Amplification and rearrangement of Hu-ets-1 in leukemia and lymphoma with involvement of 11q23

The Hu-ets-1 oncogene was found to be rearranged and amplified 30-fold in one case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia in which a homogeneously staining region occurred on 11q23; the oncogene was rearranged and amplified approximately tenfold in a case of small lymphocytic cell lymphoma with an inverted insertion that also involved band 11q23. This work suggests that Hu-ets-1 is an unusual oncogene that can help explain the common involvement of chromosome band 11q23 in various subtypes of hematopoietic malignancies.     

Interferon and c-ets-1 genes in the translocation (9;11)(p22;q23) in human acute monocytic leukemia

Gene probes for interferons alpha and beta 1 and v-ets were hybridized to metaphase chromosomes from three patients with acute monocytic leukemia who had a chromosomal translocation, t(9;11)(p22;q23). The break in the short arm of chromosome 9 split the interferon genes, and the interferon-beta 1 gene was translocated to chromosome 11. The c-ets-1 gene was translocated from chromosome 11 to the short arm of chromosome 9 adjacent to the interferon genes. No DNA rearrangement was observed when these probes were hybridized to genomic DNA from leukemic cells of two of the patients. The results suggest that the juxtaposition of the interferon and c-ets-1 genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of human monocytic leukemia.

Xenon as a complex ligand: the tetra xenono Gold(II) cation in AuXe(4)2+(Sb(2)F(11)-)(2)

The first metal-xenon compound with direct gold-xenon bonds is achieved by reduction of AuF(3) with elemental xenon. The square planar AuXe(4)2+ cation is established by a single-crystal structure determination, with a gold-xenon bond length of approximately 274 picometers. The bonding between gold and xenon is of the final sigma donor type, resulting in a charge of approximately 0.4 per xenon atom.     

The role of the c-mos gene in the 8;21 translocation in human acute myeloblastic leukemia

The human c-mos proto-oncogene is located on chromosome 8 at band q22, close to the breakpoint in the t(8;21) (q22;q22) chromosome rearrangement. This translocation is associated with acute myeloblastic leukemia, subgroup M2. The c-myc gene, another proto-oncogene, has been mapped to 8q24. The breakpoint at 8q22 separates these genes, as determined by in situ hybridization of c-mos and c-myc probes. The c-mos gene remains on the 8q-chromosome and the c-myc gene is translocated to the 21q+ chromosome. Southern blot analysis of DNA from bone marrow cells of four patients with this translocation showed no rearrangement of c-mos.

Bulk Superconductivity at 122 K in T1(Ba,Ca)2Ca3Cu4O10.5+8 with Four Consecutive Copper Layers

The observed increase of superconducting transition temperature (T(c)) with the number of copper oxide planes continues in the four-[CuO(2)](-2) layer (single TI layer) oxide superconductor, which has been prepared with > 80% purity and was magnetically aligned for crystallographic identification. A master scaling curve is proposed, which ties together the T(c)'s of virtually all known Bi and Tl oxide superconductors, and shows that the Tl(Bi) layers play an essential role in the superconductivity. publication 350 of the Barnett Institute.     

RAG-1 and RAG-2, adjacent genes that synergistically activate V(D)J recombination

The vast repertoire of immunoglobulins and T cell receptors is generated, in part, by V(D)J recombination, a series of genomic rearrangements that occur specifically in developing lymphocytes. The recombination activating gene, RAG-1, which is a gene expressed exclusively in maturing lymphoid cells, was previously isolated. RAG-1 inefficiently induced V(D)J recombinase activity when transfected into fibroblasts, but cotransfection with an adjacent gene, RAG-2, has resulted in at least a 1000-fold increase in the frequency of recombination. The 2.1-kilobase RAG-2 complementary DNA encodes a putative protein of 527 amino acids whose sequence is unrelated to that of RAG-1. Like RAG-1, RAG-2 is conserved between species that carry out V(D)J recombination, and its expression pattern correlates precisely with that of V(D)J recombinase activity. In addition to being located just 8 kilobases apart, these convergently transcribed genes are unusual in that most, if not all, of their coding and 3' untranslated sequences are contained in single exons. RAG-1 and RAG-2 might activate the expression of the V(D)J recombinase but, more likely, they directly participate in the recombination reaction.

Pyrrhotites stable in nature have essentially stoichiometric composition, Fe(n)-(l)S(n) (n>/=8), with the structures of n/2C type for n even and of nC type for n odd. The solid solutions between Fe(11)S(12) and Fe(10)S(11), and between Fe(10)S(11) and Fe(9)S(10) are considered metastable in nature.     

Marker-assisted pyramiding of soybean resistance genes R_(SC4),R_(SC8),and R_(SC14Q) to soybean mosaic virus

Soybean mosaic virus(SMV)is one of the major viral pathogens affecting soybean crops worldwide.Three SMV resistance genes,R_(SC4),R_(SC8),and R_(SC14Q),have been identified and mapped on soybean chromosomes 14,2,and 13 from Dabaima,Kefeng 1,and Qihuang 1 cultivars,respectively.Soybean cultivar Nannong 1138-2 is widely grown in the Yangtze River Valley of China.In this study,crosses were made between Qihuang 1×Kefeng 1 and Dabaima×Nannong 1138-2.Ten simple sequence repeat(SSR)markers linked to three resistance loci(R_(SC4),R_(SC8),and R_(SC14Q))were used to assist pyramided breeding.Pyramided families containing three resistance loci(R_(SC4),R_(SC8),and R_(SC14Q))were evaluated by inoculating them with 21 SMV strains from China.Results indicated that the 10 markers can be used effectively to assist the selection of resistant individuals containing R_(SC4),R_(SC8),and R_(SC14Q).A total of 53 F_6 plants were confirmed to contain three homozygous alleles conferring resistance to SMV.Five F_7 homozygous pyramided families exhibited resistance to 21 strains of SMV and showed desirable agronomic traits using dual selection.The strategy of pyramiding resistance gene derived from different varieties has practical breeding value in providing broad-spectrum resistance against the existing strains of SMV in China.

对溴苯甲醛-4-苯基-2-噻唑脲与人血清蛋白相互作用的研究

采用荧光法研究了对溴苯甲醛-4-苯基-2-噻唑脲(BHP)与人血清蛋白(HSA)之间的相互作用。根据溴苯甲醛-4-苯基-2-噻唑脲与HSA相互作用的荧光敏华作用,利用Stern-Volmer方程及非辐射能量转移理论处理试验数据,采用同步荧光光谱探讨了BHP对HSA构象的影响。结果表明,BHP可以使HSA的荧光增强,表明两者之间发生了能量转移,能量转移的机理是BHP与HSA结合形成了复合物。荧光增强(敏化)效应主要源于给体-受体间的偶极-偶极作用的能量转移。能量转移的结果为内原发色基团(给体donor)的荧光被猝灭和外源发色基团(受体acceptor)荧光被敏化,计算得到其敏化常数为-2.494 5×104。同步荧光光谱表明,相互作用引起HSA构象变化,提示结合位点更接近于色氨酸。     

The t(14;18) chromosome translocations involved in B-cell neoplasms result from mistakes in VDJ joining

In this study, the joining sequences between chromosomes 14 and 18 on the 14q+ chromosomes of a patient with pre-B-cell leukemia and four patients with follicular lymphoma carrying a t(14;18) chromosome translocation were analyzed. In each case, the involved segment of chromosome 18 has recombined with the immunoglobulin heavy-chain joining segment (JH) on chromosome 14. The sites of the recombination on chromosome 14 are located close to the 5' end of the involved JH segment, where the diversity (D) regions are rearranged with the JH segments in the production of active heavy-chain genes. As extraneous nucleotides (N regions) were observed at joining sites and specific signal-like sequences were detected on chromosome 18 in close proximity to the breakpoints, it is concluded that the t(14;18) chromosome translocation is the result of a mistake during the process of VDJ joining at the pre-B-cell stage of differentiation. The putative recombinase joins separated DNA segments on two different chromosomes instead of joining separated segments on the same chromosome, causing a t(14;18) chromosome translocation in the involved B cells.     

Gigantic photoresponse in 1/4-filled-band organic salt (EDO-TTF)2PF6

We report that the organic salt (EDO-TTF)2PF6 with 3/4-filled-band (1/4-filled in terms of holes), which forms an organic metal with strong electron and lattice correlation, shows a highly sensitive response to photoexcitation. An ultrafast, photoinduced phase transition from the insulator phase to the metal phase can be induced with very weak excitation intensity at near room temperature. This response makes the material attractive for applications in switching devices with room-temperature operation. The observed photo-induced spectroscopic change shows that this photoinduced phase transition process is caused by the cooperative melting of charge ordering assisted by coherent phonon generation.     

Signature of superfluid density in the single-particle excitation spectrum of Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+delta)

We report that the doping and temperature dependence of photoemission spectra near the Brillouin zone boundary of Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+delta)exhibit unexpected sensitivity to the superfluid density. In the superconducting state, the photoemission peak intensity as a function of doping scales with the superfluid density and the condensation energy. As a function of temperature, the peak intensity shows an abrupt behavior near the superconducting phase transition temperature where phase coherence sets in, rather than near the temperature where the gap opens. This anomalous manifestation of collective effects in single-particle spectroscopy raises important questions concerning the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
