In the hnRNA population both complements of the repeats are found and can be readily detected because they form intermolecular duplex structures. The structure and formation of duplex regions have been studied in the hnRNA of Xenopus laevis, Triturus cristatus, Amphiuma means and Necturus maculosus, a series of amphibians of increasing genome size (C-value). In T. cristatus, the duplex structures are mostly 600- 1200 bp in length, whereas in X. laevis they are shorter and in N. maculosus they tend to be longer. Although the proportion of RNA sequence capable of rapidly forming duplex structures is different in different organisms, this property bears no relationship to C-value. However the sequence complexity of complementary repeats, as estimated from the rate of duplex formation, does show an increasing trend with C-value. The complementary repeats found in oocyte hnRNA are transcribed from families of DNA sequence that are each represented in the genome by thousands of copies. The extent of cross-species hybridization is low, indicating that the repeat sequences transcribed in different amphibian genera are not the same. In situ hybridization experiments indicate that the repeat sequences are spread throughout the genome. The evolution and possible function of complementary repeats are considered.

When administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) to rats, both AA and PGFal exert dose-related hypertensive, tachycardic and hyperthermic effects. Metabolie alterations in the endogenaus formation of some prostaglandins in the brain-stem of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have been reported. Therefore the central effects of AA and PGF \(_{2\alpha}\) on blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature were studied both in SHR and nonootensive Wistar rats (NR) under urethane-anaesthesia. The hypertensive effect of AA i.c.v. (0.01-100 \(\mu\)g/rat) was larger in magni tude in SHR than in NR, but there was no significant difference in the M-induced changes of heart rate and body temperature between the groups. Pretreatment of NR wi th soditm1 :meclofenamate (1 mg/rat i.c.v.) antagonised the central effects of M indicating that these effects are not due to M itself but to its conversion to prostaglandins. Unlike the effects of AA, the central hypertensive, tachycardic and hyperthennic responses to PGF\(_{2\alpha}\) (0.5-50 l-lg/rat i.c.v .) were significantly attenuated in SHR. The present results obtained with M are conpatible with the previous assumption that the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain of SHR might differ from that in NR. The results also demonstrate that the central effects of PGF\(_{2\alpha}\) are reduced in SHR.

The highest dose of 10 ,ug/rat induced a strong initial hypotensive effect. lntravenously (i.v.), PGE2 at the doses of 0.01-10 ,ug/rat caused a biphasic blood pressure response with dose-related initial decreases followed by slight increases in blood pressure. The heart rate and body temperature were slightly increased by i.v. administrations of PGE2 . The highest i.v. dose of 10 ,ug/rat initially decreased also the heart rate. Central pretreatment with indomethacin ( I mg/rat i.c.v.) partly antagonised all of the recorded central effects of PGE2 , while sodium meclofenamate (I mg/rat i.c. v.) abolished the hypertensive response to i.c. v. administered PGE2 but failed to significantly affect the PGE2-induced rises of heart rate and body temperature. The results support the previous suggestions that PGE2 may participate in the central cardiovascular and thermoregulatory contro!. The results also suggest that indomethacin and sodium meclofenamate antagonize the effects of exogenous prostaglandins. Since sodium meclofenamate, unlike indomethacin, affected preferentially the hypertensive response to centrally administered PGE2 , there may be differences in the sites and/or modes of action between these drugs.

Recently a neurornodulator role for PGD2 has been suggested. In the present work the central cardiovascular and thermal effects of PGDz were studied in urethane-anaesthetised rats. Mlen adrndnistered at the doses of 0.001-10 ~g/rat into the lateral cerebral ventricle(i.c.v.), PGD2 slightly increased the blood pressure, heart rate and body ternpera~ ure. The highest dose caused also an initial hypotensive effect. Upon lntravenous injections PGD2 (0.1-10 ~g/rat) initially decreased and then weakly increased the blood pressure but had only negligible effects on heart rate and body temperature. Central pretreatment with sodium meclofenamate or indomethacin (1 mg/rat i.c.v.) antagonised effectively all the recorded central effects of PGD2. The central cardiovascular and thermal effects of PGD2 were much weaker than those obtained earlier with other prostaglandins, such as PGF2alpha and PGE2.. Therefore, in spite of its abundance in the brain PGD2 may not be very important for the central cardiovascular and thermal regulation in the rat.

T1 - Structure and genetics of the H\(^+\)-conducting F\(_0\) portion of the ATP synthase N2 - The ATP synthase occurs in remarkably conserved form in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells. Thus, our present knowledge of ATP synthase is derived from sturlies of the enzyme from different organisms, each affering specific experimental possibilities. In recent tim es, research on the H\(^+\) -conducting F0 part of the ATP synthase has been greatly stimulated by two developments in the Escherichio coli system. Firstly, the purification and reconstitution of the whole ATP synthase as weil as the proton conductor Fa from E. coli have been achieved. These functionally active preparations are well defined in terms of subunit composition, similar to the thermophilic enzyme from PS-3 studied by Kagawa's group.u Secondly, the genetics and the molecular cloning of the genes of all the F\(_0\) subunits from E. coli yielded information on the function of subunit polypeptides and essential amino acid residues. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of hydrophobic F\(_0\) subunits, which are difficult to analyze by protein-chemical techniques, could be derived from the nucleotide sequence of the genes. These achievements, which shall be briefly summarized in the next part of this communication, provide the framework to study specific aspects of the structure and function of the F\(_0\) subunits.
