Construction of Pta-Ack Pathway Deletion Mutants ofEscherichia coliand Characteristic Growth Profiles of the Mutants in a Rich Medium (1994)

Escherichia coli grown in a rich medium excreted acetate and reused the acetate. Using cloned genes and a plasmid with a temperature-sensitive replication origin, three kinds of Pta-Ack pathway deletion mutants were constructed. Acetate production and reuse by wild-type cells grown in the rich medium was confirmed to largely occur through the Pta-Ack pathway. The deletion mutants of the gene encoding phosphotransacetylase secreted pyruvate before the secretion of acetate into the medium. A deletion mutant of the gene encoding acetate kinase grew at a slow rate, but its secretion and use of acetate were rapid. These results indicated that a pathway(s), other than the Pta-Ack pathway, functions in the control of excess carbon flow in the mutants.
Cloning and sequence of a cDNA coding for the human beta-migrating endothelial-cell-type plasminogen activator inhibitor. (1986)

A lambda gt11 expression library containing cDNA inserts prepared from human placental mRNA was screened immunologically using an antibody probe developed against the beta-migrating plasminogen activator inhibitor (beta-PAI) purified from cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. Thirty-four positive clones were isolated after screening 7 X 10(5) phages. Three clones (lambda 1.2, lambda 3, and lambda 9.2) were randomly picked and further characterized. These contained inserts 1.9, 3.0, and 1.9 kilobases (kb) long, respectively. Escherichia coli lysogenic for lambda 9.2, but not for lambda gt11, produced a fusion protein of 180 kDa that was recognized by affinity-purified antibodies against the bovine aortic endothelial cell beta-PAI and had beta-PAI activity when analyzed by reverse fibrin autography. The largest cDNA insert was sequenced and shown to be 2944 base pairs (bp) long. It has a large 3' untranslated region [1788 bp, excluding the poly(A) tail] and contains the entire coding region of the mature protein but lacks the initiation codon and part of the signal peptide coding region at the 5' terminus. The two clones carrying the 1.9-kb cDNA inserts were partially sequenced and shown to be identical to the 3.0-kb cDNA except that they were truncated, lacking much of the 3' untranslated region. Blot hybridization analysis of electrophoretically fractionated RNA from the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080 was performed using the 3.0-kb cDNA as hybridization probe. Two distinct transcripts, 2.2 and 3.0 kb, were detected, suggesting that the 1.9-kb cDNA may have been copied from the shorter RNA transcript. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA was aligned with the NH2-terminal sequence of the human beta-PAI. Based on this alignment, the mature human beta-PAI is 379 amino acids long and contains an NH2-terminal valine. The deduced amino acid sequence has extensive (30%) homology with alpha 1-antitrypsin and antithrombin III, indicating that the beta-PAI is a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily.
Clinical application of mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest* (2007)

Therapeutic hypothermia is feasible and can be used safely and effectively outside a randomized clinical trial. The rate of adverse events was lower and the cooling rate was faster than in clinical trials published.
Analysis and modeling of impulsive noise in broad-band powerline communications (2002)

Contrary to many other communication channels, the powerline channel does not represent an additive white Gaussian noise environment. In the frequency range from several hundred kilohertz up to 20 MHz, it is mostly dominated by narrow-band interference and impulsive noise. In particular, the impulsive noise introduces significant time variance into the powerline channel. Spectral analysis and time-domain analysis of impulsive noise give some figures of the power spectral density as well as distributions of amplitude, impulse width, and "interarrival" times in typical powerline scenarios. Furthermore, the impulse rate and the disturbance ratio of the scenarios are examined. Finally, a statistical model of the time behavior of random impulsive noise based on a partitioned Markov chain is developed, which is suitable for implementation in computer-based communication system simulations.
10 Gbit/s unrepeatered three-level optical transmission over 100 km of standard fibre (1993)

The use of duobinary optic signalling is proposed for extending the dispersion-limited propagation distances at 10 Gbit/s without the use of finely tuned dispersion compensation techniques. Experimental transmission system performance evaluation over 100 km of standard step-index fibre at l.55 μm has been achieved with a penalty of only 0.5 dB.
Regulation of Gene Expression in Rat Prostate by Androgen and β-Adrenergic Receptor Pathways (1990)

Denervation of rat ventral prostate has been accomplished by excising prostatic tissue fragments and implanting them under the renal capsules of intact syngeneic rats. This resulted in a substantial reduction of expression of a major organ-specific secretory protein, prostatic binding protein (PBP). The depressed level of PBP and its subunits and mRNAs could be restored, however, to as much as 80% of control levels by the administration of a pharmacological dose of exogenous androgen, testosterone propionate (TP), and/or a beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol (ISO). Furthermore, compared to ascorbate-treated controls, TP and ISO increased the synthesis of total cellular protein and PBP by the prostatic renal implants. TP and/or ISO also remodelled the luminal epithelial structure and elevated secretory functions. ISO alone had no effect, however, in castrated animals, indicating that androgen plays a dominant role in the restoration of tissue PBP content. Concomitant to increased PBP content and remodelling of prostatic histomorphology, androgen was also found to raise the depressed levels of beta 2-adrenergic and androgen receptors in the prostatic isografts maintained in intact hosts. In contrast, although an established rat prostatic epithelial cell line (NbE-1) contains high affinity androgen receptor, androgen failed to restore beta-adrenergic receptor as well as PBP content in this cultured cell line. These results, taken together, suggest that a tight coupling between androgen receptor and beta 2-adrenergic receptor pathways may be a prerequisite for PBP expression and functional differentiation in the rat ventral prostate gland.
Characterization of the Mouse Islet-Specific Glucose-6-Phosphatase Catalytic Subunit–Related Protein Gene Promoter by In Situ Footprinting (2001)

Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is a multicomponent system located in the endoplasmic reticulum comprising a catalytic subunit and transporters for glucose-6-phosphate, inorganic phosphate, and glucose. We have recently cloned a novel gene that encodes an islet-specific G6Pase catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP) (Ebert et al., Diabetes 48:543-551, 1999). To begin to investigate the molecular basis for the islet-specific expression of the IGRP gene, a series of truncated IGRP-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) fusion genes were transiently transfected into the islet-derived mouse betaTC-3 and hamster insulinoma tumor cell lines. In both cell lines, basal fusion gene expression decreased upon progressive deletion of the IGRP promoter sequence between -306 and -66, indicating that multiple promoter regions are required for maximal IGRP-CAT expression. The ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction footprinting technique was then used to compare trans-acting factor binding to the IGRP promoter in situ in betaTC-3 cells, which express the endogenous IGRP gene, and adrenocortical Y1 cells, which do not. Multiple trans-acting factor binding sites were selectively identified in betaTC-3 cells that correlate with regions of the IGRP promoter identified as being required for basal IGRP-CAT fusion gene expression. The data suggest that hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 may be important for basal IGRP gene expression, as it is for glucagon, GLUT2, and Pdx-1 gene expression. In addition, binding sites for several trans-acting factors not previously associated with islet gene expression, as well as binding sites for potentially novel proteins, were identified.
Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) as Production Platform for Vaccines against Influenza and Other Viral Respiratory Diseases (2014)

Respiratory viruses infections caused by influenza viruses, human parainfluenza virus (hPIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and coronaviruses are an eminent threat for public health. Currently, there are no licensed vaccines available for hPIV, RSV and coronaviruses, and the available seasonal influenza vaccines have considerable limitations. With regard to pandemic preparedness, it is important that procedures are in place to respond rapidly and produce tailor made vaccines against these respiratory viruses on short notice. Moreover, especially for influenza there is great need for the development of a universal vaccine that induces broad protective immunity against influenza viruses of various subtypes. Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) is a replication-deficient viral vector that holds great promise as a vaccine platform. MVA can encode one or more foreign antigens and thus functions as a multivalent vaccine. The vector can be used at biosafety level 1, has intrinsic adjuvant capacities and induces humoral and cellular immune responses. However, there are some practical and regulatory issues that need to be addressed in order to develop MVA-based vaccines on short notice at the verge of a pandemic. In this review, we discuss promising novel influenza virus vaccine targets and the use of MVA for vaccine development against various respiratory viruses.

Indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. (1997)

The indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a diverse group of disorders that differ markedly with respect to presenting features and natural history. This article reviews entities that have generally been encompassed under the category of indolent lymphomas in various classifications, including the Working Formulation, although many were not specifically identified or labeled as separate entities. These include small-lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, the follicle center cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma, and nodal and extranodal marginal zone lymphomas, including mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. There is still a great deal to be learned about the basic biology and treatment of these disorders. Numerous variables influence the type of management used for each individual case, including the disease entity and stage, symptoms and real or threatened organ dysfunction, patient age, and medical condition, as well as the preferences of the patient and practitioner. Unfortunately, because of the inadequacy of current treatment, the majority of patients with indolent lymphoma will not be cured. Thus, continued investigation in the laboratory and through carefully designed clinical trials is essential.
Designing scaffolds for valvular interstitial cells: Cell adhesion and function on naturally derived materials (2004)

Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) possess many properties that make them attractive for use in the construction of a tissue-engineered valve; however, we have found that the surfaces to which VICs will adhere and spread are limited. For example, VICs adhere and spread on collagen and laminin-coated surfaces, but display altered morphology and do not proliferate. Interestingly, fibronectin (FN) was one adhesion protein that facilitated VIC adhesion and proliferation. Yet VICs did not spread on surfaces modified with RGD, a ubiquitous cell-adhesive peptide, nor with other FN-specific peptide sequences such as EILDV and PHSRN. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a highly elastic polysaccharide that is involved in natural valve morphogenesis and possesses binding interactions with FN. Hyaluronic acid was modified to form photopolymerizable hydrogels, and VICs were found to spread and proliferate on HA-based gels, forming a confluent monolayer on the gels within 4 days. Modified HA retained its ability to specifically bind FN, allowing for the formation of gels containing both HA and FN. Valvular interstital cells cultured on HA surfaces displayed significantly increased production of extracellular matrix proteins, indicating that HA-based scaffolds may provide useful biological cues to stimulate heart valve tissue formation.

Anabolic resistance: the effects of aging, sexual dimorphism, and immobilization on human muscle protein turnoverThis paper is one of a selection of papers published in this Special Issue, entitled 14th International Biochemistry of Exercise Conference – Muscles as Molecular and Metabolic Machines, and has undergone the Journal’s usual peer review process. (2009)

In healthy active older persons, there is no derangement of muscle protein metabolism. However, there is a major deficit in the ability of older muscles to regulate their maintenance during feeding and exercise. The dose-response relationship between myofibrillar protein synthesis and the availability of essential amino acids (EAA) is shifted down and to the right, and giving extra amino acids is unable to overcome this. There is no sex difference in basal or fed muscle protein metabolism in the young, but postmenopausal women have a greater anabolic resistance than older men. Anabolic resistance is also shown by the decreased phosphorylation in the PKB-mTOR-eIF4BP1 pathway in response to increased EAA. The muscle synthetic system is refractory to EAA provision, irrespective of the availability of insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1, and growth hormone. However, insulin is a major regulator of muscle protein breakdown, and there is a blunting of the ability of older muscle to decrease proteolysis in response to low concentrations of insulin, such as those observed after a light breakfast. Providing more EAA seems not to be useful, and modern N-balance data confirm that the dietary protein requirements of older persons are not increased. The sigmoidal dose-response relationship between muscle protein synthesis and resistance exercise intensity is shifted downward and to the right in older men. Decreased physical activity itself, even in young subjects, can produce anabolic resistance of muscle protein synthesis, which cannot be overcome by increasing amino acid availability. Exercise may retune the amino acid and (or) insulin sensitivity of muscle in older people.
Generation of Recombinant Immunotoxins for Specific Targeting of Tumor-Related Peptides Presented by MHC Molecules (2003)

Specificity in the immune system is dictated and regulated by specific recognition of peptide/major histocompatibility complex (MHC) complexes by the T cell receptor. Such peptide/MHC complexes are a desirable target for novel approaches in immunotherapy because of their highly restricted fine specificity. Expression of specific peptides in complex with MHC class I molecules on cells was shown to be associated with cancer and autoimmune disorders (1–8). For example, human melanomas express tumor-specific peptides that are presented to the immune
Efficacy and Safety of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Patients With CD33-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Relapse (2001)

Administration of the antibody-targeted chemotherapy agent Mylotarg to patients with CD33-positive AML in first relapse induces complete remissions with what appears to be a favorable safety profile.
Recombinogenic Flap Ligation Pathway for Intrinsic Repair of Topoisomerase IB-Induced Double-Strand Breaks (2000)

Topoisomerase IB catalyzes recombinogenic DNA strand transfer reactions in vitro and in vivo. Here we characterize a new pathway of topoisomerase-mediated DNA ligation in vitro (flap ligation) in which vaccinia virus topoisomerase bound to a blunt-end DNA joins the covalently held strand to a 5' resected end of a duplex DNA containing a 3' tail. The joining reaction occurs with high efficiency when the sequence of the 3' tail is complementary to that of the scissile strand immediately 5' of the cleavage site. A 6-nucleotide segment of complementarity suffices for efficient flap ligation. Invasion of the flap into the duplex apparently occurs while topoisomerase remains bound to DNA, thereby implying a conformational flexibility of the topoisomerase clamp around the DNA target site. The 3' flap acceptor DNA mimics a processed end in the double-strand-break-repair recombination pathway. Our findings suggest that topoisomerase-induced breaks may be rectified by flap ligation, with ensuing genomic deletions or translocations.
Identification of plant microRNA homologs (2005)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene and protein expression in plants and animals. MiRNAs have so far been identified mostly by specific cloning of small RNA molecules, complemented by computational methods. We present a computational identification approach that is able to identify candidate miRNA homologs in any set of sequences, given a query miRNA. The approach is based on a sequence similarity search step followed by a set of structural filters.
The Identity of Aggregate Supply and Demand in Time (1988)

Consider aggregate supply, p, and aggregate demand, q, both applying to the same period of production. There can be no doubt that p and q are the terms of a relation. Indeed, simple observation suggests that supply and demand ‘go together’. Without knowledge of the exact relationship of p to q, we know that in the actual economy p supposes q and vice versa. But what is the precise nature of the relation between p and q? It is interesting to note that the responses that might be given a priori are in fact solutions that have already been proposed in the history of economic thought.
Optothermal measurement of stratum corneum thickness and hydration-depth profile (1997)

Opto-thermal in-vivo measurements of stratum corneum hydration can now be evaluated to give hydration depth profiles from a mathematical model that incorporates both the surface hydration and the changes of hydration with depth beneath the surface. We now present an analysis of water diffusion in the stratum corneum that can be related to such measurements. The results are compared with measurements of changes of surface hydration and hydration gradient with depth in a stratum corneum stripping experiment. Surface hydration and hydration gradient information can also be combined to yield a measure of stratum corneum thickness, as illustrated with a measured thickness map of the volar forearm.
Defective Cardiac Parasympathetic Control in Patients with Heart Disease (1971)

To define the state of the parasympathetic nervous system in heart failure, parasympathetic blockade with atropine was induced after adrenergic blockade with propranolol in 12 normal subjects and in nine patients with heart disease. Atropine elevated heart rate by 55 ± 9 per cent in normal subjects, but by only 23 ± 8 per cent in patients with heart disease (p less than 0.05). In 23 control subjects and 22 patients, transient elevations in arterial pressure were produced by intravenous injections of phenylephrine, and successive R-R intervals were plotted as a function of systolic pressure. The slowing of heart rate per unit rise in systolic arterial pressure averaged 16.0 ±1.8 msec per millimeter of mercury in normal subjects but only 3.70 ± 0.8 msec per millimeter of mercury in the patients (p less than 0.001). Baroreceptor-induced slowing of heart rate in normal subjects was shown to be mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system since it could be abolished with atropine. These findings point to a profound abnormality in parasympathetic cardiovascular regulation in heart disease.
A Novel Catechol Oxidase Enzyme Electrode for the Specific Determination of Catechol (1998)

An enzyme electrode for the specific determination of catechol was developed by using catechol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.1) from eggplant (Solanum melangena L.) in combination with a dissolved oxygen probe. Optimization studies of the prepared catechol oxidase enzyme electrode established a phosphate buffer 50 mM at pH 7.0 and 35°C to provide the optimum conditions for affirmative electrode response. The enzyme electrode response depended linearly on a catechol concentration range of 5•10(-7)-30•10(-5) M with a response time of 25 sec and substrate specificity of the catechol oxidase electrode of 100%. The biosensor retained its enzyme activity for at least 70 days.
