demonstration and possible function of nadh:nad+ transhydrogenase from ascaris muscle mitochondria.mitochondria from the muscle of ascaris lumbricoides var. suis function anaerobically. nadh is generated in the intermembrane space as a consequence of the "malic" enzyme reaction. it has been suggested that this reducing equivalent in the form of hydride ion, would be translocated across the inner membrane in order to mediate atp generation via the fumarate reductase reaction. in accord with this suggestion, intact ascaris mitochondria showed appreciable nadh oxidase activity. sonication result ...19761262321
characterization of proteins from ascaris lumbricoides which bind specifically to carboxypeptidase.inhibitors of the peptidase and esterase activities of carboxypeptidases a and b have been isolated from extracts of ascaris lumbricoides var suis. these proteins were obtained by treatment of the aqueous extracts at low ph, precipitation with ammonium sulfate, molecular sieving on bio-gel p-4, and chromatography on deae-cellulose. the inhibitors were resolved into three homogeneous peaks on cm-cellulose. these components, cm-a, cm-b, and cm-c, have constant specific activity and were recovered ...19761262322
scanning electron microscopy of the lip denticiles of ascaris suum adults of known ages.purebred hampshire pigs, farrowed and maintained under conditions precluding extraneous helminth infection, were exposed to a single dose of 10,000 ascaris suum infective eggs. the pigs were killed at intervals of 28, 41, 55, 86, 115, 145, 175, and 206 days after infection. at necropsy, no gross lesions were found in the lungs or livers of infected pigs. the worms were recovered from the small intestine, identified, counted, and fixed. the heads were excised, critical point dried, mounted en fac ...19761263037

[the survival ability of salmonella, coccidia oocysts and ascarid eggs in laying hen feces from different housing systems].the time of survival of salmonella typhimurium, coccidia oocysts and ascaris eggs in manure of layer was determined in 5 different housing systems and 2 storing places for litter. the experiments were carried out in a stable of experimental station frankenforst of the university of bonn with a flock of 2200 hens. the effects of the environment conditions temperature, dry matter content, ph-value and intestinal microflora of the manure have also been studied. the time of survival was different de ...19921289044
[the signal transduction of serotonin secretion involves protein tyrosine phosphorylation in rat basophilic leukemia cells].we investigated the signal transduction of serotonin secretion by stimulation with dnp-ascaris antigen or ionomycin in rat basophilic leukemia cells (rbl-2h3). the modes of action of antigen and ionomycin for serotonin secretion were shown to be similar. the treatment of cells with antigen resulted in increased tyrosine phosphorylation of 105 and 72 kda proteins, in particular, the tyrosine phosphorylation of 72 kda protein seemed to correlate with serotonin secretion. furthermore, we observed t ...19921290415
isoenzymatic pattern and structure of glutamate dehydrogenase from ascaris suum.the isoenzymatic pattern of glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) has been described for ascaris suum a parasite of sus scrofa domestica. only one band of activity has been revealed, suggesting a monomorphic condition for this enzyme. also, the structure of gdh has been assayed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) and silver staining. only one subunit was present with a molecular weight of about 55,000. a hexameric structure for gdh of a. suum is suggested.19921293199
