The ACT STATIS method, a multi-table comparison, was applied to 62 Rosa species to be clustered into four sections (Carolinae, Cinnamomeae, Pimpinellifoliae and Synstylae); the data sets were dealing with morphology (15 criteria), anthocyanin pattern (10 compounds), flavonol heteroside pattern (26 compounds) and superoxide dismutase isozyme (SOD) polymorphism (11 bands). This method appeared ve...

Salmonid fish, as a result of total genome duplication, have two genes, Ldh H and Ldh H’, coding for polypeptides H and H’, respectively, both of which have been shown in their tetrameric forms to be immunologically related to the classical Hq lactate dehydrogenase isozyme of higher vertebrates (BAILEY, G. S., AND WILSON, A. C. (1968) J. Biol. Chem. 243, 5843). The H4 and H’4 isozymes have now ...

Recently, we isolated 3 protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes from rat brain (Huang et al., 1986a). Using isozyme-specific antibodies for immunoblot, we have determined the relative levels of each isozyme in various regions of the rat brain (Huang et al., 1987b). The present paper describes the cellular distributions of PKC isozymes in rat brain as determined by light microscopic immunocytochemistry....

'13Cd NMR of the "3Cd(II)-substituted zinc metalloenzymes, human and bovine erythrocyte carbonic anhydrases, is reported. The high activity isozymes, human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase, isozyme C (HCAC) and bovine erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase, isozyme B (BCAB), are characterized by relatively narrow '13Cd resonances around 220 ppm to lowfield of Cd(C104)Z. These resonances are relatively in...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with limited survival rate. Roles for peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) have been studied in relation to a range cancers roles epigenetic regulation (including histone modification and microRNA regulation), cancer invasion, extracellular vesicle (EV) release. Hitherto though, knowledge on PADs PDAC limited. In c...

Two isozymes of horse liver aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldehyde, NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3)), F1 and F2, have been purified to homogeneity using salt fractionation followed by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The specific activities of the two isozymes in a pH 9.0 system with propionaldehyde as substrate were approximately 0.35 and 1.0 mumol of NADH/min/mg of protein for the F1...

Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), with its resultant inhibition of fatty acid synthesis and stimulation of fatty acid oxidation, has the potential to favorably affect the multitude of cardiovascular risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome. To achieve maximal effectiveness, an ACC inhibitor should inhibit both the lipogenic tissue isozyme (ACC1) and the oxidative tissue iso...
