Intra-molecular Conformational Stability in Human Growth Hormone

Molecular Mutations in the Human Growth Hormone Axis

Thyroid hormone responsiveness in human growth hormone-related genes. Possible correlation with receptor-induced DNA conformational changes.

Triiodothyronine (T3) induces the transcription of the human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) promoter transfected into rat pituitary (GC) cells, but does not stimulate the homologous human growth hormone (hGH) promoter. As demonstrated by forward and reverse mutagenesis, this differential T3 responsiveness is due to subtle structural differences in a T3 response element located between nucleo...

Conformational similarity of ovine prolactin and bovine growth hormone.

The behavior and properties of ovine prolactin have been evaluated by measurements of fluorescence, polarization of fluorescence, absorption, optical rotation, and circular dichroism. The helical content of the native molecule at pH 8 is 60 per cent as determined by circular dichroism. Three molecular transitions have been followed. The one in acid affects only 20 per cent of the helical residu...
