Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has no specific and effective treatment, and there is an urgent need to understand its pathogenesis. Therefore, based on the hypothesis that molecules whose expression is upregulated in injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are involved in the pathogenesis of ARDS, we conducted a study to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and identify target factors for treatment. Primary human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-Ls) were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or poly (I:C) and analyzed via a microarray to identify target genes for ARDS. We found that a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) was induced in murine lung VECs in an LPS-mediated ARDS model. Elevated ADAMTS4 was also observed by the immunostaining of lung samples from ARDS patients. The suppression of ADAMTS4 by siRNA in VECs ameliorated LPS-stimulated vascular permeability. The impairment of the cell surface expression of syndecan-1, a marker of the glycocalyx that is an extracellular matrix involved in vascular permeability, was dramatically inhibited by ADAMTS4 suppression. In addition, the suppression of ADAMTS4 protected against LPS-induced reductions in syndecan-1 and the adherens junction protein vascular endothelial cadherin. These results suggest that ADAMTS4 regulates VEC permeability in ARDS and may be a predictive marker and therapeutic target for ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemophilia A (HA) is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by defects in endogenous factor (F)VIII. Approximately 30 % of patients with severe HA treated with FVIII develop neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) against FVIII, which render the therapy ineffective. The managements of HA patients with high-titter inhibitors are especially challenging. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism(s) of high-titer inhibitor development and dynamics of FVIII-specific plasma cells (FVIII-PCs). AIMS To identify the dynamics of FVIII-PCs and the lymphoid organs in which FVIII-PCs are localized during high-titer inhibitor formation. METHODS AND RESULTS When FVIII-KO mice were intravenously injected with recombinant (r)FVIII in combination with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a marked enhancement of anti-FVIII antibody induction was observed with increasing FVIII-PCs, especially in the spleen. When splenectomized or congenitally asplenic FVIII-KO mice were treated with LPS + rFVIII, the serum inhibitor levels decreased by approximately 80 %. Furthermore, when splenocytes or bone marrow (BM) cells from inhibitor+ FVIII-KO mice treated with LPS + rFVIII were grafted into immune-deficient mice, anti-FVIII IgG was detected only in the serum of splenocyte-administered mice and FVIII-PCs were detected in the spleen but not in the BM. In addition, when splenocytes from inhibitor+ FVIII-KO mice were grafted into splenectomized immuno-deficient mice, inhibitor levels were significantly reduced in the serum. CONCLUSION The spleen is the major site responsible for the expansion and retention of FVIII-PCs in the presence of high-titer inhibitors.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe hypoxemic respiratory failure with a high in-hospital mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ARDS remain unclear. Recent findings have indicated that the onset of severe inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, is regulated by epigenetic changes. We investigated the role of epigenetic changes in ARDS pathogenesis using mouse models and human samples. Methods: Acute respiratory distress syndrome was induced in a mouse model (C57BL/6 mice, myeloid cell or vascular endothelial cell [VEC]-specific SET domain bifurcated 2 [Setdb2]-deficient mice [Setdb2 ff Lyz2 Cre+ or Setdb2 ff Tie2 Cre+ ], and Cre - littermates) by intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Analyses were performed at 6 and 72 h after LPS administration. Sera and lung autopsy specimens from ARDS patients were examined. Results: In the murine ARDS model, we observed high expression of the histone modification enzyme SET domain bifurcated 2 ( Setdb2 ) in the lungs. In situ hybridization examination of the lungs revealed Setdb2 expression in macrophages and VECs. The histological score and albumin level of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were significantly increased in Setdb2 ff Tie2 Cre+ mice following LPS administration compared with Setdb2 ff Tie2 Cre- mice, whereas there was no significant difference between the control and Setdb2 ff Lyz2 Cre+ mice. Apoptosis of VECs was enhanced in Setdb2 ff Tie2 Cre+ mice. Among the 84 apoptosis-related genes, the expression of TNF receptor superfamily member 10b ( Tnfrsf10b ) was significantly higher in Setdb2 ff Tie2 Cre+ mice than in control mice. Acute respiratory distress syndrome patients' serum showed higher SETDB2 levels than those of healthy volunteers. SETDB2 levels were negatively correlated with the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fraction of inspiratory oxygen concentration ratio. Conclusion: Acute respiratory distress syndrome elevates Setdb2 , apoptosis of VECs, and vascular permeability. Elevation of histone methyltransferase Setdb2 suggests the possibility to histone change and epigenetic modification. Thus, Setdb2 may be a novel therapeutic target for controlling the pathogenesis of ARDS.

Abstract
Since February 2021, healthcare workers in Japan have been preferentially vaccinated with a messenger RNA vaccine (BNT162b2; Pfizer/BioNTech) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). While many studies have confirmed that this vaccine is highly effective in reducing hospitalization and deaths from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), antibody titers tend to decline at 3 months after vaccination, leading to a risk of breakthrough infections. Thus, information is needed to support the decision regarding the 3rd vaccination. In this study, we investigated the transition of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) IgG and neutralizing antibody titers in 37 vaccinated Japanese healthcare workers. Samples were collected 6 times starting before vaccination until 6 months after the second vaccination. The levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG peaked 1 week after the 2nd vaccination, then declined over time and decreased to < 10% at 6 months after the 2nd vaccination. Additionally, approximately one-third of the healthcare workers were seronegative for the Omicron variant 6 months after the 2nd vaccination. Workers with low anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG levels also had low neutralizing antibody titers. These data support booster dose administration for healthcare workers, especially those with low anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG levels.

Abstract
During the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, emergency medical services (EMS) has borne a huge burden in transporting emergency patients. However, the protocol's effect on identifying emergency patients who are likely to have COVID-19 is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a prehospital COVID-19 screening protocol for EMS. We conducted this population-based retrospective study in Nara Prefecture, Japan. The Nara Prefectural Government implemented a screening protocol for COVID-19 comprising the following symptom criteria (fever, cough, sore throat, headache, malaise, dysgeusia, or anosmia) and epidemiological criteria (contact history with confirmed COVID-19 cases or people with upper respiratory symptoms, or travel to areas with high infection rate). A patient meeting at least one criterion of each class was considered positive. We evaluated all 51,351 patients from the regional EMS database of the Nara Prefecture (emergency Medical Alliance for Total Coordination of Healthcare) who were registered from June 15, 2020 to May 31, 2021 and had results of COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. We assessed the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of this protocol. We also assessed how these outcomes changed by adding vital signs and conducted a 10-fold and 100-fold prevalence simulation. The screening protocol was used for 246/51351 patients (0.5%). Among them, 31 tested positive after EMS transportation. This protocol's sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 40.8%, 99.6%, 12.6%, and 99.9%, respectively. With the addition of ≥2 vital signs (body temperature ≥37.5 °C, respiratory rate ≥20 breaths/minute, and oxygen saturation <90%), sensitivity and PPV changed to 61.8% and 1.0%, respectively, while NPV remained 99.9%. With a 10-fold and 100-fold increase in disease, the protocol PPV would be 59.0% and 94.3%, and NPV would be 99.1% and 90.7%, respectively, and with additional vital signs, PPV would be 8.9% and 53.1%, and NPV would be 99.4% and 93.2%, respectively. This COVID-19 screening protocol helped enable EMS transport for patients with COVID-19 with a PPV of 12.6%. Adding other vital sign variables may improve its diagnostic value if the prevalence rate increases.

Abstract
Background Heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) oxygen therapy allows optimal humidification of inspired gas at high flows and creates a distending pressure similar to nasal continuous positive airway pressure [1]. It has been safely used in adults with moderate hypoxemia with few complications [2, 3]. Hereby, we report serious complications occurred during HHFNC oxygen therapy. Case presentation A 53-year-old female with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) was admitted to the intensive care unit because of respiratory failure. After weaning from mechanical ventilation which lasted for 2 weeks, HHFNC therapy at 40 L/min with an FiO2 of 0.5 was started for hypoxemia. Four days later, dyspnea and hypoxemia occurred and chest X-ray and CT scan revealed localized pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, and massive pneumomediastinum. After cessation of HHFNC, respiratory condition improved. Conclusion Subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum should be notified as a serious complication during HHFNC therapy.

Abstract
Background We describe a pediatric patient who suffered from critical abdominal distention caused by a combination of humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) oxygen therapy and nasal airway. Case presentation A 21-month-old boy with a history of chronic lung disease was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Immediately after admission, his airway was established using a tracheal tube and mechanical ventilation was started. Five days after the commencement of mechanical ventilation, finally, his trachea was extubated. Immediately after extubation, HHFNC therapy at 20 L/min with an FiO2 of 0.35 was applied. However, severe stridor was observed, then a nasal airway was placed in the left nostril. However, he became restless. Critical abdominal distention was observed. A subsequent chest X-ray revealed that the nasal airway was placed too deeply, and the gastrointestinal air was severely accumulated. Immediately, the nasal airway was removed, and HHFNC flow was reduced to 10 L/min. Frequent suctioning and continuous gastric drainage were required, which achieved gradual improvement of respiratory condition. Conclusions We need to recognize that HHFNC therapy is one of the positive pressure ventilation system. Therefore, HHFNC therapy might cause the similar adverse events to noninvasive pressure ventilation.

Abstract
PURPOSE We retrospectively investigated the incidence of postoperative nightmares and evaluated the impact of postoperative intensive care on the incidence of during subsequent hospital stay. To reduce the effect of selection bias, we compared the incidence of nightmares in propensity-matched pairs with postoperative management in ICUs or in surgical wards. METHODS This is a retrospective review of an institutional registry containing 21,606 anesthesia cases and was conducted with ethics board approval. Outcomes of surgical patients treated in ICUs and in postsurgical wards (ICU admission vs non ICU admission) were compared first for nightmares using the initial 12,508 patients. To avoid channeling bias, propensity score analysis was used to generate a set of matched cases (ICU admission) and controls (non ICU admission), yielding 642 matched patient pairs. The incidence rate of nightmares was compared as the primary outcome. RESULTS Before adjusting patients' characteristics, ICU environment exposure increased the incidence of nightmares compared with non-ICU environment during subsequent hospital stay [ICU vs non-ICU: 101/718 (12.3 %) vs 1147/10,542 (9.81 %)]. The odds ratio (95 % CIs) for ICU was 1.29 (1.03-1.61) for nightmares (p = 0.022). After propensity score matching, however, an equal rate of nightmares occurred in the ICU environment exposure compared to the non-ICU environment [ICU vs non-ICU: 81/561 (12.6 %) vs 73/569 (11.4 %)]. The odds ratio and 95 % CIs for ICU were 1.13 (0.80-1.58) for nightmares (p = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of nightmares did not become more evident during subsequent hospital stay after ICU environment exposure.

Abstract
A 79-year-old man with aortic stenosis (AS) was scheduled for right middle lobectomy under general anesthesia. AS is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiac complications after noncardiac surgery. Anesthetic management adjusting left ventricular preload and coload, and keeping sinus rhythm was successful with no complications. But after moving back to the intensive care unit after surgery, ECG showed paroxysmal complete atrioventricular blocks and we inserted a temporary transvenous pacemaker catheter. We should be very careful with not only the anesthetic but also perioperative management of AS patient.

After inducing anesthesia using propofol, muscle relaxation was obtained by rocuronium bromide for intubation. Remifentanil was used during the operation, and good pain relief was obtained by iv-PCA (fentanyl) after operation.

Abstract
We report a 61-year-old woman (weight 49 kg, height 156 cm) with Kugelberg-Welander disease who was scheduled for bilateral mastectomy under general anesthesia. We administered rocuronium 10 mg (0.20 mg x kg(-1)) for tracheal intubation. After 80 min, train-of-four ratio (TOFR) was 46%. During the operation, we did not administer rocuronium. After surgery, TOFR was 62%. Therefore, we administered sugammadex 100 mg (2 mg x kg(-1)). After 4 min, TOFR became above 90%, and the patient was extubated. There was no respiratory distress, muscle weakness, or neurologic untoward event after the use of sugammadex in the postoperative period. Sugammadex was effective in reversing rocuronium induced neuromuscular block in a patient with Kugelberg-Welander disease.

Abstract
We previously identified a 175 kDa polypeptide in Lilium longiflorum germinating pollen using a monoclonal antibody raised against myosin II heavy chain from Physarum polycephalum. In the present study, the equivalent polypeptide was also found in cultured tobacco BY-2 cells. Analysis of the amino acid sequences revealed that the 175 kDa polypeptide is clathrin heavy chain and not myosin heavy chain. After staining of BY-2 cells, punctate clathrin signals were distributed throughout the cytoplasm at interphase. During mitosis and cytokinesis, clathrin began to accumulate in the spindle and the phragmoplast and then was intensely concentrated in the cell plate. Expression of the C-terminal region of clathrin heavy chain, in which light chain binding and trimerization domains reside, induced the suppression of endocytosis and the formation of an aberrant spindle, phragmoplast, and cell plate, the likely cause of the observed multinucleate cells. These data strongly suggest that clathrin is intimately involved in the formation of the spindle and phragmoplast, as well as in endocytosis.

Abstract
The contractile vacuole (CV) cycle of Amoeba proteus has been studied by phase contrast and electron microscopy. However, the understanding of membrane dynamics in this cycle is still poor. In this study, we used live imaging by fluorescence microscopy to obtain new insights. We succeeded in staining the CV with a styryl dye, FM 4-64 (N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(6-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)hexatrienyl)pyridinium dibromide), and obtained the following results. (1) The CV membrane was directly stained with the dye in the external medium when the CV pore opened upon contraction. This indicates that transfer of plasma membrane to the CV does not occur. (2) The membrane dynamics during the CV cycle were elucidated. In particular, the fluorescent CV membrane was maintained as an aggregate just after contraction and the vacuole re-formed from the aggregate. Staining was maintained during continued contraction cycles. We conclude that the CV membrane is maintained during the CV cycle.

Abstract
Some species of Spirogyra form rosette-shaped or rod-shaped rhizoids in the terminal cell of the filaments. In the present study, we analyzed an involvement of microtubules (MTs) in rhizoid differentiation. Before rhizoid differentiation, cortical MTs were arranged transversely to the long axis of cylindrical cells, reflecting the diffuse growth. At the beginning of rhizoid differentiation, MTs were absent from the extreme tip of the terminal cell. In the other area of the cell, however, MTs were arranged transversely to the long axis of the cell. In the fully differentiated rosette-shaped rhizoid, MTs were randomly organized. However, at a younger stage of rosette-shaped rhizoids, MTs were sometimes arranged almost transversely in the lobes of the rosette. In the rod-shaped rhizoid, MTs were arranged almost transversely. MT-destabilizing drugs (oryzalin and propyzamide) induced swelling of rhizoids, and neither rosette-shaped nor rod-shaped rhizoids were formed. The role of MTs in rhizoid differentiation was discussed.

Abstract
We isolated the cortical microtubules (CMTs) from tobacco BY-2 cells to identify their components. By centrifugation of protoplasts homogenized in the presence of taxol, a MT-stabilizing reagent, in a density gradient of Percoll, we obtained membranous vesicles to which MTs forming a sheet-like bundle were attached. Rhodamine-conjugated Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA-I), a lectin that bound to the surface of protoplasts, stained these vesicles, indicating that they were plasma membrane (PM) vesicles that retained CMTs. CMTs were released by solubilization of PM vesicles with Triton X-100. A sheet-like array of CMTs was retained even after solubilization of PM vesicles. Immunoblot analysis of the isolated CMTs demonstrated the presence of tubulin, actin, the 65 kDa microtubule-associated protein (MAP) and a 130 kDa RCA-I binding protein. Purification of the isolated CMTs by the temperature dependent disassembly-reassembly cycling method revealed four polypeptides, 190, 120, 85 and 65 kDa, co-assembling with CMTs.

Abstract
In plants there are three microtubule arrays involved in cellular morphogenesis that have no equivalent in animal cells. In animals, microtubules are decorated by another class of proteins - the structural MAPS - which serve to stabilize microtubules and assist in their organization. The best-studied members of this class in plants are the MAP-65 proteins that can be purified together with plant microtubules after several cycles of polymerization and depolymerization. Here we identify three similar MAP-65 complementary DNAs representing a small gene family named NtMAP65-1, which encode a new set of proteins, collectively called NtMAP65-1. We show that NtMAP65-1 protein localizes to areas of overlapping microtubules, indicating that it may function in the behaviour of antiparallel microtubules in the mitotic spindle and the cytokinetic phragmoplast.

Abstract
Although regulation of the dynamics of plant microtubules (MTs) by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) has been suggested, the mechanism has not yet been elucidated. As one candidate, a MAP composed of a 65 kDa polypeptide (65 kDa MAP) has been isolated from tobacco cultured cells [Jiang and Sonobe (1993), J. Cell Sci 105: 8911. To investigate the physiological role of the 65 kDa MAP in situ, we analyzed the changes in content and colocalization of this MAP with cortical MTs in relation to elongation growth, using azuki bean epicotyls (Vigna angularis Ohwi et Ohashi). All apical, intermediate, and basal segments prepared from 6 d seedlings showed high growth activity. In 12 d seedlings, growth activity of intermediate and basal segments was low, although that of apical segments was high. The relationship between the growth activity and the orientation of cortical MTs in the epidermal cells was analyzed. Cells could be classified into four types with respect to orientation of cortical MTs: transverse (T), oblique (O), longitudinal (L) to the vertical axis of cells, and random (R). In rapidly growing segments, three types of cells, T, O, L, were observed at similar ratios. In such segments, significant amounts of the 65 kDa MAP were expressed, and it colocalized well with cortical MTs. In segments showing low growth activity, most of the cells showed oblique and longitudinal orientation of cortical MTs. In such segments, the content of the 65 kDa MAP was low. These results suggested involvement of this 65 kDa MAP in regulation of the elongation growth of this epicotyl.

Abstract
We prepared a cell model of Amoeba proteus by mechanical bursting to study the interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and plasma membrane (PM). The cell model prepared in the absence of Ca2+ showed remarkable contraction upon addition of ATP. When the model was prepared in the presence of Ca2+, the cytoplasmic granules formed an aggregate in the central region, having moved away from PM. Although this model showed contraction upon addition of ATP in the presence of Ca2+, less contraction was noted. Staining with rhodamine-phalloidin revealed association of AFs with PM in the former model, and a lesser amount of association in the latter model. The interaction between AFs and PM was also studied using the isolated PM. AFs were associated with PM isolated in the absence of Ca2+, but were not when Ca2+ was present. These results suggest that the interaction between AFs and PM is regulated by Ca2+.

Abstract
Interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) has been reported in various plant cells, and the presence of a factor(s) connecting these two cytoskeletal networks has been suggested, but its molecular entity has not been elucidated yet. We obtained a fraction containing MT-binding polypeptides, which induced bundling of AFs and of MTs. A 190 kDa polypeptide which associated with AFs was selectively isolated from the fraction. This polypeptide was thought to have an ability to bind to both AFs and MTs. We raised a monoclonal antibody against the 190 kDa polypeptide. Immunostaining demonstrated the association of the 190 kDa polypeptide with AF bundles and with MT bundles formed in vitro. Immunocytochemical studies throughout the cell cycle revealed that the 190 kDa polypeptide was localized in the nucleus before nuclear envelope breakdown, and in the spindle and the phragmoplast during cell division. After the re-formation of the nuclear envelope, the 190 kDa polypeptide was sequestered to the daughter nuclei. Using the antibody, we succeeded in cloning a cDNA encoding the 190 kDa polypeptide.

Abstract
In many types of plant cell, bundles of actin filaments (AFs) are generally involved in cytoplasmic streaming and the organization of transvacuolar strands. Actin cross-linking proteins are believed to arrange AFs into the bundles. In root hair cells of Hydrocharis dubia (Blume) Baker, a 135-kDa polypeptide cross-reacted with an antiserum against a 135-kDa actin-bundling protein (135-ABP), a villin homologue, isolated from lily pollen tubes. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the 135-kDa polypeptide co-localized with AF bundles in the transvacuolar strand and in the sub-cortical region of the cells. Microinjection of antiserum against 135-ABP into living root hair cells induced the disappearance of the transvacuolar strand. Concomitantly, thick AF bundles in the transvacuolar strand dispersed into thin bundles. In the root hair cells, AFs showed uniform polarity in the bundles, which is consistent with the in-vitro activity of 135-ABP. These results suggest that villin is a factor responsible for bundling AFs in root hair cells as well as in pollen tubes, and that it plays a key role in determining the direction of cytoplasmic streaming in these cells.

Abstract
A major concern in plant morphogenesis is whether cortical microtubules are responsible for the arrangement and action of beta-glucan synthases in the plasma membrane. We prepared isolated plasma membrane sheets with cortical microtubules attached and tested whether beta-glucan synthases penetrated through the membrane to form microfibrils and whether these synthases moved in the fluid membrane along the cortical microtubules. This technique enabled us to examine synthesis of beta-glucan as a fiber with a two-dimensional structure. The synthesis of beta-glucan microfibrils was directed in arrays by cortical microtubules at many loci on the membrane sheets. The microfibrils were mainly arranged along the microtubules, but the distribution of microfibrils was not always parallel to that of the microtubules. The rate of beta-glucan elongation as determined directly on the exoplasmic surface was 620 nm per min. When the assembly of microtubules was disrupted by treatment with propyzamide, the beta-glucans were not deposited in arrays but in masses. This finding shows that the arrayed cortical microtubules are not required for beta-glucan synthesis but are required for the formation of arranged microfibrils on the membrane sheet.

Abstract
Cytoskeletons play an essential role in cellular functions in both animal and plant cells. In studies of the molecular mechanisms of their functions, a variety of cell model systems, mainly of animal cells, have yielded much information. With plant cells, cell model systems have mostly been restricted to studies on the mechanism of cytoplasmic streaming. Recently, however, there have been several reports of studies employing plant cell model systems to investigate plant cytoskeletons that have revealed new concepts about their structure and functions. To promote and support a general understanding of cell model systems, this review attempts to categorize them, present currently known information on the structure and function of plant cytoskeletons, and offer a possible role of cell model systems in future studies of plant cytoskeletons.

Abstract
Treatment with 20 microM brefeldin A (BFA) for 60 min caused the disassembly of the Golgi apparatus in tobacco BY-2 cells, and the effect of BFA was reversible. Connections between Golgi cisternae and the ER were observed in cells that had been treated for 15 min with BFA. BFA applied to cells at metaphase allowed the cells to form aniline blue-positive cell plates but not to complete cytokinesis. BFA seems to inhibit cytokinesis by shutting off the supply of cell-plate materials by disassembling the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
Microtubules in plant cells, as in animal cells, are dynamic structures. However, our lack of knowledge about the constituents of microtubules in plant cells has prevented us from understanding the mechanisms that control microtubule dynamics. To characterize some of these constituents, a cytoplasmic extract was prepared from evacuolated protoplasts (miniprotoplasts) of tobacco BY-2 cells, and microtubules were assembled in the presence of taxol and disassembled by cold treatment in the presence of Ca2+ and a high concentration of NaCl. SDS-PAGE analysis of triple-cycled microtubule protein revealed the presence of 120 kDa, 110 kDa and a group of 60–65 kDa polypeptides in addition to tubulin. Since these polypeptides had copolymerized with tubulin, through the three cycles of assembly and disassembly, and they bundle microtubules, we tentatively identified the three polypeptides as microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). To characterize these factors further, triple-cycled microtubule protein was fractionated by Mono-Q anion-exchange chromatography and the microtubule-bundling activity of each fraction was examined. Fractions having microtubule-bundling activity contained only the 65 kDa MAP, an indication that the 65 kDa MAP is responsible for the bundling of microtubules. Purified 65 kDa MAP formed cross-bridge structures between adjacent microtubules in vitro. Polyclonal antibodies were raised in mice against the 65 kDa MAP. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the 65 kDa MAP colocalized with microtubules in BY-2 cells throughout the cell cycle. Western blotting analysis of extracts from several species of plants suggested that the 65 kDa MAP and/or related peptides are widely distributed in the plant kingdom.

Abstract
Lipocortin I, a Ca2(+)-and phospholipid-binding protein without EF-hand structures, has many biological effects in vitro. Its actual role in vivo, however is unknown. We obtained and characterized five monoclonal antibodies to lipocortin I. Two of these monoclonal antibodies (L2 and L4-MAbs) reacted with the Ca(+)-bound form of lipocortin I, but not with the Ca2(+)-free form, both in vivo and in vitro. Lipocortin I required greater than or equal to 10 microM-Ca2+ to bind the two antibodies, and this Ca2+ requirement was not affected by phosphatidylserine. L2-MAb abolished the phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity of lipocortin I and inhibited its binding to Escherichia coli membranes and to phosphatidylserine in vitro. L4-MAb abolished the phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity of lipocortin I, but did not affect its binding to E. coli membranes or to phosphatidylserine. These findings indicated that the inhibition of phospholipase A2 by lipocortin I was not simply due to removal or capping of the substrates in E. coli membranes. Furthermore, an immunofluorescence study using L2-MAb showed the actual existence of Ca2(+)-bound form of lipocortin I in vivo.

Abstract
Two distinct 68-kDa proteins, named 68K-I (pI 6.4) and 68K-II (pI 5.6), were solubilized from human placenta by treatment with 5 mM EGTA. On DE52 cellulose column chromatography at pH 7.4, 68K-I in the EGTA eluate was recovered in the unadsorbed fractions, whereas 68K-II was retained on the column and eluted with 0.2 M NaCl. The 68K-I protein was obtained in more than 95% purity by further hydroxylapatite and cation exchange chromatographies, while the 68K-II protein was purified further by gel filtration and hydroxylapatite chromatographies. Partial amino acid sequence data showed that 68K-I protein was a novel protein which shared the same sequences as lipocortin I and that 68K-II was the same as human p68/67-kDa calelectrin (Crompton, M. R., Owens, R. J., Totty, N. F., Moss, S. E., Waterfield, M.D., and Crumpton, M. J. (1988) EMBO J. 7, 21-27; Südhof, T. C., Slaughter, C. A., Leznicki, I., Barjon, P., and Reynolds, G. A. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 664-668). The two proteins bound to acidic phospholipids, phosphatidylserine, and/or phosphatidylinositol, but not to phosphatidylcholine, in the presence of micromolar levels of Ca2+. 68K-I bound to phosphatidylinositol preferentially to phosphatidylserine, whereas 68K-II bound only to phosphatidylserine. Both 68K-I and 68K-II inhibited phospholipase A2 activity, and the inhibition by 68K-II was detectable only in the presence of 100 mM KCl. 68K-I, but not 68K-II, was found to bind to F-actin in a Ca2+-dependent (1 mM) manner. Moreover 68K-I, but not 68K-II, was phosphorylated in vitro at tyrosine residues by fps kinase and by epidermal growth factor receptor/kinase, the latter reaction being dependent on Ca2+ and epidermal growth factor. Western blot analysis with affinity purified anti-68K-I and anti-68K-II antibodies showed that 68K-I was located in only certain tissues, especially human placenta, whereas 68K-II was present in many human and rat tissues.

Abstract
Two monomeric 32-kDa proteins, termed 32K-I (pI 5.8) and 32K-II (pI 5.1), were isolated from human placenta, which was solubilized by a Ca2+-chelator. Only 32K-I was associated with PLA2-inhibitory activity. CNBr peptide mapping indicated that 32K-I was distinct from 32K-II and two 36-kDa proteins, called calpactin I and II or lipocortin II and I, which have been shown to possess PLA2-inhibitory activity. 32K-I bound to PS in a Ca2+-dependent manner. 32K-I was detected in many tissues except brain, cardiac and skeletal muscle.

Abstract
We purified three forms of 36-kDa proteins, two monomeric 36-kDa proteins, which had pIs of 7.5 (36K-I) and 6.4 (36K-II), and one 36-kDa complex (36K-C) consisting of two subunits, 36-kDa (pI 7.5) and 12-kDa (pI 5.8), from human placenta membrane. The 36-kDa subunit of 36K-C was identical to 36K-I as judged by pI, cyanogen bromide peptide mapping and immunological cross-reactivity. The three proteins showed F-actin- and phosphatidylserine-binding abilities dependent on Ca2+ concentrations at millimolar and micromolar levels, respectively. They all had phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity. Only 36K-II was phosphorylated extensively at tyrosine residue in Ca2+- and EGF- dependent manners in the membrane fraction of A431 cells. 36K-I was the best substrate for src kinase, whereas 36K-II was the best for fps kinase. However, 36K-C was not phosphorylated by any kinases used here.

Abstract
Mass culture of Amoeba proteus enabled us to do biochemical studies on this organism. Actin and profilin were purified from Amoeba to examine actin phosphorylation and polymerization. The apparent molecular weight of Amoeba actin was 44,000, and its isoelectric point was 5.8. The apparent molecular weight of Amoeba profilin was 12,000, and its isoelectric point was 4.9. It reduced the rate of actin polymerization as reported in the cases of profilins from other organisms. A protein of Mr = 44,000 (44 K protein) was phosphorylated in a Ca2+-dependent manner in cell homogenate of Amoeba without being inhibited by calmodulin antagonists. Using the homogenate as a kinase, purified Amoeba G-actin could be phosphorylated in proportion to the amount of actin. However, neither Amoeba F-actin nor rabbit skeletal muscle G-actin was phosphorylated. The phosphorylation of Amoeba actin with a kinase partially purified from A. proteus increased with dilution of the actin concentration. When Amoeba profilin was added, more than 80% of the actin was phosphorylated. By viscometry, electron microscopy, and ultracentrifugation analysis it was demonstrated that Amoeba G-actin phosphorylated in the presence of profilin and kinase did not polymerize in this solution. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that phosphorylated Amoeba actin remained in a monomeric state even under conditions favorable for actin polymerization.

Abstract
A case of adult, chronic or non-neuropathic, Gaucher's disease is presented. Severe bony changes, particularly involving the lower limbs developed after a splenectomy had been carried out. Our patient had all the orthopaedic complications of Gaucher's disease. Further, a huge tumour was present in the right tibia caused by the proliferation of Gaucher cells. This feature may be unique but pseudotumour should be listed in the possible orthopaedic complications of Gaucher's disease. The patient was bedridden, but was able to use a wheelchair after his leg was amputated.
