DEVELOPMENT OF AN in vitro SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION-INDUCED SUPPRESSION OF NATURAL KILLER CELL ACTIVITY

Previous studies have shown that natural killer (NK) cell activity was suppressed in volunteer subjects exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from solarium lamps. The present studies were carried out to determine that spectrum of UVR responsible for suppression of NK activity and to develop in vitro methods to analyze the effectivenes of sunscreen agents in prevention of UVR-mediated suppression of NK activity and other aspects of immune function. UVR from a xenon are lamp source was used to irradiate peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in wells of tissue culture flasks, and transmission interference filters were used to eliminate UVR of particular wavelengths. The results indicated that UVR from this source inhibited NK activity of PBL in a dose-dependent manner with a 50% inhibitory dose of 5.5 mJ/cm² when unfiltered and 29.6 mJ/cm² when diluted through cellulose acetate, which gave a UV spectrum similar to that in solar radiation. Equivalent suppression of NK activity was mediated by UV-A (UVR > 315 nm) at dose levels of 4.2 J/cm², which was approximately 140 times greater than the amount of UV-B (UVR > 315 nm) needed to suppress NK activity. Similar dose-response curves were seen for inhibition of mitogenic responses to phytohemagglutinin except that the latter appeared less sensitive than NK to inhibition by UV-A. These studies suggest that whe the greater proportion of UV-A in solar radiation adn its greater penetration into skin is taken into account, UV-A may have equivalent or greater direct immunosuppressive effects than UV-B. The mechanisms of their immunosuppressive effects may, however, differ. The in vitro system described here would appear to provide a simple test system for further analysis of UVR-indued imunosuppression.

Cu-Zn-Sn体系富Sn区液相限的研究

近些年来,无铅低熔点填料日渐引起人们的兴趣,且将得到广泛的应用。Cu-Zn-Sn合金正是无铅低熔点填料的一种基本合金。该体系相图虽有一些报道,但他们的研究只涉及富铜区(>50Wt％)的液相限和等温截面(500℃)。我们颇感兴趣的富Sn区的液相限,尚未见文献报道,因此测定该体系富Sn区的液相限是必要的。关于Cu-Zn-Sn体系的三个相关二元体系,已有文献报道,也较成熟。对于Cu-Zn体系,富Zn区600℃以下存在两个转熔反应,其转熔点分别为Q(～88Wt％Zn,598℃),W(97.5-98.5Wt％Zn,424℃);Cu-Sn体系富Sn区有一个转熔反应,其转熔点     

A PHOTORECEPTOR SYSTEM REGULATING in vivo AND in vitro PHOSPHORYLATION OF A PEA PLASMA MEMBRANE PROTEIN

Abstract
We have continued to characterize the blue light-regulated phosphorylation of a 120 kDa pea plasma membrane protein thought to be involved in sensory transduction for phototropism (Short and Briggs, 1990, Plant Physiol. 92 , 179–185). By incubating pea stem sections in ³²P-phosphate, we show that the 120 kDa protein is phosphorylated in vivo only after blue light irradiation and that the photosensitive fluence range matches that for phototropism. Blue light induces phosphorylation of the protein in vitro as well, but the fluences required to elicit the response are at least 30-fold higher. Triton solubilization of the plasma membrane vesicles does not further alter the fluence-response relationship. Very little turnover was detected over 20 min phosphorylation time courses or by pulse-chase experiments on unirradiated, blue light pulse-irradiated, or continuously irradiated membranes. Experiments with a dark period intervening between irradiation and addition of adenosine triphosphate show the light-induced change to persist for several minutes at 30°C. Agents that disrupt the normal photochemistry of flavins preferentially inhibit the light-induced enhancement of phosphorylation, suggesting a flavin chromophore. However, exogenous free flavins do not affect the sensitivity of the response. Staphylococcus aureus V-8 proteolysis of the phosphorylated protein from membranes subjected to a range of fluences before phosphorylation shows that the radiolabel on each of three peptides increases in proportion to the phosphorylation level of the undigested polypeptide. These studies may be valuable for assessing the nature of the photoreceptor and for unravelling the early sensory transduction steps in phototropism.     

A PULSED LASER SYSTEM FOR THE STUDY OF MICRO-SECOND DELAYED FLUORESCENCE FROM PLANTS

Abstract—A new laser system is designed for the investigation of S delayed fluorescence. This is intended to overcome some undesirable features present in other current designs, such as low actinic light fluxes and long illumination times, or slow responses owing to long turn-off times of the stimulation source and the presence of fluorescence artifacts.
The system uses a pulsed argon-ion laser and bears little resemblance to either the modified Becquerel phosphoroscope used by Lavorel (1971) or to those systems requiring shutters. Cheapness of design together with the ability to adjust such parameters as pulse duration easily, make this design attractive to most laboratories in which short (10 μs) high intensity (10⁵ W m^-2) pulses with rapid (1.5 μs) turn-off times and high on-to-off contrast ratios (10⁶:1) are required.
Certain design criteria are strictly imposed in order to produce kinetic data that can be meaningfully analysed.

THE ACTION SPECTRUM OF AN IN VITRO DNA PHOTOREACTIVATION SYSTEM

Abstract— The wavelength-dependence of in vitro photoreactivation of transforming DNA by yeast extract has been determined. There is an intensity-dependent lag at the beginning of the biological reaction. There is a similar lag in the splitting of thymine dimers by the yeast extract in the light, a process known to account for most or all of the increase in transforming activity of photoreactivated DNA. The most efficient wavelengths for photoreactivation are around 3550 and 3850 Å. Although the action spectrum is not very similar to flavin absorption, riboflavin at very low concentration inhibits photoreactivation, as it also inhibits a number of flavoenzymes, suggesting that the photoreactivating enzyme might be a flavoprotein.

PHYTOCHROME and THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION CAPACITY—AN APPRAISAL OF THE EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH*

Abstract— Development of the capacity for photophosphorylation (= total capacity for light-driven ATP formation) in the mustard ( Sinapis alba L.) cotyledons is strongly influenced by a red light pulse pretreatment which operates through phytochrome. The present report deals with several objections raised against the in situ assay of the rate of photophosphorylation. Experimental evidence is given in support of the assumption that the linear increase of the ATP content of the cotyledons as measured over 1.5 min after the onset of saturating white light (370 Wm^-2) in fact represents the maximum rate of photophosphorylation ('capacity'). Moreover, it is confirmed that control by phytochrome of the development of the photophosphorylation capacity and of the capacity for chlorophyll synthesis are unrelated phenomena. The failure of development of the capacity for photophosphorylation in isolated cotyledons from dark-grown seedlings cannot be attributed to deficiencies of chlorophyll synthesis.
It is concluded that the photophosphorylation response is particularly useful to study the mechanism of phytochrome (P_fr) action in case of a response which involves a threshold reaction and an interorgan (hook→cotyledon) cooperation.

PHOTORESPONSES OF Arabidopsis SEEDLINGS EXPRESSING AN INTRODUCED OAT phyA cDNA: PERSISTENCE OF ETIOLATED PLANT TYPE RESPONSES IN LIGHT-GROWN PLANTS

The photocontrol of hypocotyl elongation has been studied in etiolated and light-grown wild type (WT) Arabidopsis thaliana (L. Heynh) seedlings, and in two homozygous isogenic lines that have been transformed with the oat phy A gene coding sequence under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. For etiolated seedlings the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by continuous broad band far-red light (FR) is saturated at much lower photon fluence rates in the transgenic seedlings compared with WT seedlings. Furthermore, whereas de-etiolation of WT seedlings leads to loss of responsiveness of the hypocotyls to prolonged FR, de-etiolated transgenic seedlings continue to show a pronounced FR-mediated inhibition of elongation. This may reflect the persistence of a FR-high irradiance response (HIR) mediated by the introduced oat phytochrome A. Although the hypocotyls of light-grown transgenic seedlings display a qualitatively normal end-of-day FR growth promotion, such seedlings display an aberrant shade-avoidance response to reduced red:far-red ratio (R:FR). These results are discussed in relation to the proposal that the constitutive expression of phytochrome A leads to the persistence of photoresponse modes normally restricted to etiolated plants.
