Chinese hamster ovary cells deficient in peroxisomes lack the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein 2).
Chinese hamster ovary cells deficient in intact peroxisomes were compared with wild type cells for the presence of the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsL-TP; sterol carrier protein 2). With the immunoblotting technique using the affinity purified antibody against rat liver nsL-TP, this protein was shown to be present in the homogenates from wild type cells, but could not be detected in mut...
متن کاملNonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein-2) defective in patients with deficient peroxisomes.
The biosynthesis and intracellular localization of nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) in control human subjects and in patients with peroxisome-deficient disorders were investigated. The molecular mass of human nsLTP was indistinguishable from that of rat nsLTP (13 kDa) by immunoblot analysis. Intracellular localization was identical with that of catalase, a marker enzyme of peroxisomal...
متن کاملSterol Carrier Protein-2, a Nonspecific Lipid-Transfer Protein, in Intracellular Cholesterol Trafficking in Testicular Leydig Cells
Sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP2), also called nonspecific lipid-transfer protein, is thought to play a major role in intracellular lipid transport and metabolism, and it has been associated with diseases involving abnormalities in lipid trafficking, such as Zellweger syndrome. The Scp2 gene encodes the 58 kDa sterol carrier protein-x (SCPX) and 15 kDa pro-SCP2 proteins, both of which contain a 1...
متن کاملAmyloid precursor protein processing in sterol regulatory element-binding protein site 2 protease-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells.
Amyloid peptides of 39-43 amino acids (Abeta) are the major constituents of amyloid plaques present in the brains of Alzheimer's (AD) patients. Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the yet unidentified beta- and gamma-secretases leads to the generation of the amyloidogenic Abeta peptides. Recent data suggest that all of the known mutations leading to early onset fami...
متن کاملIntracellular Localization of FLAG-Peroxisomal Protein in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
Epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant DNA techniques. The aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (PEP) cDNA into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a chimeric PEP-cDNA containing the FLAG epitope. The FLAG-PEP recombinant cDNA was construc...
