Brain L-glutamate decarboxylase: purification and subunit structure.
Glutamate decarboxylase (GDCase; L-glutamate-1-carboxy-lyase, EC 4.1.1.15) was purified from whole rat brain approximately equal to 1300-fold to apparent homogeneity with a specific activity of 2.4 units per mg of protein by a combination of column chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, and gel filtration, and preparative nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purif...
متن کاملBrain Glutamate Decarboxylase
Glutamate decarboxylase (glutamate 1-carboxylyase, EC 4.1.1.15, GAD)* IS the major, rate-limiting enzyme in brain for synthesizing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Total GAD activity in brain is 10-20 times greater than the observed rate of GABA synthesis (Collins, 1972; Matsui and Deguchi, 1977; Casu and Gale, 1981), indicating that GAD operates at only a fraction of its capacity. Although othe...
متن کاملPartial Cloning and Nucleotide Sequencing of Glutamate Decarboxylase Gene Isoform 65 from Human Brain
Background: Gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammalians. The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is responsible for the conversion of L-glutamate to GABA. The human brain has two isoforms of this enzyme, GAD65 and GAD67 that differ in molecular weight, amino acid sequence, antigenicity, cellular location ...
متن کاملPurification and general properties of glutamate decarboxylase from Clostridium perfringens.
1. A seven-step procedure for preparing highly purified glutamate decarboxylase from Clostridium perfringens is described. 2. The homogeneity of the pure enzyme was established by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation and starch-gel electrophoresis. 3. The isoelectric point of the pure enzyme is about pH4.5 and the molecular weight is 290000. 4. The pH optimum for activity is 4.7. The pure en...
متن کاملCrystallization and Subunit Structure of Histidine Decarboxylase
Histidine decarboxylase from Lactobacillus 30u has been crystallized in a variety of forms which together indicate a revised subunit structure for the native particle. Octahedral crystals of the wild type enzyme obtained at room temperature from ammonium sulfate solutions in microdiffusion cells belong to tetragonal space group 14122 with a = b = 222 A and c = 107.5 A. Trigonal and hexagonal pl...
