Article Synopsis
- The essay advocates for African-inspired ethical approaches to tackle key global issues, emphasizing sustainability through innovative agroecological and communication technologies.
- It highlights the work of Cheikh Anta Diop and illustrates Godfrey Nzamujo's Songhaï Centers, which combat rural poverty by integrating education and advanced tech in seventeen African nations.
- The proposal includes creating a global consortium of ecovillages based on Nzamujo's model, accompanied by discussions on funding strategies and a call for renewed focus on environmental ethics in Africa.
We have constructed a cDNA library from the highly hydroxyurea-resistant hamster cell line 600H in which the activity of ribonucleotide reductase is elevated more than 80-fold. Using the technique of differential hybridization, we have isolated a number of cDNA clones from this library which are homologous to genomic DNA sequences amplified in the 600H cell line compared to the V79 parental line. One of these cDNA clones by sequence analysis was found to code for ornithine decarboxylase.

This increase in enzyme activity is due to an increased level of both the M1 and M2 subunit activities. The M1 subunit has been purified from the 600H cell line and shown to consist of a series of six protein spots with apparent molecular weights of 88,000 daltons, but with varying isoelectric points in the range of pH 6.
