When quiescent rat glioblasts were stimulated by glia maturation factor (GMF), their intrinsic Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of proteins, especially that of Mr 100 k protein, increased. The phosphorylation of Mr 100 k protein in the homogenate started rising 13 h (S phase) after GMF stimulation and reached the maximal level (8-fold greater than the control) at 26 h. Phosphorylation was also detected in intact cells by the use of [32P]orthophosphate. Calmodulin augmented and W-7 (calmodulin inhibitor) slightly inhibited the phosphorylation, suggesting that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase may partly be involved in phosphorylation of the Mr 100 k protein. Subcellular fractionation experiments revealed that both Mr 100 k protein and its kinase were localized exclusively in the cytosol. We also found marked phosphorylation of Mr 100 k protein in neural tumor cell lines, mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro2a and NAs-1) and glioma (C6 and 354A). Since the peptide maps of 32P-labeled peptides obtained by chemical cleavage from Mr 100 k protein of the cells were identical to those of glioblasts, the Mr 100 k proteins, regardless of cell origin, may be closely related in structure. Growth inhibitors, W-7 (50 μM), puromucin (2 μM), spongoadenosine (50 μM), diphenylhydantoin (0.3 mM), -sialosyl cholesterol (20 μg/ml) and protein kinase inhibitor, K252a (50 nM), lowered the phosphorylation of the Mr 100 k protein in the cell homogenate derived from glioblasts pretreated with the drugs for 24 h.
Mr 100 k protein of glioblasts and C6 cells was immunoprecipitated by anti-elongation factor-2 (EF-2) antiserum indicating an identity or similarity in structure between the protein and EF-2. These findings provide a possibility that cell growth may be brought about through a phosphorylation of Mr 100 k protein as one of the signal transduction processes subsequent to a mitogen stimulation. 相似文献

Using a modified charcoal method, we could detect a steroid-binding component in rat lung cytosol which specifically binds R5020, progesterone, and some of its natural derivatives. The concentration of binding sites is high (30–40 pmol/mg protein), the affinity is moderate, the Kd of the R5020 complex being 10−7 M. Proteolytic enzymes and sulfhydryl reagents destroyed the binding sites indicating the protein nature and the requirement for disulfide bonds. The protein sedimented in the 2 S range thus had an Mr of 10 000–15 000. Further characteristics are the extreme heat (30 min at 100°C) and acid (pH 1) stability. These properties and the fact that it was not detected in serum, distinguish this binding protein from receptors and specific serum steroid binders. 相似文献

Synaptic vesicles derived from the Torpedo electric organ and bovine cerebral cortex contain concanavalin A binding transmembrane glycoproteins of Mr 100,000 and 86,000, respectively. Their isolelectric points range from 5.5 to 6.0. On deglycosilation both glycoproteins yield identical products of Mr 62,000. The fully glycosilated and the deglycosilated proteins from both Torpedo and bovine brain are recognized by the monoclonal anti-SV2 antibody (Buckley and Kelly, J. Cell Biol. 100, 1284–1294, 1985) as well as by a monospecific IgG fraction raised against Torpedo vesicles and immunopurified against the bovine brain Mr 86,000 glycoprotein. This is shown by Western blotting as well as by immunoaffinity isolation with one antibody and immunodetection with the other antibody. Furthermore on immunohistochemical analysis of the Torpedo electric organ both antibodies recognize exactly the same nerve terminal ramifications. It is concluded that the glycoproteins of Mr 100,000 in Torpedo and of Mr 86,000 in bovine brain are corresponding proteins with different degrees of glycosilation. 相似文献

An esterase-producing Bacillus megaterium strain (20-1) was isolated from a soil sample collected in South Korea. The cloned gene showed that the esterase 20-1 composed of 310 amino acids corresponding to a molecular mass (Mr) of 34,638. Based on the Mr and the protein sequence, the esterase 20-1 belonged to the H lipase/esterase group. The optimum temperature and pH of the purified His-tagged enzyme were 20–35 °C and 8.0, respectively. The esterase 20-1 showed a ‘nonionic detergent-induced activation’ phenomenon, which was a detergent type- and concentration-dependent process. In comparison with the native enzyme, the Tween 80-treated enzyme had relatively a similar kcat value of 274 s−1 but a very low Km value of 0.037 mM for PNPC (C6), therefore, it showed a 14-fold increase in kcat/Km value. 相似文献

Conductance measurements on planar lipid bilayers demonstrate that CB1, a CNBr peptide of diphtheria toxin fragment B located in its middle region, possesses the unique property to destabilize the lipid bilayer organization. It is suggested that a segment of 25 amino acids in the N-terminal sequence of CB1 could be responsible for this effect. Its very low polarity, its predicted amphipathic helical structure and a helix length corresponding to the thickness of the hydrocarbon region of the lipid bilayer should specifically favor its insertion in the membrane. The existence of such a transverse lipid-associating domain could confer upon the molecule the properties leading to the anchoring of diphtheria toxin in the cytoplasmic membrane. 相似文献

The partitioning behavior of the pertechnetate anion was studied in aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formed from (NH4)2SO4 and four types of polymers – poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), Pluronic (a PEG/PPG block copolymer), and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Phase diagrams are reported for five (NH4)2SO4-polymer ABS systems including the polymers PEG-2000, PEG-3400, PEG-12 000, Pluronic-L64 (average molecular mass ≈ 2900), and PVP-K15 (average Mr≈10 000). Distribution ratios for the TcO4− anion in each of these ABS were investigated as a function of increasing salt concentration. In addition, the water-insoluble polymer PPG-2000 was studied. Pertechnetate partitions nearly quantitatively to the polymer-rich phase in each ABS, however, distribution ratios of near one were found for the PPG system. The relative ordering of the distribution ratios is PPGPVP-2000PEG-3400>PEG-12 000, exhibiting the expected increase in phase incompatibility with increasing polymer Mr. Investigation of pertechnetate partitioning in two additional ABS based on K3PO4 and NaOH with Pluronic-L64 revealed trends similar to those reported for PEG-2000; the distribution ratio (D) values increase in the order NaOH<(NH4)2SO43PO4. Despite the higher distribution ratios from Pluronic-L64 at lower concentrations than found for PEG, the limited useable range of salt concentrations available may limit the practical utilization of this polymer in ABS separations. 相似文献

Neuronal protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) most likely identical to ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme LI (UCH-LI) has been reported to be expressed almost exclusively in neuronal and neuroendocrine tissues. By two-dimensional (2D) immunoblotting, comigration and microsequencing of proteins recovered from 2D gels we have identified PGP 9.5/UCH-LI as polypeptide IEF SSP 6104 (Mr = 27000, PL = 5.49) in the comprehensive 2D gel cellular protein database of human embryonal lung MRC-5 fibroblasts [(1989) Electrophoresis 10, 76–115; (1990) Electrophoresis 11, 1072–1113]. This protein is expressed at high levels in quiescent and proliferating cultured normal fibroblasts and is strongly down-regulated (about 10 times) in their transformed counterparts. 相似文献

Purification of two allergens from horse (Equus caballus) sweat, Equ c2 and Equ c3, by means of salt-promoted chromatography on a “thiophilic” (T-gel) adsorbent is described. Immobilization of these proteins was found to be dependent on the presence of water-structure-forming salts where the ammonium sulphate concentration in the equilibration buffer was 2 M. Equ c2 showed higher affinity towards the thiophilic matrix than Equ c3. Their molecular mass (Mr) values established by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were for Equ c2 ≈17 000 and for Equ c3 ≈16 000, and both proteins showed a low isoelectric point of ≈3.8. Their allergenic properties were also investigated using sera from horse-sensitized patients, where it was demonstrated that these proteins exhibited an IgE antibody binding capacity. In this report we show the broad potential applications of thiophilic adsorption chromatography for the efficient purification of allergens. 相似文献

Boar seminal plasma proteins were separated by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-75 into five fractions (I–V). Serine proteinase inhibitors were found mainly in the protein fraction with relative molecular weight 5–25 kDa. Small amounts of these inhibitors were also found in the high molecular weight protein fraction (Mr>100 kDa). The protein fraction containing most of the proteinase inhibitory activity was further separated by RP HPLC. Isolated proteins were characterized by SDS electrophoresis and immunoblotting, N-terminal amino acid sequencing and by determination of the proteinase inhibitory activity. In the fraction containing proteinase inhibitors, also β-microseminoprotein (β-MSP), AQN 1 and lactoferrin were identified. The possible existence of complexes of protein components in the fraction with relative molecular weight 5–25 kDa was studied in detail using gel chromatographic separation on Sephadex G-50. A part of proteinase inhibitors with Mr 8 kDa was eluted together with AQN 1 spermadhesin. An interaction of isolated spermadhesin AQN 1 and proteinase inhibitor was shown. 相似文献

Clostridium difficile toxins A and B bind to eukaryotic target cells, are endocytosed and then deliver their N-terminal glucosyltransferase domain after processing into the cytosol. Whereas glucosyltransferase, autoprocessing and cell-binding domains are well defined, structural features involved in toxin delivery are unknown. Here, we studied structural determinants that define membrane insertion, pore formation and translocation of toxin B. Deletion analyses revealed that a large region, covering amino acids 1501-1753 of toxin B, is dispensable for cytotoxicity in Vero cells. Accordingly, a chimeric toxin, consisting of amino acids 1-1550 and the receptor-binding domain of diphtheria toxin, caused cytotoxic effects. A large N-terminal part of toxin B (amino acids 1-829) was not essential for pore formation (measured by (86) Rb(+) release in mammalian cells). Studies using C-terminal truncation fragments of toxin B showed that amino acid residues 1-990 were still capable of inducing fluorescence dye release from large lipid vesicles and led to increased electrical conductance in black lipid membranes. Thereby, we define the minimal pore-forming region of toxin B within amino acid residues 830 and 990. Moreover, we identify within this region a crucial role of the amino acid pair glutamate-970 and glutamate-976 in pore formation of toxin B. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of the cyanogen bromide peptides from the B fragment of diphtheria toxin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Homogeneous fragment B, obtained through nicking of diphtheria toxin with insoluble trypsin, was cleaved with cyanogen bromide in 70% formic acid. After citraconylation, the cleavage products were separated by gel filtration on Sephadex G--75 and purified by gel filtration, ion-exchange and thin-layer or paper chromatography. Six CNBr peptides were characterized, the composition of which account for the total amino acid content of fragment B. Their apparent molecular weights are: CB 1, 12 000; CB 2, 14 000; CB 3, 8000; CB 4a, 2400; CB 4b, 2200; CB 5, 2200. CB 4a is the NH2--terminal peptide; it contains the cysteine residue of the disulfide bridge linking fragment B to fragment A. CB 3 is the COOH--terminal peptide; it bears the disulfide bridge of fragment B. Characterization of two CNBr--derived overlapping peptides provided the positioning of CB 4b and CB 2 and allowed an alignment of the CNBr peptides of fragment B to be proposed. 相似文献

When the entire Us region of HSV-1 (Patton) was cloned as an EcoRI fragment in bacteriophage λgtWES, the BamHI B6B5 fragment was observed to vary in size among independent isolates [Umene and Enquist, Gene 13 (1981) 251–268]. This fragment polymorphism also occurred in DNA of HSV-1 single plaque isolates. We report here that this heterogeneity is due to variation in copy number of a 15-bp tandem repeat of sequence 5'-CCACTCCCCACCCAC-3', which apparently lies in an intergenic region of the HSV-1 DNA. 相似文献

Insecticidal proteins or delta-endotoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis are highly toxic to a wide range of agronomically important pests. The toxins are formed of three structural domains. The N-terminal domain is a bundle of eight alpha-helices and is implicated in pore formation in insect midgut epithelial membranes. All the delta-endotoxins share a common hydrophobic motif of eight amino acids in alpha-helix 7. A similar motif is also present in fragment B of diphtheria toxin (DT). Site-directed mutagenesis of Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin of B. thuringiensis was carried out to substitute its hydrophobic motif with that of DT fragment B. The mutant toxin was shown to be more toxic to the larvae of Helicoverpa armigera (cotton bollworm) than the wild-type toxin. Voltage clamp analysis with planar lipid bilayers revealed that the mutant toxin opens larger ion channels and induces higher levels of conductance than the wild-type toxin. 相似文献

2-Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (lipoamide) [OGDH or E1o: 2-oxoglutarate: lipoamide 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating and acceptor-succinating); EC 1.2.4.2] is a component enzyme of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Salmonella typhimurium gene encoding OGDH (ogdh) has been cloned in Escherichia coli. The libraries were screened for the expression of OGDH by complementing the gene in E. coli E1o-deficient mutant. Three positive clones (named Odh-3, Odh-5 and Odh-7) contained the identical 2.9 kb Sau3AI fragment as determined by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization, and expressed OGDH efficiently and constitutively using its own promoter in the heterologous host. This gene spans 2878 bases and contains an open reading frame of 2802 nucleotides encoding a mature protein of 927 amino acid residues (Mr=110,000). The comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned OGDH with E. coli OGDH shows 91% sequence identity. To localize the catalytic domain responsible for E. coli E1o-complementation, several deletion mutants lacking each portion of the ogdh gene were constructed using restriction enzymes. From the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis, a polypeptide which showed a complementation activity with an Mr of 30,000 was detected. The catalytic domain was localized in N-terminal region of the gene. Therefore, this is a first identification of the catalytic domain in bacterial ogdh gene. 相似文献

We have developed a system to study the interactions of diphtheria toxin with the cell surface using non-toxic mutant proteins synthesized in vitro. Proteins obtained by N-terminal deletions containing the whole B fragment bound strongly to cells. Deletions extending into the B fragment did not yield an autonomous binding domain. Loss of only the N-terminal 3 kd of the B fragment significantly impaired the ability to recognize the receptor. This, together with previous reports that the C-terminal end of the B fragment is required for binding, suggests that both ends of the B fragment are necessary for receptor recognition. Receptor bound diphtheria toxin undergoes a conformational change at pH less than 5.3 that results in translocation of the A fragment to the cytosol and the appearance of a B fragment-derived 25 kd polypeptide (P25) resistant to externally applied protease. Only the B fragment was required for generation of P25. N-terminal deletions of 130 amino acids or more resulted in proteins that gave rise to P25 at higher pH than full length toxin. Furthermore, a second protease-inaccessible polypeptide of 18 kd (P18) was observed. 相似文献

The Rickettsia prowazekii ATP/ADP translocase (Tlc) gene (tlc), previously cloned in Escherichia coli was localized to a 1.6-kb chromosomal fragment. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this fragment revealed an open reading frame of 1494 bp that could encode a hydrophobic protein of 497 amino acids (aa) with an Mr of 56 668. Analysis of the deduced aa sequence revealed that it contained twelve potential membrane-spanning regions. Comparisons between the deduced aa sequence of the R. prowazekii ATP/ADP Tlc and the sequences of mitochondrial (mt) Tic revealed no detectable homologies between the rickettsial and mt sequences. The major protein synthesized in E. coli minicells containing the rickettsial gene exhibited an Mr of approx. 34000. 相似文献

A 3 kb cDNA coding for rat liver S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) synthetase has been isolated. The Mr of the protein has been unequivocally determined by cDNA sequencing and enzyme purification on a thiopropyl-Sepharose column. The length of the mRNA 5′ non-coding region has been defined by primer-extension analysis. The rat liver cloned cDNA has been also used to detect S-adenosylmethionine synthetase mRNA in human liver. 相似文献

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase B (II) from wheat germ was modified by incubation with 4-[N-(β-hydroxyethyl)-N-methyl]benzaldehyde esters of AMP, ADP or ATP, followed by reduction with NaBH4. Reaction of the modified enzyme with [-32P]UTP in the presence of various DNA templates led to a highly selective affinity labelling of the subunit with Mr 140000 by covalently linked ApU. Labelling was inhibited by 1μg/ml -amanitin. 相似文献

The role of the hydrophobic region of diphtheria toxin B moiety in fragment A membrane traversal has been studied using crm45. This molecule, a serologically related diphtheria toxin protein, contains a normal enzymic fragment A and the hydrophobic domain of the toxin B chain but lacks a C-terminal polypeptide needed for specific cell binding. Relatively high concentrations of crm45 are required to inhibit protein synthesis in cells however, after the loss of its hydrophobic region crm45, which still contains an active fragment A, becomes almost non-toxic. It seems thus that the non-polar peptide found in crm45 or toxin facilitates the transport of the hydrophilic fragment A across the plasma membrane. 相似文献
