Toxins that slow ciliary beat are virulence determinants of bacteria that infect or invade ciliated epithelial surfaces. We have previously shown that the effect of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin pyocyanin on ciliary beat is associated with a fall in intracellular cAMP and ATP. We have now investi

โฆ Synopsis
Metal ions play an important role in biochemical reactions. The interaction between metal ions and adenosine nucleotides has been studied by many workers using various analytical methods rs2. However, little is known about the effect of metal ions on the electrophoretic migration of adenosine nucleotides. One of the difficulties in elucidating the interaction of metal ions by use of electrophoresis is the fact that the migration of low concentrations of metal ions does not give well defined migration zones. Thus, to improve the shape of the migration zone, an electrolyte must be added to the supporting solution. We have employed sodium chloride as

## Abstract Adenosine and colchicine have antagonistic effects on cell shape. When Chinese Hamster lung fibroblasts (CHE36โ6) or SV40 transformed 3T3 (SV3T3) cells are incubated with colchicine (1 ฮผM) for one hour at 37ยฐC, they round up into spheres with short spikes. Cells treated with adenosine (
