SummaryThe effects of varying concentrations of alkali chlorides (LiCl, NaCl, KC1, RbCl and CsCl), alkaline earth chlorides (BeCl2, MgCl2, CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2), choline chloride and Tris,HCl (pH 8.0 at 37°) on the rates of hydrolysis of TAME by a purified preparation of human thrombin and of bovine thrombokinase were determined in 0.25 M Tris.HCl buffer, pH 8.0 at 37°. Each salt had its own individual effects on the reactions and these effects were completely different when thrombin instead of thrombokinase was used. Each salt, however, had the same qualitative effects on TAME hydrolysis by crude bovine thrombin as by purified human thrombin, but only minor effects on the hydrolysis of TAME by trypsin.With the exception of LiCl, low concentrations of alkali chlorides had inhibitory and high concentrations had acceleratory effects on both the thrombin-TAME and the thrombokinase-TAME reactions. LiCl had no accelerating effects on either reaction and it was a stronger inhibitor of thrombokinase than of thrombin. In contrast to the alkali chlorides, the alkaline earth chlorides had no acceleratory effects but had inhibitory effects on both reactions. MgCl2, however, was an exception. It weakly accelerated the thrombokinase -TAME and weakly inhibited the thrombin -TAME reaction. When comparing 0.15 M concentrations of the salts (with the exception of BeCl2 which was the strongest inhibitor of both reactions), NaCl was the strongest inhibitor of the thrombin - TAME reaction, followed by CaCl2, but BaCl2 was the strongest inhibitor of the thrombokinase -TAME reaction, followed by KC1 and LiCl.Choline chloride and Tris.HCl in concentrations up to 3 M had no significant effects on the rate of hydrolysis of TAME by either human or bovine thrombin. Increasing the ionic strength above 0.16 (lower values were not tested), therefore, may have no effect on this reaction, and all of the inhibitions and accelerations found in the presence of the alkali chlorides or the alkaline earth chlorides may be entirely due to the individual cations. On the other hand, increasing the ionic strength may produce a small inhibitory effect, as found in the presence of LiCl or MgCl2, and the lack of any effect in presence of even large concentrations of Tris.HCl or choline chloride may be due to a fortuitous balancing of the weak inhibitory effect of ionic strength by the weak acceleratory effect of the choline and Tris cations.Choline chloride and Tris.HCl had no inhibitory effects but accelerated the thrombokinase -TAME reaction. Choline chloride was the strongest accelerator tested. Rates in the presence of 0.15 and 3 M choline chloride were respectively 204 and 601 % of the controls. Although the effects of ionic strength changes on this reaction could not be established, the data indicate that increasing the ionic strength has at most only a small effect, and the inhibitions and accelerations found are due primarily to the specific cations present.

Intestinal Mucosal Cells

The main products of intestinal hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides are free fatty acids and monoglycerides. These form micelles from which the lipids are absorbed across the mucosal cell brush border. Biochemical studies have indicated that intestinal mucosal cells possess a triglyceride synthesising system, which uses monoglyceride directly as an acylacceptor as well as the system found in other tissues in which alphaglycerophosphate is the acylacceptor. The former pathway is used preferentially for the resynthesis of triglyceride from absorbed lipid, while the latter is used mainly for phospholipid synthesis. Both lipids are incorporated into chylomicrons. Morphological studies have shown that during fat absorption there is an initial appearance of fat droplets within the cisternae of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and that these subsequently accumulate in the golgi elements from which they are released at the lateral borders of the cell as chylomicrons.We have recently developed several methods for the fine structural localization of acyltransferases dependent on the precipitation, in an electron dense form, of CoA released during the transfer of the acyl group to an acceptor, and have now applied these methods to a study of the fine structural localization of the enzymes involved in chylomicron lipid biosynthesis. These methods are based on the reduction of ferricyanide ions by the free SH group of CoA.

Introduction Previously we had suggested (l) that the striations observed in the pod shaped crystals of β FeOOH were an artefact of imaging in the electron microscope. Contrary to this adsorption measurements on bulk material had indicated the presence of some porosity and Gallagher (2) had proposed a model structure - based on the hollandite structure - showing the hollandite rods forming the sides of 30Å pores running the length of the crystal. Low resolution electron microscopy by Watson (3) on sectioned crystals embedded in methylmethacrylate had tended to support the existence of such pores.We have applied modern high resolution techniques to the bulk crystals and thin sections of them without confirming these earlier postulatesExperimental β FeOOH was prepared by room temperature hydrolysis of 0.01M solutions of FeCl3.6H2O, The precipitate was washed, dried in air, and embedded in Scandiplast resin. The sections were out on an LKB III Ultramicrotome to a thickness of about 500Å.

Cyclic Amp Signaling

The second messenger 3′,5′-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil specific functions. To define the function of cAMP within these microdomains, signaling needs to be analyzed with spatio-temporal precision. To this end, optogenetic approaches and genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors are particularly well suited. Synthesis and hydrolysis of cAMP can be directly manipulated by photoactivated adenylyl cyclases (PACs) and light-regulated phosphodiesterases (PDEs), respectively. In addition, many biosensors have been designed to spatially and temporarily resolve cAMP dynamics in the cell. This review provides an overview about optogenetic tools and biosensors to shed light on the subcellular organization of cAMP signaling.
