Comparison of the subunit and primary structures of the pyruvate kinases from rabbit and sturgeon muscles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structures of the pyruvate kinases isolated from rabbit and sturgeon muscles were compared. Both enzymes are composed of subunits of 56000 mol.wt. Amino acid compositions of the two enzymes are similar, but not identical. Examination of the peptides produced by CNBr cleavage demonstrated that there are at least some highly homologous regions in the two proteins. There are only two replacements between an 18-residue portion of the polypeptide chain of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase and a portion of the polypeptide chain of the enzyme isolated from sturgeon muscle.

Isolation and Characterization of the Progenitor Cells From the Blastema Tissue Formed at Experimentally-Created Rabbit Ear Hole
Objective(s): Throughout evolution, mammalians have increasingly lost their ability to regenerate structures however rabbits are exceptional since they develop a blastema in their ear wound for regeneration purposes. Blastema consists of a group of undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into the ear tissue. The objective of the present study is to isolate, culture expa...

Bioaccumulation of Cu, Zn, Hg in muscles and liver tissues of stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) from the southern Caspian Sea was measured. Effects of condition factor (CF), age and hepatosomatic index (HSI) on metal accumulation were also determined. Some 40 stellate sturgeons were collected using gill nets in winter and spring 2007-2008 from the southern shores of the Caspian S...
