Uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase from cornea and epiphysial-plate cartilage
Balduini, C., Brovelli, A., De Luca, G., Galligani, L., Castellani, A. A.
1. UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.22) was extracted from epiphysial-plate cartilage of newborn pigs and from whole bovine corneas. 2. Formation of UDP-glucuronic acid was demonstrated by...
Biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans in bovine cornea. The effect of uridine diphosphate xylose
Balduini, C., Brovelli, A., Castellani, A. A.
1. The role of UDP-xylose in the regulation of corneal glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis was investigated. Bovine corneas were incubated with [U-14C]-glucose in the presence and in the absence of the...
Tyrosine phosphorylation of band 3 protein in Ca2+/A23187-treated human erythrocytes.
Minetti, G, Piccinini, G, Balduini, C, Seppi, C, Brovelli, A
Human erythrocytes were induced to release membrane vesicles by treatment with Ca2+ and ionophore A23187. In addition to the biochemical changes already known to accompany loading of human...
Characterization of the hypertonically induced tyrosine phosphorylation of erythrocyte band 3.
Minetti, G, Seppi, C, Ciana, A, Balduini, C, Low, P S, Brovelli, A
Human erythrocyte band 3 becomes rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after exposure of erythrocytes to hypertonic conditions. The driving force for this phosphorylation reaction seems to be a...
