- All retrospective image registration methods have attached to them some intrinsic estimate of registration error. However, this estimate of accuracy may not always be a good indicator of the distance between actual and estimated positions of targets within the cranial cavity. This paper describes a project whose principal goal is to use a prospective method based on fiducial markers as a ’gold standard’ to perform an objective, blinded evaluation of the accuracy of several retrospective image-to-image registration techniques. Image volumes of three modalities – CT, MR, and PET – were taken of patients undergoing neurosurgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. These volumes had all traces of the fiducial markers removed, and were provided to project collaborators outside Vanderbilt, who then performed retrospective registrations on the volumes, calculating transformations from CT to MR and/or from PET to MR, and communicated their transformations to Vanderbilt where the accuracy of each registration was evaluated. In this evaluation the accuracy is measured at multiple ’regions of interest,’ i.e. areas in the brain which would commonly be areas of neurological interest. A region is defined in the MR image and its centroid C is determined. Then the prospective registration is used to obtain the corresponding point C’ in CT or PET. To this point the retrospective registration is then applied, producing C’ in MR. Statistics are gathered on the target registration error (TRE), which is the disparity between the original point C and its corresponding point C’. A second goal of the project is to evaluate the importance of correcting geometrical distortion in MR images, by comparing the retrospective TRE in the rectified images, i.e., those which have had the distortion correction applied, with that of the same images before rectification. This paper presents preliminary results of this study along with a brief description of each registration technique and an estimate of both preparation and execution time needed to perform the registration.

- Inside-out submitochondrial particles (IO-SMP) were isolated and purified from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv.) tubers. When these IO-SMP were incubated with [γ32P]ATP more then 20 proteins became labelled as a result of phosphorylation. The 32P incorporation was stimulated by the oxidizing reagent ferricyanide. Except for a 17 kDa protein which was phosphorylated only in the absence of divalent cations, the protein phosphorylation required Mg2+. The time for half-maximum 32P incorporation was 4 min for the 22 kDa phospho-F1 δ-subunit and 2 min for the 28 kDa phospho-F0 b-subunit of the proton-ATPase. The K(m) for ATP for the detected phosphoproteins was between 65 μM and 110 μM. The pH optimum for protein phosphorylation in inner membranes was between pH 6 and 8, and for the F1 δ-subunit and the F0 b-subunit the pH optima were 6.5-8 and pH 8, respectively. A 37 kDa phosphoprotein was phosphorylated on a histidine residue while the remainder of the inner membrane proteins were phosphorylated on serine or threonine residues. Two autophosphorylated putative kinases were identified: one at 16.5 kDa required divalent cations for autophosphorylation, while another at 30 kDa did not. A 110 kDa protein was labelled only with [α-32P]ATP, suggesting adenylylation.

- Inside-out submitochondrial particles from potato tuber mitochondria were incubated with [γ-32P]ATP. More than 16 phosphorylated polypeptides were detected by autoradiography on an SDS-gel. Two phosphoproteins, migrating at 22 and 28 kDa, were excised from the SDS-gel, electroeluted, and purified further by anion chromatography. The phosphoproteins were N-terminally sequenced. Over the regions sequenced, the 22 and 28 kDa phosphoproteins had 100% sequence identity with potato proteins identified as the δ'-subunit of the F1-ATPase and the b-subunit of the F0-ATPase, respectively. We suggest that phosphorylation of these proteins may control the interaction between F1 and F0 and regulate energy coupling in oxidative phosphorylation.
