Avian riboflavinuria IX. Qualitative action of a mutant gene in chicken on riboflavin-binding protein synthesis.
Laying chickens normally produce a riboflavin-binding protein (RBP) essential for the transfer of vitamin B2 to the egg. A mutant line of chickens (rdrd) is incapable of synthesizing functional RBP. The rdrd laying hens contain a component in the liver and the magnum of the oviduct which cross-reacts with rabbit antiserum specific for RBP. No crossreacting material (CRM) was observed in eggs or...
متن کاملDephosphorylation of chicken riboflavin-binding protein and phosvitin decreases their uptake by oocytes.
Riboflavin-binding protein (RBP) and phosvitin are phosphoglycoproteins transferred from the plasma of laying hens into the yolk of developing oocytes. We have examined the effect of phosphate removal on this yolk deposition process. Unmodified yolk RBP and phosvitin contain, respectively, 8.3 and 109 residues of phosphate/molecule. Complete dephosphorylation of yolk RBP caused a 20-min decreas...
متن کاملThe Early Stages of Heart Development: Insights from Chicken Embryos
The heart is the first functioning organ in the developing embryo and a detailed understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in its formation provides insights into congenital malformations affecting its function and therefore the survival of the organism. Because many developmental mechanisms are highly conserved, it is possible to extrapolate from observations made in inve...
متن کاملRiboflavin-binding protein exhibits selective sweet suppression toward protein sweeteners.
Riboflavin-binding protein (RBP) is well known as a riboflavin carrier protein in chicken egg and serum. A novel function of RBP was found as a sweet-suppressing protein. RBP, purified from hen egg white, suppressed the sweetness of protein sweeteners such as thaumatin, monellin, and lysozyme, whereas it did not suppress the sweetness of low molecular weight sweeteners such as sucrose, glycine,...
متن کاملT-Cell Development in Early Partially Decapitated Chicken Embryos
We have evaluated the immunohistological and cytofluorometric changes that occur in the thymus of chicken embryos partially decapitated at 33-38 hr of incubation (DCx embryos) in an attempt to analyze possible neuroendocrinological influences on T-cell differentiation and, indirectly, the ontogeny of the so-called neuroendocrine-immune network. The thymus of DCx embryos shows important variatio...
