Membrane vesicles isolated from Escherichia coli ML 308--225 have been analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and immunoprecipitates corresponding to the following cellular components have been identified: ATPase (EC 3.6.1,3), two or three NADH dehydrogenases (EC 1.6.99.3), D-lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43), polynucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.3.7.8), beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23), lipopolysaccharide, and Braun's lipoprotein. The cellular origin of many of the vesicle immunogens is determined, and Braun's lipoprotein is used as a marker to quantitate the extent of outer membrane contamination (less than 3%). Membrane antigens are also characterized with regard to their amphiphilic or hydrophilic properties by charge-shift crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Furthermore, the following immunogens cross-react with components in membrane vesicles prepared from Salmonella typhimurium: one of the three NADH dehydrogenases, ATPase, polynucleotide phosphorylase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Braun's lipoprotein, and three unidentified antigens. In the accompanying paper [Owen, P., & Kaback, H. R. (1979) Biochemistry 18 (following paper in this issue)] quantitative immunoadsorption is utilized to establish the topology of the vesicles with respect to the distribution of antigens on the inner and outer faces of the membrane.

The antigenic architecture of membrane vesicles prepared from Escherichia coli ML 308--225 has been studied using crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Progressive immunoadsorption experiments conducted with control vesicles and with physically disrupted vesicles were used to monitor and quantitate the expression of 14 different immunogens. Eleven immunogens, including NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.33.3), D-lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43), polynucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.3.7.8), and beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23), exhibit minimal expression (10% or less) unless the vesicles are disrupted. Three unidentified antigens are expressed to a similar extent in untreated and disrupted vesicles. Consideration of these and other results [Owen, P., & Kaback, H. R. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 3148] in terms of membrane polarity, dislocation of antigens, and possible transmembrane orientation of some immunogens reveals that over 95% of the membrane in the vesicle preparations is in the form of sealed sacculi with the same orientation as the intact cell. Furthermore, antigens are distributed across the membrane in a highly asymmetric manner, indicating that dislocation of components from the inner to the outer surface of the membrane during vesicle preparation does not occur to an extent exceeding 10%.

Isolated membrane fractions of Escherichia coli K-12 yielded complex immunoprecipitate patterns when Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate extracts were examined by crossed immunoelectrophoresis with antienvelope immunoglobulins. Twelve of the 46 antigens in the immunoprecipitate patterns of inner (plasma) membranes were identified by zymograms and/or by the use of specific antisera. The following enzyme activities were detected in immunoprecipitates: 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43); adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3); glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), two separate components; malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37); dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1); succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1); lactate dehydrogeanse (EC 1.1.1.27); reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3); protease (EC 3.4.21.1); and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5). The corresponding immunoprecipitate pattern for isolated outer membranes consisted of at least 25 discrete antigens and differed strikingly from that obtained with inner membranes. Two major immunogens were identified as lipopolysaccharide and Braun lipoprotein. A protease-active immunoprecipitate was also detected in this fraction, but attempts to identify the Rosenbusch matrix protein in the crossed immunoelectrophoretic profile were unsuccessful.

In the blood from 63 rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), transferrin, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, carbonic anhydrase II, phosphohexose isomerase, NADH diaphorase and leucocyte antigens were polymorphic. On the basis of these traits, paternity eliminations were determined for 29 offspring of 26 females from an established breeding group containing 8 sexually mature males. The dominance of the males was assessed by the directionality of the agonistic encounters. After examination of the results for two breeding seasons it was found that (1) the alpha male did not do all, or even most, of the successful mating and (2) there was evidence demonstrating increased reproductive success for males as a function of relative agonistic rank for the second but not the first of the 2 years.

Blood samples from 109 Siriono (Eastern Bolivia) belonging to the Tupi-Guarani group were investigated for enzyme variants in the following systems: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, phospho-glucomutase (locus 1 and 2), acid phosphatases, lactate dehydrogenase, NADH diaphorase, pseudocholinesterase (E1 and E2 locus), and serum alkaline phosphatase. The most relevant observations are: (1) A relative lack of polymorphism, a characteristic feature of the Amerindian populations studied up to now. These data are consistent with the hypothesis of a 'common ancestral background' in Indian populations whatever the degree of sociocultural and linguistic diversity, and the geographical distances. (2) Specific traits due to the frequency of alleles in some systems confer to that tribe a particular position among Amerindians. The effects of genetic drift may be postulated in order to explain the high rate of PGM and 6PGD polymorphism. Furthermore, in that small community, the disappearance of some alleles (pa gene) can plausibly be explained in terms of a balanced influence of mutational and selective pressure.

In the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the guinea pig, rat, golden hamster, and mouse the activity and distribution of enzymes related to the energy-supplying metabolism and of some marker enzymes of different cell organelles have been investigated by means of mostly modified histochemical methods. The results were compared with findings in the ciliated ependyma of the ventricular wall and with those in the ependyma of the choroid plexus of the third ventricle. In the ependymal part of the SCO only a moderate activity of hexokinase is observed in its specialized columnar cells whereas a high activity is present both in the ciliated ependyma and the choroid plexus. - The staining pattern of glucose-6-phosphatase is similar to that of hexokinase but this enzyme is found is the SCO only. - Likewise hexokinase, glycogen granules and enzymes related to glycogen metabolism (phosphoglucomutase, uridine-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase) are regularly found most numerous and active in the nuclear and supra-nuclear area of the ependymal part. These enzymes are less active in both the other ependymal regions. - Uridine-diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase could not be demonstrated in the SCO. The NADP-linked enzymes of the pentose phosphate shunt, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, show a moderate activity which decreases also from the nuclear towards the apical area of the ependymal cells of the SCO. Enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, such as glucosephosphate isomerase, fructose-6-phosphate kinase, fructose-I,6-diphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase, are highly active in the SCO and are located mainly in the supranuclear area, too. Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase could not be demonstrated thus indicating that in the SCO the pathway is most probably only glycolytic but not gluconeogenetic. Compared to the ependyma of the ventricular wall and of the choroid plexus, in the SCO the M type subunits of lactate dehydrogenase predominate. Glycolytic enzymes are also very active in the choroid plexus but less in the ciliated ependyma. Compared to the ciliated ependyma and especially to the ependyma of the choroid plexus, the activities of enzymes which are only present in mitochondria (NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase after preextraction, cytochrome oxidase, 3-hydroxybutyrate and glycerolphosphate and glutamate dehydrogenase) are relatively low. Mitochondria are accumulated near the superior pole of the nuclei as well as in the most apical part of the ependymal cells. - The staining pattern of NADP-linked isocitrate and malate dehydrogenase as well as of NADH dehydrogenase suggests that these enzymes are localized both in and out of mitochondria. The extramitochondrial activity of the first two enzymes might be localized in the cytosol. The extramitochondrial activity of NADH dehydrogenase might be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum...

Specimens of the seawater fish annular seabream (Diplodus annularis) were caught from a polluted harbor area and from a clean reference area. Seawater concentrates and fish-muscle extracts were not mutagenic in the Salmonella reversion test. Liver preparations of fish from the 2 sources were comparatively assayed for microsomal mixed-function oxidases and cytosolic biochemical parameters, as well as for the ability of S12 fractions to activate promutagens or to detoxify direct-acting mutagens. A shift of the cytochrome P-450 peak from 450.3 to 448.5 was accompanied by a 4.5-fold increase in arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase activity in fish living in the polluted environment. At the same time, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were doubled in the cytosol of the same animals, while reduced glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and GSH S-transferase were slightly yet significantly depressed. No significant difference was recorded for other biochemical parameters, including GSH, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) reductase, NADH- and NADPH-dependent diaphorases, and DT diaphorase. In parallel, fish exposed to polluted seawater exhibited a significant and marked enhancement of the metabolic activation of the pyrolysis product Trp-P-2 and of benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-diol, and at the same time were less efficient in detoxifying the antitumor compound ICR 191. Liver S12 fractions from both sources efficiently decreased the direct mutagenicity of sodium dichromate, and failed to activate benzo[a]pyrene and aflatoxin B1 to mutagenic metabolites. These results provide evidence that both biochemical parameters and the overall capacity of fish liver to activate or detoxify certain mutagens can be assumed to be sensitive indicators of exposure to mixed organic pollutants in the marine environment.

The genetic structure of two Chukot Evens subpopulations (314 individuals) for electrophoretic protein systems and taste sensitivity to PTC was studied. 17 of the 39 loci were polymorphic (43.59%). The following systems were completely monomorphic: diaphorase NAD H (Dia); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD); glutamatoxalate transaminase (GOT); carbonic anhydrase (Ca-1); catalase (Ct), lactate dehydrogenase (loci LDH-A and LDH-B); leucine aminopeptidase (Lap); malate dehydrogenase (MDH); purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide dismutase (SOD); phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2); cholinesterase (locus E1); red cell esterase (4 loci); albumin (Alb); hemoglobin (Hb A and B); ceruloplasmin (Cp); and blood, gren, using the standard method. The following systems were polymorphic: red cell acid phosphatase (AcP); phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD); glutamatepyruvate transaminase (GPT); glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1); esterase (EsD); adenilatkinase (AK); alkaline phosphatase (Pp); cholinesterase (locus E2); haptoglobin (Hp); transferrin (Tf); group-specific component (Gc) and ABO, MN, Lewis, P blood groups and taste sensitivity to PTC. The following allele frequencies for polymorphic loci have been detected: AKI = 0.994; GLO = 1I = 0.082; GPT1 = 0.653; AcPA = 0.400; AcPB = 0.599; AcPC = 0.001; PGDA = 0.944; PGM1(1) = 0.906; EsD1 = 0.897; E2+ = 0.048; HpI = 0.394; GcI = 0,919; Tfc = 0.987; r(O) = 0.669; p(A) = 0.184; q(B) = 0.146; M = 0.711; Le = 0.411; P1+ = 0.521; t = 0.295. The genetic structure of Chukot Evens population is significantly nearer to that of the other ethnic groups of the North-East, in comparison with the genetic structure of Evenks of the Middle Siberia.

Haptoglobin, phosphoglucomutase 1 and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase gene frequencies have been found for some Castillian provinces. The NADH diaphorase I, superoxide dismutase, lactate dehydrogenase, soluble oxaloacetate transaminase, soluble malate dehydrogenase, carbonic anhydrase I and carbonic anhydrase II are non-polymorphic red cell enzymes in Caucasoids and we have verified this in Castillian samples.

Hepatocytes were prepared from 15 degrees C acclimated catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and maintained in primary culture for 20 days on biomatrix at 7, 15, and 25 degrees C without hormones or serum to determine if cells can directly adapt to temperature. Specific activities of cytochrome-c oxidase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, citrate synthase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase showed acclimatory rate compensation (7 greater than 15 greater than 25 degrees C cultured); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase had activity changes of 15 greater than 7 greater than 25 degrees C cultured; activity of lactate dehydrogenase occurred in the series 7 greater than 15 = 25 degrees C. Protein synthesis of freshly isolated hepatocytes from catfish acclimated to the three temperatures exhibited acclimatory rate compensation. In contrast, protein synthesis of cultured hepatocytes occurred in the series 15 greater than 25 greater than 7 degrees C cultured. Protein degradation was highest at 25 degrees C followed by cells at 15 and 7 degrees C. Cultured hepatocytes showed incomplete temperature acclimation in vitro by way of enzyme activity changes and of protein synthesis. This suggests that some factor(s), such as hormones, is probably necessary to mediate the full temperature-acclimation process.
