Squalene synthase-deficient mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells.
Squalene synthase (farnesyldiphosphate:farnesyldiphosphate farnesyltransferase, EC 2.5.1.21) converts farnesyl pyrophosphate to squalene, the first metabolic step committed solely to the biosynthesis of sterols. Using a fluorescence-activated cell sorting technique designed to screen for cells defective in the regulated degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, w...
متن کاملPurification of phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase from Chinese hamster ovary cells.
Phosphatidylglycerophosphate (PGP) synthase catalyses the committed step in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin in mammalian cells. Recently we isolated a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) PGS1 cDNA encoding PGP synthase. In the present study we purified this PGP synthase to near-homogeneity from the mitochondrial fraction of CHO-K1 cells; the final enzyme preparation gave a sing...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF HUMAN PROTEINASE 3 IN CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS (CHO-CELLS)
Proteinase 3(PR3) is a human polymorphonuclear leukocyte serine proteinase and is the main target antigen for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) found in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). We developed a stable expression system for conformationally intact recombinant PR3 (rPR3) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-cells). The part of PR3 cDNA that encoded the active form of PR3 was s...
متن کاملIntracellular Localization of FLAG-Peroxisomal Protein in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
Epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant DNA techniques. The aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (PEP) cDNA into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a chimeric PEP-cDNA containing the FLAG epitope. The FLAG-PEP recombinant cDNA was construc...
متن کاملInterphase Death of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Exposed to Accelerated Heavy Ions
Introduction: Heavy ions are nucleus of elements of iron, argon, carbon and neon that all carry positive electrical charges. For these particles to be useful in radiotherapy they need to accelerated to high energy by more than thousand mega volts. Also the cosmic environment is considered to be a complicated mixture of highly energetic photons and heavy ions such as iron. Therefore, the health ...
