    Ribonuclease and Deoxyribonuclease Activities in Experimental and Human Tumors by the Histochemical Substrate Film Method* R. DAOUSTJANDHARUKOAMANOÕ (Laboratoires de Recherche, Institut du Cancer de Montréal,Hôpital Notre-Dame et Universitéde Montréal,Montréal,Canada) SUMMARY The ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities of 65 experimental and human tu mors (32 different types) have been examined by histochemical substrate film methods. A same general pattern was obtained for the distribution of both nucleases in the various types of experimental and human tumors. The connective tissue stroma and the necrotic regions of the tumor masses showed various levels of nuclease activity, whereas the neoplastic cells showed no demonstrable activity. It appears that deficien cies in ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities represent general properties of cancer cells. The possible significance of the losses of nuclease activities in carcinogenesis is dis cussed. Studies on nucleases by histochemical methods MATERIALS AND METHODS have shown that losses of ribonuclease (RNase) The experimental tumors used in the present and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activities take study were mostly rat, mouse, and hamster trans- place in rat liver during azo-dye carcinogenesis (1, plantable tumors (see Table 1).

    STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND SUBUNIT COMMUNICATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE MULTIENZYME COMPLEX By Jaeyoung Song A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Chemistry Written under the direction of Professor Frank Jordan and approved by Newark, New Jersey May, 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Structural Characterization and Subunit Communication of Escherichia coli Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Multienzyme Complex By Jaeyoung Song Thesis Director: Professor Frank Jordan The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDHc) from Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the best characterized of the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes. The complex plays a role as catalyst for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Coenzyme A (acetylCoA) by three enzyme components in the complex. The complex is comprised of 24 copies of the dimeric pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1ec; 99,474 Da), a cubic core of 24 copies of dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2ec; 65,959 Da), and 12 copies of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3ec; 50,554 Da) (1-3). The crystal structure of the E. coli pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 subunit (E1ec) has been deterimined, and there were three missing regions (residues 1-55, 401-413, and 541-557) remaining absent in the model due to high flexibilities of these regions (4). Most bacterial pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes from either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria have E1 components with an 2 homodimeric quaternary structure. In a sequel to our previous publications (5-8), the first NMR study on the flexible regions of the E1 component from Escherichia coli and its biological relevance ii was presented.

    MAPPING THE 5'-TERMINAL NUCLEOTIDES OF THE DNA OF BACTERIOPHAGE X AND RELATED PHAGES* BY RAY WUt AND A. D. KAISER DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY, STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA Communicated by Arthur Kornberg, October 28, 1966 The two ends of a molecule of X DNA have a structure which enables them to join together to form circular monomers1-' or linear dimers, trimers, etc.' Many, if not all, temperate bacteriophages have cohesive ends including coliphages 480,4 21, 186, 424, 434,5 and P2.6 The thermal reversibility of cohesion1'7 and the response of the ends of X DNA to Escherichia coli DNA polymerase and exonuclease III8 suggest that each end has a short single strand, about 15 nucleotides long, which protrudes beyond a long double-stranded interior of about 50,000 nucleotide pairs. The single strand at one end is judged to be complementary to the single strand at the other end because cohesion occurs only between a "left" end and a "right" end.31 Figure 1 shows how a molecule with complementary single strands protruding from its ends can form a circular molecule by base-pairing between the two single strands. left half right holf' sus sus 31 HO I W) V oCO = heov4 Strand I i qht strand FIG.

Metabolic dysfunction can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, and various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds are also involved in the pathogenesis of PD. Although aerobic exercise was found to induce preservation or improvement in olfactory function in PD patients in a recent study, the exact underlying mechanism for this effect is not clear. We aimed to investigate the influence of an enriched environment (EE) on olfactory dysfunction especially via metabolic pathways related to detoxification enzymes. Eight-month-old transgenic (Tg) PD mice that overexpress human A53T a-synuclein (a-syn) were randomly allocated to an EE or standard conditions for 2 mo. The buried food test showed that EE group had significantly improved olfactory function compared to the control group. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time quantitative PCR showed that expression of the detoxification enzymes––cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A member 2, para- oxonase 1, alcohol dehydrogenase 1, UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member A1 complex locus, aldehyde oxidase homolog 2,and aldehyde glutathione peroxidase 6––was significantly increased in the olfactory bulb (OB) of the PD control group, but these enzymes were normalized in the EE group.

  • Polyamines Mitigate Antibiotic Inhibition of A.Actinomycetemcomitans Growth
    Polyamines Mitigate Antibiotic Inhibition of A.actinomycetemcomitans Growth THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Allan Wattimena Graduate Program in Dentistry The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Dr John Walters, Advisor Dr Purnima Kumar Dr Sara Palmer Dr Shareef Dabdoub Copyright by Allan Wattimena 2017 Abstract Polyamines are ubiquitous polycationic molecules that are present in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They are the breakdown products of amino acids and are important modulators of cell growth, stress and cell proliferation. Polyamines are present in higher concentrations in the periodontal pocket and may affect antibiotic resistance of bacterial biofilms. The effect of polyamines was investigated with amoxicillin (AMX), azithromycin (AZM) and doxycycline (DOX) on the growth of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) Y4 strain. Bacteria were grown in brain heart infusion broth under the following conditions: 1) A.a. only, 2) A.a. + antibiotic, 3) A.a. + antibiotic + polyamine mix (1.4mM putrescine, 0.4mM spermidine, 0.4mM spermine). Growth curve analysis, MIC determination and metatranscriptomic analysis were carried out. The presence of exogenous polyamines produced a small, but significant increase in growth of A.a. Polyamines mitigated the inhibitory effect of AMX, AZM and DOX on A.a. growth. Metatranscriptomic analysis revealed differing transcriptomic profiles when comparing AMX and AZM in the presence of polyamines. Polyamines produced a transient mitigation of AMX inhibition, but did not have a significant effect on gene transcription. Many gene transcription changes were seen when polyamines were in the presence of AZM.

CF results from mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, which leads to accumulation of thick and sticky mucus in the airways of people with CF, ultimately dampening immune clearance of potential respiratory pathogens.
