A brief historical account on the origin and meaning of the word "allosteric" is presented. The word was coined in an attempt to qualify the chemical mechanism of the feedback inhibition of bacterial enzymes by regulatory ligands. The data lead to the proposal that, at variance with the classical mechanism of mutual exclusion by steric hindrance, the inhibition takes place through an "allosteric" interaction between "no overlapping", stereospecifically distinct, sites for substrate and feedback inhibitor, mediated by a discrete reversible alteration of the molecular structure of the protein. 相似文献

Abstract: Antibodies to the phosphoprotein B-50 of rat brain were used to trace cross-reacting brain proteins of vertebrates. With the SDS-gel-immunoperoxidase method, a cross-reacting protein (CP) of apparent Mr 53,000 was demonstrated in the homogenate and the synaptic plasma membrane fraction of bovine brain. Sequence 1–24 of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH1-24 ) (10−5 M and 10−4 M ) inhibited endogenous phosphorylation of CP in synaptic plasma membranes. The protein was partially characterized and purified to homogeneity from bovine brain by procedures previously described for rat B-50. CP was enriched in ammonium sulfate precipitated protein (ASP) fractions and phosphorylated by an endogenous protein kinase. Two-dimensional gel analysis of bovine and rat ASP showed that the cross-reacting protein had an isoelectric point less acidic than B-50. Limited proteolysis by Staphylococcus aureus protease yielded a "peptide map" analogous to B-50. Two major fragments of Mr 30,000 and 17,000 were produced. In addition, CP exhibited other similarities to rat B-50: phosphorylation by rat brain protein kinase C, microheterogeneity observed after isoelectric focusing, and possibly degradation by endogenous proteolysis. Cross-reaction of proteins in brain homogenates of other mammalian species and of chicken was demonstrated: the Mr of the proteins ranged from 47,000 to 53,000. We conclude that (1) the cross-reacting bovine protein is a "B-50 protein," and (2) the M r of the "B-50 protein" varies from species to species. 相似文献

Phages exerting a specific action on Bacillus anthracis were isolated from mitomycin C-induced concentrated lysates of 5 Bacillus cereus strains producing megacin A (phospholipase A). In electron micrographs the phages closely resembled the anthrax-specific, lipid containing phage AP 50 isolated earlier from soil sample. The phages were similar to AP 50 also in their antigenic and chemical structure, host range and sensitivity to organic solvents, detergents and caesium chloride. The DNA character of AP 50 nucleic acid was shown by agarose gel electrophoresis. AP 50 and related phages seem to represent a separate group of phages acting on Bacillus strains. 相似文献

Connexin 50 mutation in a family with congenital "zonular nuclear" pulverulent cataract of Pakistani origin 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Inherited cataract is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease that most often presents as a congenital autosomal
dominant trait. Here we report linkage of a three-generation family of Pakistani origin with autosomal dominant cataract "zonular
nuclear" pulverulent type (CZNP) on chromosome 1q21.1. Genome wide-linkage analysis excluded all the known cataract loci except
on chromosome 1q. Significantly positive 2-point lod score values (Z=3.01 at θ=0) were obtained for markers D1S305 and D1S2721, which are known to flank the gene for connexin 50 (Cx50) or gap
junction protein alpha-8 (Gja8). Previously a mutation in this gene has been reported in a British family with zonular pulverulent cataract (CZP).Here we
describe a second mutation (E48K) in connexin 50 that confirms the involvement of this gene in cataractogenesis.

The patterns of subtilisin molecular forms of streptomycin-resistant (Strr) and streptomycin-dependent (Strd) mutants of Bacillus subtilis A-50, as well as the revertants of Strd to streptomycin-independence (Str1) were studied. Strr mutants had different quantitative pattern of the same subtilisin molecular forms as compared with the initial strain A-50 (the forms with Rf 0.08, 0.16 and 0.3). In comparison with the initial strain A-50, Strd mutants and Str1 revertants revealed three additional forms of the active enzyme with Rf 0.02, 0.5 and 0.7 and the molecular weights less than 35,000, 28,000 and 20,000 respectively. It was suggested that the rate and character of the enzyme secretion of the degree of its post-translational modifications might result in the different pattern of subtilisin molecular forms produced by these streptomycin mutants. 相似文献

Reversal of transposase gene orientation with respect to the nonidentical ends of IS50 strongly decreased IS50 transposition in both Dam- and Dam+ hosts. In either orientation, IS50 transposase expression was unaffected. These effects were independent of the surrounding DNA context. This shows that the efficiency of IS50 transposition is dependent on transposase gene orientation. The transposition frequencies of transposons utilizing inverted IS50 inside ends (IE), IE-IE transposons, were lower than either outside end (OE)-IE or OE-OE transposons. 相似文献

Information is given concerning two standard buffer solutions suitable as pH references in 30, 40, and 50 mass% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/H2O mixed solvents at subzero temperatures from -20 to 0 degrees C, with the intention of establishing a pH (designated pH*) scale. The two buffers selected were the ampholytes N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid ("bes") and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine ("tricine"), and the reference standard consisted of equal molal quantities of the buffer and its respective sodium salt. The assignment of pH* values was based on measurements of the emf of cells without liquid junction of the type: Pt;H2(g,l atm) /Bes, Na Besate, NaCl / AgCl;Ag and Pt;H2(g,l atm) /Tricine, Na Tricinate, NaCl /AgCl;Ag and the pH* was derived from a determination of K2, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation process (Buffer)+/- in equilibrium with(Buffer)- + H+. 相似文献

Studies on poly(L-lysine50, L-tyrosine50)-DNA interaction 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Interaction between poly(Lys50, Tyr50) and DNA has been studied by absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal denaturation in 0.001M Tris, pH 6.8. The binding of this copolypeptide to DNA results in an absorbance enhancement and fluorescence quenching on tyrosine. There is also an increase in the tyrosine CD at 230 nm. The CD of DNA above 250 nm is slightly shifted to the longer wavelength which is qualitatively similar to, but quantitatively much smaller than, that induced by polylysine binding. At physiological pH the poly(Lys50, Tyr50)–DNA complex is soluble until there is one lysine and one tyrosine per nucleotide in the complex. The same ratio of amino acid residues to nucleotide has also been observed in copolypeptide-bound regions of the complex. The addition of more poly(Lys50, Tyr50) to DNA yields a constant melting temperature, Tm′, for bound base pairs at 90°C which is close to that of polylysine-bound DNA under the same condition. The melting temperature, Tm, of free base pairs at about 60°C on the other hand, is increased by 10°C as more copolypeptide is bound to DNA. As the temperature is raised, both absorption and CD spectra of the complexes with high coverage are changed, suggesting structural alteration, perhaps deprotonation, on bound tyrosine. The results in this report also suggest that intercalation of tyrosine in DNA is unlikely to be the mode of binding. 相似文献
