Mating-type suppression of the DNA-repair defect of the yeast rad6Δ mutation requires the activity of genes in the RAD52 epistasis group

The RAD6 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for post-replication repair of UV-damaged DNA, UV mutagenesis, and sporulation. Here, we show that the radiation sensitivity of a MAT a rad6 strain can be suppressed by the MAT2 gene carried on a multicopy plasmid. The a1-2 suppression is specific to the RAD6 pathway, as mutations in genes required for nucleotide excision repair or for recombinational repair do not show such mating-type suppression. The a1-2 suppression of the rad6 mutation requires the activity of the RAD52 group of genes, suggesting that suppression occurs by channelling of post-replication gaps present in the rad6 mutant into the RAD52 recombinational repair pathway. The a1-2 repressor could mediate this suppression via an enhancement in the expression, or the activity, of recombination genes.     

An immunohistochemical study of bone morphogenetic protein in pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a potent induction factor for new bone formation including heterotopic chondro-ossification in soft tissues. The immunohistochemical reaction for BMP was studied in 23 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland by using a monoclonal antibody produced by hybridoma technique. Positive BMP immunoreactivity was seen in 87% of tumours. Immunohistochemical expression of BMP was observed in modified myoepithelial cells (88% cases), luminal tumour cells of tubulo-ductal structures (78% cases) and chondroid cells in hyaline tissue (22% cases). The authors concluded that the simultaneous presence of glycosaminoglycans as matrix substance and S-100 protein for calcium signalling are associated with BMP-mediated cellular activity of modified myoepithelial cells in the formation of chondroid structures in pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands.

Characterization of a strain-specific monoclonal antibody to hepatitis delta virus antigen

Sequences of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) vary to different degrees among isolates. A monoclonal antibody, designated as HP6A1, against the antigen of HDV (HDAg) has been characterized for its specificity. HP6A1 bound to HDAg of isolate 25 (genotype I) that was used for immunization, but not to others of both genotypes I and II. The epitope recognized by HP6A1 was then determined by a phage library displaying various heptapeptides. A consensus peptide deduced has the best match with that of residues 4-10 of HDAg (isolate 25). To confirm the phage mapping result, Escherichia coli recombinant proteins containing different lengths and various segments of HDAg (isolate 25) were constructed. The shortest HDAg segment contained in the fusion protein that reacted with HP6A1 was residues 1-10. When this peptide was added to the N-terminus of a heterologous protein engineered for eucaryotic expression, the fusion protein was detected by HP6A1. It is concluded that HP6A1 recognizes an epitope located at the N-terminus of HDAg (isolate 25). Since viruses of quasi-species exist in natural infections, a question of how different viral strains interact in vivo remains to be explored. The highly specific MAb opens a possibility to examine the fate of one strain in the presence of other related species in a cell transfection system.     

Characterization of damage modes in dental ceramic bilayer structures

Results of contact tests using spherical indenters on flat ceramic coating layers bonded to compliant substrates are reported for selected dental ceramics. Critical loads to produce various damage modes, cone cracking, and quasiplasticity at the top surfaces and radial cracking at the lower (inner) surfaces are measured as a function of ceramic-layer thickness. It is proposed that these damage modes, especially radial cracking, are directly relevant to the failure of all-ceramic dental crowns. The critical load data are analyzed with the use of explicit fracture-mechanics relations, expressible in terms of routinely measurable material parameters (elastic modulus, strength, toughness, hardness) and essential geometrical variables (layer thickness, contact radius). The utility of such analyses in the design of ceramic/substrate bilayer systems for optimal resistance to lifetime-threatening damage is discussed.     

人肿瘤细胞与正常细胞内微管的PAP免疫酶细胞化学观察

我们利用兔抗微管蛋白抗体和兔抗辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)抗血清制备的HRP—抗HRP(PAP)复合物,建立了微管的PAP免疫酶细胞化学方法。应用此法观察到人食管癌ECa 109、胃癌SGC 7901,乳腺癌MCF 7和成骨肉瘤OS 732细胞间期胞质微管减少或消失,只有大量弥散分布的微管蛋白棕色反应产物,在微管组织中心(MTOC)附近十分密集,而正常成纤维细胞和胎儿胃粘膜上皮细胞间期,都有发达的胞质微管结构(CMTC)。在分裂期,这些肿瘤细胞都显示纺锤体微管,与正常细胞比较无明显差异。本研究应用PAP方法进一步证明,以前用免疫荧光细胞化学方法观察到的人肿瘤细胞间期胞质微管缺陷的特征。除去低温(4℃)或秋水仙酰胺处理后,解聚的CMTC又可恢复,表明本方法与免疫荧光染色法,同样具有很高的特异性。本工作在细胞固定及免疫反应的某些步骤上有所改进。
