End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The National Science Foundation, as directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95-541), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas requiring special protection. The regulations establish such a permit system to designate Antarctic Specially Protected Areas.
The applications received are as follows:
1. Applicant: H. William Detrich, III, Department of Biology, 134 Mugar Hall, Northwestern University, Boston, MA 02115.
Permit Application No: 2010-023.
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Introduce non-indigenous species into Antarctica. The applicant plans to use Escherichia coli strain BL21DE3 for production of35 S-labeled proteins to be used in protein folding assays performed in the Palmer Station laboratories. The applicant will continue analysis of a cold-functioning chaperonin protein folding system from testis tissue of the Antarctica fish, Gobionotothen gibberifrons. To demonstrate that the chaperonin is functional, they must use protein substrates labeled with35 S-methionine. To obtain these proteins, they will express G. gibberifrons actin and tubulin substrates in E. coli in a medium supplemented with35 S-methionine.
The E. coli will not be released to the environment. Cultures will be autoclaved to kill the bacteria, and the waste will be disposed via the radioactive materials waste stream using approved protocols.
Location
Palmer Station, Anvers Island, Antarctic Peninsula.
Dates: April 10, 2010 to June 8, 2010.
