Partial purification of 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase from hog-liver. Evidence for a functional thiol residue.

Abstract:

:2,3-Oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase is an intrinsic microsomal protein which can be solubilized by ionic (deoxycholate) and nonionic (emulphogene) detergents with good yields. The hog-liver microsomal cyclase was purified approximately 140-fold by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite. The partially purified enzyme was inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide, following pseudo-first order kinetics, indicating that a cysteine residue is essential for activity.

  • Enhanced expression of Silencer of death domains (SODD/BAG-4) in pancreatic cancer.

    abstract::Pancreatic cancers are resistant to TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis. Silencer of death domains (SODD) binds to TNF-alpha receptor TNFR-1, and prevents spontaneous self-association of death domains and inappropriate receptor signaling. In addition, overexpression of SODD suppresses TNF-alpha-induced cell death. In this re...
