Expression of sheep lung microsomal cytochrome P4502B(LgM2) isozyme was determined in lung and liver preparations from rabbits, rats, sheep, cows and humans. Several tissues of sheep such as lung, liver, adrenal, kidney, ovary, intestine, muscle, spleen, pancreas and brain were also examined. Tissue homogenates were analyzed by Western-blotting with an antibody raised against purified sheep lung P4502B(LgM2) isozyme in rabbits. This isozyme was detected in lung samples from every species examined. Homologues of cytochrome P4502B(LgM2) were expressed in livers of sheep and rabbits but not in those of humans and cows. Although homologous forms of P4502B(LgM2) were not expressed in sheep brain, ovary, pancreas, spleen and muscle tissues, they were expressed in sheep adrenal, intestine and kidney.

Surveillance of prion protein (PrP9 gene polymorphisms in Turkish native sheep breeds Uzun, Begüm; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2012) Scrapie is an infectious fatal disease of sheep and goats which affects the central nervous system. In the present study, samples of 14 native Turkish sheep breeds (n=655) were analyzed with respect to their polymorphisms of PrP gene (at codons: 136, 141, 154 and 171) and their classical and atypical scrapie risk levels were identified. Turkish sheep are found to have the highest PrP genetic variability with 13 classical scrapie alleles and 14 atypical scrapie alleles compared to all previous studies. Class...
Revealing the history of Anatolian sheep domestication by using retrovirus integrations Ayanoğlu, İhsan Cihan; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2013) In the present study, it was aimed to contribute to the understanding of evolutionary history of sheep by using endogenous Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (enJSRV) integrations in 220 samples from 11 Turkish sheep breeds (Karayaka, Dağlıç, Kıvırcık, Sakız, Akkaraman, İvesi, Norduz, Karagül, Hemşin, Gökçeada and Morkaraman) and also in 30 samples from Anatolian wild sheep (Ovis gmelinii anatolica). Retrotypes of individuals were determined based on enJSRV integrations. The genetic distances between breeds were c...
MTDNA based genetic diversity of native sheep breeds and Anatolian mouflon (Ovis Gmelini Anatolica) Demirci, Sevgin; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Bioinformatics (2012) In the present study, history of domestic sheep were investigated by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based haplogroups (HPG) of 628 samples and mtDNA control region (CR) sequences of 240 samples from 13 Turkish sheep breeds which were located in the hearth of the first domestication center. Also, 30 Anatolian wild sheep (Ovis gmelinii anatolica) mtDNA CR sequences were obtained to contribute to the scenarios on initial domestication stages of sheep. Haplogroup compositions of breeds were identified with SSCP meth...
Evolutionary relationship among three native and two crossbreed sheep breeds of Turkey: preliminary results Soysal, MI; Koban, E; Ozkan, E; Altunok, V; Bulut, Z; Nizamlioglu, M; Togan, İnci Zehra (2005-05-01) The Turkish native sheep breeds, possibly being the neighbours of the earliest domesticated sheep populations, might be harbouring important genetic characteristics to be employed in the future for the improvement of sheep breeds. In order to design a conservation strategy, their genetic diversities must be determined. In the present study, based on three microsatellite loci, the genetic diversity of the Kivircik, Awassi, Akkaraman breeds (native) of Turkey as well as two of their crossbreeds Turkgeldi and ...
COMPARATIVE-STUDIES OF SHEEP LUNG AND LIVER NITROFURANTOIN REDUCTASE İşcan, Mesude (Elsevier BV, 1993-10-01) 1. Nitrofurantoin reductase which catalyzes the bioactivation of nitrofurantoin was purified to electrophoretic homogenity from sheep liver and lung microsomes, with a yield of 15% and 35%, respectively. The specific activity of both reductases was found to be similar (140 nmol/min/mg protein). 2. The effects of nitrofurantoin and NADPH concentrations, pH, ionic strength, amount of enzyme and reaction period, on the enzyme activity were studied and the optimum conditions for maximum activity of purified fi...
