The isolation of pure cholinergic nerve terminal sacs (T-sacs) from the electric organ of juvenile Torpedo.

The problem of synaptosome formation in the electric organ of Torpedo has been re-investigated using tissue from juvenile fish. This tissue is softer than adult material and can be easily homogenized in an Aldridge-type homogenizer. Homogenates so prepared contain a significant number of synaptosome-like structures which can be purified by differential and density gradient centrifugation. The purified particles are enriched in acetylcholine and choline acetyltransferase; they also contain lactate dehydrogenase activity, most of which is in an occluded form. The structure of these particles as revealed by electron microscopy is unusual in that they have no post-synaptic adhesions, relatively few synaptic vesicles and no intraterminal mitochondria. Because of their unusual morphology we have named these particles nerve terminal sacs (T-sacs). A high-affinity, hemicholinium-3 sensitive choline uptake system with an apparent K_m of 1–3 μm is associated with the T-sacs.     

Detection of the homology among proteins by immunochemical cross-reactivity between denatured antigens. Application to the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases from different species

It was previously proposed that an immunological cross-reaction between two denatured proteins is evidence for an homology betweeen their amino sequence (Arnon &; Maron, 1971; Arnheim et al., 1971) and that detection of such a cross-reaction could then be a rapid method to detect sequence homologies (Zakin et al., 1978). In order to test the possibilities of such a methodology, using proteins of known structure, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases from different sources are compared by immunochemical techniques. The antibodies raised against the native enzyme from E. coli K 12 can only recognize the homologous antigen, the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from B. stearothermophilus and to a lesser extent that from halibut. In contrast, the antibodies raised against the denatured enzyme from E. coli K 12 can recognize the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases from man, ostrich, chicken, sturgeon, halibut, lobster and yeast, when in their denatured state. The present results show unambiguously that through exposure of buried sequences, the immunochemical detection of sequence homologies among proteins is more discriminating when unfolded proteins are used, rather than native ones. It is also proposed that the use of denatured proteins both as immunogens and antigens would be a useful tool in studying biochemical evolution.     

Interaction of nanobacteria with cultured mammalian cells

Nanobacteria were recently isolated from human blood and commercial fetal bovine serum (FBS) and were located in the -2 subgroup of proteobacteria based upon their 16S rRNA gene sequence. They can be cultured even in the absence of mammalian cells, and have extraordinary properties, like very slow growth rate and an impermeable cell wall, making their detection difficult by standard microbiological techniques. Since they are present in FBS, and thus in cell cultures, it is essential to clarify their effects on cultured mammalian cells. In this study, we show that four out of six nanobacterial isolates from different sera exerted a cytotoxic effect on 3T6 fibroblasts verified by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] viability assay, lactate dehygrogenase (LDH) release and by direct microscopy. The cytotoxic effect of nanobacteria was attenuated after they had been subcultured several times. The cytotoxic effect was similar with all tested murine and human fibroblastoid cell lines. Differential interference contrast and electron microscopy, and FITC staining with specific monoclonal antibodies indicated selective, possibly receptor-mediated adherence, followed by internalization and cytotoxicity in the 3T6 fibroblasts used as a model in these interaction studies. Thus, nanobacteria have a special way of invading mammalian cells: they trigger cells that are not normally phagocytic to engulf them. These organisms seem to be an important cause for cell vacuolization, poor thriving and unexpected cell lysis, problems frequently encountered in mammalian cell culture.
