The hemolytic Escherichia coli strain 536 (06) propagates spontaneous hemolysin- negative mutants at relatively high rates (10-3 to 10-4 ). One type of mutant (type I) lacks both secreted (external) and periplasmic (internal) hemolysin activity (HlYex - IHlYin -) and in addition shows no mannose-resistant hemagglutination (Mrh -), whereas the other type (type II) is HlYex -IHIYin + and Mrh +. The genetic determinants for hemolysin production (hly) and for mannose-resistant hemagglutination (mrh) of this strain are located on the chromosome. Hybridization experiments with DNA probes specific for various parts of the hly determinant reveal that mutants of type I have lost the total hly determinant, whereas those of type 11 lack only part of the hlyB that is essential for transport of hemolysin across the outer membrane. Using a probe that contains the end sequence of the plasmid pHly152-encoded hly determinant (adjacent to hlyB), we determined that a related sequence flanks also the hlyB-distal end of the chromosomal hly determinant of E. coli 536. In addition several other similar or even identical sequences are found in the vicinity of the hlyC- and the hlyB-distal ends of both the chromosomal and the plasmid hly determinants.
We have cloned the chromosomal hemolysin determinants from Escherichia coli strains belonging to the four O-serotypes 04, 06, 018, and 075, The hemolysin-producing clones were isolated from gene banks of these strains which were constructed by inserting partial Sau3A fragments of chromosomal DNA into the cosmid pJC74. The hemolytic cosmid clones were relatively stable. The inserts were further sub cloned either as Sail fragments in pACYC184 or as BamHI-SaLI fragments in a recombinant plasmid (pANN202) containing cistron C (hlye) of the plasmid-encoded hemolysin determinant. Detailed restriction maps of each of these determinants were constructed, and it was found that, despite sharing overall homology, the determinants exhibited minor specific differences in their structure, These appeared to be restricted to cistron A (hlyA), which is the structural gene for hemolysin. In the gene banks of two of these hemolytic strains, we could also identify clones which carried the genetic determinants for the mannose-resistant hemagglutination antigens Vb and VIc. Both of these fimbrial antigens were expressed in the E. coli K-12 clones to an extent similar to that observed in the wild-type strains. These recombinant cosmids were rather unstable, and, in the absence of selection, segregated at a high frequency.
The role of macrophages in primary and secondary infection of mice with Salmonella typhimurium
(1982)
Elimination of macrophages with high-molecular dextran sulphate (OS) markedly impairs resistance of mice to primary infection with smooth, virulent strains of Salmonella typhimurium, whereas stimulation of this system by killed Bordetella pertussis organisms increases resistance. In infection with rough, avirulent strains of S. iyphimurium the elimination of macro phages was not followed by an essential loss of resistance, and it appears that other non-specific defence mechanisms, for example the complement system, may have compensated for the lack of macrophages. Macrophages, therefore, play an important role in defence during primary infection with virulent strains. In immunity to challenge infection with S. typhimurium, macrophages play an even more significant role. Treatment with OS completely removes immunity, and both humoral and cell-mediated immune mechanisms seem to require the participation of macrophages.
Die Synthese von CsAg\(_3\)S\(_2\) und RbAg\(_3\)S\(_2\) gelingt durch Umsetzungen von Alkalimetallcarbonaten mit Silber und Schwefel in der Schmelze. Röntgenbeugungsuntersuchungen an Einkristallen ergaben, daß die Schichtstruktur dieser beiden isotypen Verbindungen mit der von K\(_2\)Ag\(_4\)Sa [1] verwandt ist. In allen drei Thioargentaten fanden wir die gleichen röhrenförmigen SilberSchwefel- Verbände. Durch eine verschiedene Verknüpfung dieser Verbände wird der unterschiedlichen Stöchiometrie der Verbindungen Rechnung getragen.
Die Struktur von Pentacarbonyl(schwefeldioxid)chrom (1) wurde röntgenographisch aus Einkristalldaten bestimmt. Die Verbindung kristallisiert mit acht Formeleinheiten in der rhombischen Elementarzelle (Raumgruppe Pbn2\(_1\)) folgender Dimensionen: a = 657,8(2) pm, b = 1245,2(4) pm, c = 2177,4(5) pm (bei 180 K). Das Schwefeldioxid ist \(\eta^1\)-koplanar koordiniert, der Cr-S-Abstand ist mit 219 pm der kürzeste bisher gefundene Abstand zwischen Chrom(O) und Schwefel. Die Cr-C(ax)-Bindung ist mit 189 pm fast genau so lang wie die Cr-C(eq).Bindungen (190 pm), ein Beleg für das hohe \(\pi\)-Akzeptorvermögen des S0\(_2\).
Die Struktur von Tetramethylammoniumchloropentacarbonylwolframat wurde rontgenographisch aue Einkristalldaten bestimmt. Die Verbindung kristallisiert mit vier Formeleinheiten in del' monoklinen Elementarzelle (Raumgruppe P2Jc) folgender Dimensionen: a = 1111,3(4) pm, b = 1110,3(4) pm, c = 1204,1(3) pm, f3 = 99,63(3)°, V = 1464,8 . 106 pm' (R = 0,028). Das Anion besitzt annahernd C4v·Symmetrie mit d(W -C(ois» = 203 pm, d(WC( trans» = 197 pm, d(W-Cl) = 256,6 pm. Zwischen Kation undAnion treten keine ungewohnliche Kontakte auf.
The metallo-arsanes CP(CO)\(_3\)M - AsMc\(_2\) (1 a, b) (M = Mo, W) are convcrted to the double arsenido-bridged dinuclear complexes [(η-AsMe\(_2\))Mo(CO)\(_2\)Cp]\(_2\) (3a, b) in the presence of [CP(CO)\(_3\)Mo]\(_2\). Due to the unusual mild conditions of aggregation the intermediate formation of the double bonded species Cp(CO)\(_2\)M = AsMe\(_2\) (2a, b) is postulated. The crystal structure of 3a is reported, which shows mutual trans arrangement of the cyclopentadienyl and CO ligands.
Die Kristallstruktur von 4.CH\(_3\)(C\(_6\)H\(_4\))-TI(S\(_2\)CN(C\(_2\)H\(_5\))\(_2\))\(_2\) (P2\(_1\)/c, a = 11,973(3) A, b = 10,692(3) A, c = 19,232(4) A, ß = 114,02(2)°, Z = 4) und C\(_6\)H\(_5\)-Bi(S\(_2\)COCH\(_3\))\(_2\) (P2\(_1\)/c, a = 6,395(2) A, b = 24,684(8) A, c = 9,732(3) A, ß = 101,38(3)°, Z = 4) konnte aus Röntgendiffraktometerdaten von Einkristallen ermittelt werden. Die interatomaren Abstände zeigen daß, die Koordination von Dithiocarbamat und Xanthogenat an die Metallatome wie schon vermutet stark asymmetrisch zweizähnig und ausschließlich über Schwefel erfolgt. Die Koordinationsunter· schiede zwischen Bismut und Thallium ergeben ein deutliches Indiz für die "stereochemische Aktivität" des freien Elektronenpaares am Bismutatom.
In den starren Molekülen 1- 10 reagieren die benachbarten parallelen C = C- und N = N-Bindungen nahezu quantitativ unter Photocyclisierung lU den l,2-Diazetidinen 11-10, deren Struktur spektroskopisch und für 13 durch Kristallstrukturanalyse bewiesen wird. Die in Abwesenheit der C = C-Bindung beobachtete Photo-Denitrogenierung unterbleibt selbst bei den empfindlichen Derivaten des 2,3-Diazabicyclo[2.2.11heptens. Photocyclisierung von 6 mit lwei zur N=N· Bindung benachbarten C=C-Bindungen tritt nur mit der Norbornendoppelbindung ein.
This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behavioral decisions that are based on knowledge about facts and values, whereas the impulsive system elicits behavior through associative links and motivational orientations. The proposed model describes how the 2 systems interact at various stages of processing, and how their outputs may determine behavior in a synergistic or antagonistic fashion. It extends previous models by integrating motivational components that allow more precise predictions of behavior. The implications of this reflective–impulsive model are applied to various phenomena from social psychology and beyond. Extending previous dual-process accounts, this model is not limited to specific domains of mental functioning and attempts to integrate cognitive, motivational, and behavioral mechanisms.

Intermolekulare Koordination bei zyklischen Esternder stibonigen und der thiostibonigen Säure
(1978)
Die Struktur von EinkristalIen des 2-Methoxi-l,3, 2-benzodioxastibols und des 2-Methylthio-l, 3, 2-benzodithiastibols konnte über Röntgendiffraktometermessungen ermittelt werden. Die Verbindungen kristallisieren beide monoklin mit Elementarzellen, die jeweils 4 Formeleinheiten enthalten, sie sind jedoch nicht isomorph. Als Raumgruppe ergibt sich P21/n bzw. P21/c. Ungewöhnlich kurze intermolekulare Antimon-Chalkogen-Abstände lassen in der Struktur des Oxastibols koordinative Bindungen erkennen, die in dieser Stärke beim Thiastibol nicht auftreten.
Die Titelverbindungen können durch Reaktion von Methyldibromstiban mit Natriumdithiocarbamaten bei tiefen Temperaturen (-78°C) erhalten werden. Bezüglich seiner Kristallstruktur läßt sich CH3Sb(S2CNEt2)2 gut zwischen dem entsprechenden Bismutan CH3Bi(S2CNEt2)2 und dem Arsan C6H5As(S2CNEt2)2 einordnen. Anzeichen für ungewöhnliche intermolekulare Wechselwirkungen sind bei dieser Verbindung nicht zu erkennen.
Lampbrush chromosomes of amphibian oocytes were isolated in the presence of near-physiological salt concentrations, to preserve their native state, and studied by electron microscopy of ultrathin s~dions. The transcriptional state of the lampbrush chromosomes was experimentally modulated by incubating the oocytes for various time periods in medium containing actinomycin D. The observations show that the structure of the lateral loops changes rapidly in response to alterations in transcriptional activity. During decreasing transcriptional activity and reduced packing density of transcripts, the chromatin axis first condensed into nucleosomes and then into an approximately 30 nm thick higher order chromatin fiber. Packaging of the loop axis into supranucleosomal structures may contribute to the foreshortening and retraction of the loops observed during inhibition of transcription and in later stages of meiotic prophase. The increasing packing density of the DNA during the retraction process of the loops could also be visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies to DNA. The dependence of the loop chromatin structure on transcriptional activity is discussed in relation to current views of mechanisms involved in gene activation.
The distribution of DNA in Ehrlich tumour cell nucleoli was investigated by means of an immunocytochemical approach , involving a monoclonal antibody directed against double- and single-stranded DNA. Immunolabelling was performed . either before or after the embedding process. The postembedding labelling method allows better ultrastructural preservation than the preembedding labelling method. In particular, the various nucleolar components are well preserved and identifiable. In the nucleolus, labelling is particularly concentrated over the perinucleolar chromatin and over its intranucleolar invaginations, which penetrate the nucleolar body and often terminate at the fibrillar centres. In addition, aggregates of gold particles are found in the fibrillar centres, preferentially towards the peripheral regions. By contrast, the dense fibrillar component is completely devoid of labelling. The results seem to indicate that DNA containing the rDNA genes is located in the fibrillar centres, with a preference for the peripheral regions. This finding suggests that transcription of the rDNA genes should occur within the confines of the fibrillar centre, probably close to the boundary region of the surrounding dense fibrillar component. The results are discussed in the light of present knowledge of the functional organization of the nucleolus.
Small nucleolus-related bodies which occur in the nUcleoplasm of " micronuclei" lacking nucleolar organizers have been studied by immunofluorescence microscopy. These bodies stained specifically with three different antibodies directed against proteins that are normally associated with the dense fibrillar component of functional nucleoli, but not with antibodies specific for certain proteins of the granular component or the fibrillar centers. Our data show that, in the absence of rRNA genes, the various constituent proteins characteristic of the dense fibrillar component spontaneously assemble into spherical entities but that the subsequent fusion of these bodies into larger structures is prevented in these micronuclei. The similarity between these nucleolus-related bodies of micronuclei and the prenucleolar bodies characteristic of early stages of nucleologenesis during mitotic telophase is discussed.

Es wird untersucht, ob die Azoren-Buchfinken "Rassengesang" und "Rassenrufe" haben. Gesange und Rufe wurden auf Tonband aufgenommen und klangspek trogra phiert. Motivgesang. Jedes cJ beherrscht 2-6 verschiedene Gesangsformen, wobei stets eine "Alltagsform" mit der stark vereinfachten Phrase di-djah endigt. Die anderen, weniger haufigeren Gesangsformen ("Sonntagsformen") zeigen eine besser ausgearbeitete Endphrase, die jedoch nie so kompliziert wie bei kontinentalen Buchfinken ist. In Gebieten, in denen sich bevorzugt Kanarienvogel aufhalten, konnen Buchfinken Gesangselemente iibernehmen. Sozialruf. Das kontinentale pink ist auf alIen Azoreninseln durch ga ersetzt, so daB man von einem Rassenruf sprechen kann. Er ist mit starker Aggressionsneigung verkniipft. Der Sozialruf zeigt einen weiten Frequenzumfang, hervorgerufen durch mehrere simultane Noten. Brutstimmungsruf (Regenruf). Eine Anzahl verschiedener Rufe wurde spektrographiert. Vom cJ ist er bei maBiger Gefahr, aber auch spontan (30-70 Rufe/Min.) zu horen. Flugruf. Er scheint mit dem Flugruf der Nominatform identisch zu sein. Bestimmung der Reviergrope. Ein cJ wurde innerhalb seines Reviers an die "akustische Leine" genommen und bis zu den Reviergrenzen gezogen. Verhalten und LautauBerung anderten sich in Abhangigkeit von der jeweiligen Entfernung bis zur Reviergrenze.
The present article had originally been conceived as a review on endomembranes, the plasma membrane, and the major product of membrane-bound activities, the cell wall material. However, limitations of space and the cascading number of pertinent literature articles made it necessary to confine this to one group of membranes and one type of cell wall components. Therefore, we shall begin our survey on the biochemical and cytological aspects of membranes by a review of the class of the pore complex bearing endomembranes, i.e. the nuclear envelope and the annulate lamellae (AL). Next year the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and the dictyosomes will be dealt with in conjunction with a discussion of the various intracellular vesicles, the tonoplast and the plasmalemma.
In order to investigate the chemical composition of the nuclear pore complexes isolated nuclei from mature Xenopus laevis oocytes were manually fractioned into nucleo· plasmic aggregates and the nuclear envelopes. The whole isolation procedure takes no more than 60- 90 sec, and the pore complexes of the isolated envelopes are well preserved as demonstrated by electron microscopy. Minor nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic contaminations associated with the isolated nuclear envelopes were determined with electron microscopic morphometry and were found to be quantitatively negligible as far as their mass and nucleic acid content is concerned. The RNA content of the fractions was determined by direct phosphorus analysis after differential alkaline hydrolysis. Approximately 9% of the total nuclear RNA of the mature Xenopus egg was found to be attached to the nuclear envelope. The nonmembranous elements of one pore complex contain 0.41 X 10- 16 g RNA. This value agrees well with the content estimated from morphometric data. The RNA package density in the pore complexes (270 X 10- 15 g/fJ-3) is compared with the nucleolar, nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic RNA concentration and is discussed in context with the importance of the pore complexes for the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of RNA-containing macromolecules. Additionally, the results of the chemical analyses as well as of the 3H-actinomycin D autoradiography and of the nucleoprotein staining method of Bernhard (1969) speak against the occurence of considerable amounts of DNA in the nuclear pore complex structures.
