-ene (7) is the active ingredient in the formation of 6 from both precursors. The hydrazones formed from N-aziridylamines are useful photochemical sources of 6, and presumably other carbenes. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of the tosyl hydrazone salts and hydrazones at 600°C leads to indene.

In contrast with the conversion to the cyclopentyne derivative (9), selenium containing intermediates (6a, 6b, and 7) were efficiently trapped using several reagents to give various kinds of organoselenium compounds. Of particular note is the isolation of a stable selenirane derivative (16) obtained by the cycloaddition of the photochemically generated selenirene intermediate (7) with furan. The character and reactivity of the intermediates are also discussed.

    Notes: Reduction of aromatic aldehydes by benzeneselenol is found to be promoted by molecular oxygen to give corresponding alcohols in good yields. No reduction took place without oxygen.A free radical process involving SH2 reaction at the selenium atom is proposed where the phenylseleno radical attacks the selenium atom of selenohemiacetal, the adduct of benzeneselenol to aldehyde, to give the ketyl radical which then abstracts hydrogen from benzeneselenol. The intermediacy of selenohemiacetal is supported by a quantitative reduction of α-methoxybenzyl phenyl selenide, which is used as a model compound of the intermediate.

    Notes: The dependency of the wrapping-up capability of sodium carboxymethylamylose (NaCMA) on its degree of substitution (D. S. = 0·00, 0·12, 0·18, 0·24, 0·29, 0·35 and 0·41) have been studied, using two guest species, iodine and cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The λmax values of NaCMA-iodine helical inclusion complexes decrease with increasing D. S. values and the amounts of encapsulated iodine by NaCMA as measured by amperometric titrations also decrease with increasing D. S. values. With CTAB as the substrate, the largest number of binding sites, n, and the dissociation constants Kd have been determined by the method of surface tension versus the CTAB concentration plots. The results show that n decreases while Kd increases with increasing D. S. values. All these observations point to the fact that the wrapping-up capability of NaCMA decreases with increasing degrees of substitution. The results are discussed in terms of host-guest and host-solvent hydrophobic-lipophilic interactions as well as intramolecular hydrogen-bonding.

    Notes: The temperature-dependence of the kinetic isotope effects for branched reactions proceeding via a common intermediate has been simulated by calculations. It is shown that, under certain conditions, anomalously small isotope effects on the Arrhenius preexponential factors, as well as unusually large observed isotope effects, may originate from the branching.

    Notes: The structures of the allyl anion (1) and two fluoro-substituted derivatives, perfluoro (2) and 1,1-difluoro (3) have been calculated by ab inito molecular orbital theory. Geometries were gradient optimized, and force fields and an MP-2 correlation correction were determined at stationary points. The calculations were done with a double zeta basis set augmented by d functions on carbon (DZ + Dc). Final self-consistent field (SCF) and MP-2 energy calculations were done with the DZ + Dc basis set augmented by diffuse functions. The ground state of 1 is the planar allyl anion (C2v). The rotation barrier in 1 is 21·1 kcal/mol at the MP-2 level. The cyclopropyl carbanion is 27·0 kcal/mol higher in energy at the MP-2 level. The perfluoroallyl anion is not planar, and the rotated structure is 25·7 kcal/mol more stable than the C2v structure at the MP-2 level. The lowest energy structure on the potential energy surface for 2 is the perfluorocyclopropyl carbanion which is 27·8 kcal/mol more stable than the C2v structure at the MP-2 level. The 1,1-difluoroallyl anion is also not planar. Here the most stable structure on the potential energy surface is the rotated allyl anion which is 8·3 kcal/mol more stable than the all-planar allyl anion structure.

    Notes: From the 1H-NMR spectra of the various pyrrole compounds, 1-substituted 2,5-dimethylpyrroles having two substituent groups on the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen atom were found to be very much hindered compounds. 1-[(1-Substituted)-2-phenylethyl]-2,5-dimethylpyrroles showed the restricted rotation, and the phenyl group of the most stable conformer was in close proximity to the pyrrole group due to dipole interaction. These NMR observations were supported by force field conformational analysis.

    Notes: New series of platinum complexes of cyclopropenylidenes of the types of PtX2(CP)2 and trans-PtX(PBu3)2(CP) have been synthesized, where CP is di-t-butylcyclopropenylidene (BCP) or bis(diisopropylamino)cyclopropenylidene (ACP). The 13C-NMR chemical shifts, and 13C-195Pt coupling constants (1JPtC) for the complexes are discussed in comparison with those values derived from closely related series of compounds, trans-PtCl(PR3)2L; L — —CH3, —C6H5 and —C≡CBu-t. An excellent linear relationship through the origin was obtained between 1JPtC and the formal ‘s’ % character of the carbon directly bonded to Pt for the series trans-PtCl(PR3)2L in which the Pt—C bond is regarded as a pure σ-linkage, whereas 1JPtC deviates largely from this relationship when pπ—dπ bonding interaction possibly exists in the Pt—C bond. The NMR data suggest the strong nmr trans-influence of the cyclopropenylidenes and that in the Pt—CP bond the σ-interaction is appreciable but the π-interaction is negligible.

    Notes: The effect of solvent additives on the course of TiO2 photocatalyzed oxygenation of α-methylstyrene has been studied. While the addition of small amounts of nonhalogenated alcohols to TiO2 powders suspended in acetonitrile was found to decrease the rate of photooxygenation, added halogenated alcohols increase the rate of reaction. In addition, the solvent additives affect the observed product distribution.

    Notes: A novel oxygen induced reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is discovered. The reduction of the carbon-carbon double bond of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by benzeneselenol was caused by an introduction of molecular oxygen into the reaction system. This reduction is likely to proceed via a radical chain pathway involving an SH2 type reaction between a phenylseleno radical and a 1,2-adduct of benzeneselenol to the carbonyl group of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound to give an allylic radical which absracts a hydrogen atom from benzeneselenol to form the reduction product.

    Notes: The development of positive charge β to silicon in a saturated five-membered ring has been studied in the cis- and trans-2-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentyl trifluoroacetates. The cis substrate solvolyzes in 97% trifluoroethanol at 25° C about 5 times faster than the analogous six-membered ring, after correction for differences in ring strain. The trans substrate solvolyzes about 360 times more slowly than the analogous six-membered ring. These changes are in agreement with a hyperconjugative mechanism for interaction between the silyl group and the developing positive charge. The expected cosine-squared dependence of hyperconjugation on the Si—C—C—X dihedral angle suggests that the cis dihedral angle is reduced somewhat from the 60° in the six-membered ring, and the trans dihedral angle is reduced substantially from the 180° in the six-membered ring.

    Concerning the weakness of intramolecular general acid catalysis in the hydrolysis of vinyl ethers. o-carboxy-α-methoxy-β,β-dimethylstyrene (1988)

    Notes: The rate of hydrolysis of the aromatic vinyl ether o-carboxy-α-methoxy-β,β-dimethylstyrene was found to be accelerated 25-fold by ionization of its carboxylic acid group, but the effective molarity which may be calculated if all of this rate acceleration is ascribed to intramolecular general acid catalysis is only EM = 1 · 1 m. This is similar to the small effective molarities found before for intramolecular catalysis by carboxylic acid groups of aliphatic vinyl ethers, which shows that, unlike the situation in other intramolecular reactions, e.g. ketone enolization, the extra rigidity of aromatic over aliphatic systems does not improve the efficiency of intramolecular catalysis in vinyl ether hydrolysis.It is suggested that this behaviour is the result of reduced conjugation between the vinyl ether group and the aromatic ring in the transition state of the vinyl ether hydrolysis reaction, which retards the rate and offsets any improvement effected by increased rigidity of the aromatic system.

    Notes: Ab initio STO-3G and 6-31G minimized geometries of 5-oxo- (9), 6-oxo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl cation (12) and 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl cation (15) were obtained. The energy barriers for their Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements to the more stable 5-oxo- (11), 6-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl (13) and 3-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl (17) cations, respectively, have been evaluated and compared with those calculated for the rearrangement of the 5-oxo (18) and 6-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl cations (20). In agreement with experimental data, the ‘true migratory aptitude’ of an acyl group is higher than that of β-oxoalkyl group in competitive Wagner-Meerwein rearrangments that are ‘energetically unbiased’. The ease of the acyl group 1,2-shift toward an electron-deficient center is related to the electron-donating ability of the carbonyl group due to favorable n(CO) ↔ σ σ ↔ p(C+) hyperconjugative interaction.

    Notes: Iodide ion promotes the free radical reaction of isopropylmercury idide with bromotrichloromethane to yield isopropyl bromide with rate enhancement in the order of 104. The reaction involves electron transfer from i-PrHgI2- to the trichloromethyl radical in a long kinetic chain process. Iodide ion also promotes the free radical chain conjugate addition of tert-butylmercury chloride to α,β-unsaturated ketones, esters, phosphonate esters and sulfones. Competitive reactivity studies indicate that lithium di-tert-butylcuprates or tri-tert-butylzincates react with 2-cycloalkenones by a mechanism involving attack by tert-butyl radicals. No evidence for radical attack is observed for the corresponding n-butyl ate complexes of copper or zinc.

    Notes: The excellent linearity (R2 = 0·997) of a plot of pKa values for 17 m- and p-substituted benzyl phenyl sulfones, GC6H4CH2SO2Ph, vs. those for the corresponding arylacetonitrile, GC6H4CH2CN, demonstrates that substituent solvation and substituent solvation assisted resonance (SSAR) effects for p-CN, p-COPh, and p-SPh are nearly identical in these two substrates. The PhSO2 group in PhCH2SO2Ph increases the BDE of the α-C—H bond by 2 kcal/mol, relative to toluene. The α-C—H bonds in GC6H4CH2SO2Ph sulfones are stabilized by 1-2 kcal/mol by acceptor G′s (m-CN, p-CN, m-CF3, p-CF3), but weakened by 1 and 5 kcal/mol, respectively, by donors (p-OMe and p-NMe2). The GC6H4CH2SO2Ph+. radical cation with G = H has a pKHA+. = -25. Its acidity is increased when G is an acceptor by as much as 9 to 10 kcal/mol (G = 3-CN, 3-CF3, 4-CF3, 4-NO2), but is decreased when G is a donor by as much as 33 kcal/mol (G = NMe2). When G = 4-SPh the radical cation is stabilized, relative to G = H, by a larger amount (25 kcal/mol) than when G = 4-OMe (18 kcal/mol). Structural changes along the series PhCH2SO2Ph, 2-naphthyl-CH2SO2Ph, 9-anthryl CH2SO2Ph cause negligible changes in the acidities of these acids, but sizable decreases in the acidities of the corresponding radical cations. Introduction of a phenylsulfonyl group into the methyl group of 9-methylanthracene or the 9-position of fluorene or xanthene increase the BDEs by 3, 2, and 7 kcal/mol, respectively. These effects of PhSO2 groups are compared and contrasted with those of CN groups.

    Notes: The PE spectra of four stable bicyclic triaziridines with trifluoromethyl, methyl, phenyl, spirocyclopentane and spirocyclohexane substituents are measured. From a comparison of these experimental data with MNDO calculations the energies and the interactions of the nitrogen lone-pair orbitals were obtained. The trifluoromethyl group may be reliably simulated by a fluorine atom. The ionization potentials are unexpectedly high and so are the cyclovoltammetric anodic potentials. The MNDO valence electron densities are in agreement with the comparatively small differences in the chemical shifts of the differently substituted nitrogens of the triaziridine rings.

    Notes: In order to examine the substituent effect of ethylenedithio and trimethylenedithio groups on electron acceptors, the two title compounds were prepared in one step from the corresponding quinones. These species behave as weak π-electron acceptors owing to the electronic and sterical effects of the fused groups. Only the bis(ethylenedithio) derivative formed a charge-transfer complex with tetrathiotetracene, which showed a moderate electric conductivity of 2·0 × 10-2 S cm-1. In addition, both species oxidized copper, sodium, and potassium iodides to give the corresponding deeply colored metal salts, most of which were semiconductive. The naphtho analogs were similarly studied, but hardly served as electron acceptors.

The ionic oxidation of benzyl methyl sulfide in benzene by 1-4 yielded the sulfoxide and the metastable α-azo hydroxides in essentially quantitative yield. The reaction was of the first order in α-azo hydroperoxide and sulfide, respectively. The relative reactivity series found was: 1(1.0) 〈4(1.4) 〈 phenylazo(4-anisyl)methyl hydroperoxide 5 (2·9) 〈2 (3·8) 〈 3 (9·6). α-Methyl substitution was found to slow the rate of oxygen-atom trasfer by a factor of 2 to 2.5. The low relative reactivity of 1 was opposite that expected based on electronic effects. Competitive intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the hydroperoxy proton to the pyridyl nitrogen in 1 accounted for the observed result.

    Notes: Photoresponse of the poly(vinyl chloride) membranes, which contain spirobenzopyran and crown ether, covered with a urease layer was studied in the presence and absence of urea. In the absence of urea, UV light irradiation induced more than 160 mV of membrane potential change, whereas the photoresponse decreased with an increase in the concentration of urea in the solution. The effects of such operating variables as crown loading and pH and ionic strength in the aqueous phase on the potentiometric response were also elucidated in the presence of urea. The results were explicated using the fact that the local concentration on NH4+ and H+ ions changed as a result of the urease-catalyzed decomposition reaction of urea.

    Notes: Triethylsilyl radical was generated by laser flash photolysis of a 1:1 (v/v) solution of triethylsilane and di-tert-butyl peroxide. The silicon centered radical was reacted with sulfides to give carbon centered radicals by displacement at sulfur. The carbon radicals were readily detected by their transient absorption spectra. The absolute rate of reaction of triethylsilyl radical with 9-fluorenylphenylsulfide, di-n-butylsulfide, di-sec-butyl sulfide, di-tert-butyl sulfide and di-n-butyl disulfide are 2.40 ± 0.12 × 108 M-1S-1, 1.1 × 107±0.89×106M-1S-1, 8.79± 0.73×106M-1S-1, 3.29±0.18×106 M-1S-1, and 3.41±0.09×108 M-1S-1, respectively.

    Notes: Treatment of α, α′ -diketo selenides, which recently became readily obtainable, with base affords α-oxo selenoaldehydes and ketones. The seleno-carbonyl compounds thus formed are reactive transient species, but can be trapped by Diels-Alder reaction to give 3,6-dihydro-2H-selenapyran derivatives in moderate to good yields.

    Ethenediylidene-2,2′ -bis(1,3-dithiole) and butatriene-1,4-diylidene-2,2′-bis(1,3-dithiole) (1988)

    Notes: This paper describes the synthesis and electrochemical behavior of dicationic salts of ethenediylidene-2,2′ -bis(1,3-dithiole) (3) and butatriene-1,4-diylidene-2,2′ -bis(1,3-dithiole) (4). These are expected as donor components for developing organic conducting and superconducting materials, on the grounds of high electron donating ability and of rigid skeletal structure with two and four cumulenic carbons inserted between two 1,3-dithioles. These salts were obtained in good overall yields by several steps starting from (2-morpholino-4,5-dimethyl or -diphenyl)-1,3-dithiolylium salt. From the 1H and 13C NMR, and electronic spectra it is suggested that the π conjugation between two 1,3-dithiolylium ions through an acetylenic bond is less effective than that through an olefinic bond of the corresponding salts of ethanediylidene-2,2′ -bis(1,3-dithiole) (1) and 2-butene-1,4-diylidene-2,2′-bis(1,3-dithiole) (2). The cyclic voltammetric study shows that the corresponding radical cations, and in particular 3 and 4, are less stable even at -40°C, thus providing reasons for our current lack of success in isolation of 3 and 4. From comparison of the first redox potentials of neutral species, it is deduced that the donating ability increases in the order of TTF 〈 1 ⋍ 2 ≲ 3 ≪ 4.

    Study on 5, 15-dialkylporphyrins interconversion between two conformers in solution (1988)

    Notes: Novel structural features of 5, 15-dialkylporphyrins in solution are described. The 1H-NMR spectra of these compounds showed broad signals at room temperature, which split into two sets of signals at lower temperatures. This unusual phenomenon was ascribed to a dynamic interconversion between tow distorted structures. The 5, 15-dialkylporphyrin has a distorted ring due to the steric hindrance between the 5(or 15)-alkyl group and the 3, 7(or 13, 17)-alkyl groups and, depending on the position of the 5, 15-alkyl groups relative to the average ring plane, can exist in two conformations; syn (where the two alkyl groups are on the same side of the ring plane) and anti (on the opposite sides). Preliminary kinetic study of this interconversion using the NMR line shape analyses is also reported.

    Notes: Highly sterically demanding 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyllithium (1) reacts with carbon disulfide to give 1,2-dibutylthio-1,2-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio) ethene (3), l-butylthio-1-(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio)pent-l-ene (4), and 2-butylthio-3-(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione (5) when 1 is prepared by the reaction of 1-bromo-2,4,6-tri-t-butylbenzene with n-butyllithium. When the reaction is carried out using 1 prepared from 2 and t-butyllithium and then quenched with l-iodoethane, 2-ethylthio-3-(2,4,6-tri-butylphenylthio)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione and 1,2-diethylthio-1,2-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio) ethene are produced. The formation of all these products can be explained in terms of initial thiophilic attack of 1 on the sulfur of carbon disulfide and an intermediate with a dual property of carbanion and carbene (i.e., ArSC(Li)(=S) ⇌ ArSC̈SLi) is suggested. The reaction of 1 with thiophosgene affords 1,2-dichloro-1,2-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio) ethene, bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylthio)acetylene, and 1-chloro 2,4,6-tri-t-butylbenzene, the first two of which are explained to be formed by thiophilic attack of 1 with thiophosgene.

    Notes: The photolysis of benzoinalkylethers 1-5 solubilized in detergents show a significant deviation from the course of reaction in isotropic organic solvents. Remarkable difference in photobehaviour is noticed between the short chain (1-3) and the long chain (4 and 5) benzoinalkylethers in the micellar media. However, the influence of the micellar media on the photobehaviour of alkyldeoxybenzoins 6 and 7 was small. The importance of ‘cage effect’ in controlling the product distribution was evident from its dependence on the micellar size and on the occupancy number. More importantly, a comparative analysis of the photobehaviour of the ketone 1-7 reveals that the micellar interface can be used to control the conformations of organic molecules.

    Notes: Theoretical studies on the reactions of ammonia with ketene and dimethylketene using the MNDO method are reported. The single step addition of ammonia to the olefinic bond of ketenes was found to provide a lower energy-barrier path than the two step carbonyl addition mechanism. The barrier height was lower in the reaction of keten compared with that of dimethylketene in support of the faster rate of solution phase reactions of aniline and ketenes. The deformation energies of reactants had an overwhelming influence in determining the activation barriers in all the reactions investigated.

    Notes: Substrates with neutral leaving groups undergo unimolecular solvolysis in nonpolar solvents. Whereas t-alkyl substrates invariably solvolyze by a unimolecular mechanism, s-alkyl and primary alkyl substrates can undergo both uni and bimolecular reactions, and the bimolecular step can take place on either the substrate itself or on an intimate ion-molecule pair formed in either a pre-equilibrium or in a rate determining step. Study of reactions at borderlines indicates that the individual reaction types remain distinct and do not merge.

    Notes: The reaction of sulfur ylides with elemental sulfur or selenium initially affords thio- or seleno-carbonyl compounds, which then react with starting ylides to give episulfides or episelenides from which the heteroatom (sulfur or selenium) is extruded to give olefins as the final product. In the case of carbonyl-stabilized ylides, the resulting thio- or seleno-carbonyl compounds react with starting ylides to afford 1,3-oxathioles or 1,3-oxaselenoles as previously reported. Supporting evidence for the intermediacy of thio(seleno)-carbonyl compounds and episulfides (episelenides) is presented.

    Notes: The unique cellular and genetic events which occur during the first few hours of Drosophila embryogenesis suggest that there are genes whose function is entirely or largely limited to this stage; this is supported by both genetic and molecular evidence. To identify some of these genes and characterize the relative contribution of specifically maternal and specifically zygotic transcription to early embryogenesis, we used competition and differential screening of a Drosophila genomic DNA library to obtain blastoderm- and maternal-differential sequences [Roark et al.: Dev Biol 109:476-488, 1985]. We describe here the Eco RI restriction fragments, chromosomal location, and size and developmental pattern of expression of the RNAs transcribed from 19 maternal-differential sequences. Five sequences encode maternal-specific transcripts (50-150-fold more abundant in maternal RNA than at any other stage). The maternal-specific and maternal-differential sequences are located at single sites on all major chromosome arms. Comparison of these sites with the sites of presently mapped maternal-effect genes shows several possible correlations, including one region containing three maternal-effect lethal mutations and two maternalspecific sequences.

    Notes: Four female-sterile mutants, fs(l)K451, fs(1)K1214, fs(1)K575TS, and fs(1)384, were studied in terms of chorion structure and chorion protein composition. The first three of these mutants cause morphological defects, ie, substantial underproduction and disruption of the endochorion, correlated with underproduction of the six major chorion proteins, s15-s38; the phenotypes are consistent with the observation that these mutants interfere with amplification of the major chorion genes that encode the s15-s38 proteins [Orr et al.: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 81:3773-3777, 1984; Komitopoulou et al.: Dev Genet 7:75-80, 1986]. The fourth mutant, fs(1)384, and its alleles do not interfere with production of the major chorion proteins and the morphologically detectable bulk of the endochorion but lead to failure of endochorionic organization. Apparently this complementation group is responsible for a minor chorion product, which is evidently important morphogenetically and which is processed posttranslationally in a complex manner [Bauer and Waring: Dev Biol 121:349-358, 1987].

    Notes: The ovarian tumor gene behaves as if it encodes a product (OGP), which is required durirng several early steps in the transformation of oogonia into functional oocytes. Seventeen ethyl methane sulfonate-induced mutations have been studied, and their mutant phenotypes can be explained as graded responses by individual germ cells to different levels of OGP synthesized by the mutant germ cells themselves. The lowest and highest levels of OGP appear to be produced by otu10 and otu14, respectively. The 15 mutants with intermediate OGP levels are temperature sensitive; subnormal temperatures improve ovarian development, while above-normal temperatures suppress it. A subgroup ofthese mutants are unable to form a system of actin microfilament bundles in the cortical cytoplasm of their nurse cells during stage 10B, and these defective nurse cells are unable to transport their cytoplasm to the oocyte, as normally happens between stages 10B and 12. In addition to its role in the actin-mediated transport of nurse cell cytoplasm, OGP also appears to alter the morphology of giant polytene chromosomes, which form as the nurse cells undergo endocycles of DNA replication. Genetic evidence suggests that otu also encodes a second product (SP) that is utilized late in oogenesis. SP is required for the synthesis in the ooplasm of glycogen-rich, beta yolk spheres. Products of the otu gene also play a vital but unknown role in embryogenesis.

    Notes: Several lines of transgenic mice were produced by pronuclear injection of a full-length cDNA encoding a mutant dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR, E.C. 1.5.1.3). The mutation causes altered enzyme kinetics for folate reduction as well as low affinity for methotrexate (MTX). One line of mice carrying the plasmid displays a moderate-to-severe anemia that is evident in fetuses and newborn mice and that moderates with age. RNA studies revealed high levels of transcription of the mutant gene in the fetal and adult liver, and low or absent expression in adult bone marrow. Transcription of the mutant gene was not found in the fetal liver of other pedigrees examined. The data thus suggest that expression of this mutant gene in the main hematopoietic organ of the fetus adversely affects erythropoiesis by altering the cellular environment for erythroid differentiation, and that translocation of the site of hematopoiesis to bone marrow, where the foreign gene is not expressed, leads to normalization of red cell production.

    Notes: In D. hydei two new mutants, In(1)f3 and IN(5)Z, show obvious mosaic gene expression. Their phenotypic expression is susceptible to the breeding temperature and to the addition of a supernumerary Y chromosome to the chromosome set. In this respect the mutants resemble standard cases of position-effect variegation based on the action of heterochromatin. However, since neither centromeric nor sex chromosomal heterochromatin apparently are involved, the mutations point to a new type of variegation provoked by euchromatic sections. The mosaic patterns of these mutants, in particular those of In(1)f3, will be described.

    Notes: Cadmium is a toxic metal that induces the expression of metallothionein genes in many tissues and that binds avidly to metallothionein, a soluble transition metal binding protein. The present study examined the temporal pattern and magnitude of accumulation of metallothionein mRNA in liver of C57BL/6J mice of various ages treated with cadmium. In adult female mice, accumulation was dependent on the dosage level of cadmium and related to the concentration of this metal in liver. The accumulation of metallothionein mRNA in liver depended on age at exposure to cadmium. Intraperitoneal administration of 2 mg of cadmium per kg provoked small increases (two- to threefold) in levels of metallothionein mRNA in livers of 7- and 14-day-old mice. In contrast, cadmium treatment of 28- and 56-day-old mice resulted in 12- to 19-fold increases in levels of metallothionein mRNA in liver with maximum increases occurring 3 to 4 hr after treatment. Because similar patterns for the accumulation of cadmium of liver were found in 7-, 28-, and 56-day-old mice, observed age-dependent differences in induction of metallothionein mRNA in liver were probably not due to differences in the accumulation of cadmium in this organ. Taken together, these data suggest that tissue-specific factors controlling the expression of metallothionein genes may account for developmental variation in the inducibility of these genes by cadmium. Ontogenic variation in accumulation of metallothionein mRNA after cadmium treatment may be a factor in developmental variation in the acute lethality of cadmium in C57BL/6J mice.

    Notes: Cell cultures of the carrot Daucus carota are a useful experimental system for studying the genetic regulation of plant embryogenesis. A modified filtration-enrichment procedure was used to isolate 21 temperature-sensitive variants in somatic embryogenesis; the variants display normal embryo development at the permissive temperature (24°C) and altered development at the restrictive temperature (33°C). Temperature-shift experiments were performed on these variants to determine the timing of gene action for the putative temperature-sensitive alleles. According to their phenotypes at the restrictive temperature, these variants can be divided into six classes: No Growth, Callus Proliferation, Globularstage Block, Oblong-stage Block, Lateral Growth, and Root Formation. Although many variants exhibit lengthy temperature-sensitive periods, the temperature sensitivity of some variants is restricted to one or two embryonic stages. These results plus those in the literature are incorporated into a preliminary model concerning the genetic regulation of carrot embryogenesis.

    Notes: The tissue specificity of the lethal yellow mutant was investigated by separation of blastocyst tissues. Embryos from experimental (Ay/ae × Ay/ae) and control (ae/ae × Ay/ae) crosses of the AG/CamPa inbred strain were recovered at 3.5 days post coitum, cultured for 24 hours, and then mechanically dissected into the component tissues of the blastocyst, the inner cell mass (ICM), and trophectoderm. These fragments were then cultured separately, with or without a feeder layer of inactivated fibroblasts, for an additional 3-5 days. Comparisons between experimental and control crosses indicated that the lethal Ay/Ay embryos were among the blastocysts successfully dissected but that both the ICM and trophectoderm from lethal embryos failed to develop further in vitro, eithal with or without feeders.With retrospective identification of the lethal embryos, it was found that at 4.5 days, after 1 day of culture, they had formed morphologically normal blastocysts but were frequently more fragile upon dissection and had smaller ICMs. Although none had hatched from the zona pellucida, some had ruptured it and were halfway out. With culture, lethal ICMs showed no development, and lethal trophectoderm usually attached but showed very limited outgrowth. Thus, no rescue of lethal tissue was shown with dissection and in vitro culture, and results are consistent with the gene affecting both tissues of the late blastocyst.

    Identification and expression of the gap segmentation gene hunchback in drosophila melanogaster (1988)

    Notes: Genetic analysis has shown that the gap segmentation gene hunchback (hb) is a member of the genetic hierarchy involved in pattern formation in Drosophila. To identify the hb gene, we have mapped the position of hb mutant breakpoints within a chromosomal walk of the 85A region by genomic Southern blots and determined the transcription pattern of DNA from the walk. We detect a single gene within the domain defined by breakpoint mapping. We conclude that we have identified the hunchback gene because three mutations that inactivate hb physically interrupt or delete this gene. Northern analysis shows that the hb gene gives rise to at least five overlapping transcripts ranging in length from 2.6 to 3.5 kilobases. S1 nuclease and primer extension experiments demonstrate that the gene employs two promoters and three polyadenylation sites. The two hb promoters have different temporal specificities. Transcripts arising from the upstream promoter are detected from 0-12 hours of embryogenesis as well as in adult female and male RNA preparations. Transcripts arising from the downstream promoter accumulate only from 0-6 hours of embryogenesis. During the syncytial blastoderm stage, transcripts from the hb gene accumulate over a broad anterior and a narrow posterior domain. This pattern sharpens during the late blastoderm/early gastrula stage to produce an embryo with two stripes of hybridization anterior and one stripe posterior. Later, hb transcripts are detected within the ventral hypoderm in extended germ band stage embryos.

    Notes: The mycelium of the fungus Phycomyces. essentially a giant multinucleate cell, produces two kinds of asexual reproductive structures, called macrophores and microphores, and a succession of structures for sexual reproduction. Following the treatment of spores with N-methyl-N′ -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, conditional imb mutants have been isolated that form no macrophores at 26°C, but do at 14°C. At the restrictive temperature, few imb mutants (2 of 13) develop microphores, and none is able to complete the sexual cycle. This suggests that genes responsible for macrophorogenesis are involved in microphorogenesis and in sexual development as well. Light reduces macrophorogenesis and totally abolishes microphorogenesis in the wild type under the conditions of our experiments. These photomorphogenetic effects require the normal function of genes madA and madB, which are responsible for phototropism. Light inhibits microphorogenesis in the two imb mutants that form microphores at the restrictive temperature. Genetic alterations of carotenogenesis lead to an excess of microphores and a scarcity of macrophores in the dark, but they have little influence on vegetative reproduction in the light.

    Notes: Using antibodies specific for the 3′, 5′-cyclic AMP (cAMP) cell surface receptor of Dictyostelium discoideum, we have screened γgtll expression libraries and isolated a series of cDNAs derived from cAMP receptor mRNA during early development. The identity of the cDNA clones was verified by multiple criteria: (1) β-galactosidase fusion proteins synthesized by isolated cDNA clones stain intensely with cAMP receptor directed antiserum, (2) these fusion proteins affinity purify antibodies specific for the cAMP receptor, (3) the cDNA probes hybridize to a 2 kb mRNA whose change in relative level of abundance during development parallels that of receptor mRNA as assayed by in vitro translation, (4) the 2 kb mRNA size equals that of receptor mRNA as determined by in vitro translation of size fractionated poly (A)+ RNA, and (5) RNA transcribed in vitro from cDNAs containing the entire protein-coding region produces a polypeptide by in vitro translation with an apparent molecular weight in close agreement with that of nascent cAMP receptor protein produced by in vitro translation of cellular RNA.The DNA sequence predicts an open reading frame of 392 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains seven domains enriched in hydrophobic residues. A model is proposed in which the cAMP cell-surface receptor traverses the lipid bilayer seven times in a pattern similar to that of other receptors, such as rhodopsin, which interact with G-proteins. The structural similarities suggest a gene family of related surface receptors from such evolutionarily diverse species as Dictyostelium, yeast, and mammals.

    Notes: The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK) from Dictyostelium discoideum is an enzyme composed of one catalytic and one regulatory subunit. Upon binding of cAMP, the holoenzyme dissociates to liberate free active catalytic subunits. The cAK is developmentally regulated, ranging from very little activity in vegetative cells to maximal expression in postaggregative cells. Although there is no immunological cross-reaction between the subunits of cAKs from Dictyostelium and from other organisms, they share several biochemical properties. A complete cDNA for the regulatory subunit has been cloned and sequenced. Only one copy of the gene for the regulatory subunit is present per haploid genome. On the basis of the comparison of the structure of the cAK from Dictyostelium with its counterparts in yeast and higher eukaryotes, we propose a model for the evolution of cyclic-nucleotide-binding proteins.

    Notes: Several lines of evidence indicate that cAMP modulates developmental gene activity via cell-surface receptors. We describe here a novel cAMP receptor, CABP1, whose properties are consistent with the idea that this protein is involved in gene regulation. Firstly, immunological techniques using anti-CABP1 antibodies as probes showed that this cAMP receptor can be detected on the surface of developing cells. Secondly, there is a steady migration of CABP1 to the nucleus during development. Thirdly, some genetic variants exhibiting an altered pattern of development are found to possess modified CABP1. We also showed that CABP1 co-purifies with at least seven other polypeptides which share common epitopes with CABP1. Interestingly, four of the CABP1-related polypeptides can be detected on the cell surface as well as in the nucleus.

    Notes: The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterase) of Dictyostelium discoideum plays an essential role in development by hydrolyzing the cAMP used as a chemoattractant by aggregating cells. We have studied the biochemistry of the phosphodiesterase and a functionally related protein, the phosphodiesterase inhibitor protein, and have cloned the cognate genes. A 1.8-kb and a 2.2-kb mRNA are transcribed from the singlephosphodiesterase gene. The 2.2-kb mRNA comprises the majority of the phosphodiesterase mRNA found in differentiating cells and is transcribed only during development from a promoter at least 2.5 kb upstream of the translational start site. The 1.8-kb phosphodiesterase mRNA is detected at all stages of growth and development, is present at lower levels than the developmentally induced mRNA, and is transcribed from a site proximal to the protein-coding region. The phosphodiesterase gene contains a minimum of three exons, and a 2.3-kb intron, the longest yet reported for this organism. We have shown that the pds A. gene and fourfgd genes affect, the accumulation of the phosphodiesterase mRNAs, and we believe that these loci represent a significant portion of the genes regulating expression of the phosphodiesterase. The phosphodiesterase gene was introduced into cells by transformation and used as a tool to explore the effects of cAMP on the terminal stages of development. In cells expressing high levels of phosphodiesterase activity, final morphogenesis cannot be completed, and differentiated spore and stalk cells do not form. We interpret these results to support the hypothesis that cAMP plays an essential role in organizing cell movements in late development as well as in controlling the aggregation of cells in the initial phase of the developmental program.

    Notes: We have identified a two-member gene family in the Dictyostelium genome and have isolated corresponding cDNA or genomic DNA recombinant clones. Analyses of these DNA sequences predicted encoded proteins of ∼200 amino acids with ∼90% sequence identity to each other. These Dictyostelium proteins also share amino acids identity within the GTP-binding domains in the family of G-regulatory proteins involved in cellular regulation and transmembrane signalling. Additional structural similarities are seen with members of the ras supergene family, such as ras, ral, and rho. They are similar in size (usually ∼200 amino acids), possess four conserved domains involved in GTP interaction and are believed to be anchored in the membrane by fatty acid modification of a cysteine residue near the carboxy terminus. More extensive identity is observed with YPT1 and SEC4, two other members of this family of genes that are essential in yeast. The amino-terminal half of both Dictyostelium proteins is 70% identical in amino acid sequence to the YPT1 and SEC4 yeast proteins with less identity continuing through the remainder of the proteins. In addition these proteins terminate in two cysteine residues that are thought to be required for membrane anchorage.The two genes within this Dictyostelium family are organized differently in the genome and are differentially regulated during development. One gene is colinear in sequence with its mRNA in the protein coding region, whereas the other gene encodes a spliced mRNA. The intron-containing gene is associated with a developmentally regulated (AAC)-repeat sequence. Finally, we have shown that the expression of one of the genes is induced during development with kinetics similar to that of other (AAC)n-associated genes; conversely, the expression of the second gene is repressed at a similar developmental stage.

    Notes: Similar to other stages in Dictyostelium development, spore germination is a particularly suitable model for studying the regulation of gene expression, because developmentally regulated changes in both protein and mRNA synthesis occur during the transition from dormant spore to amoeba. Spores are constitutively dormant and must be activated to germinate. Under the proper environmental conditions, spores germinate in a highly synchronous manner to give rise to individual amoebae that can then enter the vegetative growth phase. Protein synthesis is developmentally regulated during this process. Because protein synthesis is transcriptionally controlled during spore germination, the respective genes must be developmentally transcribed, and these can be isolated and analyzed. Three cDNA clones specific for mRNA developmentally regulated during spore germination have been characterized and used as probes to study mRNA accumulation and decay during spore germination. Because we are interested in defining the sequences of developmentally regulated genes that may relate to their regulation of transcription, we have sequenced the cDNAs and have isolated and sequenced their respective genomic clones. The sequences of the three gene families, their genomic organization, and their special structural features are described.

    Notes: We have analyzed the effects of the cAMP relay inhibitor, caffeine, and the receptor antagonist, adenosine, on the regulation of the cell-surface cAMP receptor in suspensionstarved Dictyostelium discoideum cells by measuring ammonium sulfate-stabilized binding of [3-H]cAMP to intact cells. When cells were starved in fast (230 r.p.m.) shaken suspension in 10 mM Na+/5 mM K+ phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, plus 1 mM CaCl2 and 2.5 mM MgCl2, and assayed for specific cAMP binding, receptor accumulation peaked at approximately 6 hours, reaching a maximum of 1.5 pmol cAMP bound/107 cells (saturation binding). Neither caffeine nor adenosine inhibited the accumulation of cAMP receptors. Similar results were obtained in caffeine-treated, slow shaken (90 r.p.m.) suspension cultures. These results suggest that starvation alone is sufficient stimulus to induce the cAMP receptor. We have also tested the effects of different buffer ionic compositions on the accumulation of cAMP receptors. Elevation of the monovalent ion concentration to 30-40 mM was found to significantly inhibit the induction of cAMP receptors.

Contact between Enterobacter aerogenes and aggregation-competent Dictyostelium amoebae and contact between Dictyostelium amoebae themselves results in the transient secretion of cAMP and an alteration in the amount of cAMP secreted in response to subsequent stimulation by cAMP, i.e., an alteration in magnitude of a cAMP relay response. The subsequent cAMP relay response can be enhanced or diminished depending upon the number of contacts formed and the concentration of cAMP present at the time of contact. Latex beads are capable of evoking cAMP secretion. However, the bead/amoebal contact is unable to alter the magnitude of a subsequent response to cAMP. This suggests that a nonspecific interaction via cell-cell contactelicits transient cAMP secretion in aggregation-competent Dictyostelium amoebae.The two responses to cell-cell contact are distinct from each other and distinct from the cAMP relay response. (1) The dose-response curves for the responses to Enterobacter contact are clearly different. (2) Contact with latex beads can elicit cAMP secretion but not alter the magnitude of a subsequent cAMP relay response. (3) The temperature dependences of the contact-induced responses and the cAMP relay response show that only the contact-induced cAMP secretion is inhibited at 12 and 15°C, while only the cAMP relay response is inhibited at 28°C.A 4-second application of cAMP at the time that contact is initiated enhances both contact-induced responses. Whether the relationship between these two developmental regulators is important for the regulation of Dictyostelium development has yet to be established.

    Notes: Several genes that are deactivated upon the initiation of development of Dictyostelium discoideum have been identified by differential screening of various cDNA libraries. These genes have in common a decrease in the steady-state levels of their corresponding mRNAs as development proceeds. When development was carried out in the absence of protein synthesis by inhibition with cycloheximide, the decrease in mRNA levels for most genes (V genes) was normal or slightly accelerated. However, for about 5% of the genes (H genes), cycloheximide caused an apparent induction of expression, as revealed by a slight or dramatic increase in mRNA levels instead of the normal decrease. This effect was due to inhibition of protein synthesis and not to cycloheximide per se. The induction was found to be due to an enhancement of the trascription rate; normal rates of transcription for the H genes were dependent upon continued protein synthesis during vegetative growth and during development. Thus, two general regulatory classes exist for deactivation of gene expression upon initiation of development, one dependent and one independent of protein synthesis. Models concerning the control of expression of these two classes of genes are discussed here. Analysis of expression of these genes in mutant strains that are aggregation-deficient has also been performed, and the results lead to subdivisions of the classes.

    Notes: We have previously shown that growing cells of Dictyostelium discoideum (strains NC4 and AX3) produce a soluble substance that accumulates in the medium in proportion to cell density; this substance regulates the production of certain proteins previously thought to be induced by starvation [Clarke et al., 1987]. We suggest the name PSF (prestarvation factor) for this substance. During growth, Dictyostelium cells monitor the relative concentrations of PSF and food bacteria. When PSF reaches a sufficiently high level relative to the concentration of bacteria, synthesis of PSF-regulated proteins is induced. We propose the name prestarvation response for this induction, which takes place in exponentially growing cells several generations before the food bacteria are depleted. We have explored the mechanism by which the food bacteria inhibit the response of Dictyostelium cells to PSF. We find that the bacteria do not inactivate PSF or inhibit its production; instead, they affect the ability of NC4 cells to detect PSF, possibly by binding to the same cell surface receptor. In the absence of bacteria, as during axenic growth of AX3 cells, the prestarvation response occurs at much lower cell densities, probably accounting for the presence of certain developmentally regulated mRNAs and proteins in axenic cultures.

    Notes: Elevated levels of cAMP are essential for the expression of many postaggregation prespore and prestalk mRNA species and for the suppression of some growth phase mRNAs. Here we review evidence that this regulation is mediated by cAMP interacting at the cell surface receptor. These effects of cAMP on gene expression can occur under conditions where the receptor-associated adenylate cyclase is inactivated and in concentrations that are consistent with receptor binding. A number of differences are noted in the mechanism by which cAMP regulates prespore and prestalk genes. Finally, evidence is reviewed for the role of a Ca2+-dependent signal transduction system in coupling the expression of some of the prespore mRNAs to the cAMP receptor. This signal transduction system does not appear to be involved in the expression of the cAMP-dependent prestalk gene.

    Notes: We have examined the expression of a cAMP pulse-repressed and two cAMP pulse-induced genes in response to cAMP and caffeine under a number of different physiological conditions, and in several classes of developmental mutants altered in cAMP-mediated signal transduction pathways. The data presented help characterize the mutants with regard to early gene expression. Analysis of the data indicates that full induction of the pulse-induced or repression of the pulse-repressed genes requires cycles of activation and adaptation of the cAMP receptor but does not require a rise in intracellular cAMP. Comparison of the results obtained between different mutant classes suggests that repression and activation of the two classes of genes can be uncoupled, implying that different intracellular mechanisms control these processes. In addition, we examined the effects of caffeine and show that it can induce pulse-induced mRNA accumulation in the absence of cAMP.

    Regulation of gene expression by the intracellular second messengers IP3 and diacylglycerol (1988)

    Notes: In Dictyostelium, extracellular cAMP interacts specifically with cell-surface receptors to promote the accumulation of a variety of intracellular second messengers, such as, 3′-5′ cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 1,4,5 inositol trisphosphate (IP3). We and others have shown that activation of the cell-surface cAMP receptor can also modulate the expression of the Dictyostelium genome during development. In at least one instance, synthesis of intracellular cAMP is required for appropriate gene regulation. However, the induction of most cAMP-dependent gene expression can occur in the absence of receptor-mediated activation of adenylate cyclase and a consequent accumulation of intracellular cAMP. These results suggest that other intracellular second messengers produced in response to receptor activation may potentially act as signal transducers to modulate gene expression during development. In vertebrate cells, IP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG) are intracellular activators of specific protein kinases; they are produced in equimolar amounts by cleavage of phosphoinositol bisphosphate after a receptor-mediated activation of a membrane-bound phosphodiesterase. IP3 and, thus, by inference, diacylglycerol are synthesized in Dictyostelium as a response to cAMP interacting with its cell-surface receptor. Using defined conditions to inhibit the accumulation of extracellular cAMP, we have examined the effects of these compounds on the accumulation of extracellular cAMP, we have examined the effects of these compounds on the expression of genes that require cAMP for their maximal expression. Our results suggest that intracellular IP3 and DAG may in part mediate the action of extracellular cAMP on the expression of the Dictyostelium genome.

    Notes: The nucleotide sequence of D19, a Dictyostelium gene that encodes a prespore-specific mRNA sequence shows it to encode PsA, the cell surface protein detected by the MUD 1 monoclonal antibody. The predicted sequence of the protein reveals a largely hydrophobic C terminus, with chemical similarity to proteins known to be attached to the plasma membrane via a phosphatidylinositol link. The C-terminal region has direct sequence homology to the contact sites A protein and to the phosphatidylinositol-linked form of a chicken N-CAM, suggesting that it might play a role in cell adhesion. Expression of the D19 gene is known to be induced by cAMP and repressed by adenosine. The accumulation of the D19 mRNA is also repressed by DIF, the putative stalk-specific morphogen, and this effect is mediated at the transcriptional level. The pDd56 and pDd63 genes are induced by DIF, and they are specific markers of prestalk and stalk cells. They encode, respectively, ST310 and ST430, two proteins that were first identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Both proteins are predominantly composed of a highly conserved, 24-amino acid repeat. The two proteins are localized in the slime sheath of the migratory slug and in the stalk tube and stalk cell wall of the mature culminant, where they presumably function as structural components of the extracellular matrix. We have constructed marked derivatives of the pDd56, pDd63, and D19 genes, and these are correctly regulated after transformation into Dictyostelium cells. Thus we have determined the structure, and elucidated possible functions, for one prespore and two prestalk genes. These sequences should be of value, both as markers of the earliest events in cellular differentiation and in identifying the regulatory sequences controlling cell type-specific gene expression.

    Notes: cAMP regulates gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum through the cell surface receptor and is therefore a transmembrane signal transduction event. We have now begun to examine the signal transduction pathway that transmits the cAMP-induced signal to the nucleus. The results presented here indicate that Ca2+ plays a crucial role. A comparison of the accumulation of UDPGP1 mRNA during development with the corresponding transcription rates revealed that this gene is regulated primarily at the level of transcription. To elucidate the factors involved in the regulation of the UDPGP1 gene we characterized its cis acting sequences. We constructed a series of deletions into the 5′ flanking region of the UDPGP1 gene and analyzed the expression of the mutated DNA in transformants. A sequence element essential for the expression of the UDPGP1 gene is located between -500 bp and -288 dp from the transcription start site. This promoter element appears to be a short G + C-rich sequence positioned between -374 to -395 and coincides with a DNase I hypersensitive site.

    Notes: This paper reviews our studies of three aspects of post-transcriptional regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum: (1) the determinants of mRNA stability in vegetative amoebae; (2) the effects of disaggregation and cyclic AMP on the decay rates of cell-type-specific mRNAs in late developing cells; and (3) the cytoplasmic function of the 3′ poly(A) tracts present on most mRNAs. We find that: (1) mRNA stability in vegetative amoebae is not dependent on mRNA size, ribosome loading, or poly(A) tract length, but may be determined by specific 3′-untranslated sequences within a given mRNA; (2) mRNA decay rates in late developing cells are heterogeneous, and cyclic AMP does not act directly to stabilize cell-type-specific mRNAs; and (3) poly(A) is most likely involved in the initiation of protein synthesis via an interaction with cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding proteins.

    Notes: We have isolated recombinant plasmids that contain cDNA inserts complementary to mRNAs encoding six different r-proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum. Southern and quantitative dot blot analyses have shown that each of the r-protein genes represented in these plasmids is encoded by a single copy gene and that these genes are not tightly linked to each other. We have determined the relative amount of the six r-protein mRNAs present in cells at intervals throughout development and find that for the first 9 hours of development, each of the mRNAs remains present at virtually the same level as in vegetatively growing cells. Between 9 and 11 hours of development, there is a rapid loss of these mRNAs to 15% or less of vegetative levels, and that low level remains, or slightly declines, through the late stages of development. We have shown that two post-transcriptional events contribute to the developmental regulation of the expression of the r-protein genes. The first involves a specific block to translational initiation that is not the result of inactivation of these mRNAs by decapping or deadenylation. The second is a change in the stability of these mRNAs during early development. In order to begin to analyze the role of specific sequences that may act as targets or signals in these events, we have cloned and sequenced a 1.9-kb genomic DNA fragment that encodes one of the r-proteins. We find that transcription of this gene begins in a pyrimidine-rich region that is not preceded by a TATA box, the gene contains a single intron of 350 bp, and there are two alternative 3′ processing sites. In addition, the 5′-untranslated region of the transcript contains an unusually high percentage of G and C residues relative to other Dictyostelium mRNAs.
