Abstract

Human S-protein (vitronectin) and hemopexin, two structurally related plasma proteins of similar molecular mass and abundance, were analyzed for tyrosine sulfation. Both proteins were synthesized and secreted by the human hepatoma-derived cell line Hep G2, as shown by immunoprecipitation from the culture medium of [35S]methionine-labelled cells. When Hep G2 cells were labelled with [35S]sulfate, S-protein, but not hemopexin, was found to be sulfated. Half of the [35S]sulfate incorporated into S-protein was recovered as tyrosine sulfate. The stoichiometry of tyrosine sulfation was approximately two mol tyrosine sulfate/mol S-protein. Examination of the S-protein sequence for the presence of the known consensus features for tyrosine sulfation revealed three potential sulfation sites at positions 56, 59 and 401. Tyrosine 56 is the most probable site for stoichiometric sulfation, followed by tyrosine 59 which appears more likely to become sulfated than tyrosine 401. Tyrosines 56 and 59 are located in the anionic region of S-protein which has no homologous counterpart in hemopexin. We discuss the possibility that tyrosine sulfation of the anionic region of S-protein may stabilize the conformation of S-protein in the absence of throm...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.
