Antibodies directed against synthetic peptides distinguish between GTP-binding proteins in neutrophil and brain.

چکیده
Antisera AS/6 and 7, raised against a synthetic peptide KENLKDCGLF corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal decapeptide of transducin-alpha, react on immunoblots with purified transducin-alpha and with proteins of 40-41 kDa in all tissues tested. The latter represent one or more forms of Gi alpha but not Go alpha, since a synthetic peptide, KNNLKDCGLF, corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal decapeptide of two forms of Gi alpha blocks AS/6 and 7 reactivity with transducin-alpha and Gi alpha on immunoblots, whereas the corresponding Go-related peptide, ANNLRGCGLY, does not. Antisera LE/2 and 3, raised against the synthetic peptide LERIAQSDYI, corresponding to an internal sequence predicted by one form of Gi alpha cDNA (Gi alpha-2) and differing by 3 residues from the sequence of another form, Gi alpha-1, react strongly with a 40-kDa protein abundant in neutrophil membranes and with the major pertussis toxin substrate purified from bovine neutrophils. LE/2 and 3 reveal a relatively faint 40-kDa band on immunoblots of crude brain membranes or of purified brain Gi/Go. LE/2 and 3 do not react with transducin-alpha or Go alpha nor with the 41-kDa form of pertussis toxin substrate in brain, Gi alpha-1. These antisera distinguish between the major pertussis toxin substrates of brain and neutrophil and tentatively identify the latter as Gi alpha-2.

Immunogenic and Protective Potentials of Recombinant Receptor Binding Domain and a C-Terminal Fragment of Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin Type E
Clostridium Botulinum Type E neurotoxin heavy chain consists of two domains: the translocation domain asthe N-terminal half and the binding domain as the Cterminal half (Hc). One effective way to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin is to inhibit binding of this toxin to neuromuscular synapses with antibodies against binding domain. Two synthetic genes, coding for Hc (the full length binding d...
متن کاملAntibodies to a unique region in lysozyme provoked by a synthetic antigen conjugate.
A synthetic conjugate, prepared by covalent binding of a lysozyme fragment (sequence 64-83, denoted "loop" peptide) to a synthetic branched polypeptide, elicited in rabbits the formation of antibodies with specificity directed against a unique region in native lysozyme. These anti-"loop" antibodies were isolated immunospecifically on a lysozyme-cellulose immunoadsorbent. Antibodies with a simil...
متن کاملStrain-specific and common epitopes of gonococcal pili
The antigenic structure of gonococcal pilin, strain MS11 (Tr), was investigated by assaying the binding of antisera engendered by intact pili from strains MS11 and R10 and their two major cyanogen bromide-generated fragments, CNBr-2 (residues 9-92) and CNBr-2 (residues 93-159), to synthetic peptides corresponding to the amino acid sequence of MS11 pilin. Four peptides were synthesized correspon...
متن کاملChemically synthesized peptides elicit neutralizing antibody to bovine enterovirus.
Synthetic peptides representing 14 regions of the bovine enterovirus structural proteins were used to raise antibodies in mice. The peptides were predicted using amino acid sequence alignments with the position of antigenic sites on other picornaviruses. Five of the anti-peptide antibodies reacted with the virus in an immunoprecipitation test. Furthermore, each of these anti-peptide antibodies ...
متن کاملA new GTP-binding protein in differentiated human leukemic (HL-60) cells serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin.
A GTP-binding protein serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, was partially purified from human leukemic (HL-60) cells that had been differentiated into neutrophil type. The partially purified protein, referred to as GHL, predominantly consisted of at least two polypeptides with molecular masses of 40,000 daltons (alpha) and 36,000 or 35,000 daltons...
