DNA sequence of the araC regulatory gene from Escherichia coli B/r.

The DNA sequence of the araC regulatory gene from Escherichia coli B/r has been determined by the base-specific chemical cleavage reactions of Maxam and Gilbert. An open reading frame is found which codes for a protein of 292 amino acids. A nonsense mutation, araC5, is shown to result from a G to A transition at nucleotide 429 converting the tryptophan codon TGG to the amber codon TAG. A deletion which does not recombine with any known point mutation in araC, delta(araCO)719, removes all but the last 22 codons of the gene.

Prediction of dosage of lithium carbonate: use of a standard predictive method.

The nomogram developed by Cooper and associates used to predict the dose of Lithium Carbonate (Li+) which is needed to attain therapeutic Li+ concentrations has, in general, proven to be accurate and clinically useful. However, there may be some patients in whom the pharmacokinetic disposition of Li+ varies sufficiently so that accurate dosage predictions cannot be made; a report of one such patient is given.

Specific endonucleases in Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Two strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens were found to contain restriction endodeoxynucleases; S. aureofaciens IKA 18/4 contains Sau I which splits lambda DNA into three fragments, S. aureofaciens IKA 22201 Sau Ii which splits lambda DNA into more than 15 fragments.

Ribosomal ribonucleic acids from Streptomyces griseus.

Nucleic acids from Streptomyces griseus 178 were isolated during cultivation. After their fractionation on a column of methylated serum albumin adsorbed on Kieselguhr, the 16 S and 23 S RNA were isolated. To characterize RNAs their sedimentation coefficients, Tm and nucleotide composition were determined. During cultivation of S. griseus 178 rRNA level reaches two maximum peaks and the production of streptomycin influences nucleic aicds of the producer organism.
