Cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1), the ethanol-inducible isoform of cytochrome P450 superfamily, catalyzes many low molecular weight endogenous and exogenous compounds, including ethanol, acetone, drugs like acetaminophen and chlorzoxazone, and industrial solvents like benzene and styrene, most of which are carcinogenic. Besides, it has a high capacity to produce reactive oxygen species. CYP2E1 is induced by ethanol and isoniazid, as well by some pathophysiological conditions like diabetes and starvation. CYP2E1 gene shows genetic polymorphisms which are thought to play a major role in interindividual variability in drug response and in susceptibility to chemical-induced diseases, like several types of cancers. It is well established that CYP2E1 polymorphisms vary markedly in frequency among different ethnic and racial groups. Therefore, in this study, the frequency of two important CYP2E1 polymorphisms; the single nucleotide polymorphisms C-1019T / G-1259C in 52-flanking region and T7678A poymorphism in intron 6, in Turkish population was investigated. For this purpose, whole blood samples were collected from 132 healthy volunteers representing Turkish population and genomic DNA for each subject was isolated in intact form. The genotypes were determined by PCR amplification of corresponding regions followed by restriction endonuclease RsaI, PstI (for C-1019T / G-1259C SNPs) and DraI (for T7678A SNP) digestions. The genotype frequencies, for C-1019T / G-1259C SNPs, which are in complete linkage disequilibrium, were investigated on 116 DNA samples, and determined as 97.4% for homozygous wild type (c1/c1), 2.6% for heterozygotes (c1/c2) and 0.0% for homozygous mutants (c2c2). The allele frequency of wild type allele (c1) was calculated as 98.7% and that of mutated allele (c2) as 1.3%. The genotype frequencies for T7678A SNP, investigated in 108 DNA samples were determined as

Molecular recognition of poly(A) by small ligands: an alternative method of analysis reveals nanomolar, cooperative and shape-selective binding Persil Çetinkol, Özgül (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-02-01) A few drug-like molecules have recently been found to bind poly(A) and induce a stable secondary structure (T(m)approximate to 60 degrees C), even though this RNA homopolymer is single-stranded in the absence of a ligand. Here, we report results from experiments specifically designed to explore the association of small molecules with poly(A). We demonstrate that coralyne, the first small molecule discovered to bind poly(dA), binds with unexpectedly high affinity (K(a) >10(7) M(-1)), and that the crescent sh...
Cloning and expression of periplasmic (clp p-like) and membrane-bound serine protease genes of thermoplasma volcanium in escherichia coli Demirok, Burçak; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2006) Serine proteases are a family of proteases that utilize an activated serine residue in the substrate-binding pocket to catalytically hydrolyze peptide bonds. Enzymes which belong to this family, with a diverse array of metabolic and regulatory functions, play critical roles in cell physiology and pathology. ءClp̕s are a class of ATP dependent serine proteases which are composed of a protease (ClpP) and an ATPase (ClpA or ClpX) component. Their involvements in degrading proteins are especially implicated und...
Molecular dynamics simulations and coupled nucleotide substitution experiments indicate the nature of A center dot A base pairing and a putative structure of the coralyne-induced homo-adenine duplex Joung, In Suk; Persil Çetinkol, Özgül; HUD, Nicholas V.; Cheatham, Thomas E. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-12-01) Coralyne is an alkaloid drug that binds homo-adenine DNA (and RNA) oligonucleotides more tightly than it does Watson-Crick DNA. Hud's laboratory has shown that poly(dA) in the presence of coralyne forms an anti-parallel duplex, however attempts to determine the structure by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography have been unsuccessful. Assuming adenine-adenine hydrogen bonding between the two poly(dA) strands, we constructed 40 hypothetical homo-(dA) anti-parallel duplexes and docked coralyne into the s...
Expression of recombinant acid protease (thermopsin) gene from Thermoplasma volcanium Koyuncu, Bilsev; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2006) Acid proteases, commonly known as aspartic proteases are degredative enzymes which catalyze the cleavage reaction of peptide bonds in proteins with a pH optimum in the acidic range (pH 3-4). Acid proteases have crucial roles in metabolism. Moreover, they are used in different fields of industry. Thermophilic microorganisms, especially archaea, gain special interest because of their thermal stability for both fundamental and industrial researches. Thermopsin is an extracellular acid protease and a member of ...
Biochemical characterization of recombinant 20s proteasome from thermoplasma volcanium and cloning of it's regulatory subunit gene Baydar, Gözde; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biotechnology (2006) In this study, we have characterized some biochemical and electrophoretic features of recombinant 20S Proteasome from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium. As revealed by SDS-PAGE the 20S Proteasome was composed of two subunits, ?- and β- subunits with estimated molecular masses of 24 kDa and 23 kDa, respectively. The highest chymotryptic activity was observed over an alkaline pH range (pH 8.0 ا pH 9.0) and the optimum temperature for the activity was determined as 85oC. The heat stability of...
