Structure of hexaaquacobalt(II) bromate.

[Co(H2O)6](BrO3)2, Mr = 422.83, cubic, Pa-3, a = 10.3505 (7) A, V = 1108.88 (8) A3, Z = 4, Dx = 2.53 g cm-3, lambda(Mo K-alpha) = 0.71069 A, mu = 87.31 cm-1, F(000) = 820, T = 296 K, R = 0.027 for 365 unique reflections having I greater than sigma I. The single type of Co ion is coordinated by six water-molecule O atoms, each at an observed distance 2.095 (2) A, in an array which is regular octahedral within the estimated standard deviations of the relevant angles. The single type of bromate ion has a Br-O bond length 1.653 (2) A and O-Br-O bond angle 104.07 (9) degrees. The cobalt-oxygen complex manifested rigid-body behavior, but the bromate ion did not. The cobalt-oxygen distance corrected for rigid-body motion is 2.099 A. Location and refinement of the two inequivalent H atoms permitted detailed analysis of the hydrogen bonding, which occurs principally between the oxygen octahedra and the bromate groups. This structure is isomorphic to that of hexa-aquanickel(II) chlorate recently reported from this laboratory.

Expression of mucin-associated sulfo-Lea carbohydrate epitopes on human colon carcinoma cells.

The level of sulfo-Lea (SO3-3Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc) epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 91.9H in hepatic metastasis of colon carcinoma is known to be lower than at the primary sites. We examined 19 human colon carcinoma cell lines for their production of this epitope. Sixteen cell lines were found to produce high M(r) components that metabolically incorporated [35S]sulfate and were resistant to heparitinase I and chondroitinase ABC, and 8 of them were reactive with mAb 91.9H as shown by western blotting analysis. These were all of the 4 cell lines derived from well differentiated primary tumors (HCCP-2998, LS174T, GEO, and CBS), 2 of 10 cell lines (DLD-1 and HCT116) from moderately to poorly differentiated primary tumors, and 2 of 5 cell lines (SW480 and HCC-M1544) from metastases. Incubation of LS174T cells with benzyl-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminide abrogated the incorporation of [35S]sulfate and the reactivity of mAb 91.9H with high M(r) components in the cell lysates. Sodium chlorate, which inhibits the formation of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate, also inhibited the [35S]sulfate incorporation and reactivity with mAb 91.9H. These treatments did not change the incorporation of [14C]threonine into high M(r) components. These results indicated that sulfo-Lea epitopes were expressed on O-linked carbohydrate chains in sulfomucins. Immunohistochemical studies of tumor tissues in nude mice indicated that sulfo-Lea was expressed at the site of orthotopic transplantation in the cecum. The expression appeared to be suppressed in liver metastatic foci in nude mice.

Syndecan-4-dependent migration of human eosinophils.

BACKGROUND: Heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are important participants in cell surface signalling and critical in controlling cell behaviour. They modulate inflammatory cell maturation and activation, leucocyte rolling, adhesion to endothelium as well as extravasation and chemotaxis. Whether eosinophil's function is affected has not yet been reported. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of transgenic, recombinant anti-thrombin III and Kybernin P, an anti-thrombin III concentrate, as HSPG ligands on spontaneous and chemokine-triggered migration of normal eosinophils from human peripheral blood in modified Boyden chamber micropore filter assays. METHODS: Eosinophils from human peripheral blood were purified using magnetic antibody cell sorting. The signalling mechanisms required for anti-thrombin-dependent migration were studied using signalling enzyme blockers. Expression of HSPG core protein mRNA was studied by PCR. RESULTS: Pre-treatment of eosinophils with anti-thrombin III inhibited chemotaxis toward optimal concentrations of eotaxin or RANTES (regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and activated). In the absence of the chemokines, direct exposure to gradients of anti-thrombin III stimulated eosinophil migration. The effects of anti-thrombin III were abolished by pre-treating cells with heparinase-1, chondroitinase, sodium chlorate and anti-syndecan-4 antibodies. Syndecan-4 gene expression in eosinophils was confirmed in PCR. In the presence of pentasaccharide, anti-thrombin III lost its effect on the cells. Functional responses were also abrogated by inhibition of protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phosphodiesterase. CONCLUSION: Data indicate that anti-thrombin III affects eosinophil motility via the effects of its heparin-binding site on cell surface syndecan-4. Ligation of syndecan-4 with anti-thrombin III induces eosinophil migration and deactivates motility toward chemokines. These observations suggest that syndecan-4-dependent signalling may control eosinophil locomotion.

Respiratory nitrate reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans. Evidence for two b-type haems in the gamma subunit and properties of a water-soluble active enzyme containing alpha and beta subunits.

1. The b-type haem centres of the three (alpha, beta and gamma) subunit nitrate reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans have been analysed by redox potentiometry. Two components were identified with mid-point potentials +95 mV and +210 mV. 2. Washing, in the absence of Mg2+ ions, of cytoplasmic membrane vesicles from P. denitrificans promoted selective release of nitrate reductase activity. The released enzyme was purified by chromatography and shown to contain alpha and beta, but not gamma polypeptides. A haem spectrum was absent, consistent with the lack of the gamma subunit. The alpha and beta polypeptides of the water-soluble nitrate reductase had molecular masses that were identical to those of the detergent-purified enzyme and also of the nitrate reductase in cytoplasmic membranes. This observation, together with the failure of protease inhibitors to prevent release from the membrane, indicates that the release is not related to limited proteolysis of the alpha and/or beta polypeptides. The relative molecular mass of the water-soluble alpha beta enzyme was estimated to be approximately 200,000. 3. The water-soluble nitrate reductase was released from intact inverted cytoplasmic membrane vesicles as judged by loss of NADH-NO3- reductase activity and retention by the vesicles after washing of uncoupler-sensitive NADH-oxidase activity. These observations show that alpha and beta polypeptides, and therefore the active site for nitrate reduction, are located on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. 4. Attempts to reverse the nitrate reductase activity of the enzyme, using nitrate as reductant plus ferricyanide or chlorate as tested oxidants, were unsuccessful. The implications for the mechanism of the enzyme are discussed.

Effect of various electrolytes upon cardiac and skeletal musculature.

In rats kept on a low-potassium diet that contains only maintenance levels of magnesium, cardiac necroses and muscular cramps were readily induced by the oral administration of sodium perchlorate or disodium hydrogen phosphate. The precipitation of these cardiac and skeletal muscle changes by sodium chlorate was prevented by the prophylactic administration of either potassium or magnesium chlorides. The protective effect of these chlorides against the cardiotoxic and convulsive effects of disodium hydrogen phosphate has already been demonstrated by our earlier experiments. Sodium sulphate produced cardiac necroses in rats maintained on the same diet, and both potassium and magnesium chlorides had a prophylactic action. Unlike sodium perchlorate, however, sodium sulphate produced no muscular cramps under these conditions. Equimolecular amounts of sodium given in the form of sodium chloride (instead of sodium perchlorate, sodium sulphate, or disodium hydrogen phosphate) did not cause cardiac necroses or muscular cramps in rats maintained on the potassium-deficient diet. As the same three sodium salts, namely the perchlorate, the sulphate, and the hydrogen phosphate, produced cardiac necroses in rats sensitized by either a potassium-deficient diet or by certain corticoids, it seems that the anion must play a decisive rôle, since equivalent amounts of NaCl are ineffective.

Chlorine dioxide gas sterilization of oxygenators in an industrial scale sterilizer: a successful model.

Artificial organ oxygenators, with large surface areas and complicated structures, were sterilized using chlorine dioxide gas in an industrial scale sterilizer. Bacillus subtilis var. niger ATCC 9372 biological indicators (BI) (10(6) spores/BI) planted in the artificial organs were reproducibly sterilized in a designed cycle schedule with a 30-min dwell time with a chlorine dioxide gas concentration of approximately 30 mg/L in 80 to 85% relative humidity at 30 degrees C. The D value (time required for 90% spore inactivation under specific conditions) was estimated to be 4.4 min. Chlorine dioxide was not detected after post-sterilization aeration. The intravenous median lethal dose (LD50) of chlorine dioxide derivatives, chlorite and chlorate, in rats was found to be 112.8 and 2,228.6 mg/kg, respectively. In an immediate hypersensitivity test, chlorine dioxide gas-treated ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin, unlike ethylene oxide gas-treated proteins, did not cause sterilant-specific IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions in rats. Results of an Ames mutagenicity test on chlorine dioxide and on the extracts of the chlorine dioxide gas-exposed oxygenators were negative.

Capillary electrophoretic analysis of phosphorus species in clandestine methamphetamine laboratory samples.

The clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine is a spreading epidemic. Manufacturing methods are constantly changing, necessitating the implementation of new analytical tools to identify materials from these labs. Characterization of phosphate, phosphite, and hypophosphite ions is necessary to distinguish the various phosphorus-iodine manufacturing methods that are popular methods for reducing pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine. This work describes a capillary electrophoresis method to separate acetate, azide, bromide, carbonate, chlorate, chloride, chromate, fluoride, hypophosphite, iodide, nitrate, nitrite, perchlorate, phosphate, phosphite, sulfate, sulfite, and thiocyanate. The CElixerOA 8.2 dynamic coating system was modified by lowering the capillary temperature to 15 degrees C and using an acid flush between runs to remove adsorbed materials. This allows detection of ions down to between 10 and 30 parts per million with percent relative standard deviations of normalized migration times under 0.1%. This method is a valuable tool for the characterization of phosphate, phosphite, and hypophosphite in routine analysis of clandestine methamphetamine manufacturing evidence and has a broader application in other areas of forensic analysis.

Phenotypic characterisation and genetic complementation of dimethylsulfoxide respiratory mutants of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodobacter capsulatus.

Two chlorate resistant mutants of Rhodobacter sphaeroides were isolated which were deficient in dimethylsulfoxide reductase activity. Immunoblotting experiments showed that the phenotype of these mutants and that of Rhodobacter capsulatus strain DK9, a mutant unable to reduce dimethylsulfoxide, was correlated with low or undetectable levels of the dimethylsulfoxide reductase apoprotein. All three mutants were complemented by a cosmid from a library of Rhodobacter sphaeroides genomic DNA. Further genetic complementation analysis revealed that functions required for restoration of dimethylsulfoxide reductase activity in the Rhodobacter sphaeroides mutants were encoded on an 9 kb EcoR1 DNA fragment derived from this cosmid. Expression of this 9 kb DNA fragment in Escherichia coli showed that it encoded the dimethylsulfoxide reductase structural gene of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Evidence for multiple nitrate uptake systems in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha.

Hansenula polymorpha mutants disrupted in the high-affinity nitrate transporter gene (YNT1) are still able to grow in nitrate. To detect the nitrate transporter(s) responsible for this growth a strain containing disruption of the nitrate assimilation gene cluster and expressing nitrate reductase gene (YNR1) under the control of H. polymorpha MOX1 (methanol oxidase) promoter was used (FM31 strain). In this strain nitrate taken up is transformed into nitrite by nitrate reductase and excreted to the medium where it is easily detected. Nitrate uptake which is neither induced by nitrate nor repressed by reduced nitrogen sources was detected in the FM31 strain. Likewise, nitrate uptake detected in the strain FM31 is independent of both Ynt1p and Yna1p and is not affected by ammonium, glutamine or chlorate. The inhibition of nitrite extrusion by extracellular nitrite suggests that the nitrate uptake system shown in the FM31 strain could also be involved in nitrite uptake.

Experimental and clinical results in shock lung treatment with vitamin E.

The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not confined only to late shock states but is a typical finding in intoxications with such oxidizing agents as O3, NO2, chlorate, or paraquat. Under experimental conditions, alpha-tocopherol in a high enteric dosage (2 x 50 mg/kg) was able to prevent alterations of pulmonary surface tension parameters (p less than 10(-5)) induced by microembolization of pulmonary vessels in awake rabbits. Parameters of gas exchange (PaO2' A-aDO2) were significantly less impaired (p less than 0.01) in the tocopherol group. Since there was no additional oxidative stress, the protective effect of tocopherol suggests an involvement of pathophysiologically occurring peroxidation mechanisms. Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism is known to be a physiological oxygenation process yielding products with utmost biological efficacy. In a model of isolated, ventilated, and continuously perfused rabbit lungs, release or addition of AA resulted in an increase of pulmonary vascular resistance and permeability. The former could be ascribed to cyclooxygenase products, the latter to lipoxygenase products, of AA. The alpha-tocopherol effect in this model was a complex one: the antioxidative chromane structure (Trolox) as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased both pulmonary vascular resistance and permeability induced by AA metabolism dose dependently to a large degree, whereas the phytyl side chain augmented both effects. Pharmacological efficacy of high-dose alpha-tocopherol is not yet completely understood. Since 1977, we have applied all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (6-8 x 300-500 mg/day by gastric tube) to patients with manifest or threatening ARDS in addition to the required conventional complex therapy. Out of 176 patients being artificially ventilated for at least four days in the Internal Intensive Care Unit, Giessen University, 87 received tocopherol and 89 did not. There was no statistically valid stratification or randomization of the patients. In general, the tocopherol-treated patients were considered to have the worse prognosis, as is confirmed by higher maximum FIO2 and PEEP values. Thirty-four tocopherol patients (39%) and 15 nontocopherol patients (17%) survived. Surviving tocopherol patients were ventilated for a mean of 10.0 +/- 7.7 days (with maxima of 25, 28, and 41 days), whereas surviving nontocopherol patients were ventilated only for 5.5 +/- 1.1 days (none of these for more than 8 days). Absorption of alpha-tocopherol by these severely ill patients was shown by gas chromatography. A well-prepared clinical trial for tocopherol therapy of ARDS is suggested.

Effects of anions and cations on the resting membrane potential of internally perfused barnacle muscle fibres.

1. Single barnacle muscle fibres from Megabalanus psittacus (Darwin) were internally perfused with a number of K salt solutions (200 mM) which were made isotonic to the barnacle saline with sucrose.2. 200 mM-K acetate solution, in general, was found to be more effective than other solutions of K salts in generating and maintaining stable resting membrane potential of -56.0 +/- 0.7 mV (all potentials are referred to the external solutions as ground). The various K salts, on the basis of the magnitude of the resting potential they generated in the muscle fibres, followed the sequence, acetate > isethionate > aspartate > glutamate > fluoride > monohydrogen phosphate > succinate > citrate > sulphate > oxalate > iodobenzoate > ferrocyanide > chlorate > nitrate > chloride > thiocyanate > iodide > bromide > cyanide.3. The resting potential in muscle fibres perfused with solutions of acetate, aspartate and glutamate increased linearly with the logarithm of the K concentration (slope = 30.4 mV for K acetate and 27.4 for K aspartate and glutamate) when the ionic strength of the solutions was progressively increased from 50 to 650 mM. On the other hand, similar increase of ionic strength beyond 200 mM of solutions of K isethionate, fluoride, monohydrogen phosphate, succinate and citrate depolarized the muscle fibres.4. Perfusion of acetate solutions of other alkali metal ions gave low values for the resting potential and followed the sequence K > Na > Rb > Li > Cs. Also NH(4) and Tris ions gave low values for the resting potential which underwent oscillations associated with the twitching of the fibre and occasionally became positive in value (action potential).5. Addition of tetraethyl ammonium chloride (TEA-Cl), 20-100 mM, to K acetate solutions (200 mM) depolarized the fibre membrane and the consequent reduction of resting potential varied linearly with the logarithm of TEA concentration.6. Replacement of chloride ion by acetate or isethionate in the external solution did not change significantly the resting potential although the values were consistently lower by about 2 mV.7. Complete elimination of K in the external solution and reduction of its ionic strength using sucrose depolarized the muscle fibres by about 27 mV when Na was changed from 475 to 1 mM. Under these conditions, external solutions completely in acetate form gave resting potentials which were more positive than those observed in completely chloride solutions by 6-8 mV.8. Replacement of Na by Li, Tris, choline, tetramethyl or tetraethyl ammonium ion in the external solution made the values of the resting potential more positive (depolarization). Similarly increasing the concentration of K (or Cs or Rb in place of K) by correspondingly decreasing the concentration of Na in the outside solution depolarized the fibres and the resting potential became zero at a concentration of 280 mM (or 308 or 1500 mM for Rb or Cs, respectively) on extrapolation.

Glycosaminoglycans and protein disulfide isomerase-mediated reduction of HIV Env.

Conformational changes within the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) surface glycoprotein gp120 result from binding to the lymphocyte surface receptors and trigger gp41-mediated virus/cell membrane fusion. The triggering of fusion requires cleavage of two of the nine disulfide bonds of gp120 by a cell-surface protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI). Soluble glycosaminoglycans such as heparin and heparan sulfate bind gp120 via V3 and, possibly, a CD4-induced domain. They exert anti-HIV activity by interfering with the HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env)/cell-surface interaction. Env also binds cell-surface glycosaminoglycans. Here, using surface plasmon resonance, we observed an inverse relationship between heparin binding by gp120 and its thiol content. In vitro, and in conditions in which gp120 could bind CD4, heparin and heparan sulfate reduced PDI-mediated gp120 reduction by approximately 80%. Interaction of Env with the surface of lymphocytes treated using sodium chlorate, an inhibitor of glycosaminoglycan synthesis, led to gp120 reduction. We conclude that besides their capacity to block Env/cell interaction, soluble glycosaminoglycans can effect anti-HIV activity via interference with PDI-mediated gp120 reduction. In contrast, their presence at the cell surface is dispensable for Env reduction during the course of interaction with the lymphocyte surface. This work suggests that the reduction of exofacial proteins in various diseases can be inhibited by compounds targeting the substrates (not by targeting PDI, as is usually done), and that glycosaminoglycans that primarily protect proteins by preserving them from proteolysis also have a role in preventing reduction.

Interaction of metronidazole with DNA repair mutants of Escherichia coli.

It has been proposed that one of metronidazole's partially reduced intermediates interacts either with DNA to exert a bactericidal effect or with water to form acetamide. To test this hypothesis we have examined the effect of metronidazole on several mutants of Escherichia coli that are defective in DNA repair. UV-susceptible RecA- and UvrB- point mutants have an increased susceptibility to metronidazole as manifested by both a decreased minimal inhibitory concentration and a greater bactericidal response to metronidazole in resting cultures. By these criteria, however, we find that UvrB- deletion mutants, which lack the ability to reduce nitrate and chlorate, are no more susceptible to metronidazole than is the wild type. We find, however, that these deletion mutants also lack the ability to reduce metronidazole and thus possibly to form its reactive species. When metronidazole's bactericidal effect is expressed in terms of the concurrent accumulation of acetamide derived from metronidazole, then all RecA- and UvrB- mutants are killed more efficiently than their wild types. The data are consistent, therefore, with metronidazole's lethal effect being mediated by a partially reduced intermediate on the metabolic pathway between metronidazole and acetamide. Defects in other aspects of the DNA repair system do not confer this increased susceptibility to the proposed intermediate. A Tag- mutant, for example, which is defective in 3-methyl-adenine-DNA glycosylase, does not have this increased susceptibility to the presumed precursor of acetamide. Thus, these results provide further support for the hypothesis that the bactericidal effect of metronidazole is mediated by a partially reduced intermediate in the metabolic conversion of metronidazole to acetamide and suggest that this intermediate interacts with DNA to produce a lesion similar to that caused by UV light.

Effects of low concentrations of bisulfite-sulfite and nitrite on microorganisms.

A wide range of microorganisms was tested to determine their sensitivity to low concentrations of bisulfite-sulfite and nitrite, solubility products of SO2 and NO2, respectively. Photosynthesis by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) was more strongly inhibited by 0.1 mM bisulfite-sulfite and 1 mM nitrite at pH 6.0 than photosynthesis by eucaryotic algae and respiration of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. At pH 7.7, blue-green algae were still more sensitive to bisulfite-sulfite and nitrite than eucaryotic algae, but the toxicity of bisulfite-sulfite and nitrite decreased as the pH increased. Photosynthesis by Anabaena flos-aquae at pH 6.0 was inhibited 25% by a bisulfite-sulfite concentration of 10 micrometer and 15% by a nitrite concentration of 50 micrometer. Photosynthesis by the blue-green alga, Lyngbya sp., was not exceptionally sensitive to chlorate and thiosulfate. Acetylene-reducing activity of Beijerinckia indica was completely inhibited by 0.1 mM bisulfite-sulfite at pH 4.0, the suppression being decreased with increasing pH.

Evaluation of Nitrate Reductase Activity in Rhizobium japonicum.

Nitrate reductase activity was evaluated by four approaches, using four strains of Rhizobium japonicum and 11 chlorate-resistant mutants of the four strains. It was concluded that in vitro assays with bacteria or bacteroids provide the most simple and reliable assessment of the presence or absence of nitrate reductase. Nitrite reductase activity with methyl viologen and dithionite was found, but the enzyme activity does not confound the assay of nitrate reductase.

Measurement of nitrous oxide reductase activity in aquatic sediments.

Denitrification in aquatic sediments was measured by an N(2)O reductase assay. Sediments consumed small added quantities of N(2)O over short periods (a few hours). In experiments with sediment slurries, N(2)O reductase activity was inhibited by O(2), C(2)H(2), heat treatment, and by high levels of nitrate (1 mM) or sulfide (10 mM). However, ambient levels of nitrate (<100 muM) did not influence activity, and moderate levels (about 150 muM) induced only a short lag before reductase activity began. Moderate levels of sulfide (<1 mM) had no effect on N(2)O reductase activity. Nitrous oxide reductase displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics in sediments from freshwater (K(m) = 2.17 muM), estuarine (K(m) = 14.5 muM), and alkaline-saline (K(m) = 501 muM) environments. An in situ assay was devised in which a solution of N(2)O was injected into sealed glass cores containing intact sediment. Two estimates of net rates of denitrification in San Francisco Bay under approximated in situ conditions were 0.009 and 0.041 mmol of N(2)O per m per h. Addition of chlorate to inhibit denitrification in these intact-core experiments (to estimate gross rates of N(2)O consumption) resulted in approximately a 14% upward revision of estimates of net rates. These results were comparable to an in situ estimate of 0.022 mmol of N(2)O per m per h made with the acetylene block assay.

New enrichment method for isolation of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica serogroup O:3 from pork.

A new enrichment medium for the recovery of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica serogroup O:3 from naturally infected meat products based on three selective agents, Irgasan, ticarcillin, and potassium chlorate (ITC), was compared with several other one- or two-step enrichments. Y. enterocolitica serogroup O:3 was recovered from 96.5% of 29 pork tongues, 24% of 50 ground pork samples, 16% of 25 masseter muscle samples, and 61% of tonsils. ITC was by far the most sensitive method for the recovery of Y. enterocolitica O:3, especially from ground meat and masseter muscles, while cold and two-step enrichments yielded better results for nonpathogenic strains. Plating of ITC enrichments onto SS-deoxycholate-calcium agar gave overall better results than plating onto cefsulodin-Irgasan-novobiocin agar for serogroup O:3.
