Phycobilin:cystein-84 biliprotein lyase, a near-universal lyase for cysteine-84-binding sites in cyanobacterial phycobiliproteins.
Phycobilisomes, the light-harvesting complexes of cyanobacteria and red algae, contain two to four types of chromophores that are attached covalently to seven or more members of a family of homologous proteins, each carrying one to four binding sites. Chromophore binding to apoproteins is catalyzed by lyases, of which only few have been characterized in detail. The situation is complicated by n...
متن کاملScreening of Alginate Lyase-Producing Bacteria and Optimization of Media Compositions for Extracellular Alginate Lyase Production
Background: Alginate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of guluronate (polyG) and mannuronate (polyM) subunits. Methods: In the initial screening of alginate-degrading bacteria from soil, 10 isolates were able to grow on minimal medium containing alginate. The optimization of cell growth and alginate lyase (algL) production was carried out by the addition of 0.8% alginate and 0.2-0.3 M NaCl ...
متن کاملPTH(1-84)/PTH(7-84): a balance of power.
This review considers many new basic and clinical aspects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We focus especially on the identification of PTH fragments and how they may relate to renal failure, diagnosis, and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy. The biosynthesis and metabolism of PTH, measurement of circulating forms of PTH, the effects of PTH on receptor activation a...
متن کاملCharacterization of iduronate sulphatase mutants affecting N-glycosylation sites and the cysteine-84 residue.
Iduronate sulphatase (IDS) is responsible for mucopolysaccharidosis type II, a rare recessive X-linked lysosomal storage disease. The aim of this work was to evaluate the functional importance of each N-glycosylation site, and of the cysteine-84 residue. IDS mutant cDNAs, lacking one of the eight potential N-glycosylation sites, were expressed in COS cells. Although each of the potential sites ...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of cyanobacterial phycobiliproteins
Cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae) are a morphologically diverse and widely distributed group of photosynthetic prokaryotes which exhibit oxygenic (O2evolving) photosynthesis similar to plants (Stanier and Cohen-Bazire, 1977). They are among the oldest life forms on earth which evolved around 2.4 billion years ago (Fischer, 2008). Comprising about 150 genera with more than 2000 species, they exhi...
