Tricyclohexylhydroxytin, commonly known as Plictran® inhibited Na+, K+ -ATPase activity of rat brain synaptosomes in a concentration-dependent manner with median inhibitory concentration (IC-50) of 2 μM. Both K+ -stimulated para-nitrophenylphosphatase and [3-H]-ouabain binding to synaptosomes were also inhibited by Plictran with IC-50 values of 11 and 30 μM, respectively. Altered pH and Na+, K+ -ATPase activity curves demonstrated comparable inhibition in buffered neutral and alkaline pH ranges, and no inhibition was observed in acidic pH. The inhibition of Na+, K+ -ATPase was independent of temperature. Kinetic studies of substrate (ATP) activation of Na+, K+ -ATPase indicated uncompetitive inhibition. Results also showed noncompetitive inhibition for p-nitrophenylphosphate and uncompetitive inhibition for K+ activations of p-nitrophenylphosphatase. Preincubation of synaptosomes with dithiothreitol, a sulfhydryl (SH) agent, resulted in the complete protection of Plictran inhibition of Na+, K+ -ATPase, K+ -para-nitrophenylphosphatase, and [3-H]-ouabain binding. The protection was specific and concentration dependent since cysteine and glutathione did not afford protection. These results indicate that Plictran inhibited Na+, K+ -ATPase by interacting with dephosphorylation of the enzyme-phosphoryl complex and exerted a similar effect to that of SH-blocking agents. 相似文献

Leacthing the excised embryonic-axes from dormant groundunt (Arachis hypogaea) seeds resulted in their growth. However, their growth was stunted compared to that of after-ripened ones. It is attributed to (1) the lower amount of gibberellin-like substances in the dry, dormant embryonic-axes than in the after-ripened ones, and (2) the inability of the former to sythesise tbe tibberetllin as indicated by the lower content compared to the after-ripened ones kept in water. Exogenousty supplied GA(3) (0.1 mg/1) increased both the endogenous gibberellin and growth of the dormant, leached embryonic-axes to the level of after-ripened ones. 相似文献

Effects in vitro of methyl parathion on some kinetic constants of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in hepatopancreas of freshwater mussel, L. marginalis were studied. Altered pH vs. specific activity curves for SDH demonstrated significant inhibition by methyl parathion in buffered acidic, neutral and alkaline ranges. At high pH ranges IC50 (12.5 microM) of methyl parathion did not cause 50% inhibition enzyme as it did at neutral and acidic pHs. Activation energies (delta E) were found to be increased suggesting decreased efficiency of enzyme in presence of methyl parathion. Non-competitive inhibition with respect to activation by succinate was indicated by decreased maximal velocity (V) without change in Michaelis Menten constant (Km). Pyridine-2-aldoxime (25 microM), pyridine-4-aldoxime (15 microM) and L-cysteine (40 microM) neutralized the inhibition of SDH by methyl parathion (12.5 microM). The kinetic data suggests that inhibition of SDH by methyl parathion was pH and temperature independent. 相似文献

Mg2 + dependent —adenosine triphosphatase activity has been studied in the muscle, brain, kidney and liver tissues of frog,Rana hexadactyla (Lesson) after sciatectomy and induced chronic ammonia stress. The enzyme activity decreased in the tissues of the denervated
frog. The activity of the enzyme increased in all the tissues of the normal and denervated frogs except in the denervated
muscle when ammonium lactate was infused intraperitoneally. 相似文献

Moth larvae (Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) collected from field crops were tested for resistance to cypermethrin, fenvalerate, endosulfan, monocrotophos and quinolphos. Larvae were treated with a dose of the pesticide that would kill 99% of the susceptible insects. The percent survival of the resistant strains was determined. Highest seasonal average percentage survival was recorded by fenvalerate (65.0%) followed by cypermethrin (62.4%). Acetylcholinesterase of resistant larvae was less sensitive to monocrotophos and methyl paraoxon. Resistant larvae showed higher activities of esterases, phosphatases and methyl paraoxon hydrolase compared with susceptible larvae. The presence of high activity of esterases was attributed to appearance of extra bands of esterases in native PAGE. The presence of P-glycoprotein expression was detected in resistant larvae using P-gp antibodies; this was not detected in the susceptible larvae. Our results indicate that the high level of resistance detected in the field pests could be because of a combined effect of decreased sensitivity to AChE, higher levels of esterases, phosphatases and the expression of P-gp. 相似文献

Cytochrome c552 was purified to near homogenity and partially characterized from Halobacterium salinarium JWS mutant, devoid of carotenoid pigments. The purification involved the extraction of membranes with 1% Triton X-100, followed by butylagarose, DEAE-Sepharose CL6B and hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The fold of purification was 16. The purified cytochrome showed maximum absorption at 552 nm. The molecular mass determined by SDS-PAGE was found to be 14.1 kD. 相似文献

Helicoverpa armigera is a major pest of agricultural crops and has developed resistance to various insecticides. A P-glycoprotein (Pgp) with ATPase activity likely to be involved in insecticide resistance was purified and characterized from insecticide-resistant H. armigera. The purification was 18-fold with 3% yield. The optimum pH and temperature were found to be 7.4 and 30-40 °C, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that this enzyme had a Km value of 1.2 mM for ATP. Pgp from H. armigera was partially sequenced and found to be homologous to conserved sequences of mammalian Pgps. Pesticides stimulated H. armigera Pgp ATPase activity with a maximum stimulation of up to 40%. Quenching of the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of purified Pgp was used to quantitate insecticide binding. Using the high-affinity fluorescent substrate, tetramethylrosamine, transport was monitored in real time in proteoliposomes containing H. armigera Pgp. The presence of Pgp could be one of the reasons for insecticide resistance in this pest. 相似文献

Disulfide bonds play an important role in protein stability and function. Here, we describe a general procedure for generating disulfide-linked dimers and multimers of proteins of known crystal structures. An algorithm was developed to predict sites in a protein compatible with intermolecular disulfide formation with neighboring molecules in the crystal lattice. A database analysis was carried out on 46 PDB coordinates to verify the general applicability of this algorithm to predict intermolecular disulfide linkages. On the basis of the predictions from this algorithm, mutants were constructed and characterized for a model protein, thioredoxin. Of the five mutants, as predicted, in solution four formed disulfide-linked dimers while one formed polymers. Thermal and chemical denaturation studies on these mutant thioredoxins showed that three of the four dimeric mutants had similar stability to wild-type thioredoxin while one had lower stability. Three of the mutant dimers crystallized readily (in four to seven days) in contrast to the wild-type protein, which is particularly difficult to crystallize and takes more than a month to form diffraction-quality crystals. In two of the three cases, the structure of the dimer was exactly as predicted by the algorithm, while in the third case the relative orientation of the monomers in the dimer was different from the predicted one. This methodology can be used to enhance protein crystallizability, modulate the oligomerization state and to produce linear chains or ordered three-dimensional protein arrays. 相似文献

A P-glycoprotein-like protein (Ha-Pgp) was detected in a membrane preparation from the insecticide-resistant pest Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctüidae) using C219 antibodies that are directed towards an epitope in the nucleotide-binding domains. This protein was partially purified and found to be a glycoprotein displaying ATPase activity. SDS-PAGE confirmed that a high molecular mass glycoprotein (150 kDa) was overexpressed in resistant pests, but was not detected in susceptible pests. The partially purified Ha-Pgp ATPase was reconstituted into proteoliposomes and it was found that some insecticides, namely, monocrotophos, endosulfan, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and methylparathion, stimulated the ATPase activity. The effect of various inhibitors on partially purified Ha-Pgp showed that orthovanadate is a potent inhibitor of its ATPase activity, inhibiting it by 90% at a concentration of 2 mmol/L. Other inhibitors, such as EDTA, sodium azide, and molybdate resulted in only a 20% decrease in activity. Details of the structure and function of Ha-Pgp will be important in the development of strategies to overcome insecticide resistance in this pest. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates mammalian development and metabolism, and its dysregulation is implicated in many inherited and acquired diseases, including cancer. Heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (HSGAGs) are essential for FGF signaling as they promote FGF·FGF receptor (FGFR) binding and dimerization. Using novel organic synthesis protocols to prepare homogeneously sulfated heparin mimetics (HM), including hexasaccharide (HM6), octasaccharide (HM8), and decasaccharide (HM10), we tested the ability of these HM to support FGF1 and FGF2 signaling through FGFR4. Biological assays show that both HM8 and HM10 are significantly more potent than HM6 in promoting FGF2-mediated FGFR4 signaling. In contrast, all three HM have comparable activity in promoting FGF1·FGFR4 signaling. To understand the molecular basis for these differential activities in FGF1/2·FGFR4 signaling, we used NMR spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, and size-exclusion chromatography to characterize binding interactions of FGF1/2 with the isolated Ig-domain 2 (D2) of FGFR4 in the presence of HM, and binary interactions of FGFs and D2 with HM. Our data confirm the existence of both a secondary FGF1·FGFR4 interaction site and a direct FGFR4·FGFR4 interaction site thus supporting the formation of the symmetric mode of FGF·FGFR dimerization in solution. Moreover, our results show that the observed higher activity of HM8 relative to HM6 in stimulating FGF2·FGFR4 signaling correlates with the higher affinity of HM8 to bind and dimerize FGF2. Notably FGF2·HM8 exhibits pronounced positive binding cooperativity. Based on our findings we propose a refined symmetric FGF·FGFR dimerization model, which incorporates the differential ability of HM to dimerize FGFs. 相似文献
