Variety of sialic acids occurring in the bovine sublingual gland.

چکیده
Sialoglycoconjugates were investigated in the bovine sublingual gland by direct visualization of sialic acid with specific lectins (LPA, SNA) and by histochemical procedures combined with sialidase digestion and lectins. The most reactive histological structures were found to be acini which contained glycoconjugates with terminal disaccharides consisting of sialic acid linked to galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine. Resistance to periodate oxidation was interpreted as demonstrating a relevant presence of C7, C8 and C9 acetylated sialic acids. KOH-Sialidase-DBA and KOH-Alcian blue sequences allowed the identification of C4 acetylated sialic acids.

the effect of isoproterenol on protein electrophoretic pattern of rabbit salivary Glands
Isoproterenol is a potent B-adrenergic agonist which its effect on rabbit salivary Glands has been studied in this research.two groups of male albino rabbits(five in each group with the mean weight of 1000+_300 gr) were injected with 20 mg/kg of isoproterenol intrapritoneally each day for fifteen days and one similar group(n=5) was chosen as control group.in one of the test groups in addition ...
متن کاملAttachment of bovine parvovirus to sialic acids on bovine cell membranes.
Although it has previously been shown that bovine parvovirus (BPV) attaches to the sialated glycoprotein glycophorin A on erythrocytes, the nature of virus-binding moieties on mammalian nucleated cells is less clear. Buffalo lung fibroblasts (Bu), primary bovine embryonic kidney cells, Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells and bovine embryonic trachea (EBTr) cells were assessed for molecules capable ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of sialic acids by Neisseria meningitidis.
Recent reports from this laboratory (2-4) and other laboratories (5, 6) have elucidated the pathway of biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid from N-acetyl-n-mannosamine and phosphoenolpyruvic acid in mammalian systems. The over-all biosynthetic reaction for rat liver and bovine submaxillary gland is catalyzed by 3 enzymes: a kinase, a condensing enzyme, and a dephosphorylating enzyme. N-Acety...
متن کاملThe thiobarbituric acid assay of sialic acids.
Members of the sialic acid family of compounds occur in a variety of tissues and body fluids (la, 2) and in bacteria (3), incorporated in conjugated protein. The naturally occurring sinlic acids are substituted neuraminic acid derivatives (Nacetyl, N-glycolyl, N, 0-diacetylneuraminic acid). These are collectively termed “sialic acids.” The unsubstituted 9 carbon chain is called neuraminic acid ...

By comparative analysis of the hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) protein of mouse hepatitis virus strain S (MHV-S) and the HE protein of influenza C virus, we found major differences in substrate specificities. In striking contrast to the influenza C virus enzyme, the MHV-S esterase was unable to release acetate from bovine submandibulary gland mucin. Furthermore, MHV-S could not remove influenza C v...
