Die Feistk{\"a}fer Pimelia grossa, P. tenuicornis, der Mehlk{\"a}fer Tenebrio molitor, die Mistk{\"a}fer Geotrupes silvaticus und G. stercorarius konnen sich unter entsprechenden Bedingungen rein anemomenotaktisch orientieren (Abb. 1-8). Sie bevorzugen Laufwinkel, die in relativ enge Winkelbereiche rechts und links der beiden Grundrichtungen f{\"u}hren (Abb. 3, 4, 26). 2. Die Bevorzugung bestimmter Winkelgr{\"o}ßen andert sich bei Geotrupes nicht gesetzmig mit der Tageszeit, der Temperatur (im Bereich 18-28° C) oder dem F{\"u}tterungszustand (Abb. 8-11). 3. Die untere Grenze der Windst{\"a}rke, die eine menotaktische Einstellung erm{\"o}glicht, liegt f{\"u}r die Mistk{\"a}fer bei etwa 0,15 m/sec, f{\"u}r die Feistk{\"a}fer bei etwa 0,4 m/sec. Die obere Grenze befindet sich bei Geschwindigkeiten, die den K{\"a}fern ein Vorw{\"a}rtskommen unm{\"o}glich machen. 4. Bei der menotaktischen Einstellung wird nur die Reizrichtung nicht aber die Reizstarke bewertet (Abb. 13-15). 5. Die Kontinuitat des Luftstroms ist keine Voraussetzung f{\"u}r die anemomenotaktische Orientierung: Die K{\"a}fer orientieren sich auch nach kurzen Windst{\"o}ßen (Abb. 17, 19, 21). W{\"a}hrend der Windstille kommt es zu regelhaften Abweichungen von dem bei Wind eingehaltenen Kurs (Abb. 18). Das Ausmaß dieser Abweichungen wird nach h{\"a}ufigen Windunterbrechungen stark verringert (Abb. 20). 6. Gegen Turbulenzen des Luftstroms, wie sie {\"u}ber unebenem Untergrund entstehen, ist die Anemomenotaxis der K{\"a}fer nicht sehr anf{\"a}llig (Abb. 22). 7. Die Sinnesorgane, die dem intakten K{\"a}fer die Windrichtungsbestimmung erm{\"o}glichen, sprechen auf Bewegungen im Pedicellus-Flagellumgelenk an. Ein Verlust der Endkolben hat beim Mistk{\"a}fer keinen Einfluß auf die Richtungs- und Winkelgr{\"o}ßenwahl, auch die Streuung wird nicht signifikant gr{\"o}ßer. 2 Flagellenglieder pro Antenne erm{\"o}glichen bei Windgeschwindigkeiten um oder {\"u}ber 1 m/sec noch eine anemomenotaktische Orientierung (Tabelle 3). 8. Bei 3 Mistk{\"a}fern, deren F{\"u}hler 4 Wochen bzw. 4 Monate vor dem Versuch entfernt worden waren, konnte wieder eine Orientierung nach der Windrichtung nachgewiesen werden (Abb. 23, Tabelle 1). 9. Die Kafer konnen Laufwinkel intramodal vierdeutig transponieren (z.B. Abb. 28, 29). Am deutlichsten tritt diese F{\"a}higkeit bei Versuchsneulingen zutage, deren Laufe rein fluchtmotiviert sind: Sie w{\"a}hlen normalerweise denjenigen der 4 m{\"o}glichen Laufwinkel, der der Aufsetzrichtung am n{\"a}chsten liegt (vgl. Abb. 25, 26). 10. Die Existenz und die Wirkungsrichtung eines Drehkommandos, sowie die Beteiligung beider Grundorientierungen an der Anemomenotaxis werden nachgewiesen (Abb. 31). Die F{\"a}higkeit, eine gleichbleibende Drehkommandogr{\"o}ße (die nie zu einer st{\"a}rkeren Abweichung als 90° von einer Grundrichtung f{\"u}hren kann) mit verschiedenem Vorzeichen der Drehrichtung versehen zu konnen und die M{\"o}glichkeit zur Taxisumkehr (Abb. 32) erkl{\"a}ren die orientierungsphysiologische Seite des vierdeutigen intramodalen Transponierens. 11.

Bei der Anemomenotaxis arbeiten die Windrichtungen perzipierenden, paarigen Sinnesorgane der Antennen - vermutlich die Johnstonschen Organe - als Synergisten zusammen. Der Ausfall der f{\"u}r die Windrichtung spezifischen afferenten Meldungen eines F{\"u}hlers f{\"u}hrt zu einer Halbierung der Drehtendenzst{\"a}rke (Abb.I-ll). Es konnten keine Anhaltspunkte gefunden werden, die auf eine direkte zentrale Kompensation dieses Effektes hinweisen. Verschiedene Arten der Ausschaltung, totalc (Abb.2) oder teilweise (Abb. 4) Amputation (bei der der Pedicellus unverletzt bleibt) oder Blockierung des Pedicellus-Flagellumgelenks durch Lackierung (Abb.3), bewirken dieselben {\"A}nderungen im Orientierungsverhalten. 2. Der einzelne F{\"u}hler fungiert bei der Anemomenotaxis als "zweisinniger Lenker". Ein K{\"a}fer mit nur einem F{\"u}hler ist - nach einer gen{\"u}gend langen Erholungszeit - noch f{\"a}hig, die Windrichtung festzustellen und zu ihr eindeutige menotaktische Kurse zu steuern (vgl. z. B. Abb. 1, 9). Außerdem kann er sich wie ein intakter K{\"a}fer (Abb. 14) bei pl{\"o}tzlicher Anderung der Reizrichtung um den kleineren Winkelbetrag zu seiner Sollrichtung zur{\"u}ckdrehen (Abb. 15). 3. Zwischen Drehtendenzst{\"a}rke und Reizrichtung besteht nach den Ergebnissen der Ausschaltversuche eine Sinusfunktion. Gleichgroße Rechts- oder Linksabweichungen des K{\"a}fers von der positiven oder negativen Grundrichtung werden von rechtem und linkem F{\"u}hler mit der gleichen Drehtendenzst{\"a}rke bewertet (Abb. 13). Es ist deshalb naheliegend, anzunehmen, daß jeder F{\"u}hler bei der Reizrichtungsbewertung seinen Abweichungsbetrag von der n{\"a}chsten der beiden Grundstellungen mißt. In einer Grundstellung befindet sich der F{\"u}hler jeweils dann, wenn sich der K{\"a}fer genau gegen oder mit dem Wind eingestellt hat. 4. Afferente Drehtendenz und efferentes Drehkommando sind Dreherregungsgr{\"o}ßen, die sich bei Einstellung des Sollwinkels durch ihre antagonistische Wirkung aufheben. Halbierung der Drehtendenzst{\"a}rke durch Ausschaltung eines F{\"u}hlers f{\"u}hrt demnach erwartungsgem{\"a}ß zu einer Verdopplung der Drehkommandowirkung. Daraus und aus der Sinusf{\"o}rmigkeit der Drehtendenzst{\"a}rkenkurve ergibt sich, daß Drehkommandogr{\"o}ßen, die beim intakten K{\"a}fer die Einhaltung von Menotaxiswinkeln von > 30° zur Folge haben, von der halbierten Drehtendenz nicht mehr kompensiert werden k{\"o}nnen. Die K{\"a}fer k{\"o}nnen dann Dauerrotationen vermeiden, indem sie das Drehkommando soweit abschw{\"a}chen, daß es von der halbierten Drehtendenz wieder kompensiert wird (Abb. 8). 5. Standardabweichung und mittlere Laufwinkelgr{\"o}ße sind miteinander korreliert. Die Korrelation gilt in gleicher Weise f{\"u}r das intakte und das einseitig antennenamputierte Versuchstier. 6. Nach einer einseitigen F{\"u}hlerausschaltung bevorzugen Tenebrio molitor und Scaurus dubius anf{\"a}nglich Laufrichtungen zur Seite der intakten Antenne hin. Bei allen VT-Arten nimmt die Neigung zum intramodalen Winkeltransponieren nach F{\"u}hlerausschaltung sehr stark zu (Abb. 12). 7. Den Grundorientierungen - positive und negative Anemotaxis - liegt, wie auch der Menotaxis, kein tropotaktischer Mechanismus der F{\"u}hlerverschaltung zugrunde. Anemotaxis und Anemomenotaxis unterscheiden sich lediglich dadurch, daß bei letzterer ein efferentes Drehkommando die Sollrichtung verstellt. 8.

Minor nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic contaminations associated with the isolated nuclear envelopes were determined with electron microscopic morphometry and were found to be quantitatively negligible as far as their mass and nucleic acid content is concerned. The RNA content of the fractions was determined by direct phosphorus analysis after differential alkaline hydrolysis. Approximately 9\% of the total nuclear RNA of the mature Xenopus egg was found to be attached to the nuclear envelope. The nonmembranous elements of one pore complex contain 0.41 X 10- 16 g RNA.

In most cases the scorpions do not run necessarily with or against the wind, but rather maintain constant angles to the air current for anywhere from minutes to many hours. They are running anemomenotactically (ref. 1). Under identical conditions many species of beetles also orient themselves to air currents (refs. 2 to 4). The main problems to be solved in the study of anemomenotactic orientation are: (1) Which physical qualities of the air current have an influence on the anemomenotaxis? (2) With which sense organs do beetles and scorpions perceive wind directions? (3) Which physiological mechanism is the basis of anemomenotactic orientation? (4) What is the biological significance of anemomenotaxis in beetles and scorpions? With respect to these problems, more study has been done on beetles than on scorpions.

From determinations of the uridine triphosphate pool sizes and [3H]uridine uptake, phosphorylation, and incorporation into 28S and 18S rRNAs in vivo it was estimated that the rate of rRNA synthesis was about 0.01\% in previtellogenic oocytes and 13\% in mature oocytes when compared to midvitellogenesis. Spread preparations of nucleoli showed significant morphological changes in the transcriptional complexes. The total number of lateral fibrils, i.e., ribonucleoproteins containing the nascent rRNA precursor, were drastically decreased in stages of reduced synthetic activity. This indicates that rRNA synthesis is regulated primarily at the level of transcription. The resulting patterns of fibril coverage of the nucleolar chromatin axes revealed a marked heterogeneity. On the same nucleolar axis occurred matrix units that were completely devoid of lateral fibrils, matrix units that were almost fully covered with lateral fibrils, and various forms of matrix units with a range of lateral fibril densities intermediate between the two extremes.

The high local stability of the cylinders of nonmembranous pore complex material is emphasized. As progressive disintegration occurred in the membrane regions, a network of fibrils became apparent which interconnects the pore complexes and is distinguished from the pore complexassociated intranuclear fibrils. This network might correspond to an indistinct lamella, about 15 - 20 nm thick, located at the level of the inner nuclear membrane, which is recognized in thin sections to bridge the interpore distances. With all disintegration treatments a somewhat higher susceptibility of the outer nuclear membrane is notable, but a selective removal does not take place. Final stages of disintegration are generally characterized by the absence of identifiable, membrane- like structures. Analysis of detergent-treated nuclei and nuclear membrane fractions shows almost complete absence of lipid components but retention of significant amount of glycoproteins with a typical endomembrane-type carbohydrate pattern. Various alternative interpretations of these observations are discussed.

While typical nucleosomes were revealed with all the techniques for chromatin from the latter three cell system, no nucleosomes were identified in either the lampbrush chromosome structures or the nucleolar chromatin. Nucleosomal arrays were absent not only in maximally fibril-covered matrix units but also in fibril-free regions between transcriptional complexes, including the apparent spacer intercepts between different transcriptional units. Moreover, comparisons of the length of the repeating units of rDNA in the transcribed state with those determined in the isolated rDNA and with the lengths of the first stable product of rDNA transcription, the pre-rRNA, demonstrated that the transcribed rDNA was not significantly shortened and/or condensed but rather extended in the transcriptional units. Distinct granules of about nucleosomal size which were sometimes found in apparent spacer regions as well as within matrix units of reduced fibril density were shown not to represent nucleosomes since their number per spacer unit was not inversely correlated with the length of the specific unit and also on the basis of their resistance to treatment with the detergent Sarkosyl NL-30. It is possible to structurally distinguish between transcriptionally active chromatin in which the DNA is extended in a non-nucleosomal form of chromatin and condensed, inactive chromatin within the typical nucleosomal package. The characteristic extended structure of transcriptionally active chromatin is found not only in the transcribed genes but also in non-transcribed regions within or between ("spacer") transcriptional units as well as in transcriptional units that are untranscribed amidst transcribed ones and/or have been inactivated for relatively short time.

After circularization in vitro of this fragment a new plasmid, pBS161-l is generated, which can be used as a HindlII and EcoRI cloning vector in Bacillus suhtilis. Hybrid plasmids consisting of the E. coli plasmids pBR322, p WL 7 or pACl84 and different HindlII fragments of pBSI61 were constructed in vitro. Hybrids containing together with the E. coli plasmid the largest HindlII fragment of pBS161 can replicate in E. coli and B. sublilis. In E. coli only the replicon of the E. coli plasmid part is functioning whereas in B. suhtilis replication of the hybrid plasmid is under the control of the Bacillus replicon. The tetracycline resistance of the B. subtilis plasmid is expressed in E. coli, but several antibiotic resistances of the E. coli plasmids (ampicillin, kanamycin and chloramphenicol) are not expressed in B. suhtilis. The hybrid plasmids seem to be more unstable in B. subtilis than in E. coli.}, language = {en} } @article{FrankeScheer1978, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Morphology of transcriptional units at different states of activity}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-41363}, year = {1978}, abstract = {The morphology of two forms of transcription ally active chromatin, the nucleoli and the loops of lampbrush chromosomes, has been examined after fixation in situ or after isolation and dispersion of the material in media of low ionic strengths, using a variety of electron microscopic preparation techniques (e.g. spread preparations with positive or negative staining or without any staining at all, with bright and dark field illumination, with autoradiography, after pretreatment of the chromatin with specific detergents such as Sarkosyl NL-30; transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy of ultrathin sections). Nucleolar chromatin and chromosomes from oocytes of various amphibia and insects as well as from green algae of the family of the Dasycladaceae were studied in particular detail. The morphology of transcriptional units that are densely packed with lateral ribonucleoprotein fibrils, indicative of great transcriptional activity, was compared with that of chromatin of reduced lateral fibril density, including stages of drug-induced inhibition. The micrographs showed that under conditions which preserve the nucleosomal organization in condensed chromatin studied in parallel, nucleosomes are not recognized in transcriptionally active chromatin. This holds for the transcribed regions as well as for apparently untranscribed (i.e. fibril-free) regions interspersed between ('spacer') and/or adjacent to transcribed genes and for the fibril-free regions within transcriptional units of reduced fibril density. In addition, comparison oflengths of repeating units of isolated rDNA with those observed in spread nucleolar chromatin indicated that this DNA is not foreshortened and packed into nucleosomal structures. Granular particles which were observed, at irregular frequencies and in variable patterns, in some spacer regions, did not result in a proportional shortening of the spacer axis, and were found to be resistant to detergent treatment effective in removing most of the chromatin associated proteins including histones. Thus, these particles behave like RNA polymerases rather than nucleosomes. It is suggested that structural changes from nucleosomal packing to an extended form of DNA are involved in the transcriptional activation of chromatin.}, language = {en} } @article{Scheer1978, author = {Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Changes of nucleosome frequency in nucleolar and non-nucleolar chromatin as a function of transcription: an electron microscopic study}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39750}, year = {1978}, abstract = {The morphology of nucleolar and non-nucleolar (Iampbrush chromosome loops) chromatin was studied in the electron microscope during states of reduced transcriptional activity in amphibian oocytes (Xenopus laevis, Triturus alpestris, T. cristatus). Reduced transcriptional activity was observed in maturing stages of oocyte development and after treatment with an inhibitor, actinomycin D. Strands of nucleolar chromatin appear smooth and thin, and contain only few, if any, nucleosomal particles in the transcribed units. This is true whether they are densely or only sparsely covered with lateral ribonucleoprotein fibrils. This smooth and non-nucleosomal character is also predominant in the interspersed, apparently nontranscribed rDNA spacer regions. During inactivation, however, nucleolar chromatin frequently and progressively assumes a beaded appearance in extended fibril-free-that is, apparently nontranscribed - regions. I n either fUll-grown 00- cytes or late after drug treatment, most of the nucleolar chromatin is no longer smooth and thin, but rather shows a beaded configuration indistinguishable from inactive non - nucleolar chromatin. In many chromatin strands, transitions of fibril-associated regions of smooth character into beaded regions wihout lateral fibrils are seen. Similarly, in the non-nucleolar chromatin of the retracting lampbrush chromosome loops, reduced transcriptional activity is correlated with a change from smooth to beaded morphology. Here, however, beaded regions are also commonly found interspersed between the more or less distant bases of the lateral fibrils, the putative transcriptional complexes. I n both sorts of chromatin, detergents (in particular Sarkosyl) that remove most of the chromatin proteins including histones from the DNA axis but leave the RNA polymerases of the transcriptional complexes attached were used to discriminate between polymerases and nucleosomal particles. The results suggest that nucleosomes are absent in heavily transcribed chromatin regions but are reformed after inactivation. In contrast to the findings with inactivated nucleolar genes, in lampbrush chromosome loops the beaded nucleosomal configuration appears to be assumed also in regions within transcriptional units that, perhaps temporarily, are not involved in transcription.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrankeZentgrafScheer1978, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Zentgraf, Hanswalter and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Supranucleosomal and non-nucleosomal chromatin configurations}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39447}, year = {1978}, abstract = {A significant contribution to the understanding of chromatin organization was the d iscovery of the nucleosome as a globular repeating unit of the package of DNA (Hewish and Burgoyne, 1973; Woodcock, 1973; Kornberg, 1974; Olins and Olins, 1974; for review see Oudet et al., 1978 a) .

Consequently, nuclear envelopes , which can be manually isolated in great purity, provide a remarkable enrichment of nuclear pore complex material, relative to membranous and other interporous structures. When the polypeptides of nuclear envelopes isolated from oocytes of Xenopl/s la evis and Triturus alpestris are examined by gel electrophoresis, visualized either by staining with Coomassie blue or by radiotluorography after in vitro reaction with [3H]dansyl chloride , a characteristic pattern is obtained (10 major and 15 minor bands). This polypeptide pattern is radically different from that of the nuclear contents isolated from the same cell. Extraction of the nuclear envelope with high salt concentrations and moderateIy ac tive detergents such as Triton X- 100 results in the removal of membrane material but leaves most of the non-membranous structure of the pore complexes. The dry weight of the pore complex (about 0.2 femtograms) remains essentially unchanged during such extractions as measured by quantitative electron microscopy . The extracted preparations which are highly enriched in nuclear pore complex material contain only two major polypeptide components with apparent molecular weights of 150000 and 73000. Components of such an electrophoretic mobility are not present as major bands , if at all , in nuclear contents extracted in the same way. lt is concluded that these two polypeptides are the major constituent protein(s) of the oocyte nuclear pore complex and are specific for this structure. When nuclear envelopes are isolated from rat liver and extracted with high salt buffers and Triton X- 100 similar bands are predominant, but two additional major components of molecular weights of 78000 and 66000 are also recognized. When the rat liver nuclear membranes are further subfractionated material enriched in the 66000 molecular weight component can be separated from the membrane material, indicating that this is relatively loosely associated material , probably a part of the nuclear matrix . The results suggest that the nuclear pore complex is not only a characteristic ubiquitous structure but also contains similar, if not identical , skeletal proteins that are remarkably re sistant to drastic changes of ionic strength as weil as to treatments with detergents and thiol reagents.}, language = {en} }
