    Notes:
    Serotonin has been shown to be a neuromodulator in the Aplysia californica CNS. The diversity of serotonin actions is due to the existence of several different receptor subtypes. In this study we report the cloning of a full-length cDNA, coding for a novel serotonin receptor (5-HTap2). The receptor protein bears the characteristics of G protein-coupled receptors. It shares 68% and 34% of its amino acid sequence identity with the 5-HTlym receptor from Lymnaea stagnalis and the mammalian 5-HT1A receptor, respectively. When transfected in HEK 293 cells, 5-HTap2 was negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase. Ligand binding analysis indicated that the order of potencies of various drugs for the inhibition of [3H]LSD binding was: methiothepin 〉 metergoline 〉 5-CT 〉 PAPP 〉 5-HT 〉 ketanserin 〉 NAN-190 〉 8-OH-DPAT 〉 clozapine. RT-PCR amplification of RNA isolated from different tissues indicated that this receptor is expressed in the CNS and in bag cells. The expression of 5-HTap2 restricted to the CNS suggests an important role for this receptor in the modulation of neuronal functions in Aplysia. Moreover, the high expression of 5-HTap2 in the bag cells, associated with its pharmacological profile, suggests that this receptor may be implicated in modulating the afterdischarge during the egg-laying behavior.

    Notes:
    Abstract: Peptidylglycine α-amidating enzyme (PAM; EC 1.14.17.3) is responsible for the conversion of peptides with a COOH-terminal glycine into α-amidated peptides, a posttranslational modification often required for biological activity and/or increased stability. Such an activity able to convert the model peptide d-Tyr-Val-Gly into d-Tyr-Val-amide was found to be present in the marine mollusk Aplysia californica. Examination of this amidating activity as well as its immunoreactivity demonstrates that (1) it can be found mainly in the atrial gland, heart, and CNS but is barely detectable in the hepatopancreas and gonads, (2) it requires as essential cofactors copper, molecular oxygen, and ascorbate, and (3) it exists in at least two molecular forms, a soluble and a membrane-bound form. Purification of this activity from the atrial gland was accomplished using Cu2+-chelating Sepharose, gel permeation, and hydroxyapatite chromatography. In addition, using polyclonal antibodies raised against various parts of the rat amidating enzyme, we demonstrate that numerous immunologically recognized regions are conserved in both the soluble and membrane-bound Aplysia californica PAM.

    Notes:
    Abstract: In the marine mollusk Aplysia californica, serotonin initiates three phases of translational regulation: an initial decrease in translation, followed by a transient increase in protein synthesis, both of which are independent of transcription, followed by a later increase in protein synthesis that is dependent on transcription. These increases in protein synthesis may underlie translation-dependent changes in synaptic plasticity. We have characterized the second messenger pathways that underlie these changes in the pleural ganglia of Aplysia. Activation of protein kinase C was both necessary and sufficient for the initial decrease in translation. Protein kinase C, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and a tyrosine kinase were all required for the second phase, a transient increase in protein synthesis. The late increase in protein synthesis required both protein kinase A and spaced applications of serotonin. Rapamycin, a specific inhibitor of a downstream translational regulator, blocked the transient increase in protein synthesis (second phase), suggesting that this drug may be useful in determining the specific physiological consequences of this translational regulation. Indeed, we used rapamycin to demonstrate that one type of intermediate form of synaptic plasticity induced by serotonin did not require the rapamycin-sensitive increase in translation.

    Notes:
    Abstract: Peptide diversity can be regulated in many ways. One of the possible mechanisms of such a regulation may lie in the differential processing of a precursor in a tissue-specific manner or in a modulated processing within a single cell. To address these questions the enzymes responsible for the release of active neuropeptides first need to be well characterized. In this study, we have established the cellular distributions of the recently cloned prohormone convertases aPC2 and aPC1B in Aplysia californica and found the distribution of these enzymes to be mainly neuronal and endocrine. We then investigated in two sets of neurons (bag cell neurons and sensory neurons) the possible regulation of these two prohormone convertases by a neurotransmitter known to modulate behavior in Aplysia. In these neurons, we found that only aPC2 is regulated by serotonin possibly via the cyclic AMP cascade. Finally, a study of the biosynthesis of the bag cell egg-laying hormone precursor after treatment with serotonin suggests that such a treatment may increase its processing.

    Notes:
    Spherical and monodisperse Co20Ni80 particles were prepared, in the micrometer and submicrometer size range, by the polyol process. X-ray diffraction showed crystalline particles with a fcc structure. From electron probe microanalysis a fairly homogeneous distribution of both elements within each particle was observed. Microwave properties of metal particles dielectric matrix composites were studied in the 0.1–18 GHz range for different filler concentrations. The intrinsic permeability of the metal powders was obtained using the Bruggeman effective medium theory. The control of the particle size allowed the study of its effect upon dynamic permeability. Whereas micrometer size particle permeability presents a single resonance band at low frequencies which can be correlated to the low magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the particles, submicrometer size particle permeability exhibits an original behavior, never reported before, with several resonance bands.

    Notes:
    Spherical, monodispersed, ferromagnetic, metallic particles of different compositions were obtained by the polyol process with a mean radius ranging from 30 nm to 1 μm. The microwave permeability of metallic particles-dielectric matrix composites were studied in the range of 0.1–18 GHz. In the wide particle size range investigated, a size dependence of the dynamic permeability was observed. Whereas the permeability of micrometer-sized particles shows a single resonance band, the permeability of submicrometer-sized particles exhibits several narrow resonance bands which are shifted to high frequencies with decreasing particle size. This latter behavior was found to be in qualitative agreement with the exchange resonance modes calculated by Aharoni. That theory, however, gives an R−2 dependence on particle radius for the resonance frequency instead of the R−0.66 dependence observed experimentally. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes:
    We have identified an alternatively spliced form of synaptotagmin I in Aplysia neurons. This isoform, synaptotagmin I C2B-β, is generated by alternative exon usage in the C2B domain leading to nine amino acid changes in the C2B sequence from the previously characterized synaptotagmin I, now designated as synaptotagmin I C2B-α. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that approximately 25% of mRNA encoding synaptotagmin I contained the C2B-β exon in the nervous system. Synaptotagmin I C2B-β showed greater resistance to digestion by chymotrypsin in the absence of calcium than did synaptotagmin I C2B-α, although both isoforms required the same amount of calcium to resist chymotrypsin digestion. The source of these changes in C2B properties was mapped to a single amino acid (threonine 358). We have also cloned SNAP 25 in Aplysia and show that it binds synaptotagmin I C2B-β with a higher affinity than synaptotagmin I C2B-α. These results suggest that this splicing alters biochemical properties of the C2B domain, affecting a number of its important known interactions.

    Notes:
    The case study presented in this paper illustrates how statistical methods can help to understand the relationships between ground-water wells and pollutant sources in alluvial systems. The observation of a time series of chloride concentrations in a specific well in Strasbourg, France, influenced by the infiltration of chlorinated water from the Rhine river, made it possible to derive a two-predictor model of the water quality in the well. This model combines a linear dependence upon a time-lagged chloride concentration in the river, reflecting the steady-state water balance in the well, and a nonlinear dependence upon average lagged water output pumped from the well. This simple model explains 86% of the variance in well chloride concentration measured weekly over a two year period.

    Notes:
    The etiologic role of Bacteroides in both periodontal and periapical infections has been well documented, with current interest focusing on the specific pathogenic mechanisms involved. The effects of cell fractions derived from Bacteroides gingivalis (BG), Bacteroides intermedius (BI), and Bacteroides asaccharolyticus (BA) have been studied in vitro through: an assessment of the direct cytotoxic effects on human gingival fibroblasts using a tetrazolium dye reduction assay, an evaluation of murine lymphocyte stimulation and interleukin-1release, and the induction of human lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity. Both BG and BI stimulated interleukin-1release (P〈0.001), while BA, a nonoral organism, was not significantly active in this respect. Only BG sonicates were able to induce lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity (P 〈 0.005). All three Bacteroides species demonstrated direct cytotoxic effects on cultured gingival fibroblasts, and these effects were related to the relative protein content and endotoxin activity of the sonicate preparations for each organism. These data show that BG and BI possess factors which may enhance their virulence through activities not shared with BA.
