Benjamin Spock: A Two-Century Man, Bettye Caldwell

The Courier

1TWAS a great honor for me to be invited to give the keynote talk at this symposium honoring Benjamin Spock and celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Baby and Child Care. I am delighted to have this chance to pay homage to a man who has done so much for children and parents everywhere and who has awarded his friendship freely to those fortunate enough to have come into his orbit. Ben Spock the human being is a unique gestalt-that is, his total legacy is more than the sum ofhis clinical care, his writings, his teaching, and his …

Asct-1 Is A Neutral Amino Acid Exchanger With Chloride Channel Activity, Noa Zerangue, Michael Kavanaugh

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

The ubiquitous transport activity known as system ASC is characterized by a preference for small neutral amino acids including alanine, serine, and cysteine. ASCT-1 and ASCT-2, recently cloned transporters exhibiting system ASC-like selectivity, are members of a major amino acid transporter family that includes a number of glutamate transporters. Here we show that ASCT1 functions as an electroneutral exchanger that mediates negligible net amino acid flux. The electrical currents previously shown to be associated with ASCT1-mediated transport result from activation of a thermodynamically uncoupled chloride conductance with permeation properties similar to those described for the glutamate transporter subfamily. Like glutamate …

Decreases In Ovarian Cytochrome P450c17 Alpha Activity And Serum Free Testosterone After Reduction Of Insulin Secretion In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, John E. Nestler , M.D., Daniela J. Jakubowicz , M.D.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Publications

BACKGROUND

Insulin resistance and increased ovarian cytochrome P450c17α activity are both features of the polycystic ovary syndrome. P450c17α, which is involved in androgen biosynthesis, has both 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. Increased activity of this enzyme results in exaggerated conversion of progesterone to 17α-hydroxyprogesterone in response to stimulation by gonadotropin. We hypothesized that hyperinsulinemia stimulates ovarian P450c17α activity.

METHODS

We measured serum steroid concentrations during fasting and the response of serum 17α-hydroxyprogesterone to leuprolide, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, and performed oral glucose-tolerance tests before and after oral administration of either metformin (500 mg three times daily) or placebo for four to …

Truncated Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli (Ehec) O157:H7 Intimin (Eaea) Fusion Proteins Promote Adherence Of Ehec Strains To Hep-2 Cells, Marian L. Mckee, Alison D. O'Brien

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Intimin, the product of the eaeA gene in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC), is required for intimate adherence of these organisms to tissue culture cells and formation of the attaching and effacing lesion in the gnotobiotic pig. Because of the importance of intimin in the pathogenesis of EHEC O157:H7 infection in this animal model, we began a structure-function analysis of EaeA. For this purpose, we constructed amino-terminal fusions of the intimin protein with six histidine residues to form two independent fusions. The longer fusion, RIHisEae, contained 900 of the 935 predicted amino acids and included all but the extreme amino …

Kinetics And Stoichiometry Of A Proton/Myo-Inositol Cotransporter, Elizabeth M. Klamo, Mark E. Drew, Scott M. Landfear, Michael Kavanaugh

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Voltage clamp recording was used to measure steady-state and presteady-state currents mediated by a myo-inositol transporter cloned from Leishmania donovani and expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Application of myo-inositol resulted in inward currents, which did not require external sodium and which were increased by increasing the extracellular proton concentration and by membrane hyperpolarization. Alkalinization of the extracellular space occurred concomitantly with myo-inositol influx. Correlation of membrane currents with radiolabeled myo-inositol flux revealed that one positive charge is translocated with each molecule of myo-inositol, consistent with cotransport of one proton. The transport concentration dependence on both species …
