The soluble F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 (TF1) contains no endogenous adenine nucleotides and contains about 0.2 g ions of Mg2+/mol which resists removal by repeated centrifugation-elution on columns of Sephadex G-50. The isolated enzyme will not bind additional Mg2+ added in the absence of adenine nucleotides nor is the rate of inactivation of the isolated enzyme by dicyclohex...

Hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase modified the synthetic heptapeptide Kemptide (Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly) at arginine-2 and/or arginine-3. Trypsin treatment of ADP-ribosyl-Kemptide revealed that the ADP-ribosylation of arginine-3 was constantly more abundant than that of arginine-2. ADP-ribosylation of Kemptide suppressed the subsequent phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein ...

Transcription initiation by the sigma54 form of bacterial RNA polymerase requires hydrolysis of ATP by an enhancer binding protein (EBP). We present SAS-based solution structures of the ATPase domain of the EBP NtrC1 from Aquifex aeolicus in different nucleotide states. Structures of apo protein and that bound to AMPPNP or ADP-BeF(x) (ground-state mimics), ADP-AlF(x) (a transition-state mimic),...

An Arg-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity on the surface of human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMNs) was confirmed by the use of diethylamino-(benzylidineamino)guanidine (DEA-BAG) as an ADP-ribose acceptor. Two separate HPLC systems were used to separate ADP-ribosyl-DEA-BAG from reaction mixtures, and its presence was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. ADP-ribo...

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) can undergo ADP-ribosylation in the absence of diphtheria toxin. The binding of free ADP-ribose and endogenous transferase-dependent ADP-ribosylation were distinct reactions for eEF-2, as indicated by different findings. Incubation of eEF-2 tryptic fragment 32/33 kDa (32F) with NAD was ADP-ribosylated and gave rise to the covalent binding of ADP-ribose to ...

Nucleotide-binding sites on the chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) have been probed using two photoreactive ADP analogs: 2-azido-ADP (2-N3-ADP) and 2',3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ADP (Bz-ADP). Photolabeling of the isolated CF1 with 2-N3-ADP results in incorporation of the analog exclusively into the beta-subunit of the enzyme. The location of the nucleotide-binding site(s) within the beta-subunit ...

In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method has been used to evaluate environmental impacts of various municipal solid waste (MSW) management system scenarios in Banepa municipality, Nepal, terms global warming potential (GWP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), human toxicity (HTP), abiotic depletion (ADP), and photochemical ozone creation (POCP). There are at least six possibl...

the aim of work: to assess changes in tactic surgical treatment acute destructive pancreatitis (ADP) due octreotide prescription high dose 1 mg/day (OHD).
 Materials and Methods. OHD had been used as 6 patients with ADP. Within first two days illness such way were treated 4 (group1), terms weeks after disease beginning applied 2 (group2). All gave an informed consent treatment.
 There...

ADP-ribosylation is a reversible and covalent post-translational modification in which the attachment of ADP-ribose is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases and the removal of ADP-ribose is catalyzed by ADP-ribosylhydrolases. ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 from mouse, consisting of 347 amino-acid residues, has been cloned, purified and crystallized. The three-dimensional structure has been resolved at a...
