Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were analyzed in human phytohemagglutinin-activated peripheral lymphocyte cultures exposed to varying concentrations (10(-7)-10(-3) M) of cadmium chloride in vitro at two different stages of the cell cycle, G(0) and early S phase. When cadmium chloride was administered at the G(0) phase, no increase in the SCEs were observed for the doses 10(-6) and 10(-5) M. Concentrations equal to or larger than 10(-4) M cadmium chloride were lethal to human lymphocytes in our experimental conditions. A highly statistically significant increase was observed in the SCE frequency with increasing cadmium chloride concentration (10(-7)-10(-4)) when cadmium was administered at the early S phase, which was 24 h after culture initiation. The increase in SCE frequency was higher when the cultures were terminated at 54 h: compared to termination at 72 h. In order to examine the effects of cadmium administered at the S phase on SCE frequency in different individuals, 10(-5) M concentration was used and the cultures were terminated at 54 h after culture initiation. A 2- to 3-fold increase in the SCE frequency was observed in all six individuals examined. A progressive decrease in the proliferative index was also observed by increasing cadmium chloride concentration. These results demonstrate that the genotoxicity of cadmium chloride may be changed depending on the stage of the cell cycle in human lymphocytes. This may be one of the reasons of contradictory findings in the literature. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Crossflow ultrafiltration of Bacillus licheniformis fermentation medium to separate protease enzymes Takac, S; Elmas, S; Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (2001-01-01) Separation conditions for the serine alkali protease (SAP) enzyme from the neutral protease and amylase enzymes of Bacillus licheniformis cells were investigated in a crossflow ultrafiltration system by using 30 000 Da MWCO polysulphone membrane. The effects of initial enzyme concentration and recirculation velocity on the permeate flux, on the total resistance, and on the recovery yield of SAP in the permeate were investigated. High permeate flux was obtained at high recirculation velocity but at low initi...
Expression profiling of thermoplasma volcanium GSS1 under stress conditions with specific emphasis on proteasome associated regulatory VAT genes Yılmaz, Tülay; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2013) In this study differential expression of the two proteasome associated VAT genes (TVNO382 and TVN0947) of Thermoplasma volcanium GSS1 (Tpv) cells challenged by extracellular stresses, i.e., pH, heat-shock and hydrogen peroxide were investigated using quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting/hybridization techniques. We also performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the Tpv as response to environmental stresses by genome-wide expression arrays. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses revealed that VAT genes e...
Recombinant transglutaminase production by metabolically engineered Pichia pastoris Gündüz, Burcu; Çalık, Pınar; Yılmaz, Remziye; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Transglutaminases (EC 2.3.2.13) are enzymes that catalyze an acyl transfer reaction between a γ-carboxyamide group of a peptide bound glutaminyl residue (acyl donor) and a variety of primary amines (acyl acceptors), including the amino group lysine. Transglutaminase has a potential in obtaining proteins with novel properties, improving nutritional quality of foods with the addition of essential amino acids, preparing heat stable gels, developing rheological properties and mechanical strength of foods and re...
Optical fluoride sensing with a bay region functionalized perylenediimide dye Yukruk, Funda (2006-01-01) A perylenedimiide (PDI) derivative functionalized at the perylene core (bay region) to carry phenyl boronic acid groups was shown to interact with fluoride with changes in the emission and absorption spectrum. These changes are most likely due to fluoride-induced aggregation and/or quenching of the perylenediimide dye. The dye is also selective; among halide ions, fluoride anions generate a significant response. Thus, this class of PDI derivatives is likely to be useful in practical fluoride sensing.
Secondary structure and conformational change of mushroom polyphenol oxidase during thermosonication treatment by using FTIR spectroscopy Baltacıoğlu, Hande; Bayındırlı, Alev; Severcan, Feride (2017-01-01) To understand the conformational changes of mushroom PPO, the secondary structural change of the enzyme during thermosonication treatment at different power (60, 80 and 100%), temperature (20-60 degrees C) and time (0-30 min) combinations was investigated by using FTIR spectroscopy and compared with the change in enzyme activity. The enzyme inactivation higher than 99% was obtained at 100% amplitude at 60 degrees C for 10 min. FTIR studies showed that marked spectral changes were noted after ultrasound trea...
