Extracellular processing of amphoterin generates a peptide active on erythroleukaemia cell differentiation.
The release of amphoterin by murine erythroleukaemia cells exposed to the chemical inducer hexamethylenebisacetamide represents an essential step for the process of their terminal differentiation. Once exported in the culture medium, amphoterin undergoes limited proteolysis, catalysed by a serine proteinase also secreted by stimulated cells. The isolated proteinase is responsible for degradatio...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Protein A Signal Peptide on Extracellular Expression of Recombinant Hirudin in E.Coli
Abstract Background and Objective: Hirudin is an anticoagulant polypeptide secreted from the salivary glands of leeches. Recombinant hirudin is a strong anticoagulant agent in arterial and venous thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inserting protein A signal peptide sequence of pEZZ18 plasmid on expression and secretion...
متن کاملEndogenous viral antigen processing generates peptide-specific MHC class I cell-surface clusters.
Sensitivity is essential in CD8+ T-cell killing of virus-infected cells and tumor cells. Although the affinity of the T-cell receptor (TCR) for antigen is relatively low, the avidity of T cell-antigen-presenting cell interactions is greatly enhanced by increasing the valence of the interaction. It is known that TCRs cluster into protein islands after engaging their cognate antigen (peptides bou...
متن کاملRegulation of cell migration by amphoterin.
Amphoterin, a major form of HMG (high mobility group) 1 proteins, is highly expressed in immature and malignant cells. A role in cell motility is suggested by the ability of amphoterin to promote neurite extension through RAGE (receptor of advanced glycation end products), an immunoglobulin superfamily member that communicates with the GTPases Cdc42 and Rac. We show here that cell contact with ...
متن کاملInfluence of the extracellular matrix on type 2 cell differentiation.
Growth and division of type II pulmonary epithelial cells are important components of the pathway by which the alveolar surface is repaired following several forms of lung injury. These processes, which result in reepithelialization of the denuded alveolar basement membrane, involve loss of type II cell differentiation and transition to a type I epithelium. As in other cells, the extracellular ...
