Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis, Link) is the only plant known that synthesizes liquid wax. The final step in liquid wax biosynthesis is catalyzed by an integral membrane enzyme, fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):fatty alcohol acyltransferase, which transfers an acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a fatty alcohol to form the wax ester. To purify the acyltransferase, we have labeled the enzyme with a radioiodinated, photoreactive analog of acyl-CoA, 12-[N-(4-azidosalicyl)amino] dodecanoyl-CoA (ASD-CoA). This molecule acts as an inhibitor of acyltransferase activity in the dark and as an irreversible inhibitor upon exposure to ultraviolet light. Oleoyl-CoA protects enzymatic activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Photolysis of microsomal membranes with labeled ASD-CoA resulted in strong labeling of two polypeptides of 57 and 52 kD. Increasing concentrations of oleoyl-CoA reduced the labeling of the 57-kD polypeptide dramatically, whereas the labeling of the 52-kD polypeptide was much less responsive to oleoyl-CoA. Also, unlike the other polypeptide, the labeling of the 57-kD polypeptide was enhanced considerably when photolyzed in the presence of dodecanol. These results suggest that a 57-kD polypeptide from jojoba microsomes may be the acyl-CoA:fatty alcohol acyltransferase. 相似文献

The assignment of the paramagnetically shifted resonances of the Fe(II)-bleomycin complex in D2O has been accomplished using the transfer of saturation method. A number of additional resonances arising from labile N protons which are shifted by the metal ion are observed in the 1H spectrum of the complex in H2O. The temperature dependence of the chemical shifts is consistent with the formation of an isolated 1:1 complex, but does not obey either the Curie Law or the Curie-Weiss Law. The magnitude of the shifts suggests that the valeric acid hydroxyl (or carbonyl) group, the α-amino group, the imidazole Nπ, the carbamoyl oxygen, the pyrimidine N1 and/or the secondary amino group may be coordinated to the iron(II). 相似文献

A novel 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate cross-linked resin was prepared that was subsequently functionalized by using chloromethyl methyl ether to afford a high-capacity resin. The resin exhibited good swelling and its application in the successful synthesis of a 13-residue peptide corresponding to the fragment of seminalplasmin has been illustrated. The resin was chemically inert at peptide synthetic conditions. 相似文献

In this study, we compared the immunogenicity and tumor-protective activity of anti-idiotypic antibodies mimicking a single
tumor-associated epitope and tumor-associated antigen expressing multiple potentially immunogenic epitopes. We focused our
study on the colorectal-carcinoma(CRC)-associated antigen GA733 (also known as CO17-1A/KS1-4/KSA/EpCAM). Monoclonal anti-idiotypic
antibody (Ab2) BR3E4 was produced against murine anti-CRC mAb CO17-1A (Ab1) in rats. Full-length native GA733 protein was
isolated from human tumor cells, and the extracellular domain protein (GA733-2E) was isolated from supernatants of recombinant
baculovirus-infected insect cells by immunoafffinity chromatography. The immunomodulatory activity of the Ab2 was compared
with that of the antigen, both in rabbits and in mice. Mice, like humans but not rabbits, express a GA733 antigen homologue
on some of their normal tissues. Thus, these in vivo models allow the comparison of the immunogenicity of Ab2 and antigen
in the presence (mice) and absence (rabbits) of normal tissue expression and immunological tolerance of the GA733 antigen
homologue. In rabbits, aluminum-hydroxide(alum)-precipitated native GA733 antigen was superior to alum-precipitated Ab2 in
inducing specific humoral immunity. In mice, alum-precipitated recombinant GA733-2E antigen, but not alum-precipitated Ab2,
induced specific humoral immunity. However, when the Ab2 was administered to mice in Freund's complete adjuvant, specific
humoral immune responses were elicited. Ab2 in complete Freund's adjuvant and GA733-2E in alum were compared for their capacity
to induce antigen-specific cellular immunity in mice. Whereas lymphoproliferative responses were obtained with the recombinant
antigen only, delayed-type hypersensitivity responses were obtained with both recombinant antigen and Ab2, although these
responses were lower than after antigen immunization. The recombinant antigen in alum did not protect mice against challenge
with antigen-positive syngeneic murine CRC cells. Similar studies with Ab2 BR3E4 mimicking the CO17-1A epitope were not possible
because the tumor cells do not express this epitope after transfection with the human GA733-2 cDNA. However, similar studies
with Ab2 mimicking the epitope defined by mAb GA733, which is expressed by the transfected tumor cells, indicated a lack of
tumor-protective activity of this Ab2. In contrast, the full-length antigen expressed by recombinant adenovirus inhibited
the growth of established tumors in mice. In conclusion, soluble antigen is a more potent modulator of humoral and cellular
immune responses than Ab2, both administered in adjuvant. However, for induction of protective immunity, the immunogenicity
of the antigen must be further enhanced, e.g., by expression of the antigen in a viral vector.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases dephosphorylate tyrosine residues of proteins, whereas, dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a subgroup of protein tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate not only Tyr(P) residue, but also the Ser(P) and Thr(P) residues of proteins. The DUSPs are linked to the regulation of many cellular functions and signaling pathways. Though many cellular targets of DUSPs are known, the relationship between catalytic activity and substrate specificity is poorly defined. We investigated the interactions of peptide substrates with select DUSPs of four types: MAP kinases (DUSP1 and DUSP7), atypical (DUSP3, DUSP14, DUSP22 and DUSP27), viral (variola VH1), and Cdc25 (A-C). Phosphatase recognition sites were experimentally determined by measuring dephosphorylation of 6,218 microarrayed Tyr(P) peptides representing confirmed and theoretical phosphorylation motifs from the cellular proteome. A broad continuum of dephosphorylation was observed across the microarrayed peptide substrates for all phosphatases, suggesting a complex relationship between substrate sequence recognition and optimal activity. Further analysis of peptide dephosphorylation by hierarchical clustering indicated that DUSPs could be organized by substrate sequence motifs, and peptide-specificities by phylogenetic relationships among the catalytic domains. The most highly dephosphorylated peptides represented proteins from 29 cell-signaling pathways, greatly expanding the list of potential targets of DUSPs. These newly identified DUSP substrates will be important for examining structure-activity relationships with physiologically relevant targets. 相似文献
