Two polymorphisms for the human GM2 activator protein gene.
Source/Description: A 300 bp HincII/EcoRI fragment of the human G^ activation protein cDNA (1) was subcloned into Bluescript vector and used as a probe. Polymorphism: Mspl identifies a two allele polymorphism with bands at either 3.4 kb (Al) or 2.9 kb (A2) and invariant bands at 1.0 kb, 1.8 kb and 4.0 kb. Rsal identifies a two allele polymorphism with a band at either 4.1 kb (Bl) or 3.4 kb (B2)...
متن کاملA protein activator for the enzymic hydrolysis of GM2 ganglioside.
A protein activator (GMz-activator) specific for stimulating the hydrolysis of G M ~ ganglioside (GalNAcb1 4GalC3 + 2aNeuAc]/?l-+ 4Glcb1-+ 1’Cer) by &hexosaminidase A has been purified over 1OS-fold with a high yield from human liver. The purification procedure includes the adjustment of the pH of liver extract to pH 4.3, followed by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-200 filtration, an...
متن کاملCombined replacement effects of human modified β-hexosaminidase B and GM2 activator protein on GM2 gangliosidoses fibroblasts
GM2 gangliosidoses are autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) caused by mutations in the HEXA, HEXB and GM2A genes, which encode the human lysosomal β-hexosaminidase (Hex) α- and β-subunits, and GM2 activator protein (GM2A), respectively. These diseases are associated with excessive accumulation of GM2 ganglioside (GM2) in the brains of patients with neurological symptoms. Here w...
متن کاملOxidized Low-density Lipoprotein Upregulates GM2 Activator Protein Gene Expression
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been shown to be a powerful regulator of gene expression in monocyte-derived macrophage. To determine the effects of oxidized LDL on macrophage gene expression, macrophages incubated with native or oxidized LDL were analyzed by differential display technique. The differentially expressed cDNA (387 bp) fragment by oxidized LDL showed 100% homology to th...
متن کاملOver-expression of a functionally active human GM2-activator protein in Escherichia coli.
The cDNA of the human GM2-activator protein was cloned into the expression vector pHX17. The plasmid encodes a fusion protein with a hexahistidine tail and a Factor Xa cleavage site at its N-terminus. The recombinant protein was purified from cell homogenates under denaturing conditions by metal-ion affinity chromatography in a single step and then was refolded. The hexahistidine tail could be ...
