Jarmo Moilanen (Finland) detected twelve meteors from a compact geocentric radiant at RA = 164.1 deg +- 2.0 deg, Dec. = +78.9 deg +-0.5 deg$, on the border of Draco and Camelopardalis, in the evening of 2005 October 5. The differential mass distribution index was a low s = 1.4+-0.2 (+0 to -6 magnitude). The new shower was confirmed by Esko Lyytinen (2 meteors, early period only, located at 25.00 deg E, +60.25 deg N) and Ilkka Yrjoelae (4 meteors: 26.4 deg E, +60.9 deg N) at nearby locations, and by Sirko Molau in Germany (7 meteors). Esko Lyytinen calculated an apparent speed of V_{g} = 47.3+-0.5 km/s from one two-station meteor, close to the parabolic limit. We conclude that the event was caused by the 1-revolution dust trail of a yet unidentified potentially Earth-threatening (Halley-type or) Intermediate Long-Period comet with orbital elements similar to those of the meteoroids: Epoch = 2005 October 5, a = infty (range 15 - infty) AU, q = 0.993+-0.001 AU, omega = 170.5+-1 deg, Omega = 192.59+-0.04 deg, and i = 78.53+-0.55 deg (J2000.0). % Z Anonymous, 1947, " Tähtitieteen Harrastajan Kirja", Rsan Julkaisuja III (URSA Publications III), Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura Kirjapaino Oy (Association of Finnish literature printing house), A book for amateur astronomers, 163-164 Bailey, G.

Animal cells dependent on exogenous phosphatidylcholine for membrane biogenesis.

A Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO) mutant (strain 58), defective in CDP-choline synthetase (cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase; CTP:cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.15), is temperature sensitive for growth and contains less than half of the normal amount of phosphatidylcholine under nonpermissive conditions [Esko, J. D. & Raetz, C. R. H. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 5192-5196]. We now report that the addition of 40 microM egg phosphatidylcholine or lysophosphatidylcholine to the medium suppresses the temperature sensitivity of mutant 58 and permits the growth of colonies at the restrictive temperature. Phospholipids with different polar headgroups, lipoprotein-bound phospholipids, sphingomyelin, and glycerophosphocholine do not support prolonged growth at 40 degrees C, whereas phosphatidylcholine analogs such as phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, D-phosphatidylcholine, and beta-phosphatidylcholine are quite effective. A broad range of saturated phosphatidylcholines, especially those with fatty acids 12-18 carbons in length, suppresses the phenotype. Phospholipids containing ether-linked hydrocarbons are ineffective, whereas polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines are toxic. Residual endogenous synthesis of phosphatidylcholine by the mutant is not stimulated under conditions of phenotypic bypass, but the uptake of exogenous lipid is enhanced considerably compared to the wild type. Our findings demonstrate that exogenous phospholipid can provide at least 50% of the phosphatidylcholine required for membrane biogenesis in animal cells and that uptake of exogenous phospholipids may be regulated.

Human retroviruses and AIDS 1997

This compendium is the result of an effort to compile, organize, and rapidly publish as much relevant molecular data concerning the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and related retroviruses as possible. The scope of the compendium and database is best summarized by the four parts that it comprises: (1) Nucleic Acid Alignments, (2) Amino Acid Alignments, (3) Reviews and Analyses, and (4) Related Sequences. Information within all the parts is updated throughout the year on the Web site, http://hiv-web.lanl.gov. This year we are not including floppy diskettes as the entire compendium is available both at our Web site and at ourmore » ftp site. If you need floppy diskettes please contact either Bette Korber (btk@t10.lanl.gov) or Kersti Rock (karm@t10.lanl.gov) by email or fax ((505) 665-4453). While this publication could take the form of a review or sequence monograph, it is not so conceived. Instead, the literature from which the database is derived has simply been summarized and some elementary computational analyses have been performed upon the data. Interpretation and commentary have been avoided insofar as possible so that the reader can form his or her own judgments concerning the complex information. The exception to this are reviews submitted by experts in areas deemed of particular and basic importance to research involving AIDS viral sequence information. These are included in Part III, and are contributed by scientists with particular expertise in the area of interest. In addition to the general descriptions below of the parts of the compendium, the user should read the individual introductions for each part.« less
