Posttranslational modifications of microfibril associated glycoprotein-1 (MAGP-1).
Microfibril-associated glycoprotein-1 (MAGP-1) is a small molecular weight protein associated with extracellular matrix microfibrils. Biochemical studies have shown that MAGP-1 undergoes several posttranslational modifications that may influence its associations with other microfibrillar components. To identify the sites in the molecule where posttranslational modifications occur, we expressed ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a new 36-kDa microfibril-associated glycoprotein from porcine aorta.
A new connective tissue protein of 36 kDa has been purified from porcine aorta. The biochemical and immunological properties of the protein are distinct from those of microfibril-associated proteins reported previously such as lysyl oxidase, 31-kDa microfibril-associated glycoprotein, and fibrillin. It could bind to concanavalin A-Sepharose and gelatin-Sepharose. The protein contained the seque...
متن کاملMicrofibril-associated MAGP-2 stimulates elastic fiber assembly.
Elastic fibers are complex structures composed of a tropoelastin inner core and microfibril outer mantle guiding tropoelastin deposition. Microfibrillar proteins mainly include fibrillins and microfibril-associated glycoproteins (MAGPs). MAGP-2 exhibits developmental expression peaking at elastic fiber onset, suggesting that MAGP-2 mediates elastic fiber assembly. To determine whether MAGP-2 re...
متن کاملNatural infection of human adenovirus 36 in rhesus monkeys is associated with a reduction in fasting glucose 36.
Experimental infection of the human adenovirus Ad36 increases adiposity, yet improves glycemic control in rodents. In humans, natural Ad36 infection is crosssectionally and temporally associated with adiposity and better glycemic control. In vitro studies indicate that the early gene 4, open reading frame 1 (E4orf1) gene of Ad36 is necessary and sufficient to improve cellular glucose disposal. ...
متن کاملHuman placenta and fetal membranes contain peptide YY1-36 and peptide YY3-36.
Extracts of human term amniotic, placental, and chorion/decidua tissue contained, respectively, 4.36 +/- 2.79 (pmol/g wet wt; mean +/- S.E.M.: n = 5). 2.78 +/- 0.5 (n = 5) and 0.68 +/- 0.68 (n = 5) peptide YY (PYY)-like immunoreactivity. Using a specific PYY antiserum, gel filtration chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HLPC), amniotic, placental and fetal in...
