Methoden und Möglichkeiten der nucleophilen Acylierung (1969)

Abstract Unter nucleophiler Acylierung versteht man die Einführung einer \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ R - \mathop C\limits^\ominus = O $\end{document} an einem elektrophilen Zentrum. Nach einer kurzen Diskussion der Vorteile, die solche Acylierungsmittel bei Synthesen bringen können, werden die direkten Methoden (Reaktionen mit Metallacylverbindungen) und die über „verkappte”︁ Acylanionen verlaufenden Verfahren behandelt. Diese verwenden entweder metallierte Vinylätherderivate oder Carbanionen, die sich von Acetalen ableiten. Dabei spielen Lithiumorganyle von Schwefelstabilisierten Carbanionen eine wichtige Rolle.
Purification of the ryanodine receptor and identity with feet structures of junctional terminal cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum from fast skeletal muscle. (1987)

The ryanodine receptor has been purified from junctional terminal cisternae of fast skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The ryanodine receptor was solubilized with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and stabilized by addition of phospholipids. The solubilized receptor showed the same [3H]ryanodine binding properties as the original SR vesicles in terms of affinity, Ca2+ dependence, and salt dependence. Purification of the ryanodine receptor was performed by sequential column chromatography on heparin-agarose and hydroxylapatite in the presence of CHAPS. The purified receptor bound 393 +/- 65 pmol of ryanodine/mg of protein (mean +/- S.E., n = 5). The purified receptor showed three bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with Mr of 360,000, 330,000, and 175,000. Densitometry indicates that these are present in the ratio of 2/1/1, suggesting a monomer Mr of 1.225 X 10(6) and supported by gel exclusion chromatography in CHAPS. Electron microscopy of the purified preparation showed the square shape of 210 A characteristic of and comparable in size and shape to the feet structures of junctional terminal cisternae of SR, indicating that ryanodine binds directly to the feet structures. From the ryanodine binding data, the stoichiometry between ryanodine binding sites to the number of feet structures is estimated to be about 2. Since the ryanodine receptor is coupled to Ca2+ gating, the present finding suggests that the ryanodine receptor and Ca2+ release channel represent a functional unit, the structural unit being the foot structure which, in situ, is junctionally associated with the transverse tubules. It is across this triad junction that the signal for Ca2+ release is expressed. Thus, the foot structure appears to directly respond to the signal from transverse tubules, causing the release of Ca2+ from the junctional face membrane of the terminal cisternae of SR.
Obtaining a functional recombinant anti‐rhesus (D) antibody using the baculovirus–insect cell expression system (1997)

The cloning and production of a human anti-rhesus (Rh) D monoclonal antibody (mAb) using the baculovirus-insect cell expression system is described. This monoclonal recombinant antibody R.D7C2 derived from a human parental IgM lambda immunoglobulin was obtained after immortalization of lymphocytes by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The human heavy (VH) and light (VL) variable regions were cloned from the parental cell line and genetically fused to the human constant IgG1 heavy (H) and light (L) chain genes (gamma 1 and lambda, respectively). A recombinant baculovirus was constructed that directs the co-expression of genes encoding both genetically fused heavy and light chains under the control of two late and strong baculovirus promoters. After infecting the Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cell line with this baculovector, a complete IgG1 mAb was secreted in the culture medium indicating that each immunoglobulin chain was correctly processed and assembled with a functional glycosylation into a tetrameric form. In vitro analysis showed that the functional properties of R.D7C2 using agglutination tests were efficient for the specific recognition of Rh-D-positive red blood cells (RBC). In addition, R.D7C2 showed effector functions of the gamma 1 heavy chain resulting in the lysis of Rh+ papain RBC by an antibody-directed cellular cytotoxicity mechanism. These results demonstrate that R.D7C2 can be produced in the baculovirus-insect cell expression system as a source for potential therapeutic application in the treatment of the haemolytic disease of the newborn.
Mammalian Atg2 proteins are essential for autophagosome formation and important for regulation of size and distribution of lipid droplets (2012)

Macroautophagy is an intracellular degradation system by which cytoplasmic materials are enclosed by the autophagosome and delivered to the lysosome. Autophagosome formation is considered to take place on the endoplasmic reticulum and involves functions of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins. Here, we report the identification and characterization of mammalian Atg2 homologues Atg2A and Atg2B. Simultaneous silencing of Atg2A and Atg2B causes a block in autophagic flux and accumulation of unclosed autophagic structures containing most Atg proteins. Atg2A localizes on the autophagic membrane, as well as on the surface of lipid droplets. The Atg2A region containing amino acids 1723-1829, which shows relatively high conservation among species, is required for localization to both the autophagic membrane and lipid droplet and is also essential for autophagy. Depletion of both Atg2A and Atg2B causes clustering of enlarged lipid droplets in an autophagy-independent manner. These data suggest that mammalian Atg2 proteins function both in autophagosome formation and regulation of lipid droplet morphology and dispersion.
Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors and their potential role in therapy in leukaemia and other haematological malignancies (2009)

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as a key regulator of cell growth, protein synthesis, and cell-cycle progression through interactions with a number of signalling pathways, including PI3K/AKT, ras, TCL1, and BCR/ABL. Many haematological malignancies have aberrant activation of the mTOR and related signalling pathways. Accordingly, mTOR inhibitors, a class of signal transduction inhibitors that were originally developed as immunosuppressive agents, are being investigated in preclinical models and clinical trials for a number of haematological malignancies. Sirolimus and second-generation mTOR inhibitors, such as temsirolimus and everolimus, are safe and relatively well-tolerated, making them potentially attractive as single agents or in combination with conventional cytotoxics and other targeted therapies. Promising early clinical data suggests activity of mTOR inhibitors in a number of haematological diseases, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic myeloid leukaemia, mantle cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and lymphoproliferative disorders. This review describes the rationale for using mTOR inhibitors in a variety of haematological diseases with a focus on their use in leukaemia.
Do You See What I See?<Subtitle>Detecting Hidden Streaming Cameras Through Similarity of Simultaneous Observation (2019)

Small, low-cost, wireless cameras are becoming increasingly commonplace making surreptitious observation of people more difficult to detect. Previous work in detecting hidden cameras has only addressed limited environments in small spaces where the user has significant control of the environment. To address this problem in a less constrained scope of environments, we introduce the concept of similarity of simultaneous observation where the user utilizes a camera (Wi-Fi camera, camera on a mobile phone or laptop) to compare timing patterns of data transmitted by potentially hidden cameras and the timing patterns that are expected from the scene that the known camera is recording. To analyze the patterns, we applied several similarity measures and demonstrated an accuracy of over 87% and and F1 score of 0.88 using an efficient threshold-based classification. Furthermore, we used our data set to train a neural network and saw improved results with accuracy as high as 97% and an F1 score over 0.95 for both indoors and outdoors settings. From these results, we conclude that similarity of simultaneous observation is a feasible method for detecting hidden wireless cameras that are streaming video of a user. Our work removes significant limitations that have been put on previous detection methods.
Reliable Calculation of the Efficacy of Non-Surgical and Surgical Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Revisited (2011)

Using a mean AHI in CPAP therapy is more realistic than using arbitrary compliance rates, which, in fact, hide insufficient reductions in AHI.
Practical network support for IP traceback (2000)

This paper describes a technique for tracing anonymous packet flooding attacks in the Internet back towards their source. This work is motivated by the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service attacks and by the difficulty in tracing packets with incorrect, or ``spoofed'', source addresses. In this paper we describe a general purpose traceback mechanism based on probabilistic packet marking in the network. Our approach allows a victim to identify the network path(s) traversed by attack traffic without requiring interactive operational support from Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Moreover, this traceback can be performed ``post-mortem'' -- after an attack has completed. We present an implementation of this technology that is incrementally deployable, (mostly) backwards compatible and can be efficiently implemented using conventional technology.
In situ absorptivity measurements of metallic powders during laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (2017)

The effective absorptivity of continuous wave 1070 nm laser light has been studied for bare and metal powder-coated discs of 316L stainless steel as well as for aluminum alloy 1100 and tungsten by use of direct calorimetric measurements. After carefully validating the applicability of the method, the effective absorptivity is plotted as a function of incident laser power from 30 up to ≈540 W for scanning speeds of 100, 500 and 1500 mm s−1. The effective absorptivity versus power curves of the bulk materials typically show a slight change in effective absorptivity from 30 W until the onset of the formation of a recoil pressure-induced surface depression. As observed using high-speed video, this change in surface morphology leads to an increase in absorption of the laser light. At the higher powers beyond the keyhole transition, a saturation value is reached for both bare discs and powder-coated disks. For ≈100 μm thick powder layers, the measured absorptivity was found to be two times that of the bare polished discs for low-laser power. There is a sharp decrease when full melting of the powder tracks is achieved, followed by a keyhole-driven increase at higher powers, similar to the bare disc case. It is shown that, under conditions associated with laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing, absorptivity values can vary greatly, and differ from both powder-layer measurements and liquid metal estimates from the literature.
Dispersion of Nanoparticles in Different Media Importantly Determines the Composition of Their Protein Corona (2017)

Protein corona of nanoparticles (NPs), which forms when these particles come in to contact with protein-containing fluids, is considered as an overlooked factor in nanomedicine. Through numerous studies it has been becoming increasingly evident that it importantly dictates the interaction of NPs with their surroundings. Several factors that determine the compositions of NPs protein corona have been identified in recent years, but one has remained largely ignored-the composition of media used for dispersion of NPs. Here, we determined the effect of dispersion media on the composition of protein corona of polyacrylic acid-coated cobalt ferrite NPs (PAA NPs) and silica NPs. Our results confirmed some of the basic premises such as NPs type-dependent specificity of the protein corona. But more importantly, we demonstrated the effect of the dispersion media on the protein corona composition. The differences between constituents of the media used for dispersion of NPs, such as divalent ions and macromolecules were responsible for the differences in protein corona composition formed in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS). Our results suggest that the protein corona composition is a complex function of the constituents present in the media used for dispersion of NPs. Regardless of the dispersion media and FBS concentration, majority of proteins from either PAA NPs or silica NPs coronas were involved in the process of transport and hemostasis. Interestingly, corona of silica NPs contained three complement system related proteins: complement factor H, complement C3 and complement C4 while PAA NPs bound only one immune system related protein, α-2-glycoprotein. Importantly, relative abundance of complement C3 protein in corona of silica NPs was increased when NPs were dispersed in NaCl, which further implies the relevance of dispersion media used to prepare NPs.
Secretin and its C-terminal hexapeptide potentiates insulin release in mouse islets (1986)

Peptides representing the C-terminal end of secretin were synthetized and their effects tested along with secretin on column-perifused isolated mouse pancreatic islets. Insulin release induced by 10 mmol/l D-glucose was potentiated by secretin tested in a concentration range of 0.01-10 micrograms/ml; the maximal effect was obtained with 1 microgram/ml secretin. This effect was mimicked by 50-500 micrograms/ml NH2-Leu-Leu-Gln-Gly-Leu-Val-NH2, [S-(22-27)], which represents an amidated C-terminal sequence of the secretin molecule. The consecutive smaller secretin C-terminal peptides had either no effects [Val-NH2, S-(24-27)] or only marginally [S-(26-27), S-(23-27)] potentiating effects on insulin release in the presence of 10 mmol/l D-glucose. The effects of secretin and S-(22-27) were not influenced by 2 mmol/l glutamine. The intact hormone and the five synthetic peptides as well as Val-NH2 had no stimulatory effect on islet glutamate dehydrogenase activity. In fact, S-(23-27), S-(24-27), and S-(25-27) inhibited the islet glutamate dehydrogenase activity, the activation by which amino acids and amino acid derivatives are known to elicit a potentiation of insulin release. Our results suggest that the C-terminal part is important to the marked potentiation of glucose-induced insulin release in vitro by secretin.
The Genome Sequence of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (1998)

The genomic DNA sequence of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) strain HG52 was determined as 154,746 bp with a G+C content of 70.4%. A total of 74 genes encoding distinct proteins was identified; three of these were each present in two copies, within major repeat elements of the genome. The HSV-2 gene set corresponds closely with that of HSV-1, and the HSV-2 sequence prompted several local revisions to the published HSV-1 sequence (D. J. McGeoch, M. A. Dalrymple, A. J. Davison, A. Dolan, M. C. Frame, D. McNab, L. J. Perry, J. E. Scott, and P. Taylor, J. Gen. Virol. 69:1531-1574, 1988). No compelling evidence for the existence of any additional protein-coding genes in HSV-2 was identified.

Cytochrome P450-Dependent Metabolism of Oxylipins in Tomato. Cloning and Expression of Allene Oxide Synthase and Fatty Acid Hydroperoxide Lyase (2000)

Allene oxide synthase (AOS) and fatty acid hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) are plant-specific cytochrome P450s that commit fatty acid hydroperoxides to different branches of oxylipin metabolism. Here we report the cloning and characterization of AOS (LeAOS) and HPL (LeHPL) cDNAs from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). Functional expression of the cDNAs in Escherichia coli showed that LeAOS and LeHPL encode enzymes that metabolize 13- but not 9-hydroperoxide derivatives of C(18) fatty acids. LeAOS was active against both 13S-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E),15(Z)-octadecatrienoic acid (13-HPOT) and 13S-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid, whereas LeHPL showed a strong preference for 13-HPOT. These results suggest a role for LeAOS and LeHPL in the metabolism of 13-HPOT to jasmonic acid and hexenal/traumatin, respectively. LeAOS expression was detected in all organs of the plant. In contrast, LeHPL expression was predominant in leaves and flowers. Damage inflicted to leaves by chewing insect larvae led to an increase in the local and systemic expression of both genes, with LeAOS showing the strongest induction. Wound-induced expression of LeAOS also occurred in the def-1 mutant that is deficient in octadecanoid-based signaling of defensive proteinase inhibitor genes. These results demonstrate that tomato uses genetically distinct signaling pathways for the regulation of different classes of wound responsive genes.
Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Retinal Fundus Photographs (2016)

In this evaluation of retinal fundus photographs from adults with diabetes, an algorithm based on deep machine learning had high sensitivity and specificity for detecting referable diabetic retinopathy. Further research is necessary to determine the feasibility of applying this algorithm in the clinical setting and to determine whether use of the algorithm could lead to improved care and outcomes compared with current ophthalmologic assessment.
A Japanese Encephalitis Virus Peptide Present on Johnson Grass Mosaic Virus-Like Particles Induces Virus-Neutralizing Antibodies and Protects Mice against Lethal Challenge (2003)

Protection against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is antibody dependent, and neutralizing antibodies alone are sufficient to impart protection. Thus, we are aiming to develop a peptide-based vaccine against JEV by identifying JEV peptide sequences that could induce virus-neutralizing antibodies. Previously, we have synthesized large amounts of Johnson grass mosaic virus (JGMV) coat protein (CP) in Escherichia coli and have shown that it autoassembled to form virus-like particles (VLPs). The envelope (E) protein of JEV contains the virus-neutralization epitopes. Four peptides from different locations within JEV E protein were chosen, and these were fused to JGMV CP by recombinant DNA methods. The fusion protein autoassembled to form VLPs that could be purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Immunization of mice with the recombinant VLPs containing JEV peptide sequences induced anti-peptide and anti-JEV antibodies. A 27-amino-acid peptide containing amino acids 373 to 399 from JEV E protein, present on JGMV VLPs, induced virus-neutralizing antibodies. Importantly, these antibodies were obtained without the use of an adjuvant. The immunized mice showed significant protection against a lethal JEV challenge.
Roles of MAPKKK ASK1 in Stress-Induced Cell Death. (2003)

Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a ubiquitously expressed mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase kinase that activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase signaling cascades. Recent findings from analyses of ASK1-deficient mice have revealed that ASK1 is required for apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, TNF and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In addition, several lines of evidence have suggested that ASK1 has diverse functions in the decision of cell fate beyond its pro-apoptotic activity. Thus, ASK1 appears to be a pivotal component not only in stress-induced cell death but also in a broad range of biological activities in order for cells to adapt to or oppose various stresses.
Allopregnanolone (3α-Hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one) Derivatives with a Polar Chain in Position 16α: Synthesis and Activity (2009)

The lipophilic nature of allopregnanolone prevents its user-friendly application in human medicine. On inspiration by previously prepared allopregnanolone with a 16alpha-bound tetraethylammonium salt, an attempt was made to produce allopregnanolone analogues with polar groups introduced into position 16alpha with the goal of increasing water solubility, brain accessibility, and potency of neuroactive steroids. The Michael addition to derivatives of pregn-16-en-20-one was the key reaction step. The link between the steroid skeleton and the new side chain was either a methylene group (when diethyl malonate was added) or an oxygen atom (when a hydroxy derivative was added). [(35)S]TBPS displacement was used to evaluate the products. Several carbamates (but not their parent alcohols) displaced TBPS from the picrotoxin binding site on GABA(A) receptors. Although none of them was more potent than the above ammonium salt, which stimulated this study, their nonionic nature should not prevent their passage into the brain.

Cell Cycle Analysis Using Flow Cytometry (1986)

This manuscript reviews the utility of flow cytometry for the study of cell proliferation. The applications of univariate DNA distribution analysis to cytokinetic studies of asynchronous and perturbed cell populations are discussed briefly. The newly developed technique for simultaneous flow cytometric measurement of cellular DNA content and amount of incorporated bromodeoxyuridine is discussed in more detail. The cytochemistry required for this analysis is reviewed as are its applications to: determination of the fractions of cells in the G1-, S- and G2 + M-phases of the cell cycle; determination of the G1-, S- and G2 + M phase durations and dispersions and growth fraction for asynchronous cells; detection of ara-C resistant cells present at low frequency in an otherwise sensitive population; and analysis of the cytokinetic response of a solid murine tumour to treatment in vivo with a cell cycle specific agent.
