An Analysis Of Protein-Ligand Interactions For Enzyme Ii-Mannitol From Escherichia Coli, Brent Lee Wood Sep 1988

An Analysis Of Protein-Ligand Interactions For Enzyme Ii-Mannitol From Escherichia Coli, Brent Lee Wood

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Enzyme IImtl of Escherichia coli was purified from mtlA-overexpressing E. coli strain LJ1112 extraction of isolated membranes with deoxycholate, followed by hexyl agarose and ω-amino hexyl agarose chromatography in Lubrol PX. A 10-fold increase in total pure protein and 2.5-fold increase in specific activity over previously reported procedures was obtained. Tryptic fragments of Enzyme IImtl were also purified and identified as the membrane and cytoplasmic domains by protein sequencing and SDS-PAGE. The fluorescence spectrum of Enzyme IImtl suggested that two populations of tryptophan residues existed with emission maxima at 322 and 344 nm, corresponding to buried …

Laminin, a basement membrane glycoprotein promotes both cell attachment and neurite outgrowth. Separate domains on laminin elicit these responses, suggesting that distinct receptors occur on the surface of cells. NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells rapidly extend long processes in the presence of laminin. We report here that 125I-labeled laminin specifically binds to these cells and to three membrane proteins of 67, 110, and 180 kDa. These proteins were isolated by affinity chromatography on laminin-Sepharose. The 67-kDa protein reacted with antibody to the previously characterized receptor for cell attachment to laminin. Antibodies to the 110-kDa and 180-kDa bands demonstrated that the 110-kDa protein …

Hemoglobin E is a slow moving B chain variant of hemoglobin, first discovered by Itano1. Characterized by Hunt et al2 showed glutamic acid at B 26 to be replaced by lysine. It is a common variant of hemoglobin in the world and reported in high frequency from South-East Asia3-6. Cases of Hb E, in combination with thalassemia have been reported on the basis of electrophoretic pattern only. In this communication a case of Hb E with B thalassemia is reported on the basis of amino acid sequencing of the abnormal peptide.
