Isolation and characterization of Phi class glutathione transferase partial gene from Iranian barley
Glutathione transferases are multifunctional proteins involved in several diverse intracellular events such as primary and secondary metabolisms, signaling and stress metabolism. These enzymes have been subdivided into eight classes in plants. The Phi class, being plant specific, is the most represented. In the present study, based on the sequences available at GenBank, different primers were d...
متن کاملProcessing of thionin precursors in barley leaves by a vacuolar proteinase.
Thionins are synthesized as precursors with a signal peptide and a long C-terminal acidic peptide that is post-translationally processed. A fusion protein including the maltose-binding protein from Escherichia coli (MalE), thionin DG3 from barley leaves, and its acidic C-terminal peptide has been used to obtain antibodies that recognize both domains of the precursor. In barley leaf sections, ma...
متن کاملIsolation of a Penicillin Acylase Producing E.coli and Kinetic Characterization of the Whole Cell Enzyme Activity
Penicillin acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) has been a target of study for a long time because of its pivotal role in the deacylation of the penicillin into the 6- aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and the side-chain organic acids. This property of penicillin acylase has been exploited commercially for large scale production of 6-APA, which is the key intermediate in the manufacture of semi-synthetic penicil...
متن کاملTHE ISOLATION OF ENZYME TRANSKETOLASE FROM HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES: THE CHARACTERIZATION OF ITS QUARTERNARY STRUCTURE
Human erythrocyte transketolase (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate: D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, glycolaldehyde transferase, E.C. 2.2.1.1.) has been isolated from erythrocytes with a specific activity of 59.84 U/mg. SDS-PAGE and SE-HPLC were used both as a measure of purity and as a preparative mean to obtain a higher degree of purity. Four protein bands corresponding to molecular weights of 32,0...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Piper longum L.
Background and objectives: The cholinergic deficit correlates with the severity of Alzheimer’s disease. The cholinergic function can be improved by AChE inhibitors blocking this key enzyme in the breakdown of acetylcholine. Based on traditional medicine, during two last decades the use of herbal medicinal substances in dementia therapy has been studied. The fruit extract of <em...
