摘要:
The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding both a soluble and membrane-bound human .beta.-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, the I-branching enzyme (IGnT). The invention also provides vectors containing the isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding human IGnT as well as recombinant host cells transformed with the vectors. The invention further provides a method of preparing a membrane-bound form of human IGnT and methods of preparing and purifying soluble human IGnT and active fragments of either form. Also provided are antisense oligonucleotides complementary to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a human IGnT or an active fragment thereof, antibodies directed to the human IGnT, pharmaceutical compositions related to the human IGnT and transgenic nonhuman mammals expressing DNA encoding normal or mutant human IGnT. Also provided are methods for regulating the expression of human IGnT and methods for modifying a biological function mediated by the regulatory activity of human IGnT. Methods of detecting the presence of linear polylactosaminoglycans expressing i antigenic determinants on a cell surface also are provided.

The present invention provides novel purified human lysosomal membrane sialoglycoproteins. These novel human proteins, lamp-1 and lamp-2, are highly glycosylated and are the major carriers of polylactosaminoglycan, when expressed on the cell surface participate in various cellular adhesion interactions.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel .beta.1.fwdarw.6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, which forms core 2 oligosaccharide structures in O-glycans, and a novel acceptor molecule, leukosialin, CD43, for core 2 .beta.1.fwdarw.6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. The amino acid sequences and nucleic acid sequences encoding these molecules, as well as active fragments thereof, also are disclosed. A method for isolating nucleic acid sequences encoding proteins having enzymatic activity is disclosed, using CHO cells that support replication of plasmid vectors having a polyoma virus origin of replication. A method to obtain a suitable cell line that expresses an acceptor molecule also is disclosed.

摘要:
An electrically programmable read only memory is equipped with latch circuits for sequentially introducing series signals which are fed through external terminals. The converter includes sequentially operated switch elements and latch circuits in order to convert the series signals into parallel signals. The thus converted parallel signals are written simultaneously in a memory array via address decoder operated selection switch elements. According to this method, the writing operations into the memory array can be conducted at a high speed even when one writing operation is relatively long as a result of the parallel signal action.

摘要:
In an oscillation circuit wherein three or a greater odd number of inverters each of which is composed of a load FET and a driving FET are connected in cascade, a capacitor is connected between the input and output of at least one of the inverters so as to construct a Miller integrator, and the output of the final-stage inverter is connected to the input of the first-stage inverter, the improvement comprising the fact that impedance means, such as resistance, which has a positive temperature coefficient is connected in series with the capacitor, whereby the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit is prevented from fluctuating due to a change of the ambient temperature.
摘要:
In a lighting apparatus containing a high pressure discharge lamp, an alternating current supplied to the discharge lamp at the time of steady lighting of the frequency (basic frequency) selected from a range between 60 and 1000 Hz and a low frequency having a frequency selected from a range between 5 and 200 Hz lower than the basic frequency is generated alternately. The frequency of the low frequency wave is changed in response to the change of the lighting voltage of the discharge lamp. The supply period of the basic frequency is increased and decreased little by little by every predetermined time.
