How to unveil self-quenched fluorophores and subsequently map the subcellular distribution of exogenous peptides
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is the most popular technique for mapping the subcellular distribution of a fluorescent molecule and is widely used to investigate the penetration properties of exogenous macromolecules, such as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), within cells. Despite the membrane-association propensity of all these CPPs, the signal of the fluorescently labeled CPPs did ...
متن کاملTargeted Antimicrobial Peptides
stances, contributing to the mechanisms of host defenses, has been recognized since the late nineteenth century. In 1963, the in vitro antibacterial activity of leukocyte extracts was attributed to basic proteins. Since the late 1980s, cationic peptides with antimicrobial properties have been subsequently identified in other host cells and tissues and in virtually every living species (Lehrer, ...
متن کاملA study of permeability of lysosomes to amino acids and small peptides.
The latency of nitrocatechol sulphatase activity was measured in rat liver lysosomes before and after preincubation in 0.25m solutions of five amino acids, three dipeptides and a tripeptide. Rates of increase in ;free' activity were taken as an indication of rates of solute penetration into lysosomes and were correlated with the structure of each molecule studied. In general permeability was gr...
متن کاملPeptides glycosylated in the endoplasmic reticulum of yeast are subsequently deglycosylated by a soluble peptide: N-glycanase activity.
Several lines of evidence suggest that soluble peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) is involved in the quality control system for newly synthesized glycoproteins in mammalian cells. Here we report the occurrence of a soluble PNGase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzyme, which was recovered in the cytosolic fraction, has a neutral pH optimum, and dithiothreitol is required for activity. All o...
متن کاملGrowing Rats Are Resistant to Bone Loss Associated With Short-Term Hypercholesterolemia: A Preliminary Experimental Study
We aimed to evaluate the potential of growing rats as a model of osteoporosis induced by short term hypercholesterolemia. Twelve growing female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups. Control rats received standard diet while rats in group 2 were fed with diet contained 20% sunflower oil, 2% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid for 2 weeks and then a diet contained 10% sunflowe...
