Figure 6. Effect of wild-type CD4 + CD25 + cells on the proliferation of STAT1 −/− CD4 + cells. (A) CD4 + cells were purified from the spleens of wild-type or STAT1-deficient mice as described in Materials and Methods. Wild-type or STAT1-deficient CD4 + cells were either incubated separately, mixed in a 1:1 ratio, or wild-type cells were CD25 depleted before mixing 1:1 with STAT1-deficient cells as indicated. Proliferation was then assessed by thymidine incorporation in response to stimulation with 1.0 μg/ml Con A in the presence of mitomycin C–treated APCs. (B) Same as in A, but cells were stimulated with 50 ng/ml anti-CD3 antibody in combination with 50 U/ml human rIL-2. (C) CD4 + cells were purified from the spleens of wild-type or STAT1-deficient mice as described in Materials and Methods. STAT1-deficient cells were labeled with CFSE and their proliferation in response to 1.0 μg/ml Con A in the presence of either unlabeled wild-type CD4 + cells or unlabeled CD25-depleted wild-type CD4 + cells (1:1 ratio) was determined by flow cytometry. (D) CD4 + cells were purified from the spleens of wild-type mice, depleted of CD25 + cells, and labeled with CFSE.

Figure 4. Analysis of IgH V region joints derived from B cells in ΔD mice. (A) Alignment of joints amplified from the RNA of 2-wk-old ΔD/ΔD and ΔD/JHT mice. The joints are shown from the codon immediately 5′ of the second cystein (position 104) of the V H gene and extending to the conserved glycine of the J H region. Sequences labeled with an asterisk use the putative D H element, DST4.2 (underlined). The sequences were analyzed using the http://www.DNAPLOT.de , http://www.imgt.cines.fr , or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast websites. In the analysis of bulk-sorted cells, some sequences were found repeatedly, as indicated by the superscripts next to the sequence numbers. As we did not observe repeated sequences in the single cell analyses, we consider the repeats in the bulk analysis an artifact resulting from the high number of amplification cycles. Two sets of sequences (1, 11 and 30, 31, 32) may represent hybrid sequences generated in the course of gene amplification by PCR (reference 27 ). Sequences were submitted through http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html in a consistent order (GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession nos. AY841948 , AY841949 , AY841950 , AY841951 , AY841952 , AY841953 , AY841954 , AY841955 , AY841956 , AY841957 , AY841958 , AY841959 , AY841960 , AY841961 , AY841962 , AY841963 , AY841964 , AY841965 , AY841966 , AY841967 , AY841968 , AY841969 , AY841970 , AY841971 , AY841972 , AY841973 , AY841974 , AY841975 , AY841976 , AY841977 , AY841978 , AY841979 ). (B) Analysis of joints from single cell sorted and bulk sorted or MACS B cells from 5- and 10-wk-old ΔD/ΔD or WT mice. Because of space limitations, only their productive versus nonproductive status is listed. (C) CDR3 length comparison of V H J H joints (excluding sequences using DST4.2) from ΔD/ΔD and ΔD/JHT B cells and V H D H J H joints from WT B cells isolated from 2-, 5-, and 10-wk-old mice. Gray bars represent average number of nucleotides in the CDR3 defined as starting after the cysteine in the 3′ end of the V H and ending with the last nucleotide before the conserved tryptophan of J H . Error bars represent standard deviations. To demonstrate that the difference in the CDR3 length of the joints from ΔD/ΔD and WT B cells is due to the absence of D H elements and only a single round of N and P nucleotide addition, the average length of D H sequence in WT V H D H J H joints (white bars) plus that of N/P nucleotides added in a single round (black bars) are shown on top of the CDR3 values for ΔD/ΔD sequences. The first group of bars represents a mix of sequences amplified from cDNA of 2-wk-old mice with a natural distribution of J H usage. The second and third group is from DNA of 5-wk-old mice sequenced using a J H 4 or J H 2 primer, respectively. Because J H element length varies, different J H elements contribute differently to overall CDR3 length. The last bar gives the average and standard deviation for sequences derived from DNA of single cells of a 10-wk-old mouse using J H 2 primer. Sequences from appropriately age-matched WT mice were are not available. The average D H element length in V H D H J H joints was calculated from the number of nucleotides of D H origin in the WT sequences of the corresponding group. To approximate the average number of nucleotides per one round of N/P nucleotide addition, the N/P nucleotides at the D H J H and V H D H border in the WT joints of a corresponding group were added and divided by the number of sequences and by a factor of two.

The percentage of doublet alleles was scored as a function of the early (▪), middle (▴), or late (•) BrdU patterns. The dashed lines for middle- and late-replication patterns indicate the time of appearance of these patterns during S phase (i.e., middle patterns first appeared between 2.5 and 4.5 h, and late patterns first appeared between 4.5 and 6.5 h).

Figure 3. Colocalization of β -globin versus DHFR doublets with sites of DNA synthesis during middle to late S phase. CHO AA8 cells pulse labeled with BrdU were subjected to FISH with either a β-globin or a DHFR probe (red) and then stained with anti-BrdU antibodies (green). Analysis was concentrated on nuclei that displayed type III or IV BrdU patterns (described in legend to Fig. 2 ). (A) (Top) Show examples of merged confocal images. (Bottom) Show the same images after computer-assisted colocalization analysis. After background subtraction, those pixels still showing colocalization of red and green signals were colored in yellow, whereas pixels showing no colocalization were colored in white. (B) Sections of the nuclear periphery from exemplary nuclei showing the proximity of β-globin doublets to the peripheral heterochromatin. (C) The percentage of doublets within type III and IV nuclei that colocalized with BrdU signal was scored. Data were scored independently for doublets found either at the periphery (defined as <1 μm from the edge of DAPI staining) or the interior of the nucleus.

Figure 5. The repositioning of type III sequences and the peripheral localization of the β -globin locus are completed 1–2 h after mitosis. (A) Asynchronous cultures of CHO AA8 cells were pulse labeled with BrdU for 30 min. Metaphase cells were harvested 3.5 h thereafter, creating populations of cells in which late-replicating sequences were tagged with BrdU (∼1/3 of which were type III). At 1, 2, and 3 h after release into G1 phase, cells were fixed and stained with anti-BrdU antibody, and the percentage of nuclei displaying a type III spatial pattern, represented by peripheral and nucleolar BrdU staining, was calculated. (B) Nuclei were isolated from CHO AA8 cells synchronized at 1, 2, or 3 h after mitosis and introduced into Xenopus egg extracts. At the indicated time points, reactions were pulse labeled in vitro with biotin-11-dUTP, and nuclei were stained with Texas red streptavidin. The percentage of nuclei from each time point that displayed either early (many internal punctate foci) or middle (peripheral and nucleolar DNA synthesis) replication patterns was calculated. (C and D) Asynchronously growing cultures (Asyn.), as well as cells synchronized at 1, 2, or 3 h after metaphase, were subjected to FISH with DHFR or β-globin probes and then stained with an anti-lamin A/C antibody. Confocal images were collected and the distance from each allele to the nuclear lamina was measured and divided by the radius of the nucleus at its widest point. (C) Examples of images found for either DHFR or β-globin at either 1 or 2 h after mitosis. A copy of each image is shown to its immediate right, with white lines to denote the measurements taken for the diameter and the shortest distance from the FISH signal to the nuclear envelope. The lamina was used as an indicator of the nuclear periphery rather than DAPI (as in Fig. 1 ) due to the occasional invaginations of the nuclear envelope that are not always detectable with the use of DNA dyes. An example of such an invagination is shown (2, a and b). Two β-globin alleles at the periphery, appearing as yellow FISH foci, which would be scored as a distance of zero, are also shown (3a and 3b). (D) Box plot representing the shortest distance between DHFR or β-globin alleles and the nuclear lamina. Data for each cell population were collected from ≥37 nuclei. Horizontal bars represent the 10th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th, and 90th percentiles, and the p- values for each pair of samples are shown. This type of plot indicates that 50% of the population is found between the 25th and 75th percentiles, and is represented as a box. Gray boxes denote DHFR alleles, and white boxes denote β-globin alleles.

Figure 6. UCN-01 inhibits replication checkpoint controlling replicon firing. (A) Asynchronous CHOC cells were pulse labeled with CldU and then treated with aphidicolin for 12 h either in the absence (extreme left-hand panels, +Aphidicolin) or in the presence of 300 nM UCN-01. At time points after aphidicolin addition (0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12 h), aliquots of cells were washed free of drugs, pulse labeled with IdU and then fixed and stained with anti-CldU (green) and anti-IdU (red). Images show typical nuclei observed at indicated time points in cells that were prelabeled early, middle, or late in S phase. Blank panels indicate time points at which IdU incorporation into cells with the indicated CldU pattern were no longer detected, as these cells have progressed into G2-phase. (B–E) CHOC cells were synchronized at the G1/S boundary, and then divided into groups treated in parallel as follows. (B) Cells were either washed free of aphidicolin (colored circles) and allowed to proceed into S phase in the complete absence of drugs, or as controls, cells were maintained throughout the experiment in aphidicolin alone (B, grey circles). (C and D) Cells were maintained in the continuous presence of aphidicolin in combination with either (C) UCN-01 or (D) K-252c. At the indicated times, all cells were washed into fresh drug-free medium, pulse labeled with CldU, and then fixed and stained with anti-CldU. The percentages of S phase (CldU-positive) nuclei showing the indicated replication pattern were scored at each time point. In addition, percentages of cells in B–D that incorporated CldU were also scored (E).

A third culture was incubated in parallel in the presence of aphidicolin and UCN-01. At indicated times after CldU labeling, aliquots of cells from each were washed free of drugs, pulse labeled with IdU for 20 min, and then fixed and stained for CldU and IdU. At each time point (minimum of 100 CldU-labeled nuclei counted), the percentage of nuclei that proceeded from early CldU-labeled replication patterns to either early, middle, or late IdU replication patterns during the chase time was scored. The percentage of cells that label with IdU decreases as progressively more CldU-labeled cells complete S phase and enter G2. Results are representative of two independent experiments.

Figure 1. Colocalization of origins used in two consecutive cell cycles. (A) Cells were synchronized at the G1/S border with aphidicolin, released for 10 min, and then pulse labeled with CldU for 10–60 min. Labeled cells were then synchronized in mitosis and blocked at the following G1/S. Aliquots were then released for 10 min and pulse labeled with IdU for 30 min and chased for 6–13 h. DNA fibers were prepared, and CldU and IdU were detected by indirect immunofluorescence (In vivo/In vivo). In parallel, aliquots were released for 5–30 min, and nuclei from these cells were introduced into Xenopus egg extracts containing biotin-16–dUTP. In vitro replication reactions were terminated at 30 min, and DNA fibers were stained for CldU and biotin (In vivo/In vitro). (B) Exemplary fibers for each of the methods described in A are shown. In these experiments, 1–5-μm gaps between similar length (1:1 to 1:2) stretches of label were considered to be origins. Based on the lengths of purified lambda DNA molecules, we estimate fibers to be ∼2.6 kb/μm, which is in agreement with measurements made by others ( Jackson and Pombo, 1998 ). Using this estimate, a 10-min in vivo pulse label highlights 10–20-kb stretches of DNA, in agreement with the estimates of replication fork rates in mammalian cells (30 nt/s [ Brown et al., 1987 ]). (C) Coincidence of origins labeled in two consecutive in vivo cell cycles (In vivo/In vivo). The distances between origins were measured as described in Materials and methods. Only double labeled (IdU and CldU) fibers were scored (note that most fibers were singly labeled). Origins were scored as coincident if the center of the gaps for CldU and IdU were within 2 μm (∼5.2 kb) of each other. Shown are the percentage of CldU origins that were coincident with IdU origins (percentage of time that origins used in the first cell cycle were used in the second cell cycle) and the percentage of IdU origins that were coincident with CldU origins (percentage of time that origins used in the second cell cycle were used in the first cell cycle). Results of three independent experiments are shown (CldU coincident with IdU was scored in two of those three experiments) expressed as either the total data from all fibers in all three experiments or as the average coincidence for the three experiments and the variation between those experiments.

Figure 2. Colocalization of origins selected for initiation in vitro with those selected in vivo. (A) CHOC 400 cells were synchronized at the G1/S border with aphidicolin and then released from the aphidicolin block for 10 min. Cells were then pulse labeled with BrdU for 20–30 min and synchronized in mitosis. At 1 (pre-TDP), 2 (post-TDP), or 5.5 (post-ODP) h after mitosis, cells were collected, and intact nuclei were introduced into Xenopus egg extract supplemented with biotin-dUTP. After 30 or 40 min, nuclei were transferred to fresh extract without biotin and further incubated for 1.5–2 h. DNA fibers were then stained for BrdU and biotin. Exemplary DNA fibers are shown that display either partial overlap between BrdU and biotin label that was not scored as coincident (B) or overlap that was scored as coincident (C; many fibers did not show any overlap). In C, the green arrowheads indicate BrdU-labeled origins, and red arrowheads indicate biotin-labeled origins. Yellow arrowheads indicate the overlap. Fibers do not always show yellow label. This may be due to the interference of antibody and avidin labeling on the same DNA sites or to recurrent binding of DNA fibers to the glass surface, which interferes locally with DNA denaturation and restricts the accessibility to epitopes ( Pasero et al., 2002 ). (D) The percentage of BrdU origins that were coincident with biotin origins (percentage of time that origins used in vivo were used in vitro) and the percentage of biotin origins that were coincident with BrdU origins (percentage of time that origins used in vitro were used in vivo) was scored as in the legend to Fig. 1 . Shown are the results of four independent experiments where data were collected independently by two different investigators in a double blind manner (coincidence of biotin with BrdU was only scored in three of those experiments). Data are presented as in the legend to Fig. 1 except that p-values are included to demonstrate the significance of the differences between results obtained with pre-ODP and post-ODP nuclei. Note that the increase in biotin origins on double labeled fibers is interpreted to reflect a clustering of origins at the TDP as shown in Fig. 5 .

Digoxigenin-dUTP was then added, and reactions were incubated for an additional 2 h. (B) Shown are three exemplary DNA fibers and a schematic diagram of how the interorigin distances were measured. (C) Images of DNA fibers were collected with a confocal microscope as indicated in Materials and methods, and both the lengths of the biotin labeled tracks, the number of tracks per fiber (on fibers containing more than one track), and the interorigin distances were scored. The differences in track lengths between 30 and 40 min are not generally statistically significant but are consistently longer for the 40-min labeling times, and the differences are consistent with prior measurements of the fork elongation rates with mammalian nuclei in Xenopus egg extracts ( Dimitrova and Gilbert, 1998 ). (D) Same as C except nuclei were incubated in Xenopus egg extracts either in the presence (+) or absence (−) of a nondegradable derivative of geminin to inhibit pre-RC assembly in vitro.

Figure 5. A similar number of origins localize to fewer DNA fibers at the TDP. (A) Using the fiber preparations collected in Fig. 3 , the percentage of DNA fibers displaying only one versus more than one origin was determined. Results indicate a significant increase in the number of fibers containing two or more biotin tracks at the TDP, with no further increase at the ODP. (B) Using the fiber preparations collected in Fig. 2 , the total number of biotin- and BrdU-labeled origins was scored for several fields of vision. For these same fields of vision, the number of fibers containing only BrdU tracks versus those containing both BrdU and biotin tracks was scored. Since preparations representing all three time points were derived from the same population of BrdU-labeled cells, these results indicate that a similar number of origins were used but that more origins were localized to early replicating DNA fibers after the TDP, with no further change at the ODP. (C) Aliquots of nuclei used for the experiments in Fig. 2 , isolated from cells at 1 (squares), 2 (circles) or 5.5 (diamonds) h after mitosis, were introduced into Xenopus egg extracts supplemented with [α- 32 P]dATP, and the percentage of input DNA replicated was determined at the indicated times by acid precipitation (e.g., 100% DNA synthesis would indicate replication of all genomic DNA). (D) In parallel, the same preparations of nuclei were incubated in extracts supplemented with biotin-dUTP, and the percentage of biotin-labeled nuclei was scored at the indicated time points. Given that the mean replication fork elongation rate is the same for each preparation (i.e., similar labeled track lengths; Fig. 3 ), the data in C and D provide independent support that the same number of replication origins are used with nuclei isolated at all three G1 phase time points.

Figure 6. Model for the progressive restriction of initiation potential during G1 phase. In early G1 phase, many sites distributed throughout the genome have an equal potential to be used as early replication origins. At the TDP, late replicating chromosomal domains become excluded from the pool of potential early replicating origins. At this time, origins within these early replicating domains still have an equal potential for initiation regardless of their position within the domain. At the ODP, a subset of these potential origins are chosen for initiation in the upcoming S phase.

(A) DTT reversed Cu/P potentiation of 417C. cGMP dose–response curves initially (open circles), after a 5-min treatment with Cu/P plus 128 μM cGMP (black circles), and after treatment with 5 mM DTT + 64 μM cGMP for 10 min (red circles). The smooth curves are fits with the Hill equation, with the following parameters: initially K 1/2 = 7.04 μM, Hill slope = 2.0 (black curve, right), after Cu/P K 1/2 = 1.61 μM, Hill slope = 2.8 (black curve, left), after DTT K 1/2 = 5.03 μM, Hill slope = 2.2 (red curve). (B) Time course of DTT reversing the potentiation effect of Cu/P on 417C. Normalized currents activated by 2 μM cGMP (black circles) and 2 mM cGMP (open circles) at +100 mV after a 5-min treatment with Cu/P plus 128 μM cGMP, and then various cumulative time in 5 mM DTT plus 64 μM cGMP.

F igure 5. Cu/P produced two populations of channels in 418C. Single channel currents measured at +50 mV were recorded before and after a 10-min treatment with Cu/P plus 2 mM cGMP for 418C (A and B) and CNGA1 cysless channels (C). For 418C, 4 μM cGMP was used to activate the channels, and for CNGA1 cysless , 2 μM cGMP was used to activate the channels. All-points histograms were made from the data collected under each condition (right, in all cases >5 s of data was used).

Figure 2. Sgk3 is required for normal hair coat production. Adult mice (P36 and P411) have a sparse, uneven hair coat (A–D) and irregular hair shafts when seen in profile (E and F). Whiskers are malformed (G and H). Plucked hairs (I and J) lack normal guard, awl, or zigzag hairs. Scanning EM (K and L) shows KO hairs to be irregular and thin with occasional malformed cuticles (arrowheads). Sgk3-null plucked hairs are shorter than WT hairs, with the exception of guard hairs (M). Histology of adult back skin demonstrates that a sparse coat is not caused by the loss of hair follicles (arrows; N–Q). Transmission EM (TEM) of P3 follicles verifies the presence of all cell types in KO follicles (R and S), including the three layers of the IRS. Note the normal keratinization of Henley's layer of the IRS in the upper bulb (asterisks).

Figure 4. Anagen maturation is impaired in Sgk3-null hair follicles. Histology is similar at P2 (A and B) but by P6, Sgk3-null follicles are smaller and fail to grow down to the bottom of the subcutis (C and D). At P6, the shortened KO bulb has a smaller, rounded DP relative to the long, thin DP of WT follicles (G and H). Apoptotic cells are seen in some KO follicle bulbs (J and K); although many P6 bulbs show no apoptotic cells, some have as many as six. Incorporation of BrdU in KO bulbs at P6 is reduced relative to WT bulbs (L–O). Arrows represent examples of BrdU-positive nuclei. (I) Quantification shows that total cell number is reduced in KO bulbs at P6, apoptotic cell number is increased, and proliferation is markedly decreased.

Figure 5. BrdU fate mapping distinguishes between models for reduced bulb cell number and proliferation. (A) Experimental design; mice pulsed with BrdU at P4 were chased for 12 or 20 h. (B) Predicted outcomes for three models. The percentage of Brdu+ cells reflects the percentage of total bulb cells that are BrdU+. The No. of BrdU+/Diff+/bulb reflects the cells per bulb that are positive for BrdU and are above the boundary (dotted lines) of differentiation marker expression. The percentage pf BrdU+/Diff+ is the percentage of BrdU+ cells that are above the boundary relative to the total. Distinguishing between an intrinsic proliferative defect in matrix cells (models 1 and 2) and a defect in the recruitment or regeneration of matrix cells (model 3) relies on the measurement of the percentage of BrdU+ cells. (C) Representative sections demonstrate movement of BrdU-labeled cells. Note that the total number of BrdU-positive cells at 20 h is double the number at 4 h, which is consistent with the expected division after S phase. This confirms that ongoing labeling beyond 4 h does not occur. Dotted lines mark the lower limit of hair keratin expression. HS, hair shaft; Mx, matrix. Bars, 20 μm. (D) Quantification reveals that the most likely explanation for reduced cell number is impaired recruitment or regeneration of progenitors. Error bars represent SEM.

(B) In response to 50 ng/ml IGF-1, Sgk3-null keratinocytes exhibit increased activation of ERK 1/2 and Akt. (C) In primary keratinocytes, IGF-1–mediated activation of ERK 1/2 is dependent on PI3K activation, whereas EGF-mediated ERK activation proceeds independently of PI3K. Cells were pretreated with 100 nM wortmannin for 30 min before stimulation. (D) PI3K-dependent IGF-1 activation of ERK does not indicate codependence of PI3K and ERK pathways; phosphorylation of Akt is unaffected by treatment with MEK inhibitor 444937. Cells were pretreated with 1 μM 444937 for 30 min before stimulation. Antibodies are against phosphorylated (activated) or total ERK 1/2 or AKT 1–3 proteins.

The membrane potential was stepped to −140 mV (100 ms), and then ramped from −140 to +60 mV (2 s) from a −40 mV holding potential. The protocol was applied once every 30 s. (B and C) I SOCE development after Ca 2+ store depletion with ionomycin (10 μM) in an oocyte (B) and an egg (C). Cells were injected with 7 nmol BAPTA to allow for I SOCE recording ( Machaca and Haun, 2000 ). The current at −140 mV (A, arrow) was plotted over time. La 3+ (100 μM) was added at the end of the experiment to block SOCE and obtain a measure of absolute I SOCE . (D) Representative I–V relationships obtained from the ramp voltage stimulation shown in A from an oocyte and an egg. I–V relationships were obtained by subtracting the current after La 3+ addition from the current before addition. (E) Time course of progesterone-mediated GVBD.

Figure 2. Time course of MPF, MAPK, and Mos activation during progesterone-induced maturation. (A) Time course of GVBD. GVBD i occurred at 5.5 h, and GVBD 50 ∼7.25 h after progesterone addition. At each time point, five cells were pooled to quantify kinase activity. (B–D) MPF, P-MAPK, and Mos levels during oocyte maturation. MPF activity was measured as the histone H1 kinase activity as described in Materials and methods. The levels of P-MAPK and Mos were determined by Western blot analysis using a P-MAPK–specific and anti-Mos antibody, respectively, as described in Materials and methods. In the case of MAPK, the same blot was reprobed with an antibody that detects total MAPK (T-MAPK) levels, showing that MAPK was present in the lysates but was not phosphorylated. To be able to compare P-MAPK and Mos levels between different experiments, we always ran a positive control lysate from eggs on every gel, and normalized P-MAPK and Mos levels to that sample. Therefore, Western data for P-MAPK and Mos throughout this manuscript are normalized to the same egg lysate (see Materials and methods for more details). The time scale is divided into two phases: after progesterone addition; and after GVBD. The 35-kD molecular mass marker is shown on the right of the gels. (E) MPF, P-MAPK, and Mos levels in cells treated with progesterone, but that did not undergo GVBD. GVBD i is indicated for reference.

This allowed us to obtain I SOCE (squares), MPF (circles), and P-MAPK (triangles) levels from the same oocyte. The data for individual cells are connected by drop lines to help in matching I SOCE and kinase activity from the same cell. For Δ87cyclin B1 and PD98059-Δ87cyclin B1 injections, current and kinase data from 40 and 33 cells, respectively, are shown. I SOCE levels were normalized to the levels in untreated oocytes, and MPF and MAPK levels were normalized to the levels found in fully mature eggs, as described in Fig. 2 . The time scale was normalized to the time at which GVBD initially appeared in the population (GVBD i ) after Δ87cyclin B1 injection. The standard deviation of GVBD i is shown in A and B ( n = 7). PD98059-treated cells are plotted on a time scale normalized to GVBD i in Δ87cyclin B1–injected cells (A and B). Individual cell data were fitted with a Boltzman function to obtain a general trend of I SOCE inactivation and the activation of the different kinases.

Figure 5. Correlation between I SOCE and Mos, P-MAPK, and MPF levels after injection of GST–Mos RNA. GST–Mos is a fusion protein between GST and Xenopus Mos, which allowed the separation between endogenous Mos (39 kD) and recombinant, injected GST–Mos (64 kD) (see Materials and methods). Oocytes were either directly injected with 10 ng GST–Mos RNA (A–C) or preinjected with 10 ng of GST–107Wee1 (Wee) 13–16 h before Mos RNA injection. GST–107Wee1 is a constitutively active form of the Wee1 kinase, which blocks MPF activation ( Howard et al., 1999 ). I SOCE levels recorded at various times after GST–Mos RNA injection. After I SOCE recording, individual cells were lysed and assayed for kinase activities. This allowed us to obtain I SOCE (squares), Mos (diamonds), P-MAPK (triangles), and MPF (circles) levels from the same oocyte. For Mos and Wee1–Mos injections, current and kinase data from 40 and 27 cells, respectively, are shown. The plotted Mos data is for GST–Mos protein levels, as endogenous Mos was not detected in these experiments. The data for individual cells are connected by drop lines to help in matching I SOCE and kinase activity from the same cell. I SOCE levels were normalized to the levels in untreated oocytes, and Mos, MAPK, and MPF levels were normalized to the levels found in fully mature eggs as described in Fig. 2 and Materials and methods. The time scale was normalized to GVBD i , the standard deviation of which is shown in A–C ( n = 5). Cells preinjected with GST–107Wee1 were plotted on the same time scale as GST–Mos-injected cells (D–F). Individual cell data were fitted with a Boltzman function to obtain a general trend of I SOCE inactivation and the activation of the different kinases.

Figure 6. Representative individual cell data from Wee1- and Mos-injected cells. MPF, P-MAPK, and Mos Western data are shown in conjunction with the levels of each kinase from a lysate of fully mature eggs (EGG). (A) I SOCE was activated in response to store depletion with ionomycin (10 μM) in an oocyte. MPF, P-MAPK, and Mos were not detected in this cell. (B) A representative cell injected with 10 ng GST–Mos RNA. I SOCE was not activated in response to store depletion. I SOCE was recorded at the 1GVBD i time point in this cell, i.e., at about the same time that GVBD first occurred in the population. MPF and P-MAPK levels were 1.3 and 1.6 times, respectively, higher than those in the egg lysate. GST–Mos protein (arrowhead) levels were 13.1 times higher than egg levels and no endogenous Mos protein (arrow) was detected. (C) A representative cell preinjected with 10 ng GST–107Wee1 RNA 14 h before GST–Mos RNA (10 ng) injection. We recorded I SOCE at the 1GVBD i time point. SOCE was readily activated, in response to store depletion, to levels similar to those found in oocytes. Injection of GST–107Wee1 effectively blocked MPF activation, which was detected at 0.2 times egg level. In contrast, P-MAPK and GST–Mos (arrowhead) were detected at 0.76 and 8.7 times egg levels, respectively.

(B) I SOCE was activated in a progesterone-treated oocyte before GVBD and continuously recorded until, and past, the time point at which GVBD occurred (arrow). At the end of the experiment, the cell was lysed in extraction buffer and MPF activity was measured. This cell had high MPF activity, indicating that the prolonged recording did not interfere with MPF activation at GVBD. MPF activation at GVBD is not able to block I SOCE that has been preactivated before GVBD.

Oocytes were incubated in Ca 2+ -free medium (L-15 with Ca 2+ , buffered at 50 μM), containing thapsigargin (1 μM) to deplete intracellular Ca 2+ store and activate I SOCE . Cells were voltage clamped in a Ca 2+ -free solution (70Mg; see Materials and methods) and then switched to a solution containing 30 mM Ca 2+ (30Ca; see Materials and methods) to induce Ca 2+ influx through SOCE channels. (A) I SOCE and MPF levels from a control thapsigargin–treated oocyte. (B) Oocytes were treated with progesterone (5 μg/ml) for 1 h and then thapsigargin (1 μM) was added, and the cells were incubated until GVBD occurred. I SOCE was measured ∼15 min after GVBD occurrence. I SOCE was still present in this cell, although MPF was activated at high levels, indicating that MPF is unable to block SOCE that has been preactivated before MPF induction. I SOCE (C) and MPF (D) levels in oocytes ( n = 5) and cells treated with progesterone 10–15 min ( n = 8) and 15–30 min after GVBD ( n = 7).

Figure 8. Proposed mechanism of CaMKII binding to α 1C to form a local and dedicated Ca 2 + spike integrator for CDF. A catalytic core and autoregulatory domain for a prototypical CaMKII inactive subunit is shown on the bottom left (inactive is indicated by green). Ca 2+ /CaM activation and Thr 286 autophosphorylation displace the CaMKII autoregulatory domain within the catalytic lobe to activate the subunit (yellow) and to expose an α 1C tethering site. The CaMKII holoenzyme remains bound to the α 1C COOH terminus even after removal of the Ca 2+ /CaM stimulus, and CaMKII dephosphorylation produces an inactive subunit. CaMKII may remain tethered to other cytoplasmic domains of α 1C as well. High depolarization frequencies would produce a threshold level of activated/autophosphorylated CaMKII subunits that increase the P o of the channel via phosphorylation of the NH 2 and/or COOH termini (top left). At low depolarization frequencies and under the influence of phosphatase action, CaMKII activation would not be produced, favoring a low P o for α 1C (top right).

Figure 2. Anatomical location and frequency of 69 A to G hypermutations. The hypermutations were recorded in the MV M gene open reading frame from one representative mouse out of five studied. 12 cDNA clones were isolated, and each position of A to G changes in the MV M is marked with an asterisk. Data showing the A to G changes from base 215 to 340 are displayed. For our initial set of five MV M sequences from this mouse, one MV M clone was isolated that possessed 20 A to G changes and also ablated a unique Alu I site within the MV M sequence. This observation allowed us to screen for additional Alu I − hypermutated M sequences from this as well as other mice. 11 additional hypermutated MV M sequences were uncovered using the Alu I screen, strongly suggesting that an MV with 20 A to G M gene changes arose, replicated, and underwent further mutation leading to a total number of 69 A to G changes. Quantitation of Alu I − versus Alu I + MV M clones from this mouse revealed that ∼40% of the MV M clones were hypermutated to A to G changes. The Alu I screen also revealed the presence and clonal expansion of hypermutated M genes in the other mice analyzed. These four other mice had 62, 91, 113, and 135 unique A to G changes, respectively. The clonal expansion of one MV M with a total of 69 A to G mutations is indicated. (bottom) Several of these mutations are shown and compared with the authentic sequence of the inoculated MV. a.a., amino acid.

Figure 3. Data implicating a dual viral hit mechanism for causing persistent MV SSPE-like infection. The first hit is immunosuppressive LCMV Cl 13 given i.v. at a dose of 2 × 10 6 . (A–C) When 10 5 PFU of MV is administered i.c. 10 d later, the neurons of all inoculated mice become persistently infected with MV. LCMV Cl 13 infects DCs (references 25 , 26 ) and impairs their antigen-presenting capacity so they cannot activate naive T cells or B cells. The result is transient immunosuppression beginning at days 4–5 after LCMV inoculation; peak suppression occurs at days 10–15 and slowly diminishes thereafter, lasting for ∼60 d. A–C are from three individual mice given MV 10 d after LCMV Cl 13 inoculation and killed at 150 (A), 200 (B), and 240 (C) d, respectively, after MV inoculation. Sections are peroxidase stained with antibody to MV, and abundant brown staining neurons are indicated by arrows. (D) Presence of CD4 T cells in the leptomeninges. (E) B cells around blood vessels in the brain parenchyma. (F) CD8 T cells in the brain parenchyma by themselves. Arrowheads in D–F indicate several of these lymphocytes. CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes and B cells were found in all three locations in four out of four mice studied 200 d after receiving MV and 210 d after receiving LCMV Cl 13.
