Developmental changes in protein carboxylmethylation and in the benzodiazepine receptor proteins in rat brain.

چکیده
The intraventricular administration of [3H-methyl]-methionine resulted in a steady increase in carboxyl-[3H]methylated protein formation in the brain of developing rats (2-42 days). The analysis by gel filtration on Sepharose-4B of Lubrol-Px-solubilized membrane proteins, including benzodiazepine receptor proteins, revealed co-migration of carboxyl-[3H]methylated and [3H]flunitrazepam-binding protein species. The latter displayed a single peak at 2 days and 2-3 peaks subsequently. At 26 days the lighter of the two [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]muscimol-binding peaks associated with the principal carboxyl-[3H]-methylated protein peak. The findings suggest the participation of carboxyl-methylation in the maturation of benzodiazepine receptor proteins.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most widely used chemicals in the plastic industry, which enter the human body through occupational and food contact. In this study, the protein changes in rat cerebral cortex was evaluate in order to evaluate the neurotoxicity of BPA. 24 adult male rats were randomly selected and divided into four groups (n=6) and each group respectively received 0, 0.5, 5 and 5...
متن کاملOptimum Conditions of Radioligand Receptor Binding Assay of Ligands of Benzodiazepine Receptors
To obtain drugs which are more selective at benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, design and synthesis of functionally selective ligands for BZD receptors is the current strategy of our pharmaceutical chemistry department. The affinity of newly synthesized ligands is assessed by radioligand receptor binding assays. Based on our previous studies, 2-phenyl-5-oxo-7-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[a,2,3]-pyrimid...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats
Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...

Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...
