چکیده

The amino acid sequence of a decapeptide with growth hormone-releasing activity, isolated from porcine hypothalami has been determined. The Edman dansyl procedure was used on the intact peptide and on fragments isolated from tryptic and papain digests. The sequence found was confirmed by the results of digestion with aminopeptidase M, leucine aminopeptidase, and carboxypeptidase A and B. On the basis of these studies the sequence of the decapeptide was established to be Val-His-Leu-Ser-Ala-Glu-Glu-Lys-GluAla.

Antifungal Activity of Heterologous Expressed Chitinase 42 (Chit42) from Trichoderma atroviride PTCC5220

The cDNA from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma atroviride PTCC5220 encoding a 42 kDa chitinase (Chit42) was isolated. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA fragment as having a 1263 bp open reading frame that encodes a 421 amino acid polypeptide, and a high homology was found withother reported Chit42 belonging to the Trichoderma sp. The 22 amino acid N-terminal sequence is a putative s...

The hypothalamic hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and its pituitary receptor are principal regulators of pituitary growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release. In the present study, we cloned and sequenced a complete bovine pituitary GHRH receptor cDNA in order to study its expression in cattle. The lengths of the exons in the bovine GHRH receptor gene were determined by compariso...
