The effect of NNMG on the template activities of different polynucleotides (polyuridylic acid, polycytidylic acid, polyadenylic acid and copolymer of adenylic and guanylic acid 5,5:1) and t-RNS was studied. The maximum inhibition of the messenger activity was found for poly-C, followed by poly-Α and poly-U. The acceptor activity of t-RNA was found to be inhibited by NNMG: maximum for proline, followed by serine, leucine, phenylalanine and lysine. The mechanism of these inhibitions was studied using NNMG radioactively labelled on the methyl group. Different amounts of radioactivity were found in the various polynucleotides and t-RNS.
Nach Kultivierung von Enterococcus Stei mit 14C-markiertem 5-Chlor-, 5-Brom- oder 5-Jod-Uracil wurde aus den Zellen die DNS isoliert und hoch gereinigt. Durch UV-Bestrahlung dieser DNS in wäßriger Lösung werden die eingebauten 5-Halogen-Uracile photochemisch verändert. Beim Abbau dieser bestrahlten DNS findet man neben geringen Mengen nicht-identifizierter Photoprodukte als überwiegendes Strahlenprodukt nach Hydrolyse mit Perchlorsäure Uracil und nach fermentativem Abbau Uracildesoxyribosid. Die Dehalogenierung von BU und JU in der DNS verläuft in Abhängigkeit von der Bestrahlungsstärke etwa gleich schnell, während CU sehr viel langsamer dehalogeniert wird.
Die photochemische Dehalogenierung des BU erfolgt in der nativen DNS am leichtesten, weniger gut in der Hitze-denaturierten DNS und nur in geringem Maße in der Apurinsäure.
Glycol causes a denaturation of the DNA double helix structure in solution. As could be shown earlier, heat denaturation of DNA leads to an increased dimerization of thymine following uvirradiation. In contrast to this, thymine dimer is not increased - but is even slightly decreased - when DNA is uv-irradiated in the presence of glycol. These results are discussed with regard to the distortion of the hydration layer and the hydrophobic stacking of bases, as influenced by glycol.
The trifluoroacetylation of thymidine at room temperature was performed using trifluoroacetic acid phenylester in pyridine. A selective protection of the 5′-position was not possible: Even low molar quantities of the trifluoroacetylating agent gave rise to bis-trifluoroacetylation. The bis-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of thymidine and 5-bromo-deoxyuridine were purified by vacuum sublimation. The completely trifluoroacetylated deoxyribosides of uracil, 5-iodouracil and adenine underwent decomposition during sublimation.
Following treatment with the β-galactosidase inducer [methyl-3H] -thiogalactoside, an induceracceptor-complex was isolated from extracts of E. coli K 12 using DEAE cellulose chromatography. Enzymatic digestion with trypsin suggested that the inducer was bound to a protein component.
Specific radioactive peaks demonstrated acceptor activity in the inducible strains E. coli K 12 and ML 3, but different results were obtained using the non-inducible mutants ML 35, ML 308 and ML 309.
The potent inhibitor of TMG-induction, o-nitrophenylfucoside, reduced the radioactive acceptor peak and caused a similar inhibition of β-galactosidase synthesis, p-nitrophenylfucoside was ineffective.
Further evidence is presented for the in vitro formation of an inducer-acceptor-complex in cell free extracts of E. coli K 12.
Methylthio-β.ᴅ-galaktosid wird in E. coli K 12, sowie in den Mutanten ML 3 und ML 308 in vivo zu einem geringen Teil in einen Phosphorsäureester, wahrscheinlich das 6-Phosphat (TMG-P) umgewandelt. TMG-P wird von E. coli K 12 aufgenommen, wirkt jedoch nicht als Induktor des Lactose-Operons. Zellfreie Extrakte aus E. coli K 12 geben die gleiche Reaktion, wobei die in vitro-Reaktion durch anorganisches Phosphat und Phosphoenolpyruvat stimuliert wird.
It is possible to determine the anomeric configuration of nucleosides by a simple, spectrophotometric assay, using the nucleoside phosphorylase activity of cell-free extracts from E. coli. β-nucleo-sides are split, a-anomers remain unchanged. For a single estimation 20-40 µg of nucleoside are required. 6-Azauracil- and 8-azaguanine-β-ᴅ-riboside and some nucleoside phosphates are resistant, a fact, which is of interest in view of the specificity of nucleoside phosphorylases.
Induction of the enzyme Δ5-3-ketosteroid isomerase in Pseudomonas testosteroni was found to be strongly inhibited by reserpine and by the alkaloids of Vinca and Ergot. Morphine, colchicine and papaverine caused weaker inhibition whilst a series of other alkaloids were almost ineffective. Ergot alkaloids were inhibitory towards all steroids tested, androgens, oestrogens and progestagens, and a similar effect was shown with the other inducible enzymes, 3α- and 3β.17β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase.
Experiments with cell-free protein synthesis indicate that reserpine inhibits the induction of messenger RNA.
