  abstract  = {Ca2+ dependent cell adhesion molecules (cadherins) are central for a variety of cell and tissue functions such as morphogenesis, epithelial and endothelial barrier formation, synaptic function and cellular signaling. Of paramount importance for cadherin function is their specific extracellular adhesive trans-interaction. Cadherins are embedded in a cellular environment of intracellular and extracellular regulators that modify cadherin binding in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. Most experimental approaches used for studying cadherin interaction however lack a physiological proof of principle mostly by not investigating cadherins in their physiological environment. In the present cumulative dissertation, experimental approaches were applied to characterize and modulate vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and desmocadherin functions in the (patho-)physiological contexts of endothelial permeability regulation and disturbance of epidermal barrier function, which is typical to the blistering skin disease pemphigus, respectively. Whereas VE-cadherin is a key regulator of the endothelial barrier that separates the blood compartment from the interstitial space of tissues, desmosomal cadherins are crucial for maintenance of epidermal integrity and separation of the external environment from the body's internal milieu. Cadherin functions were both investigated in cell-free and cell-based conditions: by using biophysical single molecule techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM), cadherin function could be investigated in conditions, where contributions of intracellular signaling were excluded. These experiments were, however, compared and combined with cell-based experiments in which cadherins of epidermal or endothelial cell cultures were probed by laser force microscopy (laser tweezers), fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and other techniques. The autoimmune blistering skin diseases pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are caused by autoantibodies directed against the extracellular domains of the desmosomal cadherins desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3, which are important for epidermal adhesion. The mechanism of autoantibody-induced cell dissociation (acantholysis) in pemphigus, however, is still not fully understood. For the first time, it is shown by AFM force spectroscopy that pemphigus autoantibodies directly inhibit Dsg3 adhesion by steric hindrance but do not inhibit adhesion of Dsg1. However, the full pathogenicity of the autoantibodies depended on cellular signaling processes, since autoantibodies targeting Dsg1 also resulted in loss of cadherin-mediated adhesion in cell-based experiments. However, two other signaling pathways that have been reported to be involved in pemphigus pathogenesis, i.e. epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-Src activation, were not found to be important in this context. Furthermore, peptide-based modulators of cadherin functions were generated for Dsg1/3 and VE-cadherin. By comparing Dsg1, Dsg3 and VE-cadherin sequences to published X-ray structures of cadherin trans-interactions, specific amino acid sequences of the binding pockets of these cadherins were identified. Peptide versions of these motifs were synthesized and the antagonistic functions of these "single peptides" were validated by AFM force spectroscopy as well as by cell-based assays. By linking two single peptides in tandem, stabilization of cadherin bonds because of by cross-bridge formation between trans-interacting cadherins was demonstrated. Protective effects of tandem peptides were shown by partly preventing pemphigus autoantibody-induced acantholysis, or in the case of VE-cadherin, by stabilizing endothelial barrier properties against barrier disrupting agents like the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and an inhibitory VE-cadherin antibody. Most importantly, VE-cadherin tandem peptides abolished microvascular hyperpermeability induced by the physiologic inflammatory agent tumor necrosis factor-α in the rat mesentery in vivo. Both classes of tandem peptides therefore can be considered as a starting point for the generation of potential therapeutic agents that might prevent cell dissociation in pemphigus and breakdown of the endothelial barrier under inflammatory conditions.},

  abstract  = {Fractionation of nucleic acids and their fragments with polyacrylamide gel has been widely applied in sequencing of nucleic acids. Although the conditions of electrophoresis for this purpose have previously been suggested. we have found that polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 5000 V (100 V/cm) is possible and effective. An apparatus consisting of a horizontal thermostated plate is used to remove the heat which was formed during the electrophoretic process. The techniques for loading samples on the horizontal thin gel and the procedure for high-voltage gel electrophoresis are described and illustrated by the fractionation of the spleen phosphodiesterase partial digest of tRNA¥~1 as well as by the RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase from E. coli with poly[d(A- T)j as template in the presence of "terminator," 3'-O-methyluridine 5'-triphosphate. This same technique was used for electrophoresis of oligonucleotides on acetylcellulose and was incorporated into a two-dimensional system which was demonstrated by fingerprinting of the guanylo-RNase digest of tRNAT'P from baker's yeast. In the third part of the article a simple technique for the electric trapping of nucleic acids or their fragments from a slab gel on a DEAE-paper sheet is presented.},

A polyadenyl sequence is missing at the 3'end of WCMV RNA. A study of the translation products of WCMV and F-PV RNAs in a oe11-free protein-synthesizing system derived from rabbit reticulocytes showed that polypeptides electrophoretically comigrating with a structural protein of either virus were synthesized alongside high-molecular-weight polypeptides (M\(_r\)\(\approx\) 180-150 kdaltons).},

  abstract  = {Primary structure is determined of an insertion of a clone isolated from the library of hypophyseal cDNA of cattle by hybridization with a probe specific for prolactin. Analysis of nucleotide sequences showed that in the process of cloning, reorganization occurred in structure of preprolactin cDNA, including an inversion of the 5'-terminal and deletion of the central section of cDNA. Nevertheless, from structure of cDNA, nucleotide sequences can be deduced of extended 5'- and 3'-terminal sections of preprolactin mRNA in cattle with lengths of 257 and 551 nucleotide residues, respectively. When these sequences are compared to those established previously, some differences were found in primary structure. The most important of them is the presence of an additional codon which codes alanine at the position (-22) of the signal peptide. It is suggested that heterogeneity of preprolactin mRNA of cattle in the section coding the signal peptide is the result of alternative splicing, as was shown for preprolactin mRNA in rats.},

Persistent virus preserved the original antigenicity as judged from reciprocal hemagglutination-inhibition or plaque reduction-neutralization tests with polyclonal antisera. Both original and persistent rubella viruses were thermoresistant (T 56° C) and sligthly temperature-sensitive. Clonal analysis revealed presence of ts-mutants among both original and persistent virus clones with different degrees of plating efficiency at 40°/34° C. RNA fingerprinting showed only minor changes in persistent rubella virus.},

  abstract  = {Kanadaptin ist ein Multidom{\"a}nenprotein, das in der Ratte in nahezu allen Geweben vorkommt und {\"u}ber kernimport- und kernexport-aktive Sequenzen verf{\"u}gt. Die kernimport-aktive Sequenz konnte der NLS1 (189RKRK) zugeordnet werden. Die Kernexportaktivit{\"a}t wird m{\"o}glicherweise durch eine Leucin-reiche Dom{\"a}ne (414LLQEPELELEAAV) vermittelt. Zus{\"a}tzlich ist Kanadaptin in Mitochondrien nachweisbar. In humanen Zellen wird eine Isoform gebildet, die {\"u}ber eine zus{\"a}tzliche aminoterminale FHA-Dom{\"a}ne verf{\"u}gt. Solche Proteine zeichnen sich u.a durch DNA-bindende Eigenschaften aus (Murakami and Okayama, 1995; Allen et al., 1994; Durocher and Jackson, 2002). Dies erkl{\"a}rt auch die nukle{\"a}re Retention von Kanadaptin nach Verlust Zellkernmembranintegrit{\"a}t (H{\"u}bner et al, 2002) F{\"u}r eine nukle{\"a}re Funktion spricht auch, dass infolge der Expression eines Kanadaptin-cDNA-Fragments eine unter diesen Umst{\"a}nden (d.h. infolge der Expression DNA-bindender/modifizierender Proteine) spezifische SOS-Antwort in E. coli ausgel{\"o}st werden kann (Perkins et al., 1999). Die Ergebnisse deuten somit eindeutig daraufhin, dass Kanadaptin an nukle{\"a}ren und/oder nukleins{\"a}ureabh{\"a}ngigen Prozessen beteiligt ist. In der Niere wurde mit Hilfe der in-situ-Hybridisierung Kanadaptin haupts{\"a}chlich in proximalen Tubuluszellen detektiert. Insgesamt scheint eine Interaktion zwischen Kanadaptin und kAE1 inzwischen immer unwahrscheinlicher. Schließlich ließ sich eine Interaktion zwischen Kanadaptin und kAE1 im Hefe-2-Hybrid-System nicht mehr reproduzieren (H{\"u}bner, pers{\"o}nliche Mitteilung) (Wongthida P. et al., 2006). Auch in embryonalen Nierenzellen (HEK293-Zellen) konnte keine Interaktion zwischen humanem Kanadaptin und kAE1 nachgewiesen werden (Kittanakom et al., 2004). Welche Funktionen Kanadaptin intrazellul{\"a}r aus{\"u}bt bleibt weiterhin enigmatisch und muss in zuk{\"u}nftigen Untersuchungen herausgefunden werden.},
