DNA-binding proteins in Yoshida ascites tumor fluid. 1976

J Kroll, and J K Larsen, and H Loft, and M Ezban, and K Wallevik, and M Faber

DNA-binding proteins were isolated from Yoshida ascites tumor fluid by chromatography on DNA-cellulose. This fraction represents 1-2% of the total ascites protein. Most of the DNA-binding proteins will bind to phosphocellulose as well. The proteins migrate by agarose gel electrophoresis at pH 8.6 as alpha and beta globulins. Quantitative immunoelectrophoresis revealed the presence of 12-18 proteins. SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis indicated molecular weights ranging from 3-10(4) to 10(6). Seven of the proteins were identified by specific immunoprecipitation as beta1-Eglobulin, beta2-glycoprotein I, fibrinogen split product E (fibrinogen E), coagulation factor XIII (factor XIII), alpha2-macroglobulin, IgG and IgM. Alpha1-antichymotrypsin might also be represented. In nuclear extracts of the tumor cells only factor XIII was present. With the exception of fibrinogen E and P5 all recognized DNA-binding proteins are present in normal rat plasma. With increasing tumor age the concentration of fibrinogen E, factor XIII, P5 and IgM increased both in ascites fluid and in plasma, while the concentration of other DNA-binding-proteins decreased or remained constant. Evidence is presented that the DNA- and phosphocellulose binding ascites protein fraction inhibit tumor cell growth. No inhibition was induced by corresponding protein fractions isolated from normal rat plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
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
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005176 Factor XIII A fibrin-stabilizing plasma enzyme (TRANSGLUTAMINASES) that is activated by THROMBIN and CALCIUM to form FACTOR XIIIA. It is important for stabilizing the formation of the fibrin polymer (clot) which culminates the coagulation cascade.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
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.
