Abstract:
:Initial studies demonstrated the loss of lysine and simultaneous appearance of glucitollysine in intracellular proteins following incubation with sugar. For example, when a crude nervous tissue cytoskeletal preparation was incubated in 100 mM glucose for 10 days, > 60% of the lysine residues were modified. Over 20% of the lysyl residues in a spinal cord neurofilament preparation are susceptible to Schiff base formation after one day and over 30% following five days of incubation with 100 mM glucose. When incubated with 100 mM galactose, F- and G-actin were found to be significantly modified in as few as 15 h, with > 70% of the lysyl residues lost. After 45 h of incubation, > 90% of the residues had been modified. These data also indicate that many of the lysyl residues in F- and G-actin are exposed and very susceptible to modification by sugar. This rapid and extensive modification of lysine in actin in vitro suggest that it may be modified in diabetic nervous tissue.
