Radioactive amino acids were incorporated into isolated mitochondria from Neurospora crassa. Then the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated and submitted to density gradient centrifugation. A preferential labelling of polysomes was observed. However, when the mitochondrial suspension was treated with puromycin after amino acid incorporation, no radioactivity could be detected in either the monosomes or the polysomes. The conclusion is drawn that isolated mitochondria under these conditions do not incorporate significant amounts of amino acids into proteins of their ribosomes.
Radioactive amino acids were incorporated in vivo into N eurospora crassa cells, and the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated. The incorporation of radioactivity into the proteins of these ribosomes was inhibited by cycloheximide, but not by chloramphenicol. It is therefore concluded that these proteins are synthesized on the cycloheximide sensitive and chloramphenicol insensitive cytoplasmic ribosomes.
Semi -iso la ted annul a te lamellae were prepared from single newt oocy tes (Triturus alpestris) by a modified Call a n-T omlin technique. Such preparations were examined with the electron mi croscope, and the negative sta ining a ppearance of th e a nnulate lamellae is described . The annul a te lamellae can be de tected either adhering to the nuclear envelope or being detached from it. Sometimes they a re obse rved to be connected with slender tubular-like structures interpreted as pa rts of the endoplasmic reti culum. The results obta ined from negativ e sta ining a re combined with those from sections. Especially, the structural data on th e a nnula te lamellae and the nuclear envelope of the very same cell were compa red . Evidence is presented th a t in the oocytes studied the two kinds of porous cisternae, n amely a nnul a te lamellae and nuclear envelope, a re markedly distinguished in that the annul a te lamellae ex hibit a much higher pore frequency (generally about twice tha t found for the corresponding nuclear envelope) and have al so a rela tive pore area occupying as much as 32 % to 55 % of th e cistern al surface (compa red with 13 % to 22 % in the nuclear envelopes). T he pore di ame ter a nd all other ultras tructural details of the pore complexes, however, a re equi valent in both kinds of porous cisternae. Like the annuli of the nuclear pore complexes of various a nimal and pl ant cells, the a nnuli of the a nnula te lamellae pores reveal al so an eightfold symmetry of their subunits in negatively stained as well as in ectioned ma teria l. Furthermore, th e a nnul a te lamellae a re shown to be a site of activity of the Mg-Na-Kstimul a ted ATPase.
1 n order to review the contradictory statements on the ultrast ructure of the nuclear envelope, a study was undertaken combining section and negat ive stai ning electron microscopy on manually isolated oocyte nuclei and nuclear envelopes from six amphibian species including Anura as well as Urodela. The a ppeara nce of the negatively stained iso lated nuclear envelopes is described in deta il and the dependence on the preparation co nditions used is emphas ized . Pore complex structures such as pore perimeter, central granule, an nul ar components, interna l fibrils, and annu lus-attached fibrils could be identified by both techniques, negat ive staining and sect ions. Comparative studies show that no marked diffe rences ex ist in the structural data of the nuclear envelope among the investigated amphibians and the significance of the structural components is discussed. A model of the nuclea r pore complex based on the findings of the present investigation is prese nted.
Radioaetive leueine was ineorporated by N eurospora crassa mitoehondria in vivo in the presence of cyeloheximide. When the membrane protein of these mitochondria was ehromatographieally separated on oleyl polymethaerylie aeid resin, & nurober of fraetions were obtained whieh differ with respeet to their eontents of radioaetivity and eytoehromes. The highest speeifie radioaetivity was found in the fraction eontaining eytoehrome aa3• This fraetion proved to be a pure and enzymatically aetive cytoehrome oxidase. Its ratio of absorbanee at 280 nm (ox)/ 443 nm (red.) was 2.1. By means of sodium dodeeylsulfate gel-electrophoresis, this enzymewas separated into five polypeptides with molecular weights of 30000, 20000, 13000, 10000, and 8000. Only the polypeptide with the molecular weight 20000 displayed a high specific radioaetivity.
The structure of monensin, C36H620 11 , has been deterrnined by X-ray analysis of its crystalline monohydrate (orthorhombic, a = 15.15, b = 23.61, c = 10.65 A, Z = 4, space group P212121). Phases were assigned by direct methods, malring use of the 'tangent formula'. Although the conformation of the free acid resembles that of the silver salt in being cyclic, there are differences in the hydrogen bonding pattern. These featurcs are discussed in relation to the cornplexation of metal ions by m.onensin.
The thermodynainic parameters ΔH0, ΔG0 and ΔS0 - and thereby the equilibrium constants - for the complexation of the carrier antibiotics nigericin and monensin with sodium and potassium ions in methanol at 25°C have been determined by microcalorimetry. Tbc results are discussed in terms of the nature of the interaction between ligands and cations.
The observed impurity induced far-infrared absorption in CsCl : Rb\(^+\) and CsCl : K\(^+\) is compared with a calculated density of acoustic phonon states in CsCl. The absorption due to CsCl : Rb\(^+\) displays a minimum between the acoustic and optic phonon bands. A narrow line is observed in CsCl: K\(^+\) at 85.8 cm\(^{-1}\) which falls in this quasi-phonon gap.
A small fraction of HeLa cells within an exponentially growing culture showed cisternal differentiations, such as cytoplasmic as well as intranuclear annulate lamellae and special smooth surfaced endoplasmic reticulum aggregates with a typical "Cotte de maillet" appearance. Additionally, clusters of dense granules were observed in the cytoplasm which were often associated with polysomes and strongly resembled the so-called "heavy bodies" known in particular in diverse oocytes. The functional meaning of these structures is discussed. Moreover, it is deduced from the ultrastructural identity of the pore complexes in the nuclear envelope and the cytoplasmic and intranuclear annulate lamellae that the pore complex material with its highly ordered arrangement is not a structure characteristic for nucleocytoplasmically migrating material, but rather is a general structural expression of a tight binding of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) to cisternal membranes. The pore complexes are thought of as representing sites of a RNP-storage. A similar functioning is hypothesized for the "heavy body"like aggregates. To the current hypotheses on the formation of annulate lamellae and the nuclear envelope, which are based on the concept of membrane continuities and constancies, the alternative view of a self assembly mechanism of membrane constituents on nucleoprotein structures is added.
