Comparison of lipid aggregation and self-aggregation activities of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A.
1. We compared the Ca2+ dependence of the self-aggregation of surfactant protein A (SP-A) with that of vesicle aggregation induced by SP-A. The Ca2+ concentration required for half-maximal activity of lipid aggregation was 0.74 +/- 0.29 microM (n = 4) for pig SP-A and 98 +/- 5 microM (n = 2) for dog SP-A. In contrast, the threshold concentration of Ca2+ required to induce self-association of bo...
متن کاملSelf-aggregation of surfactant protein A.
Environmental factors of physiological relevance such as pH, calcium, ionic strength, and temperature can affect the state of self-aggregation of surfactant protein A (SP-A). We have studied the secondary structure of different SP-A aggregates and analyzed their fluorescence characteristics. (a) We found that self-aggregation of SP-A can be Ca(2+)-dependent. The concentration of Ca(2+) needed f...

Pulmonary surfactant is a heterogeneous complex of lipids and proteins that serves to stabilize the alveoli and distal airways at low lung volumes. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is widely accepted to be the major lipid component of pulmonary surfactant. In addition to DPPC, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and specific proteins are required for the full biological activity of surfactant. At le...

testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...
