Crude extracts of mycelia and basidiocarp primordia in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus were resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gels, and ubiquitin and several proteins were detected by immunoblotting with anti-ubiquitin antibody. The molecular masses of the proteins detected were 30 900, 28 600, 27 800, 26 300, 22 500, and 15 400 daltons, respectively. Relative levels of ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-immunoreactive proteins were measured in different stages of development. The levels of ubiquitin and most of the ubiquitin-immunoreactive proteins in basidiocarp primordium formation increased and in basidiocarp maturation decreased in cap and upper stipe, while in lower stipe became high except for the 27 800 dalton protein and ubiquitin. During sporulation, ubiquitin and all the ubiquitin-immunoreactive proteins tended to decrease in the cap of the young wild-type basidiocarp. The levels of 30 900 and 15 400 dalton proteins increased transiently at 6–10 h after the beginning of the last light period, while ubiquitin decreased markedly. No correlation was observed between changes in levels of the ubiquitin-immunoreactive proteins and the blocked stages in sporulation-deficient mutants.Key words: ubiquitin, development, sporulation, Coprinus.

Secreted endo-(1,4)-β-glucanases ("cellulases") of Achlya ambisexualis were analyzed by a technique that permits visualization of enzyme activity in situ after electrophoresis in gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate. Catalytic polypeptides with molecular masses of about 97, 74, 36, 29, and 25 kDa were observed in media from young cultures, though progressively fewer bands were observed as cultures aged. Based on size estimations of native enzymes with gel exclusion chromatography, the 97- and 36-kDa polypeptides were concluded to be subunits of a 245-kDa holoenzyme and the 25-kDa polypeptides were concluded to be subunits of a second holoenzyme of about 92 kDa. The data were insufficient to allow similar assignments for the more ephemeral 74- and 29-kDa polypeptides. The endoglucanases secreted during branch induction by antheridiol or 0.2% peptone comigrated in electrophoretic gels with enzymes secreted during normal assimilative growth. No endoglucanases specific to induced branching were observed.Key words: oomycetes, cell walls, endoglucanases, cellulases, antheridiol.

Trypanosoma evansiandTrypanosoma vivax, which are the major causative agents of animal trypanosomosis in Venezuela, have shown a very high immunological cross-reactivity. Since the production ofT. vivaxantigens is a limiting factor as this parasite is difficult to propagate in experimental animal models, our goal has been to identify and isolate antigens fromT. evansithat cross-react withT. vivax. Here, we used the VenezuelanT. evansiTEVA1 isolate to prepare the total parasite lysate and its corresponding cytosolic and membranous fractions. In order to extract theT. evansiintegral membrane proteins, the particulate portion was further extracted first with Triton X-100, and then with sodium dodecyl sulfate. After discarding the cytosolic and Triton X-100 solubilized proteins, we employed sedimentation by centrifugation on linear sucrose gradients to partially purify the sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized proteins from the Triton X-100 resistant particulate fraction ofT. evansi. We obtained enriched pools containing polypeptide bands with apparent molecular masses of 27 kDa, 31 kDa, and 53 kDa, which were recognized by anti-T. vivaxantibodies from experimentally and naturally infected bovines.
