Isolation and properties of a liver mitochondrial precursor protein to aspartate aminotransferase expressed in Escherichia coli.
No full textThe precursor to rat liver mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase has been expressed in Escherichia coli JM105 using the pKK233-2 expression vector. This mammalian natural precursor has been isolated as a soluble dimeric protein. The amino-terminal sequence and the amino acid composition of the isolated protein correspond to those predicted from the inserted cDNA (Mattingly, J. R., Jr., Rodriguez-Berrocal, F. J., Gordon, J., Iriarte, A., and Martinez-Carrion, M. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 149, 859-865). The isolated precursor contains bound pyridoxal phosphate and shows catalytic activity with a specific activity equal to that of the mature form of the enzyme. This precursor can also be processed by mitochondria into a form with the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis mobility of mature enzyme. The isolation of this precursor as a stable and catalytically active entity indicates that the presequence peptide does not necessarily interfere with much of the folding and basic structural properties of the mature protein component

Burdock Burr Breese, Jr.
No full textBurtis Burr Breese, Jr. (1905-1998) was the son of the psychologist and author Burtis Burr Breese, Sr. (1868-1939). Burtis Burr Breese, Jr. received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University (1927) and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School (1931). He interned at Johns Hopkins Hospital (1931/32) and the New York Hospital (1932/33). In 1933/34 Breese was made assistant resident pediatrician at Strong Memorial Hospital and assistant in pediatrics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry (URSMD). He was appointed instructor in pediatrics in 1934. Between 1935 and 1952 held appointments in the Dept. of Pediatrics, during which period he also served in the U.S. Navy (1942-46). During his military service Breese became interested in meningococcal and streptococcal infections. He was appointed assistant professor of pediatrics at URSMD in 1952 and clinical associate professor in 1958. Breese was one of the co-founders of the Elmwood Pediatric Group (EPG), using his practice to conduct research on childhood infections. He was the first to culture strep throat in an office setting by constructing an incubator from parts of chicken hatching equipment. Breese and his partner at EPG, Frank A. Disney, M.D., received the Practitioner's Excellence Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Breese was the author of at least 69 articles and co-authored with his daughter Caroline Breese Hall the monograph Beta Hemolytic Streptococcal Diseases (Boston, 1978)

Henry Adams, Jr. letter to father, February 5, 1952
No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.
In this three-page letter written on decorative notepaper, Junior writes about his army experiences, and says that he feels like Jackie Robinson, a test case for integrated units in the military. The United States Army was not integrated during World War II; African Americans and whites served in separate units. Harry Truman issued an executive order intended to end segregation in the Army in January of 1948, and letters such as this indicate that the executive order took some time to become fully effective
