We have shown previously that a 'soluble' form of PrP (prion protein), not associated with membranous vesicles, exists in the male reproductive fluid [Ecroyd, Sarradin, Dacheux and Gatti (2004) Biol. Reprod. 71, 993-1001]. Attempts to purify this 'soluble' PrP indicated that it behaves like a high-molecular-mass complex of more than 350 kDa and always co-purified with the same set of proteins. The main associated proteins were sequenced by MS and were found to match to clusterin (apolipoprotein J), BPI (bacterial permeability-increasing protein), carboxylesterase-like urinary excreted protein (cauxin), beta-mannosidase and beta-galactosidase. Immunoblotting and enzymatic assay confirmed the presence of clusterin and …

Soil erosion in the Canterbury high country has been a concern for many years, and Environment Canterbury wishes to encourage land management practices that will preserve soil quality and vegetative cover. Environment Canterbury brought to MISG2005 a data set spanning three decades of bare ground monitoring in the Canterbury high country, along with data on factors with potential to impact on the processes of revegetation. These include topographic and climate data, soil nutrient status and land management factors. The study group analysed these data with the aim of determining whether trends in bare ground can be predicted from the potential …
