Erythroid and nonerythroid spectrins.
Recent developments have contributed important information to understanding the role of spectrins in the RBC membrane skeleton and nonerythroid cells. Many questions can now be framed, informed by structural knowledge of various spectrin subunit types and alternatively spliced variants, that previously could not have been addressed. Their solution in the coming years will likely lead to further...
متن کاملEnzymatic characteristics of chimeric mYc/rYc1 glutathione S-transferases.
Mice are resistant to aflatoxin carcinogenicity primarily due to expression of a glutathione S-transferase (mYc) with high catalytic activity toward aflatoxin B1-8,9-epoxide (AFBO). In contrast, rats are more sensitive to aflatoxin carcinogenicity due to the constitutive expression of a glutathione S-transferase with relatively low catalytic activity toward AFBO (rYc1). To identify the contribu...
متن کاملEnzymatic activity of lipase
The knowledge of the digestive system of bullfrogs is an important step for the determination of their nutritional requirements throughout growth phases. With the objective of evaluating the enzymatic activity of lipase in the intestinal content of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802), 100 animals with median weight of 3.6 g were distributed in stalls under controlled temperature and photope...
متن کاملAxonal spectrins: All-purpose fences
A membrane barrier important for assembly of the nodes of Ranvier is found at the paranodal junction. This junction is comprised of axonal and glial adhesion molecules linked to the axonal actin-spectrin membrane cytoskeleton through specific adaptors. In this issue, Zhang et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201308116) show that axonal βII spectrin maintains the diffusion ...
متن کاملTriggering enzymatic activity with force.
Integrating single molecule force spectroscopy with fluorescence-based techniques allows the manipulation of an enzyme with a periodic stretching and relaxation protocol while simultaneously monitoring its catalytic activity. After releasing the stretching force we observe a higher probability for enzymatic activity at a time of 1.7 s. A detailed theoretical analysis reveals that the relaxation...
