The reaction of ethyl linoleate with collagen proceeded at 60 degrees C following the first order kinetics but during the hydroperoxide decomposition the rate constant of the first order decomposition was substantially lower than that of the second order decomposition. Contrary to cellulose, collagen catalyzed the hydroperoxide decomposition. The amount of total oxidation products rose rapidly at the stage of rapid hydroperoxide formation, and slowly afterwards. The browning reaction was fasted in the stage of maximum hydroperoxide content, and both ether-insoluble and ether-soluble pigments were formed, the latter low in nitrogen. The amount of lipid oligomers increased mainly in the reaction stage following the hydroperoxide maximum. Soluble collagen was converted into insoluble forms by the reaction with oxidized lipids. Basic amino acids were blocked by reaction with oxidized lipids but the bonds formed became resistant to acid hydrolysis only in the stage following the hydroperoxide maximum. Changes of sensory profiles could be explained by reactions of flavour-active carbonylic oxidation products with protein.
In intact cells, hsp70 proteins selectively complex with mutant p53. We report here that rabbit reticulocyte lysate contains hsp70 which selectively complexes with the mutant p53 translated in vitro. Hsp70 complexes with dimers and possibly monomers of p53 in a manner that requires the terminal 28 amino acids of p53. Using murine p53Val135, which is temperature-sensitive for phenotype, we demonstrate that p53-hsp70 complexes can occur after post-translational switching from wild-type to mutant p53 phenotype. Moreover, the temperature-induced switch of full-length p53Val135 from wild-type to mutant phenotype is ATP-independent, whereas the switch from mutant to wild-type form requires ATP hydrolysis and involves hsp70. These results imply that hsp70 is involved in the regulation of p53 conformation.
Hematopoietic cell differentiation is influenced by organ-dependent microenvironmental factors as well as humoral regulators. A technique is described for examining certain aspects of the hemopoietic inductive microenvironment in vitro. Suspension and agar cultures of mouse bone marrow were used to study the effects of organ stromal factors on cellular proliferation and differentiation. Bone, spleen, and thymus fragments from irradiated mice were placed in direct contact with or separated by a Nuclepore membrane from syngeneic marrow cells growing in suspension cultures. Normal adult mouse bone and spleen influenced granulocytic differentiation as well as cell proliferation. In this system, bone marrow and organ fragments from W/Wv and SlSld mice behaved like those of their non-anemic littermates. The most prominent difference between W/Wv and Sl/Sla mice and their normal counterparts was observed in the inductionof CFU-C from splenic precursors un-er the influence of CSA. In both types of anemic mice, in vitro generation of CFU-C from spleen was abnormal in young animals but was corrected by four months of age.
The site- or domain-specific immobilization of steroid receptor proteins with preserved structure and function would facilitate the identification and purification of receptor-associated regulatory components and nucleic acids. We have demonstrated previously that restricted surface regions of the estrogen receptor protein contain high affinity binding sites for immobilized Zn(II) ions. Possible conformational changes in receptor at the stationary phase immobilized metal ion interface were evaluated by monitoring alterations in the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) for [3H]estradiol. Soluble estrogen receptor proteins (unliganded) present in immature calf uterine cytosol were immobilized via surface-exposed Zn(II)-binding sites to beads of agarose derivatized with iminodiacetate (IDA)-Zn(II) ions. The IDA-Zn(II) bound receptor was incubated with increasing concentrations of [3H]estradiol (0.01-20 nM) in the presence and absence of unlabeled competitor (diethylstilbestrol) to determine the level of specific hormone binding. Steroid-binding experiments were performed in parallel with identical aliquots of soluble receptor. Analyses of the equilibrium binding data revealed the presence of a single class of high-affinity (Kd = 2.44 +/- 1.5 nM, n = 10) steroid-binding sites which were only marginally affected by receptor immobilization via surface-exposed Zn(II) bindings sites (Kd = 2.58 +/- 0.56 nM, n = 4). These data are consistent with the location of surface accessible Zn(II) binding site(s) on the receptor at or near the DNA binding domain which, upon occupancy, do not influence the steroid binding domain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
