Amino acid composition and terminal residues of aspartate aminotransferase from ox heart.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The amino acid composition of highly purified aspartate aminotransferase from ox heart was determined. 2. Alanine is the only N-terminal residue. 3. Leucine was identified as the only C-terminal residue. 4. No disulphide bridges are present in the enzyme molecule. 5. The thiol groups are not equally accessible, the accessibility being comparatively easier in the apoenzyme molecule.

Complete amino acid sequence of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart muscle. Tryptic peptides.
The amino acid sequences of 39 tryptic peptides from carboxymethylated mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart muscle were analyzed. The peptides were purified by gel filtration, ion exchange column chromatography, paper chromatography, and high voltage paper electrophoresis, and their sequences were examined by manual Edman degradation, carboxypeptidase digestion, and fragmenta...
متن کاملKynurenine aminotransferase and glutamine transaminase K of Escherichia coli: identity with aspartate aminotransferase.
The present study describes the isolation of a protein from Escherichia coli possessing kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) activity and its identification as aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT). KAT catalyses the transamination of kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine to kynurenic acid and xanthurenic acid respectively, and the enzyme activity can be easily detected in E. coli cells. Separation of t...
متن کاملThe structure of tyrosine aminotransferase. Evidence for domains involved in catalysis and enzyme turnover.
The primary structure of tyrosine aminotransferase, as deduced from the nucleotide sequence of complementary DNA, was confirmed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of tryptic peptides derived from the purified protein. Limited digestion of the native enzyme with trypsin released an acetylated, amino-terminal peptide; the new amino terminus in the modified enzyme was Val65. Endogenous pro...
متن کاملThe Increased Level of Serum p53 in Hepatitis B-Associated Liver Cirrhosis
Background: The ability of tumour suppressor protein p53 (P53) to regulate cell cycle processes can be modulated by hepatitis B virus (HBV). While preliminary evidences indicates the involvement of protein-x of HBV (HBx) in altering p53 DNA binding, no further data have been accumulated for the significance of serum p53 in chronic hepatitis B virus infected patients. Methods: 72 non-cirrhotic a...
متن کاملA spin label substrate analogue as active site-directed modifying agent. Tryptophan 140 of aspartate aminotransferase.
The interaction of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase with the spin probe substrate analogue potassium nitrosodisulfonate (NDS) has been investigated using the a-subform of the pig heart enzyme. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies show that NDS binds to the enzyme. Scatchard plots with different concentrations of NDS are linear and show the presence of two binding sites/dirner (KO = 0.7...
