Studies on tyrosine hydroxylase from bovine adrenal medulla.
Approximately 90% of the total tyrosine hydroxylase activity of bovine adrenal medulla homogenates was localized in the particulate fraction of the homogenate. The particulate enzyme was solubilized by incubation with trypsin, and the solubilized enzyme was partially purified. This enzyme was found to behave like the tyrosine hydroxylase which had been purified from the supernatant fraction by ...
متن کاملTyrosine hydroxylase in secretory granules from bovine adrenal medulla. Evidence for an integral membrane form.
Intact secretory granules isolated from bovine adrenal medulla express tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. Granule-associated TH sediments on continuous sucrose gradients with dopamine beta-hydroxylase, a marker for granule membranes, indicating that TH is associated with chromaffin granules. Membranes prepared from lysed granules retain TH, whereas granule contents are free of the enzyme. TH i...
متن کاملTyrosine hydroxylase activity and catecholamine biosynthesis in the adrenal medulla of rats during stress.
Chronic hypotension and hypoglycemia are known to increase the capacity for catecholamine biosynthesis in the rat adrenal medulla by increasing the maximal velocity of the rate-limiting enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). The present report indicates that the gradual increase in maximal TH activity is preceded by a more rapid increase in the affinity of TH for its pterin cofactor. These short-te...
متن کاملRegulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity by muscarinic agonists in rat adrenal medulla.
Regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) enzymatic activity in vivo by muscarinic receptor agonists in rat adrenal medulla was characterized in this study. Bethanechol and carbachol produce dose-dependent increases in rat adrenal TH activity. These increases are maximal (approximately 3-fold) using 10 mg/kg bethanechol or 0. 5 mg/kg carbachol and are totally inhibited by prior administration of ...
متن کاملCycloheximide increases proenkephalin and tyrosine hydroxylase gene expression in rat adrenal medulla.
The effect of cycloheximide (CHX; 5 mg/kg) on proenkephalin (proENK) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) mRNA expression in rat central and peripheral nervous systems was studied. CHX increased proENK and TH mRNA levels in the adrenal gland, but not in hippocampus, striatum, midbrain, brainstem, pituitary, and hypothalamus. The pretreatment with actinomycin D (0.5 mg/kg) significantly decreased CHX-i...
