Isolated, intact bull testis nuclei were incubated with [14C] NAD. A large amount of radioactivity was associated to loosely bound chromosomal proteins extracted with 0.35M NaCl and fractionated with trichloroacetic acid. The labelled nuclear proteins included essentially a number of components belonging to the low mobility group. Mg2(+)-catalyzed alkali digestion of radioactive proteins and further analysis demonstrated that the final products were 5'-AMP and phospho-ribosyl-AMP, which arise from the hydrolysis of poly(ADP-ribose). 相似文献

Bull testis arginase was about 1,000 times purified. The molecular weight was estimated to 120,000 (+/- 250). The enzyme was an anionic protein. Km was determined to be 3.4 mM. According to electrophoretic mobility and affinity to DEAE-cellulose as well as to the immunological properties, the arginase isolated from bull testis may be identified as arginase A1. 相似文献

Z-DNA-binding proteins. Identification critically depends on the proper choice of ligands 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have previously isolated from bull testis three proteins of molecular mass 31, 33, and 58 kDa that we have tentatively characterized as high affinity Z-DNA-binding proteins. This inference was based on their preferential binding to brominated poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) in Z-form as opposed to the unbrominated polynucleotide in B-form (Gut, S. H., Bischoff, M., Hobi, R., and Kuenzle, C. C. (1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15, 9691-9705). By partial amino acid sequencing we have provisionally identified the 31- and 33-kDa proteins as members of the high mobility group 2 and 1 protein families, respectively, whereas the 58-kDa protein has so far remained unidentified (Christen, Th., Bischoff, M., Hobi, R., and Kuenzle, C. C. (1990) FEBS Lett. 267, 139-141). In the present study, we have critically reassessed the binding specificity of these three proteins by using more natural Z- and B-DNA ligands. As such we chose supercoiled and relaxed DNA minicircles containing a d(CG)7 insert in the Z- and B-conformation, respectively. Filter binding tests and gel retardation assays performed with these ligands showed that the three testis proteins either do not discriminate between Z- and B-DNA (31- and 33-kDa proteins) or even have a preference for B-DNA (58-kDa protein). Therefore, we question the validity of using brominated poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) as an indicator of Z-DNA binding. 相似文献

ADP-ribosylation of a specific basic protein has been investigated in isolated intact bull testis nuclei incubated with NAD+. The electrophoretic mobility, molecular weight and amino-acid composition of the purified bull testis specific protein are similar to those of rat testis protein. About 1-5% of the total radioactivity incorporated in the 20% acid-insoluble fraction was associated with testis protein and was identified as ADP-ribose. 相似文献

The 40 kDa argiopinin-binding glycoprotein has been isolated from the solubilised preparations of bovine cerebrum membranes by means of two-step biospecific chromatography on affinity sorbents with immobilized glutamate and argiopinins. This receptor component displays a specific L-[3H]glutamate binding with Kd = 0.18 +/- +/- 0.019 mumole and Bmax = 43 +/- 4.5 nmole/mg. Amino acid analysis reveals it to be a member of integral membrane proteins. 相似文献

Acceptor proteins for poly(ADP-ribose) have been purified from mouse testis nuclei. Nuclear proteins were labelled in vitro with [14C]ribose and [3H]adenine, extracted with 5% (v/v) HClO4 and 0.25 M-HCl and separated by ion-exchange chromatography. Non-histone proteins were found to be the major acceptors in both the 5% (w/v)-HClO4-soluble and 5%-HClO4-insoluble HCl-extractable fractions. Of the two groups of non-histone proteins associated with chromatin, the LMG (low-mobility-group) proteins were preferentially ADP-ribosylated. HMG (high-mobility group) proteins were labelled to lower specific radioactivity. Six LMG proteins were purified to approx. 90% homogeneity and were identified from their mobility on polyacrylamide gels at pH 2.9 and from their amino acid composition. The average length of the poly(ADP-ribose) chain was estimated to be four to six repeating ADP-ribose units. It is suggested that ADP-ribosylation of LMG proteins, a long-neglected group of chromatin-associated proteins, is important during spermatogenesis for the production of spermatozoa with intact and competent DNA. 相似文献

Z-DNA-binding proteins in Escherichia coli purification, generation of monoclonal antibodies and gene isolation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Z-DNA affinity adsorption of an Escherichia coli lysate in the presence of excess B-DNA results in a 1000-fold enrichment for three proteins with apparent molecular weights, on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, of 50,000, 90,000 and 100,000. When retention of these proteins on resins constructed with Z-DNA (Br-poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC)) was compared with retention on resins constructed with B-DNA or Br-B-DNA, it was found that approximately 100-fold more of the 50,000 Mr protein, 1000-fold more of the 90,000 Mr protein, and greater than 1000-fold more of the 100,000 Mr protein was retained on the Z-DNA resin. No difference in retention on the B-DNA versus brominated B-DNA resin was found, indicating that the increased retention on the Z-DNA resin was not due to bromination of the Z-DNA. This demonstration of Z-DNA-specific binding in vitro makes these proteins candidates for binding to Z-DNA in vivo. In an effort to determine the function of these proteins we have prepared monoclonal antibodies against each protein and isolated its respective gene. Western blot analysis of lysogens carrying these genes confirms their identity and shows that the complete coding region and promoter for each gene has been cloned. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the protein composition of the sperm membranes (SM) of Nelore bulls, assessing protein markers associated with bull fertility, and whether these markers can be used for predicting bull fertility. Samples were obtained of 20 Nelore bulls, with fertility ranked and divided into three groups (greater, normal and least). To rank the bull's fertility weighted classification was used (according to the number of pregnant cows, number of AI cows and number of herds, considering three different breeding seasons), using the PROC GENMOD as a statistical model, with 99% significance. A total of 7897 Nelore cows, randomly distributed among 28 different farms, were considered in the statistical analyses. The bulls were divided into three fertility groups (pregnancy rates): greater (%F > 80), normal (79 < %F > 71) and least (< 68%F) with 3, 13 and 4 bulls, respectively. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) of sperm membranes indicated in 27 spots (SM40, SM53, SM69, SM93, SM102, SM111, SM137, SM138, SM189, SM196, SM201, SM202, SM204, SM225, SM236, SM237, SM239, SM241, SM246, SM247, SM275, SM283, SM342, SM346, SM355, SM372, SM391) was prevalent in the higher fertility group, and just one spot (SM244) was prevalent in the lower fertility group. Spots SM244 and SM239 had their identification defined by PMF/MALDI-MS, as BSP-A3 and aSFP, respectively. Both these proteins showed a great potential for predicting bull's fertility. The amount of aSFP was 8.5 times greater in the sperm membrane protein profile of the higher fertility groups of Nelore bulls. Besides that, the BSP-A3 was 2.5 times greater in the lower fertility group. For the other spots potentially associated with fertility not yet identified, additional tests will be necessary, but it is clear that the 2D electrophoresis of the sperm membrane can be used for a new approach to predict Nelore bull fertility. 相似文献

The first crystal structure of a protein, the Z alpha high affinity binding domain of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR1, bound to left-handed Z-DNA was recently described. The essential set of residues determined from this structure to be critical for Z-DNA recognition was used to search the database for other proteins with the potential for Z-DNA binding. We found that the tumor-associated protein DLM-1 contains a domain with remarkable sequence similarities to Z alpha(ADAR). Here we report the crystal structure of this DLM-1 domain bound to left-handed Z-DNA at 1.85 A resolution. Comparison of Z-DNA binding by DLM-1 and ADAR1 reveals a common structure-specific recognition core within the binding domain. However, the domains differ in certain residues peripheral to the protein-DNA interface. These structures reveal a general mechanism of Z-DNA recognition, suggesting the existence of a family of winged-helix proteins sharing a common Z-DNA binding motif. 相似文献

Two types of modulator (calmodulin; CDR)-binding protein were demonstrated in the cytosol of rat testis. One was heat-stable and had an estimated molecular weight of 88,000. The other one was heat-labile and had an estimated molecular weight of 410,000. Assay method for such cytosolic modulator-binding protein was developed by using [3H] modulator protein in combination with a polyethylene glycol precipitation method. 相似文献

We have employed high-performance liquid chromatography on reversed phase columns to analyse the major basic proteins from bull seminal plasma. The proteins were separated preparatively and characterized with respect to molecular mass, amino-acid composition as well as by means of immunodiffusion against specific antisera. The following proteins could be identified: bull seminal proteinase inhibitor II (BUSI II), two seminal RNAases, the seminal antimicrobial protein and proteolytic fragments, derived from it, and a hitherto unknown protein P6 of molecular mass 20 000 Da. Another unknown protein, P5, found to be formed during preparation of the basic protein fraction turned out to be a proteolytic fragment of protein P6 with a molecular mass of 8 750 Da for the polypeptide chain. Antisera against the isolated proteins were raised in rabbits and their specificity established. Single radial immunodiffusion was used to determine the concentration of the above basic proteins in bull seminal plasma: BUSI II (0.25 mg/ml), seminal RNAases (6.5 mg/ml) and protein P6 (2.9 mg/ml). 相似文献

4-Hydroxynon-2-enal (4-HNE) is one of the major aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and is involved in a number of pathophysiological processes. Since LPO products are useful indicators for oxidative stress in vivo, a number of detection methods for LPO products in biological tissues were developed. However, none of these methods is presently used in clinical settings. In order to introduce LPO products as biomarkers in clinical studies a suitable GC-MS method for 4-HNE detection was adapted to meet clinical requirements. As one result, the minimal sample volume could be decreased to 50 microl of plasma so that the method might even be suitable for pediatric purposes. The best internal standard (I.S.) for 4-HNE detection by GC-MS 9,9,9-D(3)-4-hydroxynon-2-enal was introduced by van Kuijk et al. [Anal. Biochem., 224 (1995) 420]. However, because of its limited availability, benzaldehyde-ring-d(5), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde were tested to find an alternative. Out of these three, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was shown to serve best as I.S. To examine the applicability of the adapted method, tests on the stability of 4-HNE in samples during storage were carried out. It was shown that plasma samples need to be stored at -80 degrees C or less to avoid greater loss of 4-HNE. Samples with 4-HNE concentrations close to the physiological level were shown to be stable over 22 months at -80 degrees C. The introduction of a new and easily available I.S., reduction of the sample volume, and information about sample stability provided by this study facilitate 4-HNE determination in most clinical settings. 相似文献

Rainbow trout protamines. Amino acid sequences of six distinct proteins from a single testis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
All the protamines present in detectable amounts in a single mature testis from rainbow trout have been purified to homogeneity using acid extraction, gel filtration chromatography on Bio-Gel P-10, ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Each of the six purified protamines was completely sequenced using automated gas-phase Edman degradation. Each protamine is two-thirds arginine and also contains proline, serine, valine and glycine. Three protamines also contain alanine while two contain isoleucine. Four of the protamines have 32 amino acids while the remaining two have 30. The six protamines have been classified into three families on the basis of their amino acid sequences. 相似文献

Hyaluronidase from bull sperm was fractionated by ammonium sulfate and further purified by DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex chromatography. The highly purified hyaluronidase preparation showed 2,370 units per mg of protein (68,730 N.F. units per mg of protein), i.e. 182-fold purification. Disc gel electrophoresis showed one major component. The molecular weight of bull sperm hyaluronidase was 62,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Hyaluronidase from bull sperm has optimum activity at pH 3.8 and an absolute requirement for cations. Kplus and Naplus have a greater effect than Ca2plus, Mg2plus, and Mn2plus, whereas Co2plus, Cu2plus, and Zn2plus do not affect the enzyme activity. Purified preparations are less stable than crude extracts stored frozen at minus 15 degrees. Km of hyaluronidase with hyaluronic acid as substrate is 3.7 mg per ml and Vmax is 2.4 mumol per min by Hofstee plot. 相似文献

We have employed HPLC on reversed phase columns to analyse the major basic proteins from bull seminal vesicle secretion. The identification of proteins was achieved by comparison with authentic protein samples from bull seminal plasma as well as immunological characterisation using antisera directed against the latter proteins. The major basic proteins from bull seminal plasma: bull seminal proteinase inhibitor II (BUSI II), the seminal ribonuclease BS1, the protein P6 as well as the antimicrobial protein were also identified as the main constituents of the fraction of basic proteins derived from seminal vesicle secretion. FPLC using Mono S HR columns was also found to resolve the mixture of basic proteins and proved to be especially useful with respect to the isolation of the antimicrobial protein from basic proteins of seminal vesicle secretion. The identity of the antimicrobial protein from bull seminal plasma with the respective protein from seminal vesicle secretion was confirmed by amino-acid analysis and comparison of tryptic peptide patterns by HPLC. The antimicrobial protein was isolated from seminal vesicle secretion with a yield of 3 mg/ml of secretion. 相似文献
