Properties of Leishmania major dUTP nucleotidohydrolase, a distinct nucleotide-hydrolysing enzyme in kinetoplastids.
We have previously reported the presence, in the parasitic protozoan Leishmania major, of an enzyme involved in controlling intracellular dUTP levels. The gene encoding this enzyme has now been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity. Biochemical and enzymic analyses of the Leishmania enzyme show that it is a novel nucleotidohydrolase highly spe...
متن کاملDescription of a novel eukaryotic deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase in Leishmania major.
A Leishmania major full-length cDNA encoding a functional dUTP nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase; EC 3.6.1.23) was isolated from a cDNA expression library by genetic complementation of dUTPase deficiency in Escherichia coli. The cDNA contained an open reading frame that encoded a protein of 269 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 30.3 kDa. Although eukaryotic dUTPases exhibit ext...
متن کاملMutants of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi e defective in dTTP-dUTP nucleotidohydrolase.
Mutants of bacteriophage phie inducing only 1 to 5% of wild-type levels of dTTP-dUTP nucleotidohydrolase give normal bursts of viable progeny phage whose DNA contains 5 to 10% thymine (but no uracil) in place of 5-hydroxymethyluracil. The relative heat lability of one phage mutant enzyme solubilized from the membrane fraction of infected cells suggests that a phie gene codes for the induced dTT...
متن کاملPurification and properties of a mouse liver plasma-membrane glycoprotein hydrolysing nucleotide pyrophosphate and phosphodiester bonds.
1. A mouse liver plasma-membrane preparation was solubilized in an N-dodecylsarcosinate-Tris buffer, pH7.8, and the proteins and glycoproteins were separated by a rate-zonal centrifugation in sucrose-detergent gradients. 2. A peak of alkaline phosphodiesterase activity which sedimented ahead of the 5'-nucleotidase peak was associated with a major glycoprotein component of the plasma membrane. 3...

چکیده پایان نامه (شامل خلاصه، اهداف، روش های اجرا و نتایج به دست آمده): کار جمع آوری گو یش های محلی در سال های اخیر شتاب امیدوار کننده ای به خود گرفته است. شاید از بارزترین اهداف جمع آوری گویش های مختلف، ثبت و ضبط آن، جلوگیری از نابودی و مهمتر از همه حل مشکلات دستوری زبان رسمی باشد. دقت در فرآیند های زبانی گویش های محلی نوع ارتباط مردم نواحی مختلف با پیرامون نشان را به ما نشان خواهد داد. از س...
