the effect of isoproterenol on protein electrophoretic pattern of rabbit salivary Glands

Isoproterenol is a potent B-adrenergic agonist which its effect on rabbit salivary Glands has been studied in this research.two groups of male albino rabbits(five in each group with the mean weight of 1000+_300 gr) were injected with 20 mg/kg of  isoproterenol intrapritoneally each day for fifteen days and one similar group(n=5) was chosen as control group.in one of the test groups in addition ...

Streptococcal-host interactions. Structural and functional analysis of a Streptococcus sanguis receptor for a human salivary glycoprotein.

Colonization of oral tissues by Streptococcus sanguis may be influenced by a mucin-like salivary glycoprotein (SAG) through a calcium-dependent interaction with a specific bacterial receptor. We report the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the S. sanguis receptor (SSP-5) and show that this protein may bind sialic acid residues of SAG. The SSP-5 protein contains three unique structur...

Fc-receptor and M-protein genes of group A streptococci are products of gene duplication.

The partial nucleotide sequence for an Fc-receptor gene from an M-type 76 group A streptococcus was determined. DNA sequence analysis revealed considerable sequence similarity between the Fc-receptor and M-protein genes in their proposed promoter regions, signal sequences, and 3' termini. Additional analysis indicated that the deduced Fc-receptor protein contains a proline-rich region and membr...

Sequence analysis and characterization of a maize gene encoding a high-sulfur zein protein of Mr 15,000.

We have isolated a gene coding for a sulfur-rich zein protein from a maize genomic library. The nucleotide sequence of this gene predicts a protein composed of 180 amino acids, including a 20-amino acid signal peptide. As is true of other zeins, there are no intervening sequences in the gene. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of this gene with that of a homologous cDNA clone revealed only a...
