Properties of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor protein in flounder serum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The blood serum of the European flounder Platichthys flesus strongly inhibits soluble erythrocytic carbonic anhydrase from the same species. The inhibition is of the uncompetitive type. Hence, the mechanism of the carbonic anhydrase inhibition is different from that of all other known carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The serum showed no inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase from human and bovine red blood cells. By applying the (18)O exchange reaction, it could be demonstrated that the presence of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor in the extracellular fluid has no effect on carbonic anhydrase in intact red blood cells. Thus, this carbonic anhydrase inhibitor seems to act only within the plasma space of the circulatory system. However, the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor does appear to reduce the bicarbonate permeability of flounder red cells to approximately one-quarter of normal levels as measured by the (18)O exchange reaction. The 28 kDa carbonic anhydrase inhibitor was isolated from the serum by gel filtration. The isolated inhibitor was detected in acrylamide gels as a single band representing a 7 kDa protein. The denaturing conditions used in electrophoresis presumably led to a dissociation of the native protein into subunits.

Study of Glycation Process of Human Carbonic Anhydrase II and Investigation of Effect of Fasting On Enzyme Activity by Using Spectroscopic Methods
Background: Glycation is the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl groups in sugar and free amino groups in proteins. this reaction leads to changes in structure and functions of proteins. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is the final stage in this process, which is highly oxidizing and destructive nature, causing many diabetic complications. Methods: In the present investigation, ...
متن کاملEffect of long-term oral administration of extra thyroxine on oviductal expression of carbonic anhydrase and avidin-related protein-2 genes in broiler breeder hens
Avian sperm are stored in the sperm storage tubules (SSTs) of the hen oviduct for a prolonged period. The impact of avidin-related protein-2 (AVRP2) and carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) in sperm viability in the SSTs has been suggested. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of a high dose of thyroxine on the oviductal expression of AVRP2<...
متن کاملStimulation of renal sulfate secretion by metabolic acidosis requires Na+/H+ exchange induction and carbonic anhydrase.
The acute effect of metabolic acidosis on SO(4)(2-) secretion by the marine teleost renal proximal tubule was examined. Metabolic acidosis was mimicked in primary cultures of winter flounder renal proximal tubule epithelium (fPTCs) mounted in Ussing chambers by reducing interstitial pH to 7.1 (normally 7.7). fPTCs with metabolic acidosis secreted SO(4)(2-) at a net rate that was 40% higher than...
