Regulation of peptide amidation in cultured pituitary cells.
The intermediate lobe of the pituitary contains the alpha-amidated peptide alpha-melanotropin and high levels of a copper and ascorbate-dependent peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) capable of converting peptides terminating in -X-Gly into amidated products (-X-NH2). As reported previously, the ability of cultured intermediate pituitary cells to produce alpha-amidated alpha-mela...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Peptide & - Amidation Activity from Rat Anterior Pituitary
A secretory granule associated enzymatic activity from the rat anterior pituitary that can convert the synthetic peptide D-Tyr-Val-Gly into D-Tyr-Val-NH2 is described. Due to the presence of inhibitory activity in the cytosol and rough endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus fractions, the a-amidation activity is barely detectable in crude rat anterior pituitary homogenates. The a-amidation activ...
متن کاملExocrine secretion granules contain peptide amidation activity.
Exocrine secretion granules from the rat parotid gland contain a carboxyl-terminal peptide alpha-amidation enzyme resembling closely an enzyme from the pituitary (peptidyl-glycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase) that functions in post-translational processing of secretory polypeptides within neural and endocrine secretion granules. alpha-Amidation is a characteristic (often essential) chemical f...
متن کاملPituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide induces neurite outgrowth in cultured monkey trigeminal ganglion cells: Involvement of receptor PAC1
PURPOSE Our previous studies in the rabbit trigeminal nerve (TgN) showed that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) accelerated the extension of neuronal processes and recovery of corneal sensitivity. The purposes of the present study were 1) develop a procedure to culture trigeminal nerve (TgN) cells from monkeys, 2) test whether PACAP induces sprouting and elongation of axons...
متن کاملCharacterization of natriuretic peptide receptors in cultured cells.
To elucidate physiological and clinical implications of the natriuretic peptide family, the expression of receptors for natriuretic peptides has been examined in cultured cells (a rat pheochromocytoma cell line [PC12], bovine endothelial cells, rat aortic smooth muscle cells, human mesangial cells, and a porcine kidney epithelial cell line [LLC-PK1]) by Northern blot analysis and cyclic GMP pro...
