Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes comprise a family of related enzymes. There are only limited differences between these isozymes in substrate specificity or sensitivity to activators. However, there are multiple isozymes within a cell mediating isozyme-specific functions. Differential subcellular localization has been proposed to explain this specificity. When members of the PKC family are activ...

Seven peroxidase isozymes were isolated from horseradish roots and purified to homogeneity as ascertained by chromatography, ultracentrifugation, and polyacrylamide disk electrophoresis. Purification procedures included ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography on carboxymethyl and diethylaminoethyl cellulose. Peroxidase activity in the seven isozymes accounted for 86% of the act...

Strictly defined, isozymes are similar forms of the same enzyme that share identical functions. There are different types of isozymes that are classified according to their origin isozymes may be encoded by several different loci (which determine subunit structure), or they may be determined by a single locus with several different alleles. If the latter, isozymes are referred to as "allozymes"...

the present study was aimed at the development of a somoclonal variant and isozyme marker for phyllanthus amarus schum & thonn using inter-nodal segments and the enzyme peroxidase. maximum callus proliferation was obtained on murashige and skoog’s medium supplemented (ms) with 1.0 mg/l of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. three weeks-old pale yellowish white semi-friable callus was used for o...

Four isozymes of alkaline phosphatase (AP) were purified from Elephas trogontherii (Steppe elephant) from different locations in the bone (outer and inner peripheral, cytosolic, and integral) using Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and TEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography. The specimen was obtained from Erzurum Museum and its age was approx. 0.3-0.5 million years old. No fungi or bacteria w...

Fast protein liquid chromatography (anion exchange) was used to separate glutathione S-transferase isozymes in nontreated etiolated maize shoots and those treated with the herbi­ cide safener CGA-154281 4-(dichloroacetyl)-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2 H-l ,4-benzoxazine. Non­ treated shoots contained isozymes active with the following substrates: fra/?s-cinnamic acid (1 isozyme), atrazine (3 isozymes)...

Two isozymes of horse liver aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldehyde, NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3)), F1 and F2, have been purified to homogeneity using salt fractionation followed by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The specific activities of the two isozymes in a pH 9.0 system with propionaldehyde as substrate were approximately 0.35 and 1.0 mumol of NADH/min/mg of protein for the F1...

Lactic dehydrogenase isozymes (I-lactate, NAD oxidoreductase), which are key enzymes in glycolysis, have been the object of extensive investigation. Five LDH isozymes have been found. The five isozymes represent the five possible tetramaric combinations of the two polypeptides. Thus, the five tetramers range from LDH-l( H4 ) to LDH -5 ( M4 ), the three hybrid enzymes being H3MI, H2 M2, and H j ...

The isozymes of malic dehydrogenase (MDH) of maize have been separated by starch gel zone electrophoresis. The MDH isozyme pattern was the same in different organs and developmental stages. The subcellular distribution of the different isozymes was established by means of differential centrifugation. The MDH isozymes were found to be differentially distributed in the cytoplasm, the mitochondria...

Filariasis is a major health problem, affecting millions of people in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The isolation and characterization of parasite-specific enzyme targets is essential for developing effective control measures against filariasis. Acetylcholinesterase (AchE, E.C. 3.1.1.7), an important enzyme of neuromuscular transmission is found in a number of helminths includ...
