Characterization of Apoptosis-Related Oxidoreductases from Neurospora crassa
The genome from Neurospora crassa presented three open reading frames homologous to the genes coding for human AIF and AMID proteins, which are flavoproteins with oxidoreductase activities implicated in caspase-independent apoptosis. To investigate the role of these proteins, namely within the mitochondrial respiratory chain, we studied their cellular localization and characterized the respecti...
متن کاملProtoplasts from Neurospora crassa.
Weibull (1953) demonstrated that the intact protoplasts are liberated from cells of Bacillus megaterium after digestion of the cell wall by the enzyme lysozyme, and that these structures persist and exhibit many of the activities of the whole cell provided they are maintained in solutions of appropriate osmotic pressure. Since that time free protoplasts have been obtained from many other gram-p...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of arginase from Neurospora crassa.
We have purified an enzymatically active form of arginase from a wild-type strain of Neurospora crassa to homogeneity. The enzyme has a subunit molecular weight of 38,300 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native protein migrated as a hexamer during gel-filtration chromatography with an apparent molecular weight of 266,000. The enzyme exhibited hyper...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the tyrosinase gene from Neurospora crassa.
A precursor form of Neurospora crassa tyrosinase has been identified by Western transfer from crude protein extracts and by immunoprecipitation of in vitro translated tyrosinase mRNA. The molecular weight of protyrosinase (75,000) exceeds that of mature tyrosinase (46,000) by about 50%. In order to deduce the primary structure and the nature of the extension, the tyrosinase gene was cloned. Pol...
