DNA cleavage by oxymyoglobin and cysteine-introduced metmyoglobin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Double stranded DNA was cleaved oxidatively by incubation with oxygenated myoglobin, and Lys96Cys sperm whale myoglobin in its stable ferric form functioned as an artificial nuclease under air by formation of an oxygenated species, owing to electron transfer from the SH group of the introduced cysteine to the heme.

Preparation of Crystalline Oxymyoglobin from Horse Heart.
Recently great advances have been made in the preparation of pure myoglobin by the introduction of ion exchange cellulose column chromatography (1, 2). Myoglobin, however, shows a strong tendency to be oxidized to metmyoglobin during isolation procedures. For this reason all myoglobin preparations reported earlier were obtained in the form of metmyoglobin. Therefore, oxymyoglobin has usually be...
متن کاملMetmyoglobin Oxidation during Electron Transport Reactions in Mitochondria
Studies of the intracellular role of myoglobin were carried out by recording spectrophotometric changes in acid metmyoglobin and oxymyoglobin during electron transport reactions with mitochondria prepared from pigeon heart muscle by the method of Chance and Hagihara. The absorption peak of metmyoglobin at 409 mmicro disappeared when substrate was added to normal or antimycin-inhibited preparati...
متن کاملInteraction of myoglobin and cytochrome C.
Spectrophotometric studies of various mixtures of reduced and oxidized forms of myoglobin and cytochrome c revealed that oxymyoglobin is capable of reducing ferricytochrome c at a molar ratio of 1. Other combinations, i.e. oxymyoglobin and ferrocytochrome c; metmyoglobin and ferricytochrome c; or metmyoglobin and ferrocytochrome c showed no spectral change during the time course studied. The pH...

متن کاملCharacterization of Myoglobin from Sardine (sardinella Gibbosa) Dark Muscle
Myoglobin from the dark muscle of sardine (Sardinella gibbosa) with the molecular weight of 15.3 kDa was isolated and characterized. The different myoglobin derivatives exhibited varying thermal unfolding characteristics. Deoxymyoglobin showed a single distinct endothermic peak at 74.5°C, whereas two transition temperatures were noticeable for oxymyoglobin (64.5°C and 78.4°C) and metmyoglobin (...
