Purification and characterization of phenoloxidase from brine shrimp Artemia sinica.
Phenoloxidase from Artemia sinica (AsPO) was purified by Superdex 200 gel-filtration and Q Sepharose fast flow ion-exchange chromatography, and its properties were characterized biochemically and enzymatically by using L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as the specific substrate. Results showed that AsPO was isolated as a monomeric protein of 125.5 kDa in molecular mass. The optimal pH value and...
متن کاملN-Acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidases of the Brine Shrimp Artemia: Partial Purification and Characterization
N-Acetyl-ß-D-hexosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.52) from Artemia nauplii were isolated and char acterized. Three different enzymes I, II, and II2 were separated according to their behaviour on anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration columns. Their apparent molecular masses were 83,000 ± 7000, 110,000 ± 10,000 and 56,000 ± 5000 Da with corresponding S-values o f 8.6, 11.9 and 7.9. All three enz...
متن کاملPurification and properties of GTP:GTP guanylyltransferase from encysted embryos of the brine shrimp Artemia.
GTP:GTP guanylyltransferase has been purified from the yolk platelets of Artemia cysts. The 480-kDa enzyme catalyzes the reversible reaction 2GTP<==>Gp4G + PPi and contains immunologically related polypeptides of 142, 88, and 45 kDa and a distinct 80-kDa component. The 88 and 45 kDa species can be covalently labeled with [alpha-32P]GTP. Even in crude extracts, the enzyme appears to be partially...
متن کاملThe structure of Artemia sp. (brine shrimp) haemoglobins. Purification of a structural unit to homogeneity.
The extracellular haemoglobins (Mr 260 000) of the brine shrimp Artemia sp. were cleaved by limited digestion with subtilisin. Structural units of Mr 16 000, which can bind dioxygen reversibly, were isolated. Analysis of the 16 000-Mr fraction (E) reveals the presence of a limited number of structural units. A single type of structural unit, E1 (Mr 15 800; pI4.8), was purified to homogeneity an...
متن کاملMolecular phylogenetics and asexuality in the brine shrimp Artemia.
Explaining cases of long-term persistence of parthenogenesis has proven an arduous task for evolutionary biologists. Interpreting sexual-asexual interactions though has recently advanced owing to methodological design, increased taxon sampling and choice of model organisms. We inferred the phylogeny of Artemia, a halophilic branchiopod genus of sexual and parthenogenetic forms with cosmopolitan...
