The antibody against a nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein can result in reproductive failure.
To study whether the antibody against the testis form of the nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (tNASP) could result in reproductive failure, we successfully cloned and expressed a 339-bp cDNA fragment of mouse tNASP (mtNASP). Using mouse as a model, recombinant mtNASP (rmtNASP) and a synthetic peptide, human tNASP(393-408) (htNASP(393-408)), were investigated for their antifertility effect. A...
متن کاملAUXIN BINDING PROTEIN1: the outsider.
AUXIN BINDING PROTEIN1 (ABP1) is one of the first characterized proteins that bind auxin and has been implied as a receptor for a number of auxin responses. Early studies characterized its auxin binding properties and focused on rapid electrophysiological and cell expansion responses, while subsequent work indicated a role in cell cycle and cell division control. Very recently, ABP1 has been as...
متن کاملHistone acetylation modulates uncoupling protein1 expression in brown adipocytes
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a classical feature of brown adipocytes and understanding its regulatory mechanism will help in the development of a pharmacological approach for obesity and associated metabolic diseases. The epigenetic regulation of UCP1 in brown adipocytes is not completely understood. Our study is focused on histone deacetylases (HDACs), which are set of enzymes that bring abo...
متن کاملHistone H1 and evolution of sperm nuclear basic proteins.
The Three Main Groups of Sperm Nucleus Basic Proteins (SNBPs) In early studies on the chemical composition of the cell nucleus, it was found that the nucleic acid initially called “nuclein” (1) could form salt-like linkages with two different complexing substances, referred to as “protamine” (2) and “histone” (3). By the end of the nineteenth century, the true protein nature of these complexing...
متن کاملThe human histone chaperone sNASP interacts with linker and core histones through distinct mechanisms
Somatic nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (sNASP) is a human homolog of the N1/N2 family of histone chaperones. sNASP contains the domain structure characteristic of this family, which includes a large acidic patch flanked by several tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs. sNASP possesses a unique binding specificity in that it forms specific complexes with both histone H1 and histones H3/H4. ...
