Abstract

We recently validated in-vitro a new mathematical approach to echocardiographic volume calculation. With this method all echo views are acquired from one point as the transducer is tilted. The angle of tilt of the transducer must be measured. A tilt frame was designed for use in-vivo that does not interfere with imaging. The method was then tested in-vivo by comparing echocardiographic stroke volume with stroke volume determined by the acetylene rebreathing technique. Normal subjects were studied with either lower body negative pressure or continuous isoproterenol infusion. The regression line was Echo SV=-19.7 + 1.2*Acet SV, with R=0.80, SEE=17.1, MPE=17%. We conclude that this is an accurate, non-geometric method for ventricular volume calculation.

Polyacetylenes from a marine sponge Petrosia sp. inhibit DNA replication at the level of initiation.

In the course of our search for bioactive metabolites from the marine sponges collected from Korean water, we found that the polyacetylenes of marine sponge, genus Petrosia, deliver significant selective cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines. The effects of polyacetylene on DNA replication were examined using simian virus 40 DNA replication system in vitro. We found that polyacetylenes inhibited DNA replication, and predominantly inhibited the initiation stage of DNA replication. Polyacetylenes inhibited the DNA cleavage by topoisomerase I, and also significantly reduced polymerase alpha-primase activity. The ssDNA binding activity of replication protein A was little affected by polyacetylenes. We suggest that polyacetylenes might inhibit proteins required to establish replication forks during the initiation reaction, and their cytotoxicities might be related to the inhibitory effect they have on this fundamental cellular process.

The Rhizobium etli gene iscN is highly expressed in bacteroids and required for nitrogen fixation.

Sequence analysis of the rpoN (2)- fixA intergenic region in the genome of Rhizobium etli CNPAF512 has uncovered three genes involved in nitrogen fixation, namely nifU, nifS and nifW. These genes are preceded by an ORF that is highly conserved among nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It encodes a putative gene product of 105 amino acids, belonging to the HesB-like protein family. A phylogenetic analysis of members of the HesB-like protein family showed that the R. etli HesB-like protein clusters with polypeptides encoded by ORFs situated upstream of the nifUS nitrogen fixation regions in the genomes of other diazotrophs. The R. etli ORF that encodes the HesB-like protein was designated iscN. iscN is co-transcribed with nifU and nifS, and is preferentially expressed under free-living microaerobic conditions and in bacteroids. Expression is regulated by the alternative sigma factor RpoN and the enchancer-binding protein NifA. A R. etli iscN mutant displays a reduction in nitrogen fixation capacity of 90% compared to the wild-type strain. This Nif(-) phenotype could be complemented by the introduction of intact copies of R. etli iscN.

Synthesis of alpha- and beta-glycosyl asparagine ethylene isosteres (C-glycosyl asparagines) via sugar acetylenes and Garner aldehyde coupling.

A convergent approach has been developed for the synthesis of C-glycosyl amino acids in which the glycinyl moiety CH(NH2)CO2H is connected to the anomeric center of the sugar residue by a three carbon atom tether. Essentially, these compounds are isosteres of N-glycosyl asparagines in which the amide group has been replaced by an ethylene bridge. Following the coupling of alpha- or beta-D-linked lithium C-glycoside acetylides with N-Boc D-serinal acetonide (Garner aldehyde), the resulting adducts were transformed into the final N-Boc-C-glycosyl-alpha-aminopentanoic acids via reduction of the triple bond, deoxygenation, and oxidative cleavage of the oxazolidine ring. By this protocol, 12 C-glycosyl asparagines, six pairs of alpha- and beta-anomers, have been prepared incorporating the gluco, galacto, manno, and the corresponding 2-acetamido-2-deoxy residues.
