چکیده

Human beta thyroid hormone receptor (c-erb A beta protein) produced by an Escherichia coli expression system was purified by sequential column chromatography followed by electroelution from an electrophoresis gel and an antibody was prepared. The antibody recognized a 56 kDa protein band in a partially purified rat hepatic nuclear thyroid hormone receptor fraction on Western blotting. Although multiple bands appeared on Western blotting of crude rat hepatic receptor preparations, a 56 kDa band was the most prominent and preadsorption of the antibody by purified c-erb A protein resulted in almost complete disappearance of the 56 kDa band, indicating that the 56 kDa band was formed by a specific antigen-antibody interaction. Furthermore, the 56 kDa protein appeared to co-elute with 3, 5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine binding activity in hydroxylapatite, Sephacryl S-200, and DNA-cellulose column chromatography of rat hepatic nuclear receptor, and sequential column purification resulted in selective enrichment of the 56 kDa band. These results suggest that the 56 kDa protein may be the major component of the rat hepatic thyroid hormone receptor.

Evidence for the presence of protein kinases which stimulate phosphorylation of c-erb A protein in rat kidney nuclei.

Protein kinases were separated from rat kidney nuclear extract by hydroxylapatite column chromatography. Five (I-V) different protein kinases were isolated when histone was used as a substrate. Two (I and III) of them stimulated phosphorylation of c-erb A-beta protein (50 kDa) expressed in Escherichia coli. The c-erb A product has an activity of high affinity T3 binding. One (I) of the kinases ...

Production and Evaluation of Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human p53 Antibody Using Bacterially Expressed Glutathione S-transferase-p53 fusion protein

p53 is a key tumor suppressor gene that is targeted for inactivation during human tumorigenesis. In this study, we produced and characterized polyclonal antihuman p53 antibody. The cDNA encoding the completehuman p53 protein was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST). The rabbits were immunized...

A Novel mAb against a Human CD34 Peptide Reacts with the Native Protein on CD34+ Cells

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...

Rev-erb beta, a new member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is expressed in the nervous system during chicken development.

We have identified and characterized a new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily in the chicken. This new gene, called Rev-erb beta, exhibits strong homologies with the Rev-erb alpha/ear-1 orphan receptor gene, which partially overlaps the thyroid hormone receptor alpha gene in opposite orientation. We demonstrate that both Rev-erb alpha and Rev-erb beta genes are conserved ...

Background and purpose: Measurement of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), usually through RIA and ELISA tests, is very useful for the diagnosis of thyroid disorders. Considering the structural similarity between alpha chain of TSH and the three glycoprotein hormones of luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and chorionic gonadotropin (CG), in this study, we aimed to examine the prod...
