Partial purification and characterization of a binding protein for biologically active phorbol and ingenol esters from murine sera.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have purified a protein (Mr approximately 71,000) from murine sera 104-fold which directly binds biologically active phorbol esters, ingenol esters, and mezerein in a specific, reversible, and saturable manner. The binding of labeled phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) to the purified protein is rapid and dose-dependent. Those phorbol and ingenol esters which stimulate cell growth in culture and have tumor-promoting activity in vivo inhibit the binding of labeled PDBu, while the biologically inactive derivatives fail to do so. Other nonditerpene tumor promoters, retinoids, steroids, and prostaglandins do not interfere with PDBu-protein interaction. Epidermal growth factor, insulin, bovine serum albumin, hemoglobin, ovalbumin, ferritin, myoglobin, fetuin, and lipase do not interact directly with PDBu. The purified binding protein competitively inhibits the binding of PDBu to its specific receptors. It is nonglycosylated and slightly hydrophobic. The protein is heat- and acid-labile and is present in sera of various mammalian species. Its concentration in murine sera is age-, sex-, and strain-independent.

متن کاملTumor promoting diterpenes from Euphorbia leuconeura L.
Diterpene esters of the phorbol and ingenol types are known to be highly active tumor promoting agents that typically occur in members of the Euphorbiaceae. In the present work, Euphorbia leuconeura, a rare indoor plant, is analyzed for its tumor promoting potential. Latex as well as total leaf extracts exhibited Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV) inducing activity comparable to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbo...

An enzyme which catalyzes the following esterase reaction was isolated from mouse serum: 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) + Ha0 + phorbol 13-acetate + tetradecanoic acid. The recovery was 0.18% of total serum protein and 820-fold purification was achieved. The enzyme is composed of a single polypeptide chain with sugar moiety; its molecular weight was estimated to be 77,000. Its suga...
