Dyakia bioluminescence--1. Bioluminescence and fluorescence spectra of the land snail, D. striata.

The luminescent land snail Dyakia striata displayed a bioluminescence spectrum with a maximum wavelength of 515 nm. A green fluorescent substance extracted from the photogenic organ of an adult snail had a similar wavelength maximum but its fluorescence spectrum differed from that of flavin chromophore substances involved in light emission in some other luminescent organisms.

Measurement of rate constants for quenching singlet oxygen with a Cypridina luciferin analog (2-methyl-6-[p-methoxyphenyl]-3,7-dihydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one) and sodium azide.

The rate constants for [1O2] [MCLA] and [1O2] [NaN3] were measured by quenching the near-infrared emission (1 delta g----3 sigma g) in steady state with MCLA and NaN3, respectively. 1O2 was constantly generated by energy transfer to O2 from Ar laser-excited Rose Bengal. The Stern-Volmer plots yielded the second-order rate constants of 2.94 x 10(9) M-1 S-1 and 3.83 x 10(8) M-1 S-1 for quenching 1O2 with MCLA and NaN3 in water at pH 5.4, respectively. The 1O2 + MCLA reaction emitted light with maximum at 465 nm at pD 4.5 identical to the O(2-) + MCLA reaction.

Transfection of the bcr/abl oncogene into factor-dependent cells by electroporation: acquisition of autonomous proliferation.

In order to clarify the function of P210 bcr/abl oncogene in leukemogenesis, IL-3 dependent murine hematopietic cell line, FDC-P2, was transfected with the plasmid containing cDNA of P210 bcr/abl oncogene (pGD'210) or murine IL-3 (pcDmIL3) by electroporation. Four out of five pGDH210 transfected clones as well as FDC-P2 transfected with pcDmIL3, acquired autonomous proliferation (i.e. lost the requirement for IL-3 supplementation). The expression of bcr/abl oncogene was weak in one clone, which remained dependent on IL-3. Unlike pcDmIL3 transfectants, which secrete IL-3 into the supernatant, IL-3 was not demonstrated in the culture supernatant of pGD'210 transfected FDC-P2. These finding suggest that P210 bcr/abl oncogene is directly associated with autonomous proliferation, which is the first process of leukemogenesis.
