The He (I) photoelectron spectra of 2-bicyclo[2.1.l]hexene (1), 2,3-bis(methylene)bicyclo[2.1.l]hexane (3), and 3,4-bis(methylene)tricyclo[3.l.O.0\(^{2.6}\)]hexane (4) have been investigated. The assignment given is based on a ZDO model and semiempirical calculations. Tagether with the PE data of benzvalene (2), the reported data allow a comparison between 1-2 and 3-4. This yields a measure of the interactions between 8 cyclobutane or 8 bicyclobutane moiety and a double bond system within a ZDO model. The resonance integral found in the case of 1 and 3 amounts to -1.9 eV, that for 2 and 4, to -2.3 eV. The investigations furthermore reveal that the electronic factors which contribute to the higher reactivity of the bicyclobutane compounds amount to 5 kcal/mol.

The haemolysin (hly) determinant of the plasmid pHly152 contains an IS2 element at 469 bp upstream of the hlyC gene. The sequence at the other (right-hand) end (RS) also shows multiple hybridization with the plasmid pHly152 and the chromosome of some Escherichia coli strains but the nucleotide sequence of this region does not reveal the typical properties of an IS element. Similar arrangements in the regions flanking the hly determinant are also found on various Hly plasmids from uropathogenic E. coli strains. Chromosomal hly determinants Iack both flanking sequences (IS2 and RS) in the immediate vicinity of the hly genes. The sequences immediately upstream of the hlyC gene have been determined from several chromosomal hly determinants and compared with the corresponding sequence of the hly determinant of the plasmid pHly152. We show that these sequences, which contain one promoter (left promoter, phlyL) in all hly determinants tested, vary considerably although common sequence elements can still be identified. In contrast, only relatively few nucleotide exchanges have been detected in the adjacent structural hlyC genes. The A + T content of the 200 bp sequence upstream of hlyC is very high (72 mol% A + T) but even the structural hly genes show a considerably higher A + T content (about 60 mol%) than the E. coli chromosome on average (50 mol% A+T) suggesting that the hly determinant may not have originated in E. coli.
We investigated the role of bacterial adherence and hemolysin production from Escherichia coli parent and genetically cloned strains as to their eft'ects on bistaJidne release from rat mast cells and leukotriene generation from human polymorphonuclear granulocytes. These mediators were involved in the induction of inftammatory disease processes and led, for example, to enhancement of vascular permeability, chemotaxis (leukotriene 84 [LTB4]), chemoaggregation, lysosomal enzyme release, and smooth muscle contraction, (LTC4, LTD4 , and LTE4). Washed bacteria (E. coli K-12 Ms+ my=; E. coli 536 Ms+ MR= my=) as weil as their culture supematants were analyzed. Washed E. coli K-12 (Hiy+), unlike Hly- strains, induced high amounts of histamine release from rat mast cells and chemotactic activity from human polymorphonuclear granulocytes. Significant leukotriene releasewas obtained with washed E. coli K-12 my+ strains and their bacterial culture supematants. Leukotriene induction was dependent on the amount of hemolysin activity present in the supematant. However, additional soluble factors should also be considered. The presence of hemolysin appeared to aceeierate and enhance the rate of phagocytosis of bacteria by neutrophUs. When E. coli 536 (MS+ MR= Hly=) strains were analyzed, the simultaneous presence of MR+ pili and hemolysin production led to an increase in histamine release as compared with MR- my+ strains. The genetically cloned MR+ my+ E. coli 536 strain induced higher amounts of IeukotrieDes as compared with the wUd-type strain. Our data soggest a potent role for adhesins and hemolysin as virulence factors in inducing the release of inftammatory mediators.
Barbiturates in pharmacologically relevant . concentrations inhibit binding of (R)-\(N^6\)-phenylisopropyl[\(^3\)H]adenosine ([\(^3\)H]PIA) to solubilized A\(_1\) adenosine receptors in a concentration-dependent, stereospecific, and competitive manner. K\(_i\) values are similar to those obtained for membrane-bound receptors and are 31 \(\mu\)M for ( ± )-5-(1 ,3-dimethyl)-5-ethylbarbituric acid [( ± )DMBB] and 89 \(\mu\)M for ( ± )-pentobarbital. Kinetic experiments demoostrate that barbiturates compete directly for the binding site of the receptor. The inhibition of rat striatal adenylate cyclase by unlabelled (R)-\(N^6\)-phenylisopropyladenosine [(R)-PIA] is antagonized by barbiturates in the same concentrations that inhibit radioligand binding. The Stimulation of adenylate cyclase via A\(_2\) adenosine receptors in membranes from NIE 115 neuroblastoma cells is antagonized only by 10-30 times higher concentrations of barbiturates. lt is concluded that barbiturates are selective antagonists at the A1 receptor subtype. In analogy to the excitatory effects of methylxanthines it is suggested that A\(_1\) adenosine receptor antagonism may convey excitatory properties to barbiturates. Key Words: Adenosine receptors-Barbiturates - Adenylate cyclase-Receptor solubilization-[3H]PIA binding-N1E 115 cells. Lohse M. J. et al. Barbiturates are selective antagonists at A1 adenosine receptors.
Thromboxanes are abundantly present in the rat brain but their possible physiological functions in the brain are not known. The prostaglandin endoperoxide analogue U-46619 is a selective agonist of TxA2 receptors in many peripheral tissues. In the present study the ·central cardiovascular and ventilatory effects of U-46619 were investigated in rats. In conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) U-46619 (1-100 nmol/kg i.c.v.) induced a strong dose-related increase in blood pressure but had no significant effect on heart rate. In conscious normotensive rats (NR) neither blood pressure nor heart rate was significantly affected. Furthermore, U-46619 (0.1-100 nmol/kg i.c.v.) had no significant effect on blood pressure, heart rate or ventilation in urethane-anaesthetised NR . The results demonstrate an increased sensitivity of SHR to TxA2.
The Qropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 (06:K15:H31) exhibits a mannose-resistant hemagglutination phenotype (Mrh) with bovine erythrocytes and delayed Mrh with human and guinea pig erythrocytes. Neuraminidase treatment of the erythrocytes abolishes mannose resistant hemagglutination, which is typical for X fimbriae. E. coli strain 536 synthesizes two different fimbriae (Fim phenotype) prQtein subunits, 16.5 and 22 kilodaltons in size. In addition the strain shows mannose-sensitive hemagglutination and common type I (Fl) fimbriae. The cosmid clone E. coli K-12(pANN801) and another nine independently isolated Mrh+ cosmid clones derived from a cosmid gene bank of strain 536 express the 16.5-kilodalton protein band, bot not the 22-kilodalton protein, indicating an association of the Mrh+ property with the "16.5-kilodalton fimbriae." All cosmid clones were fimbriated, and they reacted with antiserum produced against Mrh+ fimbriae of the E. coli strain HB101(pANN801) and lacked mannose-sensitive hemagglutination (Fl) funbriae. From the Mrh fim cosmid DNA pANN801, several subclones coding for hemagglutination and X fimbriae were constructed. Subclones that express both hemagglutination and fimbriae and subclones that only code for the hemagglutination antigen were isolated; subclones that only produce fimbriae were not detected. By transposon Tn5 mutagenesis we demonstrated that about 6.5 kilobases of DNA is required for the Mrh+ Fim+ phenotype, and the 1.5- to 2-kilobase DNA region coding for the structural proteiil of the fimbriae has been mapped adjacent to the region responsible for the Mrh+ phenotype. Two different regions can thus be distinguished in the adhesion determinant, one coding for hemagglutination and the other coding for fimbria formation. Transformation of plasmid DNA from these subclones into a Mrh- Fim- mutant of E. coli 536 and into a galE (rough) strain of Salmonella typhimurium yielded transformants that expressed both hemagglutination and fimbria production.
The gene for the FeS protein of the Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides b/c1 complex was identified by means of crosshybridization with a segment of the gene encoding the corresponding FeS protein of Neurospora crassa. Plasmids (pRSF1-14) containing the cross-hybridizing region, covering in total 13.5 kb of chromosomal DNA, were expressed in vitro in a homologous system. One RSF plasmid directed the synthesis of all three main polypeptides of the R. sphaeroides blc1 complex: the FeS protein, cytochrome b and cytochrome c1• The FeS protein and cytochrome c1 were apparently synthesized as precursor fonns. None of the pRSF plasmids directed the synthesis of the 10-kd polypeptide found in b/c1 complex preparations. Partial sequencing of the cloned region was performed. Several sites of strong homology between R. sphaeroides and eukaryotic polypeptides of the b/c1 complex were identified. The genes encode the three b/c1 polypeptides in the order: (5') FeS protein, cytochrome b, cytochrome c1• The three genes are transcribed to give a polycistronic mRNA of 2.9 kb. This transcriptional unit has been designated the jbc operon; its coding capacity corresponds to the size of the polycistronic mRNA assuming that only the genes for the FeS protein (jbcF), cytochrome b (jbcß) and cytochrome c1 (jbcC) are present. This could indicate that these three subunits constitute the minimal catalytic unit of the b/c1 complex from photosynthetic membranes.
Structural peculiarities of the S'-end segments of genomic RNA were studied in F potato virus (F-PV) and white clover mosaic virus (WCMV). The methods of affinity chromatography on oligo(dT) cellulose and oligonucleotide mapping revealed a prolonged (up to 210 nucleotides) polyadenyl sequence at the 3'-end of F-PV RNA. 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).
Male Fischer F-344 rats were given ethanol in the drinking water and/or by single oral administration. Following this, the animals received p.o. 100 ng/kg of the hepatocarcinogen eHJaflatoxin BI (AFBI)' 24 h later, the level of DNA-bound AFBI was determined in the liver and was found not to be affected by any type of ethanol pretreatment. A cocarcinogenic effect of ethanol in the liver is therefore unlikely to be due to an effect on the metabolic activation and inactivation processes governing the formation of DNA-binding AFBI metabolites.
The crystal structures of the (R)-enantiomer (2b) and the racemate (1 b) of (cyclohexyl)phenyl[2- (pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]silanol (sila--procyclidine) have been determined by X -ray structural analysis. The absolute configuration of (2b) was established. (2b) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2\(_1\)2\(_1\)2\(_1\), with a = 15.221 (1 ), b = 17.967(1 ), c = 6.463(1) A, and Z = 4. (1 b) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2\(_1\)/c, with a = 6.441 (1 ), b = 17.1 82(7), c = 16.707(4) A, ß = 1 03.86(2r, and Z = 4. The structures were refined to respective R factors of 0.044 and 0.058. The molecular conformation of sila-procyclidine is identical in the two different structures. lntermolecular 0-H • • • N hydrogen bonding is observed in both crystallattices.ln (1 b) (R)- and (S)-configurated molecules form centrosymmetric dimers, in (2b) the (R)-configurated molecules are linked into infinite chains parallel to the c axis. The (R)-configurated sila--procyclidine (2b) has higher affinity for ileal and atrial muscarinic receptors of the guinea pig than the (S)-configurated enantiomer (3b).

A new in situ preparation of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (3) is described: 3 is generated by a thermally induced rearrangement of (dimethylsilyl)methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (2), which can be prepared by reaction of (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)Si(H)CH\(_2\)OH (1) with (CF\(_3\)SO\(_2\))\(_2\)O. Starting with C\(_6\)H\(_5\)(CH\(_3\))Si(H)CH\(_2\)OH (5), the derivative (methylphenylsilyl)methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (6) can be obtained by a similar method. Its thermally induced rearrangement Ieads to dimethylphenylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (7). The rearrangements 2---> 3 and 6---> 7 were found to be first-order reactions with half-lifes at 80 oc of 0.75 and 1.7 h, respectively.
