A1 - Barnekow, Angelika T1 - Preferential expression of a pp60c-src related protein tyrosine kinase activity in nerve cells of the early metazoan Hydra (Coelenterates) N2 - It has been suggested that the proto-oncogene c-src plays a functional role in developing neurons, and in the mature nerve cells of higher vertebrales. The coelenterate Hydra represents tbe most primitive known organism possessing nerve cells. With Southern blot hybridizations we have demonstrated src-related sequences in Hydra. Antisera specific for the c-src gene product (pp60 c-src) of birds and mammals precipitate a protein from Hydra cell extracts with a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. Studies of tissues and cells fractionated from a temperature sensitive mutant of Hydra which is depleted of interstitial (including nerve) cells at tbe non-permissive temperature, have indicated the src-like kinase of Hydra to be preferentially expressed in nerve cells. The high conservation of structural features and of the expression pattern indicates a basic function for pp60c-src in neurons.

MM of Xiphophorus exhibits tightly packed pigment cells with prominent dendritic processes and interdigitations of their plasma membranes. The most impressive feature of MM cells is the occurrence of Iarge lobulated nuclei with numerous nuclear pores and some nuclear pockets. Abundant spheroidal or ellipsoidal melanosomes (diameter 200-650 nm) and vesicular structures are distributed throughout the cellular dendrites, whereas the perinucJear cytoplasm is free of melanosomes. A further characteristic feature of melanoma cells in fish is the occurrence of melanosome complexes (i.e., "compound melanosomes"). These melanosome complexes consist of a few to numerous melanosomes, which are enveloped by a separate rnembrane. Pinocytotic vesicles couJd be demonstrated with distinct differences in frequency and distribution patterns, indicating differences in the metabolic activities of the cells in the same melanoma. Intercellular junctions are lacking in the MM cells. The conventional TEM technique showed clear advantages in the demonstration of intemal architecture of organelles, whereas FE bad considerable potential in respect to the visualization of membrane surface specializations.

Isle of Chisumulu, Lake Malawi) is described as a new species. It is compared with Ps. aurora, Ps. greshakei, Ps. livingstonii, Ps. lombardoi, and Ps. zebra. All these taxa, including Ps. hajomaylandi and Ps. heteropictus, are classified in the subgenus Maylandia.

T1 - Evaluation of environmental and hereditary factors in carcinogenesis, based on studies in Xiphophorus N2 - Neoplasia in Xiphophorus can be classified into a) a large group that is triggered by carcinogens; b) a large group triggered by promoters; c) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following interpopulational and interracial hybridizations; and d) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following germ line mutation. The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Hybridization is the most effective process that leads to disintegration of the protection gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration and thus may trigger neoplasia. It is discussed whether the findings on Xiphophorus may also apply to humans.

A1 - Gonzalez-Villasenor, Lucia Irene A1 - Schartl, Manfred T1 - Effect of growth hormone on the growth rate of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), and use of different constructs for the production of transgenic fish N2 - When bovine or human growth hormones (GH) were injected into 6 months old (about 10 g) gilthead seabream, the growth rate of the fish, as measured by changes in their weight, increased by only about 15% compared with the saline-injected control. No effect or even slight inhibition of the growth rate was obtained when chicken or porcine GHs were injected. In a preliminary experiment, it was found that injection ofthe native GH increased the growth rate ofthe fish by about 20% after treatment for only 2 weeks. An expression vector, using the pRE1 plasmid and transformation into MZl cells, produced the gilthead seabream GH, providing a supply for further experiments on the effect of the homologaus GH on growth. Two reporter genes, ß-galactosidase (lacZ) and melanoma oncogene of Xiphophorus (mrk YY), were microinjected into fertilized eggs of S. aurata. Expression of these two genes could be demonstrated in 2-day-old embryos, the lacZ gene by staining of its enzymatic product, and the mrk YY gene by its phenotypic expression.
