DNA-binding proteins of psoriatic scales III. Biochemical characterisation as non-histone-proteins. 1978

G Reimer, and G Leonhardi, and U Schwulera

Histone and non-histone-proteins (NHP) are proteins with a specific affinity to DNA; each group is involved in the regulation of gene expression in its own way. To investigate molecular biologic processes at psoriasis, DNA-binding proteins (DBP) were isolated from psoriatic scales. During this work the proportions of histone and NHP of the DBP fractions were examined. Using two different methods (Bio Rex 70-chromatography and isoelectrofocussing), it was found that the isolated DBP contain only acidic proteins. Likewise, the composition of amino acids is comparable with those of acidic, nuclear proteins of other tissues. Thus the isolated DBP represent to its greatest extent acidic, chromosomal NHP, which obviously are derived from the preserved nuclei of the parakeratotic scale layer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Palmoplantaris Pustulosis,Pustular Psoriasis of Palms and Soles,Pustulosis Palmaris et Plantaris,Pustulosis of Palms and Soles,Psoriases
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.

D006657 Histones Small chromosomal proteins (approx 12-20 kD) possessing an open, unfolded structure and attached to the DNA in cell nuclei by ionic linkages. Classification into the various types (designated histone I, histone II, etc.) is based on the relative amounts of arginine and lysine in each.

D000596 Amino Acids Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins. Amino Acid,Acid, Amino,Acids, Amino
D012867 Skin The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment. It is composed of the DERMIS and the EPIDERMIS.
