Biochemical characterization of the mouse muscle-specific enolase: developmental changes in electrophoretic variants and selective binding to other proteins

Abstract

The glycolytic enzyme enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) is active as dimers formed from three subunits encoded by different genes. The embryonic alphaalpha isoform remains distributed in many adult cell types, whereas a transition towards betabeta and gammagamma isoforms occurs in striated muscle cells and neurons respectively. It is not understood why enolase exhibits tissue-specific isoforms with very close functional properties. We approached this problem by the purification of native betabeta-enolase from mouse hindlimb muscles and by raising specific antibodies of high titre against this protein. These reagents have been useful in revealing a heterogeneity of the beta-enolase subunit that changes with in vivo and in vitro maturation. A basic carboxypeptidase appears to be involved in generating an acidic beta-enolase variant, and may regulate plasminogen binding by this subunit. We show for the first time that pure betabeta-enolase binds with high affinity the adjacent enzymes in the glycolytic pathway (pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate mutase), favouring the hypothesis that these three enzymes form a functional glycolytic segment. betabeta-Enolase binds with high affinity sarcomeric troponin but not actin and tropomyosin. Some of ...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
