Molecular cloning, expression and characterization of pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase.
Pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase is a PLP (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) (a coenzyme form of vitamin B6)-independent aminotransferase which catalyses a reversible transamination reaction between pyridoxamine and pyruvate to form pyridoxal and L-alanine. The gene encoding the enzyme has been identified, cloned and overexpressed for the first time. The mlr6806 gene on the chromosome of a symbioti...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning, Characterization, and Expression of Cuc m 2, a Major Allergen in Cucumis melo
Background: Several studies reported the clinical features of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ingestion of melon. Melon allergy is a common IgE-mediated fruit allergy in Iran. This prompted us to investigate immunochemical and molecular properties of the major allergen in melon fruit, to compare the IgE-binding capacity of the natural protein with the recombinant allergen, and to determine ...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, expression and characterization of ribokinase of Leishmania major.
Ribokinase (EC 2.1.7.15) from Leishmania major was cloned, sequenced and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The gene expressed an active enzyme that had comparable activity to the same enzyme studied in E. coli. It specifically phosphorylated D-ribose. Under defined conditions, the K(m) for the substrates D-ribose and ATP were 0.3+/-0.04 mM and 0.2+/-0.02 mM, respectively. The turnover numbers ...

A new member of the connexin gene family has been identified and designated rat connexin-3 1 (Cx3 1) based on its predicted molecular mass of 30,960 daltons. Cx31 is 270 amino acids long and is coded for by a single copy gene. It is expressed as a 1.7-kilobase mRNA that is detected in placenta, Harderian gland, skin, and eye. Cx31 is highly conserved and can be detected in species as distantly ...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization
Human folate-binding proteins (FBPs) are single chain glycoproteins that contain a high affinity binding site for folates and methotrexate and occur in a soluble or membrane-associated form. The membrane-associated FBP is involved in the uptake of physiologic folates and methotrexate. In this study, human FBP cDNA clones were isolated from human malignant nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KB) cell and ...
