Characterization of human glucocerebrosidase from different mutant alleles.
Human cDNA was mutagenized to duplicate six naturally occurring mutations in the gene for glucocere-brosidase. The mutant genes were expressed in NIH 3T3 cells. The abnormal human enzymes were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography and characterized. The Asn370----Ser mutant protein differed from normal enzyme in its inhibition by both conduritol B epoxide and glucosphingosine demonstrating ...
متن کاملExpression of mutated glucocerebrosidase alleles in human cells.
Gaucher disease is a heterogeneous disease characterized by impaired activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. This heterogeneity is attributed to a large number of mutations in the corresponding gene. In order to test the biochemical properties of some mutations prevalent among Israeli populations, the normal human glucocerebrosidase cDNA and cDNAs carrying mutations N370S, L444P, D...
متن کاملGaucher disease: isolation and comparison of normal and mutant glucocerebrosidase from human spleen tissue.
Glucocerebrosidase was purified 26,000-fold from spleens from normal humans and from patients with Gaucher disease (Gaucher spleens). The specific activities of the purified normal and mutant enzymes with glucocerebroside as substrate were 8.5 X 10(5) and 5.4 X 10(4) nmol/mg of protein per hr, respectively. The ratio of enzymatic activities was constant throughout the isolation procedure. The t...
متن کاملCharacterization of Nucleoprotein Extracted from Human Influenza A Virus Cultured in Two Different Cell Lines
Background and Aims: Influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) has the capacity to be used as subunit vaccine, but little is known about the impact of different cultures on its structure. In the present study we aimed to evaluate and compare the Isoelectric focusing (IEF) property of extracted viral nucleoproteins derived from Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line and embryonated chicken eggs (EC...
متن کاملCharacterization of Salmonellae isolated from different animal and human sources by PCR and resistance trends
Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...
