The membrane-binding segment of dopamine beta-hydroxylase is not an uncleaved signal sequence.
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase exists in bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin granules in both soluble and membrane-bound forms. The mechanism by which membranous dopamine beta-hydroxylase is bound to granule membranes has been elusive. Recently, evidence that covalently attached phosphatidylinositol does not serve as an anchor for membranous dopamine beta-hydroxylase was reported (Stewart, L. C., and ...
متن کاملExpression and Secretion of Human Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor Using Escherichia coli Enterotoxin I Signal Sequence
With the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli, hGM-CSF cDNA was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of ST toxin (ST-I) of exteroxigenic E. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. The fused STsig::hGM-CSF coding fragments were inserted into a T7-based expression plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were ...
متن کاملSingle amino acid substitutions can convert the uncleaved signal-anchor of sucrase-isomaltase to a cleaved signal sequence.
A hydrophobic segment near the amino terminus (positions 12-32) of rabbit sucrase-isomaltase functions both as a membrane anchor and as a signal sequence for translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum. Unlike most signal sequences, that of sucrase-isomaltase is not cleaved by signal peptidase. Using in vitro transcription and translation systems, we have found that substitution of a single pr...
متن کاملActivin-mediated mesoderm induction requires FGF.
The early patterning of mesoderm in the Xenopus embryo requires signals from several intercellular factors, including mesoderm-inducing agents that belong to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and TGF-beta families. In animal hemisphere explants (animal caps), basic FGF and the TGF-beta family member activin are capable of converting pre-ectodermal cells to a mesodermal fate, although activin i...
متن کاملRegulation of Escherichia coli secA by cellular protein secretion proficiency requires an intact gene X signal sequence and an active translocon.
secA is translationally regulated by the protein secretion proficiency state of the Escherichia coli cell. This regulation was explored by making signal sequence mutations in the gene upstream of secA, gene X, which promotes secA translational coupling. Gene X signal sequence mutants were constitutive for secA expression, while prlA alleles partially restored secA regulation. These results show...
