Chromosomal location of genes regulating resistance to bacteriophage in Bacillus subtilis.

Many of the viruses which infect Bacillus subtilis require glucosylated polyglycerol teichoic acid for adsorption. These mutants can be divided into three classes on the basis of enzymatic defects and growth on galactose-minimal medium. Transduction with phage PBS1 reveals that two of these, gtaA and gtaB, are linked to hisA1, whereas the gtaC locus is linked to argC. Analysis by deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation indicates that these loci exist in a cluster between the hisA1 and argC4 loci. Anomalies in mapping in the group II region of the chromosome exist. The basis of these anomalies is discussed.

Localization of hyaluronic acid in synovial cells by radioautography.

Cultured human synovial cells secrete hyaluronic acid (HA) into the culture medium. Glucosamine-6-(3)H was shown to be a direct and relatively specific precursor of HA-(3)H by the following observations: the susceptibility of nondialyzable radioactivity in the medium to hyaluronidase, its migration with hexuronic acid on zone electrophoresis in polyvinyl chloride, its exclusion from Sephadex G-200, and the localization of radioactivity to glucosamine after hydrolysis of the labeled polysaccharide. The presence of intracellular HA-(3)H was established by sequential extraction of labeled cells and by radioautography of synovial cell cultures digested with hyaluronidase in situ. When cells were exposed to medium lacking glucose, glucosamine-(3)H-uptake was enhanced; and this made possible electron microscopic radioautographic studies. These studies demonstrate the early and continued presence of HA-(3)H within the Golgi apparatus.
