The authors report 4 cases angiomyolipomas in which the preoperative diagnosis was that of a malignant tumour. They stress the difficulties of arteriographic and even histological diagnosis of these rare tumours of the renal parenchyma.

1. The localisation and some of the properties of rabbit kidney cortex guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophosphatase lyase (cyclizing) EC 4.6.1.2) have been studied. Upon fractionation of dissociated renal cortex, guanylate cyclase activity was preferentially enriched in fractions of pure glomeruli, where its specific activity was 44.5 times that measured in tubular fragments. Most, if not all, of the glomerular activity was found to be firmly membrane-bound, whereas the guanylate cyclase activity of the tubules was mainly soluble. Therefore, particulate guanylate cyclase activity could serve as marker enzyme for kidney glomeruli. 2. All hormones or hormone-like agents tested were without effect on kidney guanylate cyclase activity. Triton X-100 stimulated both glomerular and tubular activity. 3. Considering the high cyclic GMP forming capacity of kidney glomeruli, part of the cyclic GMP found in urine might be synthetized locally in these structures.
Several studies have clearly demonstrated that the end of the acceptor stem was a very important area determining the aminoacylation properties of tRNAs. However the attempts to measure the contribution of this region to the binding of tRNAs to aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have led to contradictory results. We report here the stepwise degradation of yeast tRNA-Phe and tRNA-Val from their 3' terminus, up to the seventh nucleotide : the affinity of each of the degraded-tRNA for their cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase was compared to that of intact tRNA and it was found that these affinities are not significantly decreased when compared to those of the intact tRNAs.
