چکیده

The effect of varous compounds on 1-aspartamido-beta-N-acetylglucosamine amidohydrolase (aspartylglucosylaminase, EC 3.5.1.26) was studied. N-Acetylcysteine inhibited the nezyme non-competitively (Ki 3.2 mM), whereas 3-hydroxybutanone inhibited competitively (Ki 4.1 mM). Methionine, isoleucine and cystathionine apparently enhanced the enzyme activity. The enzyme had a mol. wt. of 63000 as determined by gel filtration. The present studies differentiate between the aspartylglucosylaminase from human liver and that obtained from various other sources.

Purification and structure of human liver aspartylglucosaminidase.

We have recently diagnosed aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) in four members of a Canadian family. AGU is a lysosomal storage disease in which asparagine-linked glycopeptides accumulate to particularly high concentrations in liver, spleen and thyroid of affected individuals. A lesser accumulation of these glycopeptides is seen in the kidney and brain, and they are also excreted in the urine. The alt...

A di-N-acetylchitobiase activity is involved in the lysosomal catabolism of asparagine-linked glycoproteins in rat liver.

A perfused rat liver was used to study the effects of 5-diazo-4-oxo-L-norvaline on lysosomal glycoprotein catabolism. Addition of this compound (1.0 mM) to the perfusate reduced activity of beta-aspartyl-N-acetylglucosylamine amidohydrolase by 99% in 1 h. Treated livers were unable to completely degrade endocytosed N-acetyl[14C]glucosamine-labeled asialo-alpha 1-acid glycoprotein as evidenced b...

The Structure of a Glycopeptide from Human Orosomucoid (a,-Acid Glycoprotein) *

Four glycopeptides were isolated from desialized orosomucoid following digestion with Pronase and chromatography on sulfoethyl cellulose. The structure of the major glycopeptide was studied with sequential hydrolysis with /3galactosidase, /3-acetylglucosaminidase, and a-mannosidase, as well as by oxidation with periodate. Evidence for a glycosylamine type linkage between aspartic acid and acety...

Study of steroidal compounds from peel and seed of some pomegranate cultivars (Punica granatum L.) and investigating the effect of pomegranate seed oil on blood lipid levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits

Background: High level of blood cholesterol can cause diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and increase the chance of apoplexy and fatty liver. Unsaturated fatty acids play important roles in preventing cardiovascular diseases because they decrease total cholesterols and LDL-C in the blood. Objective: The study investigates some sterol compounds of Ira...
