Characterization of regional proteins
نویسنده
چکیده
The proteins of epididymal tissues and fluids recovered from five regions of the human epididymis were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Among the 60 peptides identified, eight appeared to be expressed solely in the epididymal duct when compared to serum and testis proteins. Three of these (92, 47 and 24 Kd) showed a degree of regional specificity in fluids. The 92 Kd peptide was found in the caput and proximal corpus, the 47 Kd in the distal corpus and cauda and the 24 Kd in the caput of the epididymis. Three of the specific epididymal proteins (39, 30, 26 Kd) displayed a remarkable analogy to those found in man and monkey in other conditions and which are present at the sperm surface in the epididymis cauda.

CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH MOBILITY GROUP NONHISTONE PROTEINS FROM DIFFERENTIATED NEUROPHILIC GRANULOCYTES
The quantitative changes of the high mobility group (HMG) nonhistone chromosomal proteins in nondividing, differentiated peritoneal exudate neutrophils were identified by their solubility, electrophoretic mobility on both SDS and acetic acid gels, densitometric traces and elution profile on CM-sephadex. The results indicated that in neutrophils, HMGl undergoes a considerable reduction (80%...

Abiotic stresses are the most important factors that reduce the yield of crops. In this case, Bioinformatics analysis plays an important role to study genes, and their relatedness as well as prediction their function in response to abiotic stresses. Among all domains, ARID-PHD domain has been identified in plants and animals and has a very significant role in growth regulation, cell cycle, and ...
متن کاملOsmolyte-Induced Folding and Stability of Proteins: Concepts and Characterization
It is well-known that the typical protein’s three-dimensional structure is relatively unstable in harsh conditions. A practical approach to maintain the folded state and thus improve the stability and activity of proteins in unusual circumstances is to directly apply stabilizing substances such as osmolytes to the protein-containing solutions. Osmolytes as natural occurring organic molecules ty...

متن کاملCharacterization of regional land subsidence induced by groundwater withdrawals in Tehran, Iran
Generally, alluvial basins of arid and semiarid zones are the places with excessive groundwater withdrawal, and also they have a high potential for land subsidence. Excessive groundwater withdrawals have caused severe land subsidence in Tehran, Iran. At present, the maximum land subsidence rate is 36 cm/year, covering an area of nearly 530 km2. In the 2000s, as a result of economic and populati...

Background: Subunit vaccines are appropriate vaccine candidates for the prevention of some infections. In this study, three immunogenic proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including HspX, Ppe44, and EsxV as a new construction, were expressed alone and as a fusion protein to develop a new vaccine candidate against tuberculosis infection. Methods: To make the fusion protein, the three genes ...
