TL;DR: Observations provide strong evidence that the glucocorticoid receptor is phosphorylated by intact L-cells, consistent with the proposal that there is more than 1 phosphorylation on serine/steroid-binding unit.

TL;DR: The availability of the A. actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin should facilitate studies on its chemistry and mode of action as well as its role in the pathogenesis of human periodontal disease.
Abstract: A leukotoxin from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans was isolated by a procedure that includes polymyxin B extraction, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The procedure resulted in the recovery of 48% of the toxin with a 99-fold increase in specific activity. The isolated toxin has a molecular mass of 180,000 daltons by gel filtration and 115,000 daltons by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It retains all the major biological characteristics previously documented for crude leukotoxin preparations, including susceptibility to heat and proteolytic enzymes and neutralization by sera from patients with juvenile periodontitis. The isolated leukotoxin destroys human but not rat or guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes and has no apparent effect on human erythrocytes. The availability of the A. actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin should facilitate studies on its chemistry and mode of action as well as its role in the pathogenesis of human periodontal disease.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the major glycop protein of the human erythrocyte membrane, glycoprotein I, is the so-called MN glycopprotein, and that the I and S antigenic activities are associated with glycoproteins III, a minor glycop Protein with an apparent molecular weight of 24 000.

TL;DR: Six cytochrome P-450 (P-450) isozymes were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the livers of four human organ donors, providing a strong biochemical basis for the view that distinct isoz enzymes of P- 450 exist in humans and that these isozikes differ in catalytic activity toward drugs and carcinogens.
Abstract: Six cytochrome P-450 (P-450) isozymes were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the livers of four human organ donors, with three of these isozymes purified from a single individual. Differences were noted between all six P-450s for some or all of the parameters determined by the techniques of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, peptide mapping, spectral analysis of ferrous-carbon monoxide complexes, double-diffusion immunoprecipitin analysis or crossed immunoelectrophoresis (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/peroxidase-coupled staining) with rabbit antisera raised to five of the P-450s, or catalytic activity toward d-benzphetamine, benzo[a]pyrene, acetanilide, debrisoquine, (R)- and (S)-warfarin, and 1-naphthylamine. While NADPH-fortified human liver microsomal preparations showed catalytic activity toward trichloroethylene, 7-ethoxycoumarin, 2-naphthylamine, and 2-aminofluorene in addition to the other substrates mentioned, none of the P-450s which we purified from these microsomes catalyzed the oxidation of these compounds in reconstituted enzyme systems containing purified rat liver NADPH-P-450 reductase. Antibodies raised against one of the purified P-450s inhibited d-benzphetamine N-demethylase activity in microsomal incubations but did not inhibit the metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin, acetanilide, benzo[a]pyrene, or debrisoquine. The data provide a strong biochemical basis for the view that distinct isozymes of P-450 exist in humans and that these isozymes differ in catalytic activity toward drugs and carcinogens.
