Small intestinal beta-galactosidase activity in the horse.
Two enzymes having lactase activity are present in the equine small intestine. The first, the digestive enzyme, neutral beta-galactosidase, declines in activity from birth to three years, disappearing completely between 3 and 4 years of age. The other, the soluble lysosomal enzyme, acid beta-galactosidase, having affinity for lactose and a synthetic beta-galactoside, shows a decrease in activit...
متن کاملSenescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity expression in aging hippocampal neurons.
To investigate the activity of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-GAL) in the hippocampus of aging rats. Hippocampi of 6-, 18-, and 24-month-old rats were observed by histochemical staining for SA-beta-GAL and cytochemical staining for SA-beta-GAL in cultured hippocampal neurons. The activity of SA-beta-GAL doubled in hippocampal pyramidal cells of the CA3 region in rats between ...
متن کاملDifferential expression of three alpha-galactosidase genes and a single beta-galactosidase gene from Aspergillus niger.
A gene encoding a third alpha-galactosidase (AglB) from Aspergillus niger has been cloned and sequenced. The gene consists of an open reading frame of 1,750 bp containing six introns. The gene encodes a protein of 443 amino acids which contains a eukaryotic signal sequence of 16 amino acids and seven putative N-glycosylation sites. The mature protein has a calculated molecular mass of 48,835 Da...
متن کاملTransgalactosylation activity of ebg beta-galactosidase synthesizes allolactose from lactose.
ebg enzyme, the second beta-galactosidase of Escherichia coli, does not normally convert lactose into an inducer of the lac operon. We previously reported the existence of a mutant ebg enzyme that does make such an inducer in vivo (Rolseth et al., J. Bacteriol. 142:1036-1039, 1980). Here I report that the mutant enzyme makes inducer from lactose in vitro and that the inducer is allolactose. Al...
متن کاملUse of fluorescein-di-beta-D-galactopyranoside (FDG) and C12-FDG as substrates for beta-galactosidase detection by flow cytometry in animal, bacterial, and yeast cells.
Fluorescein-di-beta-D-galactopyranoside (FDG) was found to be a useful substrate for beta-galactosidase detection by flow cytometry in gram-negative bacteria, since it entered viable cells and gave a fluorescence emission proportional to the enzymatic activity. C12-FDG, a more lipophilic derivative, gave a very poor signal because of the lack of penetration. On the contrary, C12-FDG was more se...
