Isolation of the soluble substrate recognition component of the dicarboxylate transport system of Escherichia coli.

A soluble, periplasmic protein was isolated from Escherichia coli cells by chromatography on columns of aspartate-coupled Sepharose 4B. This protein has a molecular weight of about 15,000 and, as judged by competition experiments, binds the three dicarboxylic acids, succinate, malate, and fumarate and, addition, the monocarboxylic acid D-lactate. The periplasmic protein seems to be missing from some mutants of E. coli (designated cbt) which are incapable of transporting succinate in whole cells.

Postirradiation hemangiosarcoma of the chest wall. Report of a case.

An unusual case of cutaneous hemangiosarcoma that developed on a chest wall irradiated after mastectomy for cancer is described. The patient, an elderly woman, had previously received high-dose radiation to the chest wall as well as systemic combination chemotherapy. Sarcoma developed 6 years after mastectomy and progressed rapidly. The time between radiation therapy and occurrence of cutaneous sarcoma was shorter than the median latent period reported for development of radiation-induced sarcoma. Thus, we cannot be certain that radiation was the true or sole etiologic factor. Whether the addition of systemic chemotherapy was a contributory agent is also speculative.
