1. Biological sensors based on immune response cells applied to the study of anti-allergic activity of natural compounds. / Utilização de sensores biológicos baseados em células de resposta imune no estudo da atividade antialérgica de substâncias naturais.
Anti-allergic activity of extracts and isolated compounds obtained from natural sources was investigated using the mast-cell based biosensor system. Mast cells release beta-hexosaminidase enzyme which is used as a marker of degranulation. Flavonoids (quercetin-Qc and rutin-Rt) and polyphenolic acids (caffeic acid-Cf and dimethoxy cinnamic acid-Dm) were used

2. Interrelationship of hexosaminidases A and B: conformation of the common and the unique subunit theory.
Human kidney hexosaminidase A (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase; 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.30) is a heteropolymer of two immunologically distinct subunits designated as alpha and beta. Hexosaminidase B, however, is a homopolymer comprised entirely of beta subunits. When human kidney hexosaminidase A was dissociat

3. Characterization of heteropolymeric hexosaminidase A in human X mouse hybrid cells.
Expression of heteropolymeric hexosaminidase A activity is reported in a human X mouse hybrid cell line that contains an X/15 translocation chromosome but lacks human chromosome 5 and has no detectable human hexosaminidase B activity. (Hexosaminidase is beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase; EC 3.2.1.30; 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrola

4. cDNA clone for the alpha-chain of human beta-hexosaminidase: deficiency of alpha-chain mRNA in Ashkenazi Tay-Sachs fibroblasts.
We have isolated a cDNA clone containing sequences complementary to mRNA encoding the alpha-chain of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase. RNA from a human lung fibroblast strain, IMR90, was enriched for beta-hexosaminidase messenger by polysome immunoselection with antiserum against beta-hexosaminidase A. This preparation was used to construct cDNA reco

5. Isolation of cDNA clones coding for the beta subunit of human beta-hexosaminidase.
The major forms of beta-hexosaminidase (2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.30) occur as multimers of alpha and beta chains--hexosaminidase A (alpha beta a beta b) and hexosaminidase B 2(beta a beta b). To facilitate the investigation of beta-chain biosynthesis and the nature of mutation in Sandhoff disease, a human he

6. Variant of GM2-gangliosidosis with hexosaminidase A having a severely changed substrate specificity.
The levels of hexosaminidase A activity in cultivated fibroblasts of two patients with GM2-gangliosidosis were close to the normal range with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucopyranoside and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactopyranoside as substrates, and the enzymes were normal in most parameters analyzed. However, the e

7. Correlation of lysosomal enzyme abnormalities in various forms of adult leukaemia.
Lysosomal enzyme activities were studied in cells derived from the following types of leukaemia: chronic myeloid, acute myeloid, acute myelomonocytic, acute monocytic, non-T, non-B cell acute lymphoblastic, T-cell acute lymphoblastic, B-cell chronic lymphocytic and T-cell chronic lymphocytic. Activities of beta-hexosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase were signi

8. Gene encoding the human beta-hexosaminidase beta chain: extensive homology of intron placement in the alpha- and beta-chain genes.
Lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.52) is composed of two structurally similar chains, alpha and beta, that are the products of different genes. Mutations in either gene causing beta-hexosaminidase deficiency result in the lysosomal storage disease GM2-gangliosidosis. To enable the investigation of the molecular lesions in this disorder and to study the

9. Evidence for two dissimilar polypeptide chains in the beta 2 subunit of hexosaminidase.
The major isoenzymes of human hexosaminidase have the structures alpha beta 2 (hex A) and 2 beta 2 (hex B). In this study, we present evidence that the beta 2 subunit of hex B and hex BA (the form of hex B derived from hex A) is composed of two nonidentical polypeptide chains. We have called these chains beta a and beta b. They have similar molecular weights

10. Tay-Sachs' and Sandhoff's diseases: the assignment of genes for hexosaminidase A and B to individual human chromosomes.
The techniques of somatic cell genetics have been used to establish the linkage relationships of loci coding for two forms (A and B) of hexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30; 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucoside acetamidodeoxyglucohydrolase) and to determine whether a structural relationship exists between these forms. In a series of human-mouse hybrid cell lines, hex

11. Structure and distribution of an Alu-type deletion mutation in Sandhoff disease.
Sandhoff disease is a recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease resulting from a deficiency of beta-hexosaminidase activity. The enzyme occurs in two major forms, beta-hexosaminidase A, composed of an alpha- and beta-subunit and beta-hexosaminidase B, composed of two beta-subunits. Both isozyme activities are deficient in Sandhoff disease, owing to mut

12. Characterization of polypeptides serologically and structurally related to hexosaminidase in cultured fibroblasts.
Human fibroblasts synthesize several polypeptides that assort into the various forms of hexosaminidase (hex). We report here the occurrence of three newly identified, hexosaminidase-related polypeptides resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates from [35S]methionine-labeled cell extracts. These polypeptides,
