Hyaluronidase from Tadpole Tissue.
The connective tissues of the tadpole undergo extensive remodeling during metamorphosis. In the resorbing tail fins of bullfrog tadpoles, there is a rapid degradation of collagen in the basement lamella coupled with dehydration and loss of the gelatinous core of the fin (1,2). The layers of the dense collagenous basement lamella are loosened, frayed, and invaded by mesenchymal cells.1 A collage...
متن کاملInsulin Degradation by Adipose Tissue
A systematic study of the degradation of physiological concentrations of 125I-labelled insulin was performed in intact fat-pads, isolated adipocytes and subcellular fractions of isolated adipocytes. The findings indicate that insulin is rapidly degraded to low-molecular-weight peptides and/or amino acids by the intact tissue and isolated cells. Of the total insulin-degradation products present ...
متن کاملIntracellular Survival of Leishmania major Depends on Uptake and Degradation of Extracellular Matrix Glycosaminoglycans by Macrophages
Leishmania parasites replicate within the phagolysosome compartment of mammalian macrophages. Although Leishmania depend on sugars as a major carbon source during infections, the nutrient composition of the phagolysosome remains poorly described. To determine the origin of the sugar carbon source in macrophage phagolysosomes, we have generated a N-acetylglucosamine acetyltransferase (GNAT) defi...
متن کاملInduced degradation of glycosaminoglycans in Hurler's and Hunter's syndromes by plasma infusion.
The effects of the administration of normal human plasma to patients affected by mucopolysaccharidoses I and II (Hurler's and Hunter's syndromes) have been evaluated. The infusion was followed by a decreased urinary excretion of relatively large molecular weight glycosaminoglycans and by an increased excretion of their products of degradation. Among the latter, products of the degradation of de...
متن کاملRegulation of proBACEl by Glycosaminoglycans
The !3-secretase (BACE1) is initially synthesized as a partially act ive zymogen contain ing a prodomain which can be furthe r activated th rough proteolytic cleavage of the prodomain by a fu rin-Iike protease.The active site of BACEl is large and although a number of high-affinity active-site inh ibitors of BACEl have been described, most of these compounds are large, polar and do not cross th...
