    Notes: In vertebrate skeletal muscle, the proliferating myoblasts synthesize nonmuscle isoforms of actin, and the cells begin to express muscle-specific actin isoforms during their myogenic differentiation. To study the distributions of the actin isoforms in myogenic cells and fully differentiated skeletal muscle, we prepared a peptide antibody specific for the skeletal α isoform of actin and used this antibody along with an antibody specifically reactive with nonmuscle γ actin to stain cultured myotubes and adult skeletal myofibrils by double-indirect immunofluorescence. At this level of resolution, no differences in isoform localization were seen: Both muscle and nonmuscle actins were detected in the myotubes and in the striations of mature myofibrils. Myotubes were also double-stained using immunogold electron microscopy, and the isoform distributions were determined quantitatively by counting the two sizes of gold particles that corresponded to labeling with each antibody. A quantitative analysis of immunoreactivity revealed that, although both forms were present in all actin-containing structures, nonmuscle actin was relatively more prevalent along the edges (cortical microfilaments) of the myotubes, whereas the muscle isoform predominated in the interior regions (containing forming myofibrils). Thus, we have found evidence of a heterogeneous distribution of muscle and nonmuscle actin isoforms in differentiating myogenic cells, and we have demonstrated that a nonmuscle actin isoform is a component of the muscle contractile apparatus.

    Notes: Mechanical properties of the mitotic spindle and the effects of various operations of the mitotic apparatus on the chromosome movement and spindle elongation were investigated in fertilized eggs and blastomeres of the sand dollar, Clypeaster japonicus. On the basis of results with mechanical stretching and compression of the spindle with a pair of microneedles and the behavior of an oil drop microinjected into the spindle, it was concluded that the equatorial region of the spindle is mechanically weaker than the half-spindle region. Anaphase chromosome movement occurred in the spindle from which an aster had been removed or separated with its polar end and in the spindle in which the interzonal region had been removed. This fact indicates that chromosomes move poleward in anaphase by forces generated near the kinetochores in the half-spindle. Because of the effects of separation or removal of an aster from the spindle on the spindle elongation in anaphase and the behavior of the aster, it was concluded that the spindle elongation in anaphase is caused by pulling forces generated by asters attached to the ends of the spindle.

    Notes: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and associated organelle and particle movements in onion (Allium cepa) bulb scale epidermal cells were observed, recorded, and analyzed using computer-assisted video (AVEC-DIC, AVEC-POL and fluorescence) microscopy. The ER is composed of two interconnected sets of filamentous membrane tubules with diameters ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 μm. The first form a more stable, stationary network of intersecting polygonal membrane tubules lying closely appressed to the plasma membrane and continuous with a second very dynamic set of longer membrane tubules that often are located parallel to each other, shifting rapidly around the cytoplasm and forming dynamic knots or organization centers. The ER, mitochondria, and spherosomes fluoresced upon chlortetracycline treatment and are therefore presumed to sequester calcium. ER and mitochrondria also stain with the fluorescent dye, rhodamine 123. Mitochrondria and spherosomes are seen to move in the cytoplasm only along paths parallel to the axis of the ER tubules. Smaller particles (0.5 μm) tend to follow these same paths but may occasionally move independently. Particles and organelles move in close, but not in direct, association with the ER tubules. In optically favored cells, actin filaments were occasionally recorded located in parallel with the ER tubules and directly associated with moving particles. Streaming ceased promptly and reversibly upon treatment with cytochalasin B, which did not visibly disrupt the ER. Short-term treatment with colchicine did not inhibit streaming or disrupt the ER network, whereas long-term (hours) colchicine treatments caused the disappearance of the stationary, cortical polygonal networks and an aggregation of still slowly moving organelles and particles onto now visible actin filaments. This suggests that microtubule breakdown disrupts the three-dimensional distribution of the ER and rearranges actin filaments in the cell's cytoplasm. Actin filaments must be directly involved in generation of movement of the particles and organelles. A three-dimensional model, based on optical sectioning of the epidermal cells, is proposed to illustrate the distribution of the endoplasmic reticulum in onion epidermal cell cytoplasm.

    Notes: We describe preliminary results from two studies exploring the dynamics of microtubule assembly and organization within chromosomal spindle fibers. In the first study, we microinjected fluorescently labeled tubulin into mitotic PtK1 cells and measured fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP) to determine the assembly dynamics of the microtubules within the chromosomal fibers in metaphase cells depleted of nonkinetochore microtubules by cooling to 23-24°C. FRAP measurements showed that the tubulin throughout at least 72% of the microtubules within the chromosomal fibers exchanges with the cellular tubulin pool with a half-time of 77 sec. There was no observable poleward flux of subunits. If the assembly of the kinetochore microtubules is governed by dynamic instability, our results indicate that the half-life of microtubule attachment to the kinetochore is less than several min at 23-24°C.In the second study, we used high-resolution polarization microscopy to observe microtubule dynamics during mitosis in newt lung epithelial cells. We obtained evidence from 150-nm-thick optical sections that microtubules throughout the spindle laterally associate for several sec into “rods” composed of a few microtubules. These transient lateral associations between microtubules appeared to produce the clustering of nonkinetochore and kinetochore microtubules into the chromosomal fibers. Our results indicate that the chromosomal fiber is a dynamic structure, because microtubule assembly is transient, lateral interactions between microtubules are transient, and the attachment of the kinetochores to microtubules may also be transient.

    Notes: The ability to tag biological molecules fluorescently and to detect their distribution in living cells has promoted the study of cytoplasmic organization in general and microtubule dynamics in particular. The techniques that we have selected and developed allowed the determination of spatial and temporal changes of the microtubule network in living fibroblasts at the level of individual microtubules. We have employed two general approaches for determining pattern changes: direct video microscopy and photobleaching and subsequent observation. Direct observation of fluorescent microtubules by high-definition video microscopy provided good spatial resolution at several time points, but was limited to the less congested and thinner periphery of the cell. This approach was made possible by a relatively bright, photostable reporter, xrhodamine-tubulin, and showed that microtubules underwent rounds of assembly and disassembly from their ends. Bleaching and subsequent observation of lysed cells improved the signal to noise ratio by extracting soluble chromophore and permitted observations in congested areas, but was limited to a single time interval. This approach demonstrated that microtubule domains were replaced one by one and that turnover was most rapid at the cell periphery. Antibodies specific for nonbleached chromophore can be used to enhance the signal to noise ratio further or to extend spatial resolution by the use of immunoelectron microscopy. Direct video microscopy and photo-bleaching are two approaches to the study of dynamics that have complementary strengths and wide application to the biology of living cells.

    Vesikin, a vesicle associated ATPase from squid axoplasm and optic lobe, has characteristics in common with vertebrate brain MAP 1 and MAP 2 (1988)

    Notes: Vesikin, a protein that can associate with squid axoplasmic vesicles or optic lobe microtubuies, has been implicated as a force-generating molecule involved in microtubule-dependent vesicle transport [Gilbert and Sloboda, 1986, 1988]. Because vesikin crossreacts with an antibody to porcine brain microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP 2), studies were conducted to compare squid vesikin and brain MAPs. When taxol stabilized microtubules containing vesikin as a microtubule associated protein were incubated in the presence of ATP, vesikin dissociated from the microtubule subunit lattice. This behavior would be expected for an ATP-dependent, force generating molecule that serves as a crossbridge between vesicles and microtubules. When chick brain microtubules were treated under the same conditions, MAP 2 remained bound to the microtubules while MAP 1 dissociated in a manner similar to vesikin. One dimensional peptide mapping procedures revealed that, although digestion of vesikin and MAP 2 generated several peptides common to both proteins, vesikin and MAP 2 are clearly not identical. Furthermore, the addition of vesikin or MAPS 1 and 2 to purified tubulin stimulated microtubule assembly in a manner dependent on the concentration of added protein. These findings demonstrate that brain MAPs share characteristics common to squid vesikin and support the suggestion that brain MAPs 1 and 2 might act as a force generating complex for vesicle transport in higher organisms.

    Notes: Allen Video-enhanced constrast/differential interference constrast (AVEC-DIC) microscopy was used in conjunction with video intensification immunofluorescence microscopy to demonstrate that organelles and vesicle (particles) can move in either direction along microtubular linear elements in fibroblasts [Hayden et al., 1983]. Since it is not possible to determine the number of microtubules making up a linear element with light microscopy alone, AVEC-DIC microscopy was used in conjunction with whole-mount electron microscopy to show bidirectional transport along a single microtubule [Hayden and Allen, 1984]. These studies demonstrate that the structural polarity of the microtubule does not determine the direction of particle motion, and since dynein is an asymetric molecule, a simple microtubule-dynein-particle hypothesis cannot explain bidirectional transport along a single microtubule.Very little is known about regulation of particle transport in most cell types. Human embryonic lung fibroblasts grown on glass coverslips were serum-deprived for 24 hours and re-fed with serumless medium; the particle translocations/5 minutes were then determined The cells were then re-fed with either serumless medium, serum-containing medium, or serumless medium containing some bioactive factor, and the particle translocations/5 minutes were again determined for the same cells. Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum inhibited particle translocation by 51.8%. Of the bioactive factors tested, only vasopressin produced a significant reduction in particle translocations (38%). This suggests that protein kinase C or calcium/calmodulin kinase could be involved in regulating particle transport.

    Notes: The dynein arms of ciliary doublet microtubules cause adjacent axonemal doublets to slide apart with fixed polarity. This suggests that there is a unique mechanochemistry to the dynein arm with unidirectional force generation in all active arms and also that not all arms are active at once during a ciliary beat. Negative stain and thin-section images of arms in axonemes treated with β, γ methylene adenosine triphosphate (AMP-PCP) show a consistent subunit construction where the globular head of the arm interacts with subfiber B of doublet N + 1. This interpretation differs from that provided by freeze etch and STEM interpretations of in situ arm construction and has implications for the mechanochemical cycle of the arm. A computer model of the arms in relation to other axonemal structures has been constructed to test these interpretations. Attachment of the head of the arm to subfiber B is directly demonstrable in splayed axonemes in AMP-PCP. About half of the doublets in an axoneme show such attachments, while half do not. This might imply that about half the doublets in an axoneme are active at any given instant and can be identified as such. This information may be useful in probing questions of how active arms differ biochemically from inactive arms and of how microtubule translocators in general become active.

    Notes: Several characteristics of the sliding disintegration of Tetrahymena ciliary axonemes were found by turbidimetric assay, the ATP-regenerating system, and quantitative determination of the ATP concentration. At ATP concentrations exceeding 40 μM, the response in terms of turbidity was biphasic and could be divided into three phases. The dependence of each phase on ATP concentration was examined. The time duration of phase 2 increased with ATP concentration. When the ATP concentration was kept constant by the ATP-regenerating system, consisting of pyruvate kinase and phosphoenol pyruvate, the time duration of phase 2 increased with the concentration of phosphoenol pyruvate. On examining the change in turbidity with decreasing ATP concentration, the transition from phase 2 to phase 3 was found to occur at an ATP concentration of 40 μM.Dark-field and electron microscopy indicated the sliding disintegration to be closely correlated with the degree of tubidity. At phase 1, one or two doublets extruded from most of the axonemes, and disintegration failed to progress during phase 2. At the transition point from phase 2 to 3, at about 40 μM, ATP, other doublets were noted to extrude from the axonemes one after the other, causing turbidity to be minimal by the end of phase 3.The ATP concentration dependence of stepwise sliding disintegration suggests that each axoneme may possess the ability to regulate doublet microtubule sliding at lower or higher concentrations of ATP. In response to local differences or gradients of ATP concentration along the axoneme, the axonemes may cause localized sliding of doublets, thus subsequently generating active bending movement.

    Notes: The Ca+2-sensitive actin-binding protein isolated from Dictyostelium discoideum, 30,000-D protein (Fechheimer and Taylor: J. Biol. Chem. 259:4514-4520, 1984;) has recently been localized in filipodia of substrate-adhered amoebae (Fechheimer: J. Cell Biol. 104:1539-1551, 1987). We have determined that this protein has a Mr of 34,000 daltons and is strictly colocalized with actin filaments in both substrate-attached Dictyostelium amoebae and cultured fibroblasts. 3T3 fibroblasts, as well as normal and virally transformed rat kidney fibroblasts (NRK) contain a 34-kilodalton (kD) protein that cross-reacts specifically with antibody to the Dictyostelium bundling protein. Mammalian 34-kD protein is colocalized with F-actin in stress fibers and the cortical cytoskeleton in substratadhered fibroblasts. In substrate-adhered vegetative Dictyostelium, F-actin and 34-kD protein are concentrated in regions of the cell cortex exhibiting filipodia and membrane ridges. Multiple filipodia formed after exposure to the chemoattractant folic acid stain intensely for 34-kD protein, implying participation in the assembly of actin bundles during filipod formation. The cortex of pseudopodia also contained high concentrations of bundling protein, but pseudopod interiors did not. In contrast to vegetative Dictyostelium, F-actin and 34-kD protein were not colocalized in cells that had progressed through the development cycle. In fruiting bodies, 34-kD protein was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy only in prespore cells, while F-actin appeared in stalk cells and spores.

    Notes: Triton X-100 insoluble neurofilament (NF) fractions were obtained from two parts of the stellate ganglion and the main giant axon. These were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cyclic assembly and disassembly, and electron microscopy. The NF fractions from the ganglion cell bodies (GCB) and from the part of the ganglion mainly consisting of axon initial segments (GIS) were of similar composition; neither contained detectable amounts of the 220 kda and high molecular weight ( 400 kda) NF subunits that were prominent in the axonal NF fraction. However, the GCB and GIS did contain large quantities of a set of 65 kda polypeptides that were minor constituents of the axonal NF fraction. The 65 kda-containing NF fraction from the ganglion could be cyclically disassembled and reassembled, but only under low salt conditions, in contrast to the high salt conditions used to cycle axonal NFs. A comparison of the peptide map of the 65 kda polypeptides with that of the 60 kda axonal NF subunit showed them to be different. These biochemical differences between the ganglionic and axonal NF fractions correlated with morphologic distinctions: ganglionic NFs were relatively smooth surfaced, whereas axonal NFs had long sidearms. Such observations support the hypothesis that the NF cytoskeleton of the neuron soma is different from that of the axon. Furthermore, the change from the somal form to the axonal form of NFs appears to occur in the region where the axon initial segment increases in diameter to become the axon proper.

    Notes: Nuclear rotation (NR) is typically measured as motion of nucleoli within nuclei of cells in vitro. This occurs in cycling cells. However, its observation in neurons arrested in interphase indicates that mechanisms related to mitosis are not a prerequisite. We have recently shown that NR occurs in three dimensions within the nuclear space, that it occurs within the space delineated by the outer nuclear membrane and that it includes chromatin domains in addition to nucleoli and have postulated that this motion of chromatin domains is related to changes in gene expression. We now show that exposure of dorsal root, sensory neurons in vitro to nerve growth factor (NGF) or to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), agents which alter gene expression, and to agents causing redistribution of calcium, such as EGTA and the calcium ionophore A23187, significantly alters NR. The NGF increased the mean rate of NR and did so at a time after exposure when activity of RNA polymerases have been shown to rise. Exposure to GABA resulted, within minutes, in shifts of the nucleolus within the three-dimensional space of the nucleus, associated in some neurons with significant, sigmoidal increases in the rate of NR. The calcium ionophore A23187 as well as chelation of extracellular calcium with EGTA similarly increased rates. Importantly, excess calcium, with EGTA remaining present, returned NR of all nucleoli to rates not different from controls. This indicates that the increase in NR seen with EGTA is specific to the chelation of calcium and not a nonspecific response to EGTA. It is difficult to link the action of agents which alter gene expression or transmembrane ion balance with changes in NR. Nevertheless, in support of our hypothesis, the results presented here show that agents known to alter gene expression, alter NR in a temporally coincident manner and that they do so, possibly, by calcium-dependent mechanisms.

    Notes: Free Ca2+ changes the curvature of epididymal rat sperm flagella in demembranated sperm models. The radius of curvature of the flagellar midpiece region was measured and found to be a continuous function of the free Ca2+ concentration. Below 10-7 M free Ca2+, the sperm flagella assumed a pronounced curvature in the same direction as the sperm head. The curvature reversed direction at 2.5 × 10-6 M Ca2+ to assume a tight, hook-like bend at concentrations of 10-5 to 10-4 M free Ca2+. Sodium vanadate at 2 × 10-6 M blocked flagellar motility, but did not inhibit the Ca2+-mediated change in curvature. Nickel ion at 0.2 mM and cadmium ion at 1 μM interfered with the transition and induced the low Ca2+ configuration of the flagellum. The forces that maintain the Ca2+-dependent curvature are locally produced, as dissection of the flagella into segments did not significantly alter the curvature of the excised portions. Irrespective of the induced pattern of curvature, the sperm exhibited coordinated, repetitive flagellar beating in the presence of ATP and cAMP. At 0.3 mM ATP the flagellar waves propagated along the principal piece while the level of free Ca2+ controlled the overall curvature. When Ca2+-treated sperm models with hooked midpieces were subjected to higher concentrations of ATP (1-5 mM), some cells exhibited a pattern of movement similar to hyperactivated motility in capacitated live sperm. This type of motility involved repetitive reversals of the Ca2+-induced bend in the midpiece, as well as waves propagated along the principal piece. The free Ca2+ available to the flagellum therefore appeared to modify both the pattern of motility and the flagellar curvature.

    Notes: Dictyostelium myosin was associated into dimers and small oligomers at very low ionic strength, filamentous at intermediate ionic strength, and monomeric in solution conditions of high ionic strength. These different associations were probed by fragmenting myosin with chymotrypsin, trypsin, or V-8 protease. All three proteases digested monomeric myosin giving rise to multiple fragments with a wide range of molecular weights. Filamentous myosin was not digested by the V-8 protease, was preferentially cleaved at a single site in the middle of the heavy chain by chymotrypsin, and was cleaved at several sites by trypsin. If the reaction was carried out in very low ionic strength, however, two of these proteases generated stable fragments of high molecular weight. Electron microscopic analysis of these stable fragments showed that tails were shorter than in intact myosin, indicating that the cleavage sites were in the rod portion of the molecule. Under the same conditions of enzymatic digestion, myosin that had been radio labeled in vivo with 32P was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. By comparing the state of phosphorylation and the size of the stable fragments, it was determined that the heavy chain phosphorylation site was located between 55 and 70 kD from the tip of the myosin tail, near a region where the tail displayed sharp bends.

    EGTA induces prolonged summed depolarizations in Mytilus gill coupled ciliated epithelial cells: Implications for the control of ciliary motility (1988)

    Notes: Abfrontal ciliated cells of Mytilus edulis gill beat when mechanically stimulated, a consequence of a Ca++-based generator potential and regenerative response. In contrast, the lateral ciliated epithelial cells arrest when stimulated, a consequence of a Ca++-based generator potential and a Na+/Ca++-based regenerative response. Iontophoretic injection of EGTA in abfrontal cells, followed by mechanical stimulation, results in a large, prolonged depolarization that returns to the resting level stepwise. It has been hypothesized that this phenomenon is caused by successive Ca++-dependent repolarizations in coupled cells, first in adjacent cells and then in the injected cell, in accord with relative EGTA loading. We have now demonstrated this same stepwise repolarization phenomenon in the Na+/Ca++-dependent lateral ciliated cells. In this case, each repolarization step is often preceded by a small spike. With either cell type, using two-electrode recording techniques, we can detect the stepwise repolarization in distant cells, proportionately decremented when the second (KCl) electrode is some distance from the injection (EGTA) electrode and stimulus. When force is applied between the electrodes and nearest the KCl electrode, a greater initial response is recorded from this electrode, presumably resulting from depolarization of its impaled cell, prolonged by EGTA diffusion through the intervening cell junctions. The subsequent repolarization steps are of approximately the same size, suggesting repolarization of cells between the two electrodes. These observations are consistent with the cell coupling/EGTA loading hypothesis and indicate that both cell types mediate repolarization through Ca++ and propagate ciliary beat or arrest through intracellular coupling.

    Notes: Wound healing in Swiss 3T3 cultures was investigated with video-enhanced contrast (VEC) microscopy. The formation of protrusions at the leading edge of cells along wounds was investigated in detail during the spreading stage, which usually lasted from 1 to 4 hr postwounding. Lamellipodia exhibited a continuous rearward, or centripetal, transport of a variety of cellular constituents at rates of ∼0.26 μm/sec from the leading edge. The lamellipodia were also the sites of lateral migration as well as extension and retraction of actin microspikes. Actin fibers oriented transversely to the direction of movement were also observed to transport centripetally at similar rates. These fibers may in part give rise to large actin fibers forming at the interface between the base of the lamellipodia and the lamellae. Beads 0.5 μm in diameter attached to the dorsal surfaces of lamellipodia also transported centripetally at rates of ∼0.21 μm/sec. Thus there is an apparent correlation between transport of a variety of structures within lamellipodia and with surface movements of lamellipodia.

    Notes: The amoeboflagellate transformation in Physarum polycephalum involves a series of dramatic changes in cell shape and motile behavior. This report describes the morphological and behavioral changes through which a synchronously transforming population of cells passes, stressing that, although there are a series of distinguishable stages, cells at all stages display striking plasticity. Our previous studies showed that amoeboflagellates transiently display a flattened motile extension - the ridge - that projects from a specific location on the cell surface and contains a laminar core densely packed with a series of crisscrossing arrays of actin microfilaments. Details are presented here concerning the movements of the ridge as well as the dynamics of ridge formation and disassembly in relation to other morphogenetic events of the transformation. The ridge forms at about the same time as transforming cells begin to elongate, propagates undulations parallel to the long axis of the cell as the transformation proceeds, and disassembles late in the transformation. Staining of fixed cells with the fluorescent probe rhodaminephalloidin shows that the actin of amoeboid cells is strikingly redistributed as the transformation proceeds. Amoeboflagellates contain most of the stainable actin in the ridge and in a ventral-posterior spot that may be a site of cell-substratum adhesion. These results provide additional insights into the possible functions of the ridge and the roles of actin during the amoeboflagellate transformation.

    Notes: The distribution of smooth muscle (SM) and non muscle myosins was compared with that of α-SM actin in various normal and pathological tissues and in cultured cells by means of indirect immunofluorescence using a monoclonal antibody specific for α-SM actin [anti-αsm-1, Skalli et al., 1986b] and two polyclonal antibodies raised against bovine aortic myosin (ABAM) and human platelet myosin (AHPM), respectively.In normal tissues ABAM stained vascular and parenchymal smooth muscle cells (SMC), myoepithelial cells and myoid cells of the testis in a pattern similar to that reported by other authors with antisera raised against non vascular SM myosin. Cells stained with ABAM were always positive for anti-αsm-1. In human and experimental atheromatous plaques, most cells were positive for AHPM; a variable proportion was also stained for ABAM plus anti-αsm-1. Myofibroblasts from rat granulation tissue, Dupuytren's nodule and stroma from breast carcinoma were constantly positive for AHPM and negative for ABAM; however, myofibroblasts from Dupuytren's nodule and breast carcinoma were anti-αsm-1 positive. Early primary cultures of rat aortic SMC were positive for ABAM and anti-αsm-1 and became negative for ABAM and positive for AHPM after a few days in culture. They remained positive for AHPM and anti-αsm-1 after passages; the staining of AHPM and anti-αsm-1 appeared to be colocalized along the same stress fibers.These results may be relevant for the understanding of SMC function and adaptation, and show that in non malignant SMC proliferation, α-SM actin represents a more general marker of SM origin than SM myosin.

    Notes: Centrosomes undergo cell cycle-dependent changes in shape and separations, changes that govern the organization of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is largely organized by the centrosome; however, this investigation explores the importance of cytoskeletal elements in directing centrosome shape. Since the sea urchin egg during fertilization and mitosis displays dramatic and synchronous changes in centrosome shape, the effects of cytoskeletal inhibitors on centrosome compaction, expansion, and separation were explored by the use of anticentrosome immunofluorescence microscopy. Centrosome expansion and separation was studied during two phases: the transition after sperm incorporation, when the compact sperm centrosome enlarges and the sperm aster develops, and from prometaphase to telophase, when the compact spindle poles enlarge. Compaction was investigated when the dispersed centrosome at interphase condenses into the two spindle poles at prometaphase. Although centrosome expansion and separation typically occur concurrently, β-mercaptoethanol results in centrosome separation independent of expansion. Microtubule inhibitors prevent centrosome expansion and separation, and expanded centrosomes collapse. Since pronuclear union is arrested by microtubule inhibitors, this treatment also affords the opportunity to explore the relative attractiveness of the male and female pronuclei for these centrosomal antigens. Both pronuclei acquire centrosomal material; though only the male centrosome is capable of organizing a functional bipolar mitotic apparatus at first division, the female centrosome nucleates a monaster. Microfilament inhibition (cytochalasin D) prevents centrosome separation but not expansion or compaction. These results demonstrate that as the centrosome shapes the cytoskeleton, the cytoskeleton alters centrosome shape.

    Notes: Motor responses of the frontal cirri of the ciliate Stylonychia were recorded at the axial view of the ciliary base with high-speed cinematography. Voltage-clamp applying sustained hyperpolarizing voltage steps was used to explore the properties of the ciliary cycle modulated by the membrane potential. Upon hyperpolarization between - 1 and - 13 mV, a previously inactive frontal cirrus reoriented from a neutral posture and started beating so that the axis of the beating cone of a proximal cirral segment assumed an orientation near 100° (proceeding counterclockwise from posterior = 0°) and inclination near 60° (0° = perpendicular to the cell surface). The major beating amplitude was limited to about 150°. Increasing hyperpolarization increased the spatial polarity of the cycle (ratio of major over minor amplitude, from 2 to 2.4). Rates of the power stroke increased with hyperpolarizations up to - 4 mV but were consistently smaller than those of the return stroke during the ciliary cycle (ratio: 0.4 to 0.6; = temporal polarity). Comparison of different hypothetical beat forms (0-shape, D-shape, and egg-shape) showed that the orientation-time data are the major determinants of the angular velocity and rate of reorientation of the cilium during the cycle. Geometric transformation of these data led to descriptions of the cycle of a proximal ciliary segment in terms of active sliding velocities and rates of unidirectional sliding translocation between identified doublets. Three voltage-sensitive functional parameters of the cilium - the inclination (which is noncyclic) and the rates of active sliding and sliding translocation (both of which are cyclic in nature) - are discussed as generating the spatial and temporal properties of the ciliary beat.

    Notes: Hyperosmotic sucrose treatment of metaphase PtK-1 cells has been shown to produce a reversible concentration-dependent effect on spindle elongation linked to a functional alteration in the connection of the chromosome to the spindle (Pover et al.: European Journal of Cell Biology 39:366-372, 1985). Spindle elongation, similar to that which occurs at anaphase B, is thought to be driven by the compression stored in the form of microtubule curvature in the nonkinetochore (nkMT) population of microtubules at metaphase (Snyder et al.: European Journal of Cell Biology 35:62-69, 1984 and 39:373-379, 1985). Addition of metabolic inhibitors to Ham's F-12 salts with deoxyglucose (D/F-12 medium) containing 0.4 M sucrose and 1 mM DNP does not within statistical error affect the rate and extent of sucrose-induced spindle elongation; rates and extents are 60-75% of normal anaphase B motions. Electron microscopic analysis of metaphase cells treated with D/F-12 medium and 0.4 M sucrose with 1 mM DNP demonstrates that spindle microtubules lose curvature and become straight in appearance, typical of microtubule organization in untreated anaphase cells. Sucrose-treated cells released into D/F-12 medium show a rapid reduction in spindle length; however, cells treated with either 0.4 M sucrose or 0.4 M sucrose and 1 mM DNP-containing D/F-12 medium and released into DNP-containing D/F-12 medium do not exhibit a significant reduction in spindle length. Electron microscopic analysis links changes in spindle length with microtubule/kinetochore associations. These data suggest that energy required for the initial phases of spindle elongation during anaphase is preloaded into the mitotic spindle by metaphase and does not require additional energy to be expressed as examined by sucrose-induced spindle elongation in the presence of metabolic inhibitors. Second, energy is required to make or maintain (or both) functional chromosome associations with the spindle as measured by reduction in spindle length following sucrose removal.

    Notes: Among the known regulatory proteins that are conformationally sensitive to the binding of calcium ions, calmodulin and troponin-C have the greatest primary sequence homology. This observation has led to the conclusion that the most accurate predicted molecular model of calmodulin would be based on the X-ray crystallographic coordinates of the highly refined structure of turkey skeletal troponin-C. This paper describes the structure of calmodulin built from such a premise. The resulting molecular model was subjected to conjugate gradient energy minimization to remove unacceptable intramolecular non-bonded contacts. In the analysis of the resulting structure, many features of calmodulin, including the detailed conformation of the Ca2+-binding loops, the amino- and carboxy-terminal hydrophobic patches of the Ca2+-bound form, and the several clusters of acidic residues can be reconciled with much of the previously published solution data. Calmodulin in missing the N-terminal helix characteristic of troponin-C. The deletion of three residues from the central helical linker (denoted D/E in troponin-D) shortens the molecule and changes the orientation of the two domains of calmodulin by 60° relative to those in troponin-C. The molecular model has been used to derive two possible binding sites for the antipsychotic drug trifluoperazine, a potent competitive inhibitor of calmodulin activity.

    Notes: The technique of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) has recently assumed an active role in obtaining information on structures of polypeptides, small proteins, sugars, and DNA fragments in solution. In order to generate spatial structures from the atom-atom distance information obtained by the NMR method, different procedures have been developed. Here we introduce a combined procedure of distance geometry (DG) and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations for generating 3D structures that are consistent with the NMR data set and have reasonable internal energies. We report the application of the combined procedure on the lac repressor DNA binding domain (headpiece) using a set of 169 NOE and 17 “hydrogen bond” distance constraints. Eight of ten structures generated by the distance geometry algorithm were refined within 10 ps MD simulation time to structures with low internal energies that satisfied the distance constraints.Although the combination of DG and MD was designed to combine the good sampling properties of the DG algorithm with an efficient method of lowering the internal energy of the molecule, we found that the MD algorithm contributes significantly to the sampling as well.

    Notes: The techniques of FTIR difference spectroscopy and site-directed mutagenesis have been combined to investigate the role of individual tyrosine side chains in the proton-pumping mechanism of bacteriorhodopsin (bR). For each of the 11 possible bR mutants containing a single Tyr→Phe substitution, difference spectra have been obtained for the bR→K and bR→M photoreactions. Only the Tyr-185→Phe mutation results in the disappearance of a set of bands that were previously shown to be due to protonation of a tryosinate during the br→K photoreaction [Rothschild et al.: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United states of America 83:347, (1986)]. The Tyr-185→Phe mutation also eliminates a set of bands in the bR→M difference spectrum associated with deprotonation of a Tyr; most of these bands (e.g., positive 1272-cm-1 peak) are completely unaffected by the other ten Tyr→Phe mutations. Thus, tyrosinate-185 gains a proton during the bR→K reaction and loses it again when M is formed. Our FTIR spectra also provide evidence that Tyr-185 interacts with the protonated Schiff base linkage of the retinal chromophore, since the negative C=NH+ stretch band shifts from 1640 cm-1 in the wild type to 1636 cm-1 in the Tyr-185→Phe mutant. A model that is consistent with these results is that Tyr-185 is normally ionized and serves as a counter-ion to the protonated Schiff base. The primary photoisomerization of the chromophore translocates the Schiff base away from Tyr-185, which raises the pKa of the latter group and results in its protonation.

    Notes: The structure of two prokaryotic ribosomal proteins, the carboxyterminal half of L7/L12 from Escherichia coli (L12CTF) and 1.30 from Bacilus Stearothermophilus display a remarkably similar fold in which alpaha-helices pack onto one side of an antiparallel, three-stranded, beta-pleated sheet. A detailed comparison of the structures by least-squares methods reveals that more than two-thirds of the alpha carbons can be superimposed with a root mean square distance of 2.33 Å. The principal difference is an extra alpha-helix in L12 CTF. The sequences of the proteins display a distinct conservation in regions which are crucial to the common fold, in particular the hydrophobic core. It is proposed that the similarity is a result of divergent evolution.

    Notes: Spin-labeled derivatives of the bee venom protein, melittin, were obtained by reacting on the average one of the four amino groups of the protein with succinimidyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-1-oxyl-3-carboxylate All 16 statistically possible reaction products with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 spin labels per protein were then separated in a single pass with reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. With the help of trypsin digestion and diode array detection it was possible to assign the primary structure of all 16 eluting fractions. All fractions with only one spin label per protein were purified for electron paramagnetic resonance measurement. The labeling sites cover different regions of the protein: one is at the N-terminus, one at lysine-7, and two are near the C-terminus at lysine-21 and lysine-23, respectively. This set of specifically labeled melittins was used to study the structure and dynamics of melittin in aqueous solutions and when bound to neutral or negatively charged membranes. In aqueous solution a reduction in rotational correlation time and appearance of spin-spin interaction was observed during salt-induced transition from a random coil monomer to a mostly α-helical retramer. Membrane binding to phospholipid bilayers in low or high ionic strength was reflected only in a further decrease in mobility. The absence of any spin interaction in the membrane-bound state suggests that melittin is monomeric under these conditions. All derivatives were able to detect these structural changes, but melittin labeled at the N-terminal amino group was especially valuable. Because of postulated intramolecular hydrogen bonding, this label reflects directly the motion of the entire protein or tetramer. Broadening experiments with chromium oxalate show that all labeled sites are at least partially exposed to the aqueous phase when melittin is bound to membranes. This suggests that an α-helical melittin monomer binds to membranes with its axis parallel to the membrane surface.

    Notes: The antitumor antibiotic protein mitomalcin, from the microorganism Streptomyces malayensis, has been purified to apparent homogenity and crystallized. The crystals belong to space group P212121 and have the following cell parameters : a=27.2 Å, b=34.1 Å, c=101.7 Å, and alpha;=β=γ=90°. These crystal properties are extremely similar to crystals of the antitumor protein neocarzinostatin (11.7 kilodaltons [kDa]) from Streptomyces carzinostaticus in spite of differing pH conditions for crystallizing the two proteins and an apparent difference in molecular weight is similar to that of neocarzinostatin. An amino acid composition analysis of mitomalcin indicates that some differences may exist between the two molecules, but a preliminary amino acid sequence analysis of the first 37 residues found no difference in the N-terminal region of the molecule.

    Unusual zymogen-processing properties of a mutated form of prochymosin (1988)

    Notes: Site-specific mutagenesis of the gene encoding bovine prochymosin was used to produce a mutated zymogen in which seven contiguous amino acids of the N-terminal propeptide had been deleted and an eighth residue had been substituted. This altered region spans the normal site of autocatalytic proteolysis that occurs at the same time as (enzymatic) activation of prochymosin at acidic pH. Activation of the mutated zymogen at pH 4.5 was extremely slow, and cleavage occurred at an unusual Ser-Lys bond in the prochymosin incubated at pH 2 generated the usual pseudochymosin by cleavage of the normal Phe-Leu bond, but at a rate severalfold slower than the authentic zymogen. These results indicate that even after deletion of seven of 42 amino acids of the propeptide the mutant protein could still assume a prochymosin (zymogen) structure, although these changes did result in striking differences in acid-catalyzed activation and processing reactions at one but not the other of the two processing sites of prochymosin.

    Notes: Methods that analyze protein circular dichroism (CD) spectra for fractions of secondary structure are evaluated for the plant protein crambin, which has a known high-resolution crystal structure. In addition, a two-step secondary structure prediction scheme is presented and used for the toxins homologous to crambin, shown by others to have secondary structures similar to crambin.The test of CD spectral analysis methods with the protein crambin employed two computer programs and several CD basis sets. Crambin's crystal structure, known to 0.945 Å resolution (Hendrickson, W.A., Teeter, M.M. Nature 290:107-113, 1981), allows accurate evaluation of results. Analysis with the protein spectra basis sets (Provencher, S. W., Glöckner, J. Biochemistry 20:33-37, 1981) as modified (Manavalan, P., Johnson, W. C., Jr. Anal. Biochem. 167:76-85, 1987) agreed most closely with crambin's crystal structure. This method was then applied to the CD spectra of the membrane-active toxins homologous to crambin (α1- and β-purothionin, phoratoxin A and B, an viscotoxin A3 and B).The new program SEQ (pronounced “seek”) was developed to assign the secondary structure along the protein chain in a hierarchical fashion and applied to the plant toxins. The method constrained the secondary structure fractions to those from CD analysis and combined standard statistical methods with amphipathic helix location.Both CD-arrived secondary structure percentages and sequence assignment indicate that the viscotoxins are structurally most similar to crambin. Purothionin's secondary structure was predicted to be fundamentally similar to crambin's with a difference at the start of the first helix. This assignment agreed with Raman and NMR analyses of Purothionin and lends validity to the method presented here. Differences from the NMR in the CD secondary structure fraction analysis for phoratoxin suggest interference in the CD from tryptophan residues.

    Notes: The structure of human erythrocytic carbonic anhydrase II has been refined by constrained and restrained structure-factor least-squares refinement at 2.0 Å resolution. The conventional crystallographic R value is 17.3%. Of 167 solvent molecules associated with the protein, four are buried and stabilize secondary structure elements. The zinc ion is ligated to three histidyl residues and one water molecule in a nearly tetrahedral geometry. In addition to the zinc-bound water, seven more water molecules are identified in the active site. Assuming that Glu-106 is deprotonated at pH 8.5, some of the hydrogen bond donor-acceptor relations in the active site can be assigned and are described here in detail. The Oγ1 atom of Thr-199 donates its proton to the Oε1 atom of Glu-106 and can function as a hydrogen bond acceptor only in additional hydrogen bonds.

    Notes: In the process of developing a high-sensitivity negative chemical ionization gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric assay for brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of quinolinic acid (QUIN, 2,3-pyridine dicarboxylic acid), (18O4)QUIN was prepared. Its properties as an internal standard were compared with those of the structural isomer 2,4-pyridine decarboxylic acid (2,4-PDC) previously used by others. All oxygen atoms in QUIN were labeled by heating in 3N HCl/(18O)water for 48 h at 80°C. Back-exchange of (18O4)QUIN was prevented during derivatization to an electron-capturing dihexafluoropropanol ester by using trifluoroacetylimidazole as catalyst instead of perfluroacyl anhydrides. When mixtures of QUIN and (18O4)QUIN and/or 2,4-PDC were followed through a procedure to isolate and quantify brain and CSF QUIN, the variability in the ratio of QUIN:2,4-PDC was greater than for QUIN:(18O)QUIN. We conclude that (18O)QUIN is the preferred internal standard in gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric quantification of brain and CSF QUIN, and that (18O)-labeled carboxylic acids may be esterified effectively without back-exchange using acylimidazole reagents.

    Notes: The 13C enrichment of the carboxyl carbon of leucine was measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry after conversion to CO2 by reaction with ninhydrin in a Vacutainer and cryogenic purification using the Finnigan MAT Breath Gas Analysis System designed for processing 13C breath test samples. The sources of error which arise with submicromole samples are examined and corrections provided for suboptimal mass spectrometer signals and contamination of the evolved CO2 with CO2 from the reaction medium. The main limitations to the accuracy and precision of the method are not instrumental but arise from the contamination with residual CO2 in the reaction medium, and this sets a lower limit of around 0.25 μmol leucine on the practical sample size. This is an improvement of about five-fold on the previous manual method of CO2 isolation.

    Notes: The fragmentation pathways of methyl abscisate and its 2E isomer in methane positive ion chemical ionization (PICI) and methane negative ion chemical ionization (NICI) mass spectrometry have been elucidated using isotopically labelled analogues. It is shown that in PICI the most abundant ions are formed by the loss of water, methanol, both methanol and water and of methyl formate. The PICI mass spectrum of methyl 2E abscisate differs significantly in that the loss of water is much less important. In NICI, the most abundant ions from methyl abscisate are due to the molecular anion, [M - H2O]- and [M - CH3OH]-. It is shown, however, that the methyl ester methyl is not lost in this last fragmentation. Two other significant ions contain the side chain and the ring of methyl abscisate, respectively. In contrast, the NICI mass spectrum of methyl 2E abscisate differs principally in showing an abundant loss of a hydrogen atom.

    Notes: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHAS) has been quantified in human blood serum by fast atom bombardment (FAB)/tandem mass spectrometry of immunoadsorption extracts. FAB of DHAS yielded abundant ions corresponding to the intact steroid sulphate; these were selected by a double-focusing mass spectrometer prior to collisionally activated decomposition in a quadrupole collision cell and mass analysis by a quadrupole mass filter. [HSO4]- (m/z 97) was the sole prominent daughter ion. For quantitative analyses the quadrupole mass filter was set to transmit m/z 97 and a narrow-range magnet scan yielded a spectrum of parents, including m/z 367 and 369, corresponding to DHAS and the (2H2)-analogue (used as internal standard), respectively. Serum concentrations by this procedure were in good agreement with data obtained by gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analyses of DHA heptafluorobutyrate, formed by direct derivatization of the steroid sulphate.

    Notes: The problem of reproducing electron capture negative ion mass spectra has been addressed by studying parameters that affect negative ion abundance on a Hewlett Packard 5985B mass spectrometer. Parameters affecting negative ion formation in the ion source, such as ion source temperature, pressure, sample concentration and electron energy, were studied in conjunction with the effect of lenses used to extract and transmit ions to the quadruples. From these experiments, it was found that, in addition to ion source temperature, the ion focus potential has the most dramatic effect on the abundance of molecular ions relative to fragment ions like Cl-. With proper control, it was found that the relative abundance of ions from decafluorotriphenylphosphine could be reproduced over a period of one year.

    Notes: The analysis of extracts from the South American plant Justicia pectoralis Jacq. permitted the identification, among other compounds, of coumarin, dihydrocoumarin, umbelliferone and 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS); the acids and phenolic compounds were derivatized with diazomethane. GC/MS of simple coumarins, phenylpropionic acids and their hydroxylated isomers was performed after derivatization through methylation and trimethylsilylation; these results may be useful for the identification and quantification of these compounds in other biological materials.

    Notes: The fast atom bombardment mass spectra of 24 α-amino acids have been studied. These include the mass spectra as well as the metastable ion MI and collisional activation CA spectra of [M + H]+ and [M - H]- ions. The extent of the common neutral losses as NH3, H2O and CO2H2 in the positive ion spectra is governed by the nature of the side chain. The relationship between the fragmentation behaviour of the negative ions and the presence of particular functional groups is less obvious. Mixtures of amino acids in glycerol show pronounced surface effects.

    Notes: A conventional bore liquid chromatograph has been interfaced to quadrupole and magnetic sector mass spectrometers configured for fast atom bombardment ionization via a continuous flow FAB probe. It is shown that post-column addition of FAB matrix and in-line ultraviolet detection facilities do not significantly compromise chromatographic integrity and that high quality mass spectra are obtainable from such FAB LC/MS studies.

    Rapid identification of drug metabolites with tandem mass spectrometry (1988)

    Notes: A method which involves the use of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the identification of drug metabolites has been demonstrated with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method is based on the fact that metabolites usually retain various substructures of the original drug molecule. MS/MS is capable of rapidly identifying molecules with characteristic substructures without prior separation. It is shown that this method makes it possible to postulate possible drug metabolite structures rapidly and systematically without the use of standards. The MS/MS method, as it was applied to the identification of the metabolites of a new antiepileptic drug, zonisamide, is discussed. In this case it was possible to identify isomeric metabolites due to their differences in vaporization times off the probe and their different daughter spectra. The complementary uses of the neutral loss and parent scans for the determination of the site of metabolism is demonstrated. A new figure of merit, the limit of identification, is introduced. The amount of the epoxide metabolite of carbamazepine necessary for its reliable identification in urine was shown to be 0.4 ng/μl. The application of various techniques to confirm preliminary findings with this MS/MS method are described.

    Notes: Self-chemical ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectra are reported for bases, nucleosides, and alkylated and exocyclic adducts of bases and nucleosides. The technique always produces a protonated molecular ion and in the majority of cases this is a single, intense peak. Analysis of a base mixture and a nucleoside mixture demonstrates the technique as an excellent method to identify the constituent compounds qualitatively. The high resolution capabilities and tandem mass spectrometric techniques (msn) in FT-ICR are discussed with respect to developing the technique as a future method to identify and characterize nucleic acid constituents, specifically adducts.

    Notes: Nucleotides of the structure P1,Pn-di(adenosine-5′)-n-phosphate (n = di- through penta-) in the form of salts, and P1,P4-di(guanosine-5′)tetraphosphate sodium salt have been analyzed by fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry. A 0.2 molar solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid in glycerol has been evaluated as a matrix. In this matrix, the metal ions of the nucleotide salts are readily exchanged for protons, resulting in a simple spectrum with only one peak in the molecular ion region corresponding to the free phosphoric acid of the nucleotide plus or minus a proton (positive or negative mode), instead of the multiplicity of peaks arising from a series of metal and matrix adduct ions found with glycerol as matrix. The detection limit for analytes using this matrix is improved by a factor of ten compared to glycerol alone. It appears that the high acidity and the surfactant properties of p-toluenesulfonic acid both contribute to this result. Useful spectra are obtained from 250 ng of each of the above mentioned nucleotides, with the detection limit being somewhat lower in the positive mode. However, both positive and negative FAB spectra are useful and the results are complementary.

    Notes: The electron impact mass spectra of poly(trimethylsiloxy) derivatives of polyenic long-chain carboxylic acids containing a conjugated diene unit clearly locate all double bonds. Abundant, diagnostic fragment ions arise from cleavage of the bonds at the positions of the original double bonds, combined with loss of a molecule of trimethylsilanol for every two vicinal trimethylsiloxy groups, with the exception of similar ions formed by rupture of an original conjugated double bond and containing the other conjugated double bond, which are weak or absent. The method was applied to several alkadienoic, alkatrienoic and alkatetraenoic acids containing a conjugated diene unit.

    Notes: Long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) can easily be converted on a microgram scale to the corresponding 2-alkenyl-4,4-dimethyloxazolines by condensation with 2-amino-2-methylpropanol (AMP). These modified molecules with a ‘hidden’ carboxyl group have been proved to be a class of useful derivatives for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of UFA mixtures. While possessing very good GC characteristics, the title compounds show regular, well-recognizable diagnostic ion peaks of the double bond position in the chain. Detailed description of the method as well as electron impact (E1) mass spectra of derivatives resulting from mono-, di and polyenoic (maximally containing six double bonds) acids are presented.

    Notes: A stable isotope assay for the quantification of debrisoquine (1) and its major urinary metabolite 4-hydroxydebrisoquine (2) is described. The method consists of extractive derivatization of 1 and 2 by use of 1,3-diketones, chiral derivatization of the 4-hydroxy group of 2, and gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry in the presence of deuterated analogues of 1 and 2. In comparison with synthetic R-(-)-2 and S-(+)-2 it is shown that in vivo benzylic 4-hydroxylation of 1 is highly stereoselective, leading predominantly to S-(+)-4-hydroxydebrisoquine (enantiomeric excess ≥90%).

    Notes: A method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace amounts of quaternary organoarsenicals such as arsenocholine and acetylarsenocholine has been developed. The method is based on pyrolysis, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and use of deuterium-labelled internal standards. Arsenocholine and acetylarsenocholine have been estimated in fish from arsenic-polluted brackish water and compared with the same species of fish from unpolluted water. The investigation also includes some fish and crustacea from marine water. The presence of arsenocholine and acetylarsenocholine in different aquatic organisms indicate the existence of a general metabolic pathway for these compounds in aquatic ecosystems.

    Notes: A series of 35 steroid conjugates (sulfates and glucuronides) and bile salts were investigated by using fast atom bombardment and tandem mass spectrometry. Collisional activation of the [M - H]- anions of sulfate conjugates and bile salts predominantly yields fragment ions arising by reactions occurring remote from the charge site. These reactions are sometimes sensitive to differences in stereochemistry at positions remote from the charge site and are useful for positional isomer differentiation. On the other hand, collisional activation of the [M - H]- anions of the glucouronide conjugates leads primarily to charge-driven fragementations.

Collisionally activated decomposition mass spectra of the [C(12)-C(20)]+ ion of TxB2 and 2,3-dinor-TxB2 show an intense but not specific daughter ion, whereas the collison-induced dissociation mass spectrum of the [M - (C(16)-C(20)]+ ion of 11-dehydro-TxB2 results in the formation of numerous daughter ions.

    Notes: Steviol (ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid), the aglycone of various plant-derived glycoside sweeteners consumed by human populations, is known to be mutagenic toward Salmonella typhimurium strain TM677 when metabolically activated using a 9000 × g supernatant fraction derived from the liver of Aroclor 1254-pretreated rats. Mass spectral analysis of this diterpenoid and some analogs revealed characteristic patterns reflecting differential stereochemistry at the C/D rings and variations in the nature of the substituents present. Such information has been used to help identify several in vitro metabolites of steviol in conditions known to produce a mutagenic response, when analyzed by human populations, is known to be mutagenic toward Salmonella typhimurium strain TM677 when metabolically be allylic oxidation and epoxidation. 15-Oxosteviol, a product of oxidation of the major steviol metabolite, 15α-hydroxysteviol, was found to be a direct-acting mutagen.

It involves: (1) isolation of the compounds by solvent or solid-phase extraction; (2) conversion into trimethylsilyl (TMS) or TMS-oxime derivatives; (3) GC/FID analysis on SE-52 and OV-1701 capillary columns; (4) tentative identification by comparing the methylene unit (MU) values on both columns with a user-built library of reference compounds; (5) quantitative evaluation of the excretion profile; and (6) analysis by GC/MS of samples with an abnormal profile using an automated peak identification programme.

    Notes: New telechelic ionomers with zinc and sodium sulfate salt terminal groups on hydrogenated polybutadiene (HPB) backbones (I) were prepared from hydroxyl-terminated hydrogenated polybutadiene (HTHPB) of three different molecular weights (1350, 2100, and 3200 g/mol). Quantitative acid-base titration, elemental analysis, and NMR spectroscopy were used to verify the structure, and further characterization included differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and solution viscometry. The DSC results indicated that the ionomers are free of impurities within the limit of the resolution of the method. Glass transition temperatures determined by DSC indicated that the elevation in glass transition temperature by ionic crosslinking was most strongly dependent on the molecular weight of the backbone of the telechelic ionomer. The solution viscometry results showed that the sulfation reaction did not cause either covalent crosslinking or chain scission. Furthermore, the solubility characteristics of the sulfate-terminated hydrogenated polybutadiene (STHPB) oligomers were shifted towards a preference for polar solvents by the presence of salt groups. The lower molecular weight ionomers of the series showed polyelectrolyte-like extension at very dilute concentrations in polar solvents. The onset of polymer gelation in hexane was observed for the ionomers which had the highest molecular weight backbones.

    Notes: Latexes stabilized by poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (polyNIPAM) were prepared by polymerizing NIPAM in the presence of polystyrene and polystyrene-butadiene latex or by styrene emulsion polymerization in the presence of NIPAM. In 0.01 M CaCl2 polyNIPAM stabilized latexes exhibited critical flocculation temperatures in the range 32-35°C, which is approximately equal to the lower critical solution temperature of polyNIPAM in water. Partial substitution of NIPAM with some acrylamide (AM) gave higher flocculation temperatures. Coagulation studies with cleaned latex indicated that the polyNIPAM or polyNIPAM-co-AM polymer chains were anchored to the latex particle surfaces.

    Notes: Copolymers of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene that contain small amounts of units derived from perfluorohexylethylene show improved resistance of thermal stress cracking. This is a consequence of effects of these units on structural parameters of both the crystalline and amorphous phases. Those of the crystalline phase entail growth and organization of lamellae, whereas those of the amorphous phase are related to conformation and packing of polymer chains. The crystalline phase consists exclusively of alternately arranged units of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. The amorphous phase is characterized by chain segments composed of randomly distributed units derived from ethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, pairs of these two units, and units derived from perfluorohexylethylene.

    Notes: Natural rubber was isomerized by two methods that involved either dehydrobromination of hydrobrominated natural rubber or heating natural rubber with butadiene sulfone. The 13C-NMR spectra of the methylene region of isomerized natural rubber was interpreted in terms of dyad arrangements for which assignments were made by calculating chemical shifts according to three different published methods. One method [Gronski, Murayama, Cantow, and Miyamoto, Polymer, 17, 358 (1976)] gave the best overall agreement with the experimental chemical shifts; another [Sato, Ono, and Tanaka, Polymer, 18, 580 (1977)] was better for C-1 and C-3 methylene carbon atoms; and still another [Khatchaturov, Dolinsky, Prozenko, Abramenko, and Kormer, Polymer 18, 871 (1977)] gave results which deviated considerably from the other methods. From 13C-NMR intensity measurements it was shown that the elimination of HBr from hydrobrominated natural rubber occurred by a random process. Contrary to literature reports, it was found that the sulphur dioxide catalyzed isomerization of natural rubber was accompanied by a significant amount of double bond migration; a possible reaction scheme was proposed.

    Notes: Polymeric arylantimony(V) oxides [poly(ArSbO2), Ar = phenyl, p-chlorophenyl (CPh), and p-methylphenyl (Tol)] were employed as catalysts for the polymerization of oxirane [ethylene oxide (EO)] and also substituted oxiranes [propylene oxide (PO), 1,2-butylene oxide (BO), and epichlorohydrin (ECH)]. The polymerization of EO by ArSbO2s proceeded 3-60 times faster than that by the other organoantimony and -tin compounds such as triphenylstibine oxide (Ph3SbO) and arenestannoic acids (ArSnO2H), respectively. Apparent activation energy for the polymerization of EO was estimated as 13.7, 13.3, and 13.6 kcal/mol for PhSbO2, TolSbO2, and CPhSbO2, respectively. The results of the polymerization as well as 1H-, 13C-, and 17O-NMR spectroscopy suggested that the polymerization was initiated by ArSbO2 or Ar2Sb2O4 fragments, which was derived from a nucleophilc solvation of the polymeric ArSbO2 by oxiranes in situ.

    Notes: The double bonds of natural rubber latex (stabilized by a nonionic surfactant) were reacted with an approximately equimolar amount of performic acid at room temperature with a limited amount of formic acid present. Product analysis by 1H-NMR during the course of the reaction showed that 69-90% epoxidation occurred before the advent of ring opening and ring expansion to produce furanized rubber; hence the rate of epoxidation was greater than the rate of furanization. Indeed, at lower concentrations of formic acid and rubber latex, epoxidation occurred to 90% and furanization was prevented; it was subsequently brought about by the addition of a catalytic amount of orthophosphoric acid. Increased formic acid concentration caused early coagulation of the modified rubber latex. By 1H- and 13C-NMR, it was found that the furanized rubber probably consisted of tetrahydrofuran rings linked together by C—C bonds at positions adjacent to the hetero atom and contained a terminal hydroxy group. The number average sequence length was 2-9, but only the sample with an average sequence length of 9 was effective as a cation binder.

    Notes: A number of derivatives of ω-alkenoates were synthesized in preparation for the synthesis of functional polymers based on α-olefins. For the preparation of most of the methyl esters, the regular esterification of ω-alkenoic acids, specifically 10-undecenoic acid with methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst, was most effective. For the preparation of the tert-butyl- and 2-ethylhexyl esters of 10-undecenoic acid, the acid chloride route was found to be most convenient, whereas for the preparation of the corresponding esters of 5-hexenoic acid, our method of choice was the synthesis via the imidazolyl derivative of the acid. 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl 10-undecenoate and the 2,2-dimethyloxazolidine derivative of 10-undecenoic acid were prepared from the acid and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol or 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol with p-toluene sulfonic acid as the catalyst. Esters of phenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, and 2,6-diphenylphenol were synthesized from 3-butenoic and 10-undecenoic acid with trifluoroacetic anhydride.

    Notes: Aromatic polyamides were prepared from systematically halogenated terephthalic acids with hexamethylene diamine, piperazine, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylether and p-phenylene diamine by interfacial or low temperature solution polycondensation. The halogenated terephthalic acids used have mono-, di-, or tetra-substituted fluorine, chlorine, or bromine atoms on the benzene ring. The nonhalogenated terephthalic acid was also used for the comparison. The effects of halogen substitution on the benzene ring on the synthesis and some properties of polymers were examined. Reduced specific viscosity decreased in the order F 〉 Cl 〉 Br by halogen substitution. The incorporation of halogen substituents on the ring led to a decrease of crystallinity and fluoro-substituents hindered the crystallization more strongly. The melting point (Tm) decreased in the order F 〉 Cl 〉 Br by mono-substitution, and Br 〉 Cl 〉 F by di-and tetra-substitution. The change of Tm caused by the difference of the number of halogen substituents differed depending on the rigidity of polymer chains. The flame-retardancy estimated by thermogravimetry, self-ignition, and flash-ignition test increased with increasing halogen content of the polymers. Solubility increased remarkably by halogen substitution. The peak temperature of tan δ decreased by halogen substitution. Some discussion was made on these effects of halogen substitution.

    Notes: The electro-initiated polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by the anodic oxidation of an aqueous acid solution (80% HOAc + 20% H2O) containing Mn(OAc)2 · 4H2O/CNCH2COOH has been investigated in the 30-40°C temperature range. The kinetics and mechanism of the process has been investigated as a function of variables and a suitable mechanism proposed. From the experimental observations the rate of polymerization is seen to be proportional to [An]1.5I0.5[Mn+2]0.5 and [CAA]0.5. The rate of polymerization gradually decreases at a higher applied current. The rate was independent of [CAA]0.5. The rate of polymerization gradually decreases at a higher applied current. The rate was independent of CAA at high concentration. The average degrees of polymerization (Pn) increases with increasing AN and decreasing [CAA], [Mn+2] and applied current, I. The initiation is due to the anodic oxidation of Mn+2-CNCH2COOH complex. Both the initiation of polymerization by the primary radical, viz., CN—CḢ—COOH as well as the oxidation of the primary radical at the electrode are equally significant reactions and neither can be neglected in comparison with the other. Predominant mutual termination accounts for all the observed data.

The polymerization kinetics of both the monomers followed the same mechanism, viz., initiation by primary radical and termination by Mn3+-thiodiglycolic acid complex. The rate coefficients ki/k0 and kp/kt were related to the monomer reactivity and polymer radical reactivity, respectively. It was observed that both monomer reactivity and polymer radical reactivity followed the same order, viz., EA 〉 MAA. The polymer radical reactivity varied inversely with the Q values of the monomers.

    Notes: Diepoxides and in-chain carbonate groups react readily in the presence of quarternary ammonium salts, although reaction is not observed without this catalyst. Two moles of epoxide react with each mole of carbonate. When diepoxides and polycarbonates are reacted, a three-dimensional network of chains crosslinked with carbonate groups is produced; the crosslink density is controlled by adjusting the epoxy/carbonate ratio. Tertiary amines and alkoxides also catalyze the epoxy/carbonate reaction, but these have the undesirable attribute of promoting epoxy polymerization. The presence of oligocarbonates accelerates the epoxy-amine reaction.

    Notes: The octameric oligomers of 1-(N-substituted-carbamoyl)-aziridine, i.e., N-ureanized-oligo-ethylenimines, form Cu(II) complexes. When the N-substituents are phenyl(1, 3), methyl(2), and p-tolyl(4) groups, the main portions of the Cu(II)-complexes are binuclear. The binuclear oligomer-Cu(II) complexes showed characteristic properties of photo-reduction of Cu(II) species, giving rise to stable yellow Cu(I) species. The ease of photo reduction strongly depends on the oligomer structures, especially on the nature of the pendant-urea groups, i.e., 4 〉 1,3 〉 2. In the series of aromatic type urea-oligomers, highly stable photo-radicals were observed in ESR. By using an optically active oligomer (3) the molecular requirements for these characteristic properties were investigated with circular dichroism and cyclic voltammometry. And one of the plausible structures was deduced as the model of binuclear Cu(II) sites surrounded by oligomeric environments.

    Notes: The copolymerizations of phenyl-4′-vinylphenylbutadiyne (PVPB) with styrene and methyl methacrylate were carried out under various conditions. PVPB was more readily incorporated in copolymerization than the comonomers, but the diacetylenic group of PVPB interacted with the propagating radical, decreasing the polymerization rate and the molecular weight of copolymer. When the polymerization system became very viscous, crosslinking took place giving light green luminescent gels. The thermal behaviors of copolymers were also studied.

    Notes: Vinylbenzyl acetate was synthesized in yields greater than 80% via the reaction of vinylbenzyl chloride with potassium acetate. Radical copolymerization of the monomer with styrene and methylmethacrylate were studied at 60°C. Reactivity ratios determined from FT-IR analysis of low conversion copolymerizations with styrene (M1) were r1 = 0.78 ± 0.07 and r2 = 1.33 ± 0.13. Polymers and copolymers of vinylbenzyl acetate were found to completely hydrolyze in dioxane/water/base solution to yield hydroxymethyl functionality. Size exclusion chromatography studies indicated that the hydrolysis proceeded without crosslinking. This procedure is a useful method for the introduction of hydroxyl functionality on polymers and avoids crosslinking problems common in previously reported methods.

    Notes: A procedure for the preparation of new block copolymers composed of a hydrophobic block of polystyrene, a hydrophilic spacer-block of poly(ethylene oxide) and a bioactive block of heparin was investigated. Polystyrene with one amino group per chain was synthesized by free radical oligomerization of styrene in dimethylformamide, using 2-aminoethanethiol as a chain transfer agent. This amino group was used in the coupling reaction with amino-telechelic poly(ethylene oxide) to produce an AB type diblock copolymer with one amino group per polystyrene (PSt)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chain. The amino-semitelechelic oligo-styrene was converted into the isocyanate-semitelechelic oligo-styrene using toluene 2,4-diisocyanate and subsequent coupling with H2N-PEO-NH2 afforded AB type block copolymers with terminal amino groups. The coupling of PSt-PEO-NH2 with heparin was performed in a DMF-H2O mixture, first by activating the heparin carboxylic groups with EDC at pH 5.1-5.2 and subsequently reacting the activated carboxylic groups with the amino groups of the PSt-PEO-NH2 at pH 7.5. Depending on the molecular weights of the diblock copolymer used 25-29% w/w heparin was incorporated. These polymers will be further evaluated for their blood-compatibility.

    Notes: In order to obtain polysiloxanes capable of forming a film, the preparation and properties of allyldimethylsilylated silicic acid was investigated. The reaction in variable molar ratios of allyldimethylchlorosilane to silicic acid gave partially silylated silicic acids with different degrees of silylation. They provided not only fibrous polysiloxanes but also films from concentrated polymer solutions. Spinnability and film formation depended on the solvent, degree of silylation, molecular weight, and allyl group.

    Notes: Supports were obtained by the interaction of C4H9MgCl with the reaction mixture of AlCl3 and CH3Si(OC2H5)3 or Si(OC2H5)4 (Mg/Al/Si = 2/1/1). With the combination of Al(C2H5)3 and methyl-p-toluate, immobilized titanium catalysts prepared by the treatment of the supports with TiCl4 and ethylbenzoate showed extraordinary high activity and stereoregularity in the polymerization of propylene.1 By the study of the reaction of AlCl3 with CH3Si(OC2H5)3, the elemental analysis and powder x-ray diffractometric measurements of the supports, it was found that the supports comprised of Cl, Mg, Al, and Si atoms, OC2H5 groups, C4H9 groups, and ethers, and that they were amorphous solids to the extent that the x-ray diffraction peak assigned to the 003 plane in MgCl2 crystals completely disappeared.

    Notes: The effect of various substituted amines on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by ferric laurate - amine as the initiator system has been studied in carbon tetrachloride medium at 60°C. Amines used are n-butyl amine, di-n-butyl amine. The rate of polymerization is found to follow the order: tertiary 〉 secondary 〉 primary amine. From the detailed kinetic studies it was found that the overall polymerization rate can be expressed by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ R_p = \frac{{k_p }}{{k_t^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}(k_1 f)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} [{\rm Monomer}][{\rm Fe}^{3 + } ]^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} [{\rm Amine}]^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} $\end{document} The relative activity of the different amines has been found to be dependent on the relative electron-donating tendency of the substituents present in the amine. The mechanism of the polymerization is discussed on the basis of these results, and various kinetic constants are evaluated.

    Notes: A general method for estimating kinetic parameters in polymerization reactions using Monte Carlo simulation to represent the models of the reactions is developed. From a statistical point of view, the procedure is a Bayesian one in which a posterior probability density surface (PPDS) is calculated for points on a grid in the parameter space. A smoothing function is fitted to the PPDS, then a posterior probability region, which is similar to a confidence region, is calculated for the parameters. An application to a relatively trivial example, the Mayo-Lewis copolymerization model is shown in detail. Many other potential applications are suggested.

    Notes: A novel route for the thermal conversion of bis(phthalonitrile)monomers into metal-free phthalocyanine network polymers was investigated on the basis of a model study on the tetramerization reaction of 4-benzoylphthalonitrile and benzhydrol derivatives into metal-free phthalocyanine compounds. This procedure of conversion of phthalonitrile derivatives involved an oxidoreduction reaction initiated by the alcohol functional group of benzhydrol coreactant. The influence of molar ratio of phthalonitrile and benzhydrol functional groups, chemical environment of the benzhydrol reducing group has been studied by microcalorimetry and electronic spectroscopy. It was observed that the theoretical 4 : 1 phthalonitrile: benzhydrol molar ratio is respected and the reductive capacity of the benzhydrol group is increased by the electron withdrawing effect of its substituants.

    Notes: New phosphorus-containing homopolyurethanes were synthesized by reacting various diisocyanates such as tolylene diisocyanate, methylenebis(4-phenylisocyanate) and hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate with 1,4-bis[(dialkoxyphosphinyl)hydroxymethyl]benzene (BDAB). In addition, copolyurethanes containing approximately 3% phosphorus were prepared by copolymerization of these diisocyanates with an equimolar amount of BDAB - hydroquinone mixture. BDAB was less reactive towards diisocyanates than hydroquinone due to the electron-withdrawing inductive effect of the phosphinyl groups. The polymers synthesized were characterized by inherent viscosity measurements as well as by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic examination of polymers did not provide evidence for crosslinking by allophanate groups. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) studies of polymers revealed that the incorporation of BDAB in polyurethanes altered their thermal decomposition mode by increasing the exothermicity due to pyrolysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of polymers showed that the phosphorus-containing homopolyurethanes and copolyurethanes were thermally less stable than the corresponding common polyurethanes but afforded higher char yields. Determination of the limiting oxygen index (LOI) values showed that the phosphorus-containing copolyurethanes exhibited a higher fire resistance than that of common polyurethanes.

    Notes: Polar organic compounds either (1) inhibit the peroxide-catalyzed bulk homopolymerizations of both MAH and MMA at 80°C, (2) do not inhibit the polymerization of either MAH or MMA, or (3) inhibit the polymerization of MAH but not that of MMA. Compounds generally used as polymerization inhibitors or antioxidants inhibit the polymerizations of both MAH and MMA, presumably by interaction with peroxide decomposition products. Ketones, ethers, acids, esters, nitriles, imides, sulfones, sulfonates, sulfonamides, and acyl disulfides do not inhibit either MAH or MMA polymerization. However, amides, lactams, carbamates, amine oxides, phosphites, phosphates, phosphonates, phosphoramides, phosphine oxides, monosulfides, sulfoxides, aryl disulfides, and thiazyl disulfides inhibit the polymerization of MAH but not that of MMA. Inhibition presumably occurs as a result of electron transfer from the nitrogen-, phosphorous- or sulfur-containing electron donor compound to the MAH carbocation which is an intermediate in the polymerization of MAH.

    Notes: Polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) (bulk) promoted by a free radical source, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl acetophenone (DMPA), in the presence of 4,4′-di-(methylphenyl)iodonium hexafluorophosphate was studied in detail. Rate dependence of the polymerizing system on both DMPA and the iodonium salt was studied dilatometrically. Rate saturation for the iodonium salt was attributed to the formation of iodobenzene, which may react with propagating cations to form an iodonium salt. DMPA was shown to be an efficient transfer agent in the cationic polymerization of THF. A transfer constant for DMPA was estimated to be 2.8 and, whilst the precise details of the overall mechanism cannot be deduced from the present results, it may result in functionalized polytetrahydrofuran chains having photochemically active end groups.

    Notes: Batch emulsifier-free copolymerizations of styrene (S) and butyl acrylate (BuA) have been performed for a S/BuA weight ratio = 50/50 in the presence of two types of functional comonomers [methacrylic acid (MAA) at different pHs] or potassium sulfopropylmethacrylate (SPM) and two initiators [potassium persulfate or 4-4′azobiscyanopentanoic acid (AZO)]. The use of AZO/MAA system results in the formation of polymer particles with only surface carboxylic end groups. The particle size of the final latexes can be adjusted with the MAA concentration, provided the polymerization is carried out at pH 〉 6.5. However, the higher the MAA concentration, the sooner the polymerization levels off in conversion. With the K2S2O8/SPM system, particles bearing only sulfate and sulfonate groups are produced and the polymerization is complete. In that case, the particle size of the final latexes is smaller than with the previous system and 30% of the SPM is fixed on the particle surface, instead of 10% with MAA. Using SPM, a too high functional monomer concentration results in the latex destabilization caused by the formation of a large amount of polyelectrolytes. Kinetic studies indicate that most of the functional monomer is incorporated onto the particle surface during the last 30% conversion of the polymerization. A tentative explanation of such a behavior is discussed, based on the existence of two polymerization loci in the latex system.

The polyesters are thermally stable in the 365 to 450°C range. The decomposition temperature is higher for aromatic polyesters, lower for their aliphatic analogs. The polyesters are photoreactive and crosslink on irradiation with UV. The crosslinking mechanism is 2 + 2 cycloaddition. The polyesters form protonated complexes with CF3COOH which absorb at longer wavelengths and are also photoreactive. The quantum yield of the photoreaction and the relative photosensitivities of the polyesters and their complexes were determined.
