Abstract
A thyroid particulate fraction contains an NADPH-dependent H2O2-generating enzyme which requires Ca2+ for activity. A Chaps solubilized extract of the thyroid particulate fraction partially purified by DEAE chromatography did not show a dependence on Ca2+ for activity. Preincubation of the particulate fraction with Ca2+ yielded a preparation insensitive to Ca2+. The non-particulate fraction obtained after incubation of the particles in the presence of Ca2+ was able to inhibit, in the presence of EGTA, the Ca2+-desensitized particulate fraction and the enzyme isolated on DEAE. It is concluded that the reversible Ca2+ activation of the NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation was modulated in porcine thyroid tissue by (a) calcium-releasable inhibitor protein(s).Entities:
