Isolation and characterization of a generalized transducing bacteriophage for Acinetobacter.

A series of bacteriophages which grow in various strains of Acinetobacter have been isolated. One of these, phage P78, which forms turbid plaques on Acinetobacter strain 78 is specific for this particular host and fails to attack 389 other independently isolated strains of Acinetobacter. Phage P78 appears to be a temperate phage which lysogenizes its host. Various agents such as N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, diethyl sulfate, mitomycin C, and ultraviolet light are effective inducers of the lysogen. Phage lysates of wild-type cells are capable of transducing auxotrophs of strain 78 to prototrophy at frequencies ranging from 0.3 x 10(-7) to 34 x 10(-7) per plaque-forming unit adsorbed. To date, no linkage has been detected between any of the markers studied in two-factor crosses. Donor phage grown in one particular mutant, strain 78 (arg-1), has been shown to give rise to significantly higher transduction frequencies than when phage is grown on wild-type or other auxotrophic strains. Phage P78 is rapidly adsorbed to its bacterial host and has a latent period of 25 min, and infection results in a burst size of approximately 50. Some of the physical properties of phage P78 and its DNA are described.

Proteins of a polyhedral cytoplasmic deoxyvirus. 3. Structure of frog virus 3 and location ov virus-associated adenosine triphosphate phosphohydrolase.

The adenosine triphosphatase associated with frog virus 3 shows high specificity for ATP or deoxyadenosine triphosphate and appears to be distinct from the corresponding activity in host cells, poxvirus, or reovirus. The enzyme activity is probably integrated into virus particles since it is firmly associated with subviral particles produced when approximately 50 to 60% of the outer viral protein is removed by detergent treatment. The occurrence of adenosine triphosphatase activity within three unrelated viruses suggests that adenosine tryphosphatase might be a necessary function for most viruses that replicate in the cell cytoplasm.

Restoration of deoxycholate-disrupted membrane oxidases of Micrococcus lysodeikticus.

Membrane-associated l-malate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase complexes of Micrococcus lysodeikticus were inactivated with deoxycholate. Reactivation of NADH oxidase by addition of Mg(2+) occurred in these detergent-membrane mixtures, but reactivation of l-malate oxidase did not occur in the presence of deoxycholate. Removal of detergent by gel filtration allowed Mg(2+)-dependent restoration of both l-malate and NADH oxidases. Maximal NADH and l-malate oxidase restoration required 10 min and 40 min, respectively, at 30 mm MgSO(4). Maximal restoration of both oxidases required at least 12 mm MgSO(4) in an incubation period of 1 hr. Reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectra of Mg(2+)-restored membrane oxidases showed participation of cytochromes b, c, and a when either l-malate or NADH served as reductant; addition of dithionite did not increase the alpha- and beta-region absorbancy maxima of these hemoproteins when restored membranes were first reduced with the physiological substrates l-malate or NADH. Not all divalent cations tested were equally effective for reactivation of both oxidases. l-Malate oxidase was restored by both Mn(2+) and Ca(2+). NADH oxidase was not activated by Mn(2+) and only slightly stimulated by Ca(2+). Separation of deoxycholate-disrupted membranes (detergent removed) into soluble and particulate fractions showed that both fractions were required for Mg(2+)-dependent oxidase activities. Electron micrographs indicated conditions of detergent treatment did not destroy the vesicular nature of protoplast ghost membranes.

The reducing activity of S-aminoethylcysteine ketimine and similar sulfur-containing ketimines.

S-aminoethylcysteine ketimine and other sulfur-containing similar ketimines reduce molecular oxygen and phospho-18-tungstate (Folin Marenzi reagent), although the sulfur atom is formally present in the non reducing thioether form. We have now found that 2,6-diclorophenolindophenol, some ferrihemoproteins and other reagents are also reduced by this group of ketimines. Ferricytochrome c is reduced faster than methemoglobin, metmyoglobin and free hematin, whereas horse radish peroxidase compound I is reduced at once. These results indicate a wider reducing activity of this type of ketimine. The oxidation of ketimines by ferric cytochrome c appears a relevant finding pointing to a new possible way of enzymatic modification of sulfur-ketimines in tissues.
