The investigation of hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties and the determination of the molecular mass of legumin-T, the product of limited tryptic hydrolysis of the 11-S-globulin from pea seeds, was carried out to ascertain the structural relationship to globulin-T's from other legumin-like proteins. The obtained legumin-T preparation has a molecular mass M(W)=260+/-10 kDa and M(S,D)=270+/-20 kDa. The secondary structure of legumin-T is characterised by a high percentage of beta-sheet conformation, comparable to that of native legumin and a reduced percentage of helical conformation. The conformational stability of legumin-T evaluated by equilibrium unfolding in the presence of guanidinium chloride was only slightly reduced in comparison to the native legumin, whereas the calorimetrically determined denaturation enthalpy and Gibbs energy of denaturation were found to be increased for legumin-T. These physicochemical properties are very similar to those of faba bean legumin-T. 相似文献

Metabolic evidence for sequestration of low-density lipoprotein in abdominal aorta of normal rabbits
Schwenke DC 《American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology》2000,279(3):H1128-H1140
In rabbits, atherosclerosis develops preferentially at branch sites compared with the adjacent uniform aorta. This study investigated the hypothesis that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is "sequestered" (present in a form that exchanges slowly with plasma LDL) in the aortas of normal rabbits and that more LDL is sequestered at branch sites. Thus 33 normal rabbits were injected with LDL labeled with (125)I-labeled tyramine cellobiose ((125)I-TC) to trace both undegraded LDL and aortic LDL degradation products. For 25 rabbits, LDL was also labeled with (131)I to trace undegraded LDL alone. The time-dependent aortic (125)I-TC and (131)I accumulation was determined from 0.6 to 120 h after injection. Compartmental modeling provided metabolic evidence for sequestration of LDL at the branch (P < 0.01) and uniform (P < 0.005) abdominal aorta. Concentrations of sequestered LDL were 109 +/- 28% higher (P < 0.0005) for branch sites. LDL mean residence time was 23.5 +/- 3.1 h for branch sites, 7.6 +/- 3.5 h longer (P < 0.05) than for the uniform abdominal aorta. Enhanced retention of higher concentrations of sequestered LDL at branch sites could account for the increased susceptibility of these aortic sites to atherosclerosis. 相似文献

We have previously observed that the guinea-pig appears to have a relatively poor ventilatory (V (E)) response to hypoxia, compared to other mammals. Therefore, in this study, we questioned the ability of the carotid bodies (primary peripheral chemoreceptors) in the guinea-pig to detect hypoxia. The ventilatory responses to poikilocapnic hypoxia (8% O(2)), poikilooxic hypercapnia (8% CO(2)), hyperoxia (100% O(2)) and cyanide (NaCN - 200 mug/kg, i.v.) were assessed before and after carotid body denervation (CBD) in anaesthetized guinea-pigs. Although CBD attenuated the V (E) responses to hypercapnia and cyanide, it had no effect on normoxic breathing or the V (E) responses to hypoxia or hyperoxia. In a separate group of guinea-pigs, nerve activity was recorded from single or few-fibre preparations of the carotid sinus nerve (CSN). Basal chemoreceptor activity could not be detected from any of the nerve preparations. NaCN and hypercapnia consistently provoked an increase in neural activity. In contrast, hypoxia never clearly increased activity in any of the single or few-fibre preparations isolated from the CSN. In conclusion, although the carotid bodies of the guinea-pig, like those of other mammals, are able to detect hypercapnia and histotoxic hypoxia and elicit a reflex increase in V (E), they are essentially hypoxia-insensitive. The latter may explain, at least in part, the relatively poor V (E) response to hypoxia shown by the guinea-pig. 相似文献

Adipose tissue dysfunction plays a key role in the development of the metabolic abnormalities characteristic of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and participates actively in lipid metabolism. Adiponectin, found abundantly in circulation and a marker of adipose health, is decreased in obese persons with T2DM. We investigated whether the changes in adiponectin with an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss could potentially mediate the increase in low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) with ILI. Adiponectin and its fractions were determined using an ELISA with selective protease treatment in 1,397 participants from Look AHEAD, a trial examining whether ILI will reduce cardiovascular events in overweight/obese subjects with T2DM when compared with a control arm, diabetes support and education (DSE). Multivariable regression and mediational analyses were performed for adiponectin and its high-molecular-weight (HMW) and non-HMW fractions. ILI increased baseline HDL-C by 9.7% and adiponectin by 11.9%; changes with DSE were 1.3% and 0.2%, respectively (P < 0.0001). In a model including changes in weight, fitness, triglycerides, and glucose control and that adjusted for demographics and medical history, adiponectin changes remained significantly associated with HDL-C change. Data supported the contribution of changes in both HMW- and non-HMW-adiponectin to the improvement in HDL-C with ILI 相似文献

Characteristics of thermal denaturation of pea legumin and a product of its limited proteolysis with trypsin – legumin-T, in a wide range of NaCl concentrations have bean measured by means of differential scanning microcalorimetry. By the increase of NaCl concentration, the number of cooperative units (domains) increases from 1 per one polypeptide chain to 2 for legumin and 1.8 for legumin-T. Deconvolution of denaturation peaks have revealed up to three peaks, which were ascribed to the dissociation of protein macromolecules to subunits and the unfolding of - and β-polypeptide chains. The analysis of experimental data based on some assumptions showed that the splitting of C-termini of -chains, which are not constituents of cooperative domains, in the course of limited trypsinolysis results in destabilization of the quaternary structure of legumin and loosening of -chains, as well as decrease of the temperatures of their maximum stability. 相似文献

The secondary structure parameters of plant seed globulins (11S from Brassica napus L, 11S from Helianthus annuus L, IIS from Vicia faba, 7S from Phaseolus vulgaris L) have been determined from their circular dichroism spectra by the method of Provencher and Glöckner. According to this method, the proteins contain 40–50% β-sheet structure and only about 10% helical structure. We conclude, therefore, that the plant seed globulins belong to the class of β-sheet proteins. Their overall secondary structure is homologous. It is shown that the method of Provencher and Glöckner provides reasonable secondary structure parameters for proteins which are rich in β-sheet structure even if the spectral range utilized for analysis is restricted to 210–240 nm. 相似文献
