Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) RNA which was previously reported to contain poly(A) sequences (Agranovsky et al., 1978) can be specifically esterified with tyrosine in vitro in the presence of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase fraction from wheat embryos. All the three RNA components of the BSMV strain with a three-component genome (Norwich) and both RNA components of a two-component strain (Russian) can be tyrosylated. The poly(A)-containing (bound to oligo(dT)-cellulose) and poly(A)-deficient(not bound to oligo(dT)-cellulose) fractions of BSMV RNA display a similar amino acidaccepting ability. The nucleotide sequence which accepts tyrosine is coupled with the intact genomic polyadenylated BSMV RNA. The viral RNA isolated after sucrose density gradient centrifugation under drastic denaturing conditions retains its aminoacylating activity, which suggests that this activity is not due to the presence in a BSMV RNA preparation of a tyrosine tRNA associated with BSMV RNA. Inhibition of aminoacylation of the 3’-oxidized (treated with sodium metaperiodate) BSMV RNA suggests that the tyrosine-accepting structure is localized at the 3’ terminus of BSMV RNA molecules. It is shown that segments of different lengths obtained upon random fragmentation can be tyrosylated. The 3’-terminal (tyrosine-accepting) poly(A)+ segments can be isolated. The shortest segments of viral RNA capable of being aminoacylated [i.e., containing both tRNA-like structure and poly(A)] consists of approximately 150-200 nucleotides. The analysis of the oligonucleotides derived from individual BSMV RNA components labeled with 32P at the 3’ end revealed two types of 3’-terminal sequences different from poly(A). It is suggested that a poly(A) sequence is intercalated between a 3’-terminal tyrosineaccepting structure and the 5’-terminal portion of poly(A)+ BSMV RNA.

Neoplasia in Xiphophorus can be classified into a) a large group that is triggered by carcinogens; b) a large group triggered by promoters; c) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following interpopulational and interracial hybridizations; and d) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following germ line mutation. The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Hybridization is the most effective process that leads to disintegration of the protection gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration and thus may trigger neoplasia. It is discussed whether the findings on Xiphophorus may also apply to humans.
Neoplasia in Xiphophorus can be classified into: a) a Jarge group triggered by carcinogens; b) a large group triggered by promoters; and c) a small group that develops "spontaneously" according to Mendelian Jaw. The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Interpopulational arid interracial hybridization is the most effective process that Ieads to disintegration of the protective gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration in somatic cells and thus may trigger neoplasia. The applications of the findings on Xiphophorus to humans are discussed.

Antibodies directed against RNA polymerase II (B) from Drosophila melanogaster were obtained from rabbit sera and, as monoclonal immunoglobulins, from mouse hybridomas and shown to cross-react with the amphibian enzyme protein. Localization by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed the association of this enzyme with chromatin of interphase nuclei of amphibian cells and its absence in nucleoli. Purified immunoglobulins were microinjected in to nuclei ofliving vitellogenic oocytes of Ple1lrodeles waltlii and X enopus laevis and their effects on transcriptional processes were monitored by biochemical and light and electron microscopic stud ies. RNA polymerase II antibodies from rabbit sera caused a rapid and almost complete release of nascent transcripts from the chromatin axis of the loops of lampbrush chromosomes, followed by collapse of the loops and their retraction on the main chromosome axis. Monoclonal murine antibodies to the Iarge RNA polymerase II subunits also inhibited transcription in chromosome Ioops but appeared to inhibit initiation rather than elongation events. Activities of class land III RNA polymerases were not significantly affected by injection of antibodies to polymerase II, indicating immunological differences between the three RNA polymerases. The potential value of the in vitro test system described , as a very sensitive assay for detecting proteins involved in transcription in living cells, is discussed. 1

Der vorliegende Beitrag behandelt inhaltliche und methodische Probleme einer Längsschnittstudie, die derzeit am MPI für Psychiatrie in München an depressiven Patienten durchgeführt wird. Diese Untersuchung hat einen diagnostischen und einen kommunikationstheoretischen Aspekt. Von diagnostischem Interesse sind die depressionsspezifischen Veränderungen des kommunikativen Verhaltens. Kommunikationstheoretisch gewendet lautet die Frage, wie sich der interne Zustand einer Person in ihrem Verhalten reflektiert. In diesem Beitrag wird die Fragestellung konzentriert auf tonische Eigenschaften des Blickverhaltens im Interaktionsprozeß und deren Stabilität im Krankheitsverlauf. Zunächst wird die theoretische Grundlage referiert, die wir für das Blickverhalten entwickelt haben. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird auf Datenerhebung und Reliabilitätskontrolle eingegangen. Die Struktur der Daten bestimmt die Auswertungsmethoden. Einige der Methoden, mit denen wir derzeit arbeiten, werden im Zusammenhang mit umschriebenen Problemstellungen erläutert: Deskription und Interpretation des tonischen Blickverhaltens depressiver Patienten im Krankheitsverlauf (Abschnitt 3). Zusammenhang der individuellen Blickniveaus von Interaktionspartnern (Abschnitt 4) Deskription eines Dialogs (Interviews) als Sequenz von distinkten Zuständen. In den Zuständen werden Sprech- und Blickverhalten beider Interaktionspartner miteinander kombiniert (Abschnitt 5) Analyse der intraindividuellen Wechselwirkung zwischen Blick- und Sprechverhalten (Abschnitt 6). Die Abschnitte 3 mit 6 werden durch vorläufige Ergebnisse illustriert.
The GVHRIL foHowing transplantation of small intestine are different from those found after bone marrow transplantation or spleen cell injections in that they show a remarka ble, significant prevalence of lesions within the intestinal mucosa. These findings are consistent with the observation that jntestinal lymphocytes newly formed in mesenteric lymph nodes predominantly home in on the intestine again.& The degree of histologic alteration within different tissues indicates that the graft and the host may survive the lesions of the lymphatic tissues, whereas the severe intestinal lesions following GVHR may easily cause death of the recipient. With regard to clinical sman bowel transplantation two statements can be made: (l) GVHRIL play a significant role in small bowel trans~ plantation. (2) To minimize their biologic importance, a selective elimination of the graft's Jymph nodes by irradiation or surgical resection should be considered in view of the remarkable difference between GVHRIL in lymph nodes and in the graft's intestinal wall itself.
The aim of this study was to determine whether o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile ( CS) exhibits any genotoxic activity towards Salmonella or mammalian DNA in vivo. CS was synthesized with a [\(^{14}\)C]-label at the benzylic carbon atom. It was administered i. p. at a dose level of 13 mg/kg (1 mCi/kg) to young adult male rats. Liverand kidney DNA was isolated after 8, 25, and 75 h. The radioactivity was at (liver, 8 and 75 h) or below (all other samples) the limit of detection of 3 dpm. Therefore, a possible binding of CS to DNA is at least 10\(^5\) times lower than that of the strong hepatocarcinogen aflatoxin B1, and 4,000 times lower than that of vinyl chloride. In contrast to this lack of DNA binding, but in agreement with the chemical reactivity of CS, a binding to nuclear proteins could be detected with specific activities ranging between 50 and 121 dpm/mg for liver and between 3 and 41 dpm/mg for kidney. Protein binding could well be responsible for its pronounced cytotoxic effects. Cs was also tested in the Ames Salmonella/microsome assay. Strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98, and TA 100 were used with or without pre-incubation. Only with strain TA 100 and only without pre-incubation, a doubling of the number of revertants was detectable at the highest dose Ievels used, 1,000 and 2,000 !lg CS per plate. With pre-incubation of TA 100 with CS, a slight increase of the number of revertants was seen at 100 and 500 !lg per plate, and a subsequent fall below control values at 1,000 J.tg. A check for the number of surviving bacteria revealed a strong bacteriotoxicity of the higher doses of es so that the calculated mutation frequencies, i.e., the oumber of revertants per number of surviving bacteria, increased with doses up to 500 !J.g. This toxicity could be counteracted in part by the addition of increasing amounts of rat liver microsomes. In the view of these results, and taking into account the rare and low exposure of man, it is concluded that CS will not create a risk for the induction of point mutations or of carcinogenic processes mediated by DNA binding.
Lack of covalent binding to rat liver DNA of the hypolipidemic drugs clofibrate and fenofibrate
(1981)
\(^{14}\)C-Labelled clofibric acid and fenofibric acid were administered p.o. to 200 g male and female rats. After 10 h, liver nuclear DNA and protein were isolated and the radioactivity was determined. Binding to protein was clearly measurable whereas no binding to DNA could be detected from any drug. A comparison of the Iimit of detection of such DNA binding with well-known chemical carcinogens revealed that the known hepatocarcinogenicity of clofibrate cannot be based upon an initiating, DNA damaging, mode of action but must be due to other, nongenotoxic, mechanisms such as peroxisome proliferation, hepatomegaly, or cytotoxicity due to protein binding. The risk assessment in man and the interpretation of the carcinogenicity data for rodents are discussed.
Psychische Beanspruchung durch Sprache und Blickzuwendung in Gesprächs- und Leistungssituationen
(1981)
Die Koordination von Blickverhalten und Sprechaktivität wurde unter folgender Hypothese untersucht: Die durch Sprechvorbereitung und Sprechaktivität bedingte kognitive Belastung führt dazu, daß die simultane Aufnahme bedeutsamer visueller Information reduziert wird. Generell wendet ein Sprecher nach der Darbietung einer verbalen Aufgabe den Blick von einer Informationsquelle zunehmend ab und wendet ihn erst zum Ende der gesprochenen Antwort wieder zu. Mit größerer Schwierigkeit der Aufgaben erhöht sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Abwendung. Nach diesen und weiteren Ergebnissen scheinen Sprechen und Blickzuwendung zumindest teilweise ähnlichen Regeln zu folgen wie andere simultan ablaufende Tätigkeiten.

This paper presents an overview of the research on nonverbal communication that has appeared in the German-language literature during the past decade, and gives some treatment of its relationship to Ausdruckspsychologie. Empirical studies, recent theoretical issues, and methodological developments are discussed. - Although nonverbal communication often plays an essential role in diagnosis and treatment, it has been widely neglected in academic training for the past 20 years. This inconsistency may partly be due to the outright rejection of the classical Ausdruckspsychologie during the 1960's. In order to avoid the fate of Ausdruckspsychologie, it will be necessary to extend our knowledge of nonverbal communication by means of further methodological development and empirical investigation
