The related probes phenylisothiocyanate andp-sulfophenylisothiocyanate possess comparable reactivity with nucleophiles but are dissimilar in their solubility characteristics. The reagents are utilized to topologically characterize the sites of covalent interaction with the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. The hydrophobic probe phenylisothiocyanate binds covalently to the membrane-integrated protein. The extent of covalent interaction of this probe is reduced to a limited level of label incorporation by either preincubation withp-sulfophenylisothiocyanate or by exposing the labeled protein to alkaline reductive conditions. With respect to the chemical nature a dual interaction of phenylisothiocyanate is postulated. Phenylisothiocyanate modifies the Ca2+-ATPase hydrophobically. In addition, aqueous-exposed nucleophiles (cysteine thiols) interact with both arylisothiocyanates. Inhibition of the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity is effected by either probe. 相似文献

A method for attaching water insoluble peptides to amine resins for sequence determination is presented. Derivitization of peptides with 4-sulfophenylisothiocyanate (s-PITC) greatly increased coupling efficiency. Conditions for removal of N-terminal s-PITC were investigated to maximize subsequent degradation of the resin bound peptides. Degradation of a resin bound, 24 residue peptide with thioacetylthioglycolic acid is described. 相似文献

An impermeant benzodiazepine receptor ligand was prepared by derivatization of the aminobenzodiazepine 1012-S with 4-sulfophenylisothiocyanate. The resulting N-(4-sulfophenyl)-thiocarbamoyl derivative of 1012-S (SPTC-1012S) was purified by reverse-phase HPLC, and the predicted structure was verified by mass spectrometry. The apparent affinity of SPTC-1012S (IC50 = 9.8 +/- 2.9 nM) for displacement of [3H]flunitrazepam from intact chick cortical neurons was similar to that of 1012-S (IC50 = 4.0 +/- 0.3 nM). However, at concentrations from 0.1 to 10 microM, 1012-S was consistently more efficacious than SPTC-1012S, a finding indicating that 6-8% of the benzodiazepine receptor pool was not accessible to the impermeant compound. This inaccessible pool was eliminated by permeabilization of the cells with saponin or Triton X-100, a result suggesting that approximately 7% of neuronal benzodiazepine receptors are intracellular. Acute treatment (1-4 h at 37 degrees C) of neurons with 100 microM gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) or 100 nM clonazepam had little effect on the level of [3H]flunitrazepam binding but increased the proportion of intracellular receptors by 61 and 74%, respectively, compared with untreated controls. Similar treatment with 1 mM GABA increased the level of intracellular sites by 154-176%. The effect of GABA on receptor internalization was blocked by cotreatment with the GABAA receptor antagonist R 5135. The results suggest that SPTC-1012S can be used as a probe to study the internalization of the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex under normal conditions or following acute or chronic treatment with agonists. 相似文献

Complement component C3 prepared by the method of Tack & Prahl [(1976) Biochemistry 15, 4513-4521] was found to contain the following trace contaminants: C3b, haemolytically inactive C3 with intact alpha- and beta-chains (C3u) and degraded C3 (apparent mol.wt. 140000) with an intact beta-chain but with a fragmented alpha-chain. The proportion of C3u in the C3 is increased on standing and by freezing and thawing. These contaminants could be separated from each other and from native C3 by chromatography on sulphated Sepharose. They have been characterized by their susceptibility to C3b inactivator in the presence of beta 1H, their ability to be cleaved by C3 convertase and their ability to form alternative-pathway C3 convertase in solution. Incubation of C3b or C3u with beta 1H and C3b inactivator resulted in cleavage of the C3 species; the alpha'-chain of C3b was cleaved to fragments of apparent mol.wts. 67000 and 43000, the alpha-chain of C3u was cleaved to fragments of apparent mol.wt. 75000 and 43000. Native C3 and degraded C3 were unaffected by incubation with beta 1H and C3b inactivator. C3u, unlike C3, was not cleaved to C3b by the classical- or alternative-pathway C3 convertase in solution. When C3b or C3 was incubated with factors B and D, forming C3 convertase, the initial rate of factor-B cleavage was several order of magnitude lower in the presence of C3 than in the presence of C3b. The slow rate observed for C3 could be decreased by preincubation with beta 1H and C3b inactivator or by rechromatography of the C3. The degraded C3 did not support factor-B cleavage by factor D. 相似文献

The prodrugs (glyceride derivatives) 3a and 3b of diclofenac were prepared by reacting 1, 2, 3-trihydroxy propane-1,3-dipalmitate/stearate with the acid chloride of diclofenac as potential prodrugs to reduce the gastrointestinal toxicity associated with them. These prodrugs were evaluated for their ulcerogenicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. It was found that the prodrugs were significantly less irritating to the gastric mucosa as indicated by severity index of 0.86, 0.78 compared to 1.6 of diclofenac. The prodrugs 3a and 3b showed better anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity than the parent drugs. The hydrolysis of prodrugs 3a and 3b were studied at pH 3, 4, 5 and 7.4. The HPLC analysis showed that the prodrugs were resistant to hydrolysis at pH 3, 4 and 5 indicating that they did not hydrolyze in acidic environment, whereas at pH 7.4 the prodrugs readily released the parent drug in significant quantities. The plasma levels of diclofenac were also analyzed by HPLC in rats after single oral dose of the prodrugs. The results indicated that the parent drugs were readily released. The concentration of diclofenac during the study was found higher in animals treated with prodrugs 3a and 3b compared with animals treated with diclofenac. The concentration of diclofenac was found to be 38.59, 33.6 and 30.36 microg/ml in animals treated with prodrugs 3a, 3b and diclofenac respectively. In conclusion, all these studies indicated that the glyceride prodrugs of diclofenac might be considered as potential biolabile prodrugs of diclofenac. 相似文献

The regulatory mechanisms of the biosynthesis of in vivo poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate [PHB] and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-3HV)] of Alcaligenes eutrophus were investigated by using various transformants with enzyme activities that were modified through the transformation of cloned phbCAB genes. The biosynthesis rates of PHB and P(3HB-3HV) were controlled by beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, and especially by beta-ketothiolase condensing acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA. The contents of PHB and P(3HB-3HV) were controlled by PHB synthase, polymerizing 3-hydroxybutyrate to PHB or 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate to P(3HB-3HV). The molar fraction of 3-hydroxyvalerate in P(3HB-3HV) was also closely connected with PHB synthase. This may be due to the accelerated polymerization between 3-HB from glycolysis pathway and 3-HV converted from propionate supplied as precursor. Enforced beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase to PHB synthase tended to enlarge the size of the PHB and P(3HB-3HV) granules, however, higher activity ratio of PHB synthase to beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase than parent strain tended to induce the number of granules. 相似文献

The epimerization of ecdysone to 3-epiecdysone has been investigated in a dialysed cytosolic enzyme preparation from midgut of sixth instar Spodoptera littoralis larvae, with particular emphasis on establishing the intermediacy of 3-dehydroecdysone. Incubation of ecdysone with the dialysed cytosolic preparation furnished 3-dehydroecdysone as the only detectable product, the reaction being oxygen-dependent. The enzyme preparation catalysed reduction of 3-dehydroecdysone to 3-epiecdysone and ecdysone in the presence of NADH or NADPH. Whereas formation of 3-epiecdysone greatly predominated over that of ecdysone in the presence of NADPH, the converse applied when the cofactor was NADH. 3-Epiecdysone incubated with the enzyme preparation in the presence of various cofactors was not metabolized, indicating the irreversibility of the reduction of 3-dehydroecdysone to 3-epiecdysone and, hence, of the 3-epimerization process. The foregoing results, together with comparison of the metabolism of 3-dehydro[3H]ecdysone and [3H]ecdysone by the enzyme preparation in the presence of unlabelled ecdysone and NADPH, support the intermediacy of 3-dehydroecdysone in the 3-epimerization of ecdysone. 相似文献

The 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of rat liver which catalyzes the conversion of 5alpha-cholestan-3-one to 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol is localized mainly in the microsomal fraction. The enzyme required NADPH as hydrogen donor and differed from the known 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases of the C(19) series in being inactive in the presence of NADH. The microsomal preparations did not reduce the 3-keto groups of cholest-4-en-3-one, cholest-5-en-3-one, or 5beta-cholestan-3-one to the corresponding 3beta-hydroxy compounds. The conversion of 5alpha-cholestan-3-one to 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol was only slightly inhibited by the reaction product or by other monohydroxy steroids, but a strong inhibitory effect was noted with cholest-5-en-3-one, 5alpha-cholestane-3beta, 7alpha-diol and 5alpha-cholestan-7-on-3beta-ol. The microsomes, but not high speed supernatant solution, catalyzed the reverse of the cholestanone reductase reaction, namely the conversion of 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol to 5alpha-cholestan-3-one in the presence of oxygen and an NADP-generating system. The action of the microsomal preparations upon 5alpha-cholestan-3-one produced 5alpha-cholestan-3alpha-ol in addition to the 3beta-epimer. The 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase involved functioned with either NADH or NADPH as hydrogen donor. The ratio of 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol to 5alpha-cholestan-3alpha-ol formed from 5alpha-cholestan-3-one was approximately 10:1 and was independent of the sex of the animal from which the microsomes were prepared. 相似文献

The DNA-cro-repressor complex crystals have been obtained, five DNA fragments of the same nucleotide sequence and different length being used. The rotation function for crystals of complexes with hexamer (pGpT)3 . (pApC)3 and with octamer (pGpT)3 . (pApC)3 have been calculated. The order of cro-DNA complex crystals is shown to vary with DNA length, the crystal of the complex with octamer being the most perfect among all investigated complexes. 相似文献

The filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans, was found to metabolize the potent carcinogen, 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) to 1-hydroxy-3-MC, 2-hydroxy-3-MC, 1-keto-3-MC, 2-keto-3-MC and trans-9,10-dihydrodiols of 1-hydroxy-3-MC. In addition several unidentified derivatives of 3-MC were found. The metabolites formed were separated by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by comparison of retention times, absorbance, fluorescence and mass spectra with those of synthetic standards. Incubation of (±)-1-hydroxy-3-MC and (±)-2-hydroxy-3-MC with cells of C. elegans indicated that 1-hydroxy-3-MC is metabolized to form diasteromerically related trans-9,10-dihydrodiols of 1-hydroxy-3-MC. Experiments with 3-[14C]MC showed that over a 48-h period, 8.7% of the hydrocarbon was oxidized to organic solvent-soluble metabolic products. Most of the metabolites were polar products, some of which co-chromatographed with trans-9,10-dihydrodiols of 1-hydroxy-3-MC. The results show that C. elegans has the ability to oxidize 3-MC to metabolites that have been implicated as proximate carcinogenic forms of 3-MC in higher organisms. 相似文献

The human erythrocyte anion exchange protein, Band 3, was reacted with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) in cells to a stoichiometry of 5.3 mol NEM per mol Band 3, indicating that all NEM-reactive cysteines in Band 3 were labeled. Quantitatively NEM-blocked Band 3 was still able to bind to and be eluted by reducing agents from a mercurial affinity resin, [p-(chloromercuribenzamido)ethylene]amino-Sepharose. Reaction of NEM-blocked Band 3 with p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB) did not prevent binding to the resin due to exchange of pCMB for the immobilized mercurial. pCMB has been reported to inhibit water and urea permeation across the red cell membrane, and this has been attributed to reaction with a NEM-reactive sulfhydryl in Band 3. The interaction of Band 3 with the immobilized ligand directly demonstrates the reaction of NEM-blocked Band 3 with a mercurial and indicates that the NEM-unreactive, pCMB-reactive sulfhydryl residue is accessible to within approximately equal to 12 A (the distance from the solid support to the Hg) of the surface of the solubilized Band 3 protein. 相似文献

Methyl (RS)-5-bromo-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-pentanoate was prepared by bromination of methyl mevalonate and used for the formation of 4-carboxy-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl thioether derivatives by reaction with N-octanoyl-cysteamine, pantetheine, phosphopantetheine and coenzyme A. These thiols were also converted to the (RS)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl thioester derivatives. The thioesters formed with pantetheine and phosphopantetheine are substrates of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase; Km and V values are similar to those of the superior CoA-derivative. The corresponding thioether derivatives in which the oxygen next to sulfur of the substrates is replaced by hydrogen, are inhibitors of the reductase. The inhibition is competitive with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA varied, and noncompetitive with NADPH varied. For each of the corresponding pairs of thioester and thioether derivatives Km (substrate) is nearly identical with Ki (inhibitor). The specificity and stereospecificity of the inhibitor action are also shown. 相似文献

Summary The effect of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from pig brain on the protein synthesis in normal (3T3) and virus-transformed (SV40-3T3) cells was studied. The regulatory subunit was found to induce a specific synthesis of new proteins; the direct and first response of 3T3 cells to the introduction of the regulatory subunit being the synthesis of the protein P-15. The molecular weight of the protein was 15 000, the isoelectric point 6.3. The electrophoretic analysis of the cytosol of SV40-3T3 cells demonstrated a general derepression of the genome of the virus-transformed cells. A protein identical with P-15 was detected to be present in SV40-3T3 cells. The treatment of these cells with the regulatory subunit as well as with cAM P separately did not affect the synthesis of P-15, whereas the introduction of the cAM P-regulatory subunit complex caused a significant expression of the protein P-15. The data obtained indicate that the protein synthesis is dependent on the nuclear translocation of the regulatory subunit. 相似文献

Specificity of fatty acid acylation of cellular proteins 总被引:38,自引:0,他引:38
Labeling of the BC3H1 muscle cell line with [3H] palmitate and [3H]myristate results in the incorporation of these fatty acids into a broad spectrum of different proteins. The patterns of proteins which are labeled with palmitate and myristate are distinct, indicating a high degree of specificity of fatty acylation with respect to acyl chain length. The protein-linked [3H]palmitate is released by treatment with neutral hydroxylamine or by alkaline methanolysis consistent with a thioester linkage or a very reactive ester linkage. In contrast, only a small fraction of the [3H]myristate which is attached to proteins is released by treatment with hydroxylamine or alkaline methanolysis, suggesting that myristate is linked to proteins primarily through amide bonds. The specificity of fatty acid acylation has also been examined in 3T3 mouse fibroblasts and in PC12 cells, a rat pheochromacytoma cell line. In both cells, palmitate is primarily linked to proteins by a hydroxylamine-labile linkage while the major fraction of the myristic acid (60-70%) is linked to protein via amide linkage and the remainder via an ester linkage. Major differences were noted in the rate of fatty acid metabolism in these cells; in particular in 3T3 cells only 33% of the radioactivity incorporated from myristic acid into proteins is in the form of fatty acids. The remainder is presumably the result of conversion of label to amino acids. In BC3H1 cells, palmitate- and myristate-containing proteins also exhibit differences in subcellular localization. [3H]Palmitate-labeled proteins are found almost exclusively in membranes, whereas [3H]myristate-labeled proteins are distributed in both the soluble and membrane fractions. These results demonstrate that fatty acid acylation is a covalent modification common to a wide range of cellular proteins and is not restricted solely to membrane-associated proteins. The major acylated proteins in the various cell lines examined appear to be different, suggesting that the acylated proteins are concerned with specialized cell functions. The linkages through which fatty acids are attached to proteins also appear to be highly specific with respect to the fatty acid chain length. 相似文献

Synapsins are synaptic vesicle-associated phosphoproteins involved in synapse formation and regulation of neurotransmitter release. Recently, synapsin I has been found to bind the Src homology 3 (SH3) domains of Grb2 and c-Src. In this work we have analyzed the interactions between synapsins and an array of SH3 domains belonging to proteins involved in signal transduction, cytoskeleton assembly, or endocytosis. The binding of synapsin I was specific for a subset of SH3 domains. The highest binding was observed with SH3 domains of c-Src, phospholipase C-gamma, p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, full-length and NH(2)-terminal Grb2, whereas binding was moderate with the SH3 domains of amphiphysins I/II, Crk, alpha-spectrin, and NADPH oxidase factor p47(phox) and negligible with the SH3 domains of p21(ras) GTPase-activating protein and COOH-terminal Grb2. Distinct sites in the proline-rich COOH-terminal region of synapsin I were found to be involved in binding to the various SH3 domains. Synapsin II also interacted with SH3 domains with a partly distinct binding pattern. Phosphorylation of synapsin I in the COOH-terminal region by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II or mitogen-activated protein kinase modulated the binding to the SH3 domains of amphiphysins I/II, Crk, and alpha-spectrin without affecting the high affinity interactions. The SH3-mediated interaction of synapsin I with amphiphysins affected the ability of synapsin I to interact with actin and synaptic vesicles, and pools of synapsin I and amphiphysin I were shown to associate in isolated nerve terminals. The ability to bind multiple SH3 domains further implicates the synapsins in signal transduction and protein-protein interactions at the nerve terminal level. 相似文献
