Mitochondrial 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 کاملDemonstration of rhodanese activity in polyacrylamide gels.
Rhodanese activity from crude extracts of Thiobacillus sp. strain IV-85 was demonstrated in polyacrylamide gels after incubation in the reaction mixture by staining with dichloroindophenol in the presence of methylphenazonium methosulfate. The sensitivity of the staining system was found to be 8 x 10 moles of sulfite.
متن کاملQuantification of Detergents Complexed with Membrane Proteins
Most membrane proteins studies require the use of detergents, but because of the lack of a general, accurate and rapid method to quantify them, many uncertainties remain that hamper proper functional and structural data analyses. To solve this problem, we propose a method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) that allows quantification of pure or ...
متن کاملPlasma membrane bound Ca2+-ATPase activity in bull sperm.
The acrosome reaction in vertebrate sperm has been shown to be essential for fertilisation [ 11. The process involves fusion and vesiculation of sperm head plasma membranes and the underlying outer acrosomal membrane, resulting in the exocytotic release of acrosomal enzymes. Yanagamachi and Usui have demonstrated that sperm have an absolute requirement for Ca*’ during the acrosome reaction [2]....
متن کاملRole of lindane in membranes. Effects on membrane fluidity and activity of membrane-bound proteins.
The influence of lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) on fluidity of plasma membranes from rat renal cortical tubules has been investigated. Preincubation with lindane increased membrane fluidity. This effect was accompanied by (i) a decrease in the transport of glucose with regard to the controls and (ii) an inhibition of the beta-adrenergic stimulatory activity upon cyclic AMP accumulation. ...
