Germinated embryos-germs were detached from endosperm after 24 hours from the start of soaking. Cell nuclei have been allocated from embryos-germs and cleared, and then from their heteropolymer suprastructures （nucleoplasm, chromatin loosely bound with nuclear matrix and chromatin tightly bound with nuclear matrix, and nuclear matrix） were extracted by increasing ionic strength of solution. From isolated nuclear suprastructures, non-histone proteins were separated from histones using ion exchange chromatography. Trypsin-like complexes from non-histone proteins and histone blocks were isolated using the affinity chromatography. The Arg-X （tryptase） activity was assessed by cleavage of Arg-X bonds in the arginine-enriched protein protamine. Hypersensitivity to the Arg-X proteolysis in trypsin-like complexes detected at the level suprastructures of chromatin tightly bound with the nuclear matrix was shown. The most active changes of the nuclear proteome have occurred at the level of the non-histone proteins and the core histones （H2A ＋ H2B） （H3 ＋ H4） of induced to growth embryos-seedlings of winter wheat （compared to the initial spring form of wheat）. Perhaps hypersensitivity to the Arg-X activity of the trypsin-like complexes in the non-histone proteins and the core blocks of chromatin tightly bound with nuclear matrix have been entrenched during the transforming of the winter wheat from the initial spring wheat.展开更多

The basic attention was devoted to relaxation of Arg-X sites of proteom in association with the evolutionary significance ofArg-rich histones in the eukaryotic kingdom. These properties were not studied in the prokaryotes. Cells ofE. coli were grown to the stationary phase, collected by centrifugation and washed. All cells were taken over from 50 min to 430 min at intervals of 20 min and were preserved in glycerol. The supramolecular structures were fractionated from bacterial cells by increasing ionic strength of solution. The Arg-Xactivity was assessed by cleavage of Arg-Xbonds in the arginine-enriched protein protamine in all cell fractions. We have shown that during the stationary phase in the life cycle of E. coli, there are a high continuous activity of the Arg-X processing at the level of＂cytoskeleton＂ of the cell and bright cyclic activity in the cytoplasm.展开更多

The electron densities of additional (L-Arg)-B0 residues to B-chain N-terminus of two monomers in each asymmetric unit are very dear. The crystallographic micro-environment of the N-terminus of the B-chain is different from that of rhombohedral 2-zinc insulin.展开更多

INTRODUCTIONInsulin is a hormone protein which has been investigated in a very broad and deep scope. On the basis of the abundant knowledge on its structure-function relationship, it has been an important subject for insulin studies trying to reconstitute novel insulin derivatives with some special biological activities, such as prolonged action, higher potence and lower-antigenicity, by protein engineering so as to be advantageous to the therapeutics of diabetes.展开更多
