3-Hydroxykynurenine transaminase identity with alanine glyoxylate transaminase. A probable detoxification protein in Aedes aegypti.
This study describes the functional characterization of a specific mosquito transaminase responsible for catalyzing the transamination of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) to xanthurenic acid (XA). The enzyme was purified from Aedes aegypti larvae by ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat treatment, and various chromatographic techniques, plus non-denaturing electrophoresis. The purified transaminase ha...
متن کاملCharacterization of peroxisomal targeting signals on alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase.
Proteins destined for the peroxisome matrix or membrane possess distinct targeting signals that engage signal sequence receptors to drive their transport to their final subcellular destination. Peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (PTS1) and 2 (PTS2) are well characterized as signaling the import from the cytosol into the peroxisomal matrix of soluble peroxisomal enzymes. The expression vectors of th...

متن کاملThe subcellular distribution of rat liver L-alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase in relation to a pathway for glucose formation involving glyoxylate.
1. The distribution of l-alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase activity between subcellular fractions prepared from rat liver homogenates was investigated. The greater part of the homogenate activity (about 80%) was recovered in the ;total-particles' fraction sedimented by high-speed centrifugation and the remainder in the cytosol fraction. 2. Subfractionation of the particles by differential sed...
متن کاملStructure of GroEL in complex with an early folding intermediate of alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase.
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase gene (AGXT). We have previously shown that P11L and I340M polymorphisms together with I244T mutation (AGXT-LTM) represent a conformational disease that could be amenable to pharmacological intervention. Thus, the study of the folding mechanism of AGXT is crucial to u...
