  • 1.1. Ovine placental lactogen was modified by reaction with o-nitrophenylsulfenyl chloride. Fluorescence measurements indicated that one of the two tryptophan residues of the molecule had reacted. Besides, there was some reagent not covalently bound.
  • 2.2. The reagent was covalently bound to Trp-150. No evidence of modification of Trp-90 was found.
  • 3.3. Binding capacity to lactogenic as well as somatogenic receptors was diminished but not abolished upon modification, indicating that absolute molecular integrity of Trp-150 is not required for binding.
  • 4.4. This behavior is similar to that of the tryptophan residues of ovine prolactin.

  • 1.1. Malic enzyme purified from the fruit tissue of Mangifera indica was irradiated in dilute solution and the effect of γ-irradiation was investigated.
  • 2.2. The activity of the enzyme decreased exponentially as a function of the applied dose under all conditions investigated. The inactivation yield (Go-value) in neutral solution and in air was 0.069.
  • 3.3. The role of the radicals produced by water radiolysis in the inactivation of the enzyme was investigated by using different gas atmospheres and selective free radical-anions. The hydrogen atom and the hydrated electron (reducing species) were found to be important in the enzyme inactivation; as well as the possible destruction of cysteine and tryptophan residues.
  • 4.4. The irradiated enzyme appears to adopt a more compact conformation as reflected in a slightly lower Mr, Stokes-radius and diffusion coefficient.
  • 5.5. γ-Radiation does not lead to any heterogeneity in the charge and size properties of the enzyme and the pI and the Mr of the subunits were unaffected.
  • 6.6. Some differences in the amino acid composition of the non-irradiated and irradiated enzyme were observed but specific amino acid residues were not preferentially destroyed.
  • 7.7. These changes were also reflected in the ultraviolet spectrum of the enzyme which shifted to lower values.
  • 8.8. The major cause of inactivation seem to be a change in conformation caused by chemical modification of amino acid side chains.

  • 4.4. When the inhibitor was present in the reaction mixture together with S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine (AdoHcy), which is a competitive inhibitor for AdoMet, the extent of inhibition exceeded that exerted by each individual inhibitor alone, suggesting that the sites of the inhibitors on the enzyme molecule are different.
  • 5.5. Almost a stoichiometric relationship exists between the enzyme and the inhibitor molecule, the ratio being approx one.

  • 1.1. AMP deaminase from Palaemon serratus tail muscle was partially purified by chromatography on cellulose phosphate.
  • 2.2. Muscle homogenates expressed very low enzyme activities and the presence of ATP was necessary to detect AMP deaminase. The specific activity and substrate affinity of the purified enzyme were also very low.

  • 1.1. Preparative Isoelectric focusing (PIEF) was used to isolate hydroxylasic and dehydrogenasic activities, at different pI.

  • 4.4. The fraction at pI 4.1 and 4.3 reacted with both l-DOPA and tyrosine as substrate, showing dehydrogenase and hydroxylase activity.

  • 1.1. An ld-dipeptidase (EC 3.4.13.-) that hydrolyzes the unrelated dipeptides l-Ala-d-Glu (sp. act. 0.85 μmol·min−1·mg−1) and l-Lys-d-Ala (sp. act. 11 μmol · min−1·mg−1) has been purified 250-fold from the sporulation medium of Bacillus sphaericus with a 4% recovery of lytic activity.
  • 2.2. Throughout the purification steps, followed with both substrates, the enzyme peaks of activities were congruent and the ratios of activities were constant. Both activities were activated 50-fold by cobalt. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the final preparation showed the two enzyme activities to be coincident. The data are consistent with those activities being due to a single enzyme.
  • 3.3. Sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme showed a single protein band (Mr 38,000).
  • 4.4. This dipeptidase hydrolyzes some other ld-dipeptides with a free amino and carboxyl group. Although dipeptides having a di-amino acid as the amino terminus are the best of the substrates tested, the hydrolysis occurs also when neutral amino acids are N-terminal. The activity is higher with neutral C-terminal residues such as Gly or d-Ala than with a di-acid residue such as d-Glu.
  • 5.5. This enzyme may have a function in peptidoglycan metabolism.

  • 1.1. Sialyltransferase released into the medium during the incubation of rat jejunal slices in serum-free buffer, was susceptible to proteolytic degradation. Heat inactivated horse serum or its antiproteolytic heparin-binding fraction was found to be necessary in determining the activity of sialyltransferase released (Nadkarni et al., 1991).
  • 2.2. In the present study, we have shown that heat inactivated rat serum (HRS) or its antiproteolytic heparin-binding fraction (HBF) had a role in determining the sialyltransferase activity released during jejunal slice incubations.
  • 3.3. Galactosyltransferase was also released during incubations, but was not proteolytically degraded and the presence of HRS or HBF in incubations did not alter the levels of galactosyltransferase activity released.
  • 4.4. Trypsin activity in serum-free incubation medium was higher compared to medium containing HRS.
  • 5.5. Addition of serum-free medium obtained from 4 hr incubations of the jejunal slices, to medium obtained from parallel incubations done in the presence of HRS, caused inhibition of sialyl- but not galactosyltransferase activity.
  • 6.6. In jejunal homogenates stored at −20°C, sialyltransferase activity was decreased during 0–45 days of storage, whereas galactosyltransferase activity remained fairly stable for upto 56 days.
  • 7.7. Inclusion of HRS or HBF in homogenates resulted in higher sialyl- but not galactosyltransferase activity compared to serum-free homogenate samples.
  • 8.8. The results suggest that HRS or its antiproteolytic heparin-binding proteins have a role in determining the sialyltransferase activity released from the jejunal slices. In contrast galactosyltransferase released was not susceptible to proteolysis, and HRS or HBF was not required to express its activity.

  • 1.1. Purified thyroidal NAD+ glycohydrolase has been subjected to the action of a number of group specific reagents in order to gain information concerning its mode of action.
  • 2.2. Modification of histidyl residues with diethylpyrocarbonate strongly suppresses the NAD+ glycohydrolase activity. Inactivation with this reagent can be reversed to some extent by subsequent treatment with hydroxylamine.
  • 3.3. NAD+ and ADP-ribose partially protect against inactivation with similar efficiencies.
  • 4.4. The incomplete reactivation with hydroxylamine after diethylpyrocarbonate treatment and the selective inactivation by 2,4-pentanedione indicates that apart from one or more essential histidyl residue(s) also lysyl residues are important for activity. NAD+ and to a smaller extent ADP-ribose again protect against inactivation by 2,4-pentanedione.
  • 5.5. The sensitivity of the enzyme towards N-ethyl-5-phenyl-isooxazolium-3'-sulfonate further points to the importance of carboxylate containing side chains.
