Transglutaminase activity in Yoshida ascites tumor cells. 1983

A Vanella, and E Geremia, and R Pinturo, and R Bernardini

Transglutaminase may be an important intracellular regulator of protein function through its ability to catalyze the calcium-dependent covalent linkage of primary amines to glutamine residues in peptide linkage with the generation of ammonia. This study provides further evidence that a major alteration in tumor cells is the marked decline in the expression of transglutaminase activity. This may alter its known protein cross-linking activity and favor lack of differentiation and proliferation.

D011503 Transglutaminases Transglutaminases catalyze cross-linking of proteins at a GLUTAMINE in one chain with LYSINE in another chain. They include keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1 or TGK), tissue transglutaminase (TGM2 or TGC), plasma transglutaminase involved with coagulation (FACTOR XIII and FACTOR XIIIa), hair follicle transglutaminase, and prostate transglutaminase. Although structures differ, they share an active site (YGQCW) and strict CALCIUM dependence.
