Terms to be familiar with before you start to solve the test: in vitro protein synthesis, endoplasmic reticulum, [(35) S]methionine labeling, ribosomes, aminoacyl-tRNA synthase, microsomes, signal recognition particle (SRP),1 The abbreviations used are: SRP, signal recognition particle; NEM,
Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the macromolecular heterogeneity of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from seven fresh clinical isolates and three culture collection strains of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori. All the clinical isolates produced
Canine pancreas rough microsomes were solubilized in a high salt buffer containing sodium cholate, a detergent extract prepared by high speed centrifugation, and vesicles were reconstituted from the extract by a detergent dialysis procedure. The reconstituted vesicles, lacking resident lumenal
Previous studies in this laboratory (1) have shown that tunicamycin-treatment inhibits the secretion of three secretory glycoproteins--alpha 2-macroglobulin, ceruloplasmin, and alpha 1-protease inhibitor in human hepatoma (Hep G2) cell cultures. In the present study, we have investigated (i) their
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a pathogen associated with chronic and aggressive periodontitis and extra-oral infections. Fresh isolates of A. actinomycetemcomitans are fimbriated, forming small, rough-phenotype colonies on agar plates and also form biofilms. Recently, it has been reported
Coliphage BF23 develops in Salmonella typhimurium rough strains. The phage is neither restricted nor modified by S. typhimurium. The growth patterns of the phage were slightly different in S. typhimurium than in Escherichia coli, although phage propagated on S. typhimurium is identical to the phage
The cotranslational translocation of proteins across the ER membrane involves the tight binding of translating ribosomes to the membrane, presumably to ribosome receptors. The identity of the latter has been controversial. One putative receptor candidate is Sec61 alpha, a multi-spanning membrane
1. Evidence is given for the cotranslational processing in a wheat germ cell-free system of carp preproinsulin to proinsulin by dog pancreatic rough endoplasmic membranes stripped of ribosomes by EDTA. Concomitantly with processing there is a translocation of the protein across the membrane as shown
Dictyostelium discoideum strain HMW-426 has been previously shown to be defective in the proteolytic processing of the lysosomal enzyme precursor to alpha-mannosidase. We have now shown that the mutant is defective in the proteolytic processing of a second lysosomal enzyme, beta-glucosidase.
A mixture of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine labeled with different radioisotopes in the uridine and glucosamine was used to show that the intact sugar nucleotide was translocated across the membrane of vesicles derived from rat liver rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and Golgi apparatus. Translocation was
BACKGROUND
One of the early events in midgut epithelial cells of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is the dynamic reorganization of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) whorl structures coincident with the onset of blood meal digestion. Based on our previous studies showing that feeding on an amino acid meal
Our previous studies showed that in hepatic RER of young chickens, nascent apoAI is not associated with lipoprotein particles and only becomes part of these lipoprotein structures in the Golgi. In this study, we have used three different methodologies to determine the locations of apoAI and apoB in
26S proteasomes are multisubunit protease complexes that play the central role in the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway. The proteolytically active core is formed by the 20S proteasome. Regulatory subunits, principally the 19S cap complex, confer the specificity towards ubiquitinated
The major physiological role of the serine protease inhibitor alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) is to protect elastic fibers in the lung from excessive hydrolysis by neutrophil elastase. Genetic deficiency of alpha 1-AT predisposes individuals toward the development of emphysema. We have cloned and
The protease(s) responsible for removing the amino-terminal extension of nascent presecretory proteins (signal peptidase) has been extracted from rough microsomes of dog pancreas with the detergent sodium deoxycholate. Preprolactin and pre-growth-hormone, prepared by in vitro translation of bovine
