Evidence is presented that the hypoglycemic action of the human growth hormone fragment, Ile-Pro-Leu-Ser-Arg-Leu-Phe-Asp-Asn-Ala (hGH 4-15) is due to the interaction of hGH 4-15 with plasma membrane resulting in a time- and temperature-dependent release of a cellular mediator whi...

Calmodulin-dependent 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) Mr 63,000 and Mr 60,000 from the brain as well as Mr approximately 59,000 species from the heart, have been compared with respect to their steady-state kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of cAMP, cGMP...

The holopyruvate dehydrogenase is characterized by the charge transfer complex formation between tryptophan residue and thiamine pyrophosphate in each of two active centres. Interaction of apoenzyme with one mole of 2-hydroxyethyl thiamine pyrophosphate results in appearance of t...

In human cerebrospinal fluid, aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, and carboxypeptidase which were capable of hydrolyzing enkephalins were detected. Among these enzymes, two distinct aminopeptidase, designated C-AP1 and C-AP2, were partially pur...

A new procedure utilizing saccharose density gradient centrifugation was developed for the purification of beta-adrenergic receptor rich plasma membrane from rabbit heart ventricle tissue. The separation of the plasma membrane fraction from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochon...

The immunoaffinity purification of human placenta DNA primase devoid of DNA polymerase alpha activity is described. Primase consists of 52 and 59 kDa polypeptides. They form a single protein of 330 kDa under native conditions. The polypeptide structure of primase is believed to b...

Synapsin I plays an important role in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, since it binds to synaptic vesicles and to the cytoskeleton, and it bundles F-actin and microtubules. We have previously shown by tryptic digestion of synapsin I that a 44 kDa fragment contains a bi...

Genus Plasmodium comprises of various single cell protozoans, transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes [1], which causes the world’s most devastating human parasitic infection called malaria [2]. Fevers caused by Plasmodium falciparum occur sometimes at 48-hour intervals which ...

Bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) was reconstituted into lipid bilayers by a dilution method using n-octylglucopyranoside. From the kinetic measurements at various pressures, the volume of activation (delta V not equal to) and volume change in substrate binding ...

The non-exchangeable base and sugar protons of the dodecanucleotide d(CAATCCGGATTG) have been assigned by the combined use of one and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The sequential assignments of the base and sugar protons have been obtained using two dimensional nuclear Overha...

The accessibility of nascent polypeptides with special structural elements to the ribosome was investigated. Poly(C), poly(C, U) and poly(C, A) mRNAs were translated by E. coli ribosomes in vitro. The resulting peptides which were rich in prolines, remained on the ribosomal parti...

Starvation is characterized by rapid loss in liver weight, with marked decrease in total liver RNA and nuclear RNA. Decrease in in vivo nuclear RNA synthesis as measured by radioactive precursor incorporation is a significant contributing factor. Limited digestion of nuclei from ...

Optimal conditions for the labelling of proteins with [35S]methionine in monolayers of rat hepatocytes have been established. The ability to incorporate the radioactive amino acid was constant for at least 26 h and independent of whether the medium was buffered with CO2/HCO3 or w...

A nuclear glycoprotein with an apparent Mr of 66,000 Da has been isolated from pig kidney chromatin after extraction with urea, guanidine-HCl and 2 M NaCl, and some of its structural features have been characterized. It belongs to the group of N-glycosylated proteins, which in th...
