Abstract: 5-Hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3 ) receptors are the only known monoamine receptors mediating fast excitatory responses in mammalian neurons. Their primary structure as well as their electrophysiological and pharmacological properties show a phylogenetic relation to nicotinic acetylcholine, GABAA , and glycine receptors. As a prototypical member of this gene superfamily, we investigated the membrane topology of functional homomeric 5-HT3 receptors by using epitope tagging of the channel subunits expressed in heterologous systems. Visualization of 5-HT3 receptors in transfected COS-7 cells, either in western blot (molecular mass 61.2 ± 0.8 kDa) or in situ, was performed with previously characterized antibodies recognizing artificial epitopes as well as with anti-fusion protein antibodies directed against a wild-type receptor intracellular domain. The extracellular location of the distal C-terminal tagged domain demonstrates the presence of a fourth transmembrane domain in 5-HT3 serotonin-gated channels. In this region, the significant homology between members of this class of neurotransmitter-gated channels suggests strongly that they have a common transmembrane organization basically different from glutamate-gated and ATP-gated channels. 相似文献

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Isolation and sequence of a peptide containing an essential lysine 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Interaction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and sodium borohydride leads to inactivation and modification of two lysine residues per enzyme dimer that are thought to bind glucose 6-phosphate [Milhausen, M., & Levy, H.R. (1975) Eur. J. Biochem. 50, 453-461]. The amino acid sequence surrounding this lysine residue is reported. Following tryptic hydrolysis of the modified enzyme, two peptides, each containing one pyridoxyllysine residue, were purified to homogeneity and subjected to automated Edman degradation. The sequences revealed that one of these, a heptapeptide, was derived from the other, containing 11 amino acids. Supporting evidence for the role of the modified lysine is provided in the following paper [Haghighi, B., & Levy, H.R. (1982) Biochemistry (second paper of three in this issue)]. End-group analysis of the native enzyme revealed that valine is the N-terminal and glycine the C-terminal amino acid and provides support for the identity of the enzyme's two subunits. 相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells have significant capability in tumor immune-surveillance. The ability of lyse transformed cells immediately in an antigen-independent manner make them an attractive candidate for cancer cell therapy. Despite employment of NK cells in cancer immunotherapy, clinical trials are faced with serious limitations such as trouble with the penetration of NK cells in tumor sites, limited in vivo persistence, and tumor microenvironment interference. Taken together, the NK-cell cancer therapy is still infant scenario that has a long way to be translated in clinic. Current article first reviews characteristic features of NK lymphocytes. Then, it discusses about important disruptive barriers and motivator in the developmental stages of NK cells like as tumor microenvironment. Finally, some revolutionary approaches are highlighted utilizing of NK cells in cancer therapy. 相似文献

3-Hydroxybutyrate, one of the main blood ketone bodies, has been considered as a critical indicator for diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis. Biosensors designed for detection of 3-hydroxybutyrate with advantages of precision, easiness and speedy performance have attracted increasing attention. This study attempted to develop a 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase-based biosensor in which single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) was used in order to immobilize the cofactor, NAD+, on the surface of screen-printed electrode. The formation of NAD+–SWCNT conjugates was assessed by electrochemistry and electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry was used to analyze the performance of this biosensor electrochemically. The considerable shelf life and reliability of the proposed biosensor to analyze real sample was confirmed by this method. The reduction in the over potential of electrochemical oxidation of NADH to ?0.15 V can be mentioned as a prominent feature of this biosensor. This biosensor can detect 3-hydroxybutyrate in the linear range of 0.01–0.1 mM with the low detection limit of 0.009 mM. Simultaneous application of screen-printed electrode and SWCNT has made the biosensor distinguished which can open new prospects for detection of other clinically significant metabolites. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is deemed to be one of the main molecular targets for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It has been identified that EGFR involves in pathogenesis of some forms of human cancers. Monoclonal antibodies targeting EGFR could control the tumor cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis by suppressing the signal transduction pathways. Nanobodies can be regarded as the smallest intact antigen binding fragments, derived from heavy chain-only antibodies existing in camelids. Here, we describe the identification of an EGFR-specific nanobody, referred to as OA-cb6, obtained from immunized camel with a cell line expressing high levels of EGFR. Utilizing flow cytometry (FACS) and blotting methods, we demonstrated that OA-cb6 nanobody binds specifically to EGFR expressing on the surface of A431 cells. In addition, OA-cb6 nanobody potently causes the inhibition of EGFR over expression, cell growth and proliferation. The antibody fragments can probably be regarded as worthwhile binding block for further rational design of anti-cancer therapy. 相似文献
