Changes in ornithine transcarbamylase activity and protein level during perinatal period in rat liver. Effects of actinomycin D.

Abstract:

:Ornithine transcarbamylase activity and immunoreactive enzyme level are compared during perinatal period and in adult rat. Ornithine transcarbamylase activity regularly rises during late fetal period and presents a marked increase 24 hours after birth. Immunoreactive enzyme level does not correlate with this developmental pattern. Ornithine transcarbamylase level increases from 0.06 mg on day 19.5 of pregnancy to 0.417 mg/g liver on day 21.5 and remains constant after birth (0.418 mg/g liver). These results suggest that inactive mitochondrial ornithine transcarbamylase accumulates before birth and that the postnatal increase in enzyme activity is mainly associated with an activation. Furthermore, the paradoxical effect of actinomycin D on ornithine transcarbamylase activity is associated with an increase in enzyme level (about 25%).

  • The hepatitis C virus NS2 protein generated by NS2-3 autocleavage is required for NS5A phosphorylation.

    abstract::Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is dependent on NS2-3 autocleavage and NS5A phosphorylation for its life cycle. We demonstrate that NS5A, when released from the NS2-5 polyprotein of the BK virus strain, is phosphorylated as two distinct forms, pp56 and pp58. Deletion analysis indicates that the appearance of pp58 requires NS2...
