A rapid and continuous proteolysis of tryptophan hydroxylase was demonstrated with two mast cell lines derived from rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL2H3) and mouse mastocytoma (FMA3). Under conditions in which protein biosynthesis was arrested by administration of cycloheximide, the decay profile of tryptophan hydroxylase protein was traced by Western blot analysis. Incorporation of [35S]methionine and the chase experiment performed without interfering with the metabolic stage also showed that tryptophan hydroxylase had been cleaved rapidly. The half life of the enzyme was 11-15 min in RBL2H3 cells and 40-60 min in FMA3 cells, and the process was demonstrated to be dependent on intracellular ATP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils

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.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D013462 Sulfur Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of sulfur that decay or disintegrate spontaneously emitting radiation. S 29-31, 35, 37, and 38 are radioactive sulfur isotopes. Radioisotopes, Sulfur
D014365 Tryptophan Hydroxylase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of TRYPTOPHAN to 5-HYDROXYTRYPTOPHAN in the presence of NADPH and molecular oxygen. It is important in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN. Tryptophan Monooxygenase,Hydroxylase, Tryptophan,Monooxygenase, Tryptophan
