Structural Significance

This chapter elaborates the book’s theoretical framework by focusing on the three critical variables—structural, institutional, and coalitional—that help explain the outcome of the two types of subnational policy challenges conceptualized in Chapter 1. It argues that a subnational jurisdiction’s structural significance is critical for the ability to influence the national policy regime (the second type of policy challenge), while its institutional capacity is essential for the defense of ideologically deviant subnational policy regimes (the first type of policy challenge). The third variable, internal and external coalitional strength, matters for both types of challenges. After situating these hypotheses relative to a variety of political science literatures, the chapter then introduces the Bolivian, Ecuadorian, and Peruvian cases by focusing on the similarities that make these countries a productive site for small-N comparison. The chapter also scores each country on the dependent variable and describes the book’s data-collection methods.

Structural Significance

A water-soluble polysaccharide isolated from the kernel of coconut (Cocos nucifera) had [α]D −85° and contained D-galactose (1 mole) and D-mannose (2 moles). Methylation and hydrolysis yielded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-mannose (0.51 mole); 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactose (0.5 mole); 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose (5.52 moles); 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-galactose (1.51 moles); and a di-O-methyl-D-galactose (1 mole). These data agree with those of periodate oxidation. The structural significance of these results is discussed.

Structural Significance

The nitrogen and β-hydrogen hyperfine splitting constants (hfsc) for phenyl, 4-nitrophenyl, 4-pyridyl, benzoyl, and trichloromethyl spin adducts of α-phenyl tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) as well as for the tert-butoxyl adduct of 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) have been obtained as a function of solvent (30 solvents). A useful linear relationship between the β-H hfsc and the N-hfsc of each aminoxyl is found except for the benzoyl adduct of PBN. Some speculations regarding the structural significance of these correlations is presented.

Molecular Proportion

The extracellular polysaccharide isolated from cultures of Xanthomonas oryzae is composed of D-glucose (5 molecular proportions), D-glucuronic acid (2 molecular proportions), and D-mannose (5 molecular proportions). Acid hydrolysis of this polysaccharide, which contains 0.3% combined pyruvic acid, yields 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid D-mannose, which has been characterized as its crystalline fully methylated β-glycoside. Hydrolysis of the methylated polysaccharide gives 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-mannose (3 molecular proportions), 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid (1 molecular proportion), 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose (4 molecular proportions), 3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose (2 molecular proportions), 2,6-di-O-methyl-D-glucose (3 molecular proportions), 2,3-di-O-methyl-D-glucose (1 molecular proportion). The polyalcohol derived from the polysaccharide by periodate oxidation followed by sodium borohydride reduction gives upon acid hydrolysis glycerol (2 molecular proportions), erythritol (1 molecular proportion), and D-glucose (1 molecular proportion). The general structural significance of these findings is discussed.

Structural Significance

MuRF1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase central to muscle catabolism. It belongs to the TRIM protein family characterized by a tripartite fold of RING, B-box and coiled-coil (CC) motifs, followed by variable C-terminal domains. The CC motif is hypothesized to be responsible for domain organization in the fold as well as for high-order assembly into functional entities. But data on CC from this family that can clarify the structural significance of this motif are scarce. We have characterized the helical region from MuRF1 and show that, contrary to expectations, its CC domain assembles unproductively, being the B2- and COS-boxes in the fold (respectively flanking the CC) that promote a native quaternary structure. In particular, the C-terminal COS-box seemingly forms an α-hairpin that packs against the CC, influencing its dimerization. This shows that a C-terminal variable domain can be tightly integrated within the conserved TRIM fold to modulate its structure and function. Furthermore, data from transfected muscle show that in MuRF1 the COS-box mediates the in vivo targeting of sarcoskeletal structures and points to the pharmacological relevance of the COS domain for treating MuRF1-mediated muscle atrophy.

Structural Significance

The earthquake of 24 May 1968, was the second of damaging intensity to be experienced in Westport recently. The earlier (1962) quake was of smaller magnitude; but centred, as it was, at Westport it was probably felt with comparable intensity there. Restoration of widespread damage it caused undoubtedly reduced the extent of damage from the 1968 earthquake. Nevertheless the survey after the Inangahua earthquake showed clearly that some of the "remedial work” that followed the 1962 earthquake was simply patching up of surfaces, with no structural significance. Not surprisingly the 1962 wounds so "treated" appeared again in 1968.
