Phosphatidylinositol-degrading enzymes in liver lysosomes.
The major pathway by which liver lysosomal enzymes degrade phosphatidylinositol is through an EDTA-insensitive formation of phosphorylinositol. This is in distinct contrast with the Ca2+-dependent production of phosphorylinositol from phosphatidylinositol, which is located in the cytosol. Lysosomal enzymes can also totally deacylate phosphatidylinositol, producing glycerophosphorylinositol.
متن کاملLignin-degrading enzymes
The substantial potential applications of lignin-degrading microbes and enzymes have spurred research on lignin biodegradation in recent years. As described here, that research has led to the discovery in the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium of the first lignin-degrading enzymes and elucidation of their mode of action. A family of powerful extracellular peroxidase isoenzymes has been t...
متن کاملDextran-degrading Enzymes from Molds1
Enzymes capable of degrading dextran, the polymer of glucose produced from sucrose by the action of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and related organisms, are potentially valuable for fundamental research as well as for practical application. Although the a-i ,6-glucopyranosidic linkage is present to the extent of 95 per cent or more in some easily obtainable dextrans, the only other known occurrence...
متن کاملTryptophan-Degrading Enzymes in Tumoral Immune Resistance
Tryptophan is required for T lymphocyte effector functions. Its degradation is one of the mechanisms selected by tumors to resist immune destruction. Two enzymes, tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1, control tryptophan degradation through the kynurenine pathway. A third protein, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2, was identified more recently. All three enzymes were reported...
متن کاملIsolating Lysosomes from Rat Liver.
This protocol describes the generation of a fraction enriched in lysosomes from rat liver. The lysosomes are rapidly isolated using density-gradient centrifugation with gradient media that retain the osmolarity of the lysosomes such that they are functional and can be used in in vitro assays.
