چکیده

Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase has been purified from a lymphocyte-rich fraction of blood cells of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Normal lymphocytes, other blood cells, and skin also contain the enzyme. After a 240-fold purification by column chromatography, a further purification was obtained by isoelectric focusing, which revealed an isoelectric point of 5.2 to 5.3. The enzyme is stabilized by 2-mercap toethanol and inactivated by 5, 5 '-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The enzyme is stable in, but inhibited by, phosphate buffer. Yeast tRNATrp is a good substrate, with a Km of 1.1 X 10~7 M. ATP and tryptophan have Km values of 1.6 X 10~4 and 2.9 X 1(T6 M, respectively.

Analysis of HLA-G Gene Expression in B-Lymphocytes from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients

The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...

Biochemical and genetic characterization of a temperature-sensitive, tryptophanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase mutant of Bacillus subtilis.

A temperature-sensitive, 5-fluorotryptophan (5FT)-resistant mutant of Bacillus subtilis was isolated which forms an altered tryptophanyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase [l-tryptophan: sRNA ligase (AMP), EC 6.1.1.2]. The mutant grows well at 30 C but not at 42 C. At the latter temperature, protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis are abolished while deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis...
