Isozyme 4 of rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 was shown earlier in this laboratory to contain multiple NH2-terminal residues, whereas isozymes 2, 3a, 3b, and 3c have single, unique NH2-terminal sequences. Similar results were obtained with isozyme 4 obtained from animals that were untreated, treated with phenobarbital (which does not induce this isozyme), or induced with beta-naphthofla...

In a recent study on Gulf War veterans who developed delayed neurotoxicity symptoms, we found their levels of serum paraoxonase (PON1) isozyme type Q to be significantly lower than in the control, unaffected veteran group. These results were obtained 25 ill and 20 well control subjects, which 10 deployed nondeployed battalion members remained United States during War. The blood samples also ass...

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...

Following blastocyst implantation, or outgrowth in vitro, the LDH isozyme pattern changes from that of the maternally inherited B subunit isozyme form (LDH-1) to a pattern dominated by A subunits (Auerbach & Brinster, 1967, 1968). In preimplantation embryos we have observed additional isozyme bands, as yet unidentified. An analysis of the pattern of newly synthesized LDH isozymes and specific a...

in order to evaluate salt (nacl) tolerance in alfalfa (medicago sativa l.) half-sib families, a factorial experiment on the basis of completely randomized design, with 20-25 individuals in pot (replicates) was carried out under field conditions at the research station of university of tabriz. electrophoretic analyses were performed by using 7.5% slab polyacrylamide gels. two antioxidant enzymes...

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 organ...

Cytochrome P-45Oj has been purified to electrophoretic. homogeneity from hepatic microsomes of adult male rats administered ethanol and compared to the corresponding enzyme from isoniazid-treated rats. The enzymes isolated from ethanoland isoniazidtreated rats have identical chromatographic properties, minimum molecular weights, spectral properties, peptide maps, NHz-terminal sequences, immunoc...

The isozyme patterns and activities of six enzymes were determined in surgical biopsy samples of lung tumors and non-neoplastic pulmonary areas. Fetal lungs were also examined. No tissue differences were found in the isozyme pattern of hexokinase or alkaline phosphatase; small differences in pyruvate kinase isozyme proportions were observed. The tumors exhibited significant deviations with resp...

1. Kinetic data concerning the substrate and product inhibition by pyruvate and L-lactate have been obtained with the Md and Hd fractions separated from crystalline rabbit muscle lactic dehydrogenase. 2. The studies indicate that the product inhibition by L-lactate or by pyruvate is predominantly noncompetitive for both the Mq and Hq isozymes. Ki values for product inhibition by L-lactate were ...
