DNA-binding proteins of psoriatic scales. I. Isolation by affinity chromatography and characterisation by SDS slab gel electrophoresis. 1977

G Reimer, and G Leonhardi, and V Schwulera

DNA binding proteins (DBP) are shown to be engaged in the regulatory functions of the genome. Since the accelerated epidermopoesis in psoriasis indicates changed gene activities, the examination of DBP possible could help to clarify the pathological processes. Psoriatic scales were used to elaborate the method. DBP was isolated from a protein extract by affinity chromatography with DNA-cellulose according to Alberts et al. About 3-5% of postribosomal crude protein (PCP) extract had an affinity to DNA. The separation of DBP on SDS polyacrylamide slab gels showed a characteristic spectrum of proteins with molecular weights from 12.7 to 150 X 10(3) daltons. The protein band spectrum of the concentrated DBP fraction was different from that of the crude extract. These observations show the isolated DBP to represent an own group of water soluble proteins with DNA binding abilities.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D004265 DNA Helicases Proteins that catalyze the unwinding of duplex DNA during replication by binding cooperatively to single-stranded regions of DNA or to short regions of duplex DNA that are undergoing transient opening. In addition, DNA helicases are DNA-dependent ATPases that harness the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate DNA strands.
