Evidence that tropoelastin is the primary precursor in elastin biosynthesis.
Tropoelastin, a 70,000-dalton protein, appears to be a soluble intermediate in the biosynthesis of insoluble elastin. Recently, Foster et al. (Foster, J. A., Mecham, R. P., Rich, C. B., Cronin, M. F., Levine, A., Imberman, M., and Salcedo, L. L. (1978) J. Biol. Chem 253, 27972803) have presented evidence for the existence of a 120,000to 130,000-dalton intermediate designated proelastin. This p...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of membrane-bound nitrate reductase in Escherichia coli: evidence for a soluble precursor.
Membrane-bound nitrate reductase of Escherichia coli consists of three subunits designated as A, B, and C, with subunit C being the apoprotein of cytochrome b, A hemA mutant that cannot synthesize delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) produces a normal, stable, membrane-bound enzyme when grown with ALA. When grown without ALA, this mutant makes a reduced amount of membrane-bound enzyme that is unstab...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of calcitonin gene-related peptide and calcitonin by a human medullary thyroid carcinoma cell line.
cDNA analyses predict that the human calcitonin gene encodes the two precursor proteins of calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The mRNAs for the putative precursors of these peptides are derived from alternative processing of the primary transcript of this gene. The 75 amino-terminal residues of each preprohormone are predicted to be identical. We have developed the TT human ...
متن کاملPrecursor directed biosynthesis of aureobasidins.
The antifungal antibiotic aureobasidin A (AbA) is a cyclic depsipeptide composed of eight amino acids and a hydroxy acid. New Ab analogs were produced by feeding various amino acids to Aureobasidium pullulans R 106 c-712 in a chemically-defined medium containing glucose and ammonium sulfate. The constituent amino acids of AbA at positions 3 (L-phenylalanine), 4 (N-methyl-L-phenylalanine), 5 (L-...

At least 10 clifferent metabolic pathwvavs leadling to the formation of malonlate have beenl rieported. The enzymes participatiing in these pathways include: AcetylCoA carboxylase (6, 10, 11, 20, 37), transcarboxylase (1, 10, 14, 15, 16, 24), thiokinase and thioesterase (11), barbiturase (12), malonic senmialdehyde dehydrogenase (22, 31, 32), B-alanine transaminase (18), AcylCoA-CO., exchange (...
