Summary The study of the distribution of Cd, Zn and Cu in homogenates of mussels has shown that Zn and Cu are principally associated with high mol. wt. proteins. The same distribution is observed for Cd in untreated mussels, but in Cd chronically intoxicated animals, the metal is principally bound to low mol. wt. proteins synthesized in response to the uptake of the cation and similar to metallothioneins of vertebrates.This research was carried out in participation in the Belgian National Research and Development Program on the Environment-Water-Sea Project-Office of the Prime Minister-Interministerial Commission for Science Policy and Programmation.I am grateful to Prof.A. Disteche and Dr.Ch. Gerday for theiradvice throughout this work. I thankR. Biondo andN. Gerardin for excellent technical assistance. 相似文献

Summary After large scale isoelectric focusing of rat liver non-histone protein in polyacrylamide gel, pH range 4–8.6, the only protein material found outside the gradient was present in the cathode solution (20 mM NaOH). This was low mol. wt protein material (approximately 10,000) with an acidic amino acid composition. It bound 5–6 times its own weight of basic ampholine carrier ampholytes to give a complex with a pI of 8.82. This could be dissociated by dialysis against 1 M NaCl.We are indebted to the Yorkshire Cancer Research Campaign for financial support for this project. 相似文献

The effects of dosage and of cadmium pretreatment on the binding of cadmium in rat bile were studied. With increasing dose a higher cumulative biliary excretion of Cd was observed and a higher percentage of the Cd was excreted in a low-molecular-weight form. On the other hand, after cadmium pretreatment, a decrease in the cumulative biliary excretion of cadmium was observed but a greater percentage of that excreted into the bile was bound to high molecular weight compounds. 相似文献

A novel fibrinolytic enzyme (nattokinase) in the vegetable cheese Natto; a typical and popular soybean food in the Japanese diet 总被引:61,自引:0,他引:61

Summary A strong fibrinolytic activity was demonstrated in the vegetable cheese Natto, which is a typical soybean food eaten in Japan. The average activity was calculated at about 40 CU (plasmin units)/g wet weight. This novel fibrinolytic enzyme, named nattokinase, was easily extracted with saline. The mol. wt and pI were about 20,000 and 8.6, respectively. Nattokinase not only digested fibrin but also the plasmin substrate H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA (S-2251), which was more sensitive to the enzyme than other substrates tried. Diisopropyl fluorophosphate and 2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl-o,o-dimethylphosphate strongly inhibited this fibrinolytic enzyme. 相似文献

Proteolytic activity was detected outside dialysis bag filled with Bromelia hemisphaerica fruit juice. The dialysable protease was concentrated and purified from small molecular weight contaminants on Sephadex G-10 columns. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the dialysable protease, in the presence of SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol, demonstrated a single protein band of about 8000 daltons mol. wt. The same single band with identical mobility was shown with Hemisphaericin, the enzyme retained inside the dialysis bag. The small protease, named Hemisphaericin-D was antigenic in rabbits and the antibodies cross-reacted fully with Hemisphaericin. Hemisphaericin-D appears not to be a degradation product of Hemisphaericin. 相似文献

Angiogenesis, the process of developing a hemovascular network, is an essential feature of the growth of solid tumors, and is induced by factors secreted by tumor cells. Assay procedures suitable for the investigation of angiogenesis, and for the screening of angiogenesis factors during purification are reviewed; and a number of reports describing the purification of angiogenesis factors, primarily from the rat Walker 256 carcinoma as starting material, are discussed. Work from the authors' laboratory is also presented. Walker 256 cells grown in large-scale culture were the source of a reproducible and homogeneous source of angiogenic material. Factors secreted by these cells were isolated by a series of chromatographic steps. Ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-Sephadex produced two active fractions, one of which was fractionated into several macromolecular species by lectin affinity and hydrophobic adsorption chromatography. The other gave a high mol.wt, active fraction that was resolved into a low mol.wt, active component and a non-angiogenic but possibly carrier molecule with a mol.wt of 140,000. While none of the angiogenic factors were identified chemically, the results demonstrate the existence of both high and low mol.wt tumor-secreted angiogenic substances, confirming the hypothesis for tumor-induced angiogenesis and predicting potential means to interfere with the process of tumor growth. 相似文献

The R120G mutation in the small heat shock protein (sHSP) alpha B-crystallin has been identified in a family suffering from desmin-related myopathy. In this study, we characterized the features of transiently expressed R120G alpha B-crystallin in mammalian cells. In addition, we examined interactions of this mutant alpha B-crystallin with Hsp27, another representative sHSP. In HeLa cells, transiently expressed R120G alpha B-crystallin was mainly fractionated in the insoluble fraction, although wild-type alpha B-crystallin was predominantly found in the soluble fraction. In immunofluorescence studies, we found 15-25% of R120G alpha B-crystallin-expressing cells to contain multiple cytosolic inclusion bodies, in which Hsp27 was also localized. When R120G alpha B-crystallin and Hsp27 were transiently co-expressed in HeLa cells, the amount of R120G alpha B-crystallin in the soluble fraction was greater than with expression of R120G alpha B-crystallin alone. Moreover, co-expression resulted in reduced formation of inclusion bodies, suggesting that Hsp27 acts as a molecular chaperone for R120G alpha B-crystallin. 相似文献

Summary The trehalase from the extramitochondrial fraction of abdominal and thoracic muscles of Macrobrachium lamarrei was purified to give a 12.85fold increase in specific activity. Its optimum pH was 6.0, Km value was 2.85 mM and had a mol.wt around 120,000. Tris HCl buffer inhibited the enzyme activity by 21.7%.I am thankful to Prof. R. Rakshpal and Dr Padma Saxena for guidance and to University Grants commission, India, for the award of a Junior Research Fellowship 相似文献

Elastase digested urokinase (ED-UK) was prepared from human high mol. wt urokinase (HMW-UK). It resembled low mol. wt urokinase (LMW-UK) in its mol. wt, specific activity, and active sites. The steady-state kinetic parameters of each enzyme for the activation of human Glu-plasminogen also resembled each other, as did their amidase parameters (with pyro-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA). 相似文献

Summary From 4 serum aminopeptidases (2 of pregnant and 2 of nonpregnant women's sera), the placental lysosomal (mol. wt 320,000) splits Lys-NAp only. B-Cys-NAp is hydrolyzed from the both placental enzymes, i.e. lysosomal and microsomal (mol. wt 145.000) AP. Ala-NAp is split by both nonpregnant serum AP more readily than Leu-NAp. 相似文献

When plants are subjected to high metal exposure, different plant species take different strategies in response to metal-induced stress. Largely, plants can be distinguished in four groups: metal-sensitive species, metal-resistant excluder species, metal-tolerant non-hyperaccumulator species, and metal-hypertolerant hyperaccumulator species, each having different molecular mechanisms to accomplish their resistance/tolerance to metal stress or reduce the negative consequences of metal toxicity. Plant responses to heavy metals are molecularly regulated in a process called metal homeostasis, which also includes regulation of the metal-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling pathway. ROS generation and signaling plays an important duel role in heavy metal detoxification and tolerance. In this review, we will compare the different molecular mechanisms of nutritional (Zn) and non-nutritional (Cd) metal homeostasis between metal-sensitive and metal-adapted species. We will also include the role of metal-induced ROS signal transduction in this comparison, with the aim to provide a comprehensive overview on how plants cope with Zn/Cd stress at the molecular level. 相似文献

Electron microscopy of the partially heat denatured ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from sea urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) sperm has demonstrated that it consists of repeating units of 3.6 +/- 0.2 micron, corresponding to a mol.wt of 7.2 +/- 0.4 x 10(6). Based on differential denaturability, each repeat unit is divided into 2 regions. The larger region of 2.47 +/- 0.11 micron (mol.wt 4.9 +/- 0.22 x 10(6)) corresponds in length to the ribosomal precursor RNA of sea urchins and the smaller, GC-rich, subunit of 1.16 +/- 0.09 micrometer (mol.wt 2.3 +/- 0.18 x 10(6)) is presumed to contain non-transcribed spacer sequences. 相似文献
