Roles of heavy and light chains in IgM polymerization.
IgM antibodies are secreted as multisubunit polymers that consist of as many as three discrete polypeptides: mu heavy chains, light (L) chains, and joining (J) chains. We wished to determine whether L chains that are required to confer secretory competence on immunoglobulin molecules must be present for IgM to polymerize--that is, for intersubunit disulfide bonds to form between mu chains. Usin...
متن کاملMechanism of immunoglobulin A polymerization.
Employing mercaptoethylamine as a reducing agent, it was demonstrated by analytical ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that polymeric immunoglobulin A (IgA) was reduced to a 10 S dimer and 7 S monomer, and that dimer IgA was more resistant to reductive cleavage than the higher polymers. When dimer and monomer IgA were subjected to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels i...
متن کاملKINETICS AND MECHANISM OF GRAFT POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE ONTO STARCH INITIATED WITH POTASSIUM PERSULFATE
A new potassium persulfate redox system has been investigated for the graft polymerization of vinyl monomers. In this study potassium persulfate system was used for initiation the polymerization. Graft polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto starch (Sta) was carried out in aqueous solution using potassium persulfate (I) redox system. It was found that the percentage of grafting and rate of gr...
متن کاملInhibition of Heme Polymerization, the Mechanism of Antimalarial Activity in Phlomis caucasica Rech.f. (Lamiaceae)
Background: Malaria is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world caused by Plasmodium species. The malaria parasite digests hemoglobin in vacuole to amino acids and heme. Plasmodium has got several detoxification mechanisms to protect itself from toxic heme. The most important mechanism is heme polymerization. Identifying compounds that inhibit heme polymerization is an approach...
متن کاملThe strength of B cell interaction with antigen determines the degree of IgM polymerization.
The induction of variable disulfide polymerization of IgM in the trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and its effect on its half-life were examined. An association between greater Ab affinity and increased disulfide polymerization was first indicated by the observation of this increased IgM disulfide polymerization during the process of affinity maturation. A direct association between Ab affinity and d...
