Amino-acid sequence of fragment A, an enzymically active fragment from diphtheria toxin.
The amino-acid sequence of Fragment A from diphtheria toxin is reported. Fragment A (molecular weight, Mr, 21,145) is the major enzymically active fragment produced upon activation of the intact toxin (Mr about 60,000) by limited tryptic digestion and reduction. It, or a similar fragment, is believed responsible for the inhibition of protein synthesis in animal cells exposed to the toxin. Fragm...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of an enzymically active fragment of papain.
Evidence has been presented earlier (2, 3) that leucine aminopeptidase can degrade about two-thirds of the molecule of mercuripapain, liberating free amino acids, without altering the enzymic activity of the papain when it is reactivated. Although several experimental results supported this conclusion, the best evidence came from two types of observations: first, new amino end groups different ...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence of a fragment of rabbit muscle aldolase.
Cleavage of rabbit muscle aldolase by cyanogen bromide results in the formation of four fragments of different size [1]. Study of the primary structure of the enzyme has been based on the examination of these fragments [1, 2]. Because of the insolubility and associated problems due to the relatively large size of the fragments Lai [1], as well as Anderson et al. [3], used pyridine-acetic acid b...
متن کاملExpression of diphtheria toxin fragment A and hormone-toxin fusion proteins in toxin-resistant yeast mutants.
Mutants of the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae, previously selected for resistance to diphtheria toxin, were investigated for their suitability as hosts for the expression of tox-related proteins. The structural gene for the toxin, encoding the fragment A catalytic domain, was modified for efficient intracellular expression in eukaryotes and placed downstream of the yeast GAL1 promoter eleme...
متن کاملChimeric toxins: toxic, disulfide-linked conjugate of concanavalin A with fragment A from diphtheria toxin.
A disulfide-linked conjugate of concanavalin A (Con A) and fragment A from diphtheria toxin has been synthesized and shown to be toxic for HeLa (human), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), and SV3T3 (murine) cells. The conjugate was constructed by first coupling cystamine to Con A with a carbodiimide reagent and then reacting the modified Con A with reduced fragment A under conditions promoting disulf...
