The primary structure of rat parathymosin.

چکیده
Parathymosin has been isolated from rat thymus and from rat liver. Its primary structure is reported as follows: (Sequence; see text). The blocking group at the NH2 terminus was identified by mass spectrometry as acetyl. Regions homologous to amino acid sequences in prothymosin alpha were found to be located between residues 14-20, 23-25, 33-39, 41-43, and 83-87 of parathymosin.

MicroRNA-22 Can Reduce Parathymosin Expression in Transdifferentiated Hepatocytes
Pancreatic acinar cells AR42J-B13 can transdifferentiate into hepatocyte-like cells permissive for efficient hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. Here, we profiled miRNAs differentially expressed in AR42J-B13 cells before and after transdifferentiation to hepatocytes, using chip-based microarray. Significant increase of miRNA expression, including miR-21, miR-22, and miR-122a, was confirmed by ...
متن کاملParathymosin affects the binding of linker histone H1 to nucleosomes and remodels chromatin structure.
Linker histone H1 is the major factor that stabilizes higher order chromatin structure and modulates the action of chromatin-remodeling enzymes. We have previously shown that parathymosin, an acidic, nuclear protein binds to histone H1 in vitro and in vivo. Confocal laser scanning microscopy reveals a nuclear punctuate staining of the endogenous protein in interphase cells, which is excluded fr...

متن کاملExpression of alpha-thymosins in human tissues in normal and abnormal growth.
Radioimmunoassays specific for the N and C termini of human prothymosin alpha and the N terminus of human parathymosin alpha were employed for the measurement of the levels of alpha-thymosins in human thymus, spleen, and liver during normal growth and intestine and breast in malignant growth. A differential expression of the two alpha-thymosins was observed in thymus (prothymosin alpha-rich) an...

Background: Histological and histometrical effects of Fennel Essential Oil (FEO) on ovary structure were studied during postnatal development in female wistar rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the female rats, after parturition divided in control, sham and experimental groups with equal number of female pups for each mother at random. Sham 1 and experimental 1 groups consisted of m...
