O Norén, and H Sjöström, and G M Cowell, and J Tranum-Jensen, and O C Hansen, and K G Welinder

The NH2-terminal sequence (25 residues) of amphiphilic single polypeptide chain maltase-glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.20) was determined by gas-phase sequencing. The result indicates that the NH2-terminal segment anchors the enzyme to the microvillar membrane. The single-chain form and the proteolytically processed two-chain form have two distinct active sites differing in heat stability. However, both sites are sensitive to chonduritol B-epoxide and have similar substrate specificity. The amphiphilic single-chain maltase-glucoamylase and the amphiphilic proteolytically processed form were inserted into liposomes and studied by electron microscopy. The results showed that the enzyme is predominantly present as a homodimeric complex in the membrane.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007422 Intestines The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE. Intestine
D008081 Liposomes Artificial, single or multilaminar vesicles (made from lecithins or other lipids) that are used for the delivery of a variety of biological molecules or molecular complexes to cells, for example, drug delivery and gene transfer. They are also used to study membranes and membrane proteins.

D008565 Membrane Proteins Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008871 Microvilli Minute projections of cell membranes which greatly increase the surface area of the cell. Brush Border,Striated Border,Border, Brush,Border, Striated,Borders, Brush,Borders, Striated,Brush Borders,Microvillus,Striated Borders
D008958 Models, Molecular Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. Molecular Models,Model, Molecular,Molecular Model
