Chemical modification studies on Abrus agglutinin. Involvement of tryptophan residues in sugar binding.
The galactose-binding lectin from the seeds of the jequirity plant (Abrus precatorius) was subjected to various chemical modifications in order to detect the amino acid residues involved in its binding activity. Modification of lysine, tyrosine, arginine, histidine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues did not affect the carbohydrate-binding activity of the agglutinin. However, modification...
متن کاملChemical modification of a xylanase from a thermotolerant Streptomyces. Evidence for essential tryptophan and cysteine residues at the active site.
Extracellular xylanase produced in submerged culture by a thermotolerant Streptomyces T7 growing at 37-50 degrees C was purified to homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. The purified enzyme has an Mr of 20,463 and a pI of 7.8. The pH and temperature optima for the activity were 4.5-5.5 and 60 degrees C respectively. The enzyme retained 100% of its ...

15 صفحه اولChemical modification of arginine residues of rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase.
Rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1) is inactivated by phenylglyoxal following pseudo-first order kinetics. The dependence of the apparent first order rate constant for inactivation on the phenylglyoxal concentration shows that the inactivation is second order in reagent. This fact together with the reversibility of inactivation upon removal of excess reagent and the lack of reaction...
متن کاملStructure-function studies of cholera toxin and its A and B protomers. Modification of tryptophan residues.
The tryptophan residues on cholera toxin and its A and B protomers have been modified by reaction with 2-nitrophenylsulfenyl chloride and 2,4-dinitrophenylsulfenyl chloride. Modification of the tryptophan residues of cholera toxin results in complete loss of toxicity measured in a skin permeability assay. Modification of cholera toxin and its B protomer results in the complete loss of binding a...
