چکیده

1. The preparation of potassium l-serylglycine O-sulphate and the corresponding (35)S-labelled ester is described. 2. Intraperitoneal injection of potassium l-serylglycine O[(35)S]-sulphate to rats results in about 75% of the radioactivity of the dose appearing in the urine within 48hr. Almost 72% of the radioactivity recovered in the urine was in the form of inorganic [(35)S]sulphate. 3. Analysis of urines by paper chromatography showed the presence of unchanged l-serylglycine O[(35)S]-sulphate and several other unidentified (35)S-labelled materials. 4. It has been established that micro-organisms of the gastrointestinal tract do not play any significant role in the production of inorganic [(35)S]sulphate from the injected ester. 5. l-Serylglycine O-sulphate was hydrolysed by crude dipeptidase preparations from rat kidney and intestine to yield l-serine O-sulphate and glycine as the sole products.

The metabolic fate of chondroitin (35S)sulphate proteoglycan in the rat.

Revell & Muir (1972) have studied the metabolism of 35S-labelled proteoglycan from porcine cartilage after injection into guinea pigs. They concluded that the polymeric material excreted in the urine was the result of proteolytic degradation of the injected proteoglycan to single chains of chondroitin sulphate. These results are particularly interesting with respect to the site(s) and mechanism...

The metabolism of glycyl-L-serine O[35-S]-sulphate in the rat.

It is now well established that mammalian tissues contain an enzyme system that can desulphate L-serine 0-sulphate both in vivo (Tudball, 1962) and in vitro (Dodgson & Tudball, 1961). Information about the precise nature of the system is very limited and it is still not clear whether a simple hydrolase is involved. However, the localization of the enzyme system in the high-speed supernatant fra...

Isolation and characterization of sulphated mucopolysaccharides from rat leukaemic (RBL-1) basophils.

Proteoglycans of 300 000 mol.wt. were isolated from dispersed rat basophil tumour cells after labelling of the sulphated mucopolysaccharides with 35S in vitro:90% of the 35S-labelled mucopolysaccharides were extracted at high salt concentration. Alkali degradation of the 35S-labelled proteoglycans yielded glycosaminoglycan chains of 40 000 mol.wt. The composition of the salt-extracted 35S-label...

Growth of the cartilages of the mid-line cranial base of the Wistar rat: an autoradiographic study using 35S-sulphate.

Matrix synthesis in the mid-line cranial base of the rat was studied using a single injection of 35S-sulphate in animals aged 4-80 days. High uptake of 35S-sulphate in the morphologically distinct zone of early hypertrophy led to it being renamed the Matrixogenic Zone. Relocation of 35S-sulphate label into the primary spongiosa was used to estimate the growth rate of each site of endochondral o...

Degradation of Intravenously Injected Chondroitin 4-Sulphate in the Rat

The degradation of chondroitin 4-[35S]sulphate isolated from chick-embryo cartilage was studied in the rat by experiments on free-range animals, on wholly anaesthetized animals with ureter cannulae, by perfusion of isolated liver, by whole-body radioautography and by isolation of liver lysosomes. After injection into rats 68% of the radioactivity was recovered in the urine after 24h, approximat...
