BACKGROUND A plasma glucose value ≥155 mg/dl for 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at high-risk for type-2 diabetes and with subclinical organ damage. We designed this study to address if 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] circulating levels are associated with glucose tolerance status, and in...

To identify critical amino acid residues recognized by alloreactive cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated between H-2Kb and H-2Kbm1, we have derived a series of cloned L-cell lines expressing the following mutant H-2Kb class I genes. Cell line L-KbTyr-Tyr expresses a mutant gene in which positions 155-156 of the Kb molecule have been changed from Arg-Leu to Tyr-Tyr, leaving position 152 uncha...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable B lymphocyte cancer. To date, a comparative analysis of global protein metabolism for the MM cell line CCL-155 (RPMI-8226) and the non-cancerous B lymphocyte cell line CCL-156 (RPMI‑1788) has not been published. Here, we report that both global protein synthesis and degradation occur at a higher rate in MM cel...

We discuss our recent results on the Escherichia coli F-ATPase, in particular its catalytic site in the beta subunit and regulation of H+ transport by the gamma subunit. Affinity labelling experiments suggest that beta Lys-155 in the glycine-rich sequence is near the gamma-phosphate moiety of ATP bound at the catalytic site. The enzyme loses activity upon introduction of missense mutations in b...

To determine whether current environmental lead (Pb) levels are causing any progressive changes in urinary Pb levels, 24-h urine samples were collected from 277 subjects (159 men and 118 women) in 1985, 312 subjects (155 men and 157 women) in 1993, and 311 subjects (156 men and 155 women) in 1998. All of the subjects worked in the same factory. The urinary Pb concentration was analyzed by flame...
