The primary structure of rat parathymosin.
Parathymosin has been isolated from rat thymus and from rat liver. Its primary structure is reported as follows: (Sequence; see text). The blocking group at the NH2 terminus was identified by mass spectrometry as acetyl. Regions homologous to amino acid sequences in prothymosin alpha were found to be located between residues 14-20, 23-25, 33-39, 41-43, and 83-87 of parathymosin.
متن کاملMolecular cloning of cDNA for human prothymosin alpha.
A cDNA library was constructed from human spleen mRNA and screened for clones containing cDNAs coding for prothymosin alpha. A clone containing a 503-base-pair insert including the entire coding sequence for the translated portion of the mRNA was isolated. The deduced amino acid sequence confirms and completes the partial sequence of human prothymosin alpha determined by protein sequencing meth...
متن کاملProthymosin alpha modulates the interaction of histone H1 with chromatin
Prothymosin alpha (ProTalpha) is an abundant acidic nuclear protein that may be involved in cell proliferation. In our search for its cellular partners, we have recently found that ProTalpha binds to linker histone H1. We now provide further evidence for the physiological relevance of this interaction by immunoisolation of a histone H1-ProTalpha complex from NIH 3T3 cell extracts. A detailed an...
متن کاملProthymosin-alpha and Ki-67 expression in pituitary adenomas.
INTRODUCTION Prothymosin alpha (PTMA), a nuclear oncoprotein involved in cell cycle regulation, is used as a prognostic marker in many cancers. The histopathology of pituitary carcinomas and locally invasive adenomas is indistinguishable from that of benign tumors. A new marker is needed to differentiate these lesions. We evaluated PTMA in pituitary adenomas to determine its usefulness as a pro...
متن کاملNovel function of prothymosin alpha as a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gene expression in primary macrophages.
CD8(+) T lymphocytes control human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection by a cytotoxic major histocompatibility complex-restricted pathway as well as by secretion of noncytotoxic soluble inhibitory factors. Several components of CD8(+) cell supernatants have been identified that contribute to the latter activity. In this study we report that prothymosin alpha (ProTalpha), a protein f...
