Light-Dependent Translocation of Arrestin in Rod Photoreceptors is Signaled through a Phospholipase C Cascade and Requires ATP
2009
Light adaptation of rod photoreceptors induces translocation of arrestin from inner segments (IS) to outer segments (OS). Our study suggests that components of the G-protein linked phosphoinositide pathway play a role in signaling the initiating events of arrestin translocation. We show that arrestin translocation can be stimulated by activators of phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) in the absence of light. Conversely, arrestin translocation to the OS is significantly slowed by inhibitors of PLC and PKC.In the second part of this study, we investigated the mechanism by which arrestin translocates in response to light. Other investigators have suggested that arrestin translocat…
Cyanide inhibits respiration yet stimulates aerobic growth of Zymomonas mobilis
2000
Potassium cyanide at submillimolar concentrations (20-500 microM) inhibited the high respiration rates of aerobic cultures of Zymomonas mobilis but, remarkably, stimulated culture growth. In batch culture, after an extended lag phase, exponential growth persisted longer, resulting in higher biomass densities. In aerobic chemostat cultures, elevated biomass concentration was observed in the presence of cyanide. This growth stimulation effect is attributed to decreased production of the inhibitory metabolite acetaldehyde at lowered respiration rates, when more reducing equivalents are channelled to alcohol dehydrogenase. Growth in the presence of cyanide did not alter the membrane cytochrome …
Nucleophilic Additions of the Cyanide Anion to 4,4-Dichloro-1,1-Diphenyl-2-Azabuta-1,3-Diene
2002
The unexpected formation of a 2H-pyrrole by reaction of potassium cyanide with 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene and the mechanism of this reaction are described and the structures of the product and a trapped intermediate confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies.
Über die anionische polymerisation von acrolein. Polymere acroleine. 34. Mitt.1
1967
Acrolein wurde mit Lithium-, Natrium- oder Kaliumcyanid in Tetrahydrofuran bzw.in Toluol polymerisiert. Die Abhangigkeit der Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit und der Struktur der Polymeren von Reaktionsmedium, Temperatur und Gegenion wurde untersucht. Unterhalb -10°C polymerisiert Acrolein mit Natriumcyanid nur uber die CO. Doppelbindung. Es entstehen hochmolekulare, losliche Poly-3,4-acroleine. Oberhalb -10°C wird dagegen auch Polymerisation uber die Vinylgruppe beobachtet. Die Kurve fur die Abhangigkeit der Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit von der Reaktionstemperatur durchlauft Extremwerte. Es wird ein Mechanismus aufgestellt, der die jeweilige Struktur des Polymeren als Ergebnis von Gleichge…
