The disulfide structure of bovine pituitary basic fibroblast growth factor.
Basic fibroblast growth factor has 4 cysteine residues in its amino acid sequence, two of which are perfectly conserved within the fibroblast growth factor family of proteins suggesting a disulfide bond at this position. Furthermore, thiol titration of bovine pituitary basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) indicates the presence of two free thiols, which is consistent with an intramolecular dis...
متن کاملBovine fibroblast growth factor: comparison of brain and pituitary preparations
Bovine brain and pituitary fibroblast growth factors (FGF) have been compared with regard to their chemical and biological properties. Pituitary and one preparation of brain FGF (Prep A) contain a basic mitogenic activity, which migrates to the same position on electrophoresis in acid pH gels as detected by incorporation of [methyl-3H]-thymidine into BALB/c 3T3 cells. In contrast, another prepa...
متن کاملPurification of a fibroblast growth factor from bovine pituitary.
The purification from bovine pituitary gland of a growth factor responsible for the control of animal cell division in tissue culture is reported. This growth factor is a polypeptide of 13,300 molecular weight and is homogeneous when analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, carboxymethyl-Sephadex gradient elution chromatography, and Sephadex G-50 chromatography. The yield of growth facto...
متن کاملPituitary follicular cells produce basic fibroblast growth factor.
Cultured monolayers of bovine pituitary follicular cells, which transport ions, contain high amounts of mitogenic activity for endothelial cells which, on the basis of gene expression analysis, heparin-Sepharose elution profile, bioassay, immunoblotting, radioimmunoassay, and radioreceptor assay, has been identified as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). These data indicate that follicular c...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of human basic fibroblast growth factor.
The three-dimensional structure of human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been determined by x-ray crystallography and refined to a crystallographic residual of 17.4% at 2.2-A resolution. The structure was initially solved at a nominal resolution of 2.8 A by multiple isomorphous replacement using three heavy-atom derivatives. Although the map clearly showed the overall fold of the mole...
