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.
Sizes of chromosome loops and hnRNA molecules in oocytes of amphibia of different genome sizes
(1982)
The lengths of lampbrush chromosome loops and their tran scription units show a positive correlation with genome size in oocytes of amphibia with different C values. However, there is no such correlation with contour lengths of hnRNA molecu les isolated from these oocytes. These results indi cate th at more ON A sequences are transcribed in amphibia of higher C value , but that processing of RNA transc ripts occurs while they are still attached to the chromosomes as nascent ribonucleoprotein fibrils.
While clear evidence exists for the direct involvement of cytolysins in the pathogenesis of Gram-positive bacteria, the significance of Gram-negative haemolysins remains unclear. This paper presents briefly data indicating a role for haemolysin production in infections caused by Escherichia coli and also experiments which have allowed an analysis of the molecular basis of the haemolysis among pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of this species.
