A. Genkel', K. A. Badanova, L. D. Prusakova, and K. S. Bokarev, USSR Academy of Sciences Institute of Plant Physiology imeni K. A. Timiryazev, Moscowj (Text] A new method for raising the heat and drought resistance of cereal cro~s, a combination of presowing hardening of the seeds and semidry processing with re~ardants,is proposed. Presowing drought-hardening of Albidum 43 wheat caryopses by Genk~l's method coupled with their treatment by 5 percent CCC solutinn or 0.5 percent BES solution stimulated stem growth and maturation in the presence of both optimum soil moisture and dry soil. The combination of harc~ening and retardant processing caused the tilleri.ng node to develop deeper in the soil in comparison with control plants and with plants treated with retardants alone. This was accompanied by a rise ;n the resistance of leaf cells to dehydration and high temperature in the tillering and stem extension phases. D�ry soil decreased the grain yield from un- hardened plants qrown in a phytotron by 85 percent, that from hardened plants grown from seeds treated with CCC by 20 percent, and seeds treated with BES by only 10 percent, which considerably reduced the yield loss in comparison with using each method for raising resistance to heat and drought separately. Raising plant resistance to heat and dehydration continues to be one of the most important problems of plant physiology. The resistance of plants to drought--that is, to heat and dehydration--is raised ~n many regions of the Soviet Union with the help of agrotechnical techniques, b}~ breeding drought and heat resistant varieties, and by means 1 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 ~ ~OI~ O~~ICIAL US~ ONLY of o~her metihod~ for raising plant drought resistance. Thus Genkel' (1) gugc~aa~ed a m~t~?od for pregowing drough~ hardening of sQeds. 'Chis me~hod, which relies on the significanti adaptiabili~y o� plantis, concurrently in- creaseg hea~ and droughti resis~ance. Th~ insti~utie's laboratory of planti drouqht resiatance has revoaled a number of ana~omical, morphoingical, and physiological charactieristics of hardened pl~nrs which permit tihem to endura dry soil and atmosph~re better. Owing ~o ~rotective adaptive reactions, hardened plants main~ain a high level of synthesis, which in ~urn insureg high metabolism and causes changes in a ` number of properties of protop'lasmic organelles, promoting high productivity n� hardened plants expnsed to drought (2-4). A mechanized seed har.�dening process proposed by one o� ~he authors (5) permits broader applicati.ton of the p1an~ hardening method in the �arming practices employed in arid regions nf r~ur country. A new way �or rai.sing plant drough~ resistance a~ppeared with discovery of re~~rdan~s, chlorocholine chloride in particular (6). As we know, chlorocholine, chloride (CCC), which has an influence on many physiological processes in pl~ntis, inhibits stem grow~h and, at tihe same time, reduces the demand of stems for water and makes them more resistant to wilting (6,7). The , resistiance of plants treated with this preparation to drought increases because they experience activatiion of a number of protective adaptive reactiaons resulting in development of properties typical of drought resistiant plants: a well developed, deeply psnetrating root system, low i~eight, reduced transpiration intensity, increased tissue water content, and reduced permeability of protoplasm to electrolytes (8-11). A higher water cont~nt and better water metabolism were observed in plants ='I sprayed with CCC. Good plant water metabolism promotes a rise in the water retention capacity of plants experiencing ~'ought conditions, more economical water consumption, and grea~er activity of some key enzymes of respiration and ~f phosphorus and carbohydrate metabolism--ATP-ase, catalase, and cy*ochrome oxidase (12,13). It caii be hypothesized that the drought and heat resistance of plants could , be raised even more by combining the physiological method for hardening caryopses against drouqht (wetting the seeds and subsequently drying them) _ ~ with a chemical method (treatinq them with retardants before sowing). Because CCC has a favorable effect on water metabolism in plants experiencing c3�:ought, we could suggest the nypothesis that the zetardant's effect on arought resistance would manifest itself even more in hardened plants. b1e thods Zwo retardants were used in the experiment~-- crystalline trimethyl-S- chlorethylammonium chloride produced by the Kemerovo Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant, and a preparation synthesized by one of the authors of ti:i.s article (14) named BES (dimethyl-R-bromethylsulfonium bromide).

Unhardened caryopses and caryopses subjected to presowing drought hardening according to Genkel's method were shaken together with the re~ardants for 6 hours in a revolving drum. Ten mi~.liliters of 0.5 percent BES solution or 5 percent CCC solution was added to ever~+ 100 gm caryopsesj caryopses sprayed with the same quantity of water served as the control.

The plan~s were not watered for 7 days. Soi1 moisture in the pots was dropped to 10 percenti. Then watering - was resumed. The exper3mental plants were subsequen~ly kept under obser- ' vation, and ~heir yield was determined ati the end o� the vegetative period. The direct effect soil dryness had on experimental plan~s was studied in ~he homeastatic environment o� a Ahytotron in January-March 1976, using the same experimental design. The plants wera grown ati 22� during the day and 16� at night. P1ant illumination was 200,000 Qrgs�cm 2�sec-1 for 16 hours (xenon lamps). In ~he ear formation stags ~he plants were sub3ected to soil drought (watering was interrupted for 11 days). This time soil moi~ture dropped to 35 percent of its total moisture capacity, which corresponded to a soil water concentration of 15 percent. The moisture content of the soil of control plants was kept at 70 percent during this time by watering. All experiments had a fivefold replication. Heat resistance was determined by Matskov's method (17) while resistance of ce11s to dehydration (18) was determined by the dessiaator method, the criterion being the time of death of cells experiencing dehydration in the presence of diluted sulfuric acid , in the tillering and stem extension phases. Determination of the length nf the underground internode, which was an indication of the depth of the tillering node, involved fiftyfold replication. - Results Hardened caryopses produced sprouts 2-3 days earlier than did unhardened plants. The retardants CCC and BES did not alter the sprouting time. Growth inhibition was observed in the first stages of growth of plants frvm caryopses treated with CCC and grown in the presence oE 70 percent soil moisture; growth was stimulated in subsequent stages, and the height of the plants evened out (see Figure). In contrast to this, the retardant BES stimulated growth as early as in the first stages of plant growth, and it continued to have this effect until the end of veqetative growth. Hardened plants in all experimental variants entered the tillering and Flowering stages almost si.multaneously, 3 days ahead of unhardened plants in s~.milar variants. Deepening of the tillering nodes was observed in e~perimental plants even before the onset of drought (Table 2). The +illering nodes are the principal organs in which new shoots form, and when the above-ground organs and parts of the root system die, they can regenerate entire plants. This property obviously has special significance to mass death of plants in unfavorable conditions, particularly in droughts. Considering that wheat plants with a deeper tillering node enjoy better conditions for root system development and for maintenance of viability in ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 ~ FOR OFFICIAI, USE ONLY ` ~ ' c; `I;;~ "'t`' s Effect of caryopses hardening and presowing treatment on wheat grovrth in dry soil: Phytotron chamber, 1976. 1-- Unhardened (soil moisture content 70 percent), 2--hardened (moisture content 70 percent), 3--unhardened (maisture content 40 percent), 4--hardened (moisture cor,tent 40 percent), 5--unhardened, CCC (moisture content 70 percent), 6--hardened, CCC (moisture content 70 percent), 7-- un- hardened, CCC (moisture content 40 percent), 8--hardened, CCC (moisture content 40 percent) Table 2.

Combination o� drouqh hardening of the plant and retardant txeatment el.icited even greater deepening of the tillering node--up to 30 mm with CCC and up to 20 mm with BES. 'rhe data presented here attest to the poaitive in�luence retardants have on the depth of development of the tillering node in wheat, which was noted in relation to CCC for the f irst time by Zadontsev et al. (16). A similar ef�ect was observed for the first time when seeds were treAted with BES retardant and the plants were drought hardened, and when drough~ harden3.ng was combined with CCC and BES retardant treatment. The tillering node of wheat in soil may develop deeper as a result of both low temperature and moisture content on one hand and agrotechnical techniques on the other, for example by changing the planting time or increasing the seed planting depth. The latter, however,~may have an unfavorable effect , on caryopsis germination. Deepeninc~ of the tillering node is an i.mportant ~actor of plant drought resistance, especially in the early phase of plant development. When the tillering node is located deeper in the soil, plants receive an additional stimulus for growth; a larger tillering node forms, and the roots penetrate more deeply in the soil, which promotes fuller utilization of the moisture ' reserves available in the soil.

Hardened Determinations of plant drought and heat zesistance showed (Table 3) that treatment of plants with CCC increases drought and heat resistance, while treatment with the retardant BES raises the dehydration resistance of leaf ~ells more. As we hypothesized, the heat and drought resistance increasing effect was more signi�icant with plants that were drought hardened and retardant treated than with unhardened plants. Thus the results in TaLle 3 indicate that complex treatment of the plant elicits an increase in leaf cell resistance to high temperature and dehydration. Soil drought initiated in the ear formation stage in the homeostatic con3itions of the phytc~~r~?: had a strong influence on ear formation (Table 4). Ear length and t;~e number of snikelets and grains forming in the ear decreased, having an effect on ear weight. The weight of.1,000 grains also dFCreased. Empty ears and puny grains resulted in high yield losses. As a rE:sult the loss of grain from unhardened plants (Table 5) was 85 percent. 7~e yield loss was lower when caryopses were subjected to retardant treat- ment before planting. The loss due to soil dryness was only 40 percent for unhardened plants treated wi.th CCC, and even lower--30 percent--for plants treated with BES. Drought hardened plants experienced a 40 percent yield loss due to drought. The yield loss was decreased even more by combining plant hardening with retardant treatment. The yield loss of hardened plants treated with CCC retardant was 20 percent, while that of plants treated with BES Was only 10 percent (see Table 5). 8 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFICItAL USE dNLY dus. ob~~rv~~ian~ r~howecl tiha~ ~o~.l drought led, among ~1an~~ ~hati w~r~ nc~ti dr~ughe h~~c~~ne~,tio a gr~ati~r d~cr~as~ in sti~m growth ra~~, a d~er~ase in ~~r l~nqtih ~nd w~l.qhti, anc~ a drop in ~he number o~ spik~le~s per aar and tih~ nwnbar of gr~ins per ~pik~l~ti, in compar3.son witih harden~d plantis (sge Tabl~ 6 ancl Fiqure).

The trypain~ coval.ently bound to Sephadex G-200 or Sepharose 4B, was folded in a concentrated solution of - urea with simultaneoue eplitting of ite S-S bonda. with the help of dithiotraeol. The preparation was then separated from the eplitting agenta, one of the effectors of enzym- atic activ~.ty of the trypain was added (boric acid, benz- amidin, pancreatic and soy inhibitors of trypein, ethyl ether of N benzoyl-L-arginine, methyl ether of N-tozyl-L- arginine) and the reaction of the ~nnnobilized enzyme in the absence of catalysts of thiol-diaulfide exchange was studied. It was shown that the reactivation of the trypsin in the presence of apecific aubstrates and proCein inhibitors ' takes place with the sams yield (2-SX) as in their abaence; in the presence of benaamidin and boric acid, the reactiv- ation yield of the immobilized trypsin is increased by fact- " ors of 5 and 12, respectively, and amounts to 15 and 40X. In a comparison of this :esult with the statistical prob- ability of formation of 6 native S-S bonds from 12 SH-groups, it is evident that even in the absence of a catalyst of the thiol-diaulfide exchange (i.e., under conditiona of irrevers- ible formation of S-S bridges) it is possible to increase the reactivation yield of the enzyme several thousand times if the enzyme ia immobilized on a carrier and is treated with a soluble effector. A model is proposed according to which the action of various effectors of trypsin on its folding is ex- plained by their attachment to intermediately folded forme of the protein and by a subaequent sh:ift of equilibrium 11 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 . ~oR o~~zcinL us~ orr~Y eoward eh~ "c~rrece" conformer~~ Accorfling eo ehi~ . a~~umption, ~v~n ~C ~ar1y ~e~~~s of folding, when 3-S ~ bonde have noti y~t bean formed, a drawing together eak~~ place of catal,ytically-ac~ive gYOUpe of serin~-hi~C3d~,ne pair~ end n eorpt~.on sector ie organ3zed; f inally~ the formation of ~n active canter of the ttyp~in (a draw~,ng eogether of the caCalyric and sorption sectore) tiakes' p1ac~ ae the la~e eCage of folding. _ 'I'h~ problem eapir, b3ogynCh~~3~ of prote~.ns, a fund~mental taek of con- temporary molecul~r b~.ology /1/.

It was ehown earlier /5/ Chat a positiive role in the proceas in vitro can ne played by natural immobilixaeian of the polypeptid~ chain on ribosomes. In the present nrticle, a atudy has been made--on a model of trypsin, c~valently conn~cted to Sephadex or Sepharoae--of th~ influence o~ various effectors on ehe procesa of folding of an unfolded proCein (reactivation of the ~nzyme). A multitude of inetabolitea are diesolved in the living cell. It ie well known that some of them are capable of affecting the etructure and function of proteins /6/, hence it ie completely probable that they can participate in folding~ Actually, there have been isolated, from cells, compounds of a 1ow-molecular (enzymes) /8,9/ nature, capable of effectively catalyzing the thiol-disulfide exchange in proteins and substanCially accelerating their reacCivation. NeverCheless, folding, in vitro, of eome enzymee into the native conformation does not occur even under optimal concentrations of catalysts of the thiol-disulfide exchange. Reactivation can be realized, wit~ a large yield, onl~ in the presence of subetratee, cofacCors or euch metallic ions (Ca2+, Mg Zn2+) without which enzyme functioning is not possible. Thus, reactivation of takaamylase in the presence of Ca2+ /10, 11/, lactate-and malate-dehydrogenases /12/, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate- dehydrogenase /13/ in the presence of NAD, enolase, fumarase, aldolase aad se-~~ral denydrogenases /14-16/ in the presence of their apecific aubstratee nioceeds with yields excezding SOx.

Our model (an enzyme ~mnob~.lized on a carrier) makes it poesib~.e eo trace the reoxidation of the splir S-S bonds even in the abgence of catglyata of the thiol-d3aulfide exchange, . where the S-3 bridges are formed ~rrevereibly and, consequently, the inter- mediately-forming "incorrec~" (catalytiically inactive) conformatione of - the enzyme molecule are also irrevereibly fixed. As the reault of immobili- zation, the yield of reactivated protein under these conditions*, which are not favorable for folding, reaches eeveral percent /5/; this ie quite enough to stay within the limite of the ueual methoda of ineasuring catalytic activity. Second, atudy~has been made of the dependeoce of yield of re- activation on the mechaniam (the method) of combining the effectoY with the ~nzyme. Earlier /10-19/ it was ehown that an increase in yield of the native form of protei~e during folding in vitro ia caused by the addition of effectore ~hich aet~ basica~ly, in the finiahing atages of the procesa. Thus, for example, in study of th~ intermediately-folded forms of taka~- amylase, it ~aas found that the first 3 of the 4 native S-S bonda are formed during the folding, independene of the presence in the system of Ca2+ ions. HoWever, formation of the fourth disulfide bridge, and the etructural re- - conatruction in the macromolecule, which lead to th~ catalyrically-active conformation of the takaamylase, were seen only after addition of the Ca2+ ione /11/. On the other hand, it i~ known thate during renaturation of carboxypeptiAase, the centers of cambining of the various effectors of catalytic acCi.vity (in particular of inhibiCore) are formed at different stages of the process of folding of the polypeptide chain /20/. Hence, it ie of interest to atudy the influence of auch effectors, too, which might react with the protein precisely in the early aCage of its folding. ~ In the presence of catalysts of the thiol-disulfide exchange (when the "incorrect" S-S bonds are split, go as to form, in the end, the "correc~" bridges corresponding to the thermodynamically stable, native conformation of the protein) the yield of reactivated enzyme approaches 100X /5/. 13 FOR OFrICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFICEAL U9E ONLY Influence of effeGeore of catalyti~.c activity of trypsin on reactivatJ.on of tihe enzyme immob~lized on 3ephadex G-200. 20�, pH 8.0, 5 x 10'~ M enzyme, in tihe absence of catalyzere of the ehiol- d~.sulfide exchange ~ 2 a~K,ocd . 3 neH~e~rn~ 5 m~r~euA M etiA 8 9 nopaMeT{+w peaKn~ua4xH 6e3 aQ,� aecKHA rH� coeO~rA ~,pNp N�6em ~~Q �ta 6eH~� 0op~r � tAQNtbpO ra6xmp NHI'N01110p ~ONJI�L�9p� ~IIA�L�9p1'M� YNJLNN Itr~J10~~ TQHtlCIt118 ~NtlCN118 ~N~~ ~d~ KONCT3H18 ANCCOLlHBqNN ~ , Ii0F1D~1t'KC8 9f~1t~1CKTOPO C ~ l181NBN6tM cpep~~ee� 8~l0'~s 3~10'~ 8~l0'~ 10'~ !0`~ Toa~,11f - (29~ (30) 10'~ (SiJ� (32)� ~33) ~22~ KoHUenTpaut+a 3cpcplKTO� pa, h1 i0's 90's i0'~�' 5�i0'~�� !0'= !0"~ - Adxo~t QeBKTNHBI(NN~ �,6 3 2-4 8�--5 2-4 2-5 !5 40 ?

A typical experiment in atudy of the folding of a protein was the following: rhe S-5 bonds in an immobilized enzyme were split, as described earlier /5/. 'Then the preparation was separated fram the splitting agenta and one of the effectors of enzymatic activiCy of trypsin was added: boric acid (Soyuz- reaktiv, USSR), benzamidin ("Sigma", USA), specific substrates or protein tnhibitors of trypsin ("Reanal", Hungarian Peoplea REpublic), and reoxi- ~ation of the S-S bonds was carried out by the method described earlier by ~~s /5/.

Like the protein inhibitors, the highly-specific substrates have practically no influence on folding of the immobilized enzyme: the kinetics of reactivation in all cases, is described by a curve of Type 1, in Fig. 1; for comparison, the Table presents the corresponding magnitudes of reactivation yield. At the same time, low-molecular weight inhibitors significantly increase the yield of reactivation of the immobilized enzyme--by a factor of 5 or 10 ~6 FOR OFFICIAI, USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 ~Oit O~FZCIAL USE ONLY with addition of benzamid~.n (Fig. 1, curve 2) and of bor~.c ac~.d (curv~ 3), reapecCively.

From data on the depende.?ce of ~he yield of react~.vaCion of tiryp~~.n, ~mmor b~.lized on Sephadex G-200, on concentration of the moat ac~ive e�fector-- boric acid (Fig. 3)--it appeara that lowering the concentration down to ~.0-6 M practically does not decrease the yield of reactivation of the trypsin (30-40X). It can be aesumed that the conetant of combining the boric acid with the fold~ng proCein ehould be of the eame order 10-6M). With native enzymea--alpha-chymotrypein /21/, eubtilyain, alkalin~ peptidase, _ pancreaC~c lipase, pencillinamidase /23/ and trypain /22/, the boric acid attaches aubatanCial.ly worae (constanC of diseociation of the complex with the active center ia 10'2 - 1 M).

As for the kinetiice of the procese, reactivation in the presence of glutatihiones procaeda more rapidly than in their absence (compare curves 1 and 3 in Fig. 4). Th~.s agrees with the idea that the reaction rate ia limited by the chem~.cal stages of the thiaL-d3sulfide exchange /7/. Addirion of glutathiones at the end of the folding, carried out in the presence of H3B03 (Fig. 4,3), ~eads to furtiher increase in catalytic act- ivity (curve 4). This result 3ndicaCes that at~achment of the boric acid to the folding proeein does not control the fixing of all of the native S-S bonds; some of them are formed incorrectly. Since, in this experi- q~emt, catalyzers of ~he Chio1-diaulfide exchange were added withouC addition of urea (without aupplementary unfolding of the proCein) it can be thoughC that the following redistribution of Che S-S bonds, accompanied by an in- crease of caCalyCic activity (Fig. 4,4) does not require substantial con- formar3onal changes in the protein. Mechanism of the influence of effectors on the reacCivation yield in the absence of catalyzers of the thiol-disulfide exchang~: The reaults ob- t~ined can be explained in Che following way. In the early stages of the folding, both "correct" and "incorrect" intermediary conformers are already being formed. They are in dynamic equilibri~n, the mobility of which is deCermined by the magnitude of the activation barrier. tnlith addition to the folding protein of an eff ector able to form a complex only with "correct" intermediary conformer, shift of equilibrium should take place to the aide _ ~f increase in concentration of the "correct" conformer due to the free ei,ergy of combining: "incorrect" conformer ~ "correct" conformer ~ complex of the "correct" conformer with the effector However, such a mobile equilibrium can be seen only at early stages of fo?3Lng, whan the polypeptide chain is still suf�iciently mobile (in particu- l~r, is not fixed by "inco�rrect" S-S bonds). In this case, i.e., in the complex with an effector, the "correct" conformer, continuing to fold, is fixed by the correct (native) disulfide bridges, as a result of which active trypsin is formed with a higher yield than in a camplex without effector. Surh a situation is realized, apparently, only in the presence of boric ac'd or benzamidin. It can be assumed that these inhibitors positively ir luence reactivation of trypsin, precisely for this reason, that they are capable of combining with the folding protein even at the early stage of the process. This means that even in early sCages of folding of trypsin there are formed separate fragments of the active center which react with the inhibiCors of cataly~ic activity, i.e., a drawing together occurs of the catalytically-active groups of a serine-histidine pair with which the boric acid reacts and a sarption sector is organized on which the attach- ment of benzamidin takes place. 18 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR nFFICIAL US~ ONLY Anoeher eitiuae~.on ~.s seen in addieion of epecif~.c eubatrgtes or protein ~.n- hibitors. These compounda are ttble to react with euffinient ef�icacy only wi~h a complere~.y-organiz~d active center. Moreover, formation of a com- plex di the enzyme witih a proeein 3nhibitor, asaumes a definite organixation of a rather large seceion of tihe surface of the globule near the active cenCer. The fact tihaC these effectore do not influence the regctiivation o� Crypsin ~Table) indicatea, evidently, thaC they are capab le of combining wiCh inreXmediary conformers of the protein. This meana that formation of rhe ~ct~v~ cenCer finiahea only at Che last ~tage of the folding. In tihie case, those moleculea which have already f ormed the "incorrect" intermediaee conFormationa (have been fixed by "incorrect" S-S bonds) cannot be recon- atructed into correct conformers--tihis would require (in ehe absence of caCalyzers of thiol-disulfide exchange) ~naurmounCably-large energy ex- pendiCurea on apli~ting of covalent S-S bonds. Hence, effecCora, highly- specific to Che aceive cenCer o� trypain, are not nble even to shift the ~ conformation equilibrium to the side of enzyme renaCuraeion. Study of reactivaeion of immobilized enzymea in the presence of effectora is important at the very leasC from three points of view. First, atudiea _ of the system model the folding o� proteina in vivo. 'I'he model suggeated by us has mer3t because it takea into account that poly?peptides, in bio- syntheais, are "immobilized" on ribosomea /1/. Trypsin, in this model, ~ is seen as "simply" a protein, ita specificity ie considered only in se1- ection of effectors. It is knawn ChaC trypsin, in vivo, is not direc~ly folded; it is formed by limited proteolyais of the inactive predecessor Crypsinogen /34/. Neverthelesa, even for auch an "unfortunate" (from the point of view of folding) protein, as trypein, it has been posaible in thiy work to show that the immobilization and an effector, in their common action, substantially increase the effectivenesa of reactivation. In com- _ parison with the statistical probability of formaCion of six native S-S bonds fram 12 SH-groupa (0.01%) the reactivation yield increased by a factor of several thousand, reaching 30-40%. It must be emphasized that folding of protein was studied by us precisely in the absence of catalyzera of the thiol-disulfide exchange. Hence, it is possible that in living naCure Che redistribution of S-S bonds in folding of protein does not play so subsCanCial a role as could be thought on the basis of experimenta carried out in vitro with ribonuclease /35/, lysozyme /36/ and Che pan- creatic inhibitor of trypsin /37/. These proteins could be reactivated in the free (not immobilized) form by a fundamentally different mechanism: through intermediate products with a non-native bank of disulfide bonds with their subsequent breakup in reactions of thiol-disulfide exchange and formation as the result of conformation restructure of native S-S bridges. As shown in the present article, it is possible by immobilization, with mutual action of an effector, to completely avoid the intermediate form- aicion of incorrect S-S bonds. Second, it is known Chat some proteins, after unfolding, with splitting of inCramolecular S-S bridges, are not able to renature /3/. It can be hoped that, as the result of immobilization,it is still possible to bring about renaturation of such proteins if the corresponding effector can be selected, ~g FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOIt OI~'rZCTAL USE ONLY In solving thia problem, it is posaible to try ~o reactiv~te ~.rrevereibly den~tured enzymes based on Che known achemme /38/.

Experiments conducted according to specie~~ ~ethods (Sokolov et a1., 1971; Kuznetsov, 1974; 1978s; 1978~) he?ve ahown that dolphina can differentiqte a number of subste~ncee diasolved in Water (indole, camphor, tri- mett~ylemine, valerianic and caproic acide, secretion of ena]. and pro$tate glands and so forth). It ahould be noted thet mar~y of the eubstancee very aell perceived by dolphins are inadequate stimuli for the gustatory receptors of the tongue of other mammals. Along With this, aubstances poesessing a purPly gust~atory effect, srith the exception of bitter substances, aere poorly distinguished by exp~rimenta]. animals.

It should be noted, however, that there are great difficulties in studying the dependence of the magnetiic field orienta~ion effect on ~gnetic field inte:~sity, since the measurements must be highly precise; it should also be noted that the fiqures presented above are not precise.

Rachinskiy, Atomizdat, 2550 copies, 190 pages] [Text] This book, the first edition of which was issued in 1964, is devoCed to medical prevention of acute radiation sickness caused by external x-ray, gamma- and neutron radiation in fatal quant3tiea. The questions of research, experimentation, and the mechanisms of the effect of radioprotectors are examined. Particular atCention is devoted to sulphur-bearing compounds, but data are presented on all classes of adequately effec- tive anCi-radiation chemical compounds. The book is intended for radiobiologists and pharmacolo- gists, and for speciaLista in medical radiology, radia- tion hygiene and protective medicine. Eleven drawings, 56 tables, 422 titles in bibliogr~phy. - In*.roducCion At the present time chemical prevention of radiation contamination (chemi- cal protection) is a recognized branch of radiobiology and radiation medi- cine and no longer needs special ~ustification as it did 10 or 15 years ago [14]. ~he terms "chemical prevention" and "chemical protection" should not be ~aken literally. Pharmacological substances that, when introduced before irradiation, completely avert the characteristic changes in the organism known as radiation sickness are still unknown. The terms "chemical pre- vention" and "chemical protection" should be taken to represent a concep�~~ tion of 3ncreased resistance or of decreased sensitivity in animal or human organisms to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Future research will demonstrate which of these two concepts most accurately reflects the facts. For the time being an equal sign must be placed between them. 50 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFICIAL U9E ONLY }{iataric~iiy, th~ l~.r~~ work eo ~how Ch~ po~eibii#.ey ~f ehamica~.ly pr~- venting r~diat~rni dam~ge in mammal~ aae that o~ Pate ~385~ ~nd Crdnkie~ ~295, 298J, who d~mon~ernted in 1949-1951 ehat cyetein~ and glutarhione, wh~n intr~du~ed ineo th~ organi,ems of miea and r~ee b~for~ ~~tha~. x-r~y irradiation, ware cap~b],~ of pravene~.ng death in ~~ignific~nC number o� animala~ However, the protective effect wae not conetant, whi,ch pro- vnked ekepriciEm about the very Eact of protection.

In the succeeding years rhousands of new compounda were synrhesixed and etudied in tesCs on mice, and gmong these effective r~dioprotecrive agenea were discovered with a wid~r therapeutic range than that of cyaCeamine and cygeamine; these finds stimulated intereat in the queetion (181~204,263j. T'he moet thoroughly studied radioprotectanta have begun to be uaed in x-ray therapy and oneological practice. Atter the release of Che first edition a greaC deal of material was puU- lished on new radioprotective agents and the mechanisms of their pharma- cological and protective actic~n [18, 70, 103, 173, 183, 184, 256J. This spared ~he authors of thie book the need to syetematically set forth the prablem of chemical prevention of radiation contamination. In the pres- ent edition, as previously, the superior radioprotective effect of amino- thioles and their derivativea is examined, as well as their conversion in the human and animal organism and their influence on the condition of the organism. The suthors have had much personal experience in the synthesis and analysis of these compounds. They also considered it essential to compare the radioprotecCive effect of aminothioles with that of other - radioprotective compounds, and to present new data on the effectiveness of radioprotectants under different conditions of the action not only of. x- and r-ray irradiation, but also of neutro+ns and protona, and data on the effectivenesa of radioprotectants in combination. At the same time _ the authors have shortened or deleted several chapters and aections whose contents fell outside the framework of analysis, testing and evaluation of rFdioprotecCants. 51 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFILIAL USE ONLY Table o� Cont~nts IntrnduCtidn 3 i~ Chemic~~. properties o� radioproCectiants b 1. prop~rt~~g of r~d3oprorect3ve ~ubstance~ b 2.

The book is intended for plant protection apecialists, agronomists, and aookhoz and kolkhoz directors. InCroduction In view of the further intensification of agriculture, protecting plants for pests, disease and weeds is an integral part of a progressive technology of crop cultivation. The most important tasks involved in perfecting and r~inforcing plant protection in this country were determined in the basic directives for national economic development in the USSR for 1976-1980, accepted by the 25th GPSU Congress: furrher expansion of pesticide production, with deliveries to agriculture of up Co 628,000 tona (in conditional ~~�r~its) wae called for, as was the need to protect tfie bioaphere from p~llc;cion. Tl~e July (1978) Plenum of the CC CPSU also devoted coneiderable attention to the protecCion of plants~ 'Che importance of the chemical method of protecting harvesCs from plant pests and disease lies in its higfi effectiveneas, return for money expended, and accessibility for use. For example, in 1975, Chanks to the use of ~ pesCicides to combat pests, disease and weeds in the main agricultural crops, ~ an additional 16.5 million tons of grain, 11.7 million tons of vegeCables and potatoes, 16 million tons of sugar beets, 2.2 million tons of raw cotton, 3.6 million tons of fruit, 2.3 million tons grapes and other products, were harvested for a total of 7.8 billion rubles. 53 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLX APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY ~ 'Ch~ nh~micai meehod i~ now being perfeceed ar~th tihe a~m of r~duci,ng eh~ Jang~r of ~h~~~ prepar~eion~ eo hum~na, ~seful organi.em~~ ~nd narur~ a~ a whal~.

In 1965 the average toxicity nf in~ectoacaricidee for warm-blooded organiema was 200 mg/kg, and itt 1975, g~0 mg/kg, so the toxicity of the preparationa has been decreased almoet Eiv~-fo1d. U~ring ehis period all preparatione that are highly toxic for wgrm-blooded animalg were eliminated, as were resistant cumulative sub- ~tnnce~ that can cause chronic poieoning. As replacemenCa for DDT and other chlorine organic compounda, phoephororganic compounds of inedium or low roxicity for warm-blooded animale, which break down in one vegetation period co nontoxic meta~olitea, were adopted. 'Che State Commission for Chemical Substances for Combating Pests, Plant Uisease and Weeds recommended for agricultural use organic phosphorue compounds ((antio], basudin, [bromophos], [gardonaj, ~volathonJ, DDVP, � (amipho~sJ, metathion, (phosalon~, [B1-58j, (phthalophos] and others), c~rbamic acid esters (sevin, [pirimor]), organic halogen compounds ([dilor], [tedton], keltan, gamma-isomer HCC11 and orhera), nitro derivatives (acrex) an~ others. About a third of the recommended preparations are selective inse:ticides and acaricidea with a lethal dosage (causing over SO percent mortality in test animals) of over 1,000 mg/kg. Specifically, this figure is 1,900-5,000 mg/kg for ~gardona], 5,000-9,000 mg/kg for [dilor], 5,000-10,000 mg/kg for (tedion] and so forCh. The uae of these preparations permits control of the chemical method and decreased danger to useful mert.bers of the agroceuoeis. For example, specific acaricides and aphicides (acrex, [tedion], kelt~n, (plictran, pirimor] and others) are 500-1,000 times mo~e toxic to pests than to their main enemiea (chrysopids, coccinellidae, pt~latory bugs, flies, etc.). Insecticides such as [gardona, dilar, amiphos] are 100-500 times more dangerous for harmful insects than for entomophages. New forms of preparations and methods of their application have been worked out to Purther increase the efficiency and safety of chemical substances. Preparations in granular form are highly effective for combating pests (wireworm, grain ground beetle, weevil, cutworm, nematodes); they are also significantly less dangerous Co useful organisms and contribute much less to 54 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 FOR OFFICtAL US~ ONLY th~ c~nCaminar~.nn o~ the envi~on~ec~t~ For wide~pread uap granu~ated pr~pnr~eion~ b~~~d on Che gamma-i~omer HCCH, basud~n (va~.ekeon~, " m~Chald~hyde, (phoephamid~, chlorophoe~ ~rc~, ere recommended~ Aer3a1 u1Crn-low volume ~praytng is being ~eeted for use in combaCing liarm�ul luci?~~H, ,aeink bugs, end grain cutworm ne~ng epecial forme of Chese ~~r~rarat3on, '1'he assdrtmettt o~ fungicides and seed mordante has been i~prov~d ~nd upd~e~d.

In Eield conditions the Soviet preparation gliftor, which is practically harml~ss eo birds, is widely used, and synthetic blood anticoagulants are highly effective in combating rats and mice. The entire contemporary arsenal of chemical substances for proCecCtng plants has been thoroughly sCudied at the correaponding scientific estab- lisliments of the USSR riinistry of Public Health, and based on this study standards have been determined for the the use of these preparations: optimal norms for expenditure of pesticides; permissible maximwn residue in food products; permissible amount of the preparations in the air of work zones; waiting period from last processing to fiarveat. Successful solutions to the problems of regulating the chemical method and eliminating the possible negative consequences to the use of pesticides (such as poisoning of humans and domestic animals, of bees, which pollinate plants, and of enromophages; formation of resistant populations of harmful insects, acauds, and pathogen; desposiC of preparation residues in harvested products, and pollution of the environment with these residues) may be reached not only by selecting new preparations, but by rational and expert inclusion of chemical methods in the zone system of protecting agricultural 55 FOR OFFICItiI.

The high contaminating effect of toxic chemicals ~J wa$ irrefutably demonstrated during the FirsC World War when the use of chemical weaponry caused the deaths of huge numbers of people and serious damage to Army personnel sub~ected to such attacks. In the following years it was found that people who had been seriously affected by OV frequently became invalids requiring constant medical observation or long-term treatment. At the Genoa Conferettce in 1922 the question of forbidding chemical warfare was brought up on the initiative of the Soviet Union, but the repreaentativea of the imperialist states declined to discuss the issue. In Geneva in 1925 ' an agreement was worked out forbidding the use in war of "...asphixiating, poisonous or stmilar gases and bacter~iological substances." Although the Soviet Union was among the firat to ratify this agreement, a number of countries, including the USA and Japan, refused ratification.

The ttireat of mags conCamination of the population in the event that gn aggressor employ~ chemical weaponry forces the Civil Defense (CD) medical services to face a number of tasks, of which the most important are: n) implemenCing all-round preventive measures with Che aim of avoiding OV contaminaCiott; b) taking correct and timely measures to provide self- and mutual assistance, and CD assistance in the chemically conCaminated zone; c) to warn of Che laCer development of after-effects characteriatic of seriou~ damage by OV. Although these tasks are faced in the event.of a ChreaC, not only of chemical, bur of nuclear and bacteriological warfare, the scope and nature of the medical measures taken in a zone of chemical cnntamination are unique and specific. We have devoted much aCtention in Chis publication to explaining Che peculiarities of damage caused by chemi- cal weaponry. The fulfillment of the Casks set before the CD medical services requires of the middle medical workers a clear understanding of the nature of the medi- cal measures taken under the threat of a chemical attack, in the zone of chemical contamination and during medical evacuaCion. The history of Che use of chemical weaponry shows convincingly that the greatest damaRe is caused by OV when the army and population are noC pre- par~d to combat the latsr consequences of a chemical attack. A high level of preparedness in the population, all CD services and particularly the medical service is a sure guarantee of keeping Cotal personnel losses to a minimum, in particular by reducing the number of irretrievable losses and changing the balance of injuries in favor of li~ht and semi-serious cases. The material presented below has been arran~ed to correspond to the training level of middle medical workers in problems of antichemical defense. 59 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000100080025-5 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000100084425-5 . run ~rri~~.e+L u~u u?vLi [Text] '~able of ConCenCs Cntroduction 3 ChapC~r 1 5horC descr~.ption of chemical weaponry 6 Ch~prer ~ Clinicgl meehods, diagnoais and tirearment o� FP5 pnisotting 20 Chapeer 3 Clinical meChods, diagnosis and Creatment of patients ~ffected by OV causing skin abscesses 69 ChapCer 4 Clinicnl meChods, diagnoeis and Creatment of hydrocyanic acid poisoning 98 Chupter 5 Clinical meChods, diagnoeis and Creatment of pnCienCs af�ected by psychomimetic OV 111 Chapter 6 Clinical methods, diagnosis and treatment of patients affected by OV wiCh deteriorative effects 121 Ctiapter 7 Bnsic methods of resCoring respiraCory function 133 ' Chapr.er 8 Means of individual and collective antichemical defense 150 I Conclusion !
