Refined crystal structure and mutagenesis of human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
The crystal structure of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) has been refined against data extending to a resolution of approximately 2.4 A along a* and approximately 1.9 A along b* and c*. Anisotropic scale factors of B11 = -20.8 A2, B22 = 7.4 A2, B33 = 13.3 A2 corrected for the more rapid fall of diffraction in the a* direction. The anisotropy correla...
متن کاملAnnexin II increases osteoclast formation by stimulating the proliferation of osteoclast precursors in human marrow cultures.
Annexin II (AXII), a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, has been recently found to be an osteoclast (OCL) stimulatory factor that is also secreted by OCLs. In vitro studies showed that AXII induced OCL formation and bone resorption. However, the mechanism of action by which AXII acts as a soluble extracellular protein to induce OCL formation is unknown. In this paper, we demonstrat...
متن کاملMacrophage colony-stimulating factor induces substantial osteoclast generation and bone resorption in human bone marrow cultures.
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is essential for murine osteoclast formation and its role in human hematopoiesis in vitro is not fully defined. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of M-CSF on the formation of human osteoclasts in vitro. M-CSF was found to induce substantial bone resorption and osteoclast formation in a dose-responsive and time-dependent manner above that ind...
متن کاملProduction of Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor by Pichia pastoris
Human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) cDNA was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris under the control of the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter. An expression vector for hG-CSF secretion was constructed using vector pPIC9. Higher levels of hG-CSF was obtained using a P. pastoris Mut+ (methanol utilization fast) phenotype. The effects of environmental factors such as...
متن کاملX-ray crystal structure of human acidic fibroblast growth factor.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are mitogenic and chemotactic agents for a wide variety of cell types and play a primary role in the regulation of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is involved in a variety of critical physiological events including organogenesis, wound healing, ischemic collateral circulation, and solid tumor growth. High-resolution structural information is key to understanding the ...
