THE STRUCTURE OF THE MACROPHAGE MIGRATION INHIBITORY FACTOR FROM TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS.
Overview
cDNAs were obtained for macrophage migration-inhibitory factor, (MIF)/L-dopachrome methyl ester tautomerase homologues from the parasitic, nematodes Trichinella spiralis (TsMIF) and Trichuris trichiura (TtMIF)., The translated sequences, which were partly confirmed by sequencing of, proteolytic fragments, show 42 and 44% identity respectively with human or, mouse MIF, and are shorter by one C-terminal residue. Unlike vertebrate, MIF and MIF homologues of filarial nematodes, neither TsMIF nor TtMIF, contain cysteine residues. Soluble recombinant TsMIF, expressed in, Escherichia coli showed secondary structure (by CD spectroscopy) and, quaternary structure (by light-scattering and gel filtration) similar to, that of the trimeric mammalian MIFs and D-dopachrome tautomerase. The, catalytic ... [(full description)]
