Analysis of epidermal proteins for DNA-binding activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A group of DNA-binding proteins from the soluble extract of newborn rat epidermis have been separated by chromatography using DNA-cellulose columns. The electrophoretogram of the DNA-binding proteins eluted from a single stranded DNA-cellulose column shows five major proteins of molecular weights ranging between 25K to 40K. Both the epidermal protein filaggrin and most keratins, except two high molecular weight keratins, do not show in vitro DNA-binding activity.

In silico investigation of lactoferrin protein characterizations for the prediction of anti-microbial properties
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...
متن کاملA Novel Vector for Expression/Secretion of Properly Folded Eukaryotic Proteins: a Comparative Study on Cytoplasmic and Periplasmic Expression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor in E. coli
Expression of eukaryotic proteins in E. coli often results in their aggregation. Proper folding and solubility of therapeutical proteins are the pre-requisite for their bioactivity. This is not achieved in cytoplasmic expression in E. coli because of the absence of disulfide bonds formation. A novel expression/secretion vector was constructed which exploited β-lactamase signal sequence to trans...
متن کاملSTU DIES ON THE BINDING OF THE ALKYLATING AGENT SULFUR MUSTARD TO CALF THYMUS CHROMATIN
In this study the effect of the alkylating agent, sulfur mustard, on calf thymus chromatin was investigated using UV/Vis spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis and thermal denaturation techniques. The results show that treatment of isolated chromatin with sulfur mustard releases histones from the core particles but does not affect histone H I and nonhistone chromosomal proteins. The content of ...
متن کاملDNA REPLICATION AND SYNTHESIS OF DNABINDING PROTEINS IN THE CHLOROPLASTS OF A CALLUS CULTURE
Continuous labelling of callus with H-thymidine results in intermittent peaks of H-DNA per chloroplast, showing synchrony of division. The increase in H-DNA could be due to several replication rounds, and the drop to successive plastid divisions without intervening DNA synthesis. The level of DNA-binding proteins in the chloroplast parallels the peaks of plastidal DNA synthesis; such pro...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization, DNA Binding and Nuclease Activity of Cobalt(II) Complexes of Isonicotinoyl Hydrazones
Cobalt(II) complexes of isonicotinoyl hydrazones of two series of ligands have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, mass, IR, UV spectral data. Electrochemical behavior of ligands and complexes has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that the oxidation/reduct...
