Cloning and developmental expression of mouse aldehyde reductase (AKR1A4)
The aldo-keto reductase superfamily catalyzes the reduction of a broad range of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols. Here we report the cloning of the mouse aldehyde reductase cDNA and its embryonic pattern of expression. From stages E7.5 to E13.5 the gene encoding for this enzyme is expressed at high levels in several tissues, including the neural ectoderm, gut endoderm, somi...
متن کاملCloning, expression, and spectral analysis of mouse betatrophin
Background: Betatrophin, a novel secretory protein from liver and fatty tissues, is believed to be involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. However, its precise physiological role remains unclear. Here, we report the cloning, expression, and purification steps of mouse betatrophin in a prokaryotic system, followed by its structural analysis. Methods: Specific cloning primers were...
متن کاملNocardia sp. carboxylic acid reductase: cloning, expression, and characterization of a new aldehyde oxidoreductase family.
We have cloned, sequenced, and expressed the gene for a unique ATP- and NADPH-dependent carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) from a Nocardia species that reduces carboxylic acids to their corresponding aldehydes. Recombinant CAR containing an N-terminal histidine affinity tag had K(m) values for benzoate, ATP, and NADPH that were similar to those for natural CAR, and recombinant CAR reduced benzoic,...
متن کاملIsolation, molecular cloning and expression analysis of Aeluropus littoralis Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) gene under salt stress
Plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ROS). In this study, ...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning, Expression and Enzymatic Assay of Pteridine Reductase 1 from Iranian Lizard Leishmania
Background: Currently, there are no effective vaccines against leishmaniasis, and treatment using pentavalent antimonial drugs is occasionally effective and often toxic for patients. The PTR1 enzyme, which causes antifolate drug resistance in Leishmania parasites encoded by gene pteridine reductase 1 (ptr1). Since Leishmania lacks pteridine and folate metabolism, it cannot synthesize the pterid...
