A Ca2+-dependent sialic acid-binding protein was purified on fetuin-Sepharose from various types of human tissue. The molecular mass was determined to be 10,315 Da by laser desorption mass spectrometry. Partial sequence analysis after cyanogen bromide cleavage that yielded one N-terminus accessible for Edman degradation revealed an identity to an internal stretch following the only methionine residue within a putative amino acid sequence (Mr 10,048), deduced from the cDNA of a cell cycle-specific gene. The reported biochemical identification is a prerequisite to infer the biological role of the so far undetected gene product. Initial glycohistochemical studies with sialic acid-(BSA-biotin) raised evidence for nuclear localization of sialic acid-binding sites that might reflect, at least in part, detection of this protein. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic, NAD-linked hydrogenase of the Gram-positive hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Nocardia opaca 1b was compared with the analogous enzyme isolated from the Gram-negative bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. The hydrogenase of N. opaca 1b was purified by a new procedure applying chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephacel with two columns in series. A homogeneous enzyme preparation with a specific activity of 74 mumol H2 oxidized.min-1.mg protein-1 and a yield of 32% was isolated. The A. eutrophus enzyme was purified as previously published. Both enzymes are tetrameric proteins composed of four non-identical subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). The four subunits of both of these enzymes were separated and isolated as single polypeptides by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Immunological comparison of the four subunits of the Nocardia hydrogenase with those of the Alcaligenes enzyme showed that the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subunits of one organism were serologically related to the analogous subunits of the other organism. Among themselves, the four subunits do not have any serological relationship. The eight individual polypeptides were also compared with respect to the NH2-terminal amino acid sequences determined by automated Edman degradation and to the amino acid compositions. Strong sequence similarities exist between the analogous subunits isolated from the two bacteria. Within the established N-terminal sequences the similarities between both alpha, beta, gamma and delta subunits amount to 63%, 79%, 80% and 65%, respectively. No similarities exist between the different, non-analogous subunits alpha, beta, gamma and delta. 相似文献

Pseudomonas lemoignei has five different polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) depolymerase genes (phaZ1 to phaZ5), which encode the extracellularly localized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerases C, B, and D, poly(3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHV) depolymerase, and PHB depolymerase A, respectively. Four of the five genes (phaZ1 to phaZ4) have been cloned, and one of them (phaZ1) was studied in detail earlier (D. Jendrossek, B. Müller, and H. G. Schlegel, Eur. J. Biochem. 218:701-710, 1993). The fifth PHA depolymerase gene (phaZ5) was identified by colony hybridization of recombinant Escherichia coli clones with a phaZ5-specific oligonucleotide. The nucleotide sequence of a 3,704-bp EcoRI fragment was determined and found to contain two large open reading frames (ORFs) which coded for a polypeptide with significant similarities to glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenases of various sources (313 amino acids; M(r), 32,193) and for the precursor of PHB depolymerase A (PhaZ5; 433 amino acids; M(r), 44,906). The PHV depolymerase gene (phaZ4) was subcloned, and the nucleotide sequence of a 3,109-bp BamHI fragment was determined. Two large ORFs (ORF3 and ORF4) that represent putative coding regions were identified. The deduced amino acid sequence of ORF3 (134 amino acids; M(r), 14,686) revealed significant similarities to the branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (IlfE) of enterobacteria. ORF4 (1,712 bp) was identified as the precursor of a PHV depolymerase (567 amino acids; M(r), 59,947). Analysis of primary structures of the five PHA depolymerases of P. lemoignei and of the PHB depolymerases of Alcaligenes faecalis and Pseudomonas pickettii revealed homologies of 25 to 83% to each other and a domain structure: at their N termini, they have typical signal peptides of exoenzymes. The adjacent catalytic domains are characterized by several conserved amino acids that constitute putative catalytic triads which consist of the consensus sequence of serine-dependent hydrolases including the pentapeptide G-X-S-X-G, a conserved histidine and aspartate, and a conserved region resembling the oxyanion hole of lipases. C terminal of the catalytic domain an approximately 40-amino-acid-long threonine-rich region (22 to 27 threonine residues) is present in PhaZ1, PhaZ2, PhaZ3, and PhaZ5. Instead of the threonine-rich region PhaZ4 and the PHB depolymerases of A. faecalis and P. pickettii contain an approximately 90-amino-acid-long sequence resembling the fibronectin type III module of eucaryotic extracellular matrix proteins. The function of the fibronectin type III module in PHA depolymerases remains obscure. Two types of C-terminal sequences apparently represent substrate-binding sites; the PHB type is present in the PHB depolymerases of A. faecalis and P. pickettii and in PhaZ2, PhaZ3, and PhaZ5 and the PHV type is present in the PHV-hydrolyzing depolymerases (PhaZ4 and PhaZ1). phaZ1 was transferred to A. eutrophus H16 and JMP222. All transconjugants of both strains were able to grow with extracellular PHB as a carbon source and produced translucent halos on PHB-containing solid media. PhaZ1, PhaZ2, PhaZ4, and PhaZ5 were purified from P. lemoignei and from recombinant E. coli; the processing sites of the precursors in E. coli were the same as in P. lemoignei, and similar substrate specificities were determined for the wild-type and the recombinant proteins. All PHA depolymerases hydrolyzed PHB at high specific activities. PhaZ1 and PhaZ4 additionally cleaved PHV, and PhaZ4 hydrolyzed poly(4-hydroxybutyrate). None of the depolymerases was able to hydrolyze polyactide or PHA consisting of monomers with more than five carbon atoms. While the wild-type depolymerase proteins were glycosylated and found to contain glucose and N-acetylglucosamine, none of the recombinant proteins was glycosylated. PHB hydrolysis was dependent on divalent cations such as Ca2+ and was inhibited by the presence of EDTA. 相似文献

The Drosophila melanogaster gene flightless-I, involved in gastrulation and
muscle degeneration, has Caenorhabditis elegans and human homologues. In
these highly conserved genes, two previously known gene families have been
brought together, families encoding the actin- binding proteins related to
gelsolin and the leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) group of proteins involved in
protein-protein interactions. Both these gene families exhibit
characteristics of molecular changes involving replication slippage and
exon shuffling. Phylogenetic analyses of 19 amino acid sequences of 6
related protein types indicate that actin- associated proteins related to
gelsolin are monophyletic to a common ancestor and include flightless
proteins. Conversely, comparison of 24 amino acid sequences of LRR proteins
including the flightless proteins indicates that flightless proteins are
members of a structurally related subgroup. Included in the flightless
cluster are human and mouse rsp-1 proteins involved in suppressing v-Ras
transformation of cells and the membrane-associated yeast (Saccharomyces
cerevisae) adenylate cyclase whose analogous LRRs are required for
interaction with Ras proteins. There is a strong possibility that ligands
for this group could be related and that flightless may have a similar role
in Ras signal transduction. It is hypothesized that an ancestral monomeric
gelsolin precursor protein has undergone at least four independent gene
reorganization events to account for the structural diversity of the extant
family of gelsolin-related proteins and that gene duplication and exon
shuffling events occurred prior to or at the beginning of multicellular
life, resulting in the evolution of some members of the family soon after
the appearance of actin-type proteins.

Mg(2+) at an optimal concentration of 2mM (ph 6.5) induces large increases (up to 30 percent) in the optical density of bovine heart mitochondria incubated under conditions of low ionic strength (< approx. 0.01). The increases are associated with aggregation (sticking together) of the inner membranes and are little affected by changes in the energy status of the mitochondria. Virtually all of a number of other polyvalent cations tested and Ag(+) induce increases in mitochondrial optical density similar to those induced by Mg(2+), their approximate order of concentration effectiveness in respect to Mg(2+) being: La(3+) > Pb(2+) = Cu(2+) > Cd(2+) > Zn(2+) > Ag(+) > Mn(2+) > Ca(2+) > Mg(2+). With the exception of Mg(2+), all of these cations appear to induce swelling of the mitochondria concomitant with inner membrane aggregation. The inhibitors of the adenine nucleotide transport reaction carboxyatratyloside and bongkrekic acid are capable of preventing and reversing Mg(2+)-induced aggregation at the same low concentration required for complete inhibition of phosphorylating respiration, suggesting that they inhibit the aggregation by binding to the adenine nucleotide carrier. The findings are interpreted to indicate (a) that the inner mitochondrial membrane is normally prevented from aggregating by virtue of its net negative outer surface change, (b) that the cations induce the membrane to aggregate by binding at its outer surface, decreasing the net negative charge, and (c) that carboxyatractyloside and bongkrekic acid inhibit the aggregation by binding to the outer surface of the membrane, increasing the net negative charge. 相似文献

Rates and patterns of evolution in partial sequences of five mitochondrial
genes (cytochrome b, ATPase 6, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5, tRNA(Glu), and
the control region) were compared among taxa in the passerine bird genera
Fringilla and Carduelis. Rates of divergence do not vary significantly
among genes, even in comparisons with the control region. Rate variation
among lineages is significant only for the control region and NADH
dehydrogenase subunit 5, and patterns of variation are consistent with the
expectations of neutral theory. Base composition is biased in all genes but
is stationary among lineages, and there is evidence for directional
mutation pressure only in the control region. Despite these similarities,
patterns of substitution differ among genes, consistent with alternative
regimes of selective constraint. Rates of nonsynonymous substitution are
higher in NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 than in other protein-coding genes,
and transitions exist in elevated proportions relative to transversions.
Transitions appear to accumulate linearly with time in tRNA(Glu), and
despite exhibiting the highest overall rate of divergence among species,
there are no transversional changes in this gene. Finally, for resolving
phylogenetic relationships among Fringilla taxa, the combined
protein-coding data are broadly similar to those of the control region in
terms of phylogenetic informativeness and statistical support.

The 5-kDa protein PorA of the Gram-positive bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum is the subunit of the cell wall channel. Antibodies raised against PorA specifically detected the protein on the cell surface. PorA was sequenced using Edman degradation and a gas phase sequencer. The primary sequence was used to create degenerate oligonucleotide primers. The gene of the channel-forming protein and its flanking regions were obtained by PCR followed by inverse PCR. The gene porA comprises 138 bp and encodes a 45-amino-acid-long acidic polypeptide with an excess of four negatively charged amino acids in agreement with the high cation selectivity of the PorA cell wall channel. PorA does not contain an N-terminal extension. A ribosomal-binding site was recognized 6 bp before the start codon ATG of porA. It codes for the smallest subunit of a membrane channel known so far and for the first cell wall channel protein of a corynebacterium. Southern blots demonstrated that only the chromosomes of corynebacteria contain homologous sequences to porA; no hybridization could be detected with DNA from other mycolata. 相似文献

The immunoglobulin Kol was the first intact antibody molecule which was characterized by high-resolution X-ray crystallography. Furthermore the complete amino-acid sequence of the heavy (H)-chain is known. Here we report the complete amino-acid sequence of the light (L)-chain of the monoclonal immunoglobulin Kol (IgG1). The polypeptide has an Mr of 22,781, consists of 216 amino acids and due to its structure is of the lambda-type. With the characteristic amino acids threonine, asparagine, threonine, glycine and lysine in positions 101, 114, 116, 154, and 165, respectively the Kol L-chain is of the Mcg isotype. With the proteins Mcg, Mot, Bur, Loc and Mem six myeloma-derived amino-acid sequences of the same isotype are known. The amino-acid sequence of the N-terminal variable part is characteristic of subgroup 1. This contribution completes the primary structure of IgG1 Kol. 相似文献
