The amino acid sequence of the proteolipid subunit of the A TP synthase was analyzed in six mutant strains from Escherichia coli K 12, selected for their increased resistance towards the inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. All six inhibitor-resistant mutants were found to be altered at the same position of the proteolipid, namely at the isoleucine at residue 28. Two substitutions could be identified. In type I this residue was substituted by a valine resulting in a moderate decrease in sensitivity to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Type II contained a threonine residue at this position. Here a strong resistance was observed. These two amino acid substitutions did not influence functional properties of the ATPase complex. ATPase as well as A TP-dependent proton-translocating activities of mutant membranes were indistinguishable from the wild type. At elevated concentrations, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide still bound specifically to the aspartic acid at residue 61 of the mutant proteolipid as in the wild type, and thereby inhibited the activity of the ATPase complex. It is suggested that the residue 28 substituted in the resistant mutants interacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide during the reactions leading to the covalent attachment of the inhibitor to the aspartic acid at residue 61. This could indicate that these two residues are in close vicinity and would thus provide a first hint on the functional conformation of the proteolipid. Its polypeptide chain would have to fold back to bring together these two residues separated by a segment of 32 residues.
NH4CuS4 was prepared according to syntheses reported in the literature. Orthorhombic crystals could be grown (P21 21 21 , a = 5.249(1), b = 8.444(2), c = 12.782(2) A, Z = 4), the structure of which was solved from X-ray diffractometer data. (R = 0.031 for 767 obs. reflections). In the solid state (CuS4)- chelate rings are linked via additional Cu-S-bonds to form one-dimensional polymerie anions.

When reovirus-infected Hela cells are incubated at 43°C virus-specific messenger RNA is released ~rom the polysomes. It accumulates free in the cytoplasm as messenger ribonucleoprotem partIcles (mRNPs). The:e part~cles have a sedimentati~n rate of about 50S and a buoyant densIty m CsCI of 1.42 g/cm . ReovIrus mRNPs contam, beSIdes all three size classes of reovirus messenger RNA, the same spectrum of proteins found in the polysomal mRNPs from uninfected cells, plus t~o addi~ional pr?teins with molecular masses of 7000~ d and 110000 d, respectively. Electron mIcroscoPIc exammatlOn of the reovIrus mRNP fractIOn reveals specific Y-shaped structures wIth a total mean length ofO.5Ilm.
[\(^{14}\)C] Aflatoxin B\(_1\) (AFB\(_1\)) was isolated from cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus grown on [1-\(^{114}\)C] sodium acetate. Covalent binding of AFB1 to liver DNA of rat and mouse was determined 6-8 h afteroral administration. The effectiveness of covalent binding, expressedas DNA binding per dose in the units of a 'Covalent Binding Index' (CBI), (\(\mu\)mol aflatoxin/mol DNA nucleotides)/(mmol aflatoxin/kg animal), was found to be 10 400 for rats and 240 for mice. These CBI partly explain the different susceptibility of the two species for the incidence of hepatic tumors. The corresponding values for pig liver DN A, 24 and 48 h after oral administration, were found to be as high as 19 100 and 13 300. DNA-binding has not so far been reported for this species although it could represent an appropriate animal model for studies where a human-like gastrointestinal tract physiology is desirable. Aflatoxin M \(_1\) ( AFM\(_1\)) is a metabolite found in the milk of cows that have been fed AFB\(_1\)-contaminated diet. [\(^{14}\)C] AFM\(_1\) was also found to be produced by cultures of A. parasiticus giving a yield of about 0.3% of the total aflatoxins. A test for covalent binding to rat liver DN A revealed a CBI of 2100 shoWing that AFM\(_1\) must also be regarded as a strong hepatocarcinogen. It is concluded that AFB\(_1\) contaminations should be avoided in dairy feed.
In vivo covalent binding of aflatoxin metabolites isolated from animal tissue to rat-liver DNA
(1980)
Ring-labelled [\(^{14}\)C)aflatoxin B\(_1\) (AFB\(_1\)), prepared by biosynthesis. or generally labelled [\(^3\)H]AFB\(_1\) was administered by oral gavage to young adult male rats. After 6 hr. the liver was removed and two fractions were isolated, namely macromolecules, which contamed about 3 % of the initial dose of AFB\(_1\) radioactivity. and water-soluble, low-molecular aftatoxin conjugates containing about0·2% of the administered radioactivity. These two fractions were administered orally to other rats in order to determine the potential of radioactive aftatoxin residues for covalent binding to DNA. Such binding can be used as an indicator for carcinogenic potency. Liver DNA was isolated 9-12 hr after admmistration of the aflatoxin derivatives and in no case was any radioactivity detected on the DNA. It can be deduced on the basis of the limit of detection of radioactivity on the DNA, that macromolecule bound AFB\(_1\) derivatives are at least 4000 times less active than AFB\(_1\) with respect to covalent binding to rat-liver DNA. and that the water-soluble conjugates are at least 100 times less potent than AFB, itself. It is concluded that the carcinogenic risk for humans who consume liver or meat. containing such aflatoxin residues is negligible when compared with the risk from intake of aftatoxins in other food items.
Groups of four adult male rats [ZUR:SIV -Z] were pretreated with corn oil (control; 2 ml/kg/day i. p. for 3 days), trans-stilbene-oxide (SO; 200 mg/kg/day i. p. for 2 days), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; 10 \(\mu\)g/kg i. p. once, 4 days before killing), phenobarbital (PB; 1 gjliter in the drinking water for 8 days), and dieldrin (20 mg/kg/day i. p. for 3 or 9 days). They received an injection of [G-\(^3\)H]benzo(a)pyrene (BaP, 31 \(\mu\)g/kg, 7.4. 10\(^9\) dpm/kg; i. v.) 16 h before killing. In the liver of each rat, five enzymatic activities and the covalent binding of BaP to DNA have been determined. The rnicrosomal aryl hydrocarbon monooxygenase activity (AHM) ranged frorn 75% of control (SO) to 356% (TCDD), the nuclear AHM from 63% (SO) to 333% (TCDD). Microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity (EH) was induced up to 238% (PB), nuclear EH ranged from 86% (TCDD) to 218% (PB). A different extent of induction was observed in the two compartments. Highest induction of glutathione S-epoxide transferase activity (GST) was found with PB (202%). The DNA binding of BaP was modulated within 79% (dieldrin, 9 days) and 238% of control (TCDD). An enzyme digest of control DNA was analysed by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. Multiple linear regression analysis with all data expressedas o/o of control yielded the following equation: DNA Binding = 1.49 · Microsomal AHM- 1.07 · Nuclear AHM+ 0.33 · Microsomal EH- 0.52 · N uclear EH+ 0.11 · Cytoplasmic GST + 58.2. From this analysis it is concluded that (1) AHM located in the endoplasmic reticulum is most important in the formation of DNA-binding metabolites, (2) EH in the same compar.tment is not determinative in thls respect nor has it a protective effect, (3) both membrane-bound enzyme activities located in the nucleus may inactivate potential ultimate carcinogens, and ( 4) cytoplasmic GST probably cannot reduce DNA binding due to its subcellular localization.

Häufig tritt in der psychologischen und psychiatrischen Forschung die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen zwei oder mehreren Zeitreihen auf. übliche Kovariationsmaße versagen dabei vor allem deshalb, weil sie nicht inferentiell ausgewertet werden können. An einem Beispiel aus der Pharmakopsychologie wird ein auf Pfanzagl (1963) zurückgehendes Verfahren vorgeschlagen, das es erlaubt, voraussetzungsfrei den Zusammenhang zwischen autokorrelierten Meßwertreihen zu prüfen. Als Unabhängigkeit zweier Zeitreihen wird definiert, daß zwischen ihnen bei Erhaltung der Autokorrelation kein höherer Zusammenhang besteht als nach dem Zufall zu erwarten.
