A fatty-acid-binding protein from wheat kernels.
A protein of about 7 kDa (W-FABP) has been isolated from mature wheat kernels by H2O extraction and gel filtration of the extract, followed by two steps of high-performance liquid chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid-sequence has been determined up to the 28th residue and found to be identical (except for positions 4 and 5) to that deduced from a barley cDNA (EMBL X15257), which had been i...
متن کاملFatty acid-binding protein from embryonic chick retina resembles mammalian heart fatty acid-binding protein.
PURPOSE Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) make up a family of cytosolic proteins of unknown function found in many tissues, including the embryonic chick retina. To further understand its function in the developing retina, the protein from embryonic chicks was purified and characterized. The tissue distribution of this protein in embryonic and hatched chicks was determined using polyclonal ant...
متن کاملModeling fatty acid delivery from intestinal fatty acid binding protein to a membrane.
Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) interacts with biological membranes and delivers fatty acid (FA) into them via a collisional mechanism. However, the membrane-bound structure of the protein and the pathway of FA transfer are not precisely known. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with an implicit membrane model to determine the optimal orientation of apo- and holo-IFABP (b...
متن کاملEnterocyte fatty acid uptake and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein.
This article reviews our current understanding of the uptake of fatty acids by the enterocytes of the intestine. The micellar solubilization of fatty acids by bile salts and the factors regulating that process are discussed. The mechanism of how micellar solubilization of fatty acids promotes the uptake of fatty acids by enterocytes and their relative importance is reviewed. Additionally, discu...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Fatty Acid Binding Protein from Fasciola gigantica
Fatty acid binding protein (FADP) is an attractive vaccine candidate and a drug target for controlling fasciolosis caused by Fasciola gigantica in ruminants. The cDNA encoding F. gigantica FADP was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and expressed in Escherichia coli as a recombinant protein using a prokaryotic expression system. The protein was purified to homogeneity by nickel chelating af...
