Antitumoural activity of a cytotoxic peptide of Lactobacillus casei peptidoglycan and its interaction with mitochondrial-bound hexokinase
In a previous study, we reported the cytotoxic activity against various tumour cells of the peptidoglycan of Lactobacillus casei. To isolate the most active components, we performed column-chromatography separation of the peptidoglycan complex and tested the related fractions for their cytotoxic activity. The most active fractions were then lyophilized and the residue was analysed by gas chroma...
متن کاملAntioxidant activity of albumin-bound bilirubin.
Bilirubin, when bound to human albumin and at concentrations present in normal human plasma, protects albumin-bound linoleic acid from peroxyl radical-induced oxidation in vitro. Initially, albumin-bound bilirubin (Alb-BR) is oxidized at the same rate as peroxyl radicals are formed and biliverdin is produced stoichiometrically as the oxidation product. On an equimolar basis, Alb-BR successfully...
متن کاملMitochondrial rhodanese: membrane-bound and complexed activity.
We have proposed that phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of the mitochondrial sulfurtransferase, rhodanese, function as converter enzymes that interact with membrane-bound iron-sulfur centers of the electron transport chain to modulate the rate of mitochondrial respiration (Ogata, K., Dai, X., and Volini, M. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 204, 2718-2725). In the present studies, we have explored ...
متن کاملPartial purification of tightly bound mitochondrial hexokinase from maize (Zea mays L.) root membranes.
In mammals, hexokinase (HK) is strategically located at the outer membrane of mitochondria bound to the porin protein. The mitochondrial HK is a crucial modulator of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species generation. In plants, these properties related to HK are unknown. In order to better understand the physiological role of non-cytosolic hexokinase (NC-HK) in plants, we developed a purificatio...
متن کاملAntioxidant activity of synthetic diarylamines: a mitochondrial and cellular approach.
We investigated the antioxidant properties of two synthetic diarylamines, MJQ1 and MJQ2. For one of them (MJQ1) the synthesis procedure is herein described. The compounds showed maximal protection of ADP/Fe(2+) induced mitochondrial lipid peroxidation for 50nM (MJQ1) and 60muM (MJQ2) concentrations. Both compounds were also effective in the prevention of mitochondrial DeltaPsi collapse. The eff...
