  • Title: Biosynthesis of the internal thioester bond of the third component of complement.
    Author: Iijima M, Tobe T, Sakamoto T, Tomita M.
    Journal: J Biochem; 1984 Nov; 96(5):1539-46. PubMed ID: 6526820.
    Abstract:
    C3-translational product, which was synthesized with rabbit liver mRNA in a reticulocyte lysate protein-synthesizing system, did not react with [14C]methylamine, indicating the lack of an internal thioester bond. Instead, the C3-translational product reacted with iodo[1-14C]acetamide, as determined by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate after immunoprecipitation of the product, indicating the presence of a reactive thiol group. When the C3-translational product was treated with rabbit liver homogenate, the product acquired reactivity with [14C]methylamine and lost the reactivity with iodo[1-14C]acetamide. Thus, the liver homogenate seemed to contain a factor (or factors) required for the formation of an internal thioester bond. The factor was partially purified from the liver homogenate by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose.
