Cím:	Evaluation of phenylthiourea derivatives as inhibitors of transglutaminase-catalyzed reaction in Chinese hamster ovary cells / Kyung No Lee, Soo Il Chung, James E. Girard, Laszlo Fesus
Dátum:	1988
ISSN:	0167-4889
Megjegyzések:	1-(5-Aminopentyl)-3-phenylthiourea (PPTU), a recently developed inhibitor of the transglutaminase-catalyzed reaction (K.N. Lee, L. Fesus, S.T. Yancey, J.E. Girard, and S.I. Chung, (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 14689-14694) was evaluated as a possible probe to examine the physiological role of transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The [14C]PPTU in cell culture was readily taken up by CHO cells and was found to be covalently attached to high-molecular-weight proteins which are associated with the particulate fractions. Incubating cell homogenates, in the presence of Ca2+, incorporated the labeled PPTU exclusively into high-molecular-weight proteins that were also undergoing polymerization. PPTU at 0.1 mM, a concentration close to the Ki value reported for inhibition of tissue transglutaminase-catalyzed amine incorporation into the B chain of oxidized insulin, decreased high-molecular-weight protein polymerization, whereas PPTU at the same concentrations showed no effect on CHO cell proliferation or on in vitro calmodulin activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. These results suggest that transglutaminase may not be a constitutive enzyme in cell proliferation.

Cím:	In vivo and in vitro induction of 'tissue' transglutaminase in rat hepatocytes by retinoic acid / M. Piacentini, M. P. Cerù, L. Dini, M. di Rao, L. Piredda, V. Thomazy, P. J. A. Davies, L. Fesus
Dátum:	1992

Megjegyzések:	Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) expression was found to be induced in rat liver following in vivo retinoic acid (RA) treatment (Piacentini et al. (1988) Biochem. J. 253, 33-38). Here we show that the increased enzyme expression in rat liver is at least partially the result of the action of RA in parenchymal cells. In fact, (a) when hepatocytes are isolated from RA-treated animals their transglutaminase protein content is much higher than in similarly isolated control cells; (b) higher tTG protein level is also found by immunoelectronmicroscopy in the hepatocytes of the RA-treated rats as compared with the very low amount detected in the controls; (c) RA induces tTG in hepatocytes under culture conditions as well. One of the functions of tTG is to form a protein polymer in dying apoptotic cells by epsilon(gamma-glutamyl)lysine and, specifically gamma-glutamylpolyamine cross-links (Fesus et al. (1989) FEBS Lett. 245, 150-154). Noteworthy, after in vivo and in vitro RA-treatment we could not determine any increase (there was even a slight decrease) in the number of the cross-linked apoptotic envelopes. In keeping with this is the significant reduction of protein bound gamma-glutamylpolyamine detected in hepatocytes exposed to RA in culture. These findings suggest that the RA-induced tTG in parenchimal cells is an inactive form.
