Molecular cloning, baculovirus expression, and tissue distribution of the zebrafish aldehyde dehydrogenase 2.
Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde mainly by the alcohol dehydrogenase pathway and, to a lesser extent, through microsomal oxidation (CYP2E1) and the catalase-H(2)O(2) system. Acetaldehyde, which is responsible for some of the deleterious effects of ethanol, is further oxidized to acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs), of which mitochondrial ALDH2 is the most efficient. The aim of ...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Mutagenesis of Rat Glucocerebrosidase Gene
Purpose: The aim of this study was cloning the Gba enzyme in pUCBM21 plasmid, and making frame mutation on it and sequencing it. Materials and methods: mRNA was extracted from mouse spleen and glucocerebrosidase cDNA was synthesized and amplified by PCR with specific primers. cDNA was cloned in pUCBM21 and analyzed by restriction enzymes. A fragment of its sequence was deleted using MscI restr...
متن کاملIdentification of the covalently bound flavin of dimethylglycine dehydrogenase and sarcosine dehydrogenase from rat liver mitochondria.
Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.2) and sarcosine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.1) are the folate binding proteins of rat liver mitochondria. These two enzymes contain covalently bound flavin and catalyze similar oxidative demethylation reactions (Wittwer, A. J., and Wagner, C. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 4102-4108). Flavin-peptides have been purified from these two enzymes after proteolytic ...
متن کاملCloning of chicken 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 and its tissue distribution.
11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11HSD1) is an enzyme that interconverts active 11-hydroxy glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosterone) and their inactive 11-oxo derivatives (cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone). Although bidirectional, it is considered to operate in vivo as an 11-reductase that regenerates active glucocorticoids and thus amplifies their local activity in mammals. Here...
متن کاملMOLECULAR CLONING AND EVALUATION OF WILD PROMOTER IN EXPRESSION OF BACILLUS SPHAERICUS PHENYLALANINE DEHYDROGENASE GENE IN BACILLUS SUBTILIS CELLS
To evaluate the role of wild promoter of L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) gene, referred to as pdh, from Bacillus sphaericus in expression, cloning of pdh gene in Bacillus subtilis was performed. The whole pdh gene was cloned in pHY300PLK shuttle vector and amplified, construct (pHYDH) then transformed in B. subtilis ISW1214 and E. coli JM109. The pdh endogenous promoter presented no effec...
