    Notes: Interactions of cell surface components with one another and with structures inside and outside the cell may have important physiological functions in the transmission of signals and the assembly of specialized structures. These interactions may be detected and analyzed through their effects on the lateral mobility of cell surface molecules. Measurements by a fluorescence photobleaching method have shown that in general lipid-like molecules diffuse rapidly and freely through the plasma membrane, whereas proteins move much more slowly or appear to be immobile. This dichotomy has been supposed to result from forces beyond the viscosity of the lipid bilayer, which specifically retard the diffusion of membrane proteins. This general picture should be qualified, however, by noting that the lateral mobility of lipid-like molecules can be influenced in detail by changes in the state of the plasma membrane such as result from mitosis or fertilization. The interactions of cell surface proteins that limit their lateral mobility are unknown. The effects of binding concanavalin A to localized regions of cell surface show that these interactions can vary in subtle and complex ways. It may soon be useful to interpret mobility experiments in terms of simple reaction models that attempt to describe surface interactions in physicochemical terms. More experimental data are needed to carry out this program and to relate interactions that affect mobility to the structural connections between cell surface components and the cytoskeleton, which have been detected by biochemical methods and electron and immunofluorescence microscopy.

    Notes: Both serum factors and protein synthesis are required for normal cell growth. Swiss 3T3 cells require the serum growth factors insulin and EGF (epidermal growth factor) during the initial part of the G1 period, until they pass a restriction point about 2 h before the initiation of DNA synthesis. Concentration of cycloheximide that inhibit protein synthesis by as much as 70% dramatically lengthen the cell cycle before the restriction point, while the cell cycle after the restriction point remains nearly constant. These results are consistent with a model in which labile proteins are required for transit of cells past the serum-sensitive restriction point. The relation of these findings to the growth control of transformed cells is discussed.

    Alteration of insulin binding and cytoskeletal organization in cultured fibroblasts by tertiary amine local anesthetics (1979)

    Notes: Tertiary amine local anesthetics cause a time- and dose-dependent, reversible increase in insulin binding sites in cultured chick embryo fibroblasts. Incubation of fibroblasts with 0.2 mM dibucaine for 3 h at 37°C results in a twofold to threefold increase in insulin binding, with an increase in average number of binding sites (Ka = 3.0 × 107M-1) from 9 × 103 to 29 × 103 per cell. Trypsin or ethylenegly coltetraacetic acid (EGTA) alone increases insulin binding twofold to threefold, but fails to further increase 125I-insulin binding in cells pretreated with dibucaine. Transformation of chick embryo fibroblasts with Rous sarcoma virus causes a threefold to fivefold increase in insulin binding, which is not further increased by incubation with dibucaine. As demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy, dibucaine and trypsin also induce changes in the cytoskeleton of chick embryo fibroblasts, characterized by disorganization and disappearance of microfilament and microtubule bundles. These alterations are accompanied by gross morphologic changes, including rounding of cells and appearance of numerous ruffles and blebs on the cell surface. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that expression of surface receptors in cultured chick embryo fibroblasts is related to the organization and disorganization of cytoskeletal structures.

    Effect of thiourea and substituted thioureas on dynein ATPase and on the turbidity response of tetrahymena cilia (1979)

    Notes: The effects of thioura and of several substituted thioureas-phenylthiourea, α-naphtylthiourea, metiamide, and burimamide-on dynein ATPase have been studied. The substituted thioureas are over 30 times more potent than thiourea in causing enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase activity and inhibition of 14S dynein ATPase activity. The effects of thiourea and phenylthiourea can be prevented by very low concentrations of β-mercaptoethanol or dithiotheritol. Axonemal ATPase is also enhanced by the thioureas, but the reaction proceeds more slowly than for solubilized 30S dynein. Enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase by metiamide is prevented by low (∼ 1 μM) concentrations of ATP and, less effectively, by AMP-PNP, but not by AMP-PCP even though the latter is a stronger inhibitor of 30S dynein ATPase than is AMP-PNP.The thioureas inhibit the ATP-induced decrease in turbidity (measured as ΔA350) of axonemal suspensions. Inhibition of the turbidity response is also prevented by low concentrations of β-mercaptoethanol, but, in contrast to the irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity, inhibition of the turbidity response is largely reversible. The ability of 30S dynein to rebind onto twice extracted axonemes is not changed by treatment with phenylthiourea or metiamide.These observations indicate that the thioureas react with at least two sets of SH or S-S groups on axonemes. Reaction with the group(s) on the 30S dynein causes an apparently irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity. Reaction with another group(s) causes a reversible inhibition of the turbidity response.

    Ehrlich ascites tumor cell surface labeling and kinetics of glycocalyx release (1979)

    Notes: Ehrlich ascites tumor cells spontaneously release cell surface material (glycocalyx) into isotonic saline medium. Exposure of these cells to tritium-labeled 4,4′-diisothiocyano-1,2′-dihenylethane-2,2′-disulfonic acid (3H2DIDS) at 4°C leads to preferential labeling of the cell surface coat. We have combined studies of the kinetics of 3H2DIDS-label release, the effects of enzymatic treatment, and cell electrophoretic mobility to characterize the 3H2DIDS-labeled components of the cell surface. Approximately 73% of the cell-associated radioactivity is spontaneously released from the cells after 5 h at 23°C. The kinetics of release is consistent with the first-order loss of two fractions; a slow (τ½ = 360 min) component representing 33% of the radioactivity, and a fast (τ½ = 20 min) component representing 26%. The remaining 14% of the labile binding may reflect mechanically induced surface release. Trypsin (1 μ/ml) also removes approximately 73% of the labeled material within 30 min and converts the kinectics of release to that of a single component (τ½ = 5.5 min). The specific activity (SA) of material released by trypsin immediately after labeling is 83% of the SA of the material spontaneously los in 1 h. However, trypsinization following a 2-h period of spontaneous release yields material of reduced (43%) SA. Neither 3H2DIDS labeling nor the initial spontaneous loss of labeled material alters cell electrophoretic mobility. However, extended spontaneous release is accompanied by a significant decrease in surface charge density. Trypsinization immediately following labeling or after spontaneous release (2 h) reduces mobility by 32%. We have tentatively identified the slowly released compartment as contributing to cell surface negativity.

    Polyoma T (tumor) antigen species in abortively and stably transformed cells (1979)

    Notes: Stable neoplastic transformation of cells by polyoma virus requires the participation of two viral genes, designated ts-a and hr-t. The effects of mutations in these two genes on the patterns of T-antigen synthesis during productive infection have been previously described: ts- a mutants are affected in the “large” (100K) nuclear T antigen, and hr-t mutants are affected in the “middle” (36K, 56K, 63K) and “small” (22K) T agtigens. The latter are associated predominantly with the plasma membrane (56K) and cytosol fractions, rrespectively.Here we examine the expression of the various forms of polyoma T antigen in nonproductive infection (abortive transformation) as well as in stably transformed cell lines of different species. The results on abortive transformation are essentially the same as those described above for productive infection. In stably transformed cells, the middle and small T antigens are seen to various extents. The large T antigen, however, is often absent or present below the level of detection. Clones lacking the large T antigen are found most often among mouse transformants, but are also seen among rat transformants. Retention of the 100K species in transformed cells therefore appears to be, at least in part, an inverse function of the level of permissivity of the host toward productive viral infection. These findings indicate that the induction of the transformed phenotype in both abortively and stably transformed cells generally does not require the large T antigen, but rather the products of the hr-t gene.

    7-Acetylcytochalasin B: Differential effects on sugar transport and cell motility (1979)

    Notes: Cytochalasin B (CB) is a potent inhibitor of sugar transport and cell motility in animal cells. We have synthesized and characterized the CB derivative 7-acetylcytochalasin B (CBAc) and have found that it has differential effects on transport and motile processes in fibroblasts. The derivative inhibited sugar transport in human red cells, 3T3 cells, and chicken embryo fibroblasts at micromolar concentrations, although it was less potent than its parent compound. Unlike CB, which causes fibroblasts to round up and arborize at less than 10 μM, CBAc had no effect on fibroblast morphology and membrane ruffling at concentrations as high as 90 μM. Competitive binding experiments using [3H] CB showed that the affinity of CBAc for sites related to sugar transport in the red cell membrane is about one-fourth of that of CB. In contrast, similar experiments using [3H] dihydrocytochalasin B (a derivative which inhibits cell motility but not sugar transport) showed that the affinity of CBAc for sites associated with red cell spectrin and actin is only about 1/20 of that dihydrocytochalasin B. This study demonstrates that acetylation of the C-7 hydroxyl group of CB reduces its effect on cell morphology and motility much more than its ability to inhibit sugar transport. This observation, together with our earlier work with dihydrocytochalasin B, establishes that the pharmacologic effects of CB on fibroblasts result from the binding of the drug to two distinct classes of receptors and that these receptors interact with different parts of the cytochalasin molecule.

    Notes: The conformations of the major coat protein of a filamentous bacteriophage can be described by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the protein and the virus. The NMR experiments involve detection of the 13C and 1H nuclei of the coat protein. Both the 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra show that regions of the polypeptide chain have substantially more motion than a typical globular protein. The fd coat protein was purified by gel chromatography of the SDS solubilized virus. Natural abundance 13C NMR spectra at 38 MHz resolve all of the nonprotonated aromatic carbons from the three phenylalanines, two tyrosines, and one tryptophan of the coat protein. The α carbons of the coat protein show at least two different classes of relaxation behavior, indicative of substantial variation in the motion of the backbone carbons in contrast to the rigidity of the α carbons of globular proteins. The 1H spectrum at 360 MHz shows all of the aromatic carbons and many of the amide protons. Titration of a 1H spectra gives the pKas for the tyrosines.

    Notes: Human epithelial cell cultures were examined for expression of plasminogen activator and fibronectin matrix. All of the cells examined showed ultrastructural evidence suggesting their epithelial origin, including microvilli and specialized junctions. The nonmalignant cells were also negative for endothelial cell markers (ie, they lacked factor VIII antigen, a nonthrombogenic surface and Weibel-Palade bodies). The nonmalignant lines all produced large amounts of plasminogen activator, whereas the tumor-derived lines showed a gradation of activities, ranging from lines having as much activity as the nonmalignant lines to lines having little or no activity above background. For both normal and malignant cells, addition of dexamethesone only slightly decreased the levels of plasminogen activator. By immunofluorescence microscopy, normal bladder and fetal intestine epithelial cells showed fibronectin in a globular and fibrillar matrix. In contrast, normal mammary epithelial cells had a much diminished amount of fibronectin with a punctate distribution.

    Notes: The objective of this study was the preliminary characterization of the factors from mitotic HeLa cells that can induce meiotic maturation in Xenopus laevis oocytes. We found that this factor is a heat-labile, Ca2+-sensitive, nondialyzable protein with a sedimentation value of 4-5S. Furthermore, no new protein synthesis was found to be required for this mitotic factor to induce maturation in the amphibian oocytes. These data suggest that the factors involved in the breakdown of nuclear membrane and the condensation of chromosomes that are associated with three different phenomena, mitosis, meiosis, and premature chromosome condensation, are very similar in different animal species.

    Notes: We have developed procedures for sensitive measurement of specific radioactivities of pyrimidine nucleosides excreted from cells in culture. The changes in the observed values reflect dilution of the added isotope through de novo biosynthesis of nonradioactive pyrimidine nucleosides or by shifting and equilibration of other nucleotide pools into the free uridine pool. It is thus possible to monitor uridine biosynthesis occurring in intact cells without destroying or disrupting the cell population. On comparing a series of normal and transformed lines, we have observed several growth-dependent patterns of change in specific activity and levels of uridine excretion and the temporal appearance of these changes.Hamster embyro fibroblasts slows pyrimidine biosynthesis at mid-growth while the hamster cell line V79 continues to dilute the pyrimidine pool at about 7% of the rate observed during exponential growth at confluence. Both cells exhibit Urd excretion beginning at one-half maximal growth.Passageable normal rat liver cells (IARC-20) also show a cessation of pyrimidine biosynthesis with a prior increase in uridine excretion. Two chemically transformed lines IARC-28 and IARC-19 derived from IARC-20 show different patterns. IARC-19 begins uridine excretion in early log growth and the specific activity continues to decrease at about 2% of the rate observed during exponential growth at confluence. The IARC-28 cells also begin excretion in early log growth but pyrimidine biosynthesis stops at about midlog. This method may prove to be an additional aid in recognizing and differentiating transformed cells in culture that do not exhibit the transformed phenotype.

    Notes: A variant of B-16 F1 mouse melanoma was selected for its ability to survive and replicate in the presence of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). Although the variant (MR-4) was completely resistant to growth inhibition by MSH, cyclic AMP was still able to block cell replication. Tyrosinase activity in MR-4 cells was considerably lower than in B-16 F1 cells. MSH induced a twofold to three-fold increase in tyrosinase activity in both cell types, but the absolute activity in MR-4 remained significantly less than in the parental cells. MR-4 cells were also found to have a markedly depressed cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity relative to B-16 F1 cells. The protein kinase from both cell types was stimulated by cyclic AMP, but the level of MR-4 kinase activity at maximal cyclic AMP concentrations remained considerably lower than B-16 F1 kinase activity under the same conditions. In both cell types adenylate cyclase activity was markedly stimulated by MSH. When equal numbers of viable F1 and MR-4 cells were injected subcutaneously into C57/B1 mice, the MR-4 cells formed tumors earlier and killed the host sooner than the parental F1 cells. We conclude that the biochemical alteration which allows MR-4 cells to replicate in the presence of MSH is a low level of tyrosinase activity, which in turn may be the result of low cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity.

    Notes: In a basic approach to investigations of neuronal-glial interactions during both normal brain development and its pathogenesis, embryonic brain cell populations were fractionated into purified neuronal and glial components. Using separation procedures based on differential adhesion and cytotoxicity, the isolated neuronal and glial phenotypes could be identified by distinct morphological and biochemical characteristics, including the visualization of glial fibrillary acid protein (GFA) within glial cells in immunohistochemical assays with monospecific anti-GFA serum.When unfractionated cerebrum cells dissociated from 10-day chick or 14-day mouse embryos were plated as monolayers and cultured for 1-14 days, monospecific antiserum against fibronectin (LETS glycoprotein) was found to react with many, but not all, of the cells as revealed by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The isolated neuronal and glial components of these populations were used to determine whether the appearance of membrane-associated fibronectin was characteristic of one cell type or the other, or both, and if neuronal-glial cell interaction was required for its expression. It was found that the surfaces of glial cells, completely isolated from neurons, showed an intense fluorescent reaction to the anti-fibronectin serum. In contrast, the purified neuronal cultures showed no fluorescence with either the anti-GFA or anti-fibronectin sera. These results demonstrate fibronectin as a cell surface protein associated primarily with glial cells and independent of neuronal-glial cell interaction for its expression. Furthermore, the results indicate that the fibronectin observed on glial cell surfaces in these cultures is produced endogenously and is not due to the preferential binding of fibronectin present in the culture medium. The role of fibronectin as an adhesive molecule in neuronal-glial interactions is discussed.

    Notes: The cytochalasins (CE, CD, CB and H2CB) inhibit numerous cellular processes which require the interaction of actin with other structural and contractile proteins. In this report we describe the effects of the cytochalasins on the viscosity and morphology of muscle and platelet actin. The cytochalasins decreased the viscosity of F-actin solutions. The effect of H2CB, CB and CD on F-actin viscosity was maximal at concentrations of 20-50μM and did not increase with time. In contrast, CE caused a progressive decrease in the viscosity of F-actin solutions which was dependent upon the concentration of CE and the duration of incubation of the CE-actin mixture. After two hours of incubation of drug-actin mixtures, the relative effectiveness of the cytochalasins in reducing the viscosity of F-actin was CE 〉 CD 〉 CB = H2CB. The effects of CD and CE were paralleled by morphologic changes in negatively stained actin filaments. The effects of the cytochalasins on the viscosity and morphology of muscle and platelet actin were the same whether the drugs were added before or after the polymerization of the protein.These studies show that the interaction of the cytochalasins with actin is highly specific. Because the relative potencies of these drugs for affecting motile processes and the relative affinities of the drugs for binding sites within a variety of cells are CE 〉 CD 〉 CB = H2CB, the effects of cytochalasins on actin described here may contribute to some of the biological effects of the drugs on motile processes.

    Notes: When normal or SV40-transformed Balb/c 3T3 cells are treated with the Ca++-specific chelator EGTA, they round up and pull away from their footpad adhesion sites to the serum-coated tissue culture substrate, as shown by scanning electron microscope studies. Elastic membranous retraction fibers break upon culture agitation, leaving adhesion sites as substrate-attached material (SAM) (Cells leave “footprints” of substrate adhesion sites during movement by a very similar process.) SAM contains 1-2% of the cell's total protein and phospholipid content and 5-10% of its glucosamine-radiolabeled polysaccharide, most of which is glycosaminoglycan (GAG). By one- and two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, there is considerable enrichment in SAM for specific GAGs; for the glycoprotein fibronectin; and for the cytoskeletal proteins actin, myosin, and the subunit protein of the 10 nm-diameter filaments. Fibrillar fibronectin of cellular origin and substratum bound fibronectin of serum origin (cold-insoluble globulin, CIg) have been visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. The GAG composition in SAM has been examined under different cellular growth and attachment conditions. Heparan sulfate content correlates with glycopeptide content (derived from glycoprotein). Newly attaching cells deposit SAM with principally heparan sulfate and fibronectin and little of the other GAGs. Hyaluronate and chrondroitin proteoglycans are coordinately deposited in SAM as cells begin spreading and movement over the substrate. Cells attaching to serum-coated or CIg coated substrates deposited SAM with identical compositions. The proteoglycan nature of the GAGs in SAM has been examined as well as the ability of proteoglycans to form two classes of reversibly dissociable “supramolecular complexes” - one class with heparan sulfate and glycopeptide-containing material and the second with hyaluronate-chondroitin complexes. Enzymatic digestion of “intact” SAM with trypsin or testicular hyaluronidase indicates that (1) only a small portion of long-term radiolabeled fibronectin and cytoskeletal protein is bound to the substrate via hyaluronate or chondroitin classes of GAG; (2) most of the fibronectin, cytoskeletal protein and heparan sulfate coordinately resist solubilization; and (3) newly synthesized fibronectin, which is metabolically labile in SAM, is linked to SAM by hyaluronate- and/or chondroitin-dependent binding. All of our studies indicate that heparan sulfate is a direct mediator of adhesion of cells to the substrate, possibly by binding to both cell-surface fibronectin and substrate-bound CIg in the serum coating; hyaluronate-chondroitin complexes in SAM appear to be most important in motility of cells by binding and labilizing fibronectin at the periphery of footpad adhesions, with subsequent cytoskeletal disorganization.

    Notes: The alkaline phosphatases present on isolated brush border and basal lateral membranes of rat duodenal epitheilum were examined by means of a variety of biochemical assays and physical methods. The two alkaline phosphatases have similar pH optima of 9.6-9.8, similar substrate km's for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) of 71 micromolar, similar responses to the inhibitors 2-mercaptoethanol, theophylline, phenylalanine, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), similar sensitivities to calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, and potassium, and similar insensitivities to digestion with trypsin or papain. The two enzymes also exhibit similar molecular weights on SDS-polyacrylamide gels in the range 124,000-150,000, and both enzymes show an Rf value of 0.092 on Triton X-100 polyacrylamide gels, indicating similar intrinsic charges. The Vmax of the brush border enzyme is ten times greater than that of the basal lateral enzyme, 140 μmoles/mg-h as opposed to 14 μmoles/mg-h. The differences in Vmax are a reflection of the known distribution of alkaline phosphatase in rat duodenum, there being more alkaline phosphatase activity present on the brush border than on the basal lateral surface. One other major difference was observed between the two enzymes, the stimulation of the basal lateral and not the brush border alkaline phosphatase by SDS, Triton X-100, or cholate. We conclude that the enzymes are very similar to one another and probably perform similar membrane functions.

    Notes: Murine melanoma line B16-F1, which shows some specificity for metastatic organ colonization of lung but rarely metastasizes to ovary, was used to select variant cell lines with increased preference for experimental ovary metastasis. Ovary-colonizing melanoma cell lines were sequentially selected in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice by repeated intravenous administration and surgical recovery of ovarian melanoma tumors for tissue culture. After ten selections for experimental ovary metastasis, line B16-010 was established which formed experimental metastatic ovary tumors in almost every test animal. In tissue culture B16-010 cells grew in circular in circular colonies with rounded, smooth cell peripheries compared to B16-F1 cells which were flatter, grew in irregular patterns, and exhibited long cellular projections. Ovary-selected B16 lines contained less melainin pigment (B16-010 〈 B16-05 〈 B16-01 ≅ B16-F1) compared to the parental melanoma line. Together with previous cloning and selection data, these results are consistent with the preexistence of highly malignant cells in the parental tumor population that possess the ability to metastasize to specific organs.

    Solubilization and conversion of hepatic adenylate cyclase to a form requiring MnATP as substrate (1979)

    Notes: A general feature of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase systems is the “lability” of the basal enzyme to dispersion by detergents. A stable form of the detergentsolubilized enzyme is obtained only if the membrane-bound enzyme is first pretreated with fluoride or Gpp(NH)p. However, we have found with the basal hepatic enzyme that the lability is evident primarily when MgATP is used as substrate; substitution of MnATP for MgATP reveals that substantial basal activity survives detergent treatment. This effect is independent of the detergent; it is seen with either Lubrol PX or with deoxycholate. In addition to the altered substrate requirement, the membrane-bound and solubilized forms of the basal enzyme exhibit other differences. In contrast to the membrane-bound form, the solubilized enzyme shows (1) weak stimulation by Gpp(NH)p; (2) little inhibition by adenosine, (3) strong inhibition by Pi or PPi, and (4) and apparent loss of the Me2+-reactive regulatory site. Such dissimilarities between membranebound and solubilized cyclase are not seen if the membranes are pretreated with Gpp(NH)p prior to exposure to detergents. The characteristics of the solubilized basal hepatic enzyme are similar to those of the naturally occurring soluble adenylate cyclase found in mature rat testes. It would appear that separation of adenylate cyclase from components that confer regulation by divalent cation and guanine nucleotides produces a form of the enzyme that will turnover only MnATP; this may represent the free catalytic moiety. Such preparations could be useful in reconstructing some of the regulatory functions of adenylate cyclase seen in its membrane-bound form.

    Notes: Freeze-fracture and thin-section methods were used to study tight junction formation between confluent H4-II-E hepatoma cells that were plated in monolayer culture in media with and without dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid. Three presumptive stages in the genesis of tight junctions were suggested by these studies: (1) “formation zones” (smooth P-fracture face ridges deficient in intramembranous particles), apparently matched across a partially reduced extracellular space, develop between adjacent cells; (2) linear strands and aggregates of 9-11 nm particles collect along the ridges of the formation zones. The extracellular space was always reduced when these structures were found matched with pits in gentle E-face depressions; (3) the linear arrays of particles on the ridges associate within the membranes to form the fibrils characteristic of mature tight junctions. The formation zones resemble tight junctions in terms of size, complexity and the patterns of membrane ridges. Although some of the beaded particle specialization may actually be gap junctions, it is unlikely that all can be interpreted in this way. No other membrane structures were detected that could represent developmental stages of tight junctions. Dexamethasone (at 2 × 10-6 M) apparently stimulated formation of tight junctions. Treated cultures had a greater number of formation zones and mature tight junctions, although no differences in qualitative features of the junctions were noted.

    Notes: Concanavalin A (Con A), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) bound with either 125I, fluorescent dyes, or fluorescent polymeric microspheres were used to quantitate and visualize the distribution of lectin binding sites on mouse neuroblastoma cells. As viewed by fluorescent light and scanning electron microscopy, over 107 binding sites for Con A, WGA, and RCA appeared to be distributed randomly over the surface of differentiated and undifferentiated cells. An energy-dependent redistribution of labeled sites into a central spot occurred when the cells were labeled with a saturating dose of fluorescent lectin and maintained at 37°C for 60 min. Reversible labeling using appropriate saccharide inhibitors indicated that the labeled sites had undergone endocytosis by the cell. A difference in the mode of redistribution of WGA or RCA and Con A binding sites was observed in double labeling experiments. When less than 10% of the WGA or RCA lectin binding sites were labeled, only these labeled sites appeared to be removed from the cell surface. In contrast, when less than 10% of the Con A sites were labeled, both labeled and unlabeled Con A binding sites were removed from the cell surface. Cytochalasin B uncoupled the coordinate redistribution of labeled and unlabeled Con A sites, suggesting the involvement of microfilaments. Finally, double labeling experiments employing fluorescein-tagged Con A and rhodamine-tagged WGA indicate that most Con A and WGA binding sites reside on different membrane components and redistribute independenty of each other.

    Notes: DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the 20,000g supernatant fraction of homogenates of C-1300 murine neuroblastoma (clone N2a) yields one major and two minor peaks of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Assessment of the endogenous activation state of the enzyme(s) reveals that the enzyme is fully activated by the treatment of whole cells with adenosine (10 μM) in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor Ro 20 1724 (0.7 mM). This treatment produces a large elevation in the cyclic AMP content of the cells. The treatment of whole cells with adenosine alone (1-100 μM) or Ro 20 1724 alone (0.1-0.7 mM) produces minimal elevations in cyclic AMP but nevertheless causes significant activations of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The autophosphorylation of whole homogenates of treated and untreated cells was studied using [γ-32P] ATP, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Treatments which activate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase selectively stimulate the incorporation of 32P into several proteins. This stimulation is most prominent in the 15,000-dalton protein band. The addition of cyclic AMP to phosphorylation reactions containing homogenate of untreated cells stimulates the phosphorylation of the same protein bands. These results indicate that adenosine may have regulatory functions through its effect on the cyclic AMP: cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase system.

    Relationship between steps in 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence and changes in the energized membrane state and in intracellular and extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) levels following bacteriophage T5 infection of Escherichia coli (1979)

    Notes: The addition of bacteriophage T5 to anaerobic, fermenting cells of Escherichia coli B or K-12 in the presence of 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS), N-phenylnaphthyl-1-amine (NPN), or dansyl ethylamine causes the fluorescence of these probes to rise in two steps, the first occurring immediately upon addition, the second delayed by 6 min. The conditions necessary for observing this phenomenon are defined (cell density, probe concentration, substrate, absence of an electron acceptor, multiplicity of infection, growth, and harvesting conditions).The magnitudes of the first and second steps in fluorescence are dependent upon the multiplicity of infection; the timing of the steps is not. The first step correlates with a breakdown in the potassium or rubidium permeability barrier of the cell, and it occurs either aerobically or anaerobically, with fermentable or nonfermentable substrates. The second step occurs only with cells that are without an available electron acceptor, are fermenting, and which have a functional membrane-bound, Ca2+-Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). The results are consistent with disturbance of energization of the cell membrane by the membrane-bound ATPase at the time of the second step in fluorescence. No change in the intracellular level of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) was seen, whereas the extracellular level increased sharply, starting 3-6 min after phage addition. The quantity of ATP found in the medium by 30 min after infection amounted to about four times the amount present inside the cells at the time of infection. The quantity and rate of efflux of ATP was similar under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

    Notes: The sialoglycoprotein subunits of human placental brush border membranes were labeled by sequential treatment with periodate and (3H)-sodium borohydride, which trititates sialic acid, and by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed (125I) iodination of tyrosine residues. The labeled subunits were characterized with respect to their affinity for antisera raised against Triton X-100 extracts of placental brush border membranes. The immunochemically reactive components were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis according to a modification of the O'Farrell technique [20] enabling the assignment of estimated Mr̄ and pI. Of the 33 3H-labeled brush border subunits present in Triton X-100-solubilized membrane preparations, 18 subunits reacted with antiplacental brush border antisera insolubilized on CNBr-activated Sepharose or in immunoprecipitates. Fourteen of these tritiated subunits were also labeled with 125I, confirming that these are glycoproteins.The plasma membranes of normal human liver and microsomes from kidney were examined for the placental brush border glycoprotein subunits by reaction with insolubilized antiplacental brush border antisera and two-dimensional electrophoresis of the reacting tritium-labeled subunits. Comparison of the two-dimensional electrophoretic maps of the immunochemically reacting glycoproteins from liver, kidney, and placenta resulted in the identification of seven placental subunits in common with liver and kidney on the basis of antigenic cross-reactivity, Mr̄, and pI. Four placental glycoproteins were not found in the other tissues and are potentially specific to the placenta. Three of the placental subunits were only seen in placenta and kidney. Three of the subunits ran at the dye front and could not be assigned molecular weights. One of the subunits was poorly labeled by tritiation of sialic acid and was not considered.

    Notes: Cold-insoluble globulin (CIg) is a member of a group of circulating and cell-associated, high-molecular-weight glycoproteins termed fibronectins. CIg was isolated from human plasma by affinity chromatography on gelatin-Sepharose. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified glycoprotein gave a double band that migrated near myosin. The CIg glycopeptides were released by pronase digestion and isolated by chromatography on Sephadex G-50. Affinity chromatography of the major G-50 peak on Con A-Sepharose resulted in two fractions: one-third of the glycopeptides were unbound and two-thirds were weakly bound (WB). Sugar composition analysis of the unbound glycopeptides by GLC of the trimethylsilyl methyl glycosides gave the following molar ratios: sialic acid, 2.5; galactose, 3.0; N-acetylglucosamine, 4.9; and mannose, 3.0. Sugar composition analysis of the WB glycopeptides gave the following molar ratios: sialic acid, 1.7; galactose, 2.0; N-acetylglucosamine, 4.1; and mannose, 3.0. The WB CIg glycopeptides cochromatographed on Sephadex G-50 with WB transferrin glycopeptides giving an estimated molecular weight of 2,800. After degradation with neuraminidase alone or sequentially with β-galactosidase the CIg and transferrin glycopeptides again cochromatographed. Methylation linkage analysis of the intact and the partially degraded glycopeptides indicated that the carbohydrate structure of the major human CIg glycopeptide resembles that of the major glycopeptide from transferrin.

    Notes: We have analyzed the surface proteins of cultured normal rat kidney (NRK) cells and virus-transfromed NRK cells subjected to iron deprivation. Such a treatment specifically induces two transformation-sensitive plasma membrane-associated glycoproteins with a subunit molecular wegiht of 160,000 (160 K) and 130,000 (130 K) daltons in NRK cells. In these cells the 160 K glycoprotein is readily available to lactoperoxidase-mediated iodination, and the 130 K is apparently inaccessible to iodination. Major differences were revealed when iodinated membrane proteins of normal and virus-transformed cells subjected to iron deprivation were compared. In Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed NRK cells the 160 K glycoprotein was weakly labeled. In two clones of simian virus 40-transformed NRK cells the 160 K glycoprotein was weakly labeled or not at all. The 130 K glycoprotein was inaccessible to iodination in all the virus-transformed cell lines.The 160 K and 130 K glycoproteins were isolated form plasma membranes of NRK cells using preparative SDS gel electrophoresis. Antibodies generated against these glycoproteins stained the external surfaces of NRK cells and induced antigen redistribution. Evidence presented suggests that 160 K and 130 K are plasma membrane-associated procollagen molecules. A possible interaction of these proteins with transferrin is also described. The data suggest that these proteins may have an important role in the sequence of events leading to transformation.

    Notes: The present study proposes a technique, using Metrizamide, which permits the preparation of brown adipose tissue plasma membranes from the crude mitochondria as well as from the crude microsome fraction. These plasma membranes have high relative specific activities of their marker enzyme, 5′-nucleotidase (15 ± 3 and 14 ± 2 respectively) and, particularly those originating in the crude microsomes, are relatively free of mitochondria contamination. This study also shows the influence of the mode of cell disruption on microsome integrity. When cell disruption was achieved by grinding in liquid nitrogen the purified microsome NADPH cytochrome c reductase specific activity was found to be 3.5 times greater than that of microsomes obtained after homogenization of the tissue.

    Notes: Acetylcholine receptors were assayed with α-bugarotoxin on embryonic chick skeletal muscle growing in primary cell culture. Toxin was bound specifically to muscle cells and could be competed with D-tubocurarine. Two dissociation constants were obtained by equilibrium binding: 7.2 × 10-9M and 2.7 × 10-7M at 25°C. Two sets of rate constants were also obtained from dissociation kinetics. There are five times more low affinity sites on cells than high affinity sites. The average density of high-affinity receptors is about 200/μm2.A time course of toxin binding to receptors at 37°C vs 25°C in growth medium revealed that under conditions permitting growth and metabolism, toxin bound to cells was lost. The possibility that the growth medium was in-activating toxin molecules was ruled out by showing that unbound toxin molecules in the medium were fully capable of binding to fresh cultures.

    Notes: The activation of adenylate cyclase in lysed pigeon erythrocytes requires, among several cofactors, a nucleotide which may be ATP, GTP, or many other triphosphates. However, after removal of endogenous nucleotides by gel filtration or by adsorption onto charcoal the requirement can be met only by GTP, or an analog of GTP. The GTP is required during the activation of the cyclase by toxin even if GTP is also included during the subsequent adenylate cyclase assay, conducted without toxin. In the presence of GTP it is possible to assay for the cytosolic protein that is also required for the action of cholera toxin. By gel filtration, its apparent molecular weight is 15,000-20,000.

    Notes: Giant T4 phage capsoids formed in canavanine-treated cultures infected by phage mutants in genes 21 and 17, respectively, differ with regard to cleavage of the major capsid protein, gp 23, and in the fine structure of their hexagonal surface lattices. Quantitative computer processing of electron micrographs shows that the significant differences in capsomer morphology amount to six symmetrically placed features present in the uncleaved hexamer but absent after cleavage. These features may be related with the N-terminal portions of gp 23 monomers excised by phage-specific proteolysis. Cleaved 17- giants can be induced to undergo a further structural transformation (expansion). Structural characteristics of partially transformed giant particles give clues about the dynamics of the cleavage and expansion transformations. Both processes appear to be polar, initiating in one cap and propagating along the particle. The transition zone of partial cleavage is diffuse, whereas the transition between unexpanded and expanded areas is confined to a narrow band of some 20 nm width.

    Growth factors and gangliosides: A possible new perspective in neuronal growth control (1979)

    Notes: For many permanent cell lines the transition from a growing (P) to a resting (R) state is reversibly controlled by growth factors present in serum. This P-to-R transition was studied in a neuronal cell line (B 104) with respect to the action of serum, dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DBcAMP), gangliosides, and a glioma cell-produced growth factor GGF. In this cell system gangliosides seem to act as differentiation and survival factors. The kinetics of uptake of radioactively labeled gangliosides and survival experiments both support the idea of the stable incorporation of exogenously added gangliosides into the cells. Based on the experimental evidence a new model of cell development is proposed. Thus in addition to the R or G0 state, which in this cell system is rather unstable and probably regulated by cyclic nucleotides, we postulate a differentiated D state, which is controlled by gangliosides and which is characterized by its stability (survival time). This D compartment seems to be closer to the in vivo differentiated neuron than does the R or P state. The possible mechanisms for the action of gangliosides are discussed.

    Independence of the lethal actions of glucocorticoids on lymphoid cells from possible hormone effects on calcium uptake (1979)

    Notes: We have examined the possibility that hormone-induced increases in calcium uptake might initiate the lethal actions of glucocorticoids in two types of lymphoid cells. Hormone-induced increases in nuclear fragility are used as the measure of hormone action, since in both rat thymus cells and in mouse P1 798 lymphosarcoma cells increased nuclear fragility (the inability of nuclei to survive lysis of the cells by hypotonic shock) precedes other indices of cellular deterioration by several hours.In the case of the tumor cells, those from corticosteroid-sensitive lines are less able to withstand incubation in vitro than resistant cells. Such differences in cell survival are predicted both by earlier changes in nuclear fragility and also by differences in calcium uptake. However, there is no detectable early glucocorticoid effect on calcium uptake that precedes or coincides with the substantial hormone-induced increases in nuclear fragility that develop in the sensitive cells by 2 h.In rat thymus cells the absence of calcium in the medium does prevent some of the increase in nuclear fragility and cell disintegration that occurs spontaneously during incubation in vitro. Nevertheless, when cells are exposed to hormones the glucocorticoid effect on nuclear fragility develops in the absence of calcium and is similar in magnitude to that seen in the presence of calcium.We conclude that calcium seems to enhance the spontaneous deterioration of lymphoid cells, and there is a large increase in calcium uptake that occurs as cells deteriorate. It nevertheless seems unlikely that hormone-induced changes in calcium uptake initiate the lethal actions of glucocorticoids. The data also support a proposal made earlier [2] that resistance to glucocorticoids in tumor cells may develop by the selection of cells with hardier membranes.

    Effect of metabolic inhibitors on vasopressin-stimulated transport systems in the toad bladder (1979)

    Notes: Vasopressin increases the permeability of receptor cells to water and, in tissues such as toad bladder, to solutes such as urea. While cyclic AMP appears to play a major role in mediating the effects of vasopressin, there is evidence that activation of the water permeability system and the urea permeability system involves separate pathways. In the present study, we have shown that inhibitors of oxidative metabolism (rotenone, dinitrophenol, and methylene blue) selectively inhibit either vasopressin-stimulated water flow or vasopressin-stimulated urea transport. There was no inhibition, however, when exogenous cyclic AMP was substituted for vasopressin, and little to no inhibition when the potent analogue 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) was employed. Rotenone had no effect on adenylate cyclase activity or cyclic AMP levels within the cell; dinitrophenol decreased adenylate cyclase activity minimally.Additional studies with vinblastine and nocodazole, inhibitors of microtubule assembly, demonstrated an inhibition of vasopressin and cyclic AMP-stimulated water flow but showed no effect on urea transport.We would conclude that water and urea transport, as examples of hormone-stimulated processes, have different links to cell metabolism, and that in addition to cyclic AMP, a non-nucleotide pathway may be involved in the action of vasopressin.

    Properties of (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase of erythrocyte membranes prepared by different procedures: Influence of Mg2+, Ca2+, ATP, and protein activator (1979)

    Notes: Erythrocyte membranes prepared by three different procedures showed (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase activities differing in specific activity and in affinity for Ca2+. The (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase activity of the three preparations was stimulated to different extents by a Ca2+-dependent protein activator isolated from hemolystes. The Ca2+ affinity of the two most active preparations was decreased as the ATP concentration in the assay medium was increased. Lowering the ATP concentration from 2 mM to 2-200 μM or lowering the Mg:ATP ratio to less than one shifted the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase activity in stepwise hemolysis membranes from mixed “high” and “low” affinity to a single high Ca2+ affinity. Membranes from which soluble proteins were extracted by EDTA (0.1 mM) in low ionic strengh, or membranes prepared by the EDTA (1-10 mM) procedure, did not undergo the shift in the Ca2+ affinity with changes in ATP and MgCl2 concentrations. The EDTA-wash membranes were only weakly activated by the protein activator. It is suggested that the differences in properties of the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-ATPase prepared by these three procedures reflect differences determined in part by the degree of association of the membrane with a soluble protein activator and changes in the state of the enzyme to a less activatable form.

    Notes: The addition of EGF to cultured murine 3T3 cells produces a decrease in EGF binding activity with concomitant internalization and degradation of the initially bound EGF. When the EGF receptor on cultured 3T3 cells is affinity labeled with high specific activity 125I-EGF, and the fate of the affinity labeled EGF-receptor complex determined, the loss in binding activity was accounted for by receptor internalization and subsequent proteolytic processing of the EGF receptor molecules in the lysosomes. Studies of the effects of EGF concentration on EGF binding by cells, EGF-induced receptor internalization and EGF-induced stimulation of 3H-thymidine uptake into cellular DNA show that there is a direct correlation between EGF-induced receptor internalization and EGF-induced stimulation of DNA synthesis, but not between EGF binding and EGF-induced stimulation of DNA synthesis. This correlation is lost at high EGF concentrations, where stimulation of DNA synthesis is suboptimal. Optimal stimulation of DNA synthesis requires a minimum of 6 h of incubation of EGF with cells, and the suboptimal stimulation of DNA synthesis at high EGF concentration is intensified when the period of incubation of EGF with cells is less than 6 h. These data are consistent with a model of hormone signal transmission by Endocytic Activation, wherein the activation of EGF-induced processes requires constant EGF-induced internalization of receptor for a requisite 6-8 h period as an obligatory step in production of “second messenger” in the action of this hormone.

    Notes: Phosvitin (PV), a subunit of a female-specific protein, vitellogenin, binds to oocyte membranes with a KD of 10-6 M. Binding reaches equilibrium within 30 min after incubation at 25°C. Bound 125I-PV dissociates from the membrane with a t1/2 of 13 h when incubated in buffer. However, when 125I-PV-labeled membranes are incubated in buffer containing 10-5 M unlabeled PV, 50% of the initially bound 125I-PV dissociates from the membrane within 10 min. These results support the conclusion that PV binds to a membrane-associated receptor.Solubilization studies show that Triton X-100 solubilizes up to 45% of the total membrane-bound 125I-PV. Gel-exculsion chromatography of the solubilized material yields a 500,000 dalton 125I-PV-containing complex separated from free 125I-PV. The 500,000 dalton complex completely dissociates to yield free 125I-PV when incubated with excess unlabeled PV. However, when incubated with (1) no addition, (2) IgG, or (3) serum albumin, the extent of dissociation is significantly reduced and is consistent with that which would be predicted on the basis of the observed dissociation rate in the absence of unlabeled PV.These results suggest that bound 125I-PV can only be displaced by unlabeled PV. These results also indicate that the 500,000 dalton species is a solubilized PV-receptor complex and that it is possible to solubilize the PV-receptor in an active form.

    Notes: The structure of the gene 5 DNA unwinding protein from bacteriophage fd has been solved to 2.3-Å resolution by X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecule contains an extensive cleft region that we have identified as the DNA binding site on the basis of the residues that comprise its surface. The interior of the groove has a rather large number of basic amino acid residues that serve to draw the polynucleotide backbone into the cleft. Arrayed along the external edges of the groove are a number of aromatic amino acid side groups that are in position to stack upon the bases of the DNA and fix it in place. The structure and binding mechanism as we visualize it appear to be fully consistent with evidence provided by physical-chemical studies of the protein in solution.

    Notes: Vascular endothelial cells cultured in the presence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) devide actively when seeded at low or clonal cell densities and upon reachin confluence adopt a morphologic appearance and differentiated properties similar to those of the vascular endothelium in vovi. In this review, we present some of our recent observations regarding the characteristics (both structural and functional) of these endothelial cells and the role of FGF in controlling their proliferation and normal differentation. At confluence the endothelial cells from a monolayer of closely apposed and nondividing cell that have a nonthrombogenic apical surface and can no longer internalize bound ligands such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The adoption of these properties is correlated and possibly causally related to changes in the cell surface such as the appearance of a 60,000 molecular weight protein (CSP-60); the disappearance of fibronectin from the apical cell surface and its concomitant accumulation in the basal lamina; and a restriction of the lateral mobility of various cell surface receptor sites. In contrast, endothelial cells that are maintained in the absence of FGF undergo within three passages alterations that are incompatible with their in vivo morphologic apperarance and physiologic beharior. They grow at confluence on top of each other and hence can no longer adopt both the structural (CSP-60, cell surface polarity) and functional (barrier function, nonthrombogenicity) attributes of differentiated endothelial cell. Since these characteristics can be reacquired in response to readdition of FGF, in addition to being a mitogen FGF may also be involved in controlling the differentitation and phenotypic expression of the vascular endothelium.

    Notes: The early steps in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins associated with the plasma membranes of rat hepatoma tissue culture cells has been analyzed. By measuring the effect of tunicamycin on the incorporation of [3H] mannose and [3H] fucose into cell glycoproteins, it was determined that an interval of about 1 h was required to transfer the glycoprotein from the site of mannosylation to the site of fucosylation. This result was corroborated by an analysis of the time required for the appearance of either mannose or fucose-labeled glycoproteins at the cell surface. The separation of membrane glycoproteins by a two-dimensional gel system allowed the visualization of the modifications leading to both size and charge heterogeneity of these proteins. By following the changes in electrophoretic mobility introduced into membrane glycoproteins during a chase period after a pulse labeling, the time course of these molecular alterations could be estimated. Several glycoproteins have apparently higher rates of synthesis than the bulk of membrane-associated glycoproteins. Most of these glycoproteins were released within 2 h after biosynthesis from the intracellular membrane fraction and appear after 3 h in the medium. In addition to the glycoproteins that contain both mannose and fucose and that show a high degree of charge heterogeneity, there are other membrane-bound species that are not noticeably modified by the in corporation of fucose or sialic acids. These glycoproteins could represent constituents limited to the internal membrane system of the HTC cell.

    Notes: The biosynthesis and the processing of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides of cellular membrane glycoproteins were examined in monolayer cultures of BHK21 cells and human diploid fibroblasts after pulse-and pulse-chase labeling with [2-3H] mannose. After pronase digestion, radiolabeled glycopeptides were characterized by high-resolution gel filtration, with or without additional digestion with various exoglycosidases and endoglycosidases. Pulse-labeled glycoproteins contained a relatively homogenous population of neutral oligosaccharides (major species: Man9GlcNAc2ASN). The vast majority of these asparagine-linked oligosaccharides was smaller than the major fraction of lipid-linked oligosaccharides from the cell and was apparently devoid of terminal glucose. After pulse-chase or long labeling periods, a significant fraction of the large oligomannosyl cores was processed by removal of mannose units and addition of branch sugars (NeuNAc-Gal-GlcNAc), resulting in complex acidic structures containing three and possibly five mannoses. In addition, some of the large oligomannosyl cores were processed by the removal of only several mannoses, resulting in a mixture of neutral structures with 5-9 mannoses. This oligomannosyl core heterogeneity in both neutral and acidic oligosaccharides linked to asparagine in cellular membrane glycoproteins was analogous to the heterogeneity reported for the oligosaccharides of avian RNA tumor virus glycoproteins (Hunt LA, Wright SE, Etchison JR, Summers DF: J Virol 29:336, 1979).

    Notes: Studies are presented on the effect of cytochalasin B (CB) on the growth of five Mycoplasma species, three Acholeplasma species, and one Spiroplasma species. The three gliding mycoplasma species (M) gallisepticum, M pneumoniae and M pulmonis are the only mycoplasmas inhibited by CB. These are the only prolaryotes reported to be inhibited by CB. This suggested that these three mycoplasmas might have some sort of cytoskeletal structure. A protein fraction has been isolated from M gallisepticum which polymerizes in 0.6 M KC1 and depolymerizes when KC1 is removed. This fraction contains a major 58,000-dalton protein, a 46,000-dalton protein, and a minor 87,000-dalton protein.

    Ganglioside patterns of metastatic and non-metastatic transplantable hepatocellular carcinomas of the rat (1979)

    Notes: In previous investigations, we correlated levels of sialic acid, gangliosides, and ganglioside glycosyltransferases with tumorigenesis over a 24-week continuum of growth of hepatocellular neoplasms of the rat induced by the carcinogen N-2-fluorenylacetamide. However, metastatic tumors developed only rarely and were not analyzed. To investigate surface changes associated with metastasis, well-differentiated and poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas were transplanted to syngeneic recipient rats. From those, several metastatic and nonmetastatic isolates were obtained and compared. Both total and ganglioside sialic acid amounts in transplantable hepatomas were elevated above control liver values but were significantly lower for metastatic lines than for nonmetastatic lines. The nonmetastatic lines were characterized by ganglioside patterns depleted in the precursor ganglioside GM3 (sialic acid-galactose-glucose-ceramide) and elevated in the products of the monosialoganglioside pathway. In contrast, metastatic isolates exhibited a restoration of GM3 and nearer normal amounts of other gangliosides. The findings point to differences in sialic acid-containing glycolipids, comparing metastatic and nonmetastatic hepatocellular carcinomas, and further extend the concept that ganglioside alterations do not cause tumorigenesis but are the end result of a cascade of events which apparently continue beyond the onset of metastasis.

    Isolation of cholera toxin receptors from a mouse fibroblast and lymphoid cell line by immune precipitation (1979)

    Notes: Cholera toxin receptors have been isolated from both a mouse fibroblast (Balbc/3T3) and mouse lymphoid cell line labeled by the galactose oxidase borotritiide technique. Tritiated receptor-toxin complexes solubilized in NP40 were isolated by addition of toxin antibody followed by a protein A-containing strain of Staphylococcus aureus. In both cell types by far the major species of toxin receptor isolated was ganglioside in nature, although galactoproteins were also present in the immune complexes. Whether the galactoproteins form part of a toxin-receptor complex or are artifacts of the isolation procedure is presently unclear.The relative specificity of cholera toxin for a carbohydrate sequence in a glycolipid suggests that the toxin might prove a useful tool in establishing the function and organization of glycolipids in membranes. For example, interaction of cholera toxin with the mouse lymphoid cell line was shown to result in patching and capping of bound toxin, raising the possibility that the glycolipid receptor interacts indirectly with cytoskeletal elements. Cholera toxin might also be used to select for mutant fibroblasts lacking the toxin receptor and therefore having an altered glycolipid profile. Such mutants might prove useful in establishing the relationship (if any) between modified glycolipid pattern and other aspects of the transformed phenotype. Attempts to isolate mutants, based on the expectation that growth of cells containing the toxin receptor would be inhibited by the increase in cAMP levels normally induced by cholera toxin, proved unsuccessful. Cholera toxin failed to inhibit significantly the growth of either Balbc or Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts although it markedly elevated cAMP levels.

    Notes: Human amniotic fluid fibronectin and plasma fibronectin (cold-incoluble globulin) are indistinguishable both immunologically and by amino acid composition. Cyanogen bromide and tryptic peptides also suggest substantial structural homology. However, carbohydrate analysis has demonstrated additional saccharides in fibronectin and an overall increase in carbohydrate content relative to coldinsoluble globulin. Furthermore, limited proteolytic cleavage of the two proteins indicates differences in primary structure or in conformation. Using affinity-purified antibodies to cold-insoluble globulin, a glucosamine-labeled pronaseresistant component, probably proteoglycan, was found to coprecipitate with fibronectin, suggesting an association between these two macromolecules in the connective tissue matrix.

    Notes: A proposal that EGF action is mediated through enhanced internalization of EGF receptors is modified to account for more recent evidence. EGF receptors turn over at a rapid rate, and the maintenance of a steady state of EGF receptors on the cell surface is provided through a rapid synthesis of EGF receptors, balancing their removal. This rapid turnover of unoccupied receptors may arise through their removal. This rapid turnover of unoccupied receptors may arise through their internalization and proteolysis in the lysosomes, in much the same way as receptors are internalized and degraded when exposed to EGF, which enhances internalization. This provides a dilemma for the endocytic activation concept, since slight enhancement of receptor internalization gives rise to a strong hormone response. This problem may be solved by the observation that EGF induces a change in its receptor, exposing an otherwise unavailable site for proteolytic cleavage. This hormone-dependent modification of receptors may be the critical step in the induction of responses to EGF and other hormones that are internalized with their receptors. Both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) are shown to down-regulate EGF receptors, though transiently, placing still more stringent requirements on the specificity by which hormones might act through endocytic activation of their receptors.

    Notes: The polymerization of methyl methacrylate photosensitized by several alkyl ketones has been investigated. It was found that alkyl ketones can induce the free radical polymerization of the monomer with an efficiency that increases when the triplet lifetime decreases. For ketones of similar triplet lifetime those decomposing predominantly by a type I photocleavage show greater initiation efficiencies than those that react by a type II mechanism. The results obtained show that quenching of the excited ketones by the monomer does not induce polymerization. For ketones bearing γ-hydrogens the initiation is due to the 1,4-biradical produced by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction.

    Notes: The effect of γ irradiation on a series of vinyl polymers, which included polymethacrylonitrile, poly(α-chloroacrylonitrile), poly(dimethyl itaconate), poly(acrylic anhydride), and poly(methacrylic anhydride), was studied as part of a program to develop improved positive lithographic resists. Radiation-induced degradation was observed for polymethacrylonitrile, poly(α-chloroacrylonitrile), and poly(methacrylic anhydride). Molecular weight degradation as a function of dose was monitored by membrane osmometry or GPC techniques. For γ-irradiated poly(dimethyl itaconate) and poly(acrylic anhydride) crosslinking was found to predominate over chain scission. [G(s)-G(x)] values, calculated from molecular weight inverse versus dose curves, indicate that both nitrile polymers degraded more efficiently than a poly(methyl methacrylate) reference standard on the basis of Mn changes. The radiation behavior of the first three polymers confirms earlier findings than vinyl polymers with quaternary carbons predominantly degrade when subjected to ionizing radiation.

    Notes: The triethylamine-initiated polymerization of glycine-NCA [N-carboxylic acid anhydrides (oxazolidine-2,5-diones)], L-alanine-NCA, and sarcosine-NCA, as well as the pyridine-initiated polymerization of sarcosine-NCA, were carried out in the presence of potential cocatalysts. The 11 electrophilic reagents tested in this work can be divided into two classes: N-acyllactams and similar compounds, which are less reactive than the monomers and have no influence on the polymerization; and isocyanates and N-acyl-NCAs or -NTAs [N-thiocarboxylic acid anhydrides (thiazolldine-2,5-diones)], which are more electrophilic than the monomers and behave as cocatalysts in the case of glycine-NCA and alanine-NCA, since their base-initiated polymerization proceeds via the attack of NCA anions on the electrophilic N-acyl NCA chain and (“activated monomer mechanism”). In the case of sarcosine-NCA, however, the propagation involves a nucleophilic chain end (“carbamate mechanism”) and the strong electrophilic reagents behave as inhibitors.

    Notes: Reaction of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with superoxide anion was carried out in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 40°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Remarkable changes in infrared (IR) spectra of the samples treated with superoxide anion were observed in the following regions: ca. 3300, 1680, 1620, and 765 cm-1, which suggested the formation of hydroxyl groups, α,β-unsaturated ketone groups, and ethylenic structures. Ultraviolet-visible spectra also showed the formation of polyene structures. The content of chlorine in the polymer decreased and that of oxygen increased with reaction time. The reaction mechanism was discussed on the basis of these results.

    Notes: To determine the content of trans-gauche-trans (TGT) conformation in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 1H-NMR spectra were measured with tris(1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyl-1,4,6-octanedinato)europium(III) [Eu(fod)3] as a shift reagent. As a result the peaks assigned to the ethylene protons in the polymeric segments separated from those assigned to four ethylene protons as the “near-end” groups, and the singlet peak in the former at the lowest field was assigned to the TGT conformation of the COCCOC sequence. It was confirmed that the conformation of the polymeric segments in PEG complexed with Eu(fod)3 remained unchanged with benzene-d6 content as the solvent. The concentration of TGT conformation increased with the number-average molecular weight (Mn): it increased rapidly until about 70% at Mn = 1500.

    Notes: γ-Ray-induced polymerizations of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FMMA) in crystalline and amorphous states were investigated with kinetical and ESR methods. In the crystalline state the polymerization of FMMA proceeded slowly and gave low-molecular-weight polymers, whereas in the amorphous state it proceeded rapidly and gave polymers of much higher molecular weight. Molecular weight distributions of these polymers were binodal. The temperature dependence and the dose-rate dependence of the polymerization rates were different between the two states. Wide-line nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the amorphous monomer suggested that the polymerization proceeded in a supercooled state. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of γ-irradiated FMMA and 1,1′-ferrocenyl-di(methyl methacrylate) showed that ferrocene radicals and methacrylic radicals were formed simultaneously at low temperature; with increasing temperature the former radicals disappeared, whereas the latter changed into growing chain radicals. The yields of radicals were relatively low; this means that ferrocene groups in the monomers behave as a radiation energy absorber.

    Notes: It was found that carbon disulfide copolymerizes with N-(β-cyanoethyl) ethylenimine by using water as a catalyst. The copolymerization was conducted in detail by using water as a catalyst in the temperature range between 0 and 50°C with various initial concentrations of carbon disulfide and N-(β-cyanoethyl)ethylenimine in the absence of solvent. The copolymer obtained was always composed of the two monomers: 1:1 ratio, independent of the initial concentration of the monomers. The copolymer was white solid material soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, insoluble in other usual organic solvents and decomposed at 155°C. Spectroscopic analysis of the copolymer combined with the results of elemental analysis indicates that the copolymer had the following structure:

    Notes: Alternating polyampholytes (MA-VA) containing two acidic groups and one basic group were prepared by the copolymerization of maleic anhydride (M1) and N-vinylsuccinimide (M2) at 60°C with AIBN as the initiator, followed by acid hydrolysis with 1N hydrochloric acid at 140°C for 24 hr. The monomer reactivity ratios r1 and r2 are 0.025 and 0.06, respectively. The structure of polymers was discussed on the basis of the data of their elementary, infrared (IR), and thermal analyses and the binding ability of heavy metal ion. Polyampholytes were soluble in strong acidic and basic media but were precipitated in the pH range 3-4. An isoelectric point at pH 3 was determined by potentiometric titration and the turbidimetric method. By thermal treatment above 205°C the polyampholyte turned quantitatively into a cyclized lactam. This suggests that the polyampholyte MA-VA has an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amino and γ-carboxyl groups. The binding of Cu2+ and Hg2+ by the polyelectrolyte was evaluated by equilibrium dialysis.

    Notes: Detailed results of the overall thermal degradation of poly(butylene terephthalate) are reported. Laser microprobe analysis and dynamic mass spectrometric techniques were used to identify the primary volatile degradation products and initial pyrolysis reactions that control polymer degradation. A complex multistage decomposition mechanism was observed which involves two major reaction pathways. Initial degradation occurs by an ionic decomposition process that results in the evolution of tetrahydrofuran. This is followed by concerted ester pyrolysis reactions that involve an intermediate cyclic transition state and yield 1,3-butadiene. Simultaneous decarboxylation reactions occur in both decomposition regimes. Finally, the latter stages of polymer decomposition were characterized by evolution of CO and complex aromatic species such as toluene, benzoic acid, and terephthalic acid. Activation energies of formation for the main pyrolysis products were determined from the dynamic measurements of the major ion species and indicate values of E = 27.9 kcal/mole for the production of tetrahydrofuran and E = 49.7 kcal/mole for the production of butadiene.

    Notes: This article deals with studies of the dilute solution properties of methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile (MMA-AN) copolymer of 0.415 mole fraction (mf) of acrylonitrile composition. Mark - Houwink parameters for this copolymer have been evaluated in acetonitrile (MeCN), 2-butanone (MEK), dimethyl formamide (DMF), and γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL). The Mark-Houwink exponent a in all four solvents at all temperatures is larger than the corresponding values of the parent homopolymers. The solvent power is in the order of DMF 〈 γ-BL 〈 MEK 〈 MeCN; [η] decreases with an increase in temperature, which is behavior characteristic of polymers in good solvent. The unperturbed dimensions (K0) values, obtained by the Stockmayer-Fixman method, are lower than those for the parent homopolymers and depend on solvent as well as temperature. The solute - solvent interaction parameter X1 values are close to 0.5; X1 is independent of temperature. The excess interaction parameter XABvalues are negative. The results for this copolymer system in regard to low second virial coefficient A2, large X1, and high a values suggest that the large extension of these copolymer chains is due to the unusual short-range interactions.

    Notes: (2-Ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl- and (2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl acrylates were synthesized and polymerized. The photochemical behavior of the resulting polymers was investigated to determine whether the polymers pending on the 1,3-dioxolane structure were readily crosslinked with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The degree of crosslinking was estimated by the weight-loss method by immersion in acetone, with the result that the polymer with an aromatic substituent was more photocrosslinkable than the polymer that bore the aliphatic substituent. The catalytic effect on photocrosslinking of polymers was also studied by using benzoin and cobalt naphthenate. The infrared (IR) spectra of polymers irradiated in air that showed the new band at 3450 cm-1 were attributed to a hydroxyl group; however, the spectra of polymers irradiated in vacuum displayed little absorption at 3450 cm-1. To explain the mechanism of crosslinking model compounds were prepared and irradiated with UV light. It was concluded that crosslinking proceeds mainly from the fission of the 1,3-dioxolane ring and the coupling of the yielding radicals, together with autooxidation by atmospheric oxygen.

    Notes: Behavior of the free radical copolymerization of N-β-methacryloyloxyethyl derivatives of adenine with that of thymine was studied in chloroform solution, taking account of the specific base-base interaction of these monomers. Hydrogen bonding interaction between such monomers was observed by NMR spectroscopy. The acceleration of copolymerization was found to be greater either at lower monomer concentration or at lower polymerization temperature. When N-β-methacryloyloxyethylcarbazole was used as a comonomer, the rate of copolymerization showed a similar trend as in the case of usual free radical copolymerizations. From r1 and r2 values obtained, the copolymerization was found to be alternating, particularly in the case of copolymerization between monomers having complementary nucleic acid bases. The results suggest that the hydrogen bonding interaction between adenine and thymine plays a role in the propagation step.

    Notes: “Pyran” copolymer, the 2:1 regularly alternating cyclocopolymer (DVE - MA) of maleic anhydride (MA) and divinyl ether (DVE), first discovered in 1951, has been investigated extensively, both from the standpoint of its chemical structure and its biological activity. Although certain aspects of its structure remain to be determined, it has been shown to possess a wide spectrum of biological activity. It possesses antitumor activity and has been investigated clinically. During the clinical investigation, it was found to be an interferon inducer. Interferon is a protein which appears to be the body's first line of defense against viral infection. DVE - MA also possesses antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiarthritic, and anticoagulant properties, activates macrophages, inhibits reverse transcriptase, and is capable of elimination of Pu. During the course of investigations in these laboratories, many structural modifications of DVE - MA have been made. Many of these modifications also possess considerable antitumor activity and interferon-induction capability. Perhaps the most interesting structural modification has been the incorporation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) into the polymer (NSC 255083). This polymer has shown (T/C)% [= ratio of test (T) to control (C) survival times] = 189 for dose by intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg/kg animal weight in CD2F1 mice (6/6 survivors after fifth day) against P388 lymphocytic leukemia. This article describes the synthesis of both the monomer and copolymer, and a study of the hydrolytic rate of release of 5-FU from the polymer.

    Notes: 2,2,4-Trimethyl-3-on-1-pentyl methacrylate (TMPM) was first synthesized from the condensation reaction of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1-pentanol-3-on with methacrylic acid. Second, the polymerization of TMPM and the copolymerization of TMPM with styrene (St) were carried out in benzene at 60°C, using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. As the result of kinetic investigation, the rate of polymerization (Rp) could be expressed by: Rp = k[AIBN]0.5 [TMPM]1.0. Kinetic constants of polymerization of TMPM were obtained as follows: kp/kt1/2 = 0.27 dm3/2 mole-1/2 sec-1/2, 2fkd = 1.23 × 10-5 sec-1, f = 0.73, Cm = 2.6 × 10-5, Cs = 1.1 × 10-5. From the results the reactivity of TMPM was found to be larger than that of methyl methacrylate. The overall activation energy was calculated to be 110 kJ mole-1. The following monomer reactivity ratios and Q, e values were obtained: TMPM(M1) - St(M2): r1 = 1.50, r2 = 0.14, Q1 = 2.63, E1 = 0.45.

    Notes: The homopolymerization of propylene oxide was first conducted at 80°C in the absence of any solvent by using various metal salts of acetic acid and it was found that Mg(OAc)2, Cr(OAc)3, Mn(OAc)2, Co(OAc)2, Ni(OAc)2, Zn(OAc)2, and Sn(OAc)2 were effective for the polymerization. The copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide was next examined by using these effective metal salts of acetic acid as catalysts. Most of these were effective also for the copolymerization. The nature of the polymer obtained was strongly dependent on the catalyst used. Co(OAc)2 and Zn(OAc)2 gave an alternate copolymer of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide, Mg(OAc)2, Cr(OAc)3, and Ni(OAc)2 gave a random copolymer, while Sn(OAc)2 gave a homopolymer of propylene oxide. Then the copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide was kinetically investigated in some detail by using Co(OAc)2 as a catalyst. On the basis of the results obtained, a plausible mechanism was proposed for both the homopolymerization of propylene oxide and copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide.

An initiator-started polymerization can follow course A or course B, depending on the initial ratio of the concentrations of the initiator and monomer.

    Notes: The copolymerizations of l-menthyl vinyl ether (l-MVE) with the monomers, that is, maleic anhydride (MAn), dimethyl maleate (DMM), and dimethyl fumarate (DMFu), were undertaken to obtain optically active copolymers. The optically active l-menthyl group in the side chain of copolymers was removed by the ether cleavage reaction with dry-hydrogen bromide gas. The ethercloven copolymers were still optically active. Hence it was concluded that asymmetric carbon atoms were introduced into the copolymer main chain, the reason given being that l-MVE and comonomers (MAn, DMM, and DMFu) made the stereoselective charge-transfer complex one another and copolymerized stereospecifically. From the results of the measurements of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism (CD) for copolymers before and after the ether cleavage reaction, the mode of bond opening for α,β-substituted monomers (MAn, DMM, and DMFu) was discussed and the microstructures of copolymers were prepared.

    Notes: The stability of PTFE latex prepared in the absence of emulsifier by radiation-induced polymerization was investigated by electrophoresis and conductometric titration. The storage stability depends on total dose rather than dose rate, and the stable latex can be obtained in the region log D 〉 0.026 V1 - 0.6, where D is the total dose (104 rad) and V1 is a polymer concentration in latex (g/liter). The stability increases only during polymerization in the presence of enough TFE monomer. The ζ potential of the latex particles lies in the region from -25 to -50 mV in an as-polymerized state (near pH 3) and from -50 to -65 mV at pH 10. The number of carboxyl end groups and surface charge density were examined by conductometric titration with NaOH and calculation from the G values of radiolysis of water. All the surface charge densities measured by conductometric titration are larger than those calculated from the G values. These results suggest that some acids have been formed on the surface of the particles. The acids may be the carboxyl end groups of polymer chains or hydrofluoric acid (HF) adsorbed on the surface. PTFE particles prepared in this polymerization system are stabilized mainly due to the carboxyl end groups and adsorptions of OH- and HF on the particles.

Bi-ionic potential (BIP) has also been measured for these membranes with three pairs of electrolyte solutions: KCl—NaCl, KCl—LiCl, and NaCl—LiCl. Theoretical values of BIP have been calculated by using the membrane potential and BIP theories recently developed by Toyoshima et al., based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Various parameters have also been evaluated and it was found that the theoretical equation of BIP is applicable to these parchment-supported membranes.

    Notes: Two new techniques for the determination of monomer reactivity ratios in copolymerization under high-pressure conditions have been developed, viz., the “sandwich” and the “quenching” method. Both methods are based on repeated quantitative gas chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixture during the low-pressure stages preceding and succeeding the high-pressure stage, of which the kinetics is under investigation. Application of the “sandwich” method implies the occurrence of reaction during both low-pressure stages and consequently the low-pressure kinetic data are required to obtain the transition points of low to high pressure and vice versa. These points constitute the initial and final conditions of the relevant high-pressure reaction. On the contrary, in the “quenching” method no reaction occurs during the low-pressure stages, owing to the lower temperature and the high activation energy of the initiator decomposition. As a consequence, the initial and final conditions of the high-pressure stage can be determined by a simple averaging procedure. Both methods have been tested for the ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymerization at 62°C and 600 kg/cm2 with tert-butyl alcohol as solvent, and appear to lead to almost identical monomer reactivity ratios, although the “quenching” method is slightly preferred in case of copolymerization reactions. Both methods are particularly valuable when one of the reactants is gaseous or the reaction produces a gas. Further merits and drawbacks of both methods are discussed.

    Notes: In due consideration of the specific base-base interaction that exists between nucleic acid molecules, the free radical polymerization of N-β-methacryloyloxyethyl derivatives of adenine, thymine, and theophylline initiated by azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was studied in the presence of N-β-methacryloyloxyethyl-type polymers which have complementary nucleic acid bases as template polymers. The rate of polymerization of N-β-methacryloyloxyethyladenine was accelerated when poly(N-β-methacryloyloxyethyluracil) or -thymine was present in the polymerization system. The effect of the stereoregularity of the template polymers, as well as polymerization temperature and the sort of solvents used on the rate of polymerization, was studied and discussed in some detail. The results suggest that the interaction between complementary bases plays a role in template polymerization behavior.

    Notes: Catalytic actions of various additives were studied in the polycondensation of di(4-nitrophenyl) isophthalate with bis(4-aminophenyl) ether in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) was found to be a highly effective catalyst that yielded high-molecular-weight polyamide. In addition to the polycondensation of the 4-nitrophenyl ester, the polymerization of negatively substituted phenyl esters like di(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) isophthalate was also accelerated by HOBt. For the HOBt-catalyzed aminolysis of esters a bifunctional concerted mechanism that involves an eight-membered transition state was proposed.

    Notes: The equilibrium constants of the coordination reaction of chlorodimethylformamide·cobaloxime with 4-vinylpyridine-styrene copolymers (PPS) were determined. The constants for PPS, which contain 20-50% 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) unit, measured about 1.3 × 105 liter/mole larger than those in the pyridine system (6.8 × 104 liter/mole). When the polymer ligand is 4VP homopolymer or contains less than 20% 4VP unit, K values are lower. The rate constants (kf) of the coordination reactions of the cobaloxime with polymer ligands were also measured in dimethylformamide (DMF) and benzene. In DMF kf decreased with an increase in 4VP unit content of the polymer ligand; in benzene it was increased by the 4VP fraction. These results can be explained by the variation in conformation of the polymer chain in each solvent. The effect of the polymer chain on complexation was discussed on the basis of the kinetic data.

    Notes: The structure of the 1:2 copolymer of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride was investigated by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The polymer contains the bicyclic unit composed of one molecule of each monomer and the maleic anhydride unit. The carbon chemical shift for these units was calculated on the basis of the chemical shift of many model compounds. The major peaks of the cyclopolymer prepared in chloroform were consistent with the presence of the symmetrical bicyclic unit with cis junction and the trans monocyclic anhydride unit. The carbonyl carbon spectrum for the copolymer obtained in a mixed solvent of acetone and CS2 suggested the predominant formation of the unsymmetrical bicyclic unit. The polymerization process was discussed on the basis of these results.

For the polymer pairs containing complementary nucleic acid bases both hypochromicity and hyperchromicity were found. Stereoregularity of the polymers, as well as the conditions for measurement of, for example, solvent, temperature, and time, affected the complex formation. Both inter- and intramolecular interaction of polymers in solution were discussed in some detail.

    Notes: Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) copolymerize in the presence of zinc chloride at 3°C under photoirradiation. The contents of methyl methacrylate in the copolymers obtained at a [ZnCl2]/[MMA] molar ratio of 0.4 are systematically larger than 53 mole %, which is the limiting value at a small feed ratio of methyl methacrylate. The resulting copolymers are confirmed as the sole products and not the mixtures by thin layer chromatography. The effect of dilution of the monomer feed mixture with toluene on copolymer composition suggests that it depends chiefly on the feed concentration of styrene and hardly at all on monomer feed ratios. Copolymerizations are also conducted in the presence of stannic chloride at -17°C under photoirradiation and in the presence of ethylaluminium sesquichloride at 0°C with spontaneous initiation. The contents of methyl methacrylate in both copolymers obtained at feed ratios lower than 60 mole % almost correspond to the 1:1 alternating copolymer and increase systematically with higher feed ratios. The systematic deviations of copolymer composition obtained in the presence of metal halides are reasonably interpreted by the participation of the binary molecular complex composed of metal halide and methyl methacrylate in the polymerization of the ternary molecular complex composed of metal halide, methyl methacrylate, and styrene.

    The formation of polyethylene terephthalate in the presence of dicarboxylic acids (1979)

    Notes: The process of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) formation in the presence of dicarboxylic acids has been studied. Certain amounts of terephthalic acid (TPA) have two- to threefold accelerating efficiency in the polycondensation process. To elucidate the causes of the acceleration the main reactions leading to PET formation in the presence of dicarboxylic acids have been investigated by the use of models. The evaluation of kinetic and equilibrium parameters obtained for model reactions made it possible to conclude that the influence of carboxyl-containing additives on the apparent rate of polycondensation manifests itself in accelerating direct reactions and facilitating the liberation of the eliminated by-product; that is, ethylene glycol (EG) from the polymer melt. Carboxylic acid acts as a catalyst on the ester interchange of 2-hydroxyethyl ester end groups and thus increases the rate of polymer formation in this reaction 10-40 times. The parallel interaction between the 2-hydroxyethyl ester end group and the carboxyl group of the added acid is also catalyzed by the acid and its rate constant is four times larger than that of the catalytic polycondensation of 2-hydroxyethyl ester end groups. Unlike EG, the reaction water formed in the process is more readily removed from the reaction system and thus promotes the intensification of the process. In addition, the carboxyl groups react with the eliminated EG to decrease its amount and shift the equilibrium toward polymer formation. The investigation of the consequent parallel reactions on models made it possible to draw a conclusion about the higher reactivity of 2-hydroxyethyl esters in the esterification processes. This fact has been explained by strengthening the nucleophilicity of the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl of a 2-hydroxyethyl ester group compared with that of EG; for example, by the formation of an intramolecular cycle involving a hydrogen bond. Simultaneously, it has been found that in the system simulating PET polycondensation in the presence of dicarboxylic acids the reaction mechanism involves the catalysis by a proton formed during the carboxyl group dissociation and accepted by the 2-hydroxyethyl ester group.

    Notes: The heterogeneous polymerization of acrylonitrile photoinitiated by naphthalene is influenced by the polarity of the reaction medium. The rate of initiation increases with the increasing dielectric strength of the reaction medium. A similar trend is observable for Stern-Volmer constants of naphthalene fluorescence quenching by acrylonitrile. The ratio kp/kt1/2 of the rate constant for propagation and termination reactions is not influenced by a change in the polarity of the reaction medium. The effect of viscosity on the value of kp/kt1/2 known for polymerization in a homogeneous medium was not observed in the reaction systems studied.

    Notes: The γ-ray-induced addition reaction of carbon tetrachloride onto syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene film and liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was carried out at room temperature. In the film gelation was pronounced and the rate of addition increased as the crystallinity of the polymer decreased. In the liquid gelation, which makes the polymer insoluble in carbon tetrachloride, did not take place, although a definite crosslinking reaction was noticed. In this case the appearance of the product changed from a viscous liquid to a white powder as the reaction proceeded. Its structure was compared with that of chlorinated 1,2-polybutadiene. The addition of carbon tetrachloride to the vinyl group in liquid 1,2-polybutadiene caused an anti-Markownikoff-type reaction and was accompanied by an unexpectedly large vinyl depletion in the polymer. The total decrease in the vinyl group was found to be much larger than that brought about by the addition of carbon tetrachloride. This discrepancy was attributed to a cyclization and crosslinking reaction ascribed to the vinyl group bound by the main chain. Cyclization and crosslinking were less noticeable in the chlorination than in the carbon tetrachloride.

    Notes: Products from the thermal decomposition of a chlorinated aromatic polyamide fabric are described for conditions of pyrolysis and flaming and nonflaming oxidative degradation. Volatile degradation products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the condensible fraction, by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and MS. Nonvolatile char was characterized by IR and elemental analysis. Twenty-one compounds were identified as volatile products from pyrolysis at 550°C; the condensible material contained ammonium chloride and at least 22 organic compounds. From volatile compounds produced in flaming oxidative degradation 21 compounds were identified, of which CO, CO2, and H2O were prominent. Nonflaming oxidative degradation at 400 and 550°C produced 11 and 21 volatile identifiable compounds, respectively, and results from experiments at the higher temperature compared favorably with results from the flaming experiments. By comparison of data from this work with those from unchlorinated analogs (described in an earlier article), it is concluded that the incorporation of chlorine into the polymeric structure lowers the temperature for the onset of thermal degradation and alters the type and concentration of thermolytic products. The major degradation products can be explained by a mechanism similar to that proposed for aromatic polyamides with the exception of the formation of substantial amounts of ammonium chloride. It is proposed that the latter is formed by an initial acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction which is followed by deammoniation or by an intermolecular process that involves an isoimide intermediate.

The relative orders of polymerization rates and polymerization efficiencies, in both solvents, were 9-vinylanthracene 〉 2-vinylnaphthalene 〉 styrene, with faster rates and higher efficiencies occurring in sulfolane. Data obtained from viscosity and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) studies indicate that the molecular weights of the polymers produced in these systems are extremely low, 〈5000. Chemical composition and infrared (IR) spectral data suggest that abnormal transfer reactions (possibly from solvent) may be occurring in the electroinitiated 9-vinylanthracene polymerizations. The polymerization mechanism appears to be cationic in these monomer-solvent systems with ZnCl2.

    Notes: 2-Butene(2B) copolymerizes with 3-heptene(3H) and 4-methyl-2-pentene(4M2P) by a monomer-isomerization copolymerization mechanism in the presence of TiCl3-(C2H5)3Al catalyst at 80°C to yield the copolymers of 1-olefin units. By comparison, the copolymerization of 1-butene(1B) with 4-methyl-1-pentene(4M1P) was also carried out under similar conditions. The composition of the copolymers obtained from these copolymerizations was determined from the ratios of optical densities D723/D1380 and D1170/D1380 in their infrared (IR) spectra. The apparent monomer reactivity ratios for the monomer-isomerization copolymerization of 2B with 3H and 4M2P, in which the concentration of olefin monomer in the feed was used as 2-olefin, were determined as follows: cis-2B(M1)/3H(M2); r1 = 4.00, r2 = 0.20: trans-2B(M1)/3H; r1 = 3.50, r2 = 0.20; 4M2P(M1)-trans-2B(M2): r1 = 0.05, r2 = 9.0. These results indicate that the isomerization of 2-olefins to 1-olefins was important to monomer-isomerization copolymerization.

    Notes: The copolymerization of 3-methyl-1-butene (3M1B), 2-methyl-2-butene (2M2B), or 2-methyl-1-butene (2M1B) with trans-2-butene (2B) was attempted in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. It was found the 3M1B underwent monomer-isomerization copolymerization with 2B to give a copolymer consisting of both 3M1B and 1-butene (1B) units, with an infrared (IR) spectrum in good agreement with that obtained from the copolymerization of 3M1B with 1B under similar conditions. When the apparent copolymerization parameters obtained by a TiCl3-(C2H5)3Al catalyst were compared, the apparent reactivity of 3M1B observed in the 3M1B-2B system was much higher than that in the 3M1B-1B system. However, 2M2B and 2M1B did not undergo monomer-isomerization copolymerization with 2B, and only the homopolymer of 1B was obtained under similar conditions.
