The core of mammalian ferritin is known to contain varying amounts of phosphate as well as iron. This study examined the variations in phosphate found in ferritins from horse spleen, rat liver, and bovine liver. The amount of phosphate varied inversely with the amount of iron present in the core. Theoretical extrapolation showed that in the absence of phosphate approximately 4400 atoms of iron could be incorporated into ferritin. Reconstitution of ferritin with iron and ceruloplasmin followed by prolonged incubation with phosphate produced cores similar to native ferritin in terms of iron to phosphate ratios and rates of iron release. However, ferritin reconstituted in the presence of phosphate differed markedly from native ferritins. The data suggest that phosphate is an integral part of mammalian ferritin cores and influences both core formation and the ease by which iron is released from ferritin. 相似文献

Sex difference in distribution and iron responsiveness of the two ferritins of rat cardiac and skeletal muscle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The presence of two electrophoretically and structurally distinguishable forms of ferritin ("fast" and "slow") in cardiac and skeletal muscle (diaphragm) of the rat was confirmed. Although the total amount of cardiac ferritin showed no difference in concentration in male and female rats, the distribution between the fast and slow species was markedly different in the two sexes, the fast form predominating in the cardiac muscle and diaphragm of the female. In agreement with this, the rates of synthesis and of degradation of the fast species were greater in the female, while the opposite obtained for the male. Iron administration stimulated synthesis of each ferritin species in the cardiac muscle and diaphragm of both sexes. Induction of cardiac connective tissue hypertrophy with isoproterenol inverted the ratio of slow to fast ferritin in female rats, while iron administration along with isoproterenol restored this to normal. It is concluded that the metabolism of ferritin in cardiac and skeletal muscle is sensitive both to sexual status and to iron administration. 相似文献

The kinetic constants for horse urinary kallikrein and trypsin hydrolysis of BAEE, TAME, bradykinin methyl ester and bradykinyl-Ser-Val-Gin-Val-Ser were determined. The values of the ratio kcat/Km show that (1) kallikrein is catalytically less efficient than trypsin for all the substrates (2) the three esters are equally good substrates for trypsin while horse urinary kallikrein is 100-fold more effective on bradykinin methyl ester than on the other substrates (3) for both enzymes the ester of bradykinin is a better substrate than the tetradecapeptide. 相似文献

The thermal decomposition of CeCl_3·7 H_2 O was studied from room temperature to 800 ℃. Analysis was performed by applying TG-DTA, XRD, FESEM, EDXS, and TG-MS technologies to investigate the thermal decomposition mechanism of CeCl_3·7 H_2 O in air atmosphere. Multiple forms of hydrated cerium chloride compound were observed in the dehydration products. The CeCl_3 hydrolysis product was separated by a continuous centrifugation method and the phase composition was identified as CeO_2,Ce(OH)_3,and CeCl_3·4 H_2 O by XRD analysis. The evolved gas composition was identified as CI_2 and HCI by TG-MS system. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, the mechanism of thermal decomposition of CeCl_3·7 H_2 O was proposed with completion of the dehydration reaction at 224 ℃,the hydrolysis reaction at 170-480 ℃,and the oxidation reaction of CeCl_3 above 480 ℃. 相似文献

The mechanism of oxidation of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid catalyzed by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) has been investigated using the HLADH structure at 2.1 A resolution with NAD+ and pentafluorobenzyl alcohol in the active site [Ramaswamy et al. (1994) Biochemistry 33,5230-5237]. Constructs for molecular dynamics (MD) investigations with HLADH were obtained by a best-fit superimposition of benzaldehyde or its hydrate on the pentafluorobenzyl alcohol bound to the active site Zn(II)ion. Equilibrium bond lengths, angles, and dihedral parameters for Zn(II) bonding residues His67, Cys46, and Cys174 were obtained from small-molecule X-ray crystal structures and an ab initio-derived parameterization of zinc in HLADH [Ryde, U. (1995) Proteins: Struct., Funct., Genet. 21,40-56]. Dynamic simulations in CHARMM were carried out on the following three constructs to 100 ps: (MD1) enzyme with NAD+, benzaldehyde, and zinc-ligated HO-in the active site; (MD2) enzyme with NAD+ and hydrated benzaldehyde monoanion bound to zinc via the pro-R oxygen, with a proton residing on the pro-S oxygen; and (MD3) enzyme with NAD+ and hydrated benzaldehyde monoanion bound to zinc via the pro-S oxygen, with a proton residing on the pro-R oxygen. Analyses were done of 800 sample conformations taken in the last 40 ps of dynamics. Structures from MD1 and MD3 were used to define the initial spatial arrangements of reactive functionalities for semiempirical PM3 calculations. Using PM3, model systems were calculated of ground states and some transition states for aldehyde hydration, hydride transfer, and subsequent proton shuttling. With benzaldehyde and zinc-bound hydroxide ion in the active site, the oxygen of Zn(II)-OH resided at a distance of 2.8-5.5 A from the aldehyde carbonyl carbon during the dynamics simulation. This may be compared to the PM3 transition state for attack of the Zn(II)-OH oxygen on the benzaldehyde carbonyl carbon, which has an O...C distance of 1.877 A. HLADH catalysis of the aldehyde hydration would require very little motion aside from that in the ground state. Two simulations of benzaldehyde hydrate ligated to zinc (MD2 and MD3) both showed close approach of the aldehyde hydrate hydrogen to NAD+C4, varying from 2.3 to 3.3 A, seemingly favorable for the hydride transfer reaction. The MD2 configuration does not allow proton shuttling. On the other hand, when the pro-S oxygen is ligated to zinc (MD3), the proton on the pro-R oxygen averages 2.09 A from the hydroxyl oxygen of Ser48 such that initiation of shuttling of protons via Ser48 to the ribose 2'-hydroxyl oxygen to the 3'-hydroxyl oxygen to His51 nitrogen is sterically favorable. PM3 calculations suggest that this proton shuttle represents a stepwise reaction which occurs subsequent to hydride transfer. The PM3 transition state for hydride transfer based on the MD3 configuration has the transferring hydride 1.476 A from C4 of NAD+ and 1.433 A from the aldehyde alpha-carbon. 相似文献

Horse spleen cathepsin D (3.4.23.5.) was purified from crude extract by sodium chloride and ethanol precipitation, column chromatography fractionation on DEAE cellulose and CM Sephadex, re-chromatography on DEAE cellulose and gel filtration. The enzyme has been purified about 3.000 folds with a yield of 30 per cent. The purified enzyme seems to be homogeneous on Sephadex G100, one protein band is apparent on disc electrophoresis. Determined by dansylation the N-terminal amino acid is glycine. A molecular weight of 42,500 +/- 3,000 was obtained with Sephadex G100 gel filtration and light scattering measurements. Amino acid analysis and chemical determinations were performed: cathepsin D is a glycoprotein (2 or 3 osamine residues) including 344 amino acids and 4 disulfide bonds. Spectrophotometric data show that E1cm/1 mg/ml = 1.01 at lambda = 280 nm. ORD measurements indicate about 20 per cent of helicoidal content in the molecule. 相似文献

AbstractDrops of iron, levitated and heated to about 1750° C, were oxidized in helium which contained up to 1.46% O2 at flow rates up to 0.13 litre · sec?1 Measured quantities were rates of oxidation and vapourization and the degree of oxidation of the fume. It was concluded that the formation of both FeO and Fe3O4 contributed to enhanced vapourization. A modified fonn of Turkdogan's expression describes the effect of partial pressure of oxygen on enhancement. Résumé Des gouttelettes de fer, lévitées et chauffées à environ 1750°C, ont ete oxydées sous hélium contenant jusqu'à 1.46% O2 a un débit atteignant 0.13 litre·sec?1. Les valeurs mesurées étaientles taux d'oxydation et de vaporisation et le degré d'oxydation des vapeurs. Il a été conclu que la formation de FeO et de Fe3O4 accélérait la vaporisation. Une forme modifiée de la relation de Turkdogan decrit l'effet de la pression partielle d'oxygène sur cette accéléra tion. 相似文献

The microbiological oxidation of ferrous iron in batch and continuous systems has been investigated in relation to uranium extraction from a low-grade ore by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The influence of the parameters, agitation, and aeration on oxygen saturation concentration, rate of oxygen mass transfer, and rate of ferrous iron oxidation was demonstrated. The kinetic values, Vmax and K were determined using an adapted Monod equation for different dilution rates and initial concentrations of ferrous iron. The power requirements for initial leaching conditions were also calculated. Uranium extraction as high as 68% has been realized during nine days of treatment. Regrinding the leach residue and its subsequent leaching yielded 87% uranium solubilization. 相似文献

Anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide; AnNH) has important neuromodulatory and immunomodulatory activities. This lipid is rapidly taken up and hydrolyzed to arachidonate and ethanolamine in many organisms. As yet, AnNH inactivation has not been studied in humans. Here, a human brain fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) has been characterized as a single protein of 67 kDa with a pI of 7.6, showing apparent Km and Vmax values for AnNH of 2.0 +/- 0.2 microM and 800 +/- 75 pmol.min-1.mg of protein-1, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for AnNH hydrolysis were 9.0 and 37 degreesC, respectively, and the activation energy of the reaction was 43.5 +/- 4.5 kJ.mol-1. Hydro(pero)xides derived from AnNH or its linoleoyl analogues by lipoxygenase action were competitive inhibitors of human brain FAAH, with apparent Ki values in the low micromolar range. One of these compounds, linoleoylethanolamide is the first natural inhibitor (Ki = 9.0 +/- 0.9 microM) of FAAH as yet discovered. An FAAH activity sharing several biochemical properties with the human brain enzyme was demonstrated in human neuroblastoma CHP100 and lymphoma U937 cells. Both cell lines have a high affinity transporter for AnNH, which had apparent Km and Vmax values for AnNH of 0.20 +/- 0.02 microM and 30 +/- 3 pmol.min-1.mg of protein-1 (CHP100 cells) and 0.13 +/- 0.01 microM and 140 +/- 15 pmol.min-1.mg of protein-1 (U937 cells), respectively. The AnNH carrier of both cell lines was activated up to 170% of the control by nitric oxide. 相似文献

The N-lobe of human serum transferrin (hTF/2N) has been expressed in baby hamster kidney cells and crystallized in both orthorhombic (P212121) and tetragonal (P41212) space groups. Both crystal forms diffract to high resolution (1.6 and 1.8 A, respectively) and have been solved by molecular replacement. Subsequent refinement resulted in final models for the structure of hTF/2N that had crystallographic R-factors of 18.1 and 19.7% for the two crystal forms, respectively; these models represent the highest-resolution transferrin structures determined to date. The hTF/2N polypeptide has a folding pattern similar to those of other transferrins, including the presence of a deep cleft that contains the metal-binding site. In contrast to other transferrins, both crystal forms of hTF/2N display disorder at the iron-binding site; model building suggests that this disorder consists of alternative conformations of the synergistically bound carbonate anion, the side chain for Arg-124, and several solvent molecules. Subsequent refinement revealed that conformation A has an occupancy of 0.63-0. 65 and corresponds to the structure of the iron-binding site found in other transferrins. The alternative conformation B has an occupancy of 0.35-0.37; in this structure, the carbonate has rotated 30 degrees relative to the iron and the side chain for Arg-124 has moved to accommodate the new carbonate position. Several water molecules appear to stabilize the carbonate anion in the two conformations. These structures are consistent with the protonation of the carbonate and resulting partial removal of the anion from the metal; these events would occur prior to cleft opening and metal release. 相似文献

Submicrometer, crystalline hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles were prepared by hydrolysis of organic iron carboxylate solutions using water at 175 °C for 30 minutes. The particle
size of hematite was significantly dependent on the liquid-phase stirring speed and the organic compositions. The precipitation
rate of hematite from the organic solution followed first-order kinetics. The precipitation rate increased markedly with increasing
temperature, and the activation energy for the process was 94.6 kJ mol−1. At 220 °C, the hydrolysis of iron carboxylate solution led to a mixture of hematite and magnetite (Fe3O4). The iron oxides prepared at 175 °C to 220 °C were found to be free from organic contamination by the starting material. 相似文献

On the basis of the experimental results and thermodynamic and kinetic theories, a system reaction model was developed for liquid iron reacting with O2/CO2/CO/N2 gases. For verification of the model, laboratory-scale experiments using a levitation melting technique were carried out on the kinetics of simultaneous oxidation of carbon, silicon, and manganese in a liquid metal droplet by oxygen and/or carbon dioxide in nitrogen gas. Both reaction model predictions and experiments show that for medium- or high-carbon (1.64 and 3.38 pct carbon, respectively) liquid iron, oxidation of silicon and manganese occurs at 1873 K only after cessation of the vigorous decarburization reaction, but that they proceed from the beginning in a low-carbon (0.4 pct carbon) run. The oxidation of silicon was accompanied by oxidation of manganese because of the reduction of the activity of manganese oxide once an oxide formed on the surface of the metal droplet. In a low-temperature run (< 1633 K), the metal surface was covered by a solid or very viscous oxide layer and the reaction proceeds far more slowly. The reaction model does not interpret reaction behavior at lower temperature because diffusion in the oxide layer may be the rate-controlling step, and this mechanism has not been included in the model. 相似文献

Some bacteria form intracellular nanometer-scale crystals of greigite (Fe3S4) that cause the bacteria to be oriented in magnetic fields. Transmission electron microscope observations showed that ferrimagnetic greigite in these bacteria forms from nonmagnetic mackinawite (tetragonal FeS) and possibly from cubic FeS. These precursors apparently transform into greigite by rearrangement of iron atoms over a period of days to weeks. Neither pyrrhotite nor pyrite was found. These results have implications for the interpretation of the presence of pyrrhotite and greigite in the martian meteorite ALH84001. 相似文献

The injured spleen of two patients was segmentally resected. After searching for and ligating the segmental vessels belonging to the injured parts the segments were divided. The minimal bleedings were controlled by reinforced sutures, the capsule of the spleen was sutured at the edges with mattress-U-suture-stitches. There were no complications during the postoperative treatment of both patients. Also a good function of the splenic tissue was proved scintigraphically. 相似文献

Plasma hydrolysis of leucine enkephalin was evaluated, together with several cellular immune parameters, in a homogeneous group of human subjects who had undergone severe trauma (proximal femur fracture); data obtained were compared with those obtained in an age-matched control group. In the experimental group, immediately after hospitalization, substrate hydrolysis was reduced with respect both to the control subjects and the same patients 4 weeks after the trauma. Chromatographic separation of the enzymes active on leu-enkephalin showed that the reduction of substrate hydrolysis is mainly attributable to the decrease in the activity of enkephalin-degrading enzymes, principally of aminopeptidases, per se, whereas the role of the low-molecular-weight plasma inhibitors is only minor. In the same subjects, several of the immunological parameters measured underwent modifications that may be considered stress related. However, the absence of a quantitative relationship between reduction in hydrolysis and modifications of immune parameters does not support the hypothesis of a direct relationship between these two sets of data. 相似文献
