Take a journey to saga country, Reykjavik, Iceland

A travel article about a journey to Reykholt in Western Iceland, once the farm of saga author Snorri Sturluson. A TRIP back into snowbound Iceland's past in search of a famed warrior-poet throws up some old memories and fresh revelations for Kari Gislason "The fish must sing." An odd idea, I know - one uttered by a merchant in a novel by Halldor Laxness. But it said no more than what every Icelander since the settlement had known. If you were going to live on the edge of the world, it paid to do something to remind the rest of the world you were still here...

TMIO-pyrimid hybrids are profluorescent, site-directed spin labels for nucleic acids

We report the synthesis of a new class of molecules which are hybrids of long-lived tetramethylisoindolinoxyl (TMIO) radicals and the pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole (PyrImid) scaffold. These compounds represent a new lead for noncovalently binding nucleic acid probes, as they interact with nucleic acids with previously unreported C (DNA) and C/U (RNA) complementarity, which can be detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. They also have promising properties for fluorimetric analysis, as their fluorescent spin-quenched derivatives exhibit a significant Stokes shift

Life history of turbot in Icelandic waters: Intra- and inter-population genetic diversity and otolith tracking of environmental temperatures

The stock structure of turbot was investigated between samples from S-Norway, the Irish Sea and the Kattegat, using 12 microsatellite loci and compared to the turbot caught in Icelandic waters. Highly significant genetic differentiation was observed between samples from Kattegat and other areas. Significant genetic differentiation was also observed between the Irish Sea sample on one hand and Iceland and S-Norway on the other hand. No significant genetic differentiation was observed between Iceland and S-Norway. Otoliths of 25 turbot, age ranging from 3 to 19 years, were subjected to nearly 300 mass spectrometry determinations of stable oxygen and carbon isotopes. Oxygen isotope composition (δ¹⁸O) in the otolith samples was used to estimate ambient temperature at time of otolith accretion, and yielded estimated temperatures experienced by the turbot ranging from 3 to 15°C. Overall, the genetic analysis indicates panmixia between turbot in Icelandic and Norwegian waters. While the extensive migration of larvae between Norway and Iceland is unlikely, passive drift of turbot larva from other areas (e.g. Ireland) cannot be ruled out. 

Hint2, a mitochondrial apoptotic sensitizer down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND ; AIMS: Hints, histidine triad nucleotide-binding proteins, are adenosine monophosphate-lysine hydrolases of uncertain biological function. Here we report the characterization of human Hint2. METHODS: Tissue distribution was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting, cellular localization by immunocytochemistry, and transfection with green fluorescent protein constructs. Enzymatic activities for protein kinase C and adenosine phosphoramidase in the presence of Hint2 were measured. HepG2 cell lines with Hint2 overexpressed or knocked down were established. Apoptosis was assessed by immunoblotting for caspases and by flow cytometry. Tumor growth was measured in SCID mice. Expression in human tumors was investigated by microarrays. RESULTS: Hint2 was predominantly expressed in liver and pancreas. Hint2 was localized in mitochondria. Hint2 hydrolyzed adenosine monophosphate linked to an amino group (AMP-pNA; k(cat):0.0223 s(-1); Km:128 micromol/L). Exposed to apoptotic stress, fewer HepG2 cells overexpressing Hint2 remained viable (32.2 +/- 0.6% vs 57.7 +/- 4.6%), and more cells displayed changes of the mitochondrial membrane potential (87.8 +/- 2.35 vs 49.7 +/- 1.6%) with more cleaved caspases than control cells. The opposite was observed in HepG2 cells with knockdown expression of Hint2. Subcutaneous injection of HepG2 cells overexpressing Hint2 in SCID mice resulted in smaller tumors (0.32 +/- 0.13 g vs 0.85 +/- 0.35 g). Microarray analyses revealed that HINT2 messenger RNA is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinomas (-0.42 +/- 0.58 log2 vs -0.11 +/- 0.28 log2). Low abundance of HINT2 messenger RNA was associated with poor survival. CONCLUSION: Hint2 defines a novel class of mitochondrial apoptotic sensitizers down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma.
