Binding of retinol induces changes in rat cellular retinol-binding protein II conformation and backbone dynamics.
The structure and backbone dynamics of rat holo cellular retinol-binding protein II (holo-CRBP II) in solution has been determined by multidimensional NMR. The final structure ensemble was based on 3980 distance and 30 dihedral angle restraints, and was calculated using metric matrix distance geometry with pairwise Gaussian metrization followed by simulated annealing. The average RMS deviation ...
متن کاملAcyl-CoA-independent esterification of retinol bound to cellular retinol-binding protein (type II) by microsomes from rat small intestine.
Cellular retinol-binding protein (type II) (CRBP(II)), a newly described retinol-binding protein, is present in the small intestinal absorptive cell at high levels. Retinol (vitamin A alcohol) presented as a complex with CRBP(II) was found here to be esterified by microsomal preparations from rat small intestinal mucosa. The esterification observed utilized an endogenous acyl donor(s) and produ...
متن کاملLocalization of cellular retinol-binding protein in several rat tissues.
The distribution of cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) in rat liver, ileum, and epididymis was examined by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunolocalization technique. Positive cytoplasmic staining was seen in the liver when antiserum prepared against purified CRBP was used but not when antiserum absorbed with purified CRBP was used. Ileal mucosa, a tissue that contains no detectable CRBP, ...
متن کاملColchicine inhibition of retinol-binding protein secretion by rat liver.
Studies were conducted to explore the effects of colchicine on the secretion and metabolism of retinol-binding protein (RBP) by the liver. In the vitamin A-deficient rat, the rate of secretion of RBP from the liver into the serum is greatly reduced, and RBP accumulates in the liver. Injection of retinol (dispersed in a 20% Tween 40 solution) into deficient rats stimulated a rapid secretion of R...
متن کاملInteraction of the retinol/cellular retinol-binding protein complex with isolated nuclei and nuclear components
Retinol (vitamin A alcohol) is involved in the proper differentiation of epithelia. The mechanism of this involvement is unknown. We have previously reported that purified cellular retinol-binding (CRBP) will mediate specific binding of retinol to nuclei isolated from rat liver. We now report that pure CRBP delivers retinol to the specific nuclear binding sites without itself remaining bound. T...
