We have isolated individual mitochondrial tRNAs from a petite mutant OI-P2-1 known to contain a limited subset of mitochondrial tRNA genes and have mapped these genes on the wild type genome of the yeast strains MH41-7B and D273-10B. To obtain DNA for fine structure mapping and DNA sequence analysis of these genes, we screened a yeast mitochondrial DNA-pBR322 recombinant bank with the isolated tRNAs. We report here the fine structure mapping of recombinant clones containing the tryptophan, formyl methionine and proline tRNA genes as well as the DNA sequence of the proline tRNA gene. The combination of restriction mapping and DNA sequence analysis has enabled us to locate these genes precisely on the wild type genome and to determine their direction of transcription.
Porcine PBPC activate HUVEC, as suggested by an increase in surface E-selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 levels, and have a maximum effect after 9 hr. Freezing of PBPC does not affect PBPC-induced activation of HUVEC. PBL induce greater activation of HUVEC than do PBPC. CD2- cells are primarily responsible for PBPC-induced activation of HUVEC and direct cell-cell contact is required. Removal of CD2- cells before the administration of PBPC or the use of agents that interrupt PBPC-endothelial cell interactions may prevent or treat TM in baboons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
