Three forms of alkaline phosphatase have been isolated from different sections of the small intestine: F3 180 kDa from the duodenum; F2 150 kDa principally jejunal; F1 120 kDa the only ileal form. Their catalytic properties have been compared as well as the electrophoretic properties the dimer and monomer of their phosphorylated intermediates. Pi was a competitive inhibitor of F1 and F3, whereas glycerophosphate was competitive inhibitor only of F3. Pi was a non competitive inhibitor of F2 and of a mixture F1 plus F3. Heating the phosphorylated enzyme preparations led to their dissociation into the phosphorylated monomers: F1 and F3 appear to be homodimers 65 kDa and 90 kDa peptides respectively whilst F2 seems to be a dimer formed from one of each monomer. F1 was phosphorylated faster but less intensively than F3. F2 was strongly phosphorylated over a long time-course and its 65 kDa monomer fraction was phosphorylated more strongly for longer than that from F1. 相似文献

1. The distribution along the small intestine of phosphorylable proteins from the brush border has been studied by gel electrophoresis. 2. Four proteins, with apparent Mr of 190, 160, 140 and 120 kDa were distributed unequally along the gut, which incorporated 32P from gamma 32P (ATP) to different degrees. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity has been shown to follow the same distribution. 4. Under denaturing conditions 90, 85 and 65 kDa proteins were observed, whilst the proteins of 190, 160, 140 and 120 kDa had disappeared. 5. All these proteins, with the exception of the 190 kDa protein, had also been labelled with 32Pi. Furthermore, a difference in the phosphorylation of the 65 kDa and the 90-85 kDa proteins was observed. 6. The 65 kDa protein like commercial calf alkaline phosphatase had a ratio of phosphorylation from ATP to phosphorylation from Pi less than the 90 and 85 kDa proteins. 7. Mg2+ (2.5-10 mM) decreased phosphorylation of only the 65 kDa protein whilst beta-glycerophosphate inhibited phosphorylation of all forms of alkaline phosphatase. 8. Incorporation of gamma 32P (ATP) into the proteins was enhanced in the presence of 5 mM theophylline or EDTA. 9. The nature of the phosphorylation of these different proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Beef-heart mitochondrial F1 ATPase can be induced to synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in 30% Me2SO. We have analyzed the adenine nucleotide content of the F1 ATPase during the time-course of ATP synthesis, in the absence of added medium nucleotide, and in the absence and presence of 10 mM inorganic phosphate. The enzyme used in these investigations was either pretreated or not pretreated with ATP to produce F1 with a defined nucleotide content and catalytic or noncatalytic nucleotide-binding site occupancy. We show that the mechanism of ATP synthesis in Me2SO involves (i) an initial rapid loss of bound nucleotide(s), this process being strongly influenced by inorganic phosphate; (ii) a rebinding of lost nucleotide; and (iii) synthesis of ATP from bound ADP and inorganic phosphate. 相似文献

1. Michaelis constants, maximum velocity and pH-dependence of the reaction catalysed by homogeneous AMP-deaminase preparations from hen, frog and pikeperch skeletal muscle were compared, as well as the influence of monovalent cations, ATP and inorganic phosphate. 2. ATP was found to activate the enzymes in the absence of K+ and at optimum (150 mM) KCl concentration. 3. Absolute dependence on potassium ions and considerable dependence of Km and Vmax on the kind of monovalent cation present in the medium were found for pikeperch enzyme. 相似文献

A cDNA encoding 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was isolated from a Spinacia oleracea leaf library and used to express a recombinant enzyme in Escherichia coli and Spodoptera frugiperda cells. The insoluble protein expressed in E. coli was purified and used to raise antibodies. Western blot analysis of a protein extract from spinach leaf showed a single band of 90.8 kDa. Soluble protein was purified to homogeneity from S. frugiperda cells infected with recombinant baculovirus harboring the isolated cDNA. The soluble protein had a molecular mass of 320 kDa, estimated by gel filtration chromatography, and a subunit size of 90.8 kDa. The purified protein had activity of both 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase specific activity 10.4-15.9 nmol min(-1) x mg protein (-1) and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (specific activity 1.65-1.75 nmol x mol(-1) mg protein(-1). The 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity was activated by inorganic phosphate, and inhibited by 3-carbon phosphorylated metabolites and pyrophosphate. In the presence of phosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate was a mixed inhibitor with respect to both fructose 6-phosphate and ATP. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity was sensitive to product inhibition; inhibition by inorganic phosphate was uncompetitive, whereas inhibition by fructose 6-phosphate was mixed. These kinetic properties support the view that the level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in leaves is determined by the relative concentrations of hexose phosphates, three-carbon phosphate esters and inorganic phosphate in the cytosol through reciprocal modulation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activities of the bifunctional enzyme. 相似文献

IMP-specific, High Km 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) is an ubiquitous enzyme, the activity of which is highly regulated by substrate, ATP, and inorganic phosphate. The cDNA encoding this enzyme has recently been cloned and found to contain a unique stretch of nine glutamic and four aspartic acid residues at the C-terminus. To study the effects of this acidic tail, and of ATP and inorganic phosphate on enzyme function, we generated several structural modifications of the 5'-nucleotidase cDNA, expressed the corresponding proteins in Escherichia coli and compared their molecular and kinetic properties. As with the enzyme purified from human placenta, all recombinant proteins were activated by ATP and inhibited by inorganic phosphate. Although the S0.5-values were higher, the specific activities of the purified protein variants (except that truncated at the C-terminus) were similar. The molecular mass of the full-length enzyme subunit has been estimated at 57.3 kDa and the molecular mass of the native protein, as determined by gel-filtration chromatography, was estimated to be 195 kDa. Increasing the concentration of NaCl to 0.3 M promoted oligomerization of the protein and the formation of aggregates of 332 kDa. ATP induced further oligomerization to 715 kDa, while inorganic phosphate reduced the estimated molecular mass to 226 kDa. In contrast to the truncation of 30 amino acids at the N-terminus, which did not alter enzyme properties, the removal of the polyglutamic/aspartic acid tail of 13 residues at the C-terminus caused profound kinetic and structural changes, including a 29-fold decrease in specific activity and a significant increase in the sensitivity to inhibition by inorganic phosphate in the presence of AMP. Structurally, there was a dramatic loss of the ability to form oligomers at physiological salt concentration which was only partially restored by the addition of NaCl or ATP. These data suggest an important function of the polyglutamic acid tract in the process of association and dissociation of 5'-nucleotidase subunits. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of 0.3 microM [alpha,gamma-32P]ATP by 1 microM F1-ATPase isolated from the plasma membranes of Escherichia coli has been examined in the presence and absence of inorganic phosphate. The rate of binding of substoichiometric substrate to the ATPase is attenuated by 2 mM phosphate and further attenuated by 50 mM phosphate. Under all conditions examined, only 10-20% of the [alpha,gamma-32P]ATP that bound to the enzyme was hydrolyzed sufficiently slowly to be examined in cold chase experiments with physiological concentrations of non-radioactive ATP. These features differ from those observed with the mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The amount of bound substrate in equilibrium with bound products observed in the slow phase which was subject to promoted hydrolysis by excess ATP was not affected by the presence of phosphate. Comparison of the fluxes of enzyme-bound species detected experimentally in the presence of 2 mM phosphate with those predicted by computer simulation of published rate constants determined for uni-site catalysis (Al-Shawi, M.D., Parsonage, D. and Senior, A.E. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 15376-15383) showed that hydrolysis of substoichiometric ATP observed experimentally was clearly biphasic. Less than 20% of the substoichiometric ATP added to the enzyme was hydrolyzed according to the published rate constants which were calculated from the slow phase of product release in the presence of 1 mM phosphate. The majority of the substoichiometric ATP added to the enzyme was hydrolyzed with product release that was too rapid to be detected by the methods employed in this study, indicating again that the F1-ATPase from E. coli and bovine heart mitochondria hydrolyze substoichiometric ATP differently. 相似文献

1. The activity of the soluble phosphokinase for histone F1 increases in regenerating rat liver during the first period of DNA synthesis after partial hepatectomy. The increase probably represents new enzyme synthesis. 2. A dose of 500rd of gamma-irradiation given early in G1 decreases the amount of histone F1 phosphokinase found 22h after partial hepatectomy by 60-70%. 3. The enzyme preparations also contained a histone F1 phosphatase; the presence together of the kinase and phosphatase caused a disproportion between net (31)P uptake and (32)P incorporation into histone F1. 4. All four subclasses of histone F1 could accept phosphate from ATP. 5. Crude enzyme preparations transferred more (31)P into histone F1 with an initially low phosphate content than into one with a high phosphate content; conversely, more (32)P was transferred into the latter. 相似文献

ATP synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an approximately 600 kDa membrane protein complex. The enzyme couples the proton motive force across the mitochondrial inner membrane to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The peripheral stalk subcomplex acts as a stator, preventing the rotation of the soluble F 1 region relative to the membrane-bound F O region during ATP synthesis. Component subunits of the peripheral stalk are Atp5p (OSCP), Atp4p (subunit b), Atp7p (subunit d), and Atp14p (subunit h). X-ray crystallography has defined the structure of a large fragment of the bovine peripheral stalk, including 75% of subunit d (residues 3-123). Docking the peripheral stalk structure into a cryo-EM map of intact yeast ATP synthase showed that residue 123 of subunit d lies close to the bottom edge of F 1. The 37 missing C-terminal residues are predicted to either fold back toward the apex of F 1 or extend toward the membrane. To locate the C terminus of subunit d within the peripheral stalk of ATP synthase from S. cerevisiae, a biotinylation signal was fused to the protein. The biotin acceptor domain became biotinylated in vivo and was subsequently labeled with avidin in vitro. Electron microscopy of the avidin-labeled complex showed the label tethered close to the membrane surface. We propose that the C-terminal region of subunit d spans the gap from F 1 to F O, reinforcing this section of the peripheral stalk. 相似文献

Replacement of arginine 246 by histidine in the beta subunit of Escherichia coli H+-ATPase resulted in loss of multi-site ATPase activity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A mutant strain KF43 of Escherichia coli defective in the beta subunit of H+-translocating ATPase (F0F1) was examined. In this mutant, replacement of Arg246 by His was identified by DNA sequencing of the mutant gene and confirmed by tryptic peptide mapping. The mutant F1-ATPase was defective in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP but was active in uni-site hydrolysis. Studies on the kinetics of uni-site hydrolysis indicated that the k1 (rate of ATP binding) was similar to that of the wild-type, but the k-1 (rate of release of ATP) could not be measured. The mutant enzyme had a k3 (rate of release of inorganic phosphate) about 15-fold higher than that of the wild-type and showed 3 orders of magnitude lower promotion from uni- to multi-site catalysis. These results suggest that Arg246 or the region in its vicinity is important in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP and is also related to the binding of inorganic phosphate. Reconstitution experiments using isolated subunits suggested that hybrid enzymes (alpha beta gamma complexes) carrying both the mutant and wild-type beta subunits were inactive in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP, supporting the notion that three intact beta subunits are required for activity of the F1 molecule. 相似文献

Temperature effects on the kinetic properties of phosphofructokinase (PFK) purified from skeletal muscle of the golden-mantled ground squirrel, Spermophilus lateralis, were examined at 37 degrees C and 5 degrees C, values characteristic of body temperatures in euthermia vs. hibernation. The enzyme showed reduced sensitivity to all activators at 5 degrees C, the K(a) values for AMP, ADP, NH(4) (+) and F2,6P(2) were 3-11-fold higher at 5 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Inhibition by citrate was not affected whereas phosphoenolpyruvate, ATP and urea became more potent inhibitors at low temperature. While typically considered an activator of PFK activity, inorganic phosphate performed as an inhibitor at 5 degrees C. Decreasing temperature alone causes the actions of inorganic phosphate to change from activation to inhibition. We found that K(m) values for ATP remained constant while V(max) dropped significantly upon the addition of phosphate. Phosphate inhibition at 5 degrees C was noncompetitive with respect to ATP and the K(i) was 0.15 +/- 0.01 mm (n = 4). The results indicate that PFK is less likely to be activated in cold torpid muscle; PFK is less sensitive to changing adenylate levels at the low temperatures characteristic of torpor, and PFK is clearly much less sensitive to biosynthetic signals. All of these characteristics of hibernator PFK would serve to reduce glycolytic rate and help to preserve carbohydrate reserves during torpor. 相似文献

We prepared two types of E. coli F1 by slightly different gel filtration procedures of the purified F1: F1(II) contained about 2 mol, and F1(V) about 5 mol of bound adenine nucleotides per mol of the enzyme. Thus F1(II) had more than 2, possibly 3, vacant catalytic sites, while F1(V) had less than one vacant catalytic site. The rate of ATP hydrolysis in uni-site catalysis (in the presence of inorganic phosphate) was about 3-fold higher with F1(II) than with F1(V), suggesting that ADP and inorganic phosphate bound at the catalytic sites of F1(V) changed the kinetics of uni-site catalysis significantly. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of NaI-treated bovine brain cortex microsomes by inorganic phosphate in the presence of Mg2+ and ouabain has been studied at 0 degrees C (pH 7.4) and 20 degrees C (pH 7.0). Nearly maximal (90%) and half-maximal phosphorylation are achieved at 20 degrees C within 2 min with 50--155 and 5.6--17 muM 32Pi, respectively, and at 0 degrees C within 75 s with 300--600 and 33--66 muM 32Pi, respectively. Maximal phosphorylation yields 146 pmol 32P - mg-1 protein. Without ouabain (20 degrees C, pH 7.0) less than 25% of the incorporation observed in the presence of ouabain is reached. Preincubation of the native microsomes with Mg2+ and K+, in order to decompose possibly present high-energy phosphoryl-bonds prior to ouabain treatment, does not affect the maximal phosphate incorporation. This indicates that the inorganic phosphate incorporation is not due to an exchange with high-energy phosphoryl-bonds, which might have been preserved in the microsomal preparations. Phosphorylation of the native microsomes by ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+ reaches 90 and 50% maximal levels within 15--30 s at 0 degrees C and pH 7.4 at concentrations of [gamma-32P]ATP of 5--32 and 0.5--3.5 muM, respectively. The maximal phosphorylation level is 149 pmol 32P-mg-1 protein, equal to that of ouabain-treated microsomes phosphorylated by inorganic phosphate. Both inorganic phosphate and ATP phosphorylate on site per active enzyme subunit of 135 000 molecular weight. From the equilibrium constants for the phosphorylation of ouabain-treated microsomes by inorganic phosphate at 0 degrees C and 20 degrees C standard free-energy changes of --5.4 and --6.8 kcal/mol, respectively, are calculated. These values yield a standard enthalpy change of 14 kcal/mol and an entropy change of 70 cal/mol - degree K. This characterizes the reaction as a process driven by an entropy change. The intermediate formed by phosphorylation with Pi has maximal stability at acidic pH, as is the case for the intermediate formed with ATP. Solubilization in sodium dodecyl sulfate stabilizes the phosphoryl-bond in the pH range of 4--7. The non-solubilized preparation has optimal stability at pH 2--4, the level of which is equal to that of detergent-solubilized intermediate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of the microsomes at pH 3, following incorporation of 32Pi yields 11 protein bands, only one of which (mol. wt 100 000--106 000) carries the radioactive label. This protein has the same molecular weight as the protein, which is phosphorylated by ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+. 相似文献

The holoenzyme of protein phosphatase (PP) from tulip petals was purified by using hydrophobic interaction, anion exchange and microcystin affinity chromatography to analyze activity towards p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP). The catalytic subunit of PP was released from its endogenous regulatory subunits by ethanol precipitation and further purified. Both preparations were characterized by immunological and biochemical approaches to be PP2A. On SDS-PAGE, the final purified holoenzyme preparation showed three protein bands estimated at 38, 65, and 75 kDa while the free catalytic subunit preparation showed only the 38 kDa protein. In both preparations, the 38 kDa protein was identified immunologically as the catalytic subunit of PP2A by using a monoclonal antibody against the PP2A catalytic subunit. The final 623- and 748- fold purified holoenzyme and the free catalytic preparations, respectively, exhibited high sensitivity to inhibition by 1 nM okadaic acid when activity was measured with p-NPP. The holoenzyme displayed higher stimulation in the presence of ammonium sulfate than the free catalytic subunit did by protamine, thereby suggesting different enzymatic behaviors. 相似文献

The protection of F1 ATPase by inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, and magnesium ion against inactivation by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, and 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, respectively, has been investigated. Dissociation equilibrium constants and rate constants for the labeling reactions have been deduced from a quantitative treatment of the kinetic data. Comparison of these dissociation constants with each other and with the corresponding literature values indicates that the essential Tyr, Arg, Lys, and Glu or Asp residues are indeed located at the catalytic site of the enzyme. Examination of the rate constants for the labeling reactions in the presence of excess inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, or magnesium ion, respectively, suggests that the essential phenol and amino groups are located nearer to the bound inorganic phosphate or the gamma-phosphate group than to the alpha- or beta-phosphate group of the bound ATP, that the essential guanidinium group is located nearer to the alpha- or beta-phosphate group than to the gamma-phosphate group of the bound ATP or the bound inorganic phosphate, and that the essential carboxylate group is located slightly farther away but complexed with magnesium ion which it shares with the bound inorganic phosphate. A mechanism consistent with these topographical relationships is proposed for the catalytic hydrolysis and synthesis of ATP. 相似文献

Fatty acid synthesis in leucoplasts isolated from developing seeds ofBrassica campestris was absolutely dependent on external source of ATP. None of the other nucleoside triphosphates could replace ATP in the reaction
mixture. Use of ADP alone also resulted in reduced rates of fatty acid synthesis. However, in combination with inorganic phosphate
or inorganic pyrophosphate, it improved the rate of fatty acid synthesis, giving up to 50% of the ATP-control activity. Inorganic
phosphate or inorganic pyrophosphate alone again did not serve as an energy source for fatty acid synthesis. AMP, alongwith
inorganic pyrophosphate could promote fatty acid synthesis to up to 42% of the activity obtained with ATP. The three components
dihydroxy acetone phosphate, oxaloacetic acid, inorganic phosphate of dihydroxy acetone phosphate-shuttle together could restore
50% of the activity obtained with ATP. Omission of any one of the components of this shuttle drastically reduced the rate
of fatty acid synthesis to 15–24% of the ATP-control activity. Inclusion of ATP in reaction mixtures containing shuttle components
enhanced the rate of synthesis over control. The optimum ratio of shuttle components dihydroxy acetone phosphate, oxaloacetic
acid, inorganic phosphate determined was 1:1:2. Maximum rates of fatty acid synthesis were obtained when dihydroxy acetate
phosphate was used as the shuttle triose. Glyceraldehyde-3-P, 3-phosphoglycerate, 2-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate
as shuttle trioses were around 35–60% as effective as dihydroxy acetone phosphate in promoting fatty acid synthesis. The results
presented here indicate that although the isolated leucoplasts readily utilize exogenously supplied ATP for fatty acid synthesis,
intraplastidic ATP could also arise from dihydroxy acetone phosphate shuttle components or other appropriate metabolites 相似文献

Protein phosphorylation has been investigated in non-photosynthetic plastids of pea roots. Intact and lysed preparations of plastids were incubated with [gamma-(32)P]ATP and three stromal proteins of sizes 41, 58 and 62 kDa were phosphorylated on a serine residue. No other proteins were significantly labelled under the conditions used. The 62 kDa protein is probably phosphoglucomutase and represents a phosphoenzyme catalytic intermediate. The protein kinase(s) and phosphatase(s) acting on the other proteins were not sensitive to exogenous calcium but were sensitive to magnesium. The protein phosphatase which acts on the 41 kDa protein is possibly of type 2C, whereas that acting on the 58 kDa phosphoprotein did not fall into any class defined by mammalian systems. Metabolism of exogenous glucose 6-phosphate by the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway in intact plastids abolished the phosphorylation of the 58 kDa protein. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate and 3-phosphoglycerate also inhibited phosphorylation of the 58 kDa protein and had a time-dependent effect on the phosphorylation of the 41 kDa protein. The significance of these results in relation to a possible role for protein phosphorylation in these plastids is considered. 相似文献

(1) The rate of ATP synthesis during NADH-driven aerobic respiration has been measured in plasma membrane vesicles from Paracoccus denitrificans as a function of the concentration of the substrates, ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). In both cases, the response of the reaction to changes in the degree of saturation of the F0F1-ATPase generated a perfect Micaelian dependence which allowed the determination of the corresponding Michaelis constants, KmADP and KmPi. (2) These kinetic parameters possess a real mechanistic significance, as concluded from the partial reduction of the rate of phosphorylation by the energy-transfer inhibitor venturicidin and the consequent analysis of the results within the framework of the theory of metabolic control. (3) The same membrane vesicles, which catalyze very high rates of ATP synthesis, have been shown to support much lower rates of the exchange ATP in equilibrium Pi and negligible rates of ATP hydrolysis. Under similar conditions, the preparations are also capable of generating phosphorylation potentials, delta Gp, of 60-61 kJ.mol-1. (4) These properties have allowed analysis of the synthetic reaction in the presence of significant concentrations of the product, ATP, using integrated forms of the Michaelis-Menten rate equations. (5) It has been shown that ATP produces pure competitive product inhibition of the forward reaction with a value of KiATP = 16 +/- 1 microM, thus indicating that the affinity of the nucleotide for the active site(s) of the F0F1-ATPase, during net ATP synthesis, is significantly higher than previously thought. (6) The order of binding of the substrates, ADP and Pi, to the active site(s) has been determined as random. (7) At very low concentrations of ADP, a second and much smaller Michaelis constant for this substrate has been identified, with an estimated value of KmADP approximately equal to 50 nM, associated with a maximal rate of only 2% of that measured at a higher range of concentrations. (8) The results obtained are discussed in relation to the presence of two or three equivalent catalytic sites operating in the cooperative manner explicitly described by the binding change mechanism. 相似文献

Intracellular and oligomeric forms of surfactant-associated apolipoproteins(s) A in the rat 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Sulfhydryl-dependent oligomeric forms of the surfactant-associated apolipoprotein(s) A, obtained from particulate preparations of adult rat lung lavage, were characterized by immunoblot analysis and by silver staining of proteins separated by one- and two-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Under non-reducing conditions, these proteins migrated as oligomers, Mr approx. 50-70, 115, 160 kDa and greater. The large oligomers were reduced to the apolipoprotein(s) A subunits by treatment with beta-mercaptoethanol; Mr 38 (A3), 32 (A2) and 26 kDa (A1), pI 4.2-4.8. Mr 50 kDa protein was composed of sulfhydryl-dependent homo-dimers of protein(s) A1 (Mr 26 kDa). 55 kDa protein was a hetero-dimer composed primarily of A1 and A2 (Mr 26 and 32 kDa). 62 kDa protein was composed of hetero-dimers of A3 and apolipoprotein A2 (Mr 38 and 32 kDa). 70 kDa protein was a homodimer composed of apolipoprotein A3 A3 (38 kDa). Larger molecular forms were composed primarily of 38 and 32 kDa and lesser amounts of 26 kDa. Treatment with endoglycosidase F reduced A2 and A3 to 26 kDa. Apolipoprotein A1 co-migrated with a protein of Mr 26 kDa immunoprecipitated from [35S]methionine-labelled Type II epithelial cells. Chymotryptic-tryptic peptide maps of apolipoproteins A1, A2 and A3 were identical, suggesting that apolipoproteins A3 and A2 arise through extensive glycosylation of apolipoprotein A1. 相似文献
