Molecular studies of glycogen phosphorylase b from bovine liver

Abstract

Two active isoforms of bovine liver phosphorylase with distinct subunit composition have previously been purified (Cámara Artigas, A., Barón, C. and Parody-Morreale, A. Prot. Express. Purif. 1994, 5, 157), one showing three SDS-PAGE polypeptide bands (molecular mass = 97, 55 and 40 kDa) and the other showing just one (molecular mass = 97 kDa). A molecular mass of 200 kDa has been determined for the native enzymes by gel filtration. Amino acid analyses have been performed in both cases, giving the same results which are similar to those obtained with other phosphorylases. SDS-PAGE experiments at different concentrations of the three-band enzyme have suggested a 1:1:1 stoichiometry between the polypeptides. The pyridoxal-5'-phosphate site is located in the 55 kDa polypeptide and the phosphorylation site in the 40 kDa one. These polypeptides can be generated from the three-band enzyme by tryptic attack in the presence of glycogen without loss of enzyme activity. In the absence of glycogen, 55 kDa and 38 kDa polypeptides are generated, with a significant decrease in activity. We conclude that the three-band enzyme is a dimer composed of an intact monomer and a broken one. The lyotropic salt activation site of the enzyme is near the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
