Cxvi. the Enzymic Deamidation of Asparagine
THE occurrence of asparagine in the higher plant and its role in protein metabolism have formed the subject of numerous investigations. It has been found that the amount normally present in the green plant is very small and it is only under artificial conditions, associated with a carbohydrate deficiency, that an accumulation of this substance is ever obtained. E. Schulze [1906], in a series of...
متن کاملMyelostimulatory activity of recombinant human interleukin-2 in mice.
In a series of studies designed to extend our understanding of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and to study the effect of biologic response modifiers on bone marrow, we observed that administering recombinant human (rH) IL-2 to normal mice resulted in an increase in the frequency of colony-forming units-culture (CFU-C) in bone marrow. In addition, rH IL-2 was able to accelerate host recovery from cyclopho...
متن کاملTransamination and associated deamidation of asparagine and glutamine.
With this system, no deamidation of glutamine occurred in the absence of a-keto acid, and, with all keto acids tested except two (pyruvate and a-ketobutyrate), transamination was absent or extremely slow when glutamate was substituted for glutamine. Experiments with W-labeled glutamine indicated that the ammonia evolved during this reaction was derived from t.he amide group of glutamine. Althou...
متن کاملAsparagine deamidation and the role of higher order protein structure.
The 'protein world' exhibits additional complexity caused by post-translational modifications. One such process is nonenzymic deamidation of asparagine which is controlled partly by primary sequence, but also higher order protein structure. We have studied the deamidation of an N-terminal peptide in muscle glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase to relate three-dimensional structure, proteolys...
متن کاملEffect of deamidation of asparagine 146 on functional and structural properties of human lens alphaB-crystallin.
PURPOSE To elucidate the effect of deamidation on the structural and functional properties of human alphaB-crystallin. METHODS Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate three deamidated mutants of alphaB-crystallin: N78D, N146D, and N78D/N146D. The mutations were confirmed by DNA sequencing and matrix-assisted desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Recombinan...
