Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), the major carrier of IGFs in the circulation, is an essential mechanism to regulate IGF bioavailability. To analyze naturally occurring IGFBP-3 fragments a peptide library established from human hemofiltrate was screened. Three IGFBP-3 fragments were detected with apparent molecular masses of 34, 16, and 11 kDa. Mass spectrometric and sequence analysis identified the 16 and 11 kDa peptides as glycosylated and non-glycosylated N-terminal fragments spanning residues Gly1-Ala98 of IGFBP-3. Both the circulating forms and those secreted from IGFBP-3(1-98) overexpressing cells bound IGF. Additionally, two smaller fragments (IGFBP-3(139-157) and IGFBP-3(139-159)) were identified in the hemofiltrate. The data indicate that proteolysis of circulating IGFBP-3 occurs in the variable domain at residues alanine 98, phenylalanine 138, glutamine 157, and tyrosine 159.

D006031 Glycosylation The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
