An ad hoc bioconjugation/fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay has been designed to spectroscopically monitor the quaternary state of human thymidylate synthase dimeric protein. The approach enables the chemoselective engineering of allosteric residues while preserving the native protein functions through reversible masking of residues within the catalytic site, and is therefore suitable for activity/oligomerization dual assay screenings. It is applied to tag the two subunits of human thymidylate synthase at cysteines 43 and 43′ with an excitation energy donor/acceptor pair. The dimer–monomer equilibrium of the enzyme is then characterized through steady‐state fluorescence determination of the intersubunit resonance energy transfer efficiency. 相似文献

Two lowM
r phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases have been isolated from rat liver. The enzymes were previously known as lowM
r acid phosphatases, but several recent studies have demonstrated that this family of enzymes possesses specific phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase activity. We determined the complete amino acid sequences of the two isoenzymes and named them AcP1 and AcP2. Both consist of 157 amino acid residues, are acetylated at the NH2-terminus, and have His as the COOH-terminus. The molecular weights calculated from the sequences are 18,062 for AcP1 and 17,848 for AcP2. They are homologous except in the 40–73 zone, where about 50% of residues are different. This fact suggests that the two isoenzymes are produced by an alternative splicing mechanism. There is no homology between these two isoenzymes and the receptor-like phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases LAR, CD45, human placenta PTPase 1B, and rat brain PTPase-1. AcP1 and AcP2 are also distinct from rat liver PTPase-1 and PTPase-2, since these last enzymes have higher molecular weights. AcP1 differs from AcP2 with respect to (1) substrate affinity and (2) its sensitivity to activators and inhibitors, thus suggesting a their different physiological function. 相似文献

alpha-chymotrypsin is taken as a model protein to investigate three aspects of the protein extraction by reverse micelles: (1) the comparison between the two forward transfer techniques, i.e., the liquid-liquid and the solid state-liquid transfer; (2)the back-transfer, i.e., the capability of the protein to be recovered from the micellar solution; and (3) the maintainance of the enzyme activity at the end of the extraction cycle. Concerning the forward transfer from the liquid phase, we study first the effect of salt initially present in the aqueous phase on the equilibrium concentration of the extracted species; further, we study the forward protein extraction from the solid state, and the effect of pH, salt, and protein concentration on the transfer efficiency. Concerning the back transfer, we find the somewhat surprising result, that the percentage of protein back-extraction depends on the type and concentration of salt used for the forward transfer. Preliminary data concerning an alternative method for the back-transfer using silica gel to liberate the protein from the micellar environment, are presented. Finally, it is found that the enzyme activity depends again on the type and concentration of salt used for the forward transfer. 相似文献

Starting from a orexin 1 receptor selective antagonist 4,4-disubstituted piperidine series a novel potent 5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane dual orexin 1 and orexin 2 receptor antagonist class has been discovered. SAR and Pharmacokinetic optimization of this series is herein disclosed. Lead compound 15 exhibits potent activity against orexin 1 and orexin 2 receptors along with low cytochrome P450 inhibition potential, good brain penetration and oral bioavailability in rats. 相似文献

On April 18, 2007 an international meeting on Pathophysiology of Ageing, Longevity and Age-Related Diseases was held in Palermo,
Italy. Several interesting topics on Cancer, Immunosenescence, Age-related inflammatory diseases and longevity were discussed.
In this report we summarize the most important issues. However, ageing must be considered an unavoidable end point of the
life history of each individual, nevertheless the increasing knowledge on ageing mechanisms, allows envisaging many different
strategies to cope with, and delay it. So, a better understanding of pathophysiology of ageing and age-related disease is
essential for giving everybody a reasonable chance for living a long and enjoyable final part of the life. 相似文献

Thiol-disulfides cause a time- and a concentration-dependent inactivation of the low-M(r) phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (PTP). We demonstrated that six of eight enzyme cysteines have similar reactivity against 5,5'-dithiobis(nitrobenzoic acid): Their thiolation is accompanied by enzyme inactivation. The inactivation of the enzyme by glutathione disulfide also is accompanied by the thiolation of six cysteine residues. Inorganic phosphate, a competitive enzyme inhibitor, protects the enzyme from inactivation, indicating that the inactivation results from thiolation of the essential active-site cysteine of the enzyme. The inactivation is reversed by dithiothreitol. Although all PTPs have three-dimensional active-site structures very similar to each other and also have identical reaction mechanisms, the thiol group contained in the active site of low-M(r) PTP seems to have lower reactivity than that of other PTPs in the protein thiolation reaction. 相似文献

Adenyl cyclase (AC) plays a pivotal role in cell signaling. The AC system of bivalves has received little attention so far, and our study has been addressed to the characterization of AC properties in the gills of T. philippinarum. The enzyme showed a Km value of 0.77 mM for ATP in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+; in the absence of agonists, it was poorly affected by GTP, while it was stimulated by GTPgammaS and GppNHp up to 14-fold and 4-fold, respectively. Similarly to other invertebrates, the enzyme activity was scarcely stimulated by forskolin. The receptor agonist serotonin (5-HT) significantly stimulated the AC activity, and the pharmacological profile of the 5-HT receptor/s was as follows: (+)butaclamol > dihydroergocryptine > methysergide > prazosin > yohimbine. The AC activity was assessed in vitro in the presence of tributyltin chloride and HgCl2, which reduced the AC activity only at the highest dose tested (10-100 microM). Our data indicate the presence of a membrane-bound AC in gill membranes of T. philippinarum, coupled to Gs proteins and to a specific class of 5-HT receptors. Such receptors show a pharmacological profile slightly different from that reported for 5-HT invertebrate receptors cloned so far. 相似文献
