Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies from coeliac patients inhibit transglutaminase activity both in vitro and in situ.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Coeliac disease (CD) is a multifactorial disorder which has an autoimmune component characterised by the occurrence of disease specific autoreactive antibodies against the enzyme tissue transglutaminase (tTG). The aim of this study was to investigate whether binding of antibodies to the enzyme influences tTG activity. METHODS tTG activity was assayed in the presence of imm...
متن کاملCalmodulin regulates nucleotide hydrolysis activity of tissue transglutaminase.
The interaction of calmodulin with purified guinea pig liver transglutaminase was studied. The nucleotide (ATP and GTP) hydrolysis activity of this tissue transglutaminase was transiently increased and then gradually decreased depending on calmodulin concentration. The peak activation was obtained in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of calmodulin. The effect of calmodulin on the classica...
متن کاملLocal tissue Transglutaminase activity directs experimental Multiple Sclerosis pathology
A critical pathogenic aspect of multiple sclerosis (MS) is the influx of immunomodulatory cells into the central nervous system (CNS) leading to neurological deficits. We here provide evidence that tissue Transglutaminase (TG2) is an attractive therapeutic target for MS that, in contrast to other MS therapies, is acting locally. During MS and its animal model chronic-relapsing EAE (cr-EAE), TG2...
متن کاملAtPng1p. The first plant transglutaminase.
Studies have revealed in plant chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell walls, and cytoplasm the existence of transglutaminase (TGase) activities, similar to those known in animals and prokaryotes having mainly structural roles, but no protein has been associated to this type of activity in plants. A recent computational analysis has shown in Arabidopsis the presence of a gene, AtPng1p, which encodes a...
