Virion-associated high-molecular-weight (HMW) RNA synthesized in vitro by purified vaccinia virus particles has been translated in a wheat germ cell-free protein synthesizing system. Purified HMW RNA directs the synthesis of translation products which are identical to the translation products made in response to in vitro-synthesized, virion-released 8 to 12S mRNA. The translation of HMW RNA pro...

The calcium content of bovine and human lens proteins has been determined. High molecular weight (HMW) bovine a-crystallin contains about three times more calcium than other soluble bovine lens proteins, while the calcium content of HMW human lens protein is approximately 10 times greater than its low molecular weight (LMW) counterpart. The calcium could not be removed by exhaustive dialysis at...

Nontypable Haemophilus influenzae are Gram-negative bacilli that represent a common cause of human disease. These organisms initiate infection by colonizing the upper respiratory tract. Despite the essential role of colonization, the bacterial determinants of this process remain poorly defined. We recently identified a family of surface-exposed high-molecular-weight proteins of nontypable H. in...

The human high molecular weight-melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) meets the criteria to be used as an immunogen for immunotherapy of malignant melanoma, because it is expressed by a large percentage of melanoma lesions with limited heterogeneity and has a restricted distribution in normal tissues. The high immunogenicity of the HMW-MAA in BALB/c mice has resulted in the development of a lar...

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) composition was analyzed by sodium-dodecyl-sulfatpolyacrilamid-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), while the quantitative determination of total HMW-GS was obtained by reversed phasehigh performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Considering HMW-GS composition, the most frequent subunits at Glu-A1 locus were N, at Glu-B1 locus 7+9 and at Glu-D1 loc...

PURPOSE Lens alpha-crystallins, composed of two subunits of alphaA- and alphaB-crystallin, form low molecular weight (LMW) water soluble aggregates with an average molecular mass of approximately 800 kDa. In the intact lens, some of the alpha-crystallins are associated with even larger high-molecular-weight (HMW) aggregates which are thought to be precursors of components found in the water ins...

In a recent study we detected marked differences in the antigenic profile of acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) and nodular melanoma lesions. Furthermore, we showed that the human high molecular weight melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) is expressed with a significantly higher frequency in metastatic than in primary ALM lesions. Because of the potential role of HMW-MAA in the metastatic proces...

Cilia play major functions in physiology and development, and ciliary dysfunctions are responsible for several diseases in humans called ciliopathies. Cilia motility is required for cell and fluid propulsion in organisms. In humans, cilia motility deficiencies lead to primary ciliary dyskinesia, with upper-airways recurrent infections, left-right asymmetry perturbations, and fertility defects. ...
