Correlation between the virulence of Francisella tularensis in experimental mice and its acriflavine reaction.

Correlation between the virulence of Francisella tularensis in experimental mice and its acriflavine reaction was studied. The cultures derived from all four strains (Ebina, CMB2, Schu, and N9) that had long been subcultured on agar media yielded two types of colonies, i.e., acriflavine reaction-positive (acf+) and acriflavine reaction-negative (acf-) colonies. All acf+ colonies, regardless of their parent strains, were shown to be low virulent in mice. Acf- colonies were shown to be either high (Ebina, CMB2) or low (Schu, N9) virulent. The low-virulent acf- colonies gained virulence during several passages in mice, whereas the acf+ colonies remained low virulent even after the animal passages.

The effect of dietary factors on intradentinal dye penetration in the rat.

Fluorescent dye injected systemically into rats penetrated the dentinal tubules of molar teeth in a dynamic fashion. The presence of dye was established using histological and fluorescence microscopy techniques. The rate of intradentinal dye penetration was dependent on dietary factors: it was high in rats chronically fed Purina rat chow and low in rats fed a cariogenic, high-sucrose diet. In addition, parotidectomized rats showed low levels of intradentinal dye penetration, even though they were maintained on Purina chow. One and 2 ml of plasma from Purina-fed rats were effective in stimulating the dye penetration in intact and parotidectomized rats, whereas 2 and 4 ml of plasma from rats fed a high-sucrose diet were ineffective when infused in either intact or parotidectomized animals. The results suggest that rats fed Purina chow have a significantly higher titre of a circulating, dye penetration stimulating factor than animals fed a high sucrose diet. This circulating factor could be the equivalent of the parotid hormone isolated from porcine tissue. It is suggested that dietary factors may affect secretion of a parotid hormone and thereby regulate the rate of dentinal fluid movement. There is therefore the prospect of a functional relationship between diet, the regulation of dentinal fluid flow by an endocrine system and dental health.

A colony color assay for Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants defective in kinetochore structure and function.

We have designed a colony color assay for monitoring centromere DNA-protein interactions in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The assay is based on the ability of centromere DNA sequences to block (in cis) transcription initiated from a hybrid CEN-GAL1 promoter. Using a IacZ reporter gene under control of the CEN-GAL1 promoter, we screened colonies derived from mutagenized cells for a blue color phenotype indicative of derepression of the hybrid construct. A limited screen in which a 61-bp CEN11 DNA fragment containing an intact CDEIII subregion plus flanking sequences was used as the "pseudo-operator" led to the identification of mutations (blu) in three complementation groups. The blu1 mutants exhibited a decrease in activity of the major CEN DNA-binding proteins in vitro. The BLU1 gene was shown to be identical to the previously isolated SPT3 gene, known to be involved in the transcriptional regulation of a subset of yeast genes. Our results indicate that the BLU1/SPT3 gene product may also be required to maintain optimal levels of functional centromere DNA-binding proteins.
