Isolation of a 40-kDa Huntingtin-associated protein.
Huntington's disease is caused by an expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat coding for a polyglutamine stretch within the huntingtin protein. Currently, the function of normal huntingtin and the mechanism by which expanded huntingtin causes selective neurotoxicity remain unknown. Clues may come from the identification of huntingtin-associated proteins (HAPs). Here, we show that huntingtin copurifies...
متن کاملA novel 40-kDa membrane-associated EF-hand calcium-binding protein in Plasmodium falciparum.
A 40-kDa sexual stage radiolabeled surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum, Pfs40, was previously identified as a potential target antigen of transmission blocking immunity by an immunogenetic approach. Synthetic oligonucleotide "guessmers," based on microsequenced tryptic peptides of Pfs40 purified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, were used to clone the full length cDNA and genomic DNA...
متن کاملHuntingtin-associated protein 1: a potential biomarker of breast cancer.
It is reported that patients with Huntington's disease (HD) have a low incidence of cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression of huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1), the ligand of HD's production, in breast tumor and normal tissues. We found that HAP1 expression was significantly lower in tumor compared to normal tissues. We then transfected the HAP1 gene into the breast cancer l...
متن کاملIsolation of a cDNA clone encoding a high molecular weight precursor to a 6-kDa pulmonary surfactant-associated protein.
Mammalian surfactant is an incompletely defined mixture of lipids and associated proteins of molecular mass 35,000 Da and approximately 6,000 Da. Surfactant preparations which are highly effective in treating respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants lack the 35-kDa proteins, but contain the 6-kDa proteins. We isolated and partially sequenced one of these low molecular weight proteins ...
متن کامل23-kDa protein associated with CD40
CD40 is a 45-kDa glycoprotein member ofthe tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family expressed on B cells, thymic epithelial cells, dendritic cells, and some carcinoma cells. The unique capacity of CD40 to trigger immunoglobulin isotype switching is dependent on the activation of protein-tyrosine kinases, yet CD40 possesses no kinase domain and no known consensus sequences for binding to pro...
