Abstract

Rana pipiens oocytes and early embryos contain large amounts of a basic protein with antiproliferative/cytotoxic activity against several tumor cell lines in vitro (Darzynkiewicz, Z., Carter, S. P., Mikulski, S. M., Ardelt, W., and Shogen, K. (1988) Cell Tissue Kinet. 21, 169-182; Mikulski, S.M., Viera, A., Ardelt, W., Menduke, H., and Shogen, K. (1990) Cell Tissue Kinet. 23, 237-246), as well as antitumor activity in vivo (Mikulski, S. M., Ardelt, W., Shogen, K., Bernstein, E. H., and Menduke, H. (1990) J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 82, 151-153). The protein, provisionally named P-30 Protein, was purified to homogeneity from early embryos and characterized. It is a single-chain protein consisting of 104 amino acid residues in the following sequence: less than Glu1-Asp-Trp-Leu-Thr-Phe-Gln-Lys-Lys-His-Ile-Thr-Asn-Thr- Arg15-Asp-Val-Asp-Cys-Asp-Ans-Ile-Met-Ser-Thr-Asn-Leu-Phe-His-C ys30-Lys-Asp-Lys - Asn-Thr-Phe-Ile-Tyr-Ser-Arg-Pro-Glu-Pro-Val-Lys45-Ala-Ile-Cys-Lys- Gly-Ile-Ile- Ala-Ser-Lys-Asn-Val-Leu-Thr-Thr60-Ser-Glu-Phe-Tyr-Leu-Ser-Asp -Cys-Asn-Val-Thr-Ser-Arg-Por-Cys75-Lys-Tyr-Lys-Leu-Lys-Lys-Ser-Thr -Asn-Lys-Phe- Cys-Val-Thr-Cys90-Glu-Asn-Gln-Ala-Pro-Val-His-Phe-Val-Gly-Val-Gly- Ser-Cys104-OH . Its molecular weight calculated from the sequence is 11,819. The sequence homology clearly indicates that the protein belongs to the superfamily of pancreatic ribonuclease. It is also demonstrated that it indeed exhibits a ribonucleolytic activity against highly polymerized RNA and that this activity seems to be essential for its antiproliferative/cytotoxic effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
