The main role of superoxide dismutases (SODs) is to eliminate reactive oxygen species in cells and tissues. Extracellular SOD (EC-SOD/SOD3) is a major superoxide scavenger and it is located on cell surfaces and primarily in extracellular matrix, and binds heparan sulfates by its carboxyterminal portion. Human EC-SOD gene is located on chromosome 4 and comprises three exons and two introns. The SOD3 coding sequence is entirely located within exon 3 and has missense polymorphisms. The Arg213Gly mutation affects the function of the carboxyterminus and correlates with several diseases. In this work, we explored genetic variants within EC-SOD gene of subjects living in southern Italy. Four new variations were detected: one was silent mutation, while three were missense variations that give rise to amino acid substitutions at position 131 (F>C), 160 (V>L) and 202 (R>L) in the mature product. The Arg213Gly variant was not found. The missense mutations in the DNA of assayed 2400 chromosomes had frequencies of 5.34% for the F131C variation, 0.25% for the V160L variation and 0.84% for the R202L variation. The effect of these alterations on the metabolic activity and diseases remains to be further explained.  相似文献

Background

Polymorphisms are associated with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), but no polymorphism specific to CTEPH but not PTE has yet been reported. Fibrin resistance is associated with CTEPH, but the mechanism has not been elucidated.

Methods

Polymorphisms were analyzed in 101 CTEPH subjects, 102 PTE subjects and 108 healthy controls by Massarray or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Plasmin-mediated cleavage of fibrin was characterized in 69 subjects (29 with CTEPH, 21 with PTE and 19 controls).

Results

Genotype frequencies and allele frequencies of fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala were significantly higher in CTEPH subjects than in controls and PTE subjects, while there was no difference between PTE subjects and controls. The odd ratio (OR 2.037) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI, 1.262–3.289) showed that Thr312Ala polymorphism was a risk factor for CTEPH but not PTE. Fibrin from CTEPH subjects was more resistant to lysis than that from PTE subjects and controls. Fibrin resistance was significantly different between Aα Thr312Ala (A/G) genotypes within CTEPH subjects, and the fibrin with GG genotype was more resistant than that with AA and AG genotype.

Conclusions

Fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala (A/G) polymorphism was associated with CTEPH, but not PTE, suggesting that the fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala polymorphism may act as a potential biomarker in identifying CTEPH from PTE. GG genotype polymorphism contributes to CTEPH through increasing fibrin resistance, implying that PTE subjects with fibrinogen Aα GG genotype may need long-term anticoagulation therapy.  相似文献

Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily which negatively regulates growth of muscle tissue. In this study, 103 cultivated Chlamys farreri individuals were screened for polymorphisms in the MSTN gene using PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods. Two mutations were found: A/G at position 327 in exon 2, which caused an amino acid change from Thr to Ala (Thr305Ala), and C/T at position 289 in exon 3, which caused an amino acid change from Cys to Arg (Cys422Arg). One way ANOVA of the SNPs and growth traits showed that genotype GG of primer M5 had significantly higher body mass, soft-tissue mass, adductor muscle mass, shell length, shell height, absolute growth rate of shell height and body mass than those of genotype AG and AA (P < 0.05). Genotype frequencies of genotype AA, AG and GG were 68.94%, 27.18% and 3.88%, respectively. The results present evidence that the C. farreri MSTN gene may be selected as a candidate gene for these growth traits.  相似文献

The amino acid sequences of both the alpha and beta subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin have been determined. The amino acid sequence of the alpha subunit is: Ala - Asp - Val - Gln - Asp - Cys - Pro - Glu - Cys-10 - Thr - Leu - Gln - Asp - Pro - Phe - Ser - Gln-20 - Pro - Gly - Ala - Pro - Ile - Leu - Gln - Cys - Met - Gly-30 - Cys - Cys - Phe - Ser - Arg - Ala - Tyr - Pro - Thr - Pro-40 - Leu - Arg - Ser - Lys - Lys - Thr - Met - Leu - Val - Gln-50 - Lys - Asn - Val - Thr - Ser - Glu - Ser - Thr - Cys - Cys-60 - Val - Ala - Lys - Ser - Thr - Asn - Arg - Val - Thr - Val-70 - Met - Gly - Gly - Phe - Lys - Val - Glu - Asn - His - Thr-80 - Ala - Cys - His - Cys - Ser - Thr - Cys - Tyr - Tyr - His-90 - Lys - Ser. Oligosaccharide side chains are attached at residues 52 and 78. In the preparations studied approximately 10 and 30% of the chains lack the initial 2 and 3 NH2-terminal residues, respectively. This sequence is almost identical with that of human luteinizing hormone (Sairam, M. R., Papkoff, H., and Li, C. H. (1972) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 48, 530-537). The amino acid sequence of the beta subunit is: Ser - Lys - Glu - Pro - Leu - Arg - Pro - Arg - Cys - Arg-10 - Pro - Ile - Asn - Ala - Thr - Leu - Ala - Val - Glu - Lys-20 - Glu - Gly - Cys - Pro - Val - Cys - Ile - Thr - Val - Asn-30 - Thr - Thr - Ile - Cys - Ala - Gly - Tyr - Cys - Pro - Thr-40 - Met - Thr - Arg - Val - Leu - Gln - Gly - Val - Leu - Pro-50 - Ala - Leu - Pro - Gin - Val - Val - Cys - Asn - Tyr - Arg-60 - Asp - Val - Arg - Phe - Glu - Ser - Ile - Arg - Leu - Pro-70 - Gly - Cys - Pro - Arg - Gly - Val - Asn - Pro - Val - Val-80 - Ser - Tyr - Ala - Val - Ala - Leu - Ser - Cys - Gln - Cys-90 - Ala - Leu - Cys - Arg - Arg - Ser - Thr - Thr - Asp - Cys-100 - Gly - Gly - Pro - Lys - Asp - His - Pro - Leu - Thr - Cys-110 - Asp - Asp - Pro - Arg - Phe - Gln - Asp - Ser - Ser - Ser - Ser - Lys - Ala - Pro - Pro - Pro - Ser - Leu - Pro - Ser-130 - Pro - Ser - Arg - Leu - Pro - Gly - Pro - Ser - Asp - Thr-140 - Pro - Ile - Leu - Pro - Gln. Oligosaccharide side chains are found at residues 13, 30, 121, 127, 132, and 138. The proteolytic enzyme, thrombin, which appears to cleave a limited number of arginyl bonds, proved helpful in the determination of the beta sequence.  相似文献

Genetic variations in DNA repair genes are thought to modify DNA repair capacity and may to be related to cancer susceptibility. However, epidemiological study results have been inconsistent. In this meta-analysis, we assessed 24 case–control studies of association between the X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln polymorphism and bladder cancer susceptibility in the general population and in Asian and non-Asian subgroups. A moderately significant association with bladder cancer risk was found for AG vs GG (OR = 1.110, 95% CI = 1.018–1.210). No significant associations with bladder cancer risk were found for AA vs GG (OR = 0.942, 95% CI = 0.823–1.077), the dominant model AA/AG vs GG (OR = 1.075, 95% CI = 0.990–1.167) and the recessive model AA vs AG/GG(OR = 0.890, 95% CI = 0.788–1.005). In subgroup analysis, a moderately significant association was also found for AG vs GG (OR = 1.091, 95% CI = 1.008–1.180) in non-Asian subgroup. The analysis suggests that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism might be a moderate risk factor for bladder cancer, especially in non-Asian population.  相似文献

Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a tetramer composed of either intact (Trp(1)-Ala(222)) or proteolytically cleaved (Trp(1)-Glu(209)) subunits. The latter form is processed intracellularly before secretion and lacks the C-terminal extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding region ((210)RKKRRRESECKAA(222)-COOH). We have previously suggested that the C-terminal processing of EC-SOD is either a one-step mechanism accomplished by a single intracellular endoproteolytic event cleaving the Glu(209)-Arg(210) peptide bond or a two-step mechanism involving two proteinases (Enghild, J. J., Thogersen, I. B., Oury, T. D., Valnickova, Z., Hojrup, P., and Crapo, J. D. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 14818-14822). In the latter case, an initial endoproteinase cleavage occurs somewhere in the region between Glu(209) and Glu(216). A carboxypeptidase specific for basic amino acid residues subsequently trims the remaining basic amino acid residues to Glu(209). A naturally occurring mutation of EC-SOD substituting Arg(213) for Gly enabled us to test these hypotheses. The mutation does not prevent proteolysis of the ECM-binding region but prevents a carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme from trimming residues beyond Gly(213). The R213G mutation is located in the ECM-binding region, and individuals carrying this mutation have an increased concentration of EC-SOD in the circulatory system. In this study, we purified the R213G EC-SOD variant from heterozygous or homozygous individuals and determined the C-terminal residue of the processed subunit to be Gly(213). This finding supports the two-step processing mechanism and indicates that the R213G mutation does not disturb the initial endoproteinase cleavage event but perturbs the subsequent trimming of the C terminus.  相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) play crucial roles in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and atherosclerosis and, therefore, may potentially affect the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism has shown to be a risk factor for many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to CAD in the Chinese population. Two polymorphisms, rs351855 (Gly388Arg) and rs641101, were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequencing in 687 CAD cases and 732 age-matched controls. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that frequencies of GA genotype, AA genotype, and A allele in rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism were significantly lower in CAD patients than in controls (odds ratio (OR)=0.78, 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 0.62-0.98, p=0.034; OR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.42-0.80, p=0.001; and OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.66-0.90, p=0.001, respectively). The rs641101 polymorphism did not show any correlation with CAD. Haplotype analysis revealed that rs351855 and rs641101 AG haplotype also had lower frequency in CAD patients (OR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.67-0.92, p=0.002). Our data suggested that the FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism and AG haplotype (rs351855 and rs641101) could act as protective factors against CAD in the Chinese population and indicated that a single gene polymorphism could have diverse functions in different diseases.  相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of the β-subunit of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase was determined. The β-subunit contained four methionine residues. Thus, five peptides were obtained after cleavage of the carboxymethylated β-subunit with cyanogen bromide, and were isolated on Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The amino acid sequences of the cyanogen bromide peptides were established by characterization of the peptides obtained after digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, or Staphylococcus aureus protease. The major sequencing techniques used were automated and manual Edman degradations. The five cyanogen bromide peptides were aligned by means of the amino acid sequences of the peptides containing methionine purified from the tryptic hydrolysate of the carboxymethylated β-subunit. The amino acid sequence of all the 238 residues was as follows: ProAlaGlnAspAsnSerArgPheValIleArgAsp ArgAsnTrpHis ProLysAlaLeuThrPro-Asp — TyrLysThrSerIleAlaArg SerProArgGlnAla LeuValSerIleProGlnSer — IleSerGluThrThrGly ProAsnPheSerHisLeu GlyPheGlyAlaHisAsp-His — AspLeuLeuLeuAsnPheAsn AsnGlyGlyLeu ProIleGlyGluArgIle-Ile — ValAlaGlyArgValValAsp GlnTyrGlyLysPro ValProAsnThrLeuValGluMet — TrpGlnAlaAsnAla GlyGlyArgTyrArg HisLysAsnAspArgTyrLeuAlaPro — LeuAspProAsn PheGlyGlyValGly ArgCysLeuThrAspSerAspGlyTyrTyr — SerPheArg ThrIleLysProGlyPro TyrProTrpArgAsnGlyProAsnAsp — TrpArgProAla HisIleHisPheGlyIle SerGlyProSerIleAlaThr-Lys — LeuIleThrGlnLeuTyr PheGluGlyAspPro LeuIleProMetCysProIleVal — LysSerIleAlaAsn ProGluAlaValGlnGln LeuIleAlaLysLeuAspMetAsnAsn — AlaAsnProMet AsnCysLeuAlaTyr ArgPheAspIleValLeuArgGlyGlnArgLysThrHis PheGluAsnCys.

A-1766G polymorphism, for the first time, has been found in the sequencing of pooled and individual genomic DNA of Korean subjects at the 5' flanking region of the UCP-1 gene. The effects of new polymorphism on body fat were elucidated among 387 Korean female subjects. It was shown that the genotypes AA, AG, and GG were consisted of 57.4%, 37.7%, and 4.9%, respectively, which was in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P=0.327). The frequency of major A allele was 0.762 and that of minor G allele was 0.238. It is found that the waist-hip ratio (WHR) (P=0.008), body fat mass (P=0.023), and percent body fat (P=0.014) are significantly higher in the AG/GG type compared to the AA type. When the subjects were analyzed using computerized tomography, there were significant increases in the AG/GG type compared to the AA type in the abdominal subcutaneous fat (P=0.015) and the abdominal visceral fat (P=0.013), respectively. A-1766G is approximately 2 kb downstream from the well-known A-3826G polymorphism, and no linkage between them was found (D'=0.929, R(2)=0.283). Three haplotypes (frequency >0.05) were examined from two polymorphisms and studied for their physiological effects. It was found that haplotype [GG] was significantly associated with increased body fat, while haplotype [GA] was associated with decreased body fat.  相似文献

The sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) of the pancreatic beta-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel plays a key role in glucose-induced insulin secretion. The A-allele of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 31 of the SUR1 gene (AGG-->AGA; Arg1273Arg) has previously been shown to be associated with hyperinsulinemia in nondiabetic Mexican-American subjects. Here, we have investigated the association of this SNP with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in French Caucasian subjects. We have observed an increased frequency of the A allele (37.1% vs 27.6%, P=0.0048; odds ratio 1.54), of the AA genotype (15.7% vs 9.8%; P=0.025), and of the combined AA/AG genotypes (58.5% vs 45.5%, P=0.0098; odds ratio 1.69) in patients compared with controls. This association is stronger in the subgroup of patients with age of diagnosis of diabetes equal to or less than 45 years: A allele 43.2% (P=0.0003 compared with controls; odds ratio 1.99), AA genotype 21.4% (P=0.0032), and combined AA/AG genotypes 65.1% (P=0.0022; odds ratio 2.23). Unexpectedly, the G allele is strongly associated with arterial hypertension in obese diabetic subjects (GG vs AA odds ratio 19.97). In conclusion, we have observed an association of an SNP in exon 31 of the SUR1 gene with T2DM. These data reinforce the hypothesis that insulin secretion defects in T2DM might be at least partially related to allelic variations in the SUR1 gene.  相似文献

Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) contributes only a small fraction to total SOD activity in the heart but is strategically located to scavenge free radicals in the extracellular compartment. EC-SOD expression is decreased in myocardial-infarction (MI)-induced heart failure, but whether EC-SOD can abrogate oxidative stress or modify MI-induced ventricular remodeling has not been previously studied. Consequently, the effects of EC-SOD gene deficiency (EC-SOD KO) on left ventricular (LV) oxidative stress, hypertrophy, and fibrosis were studied in EC-SOD KO and wild-type mice under control conditions, and at 4 and 8 weeks after permanent coronary artery ligation. EC-SOD KO had no detectable effect on LV function in normal hearts but caused small but significant increases of LV fibrosis. At 8 weeks after MI, EC-SOD KO mice developed significantly more LV hypertrophy (LV mass increased 1.64-fold in KO mice compared to 1.35-fold in wild-type mice; p<0.01) and more fibrosis and myocyte hypertrophy which was more prominent in the peri-infarct region than in the remote myocardium. EC-SOD KO mice had greater increases of nitrotyrosine in the peri-infarct myocardium, and this was associated with a greater reduction of LV ejection fraction, a greater decrease of sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticulum calcium2+ ATPase, and a greater increase of atrial natriuretic peptide in the peri-infarct zone compared to wild-type mice. EC-SOD KO was associated with more increases of phosphorylated p38 (p-p38(Thr180/Tyr182)), p42/44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-Erk(Thr202/Tyr204)), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK(Thr183/Tyr185)) both under control conditions and after MI, indicating that EC-SOD KO increases activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. These findings demonstrate that EC-SOD plays an important role in protecting the heart against oxidative stress and infarction-induced ventricular hypertrophy.  相似文献

The structure of the N-terminal domain of enzyme I complexed with histidine-containing protein (HPr) has been described by multi-dimensional NMR. Residues in HPr involved in binding were identified by intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (Garrett et al. 1999). Most of these residues have been mutated, and the effect of these changes on binding has been assessed by enzyme I kinetic measurement. Changes to Thr16, Arg17, Lys24, Lys27, Ser46, Leu47, Lys49, Gln51, and Thr56 result in increases to the HPr Km of enzyme I, which would be compatible with changes in binding. Except for mutations to His15 and Arg17, very little or no change in Vmax was found. Alanine replacements for Gln21, Thr52, and Leu55 have no effect. The mutation Lys40Ala also affects HPr Km of enzyme I; residue 40 is contiguous with the enzyme I binding site in HPr and was not identified by NMR. The mutations leading to a reduction in the size of the side chain (Thr16Ala, Arg17Gly, Lys24Ala, Lys27Ala, and Lys49Gly) caused relatively large increases in Km (>5-fold) indicating these residues have more significant roles in binding to enzyme I. Acidic replacement at Ser46 caused very large increases (>100-fold), while Gln51Glu gave a 3-fold increase in Km. While these results essentially concur with the identification of residues by the NMR experiments, the apparent importance of individual residues as determined by mutation and kinetic measurement does not necessarily correspond with the number of contacts derived from observed intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects.  相似文献

Tryptic peptides which account for all five cysteinyl residues in ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum have been purified and sequenced. Collectively, these peptides contain 94 of the approximately 500 amino acid residues per molecule of subunit. Due to one incomplete cleavage at a site for trypsin and two incomplete chymotryptic-like cleavages, eight major radioactive peptides (rather than five as predicted) were recovered from tryptic digests of the enzyme that had been carboxymethylated with [3H]iodoacetate. The established sequences are: GlyTyrThrAlaPheValHisCys1Lys TyrValAspLeuAlaLeuLysGluGluAspLeuIleAla GlyGlyGluHisValLeuCys1AlaTyr AlaGlyTyrGlyTyrValAlaThrAlaAlaHisPheAla AlaGluSerSerThrGlyThrAspValGluValCys1 ThrThrAsxAsxPheThrArg AlaCys1ThrProIleIleSerGlyGlyMetAsnAla LeuArg ProPheAlaGluAlaCys1HisAlaPheTrpLeuGly GlyAsnPheIleLys In these peptides, radioactive carboxymethylcysteinyl residues are denoted with asterisks and the sites of incomplete cleavage with vertical wavy lines. None of the peptides appear homologous with either of two cysteinyl-containing, active-site peptides previously isolated from spinach ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.  相似文献

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) characterized by an autosomal dominant inheritance, onset usually before 25 years of age and a primary defect in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, Glucokinase (GCK) acts as a glucose sensor in the pancreatic beta cell and regulates insulin secretion. The mutation in the gene encoding GCK results in enzyme inactivation cause MODY2. Functional studies of naturally occurring GCK mutations associated with hyperglycaemia provide further insight into the biochemical basis of glucose sensor regulation. In this study 100 diabetic Jordanian patients with MODY2 phenotype and 150 Normal control subjects were screened for the presence of GCK gene mutations including the missense mutations at position Thr228Ala in exon 7, Gly299Arg in exon 8 and nonsense mutation Ser383Ter in exon 9, utilizing polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. The results shows no Thr228Ala, Gly299Arg and Ser383Ter mutations were detected in both groups, which was differ from the results obtained for Italian and Caucasian from the Oxford region in UK MODY2 patients. Our data indicated that the previously studied mutations in Italian and Caucasian patients in the GCK gene are not common in MODY Jordanian population, suggesting a racial difference can be found in the frequency of the GCK polymorphism.  相似文献

The aim of this meta-analysis was to summarize results on the association of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) promoter -2518 A/G polymorphism with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility. We searches all the publications about the association between MCP-1 promoter -2518 A/G polymorphism and SLE from Pubmed, Elsevier Science Direct, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. The meta-analysis was performed for genotypes AA verse GG, AA+AG verse GG, AA verse AG+GG, and A allele verse G allele in a fixed/random effect model. A total of 14 studies (2,333 cases and 2,391 controls) were included in the meta-analysis. When all groups were pooled, we had not observed significant association between A allele and G allele (OR = 0.94, 95 %CI = 0.79-1.12, P = 0.50). When analysis were restricted to more ethnically homogeneous populations, the similar results were found in European population and Asian population (OR = 1.05, 95 %CI = 0.75-1.46, P = 0.80; OR = 1.00, 95 %CI = 0.86-1.17, P = 0.99). However, we had not detected a significant association between MCP-1 promoter -2518 A/G polymorphism and SLE when examining the genotypes AA verse GG, AA+AG verse GG, AA verse AG+GG. The meta-analysis did not demonstrate the association between MCP-1 promoter -2518 A/G polymorphism and SLE.  相似文献

探讨细胞色素P450 19 (CYP19) 基因Val80多态性及护骨素(OPG) 基因A163G多态性与绝经后女性骨密度 (BMD) 的关系。随机选择居住在重庆的绝经后女性200例, 采用多聚酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性法检测Val80及A163G多态性, 采用Norland公司XR-46系列双能X线骨密度仪测量股骨近端及腰椎BMD。 200名绝经后女性中Val80基因型GG、GA及AA的频率分别为19.5%、44.5%及36.0%; A163G基因型GG、GC 及CC的频率分别为: 13.0%, 42.0%及45.0%; 基因型频率分布均符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡 (P>0.05)。协方差分析及多元逐步回归分析显示CYP19基因第3外显子Val80多态性与绝经后女性BMD无相关性 (P>0.05)。除大转子外, A163G位点AG/GG/AG+GG基因型者股骨颈、Ward’s三角及腰椎BMD均较AA基因型者低, A163G基因型与股骨颈、Ward’s三角及腰椎BMD有相关性 (P<0.05)。OPG基因启动子区A163G多态性分布存在明显的种族差异, 且与绝经后女性BMD有一定关联, AA型对BMD具有一定的保护作用, G等位基因是BMD降低的危险因素。  相似文献

Digestion of the native pig kidney fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase tetramer with subtilisin cleaves each of the 35,000-molecular-weight subunits to yield two major fragments: the S-subunit (Mr ca. 29,000), and the S-peptide (Mr 6,500). The following amino acid sequence has been determined for the S peptide: AcThrAspGlnAlaAlaPheAspThrAsnIle Val ThrLeuThrArgPheValMetGluGlnGlyArgLysAla ArgGlyThrGlyGlu MetThrGlnLeuLeuAsnSerLeuCysThrAlaValLys AlaIleSerThrAla z.sbnd;ValArgLysAlaGlyIleAlaHisLeuTyrGlyIleAla. Comparison of this sequence with that of the NH2-terminal 60 residues of the enzyme from rabbit liver (El-Dorry et al., 1977, Arch. Biochem. Biophys.182, 763) reveals strong homology with 52 identical positions and absolute identity in sequence from residues 26 to 60.Although subtilisin cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase results in diminished sensitivity of the enzyme to AMP inhibition, we have found no AMP inhibition-related amino acid residues in the sequenced S-peptide. The loss of AMP sensitivity that occurs upon pyridoxal-P modification of the enzyme does not result in the modification of lysyl residues in the S-peptide. Neither photoaffinity labeling of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase with 8-azido-AMP nor modification of the cysteinyl residue proximal to the AMP allosteric site resulted in the modification of residues located in the NH2-terminal 60-amino acid peptide.  相似文献

The biotin-containing tryptic peptides of pyruvate carboxylase from sheep, chicken, and turkey liver mitochondria have been isolated and their primary structures determined. The amino acid sequences of the 19 residue peptides from chicken and turkey are identical and share a common sequence of 14 residues around biocytin with the 24-residue peptide isolated from sheep. The sequences obtained were: residue 1 → 11 Avian: Gly Ala Pro Leu Val Leu Ser Ala Met Biocytin Met Sheep: Gly Gln Pro Leu Val Leu Ser Ala Met Biocytin Met residues 12 → 19 or 24 Avian: Glu Thr Val Val Thr Ala Pro Arg Sheep: Glu Thr Val Val Thr Ser Pro Val Thr Glu Gly Val Arg A sensitive radiochemical assay for biotin was developed based on the tight binding of biotin by avidin. The ability of zinc sulfate to precipitate, without dissociating, the avidin-biotin complex provided a convenient procedure for separating free and bound biotin, and hence, for back-titrating a standard amount of avidin with [14C]biotin.  相似文献
