The dimeric enzyme glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI-1) is regulated in oocytes by a cis-acting temporal gene (Gpi-1t) that maps close to the structural gene (Gpi-1s). Quantitative cellulose acetate electrophoresis of GPI-1 allozymes from unfertilized eggs produced by various Gpi-1sa / Gpi-1sb heterozygous females revealed a new Gpi-1t allele that we have designated Gpi-1tc. This allele is present in 101/H mice and a partially congenie stock that carries the Gpi-lsa gene derived from the AKR strain. We have confirmed that Gpi-1tc is closely linked to Gpi-1s and that it is cis-acting. It produces higher levels of GPI-1 in unfertilized eggs than the other two Gpi-lt alleles that are known (Gpi-1ta and Gpi-1tb) but has no effect on GPI-1 in somatic tissues or spermatozoa. This new Gpi-1t allele represents a third developmental programme for GPI-1 expression in oocytes.

The proportions of glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI-1) allozymes produced by early (Gpi-1sa/Gpi-1sb ♀ × Gpi-1sc/Gpi-1sc ♂)F1 mouse embryos were analysed by quantitative cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Technical controls showed that this system is extremely sensitive, quantitatively reproducible and quite accurate. Genetic controls established that the Gpi-1sa/Gpi-1sb mothers were homozygous for the Gpi-1tb temporal allele, that produces relatively high GPI-1 activity in the oocyte. The oocyte-coded enzyme lasted until about 5½ days post coitum (p.c.) or shortly thereafter. The maternally derived, embryonic Gpi-1s allele was expressed no earlier than the paternally derived allele. This was first expressed between 2½ and 3½ days p.c. In this cross, most of the transition from oocyte-coded to embryo-coded GPI-1 occurred between 2½ and 3½ days p.c.

Ultrafiltration cellulose acetate membrane can be transformed by annealing into reverse osmosis membranes (RO type). Annealing brings about changes in structural properties of the membranes, accompanied by changes in their permeability behaviour and electrical properties. Correlations between structure parameters and electrochemical properties are shown for the temperature range 20-90 °C. Relations have been derived which explain the role played by the dc electrical conductivity in the characterization of rejection ability of the membranes in the reverse osmosis, i.e. rRO = (1 + exp (A-B))-1, where exp A and exp B are statistically significant correlation functions of electrical conductivity and salt permeation, or of electrical conductivity and water flux through the membrane, respectively.

AbstractStudies on human and murine isolates of Schistosoma mansoni, from Richard-Toll, Senegal, were carried out by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. Seven enzyme systems; lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), acid phosphatase (AcP), hexokinase (HK), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), and phosphoglucomutase (PGM), were used to compare the two isolates. All systems tested, apart from LDH, were found to be polymorphic for both isolates. Interestingly, one phenotype is more frequent than the remainder. The results show that there is no significant genetic variation between the S. mansoni isolates from man and the rodents, Arvicanthis niloticus and Mastomys huberti.
