    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das Verteilungsmuster der DNase-Aktivität1 im Urin von Normalpersonen und X.p.-Patienten wurde mit einem mikro-disk-elektrophoretischen Verfahren untersucht. Bei saurer Inkubation sind 4 distinkte Aktivitätsbanden im Normalurin nachweisbar. Urin von X.p.-Patienten zeigt eine deutliche Verminderung der 2.–4. Bande, wobei die Veränderung der 3. Bande besonders auffällig ist. Es wurde ferner untersucht, wie sich das Verhalten verändert, wenn statt nativer DNA denaturierte als Substrat angeboten und wenn die zweiwertigen Ionen durch EDTA komplexiert wurden. Eine Aktivitätsverminderung ist nicht auf das Auftreten von Inhibitoren zurückzuführen, sondern wahrscheinlich durch eine Konzentrationsverminderung an Enzym verursacht.
    Notes: Summary The distribution pattern of desoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity1 in the urine of healthy subjects and xeroderma pigmentosum (X.p.) patients has been examined by micro disc electrophoresis. When incubated at pH 5.0, four distinct bands of DNase activity are shown in normal urine. In urine of X.p. patients a significant decrease of the second to fourth band can be observed. The change of the third band is extremely obvious. Further to the influence of native DNA, denaturated DNA and EDTA on the pattern of DNase activities were studied. The decrease of DNase activity in X. p. urine is not due to the presence of an inhibitor but is rather caused by lower enzyme concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract To date, no conclusive evidence has been presented for the existence of neuronal-like elements in Porifera (sponges). In the present study, isolated cells from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium are shown to react to the excitatory amino acid glutamate with an increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium[Ca2+]i. This effect can also be observed when the compounds L-quisqualic acid (L-QA) or L-(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP-4) are used. The effect of L-QA and L-AP-4, both agonists for metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), can be abolished by the antagonist of group I mGluRs, (RS)-α-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine. These data suggest that sponge cells contain an mGluR-like protein. A cDNA encoding rat mGluR subtype 1 has been used to identify the complete nucleotide sequence of G. cydonium cDNA coding for a 528-amino-acid-long protein (59 kDa) that displays marked overall similarity to mGluRs and to γ-amino-butyric acid B receptors. The deduced sponge polypeptide, termed putative mGlu/GABA-like receptor, displays the highest similarity to the two families of metabotropic receptors within the transmembrane segment. The N-terminal part of the sponge sequence shows similarity to mGluR4 and mGluR5. These findings suggest that the earliest evolutionary metazoan phylum, the Porifera, possesses a sophisticated intercellular communication and signaling system, as seen in the neuronal network of higher Metazoa.
