Synthesis of folate polyglutamates in human cells.
1. Synthesis of polyglutamate derivatives from radioactively labelled folic acid, folinic acid and methotrexate has been studied in human phytohaemagglutinin-transformed lymphocytes. 2. With labelled folic acid as the precursor, approximately 20% of the labelled cell folate was found in each of the mono-, tetra-, penta- and hexaglutamate peaks after 72 h of incubation. At earlier times, the amo...
متن کاملLocalization and characterization of γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase in cancer cells.
Using differential display analysis, we have identified a novel rat gene whose expression is increased during tumor progression in rat mammary carcinoma cell lines. This gene is an ortholog of the human chromosome 7 open reading frame 24 gene (C7orf24) and encodes a protein of 188 amino acids with no recognized protein domains. C7orf24 has been identified as γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT), ...
متن کاملPlant fatty acid (ethanol) amide hydrolases.
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) plays a central role in modulating endogenous N-acylethanolamine (NAE) levels in vertebrates, and, in part, constitutes an "endocannabinoid" signaling pathway that regulates diverse physiological and behavioral processes in animals. Recently, an Arabidopsis FAAH homologue was identified which catalyzed the hydrolysis of NAEs in vitro suggesting a FAAH-mediated ...
متن کاملγ-Glutamyl Spermine Synthetase PauA2 as Potential Target of Antibiotic
22 23 Polyamines are absolute requirements for cell growth. When in excess, P. aeruginosa possesses 24 six γ-glutamylpolyamine synthetases (GPSs) encoded by the pauA1-pauA7 genes to initiate 25 polyamine catabolism. Recently, the pauA2 mutant was reported to lose the capability to grow on 26 spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd) as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. Although this mutant 27 grew no...
متن کاملAssociation of γ-glutamyl transferase with premature coronary artery disease
Accumulating evidence from epidemiological studies suggests that higher γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels in the blood are associated with the incident of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including atherosclerosis, and have prognostic importance. However, to the best of our knowledge, the association of the GGT level with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in an Asian Indian population has ...
