The incorporation of 35S-cysteine and 3H-glutamic acid was studied in mouse hepatic and renal metallothionein and in testicular cadmium-binding protein of similar molecular weight. Preferential incorporation of 35S-cysteine over 3H-glutamic acid was observed not only in hepatic and renal metallothionein, but also in testicular cadmium-binding protein. When the antigenic reactivity of these proteins was compared, all three proteins reacted with the metallothionein antibody. These similarities suggest that the low molecular weight testicular cadmium-binding protein is apparently metallothionein. 相似文献

Human plasma contains proteins capable of binding 14C putrescine by the action of Ca++ activated transglutaminase. These proteins have molecular weights from 32 to 220 K and above. One of these (with a molecular weight of 220 K) has been identified as fibronectin by the use of an antifibronectin antiserum. Evidence for a protein with a molecular weight identical to that of fibronectin has been obtained on PAGE analysis of the precipitate formed on incubating human serum with antipolyamine antiserum. 相似文献

A few proteins, discovered mainly in tropical fruits, have a distinct sweet taste. These proteins have played an important
role towards a molecular understanding of the mechanisms of taste. Owing to the huge difference in size, between most sweeteners
and sweet proteins, it was believed that they must interact with a different receptor from that of small molecular weight
sweeteners. Recent modelling studies have shown that the single sweet taste receptor has multiple active sites and that the
mechanism of interaction of sweet proteins is intrinsically different from that of small sweeteners. Small molecular weight
sweeteners occupy small receptor cavities inside two subdomains of the receptor, whereas sweet proteins can interact with
the sweet receptor according to a mechanism called the ‘wedge model’ in which they bind to a large external cavity. This review
describes these mechanisms and outlines a history of sweet proteins.

The concentration of high molecular weight kininogen antigen in homogenates of various human tissues
J. Kleniewski Maria Bogumił-Oczkowska 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》1980,36(3):354-356
Summary The concentration of high molecular weight kininogen, measured in human tissue homogenates, was 2–3 times higher in kidneys, adrenals and thyroid than in homogenates of lung, heart, liver and spleen. No measurable quantities of this protein were found in homogenates of brain and skeletal muscles.This work was supported by a grant from the Department of Medical Sciences of Polish Academy of Sciences. 相似文献

Molecular evidence for increased hematopoietic proliferation in the spleen of the b/b laboratory rat

The splenomegaly and the appearance of a significant number of CFU-E (erythroid colony-forming units) and BFU-E1 (erythroid burst-forming units) in the Belgrade laboratory rat (b/b) spleen prompted us to analyse further the molecular evidence for increased hematopoietic proliferation in the b/b spleen. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) specific for globins, proteins for iron transport and deposition and the band 3 protein were used in rat erythropoietic tissues as markers for proliferation and erythroid differentiation. In the b/b spleen, all mRNAs analysed display an erythroid-specific pattern of expression. This analysis also revealed an enhanced level of mRNA for ferritin in the +/b spleen, whereas erythrocyte-specific mRNA production was normal. 相似文献

Summary The main carboxylesterase in the hemolymph of the migratory locust,Locusta migratoria, is a protein of high molecular weight; about 700–750 kDa. This esterase hydrolyzes juvenile hormone III, -naphthylacetate and -naphthylacetate. The carboxylesterase dissociates to give an esterase of molecular weight 148 kDa after treatment of the hemolymph with mercaptoethanol. 相似文献

The role of ras and other low molecular weight guanine nucleotide (GTP)-binding proteins during hematopoietic cell differentiation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Recent progress in the understanding of signal transduction and gene regulation in hematopoietic cells has shown that many intracellular signalling pathways are modulated by low molecular weight guanine nucleotide (GTP)-binding proteins (LMWGs). LMWGs act as molecular switches for regulating a wide range of signal-transduction pathways in virtually all cells. In hematopoietic cells, LMWGs have been shown to participate in essential functions such as growth control, differentiation, cytoskeletal organization, cytokine and chemoattractant-induced signalling events, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity, intracellular vesicle transport and secretion. In human leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders, Ras activation occurs by point mutations, overexpression or by alteration of NF-1 Ras-GTPase activating protein (GAP). These are postinitiation events in leukemia but may modulate growth-factor-dependent and independent leukemic growth. Two animal models of mutated N-ras expression resulting in myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features are discussed. The role of Ras in organ development is discussed in the context of transgenic knockout mice. More LMWG functions will certainly be identified as we gain a better understanding of regulatory pathways modulating myeloid signal transduction. This review will summarize our current understanding of this rapidly advancing area of research. 相似文献

Controlling iron/oxygen chemistry in biology depends on multiple genes, regulatory messenger RNA (mRNA) structures, signaling
pathways and protein catalysts. Ferritin, a protein nanocage around an iron/oxy mineral, centralizes the control. Complementary
DNA (antioxidant responsive element/Maf recognition element) and mRNA (iron responsive element) responses regulate ferritin
synthesis rates. Multiple iron-protein interactions control iron and oxygen substrate movement through the protein cage, from
dynamic gated pores to catalytic sites related to di-iron oxygenase cofactor sites. Maxi-ferritins concentrate iron for the
bio-synthesis of iron/heme proteins, trapping oxygen; bacterial mini-ferritins, DNA protection during starvation proteins,
reverse the substrate roles, destroying oxidants, trapping iron and protecting DNA. Ferritin is nature’s unique and conserved
approach to controlled, safe use of iron and oxygen, with protein synthesis in animals adjusted by dual, genetic DNA and mRNA
sequences that selectively respond to iron or oxidant signals and link ferritin to proteins of iron, oxygen and antioxidant
metabolism.

Cell penetrating peptides: overview and applications to the delivery of oligonucleotides 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
F. Said Hassane A. F. Saleh R. Abes M. J. Gait Bernard Lebleu 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2010,67(5):715-726
Crossing biological barriers represents a major limitation for clinical applications of biomolecules such as nucleic acids,
peptides or proteins. Cell penetrating peptides (CPP), also named protein transduction domains, comprise short and usually
basic amino acids-rich peptides originating from proteins able to cross biological barriers, such as the viral Tat protein,
or are rationally designed. They have emerged as a new class of non-viral vectors allowing the delivery of various biomolecules
across biological barriers from low molecular weight drugs to nanosized particles. Encouraging data with CPP-conjugated oligonucleotides
have been obtained both in vitro and in vivo in animal models of diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Whether CPP-cargo
conjugates enter cells by direct translocation across the plasma membrane or by endocytosis remains controversial. In many
instances, however, endosomal escape appears as a major limitation of this new delivery strategy. 相似文献

Egg lipovitellins of Orchestia gammarella tested by electrophoresis on gels of different acrylamide concentrations, following the procedure of Hedrick and Smith (1968), display a migration pattern identical to that of proteins with molecular weights of congruent to 3.2 x 10(5) (lipovitellin I) and congruent to 5.5 x 10(5) (lipovitellin II) respectively. Since their molecular weight remains constant during embryogenesis, the changes of their relative mobility in disc gels indicates alterations in their ionic charges. 相似文献

Examination of the polyhedron protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis shows only one polypeptide with a molecular weight of 25,500 +/- 500 daltons, while that of virion proteins reveals 13 polypeptides. No antigenic community could be demonstrated between the polyhedron protein of the Baculovirus of T. paludosa and the polyhedron protein of several other Baculoviruses. 相似文献

The effect of heat shock on protein synthesis in three relatedDrosophila species belonging to theobscura group was analyzed on SDS-acrylamide gels. Four major heat shock proteins (hsps) were found in these species, in which synthesis reaches a maximum at 34°C. Although the higher molecular weight proteins are conserved, differences in size were found for the small hsps in these species. By means of in situ hybridization usingD. melanogaster probes for the small hsp genes, it was inferred that the small hsp genes of theobscura group species are clustered at the 27A locus in all three species. 相似文献

Summary The selectivity of vitellogenin absorption by the locust oocyte was examined by comparing the uptake of vitellogenin and a haemolymph protein of similar molecular weight (MHP). Though both proteins occurred in the haemolymph at approximately the same concentration there occurred a 500-fold difference in accumulation of vitellogenin over MHP during a 24-h period. Surprisingly MHP did not accumulate in the oocyte during vitellogenesis. 相似文献

The primary function of articular cartilage to act as a self-renewing, low frictional material that can distribute load efficiently at joints is critically dependent upon the composition and organisation of the extracellular matrix. Aggrecan is a major component of the extracellular matrix, forming high molecular weight aggregates necessary for the hydration of cartilage and to meet its weight-bearing mechanical demands. Aggregate assembly is a highly ordered process requiring the formation of a ternary complex between aggrecan, link protein and hyaluronan. There is extensive age-associated heterogeneity in the structure and molecular stoichiometry of these components in adult human articular cartilage, resulting in diverse populations of complexes with a range of stabilities that have implications for cartilage mechanobiology and integrity. Recent findings have demonstrated that aggrecan can form ligands with other matrix proteins. These findings provide new insights into mechanisms for aggregate assembly and functional protein networks in different cartilage compartments with maturation and aging. 相似文献

The selection of novel proteins or enzymes from random protein libraries has come to be a major objective in current biology,
and these enzymes should prove useful in various biological and biomedical fields. New technologies such as in vitro selection
of proteins in cell-free systems have high potential to realize evolu tionary molecular engineering of proteins. This review
highlights an application of insertional mutagenesis of proteins to evolutionary molecular engineering. Random sequence proteins
are inserted into the surface of a host enzyme which serves as a scaffold to display random protein libraries. Constraints
on random polypeptide conformations owing to the proximity of N- and C-termini on the scaffold would result in greater screening
efficiency of libraries. The scaffold enzyme is also used as a probe for monitoring the hill climbing of random sequence proteins
on a fitness landscape and navigating rapid protein folding in the sequence space.

Reversible tyrosine phosphorylation is a key posttranslational regulatory modification of proteins in all eukaryotic cells
in normal and pathological processes. Recently a pivotal janus-faced biological role of the low molecular weight protein tyrosine
phosphatase (LMWPTP) has become clear. On the one hand this enzyme is important in facilitating appropriate immune responses
towards infectious agents, on the other hand it mediates exaggerated inflammatory responses toward innocuous stimuli. The
evidence that LMWPTP plays a role in oncological processes has added a promising novel angle. In this review we shall focus
on the regulation of LMWPTP enzymatic activity of signaling pathways of different immunological cells, the relation between
genetic polymorphism of LMWPTP and predisposition to some type of inflammatory disorders and the contribution of this enzyme
to cancer cell onset, growth and migration. Therefore, the LMWPTP is an interesting target for pharmacological intervention,
thus modifying both inappropriate cellular immune responses and cancer cell aggressiveness.
