Disease relevance of [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

 

High impact information on [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

  • Mersalyl, an organic mercurial compound, effectively activated latent collagenase producing an active enzyme with approximately equal to mol wt 33,000 [3].
  • Incubation of intestinal cytosol preparations in buffer containing 50 mM Tris . HCl, 300 mM KCl, and 1.5 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, with 1 mM mersalyl for 60 min was effective in inhibiting 98% of 1,25-(OH)2D3 specific binding activity [4].
  • We show that earlier estimates of the H+/ATP ratio in intact mitochondria were based upon an invalid correction for scaler H+ production and describe a modified method for determination of this ratio which utilizes mersalyl or N-ethylmaleimide to prevent complicating transmembrane movements of phosphate and H+ [5].
  • Mersalyl treatment results in reduction of visible absorbance consistent with the presence of a 4-Fe center of the ferredoxin type [6].
  • Three organomercurials, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, p-hydroxymercuriphenylsulfonate, and mersalyl, induce maturation (meiosis) in a large percentage (20-100 percent) of Xenopus laevis oocytes [7].
 

Biological context of [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

 

Anatomical context of [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

  • In cytosol incubated with saturating levels of nonradioactive hormone, 96% of total binding activity was measurable with the hormone binding assay after displacement of bound nonradioactive ligand with 1 mM mersalyl [4].
  • Treatment of rat heart mitochondria with phosphate or mersalyl releases a number of proteins, including the mitochondrial creatine kinase (mt-CK) [11].
  • At 4 degrees C, the organomercurial thiol-reactive agent mersalyl markedly stimulates (3-4fold) [3H]IP3 binding to permeabilized hepatocytes [8].
  • Mersalyl pretreatment of WB membranes altered the pattern of immunoreactive receptor fragments generated upon subsequent cleavage of the receptor with proteinase K [8].
  • We report here that the organomercurial compound mersalyl induced expression of VEGF and enolase 1 mRNA, as well as HIF-1 activity, in cultured cells [2].

Gene context of [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of [3-[[2-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]carbonylamino]-2-methoxy-propyl]mercury

  • Calcium-dependent ATPase activity and detergent-induced calcium-dependent GTPase activity were similar in (a) calcium sensitivity, (b) sensitivity to mersalyl, and (c) pressure inactivation through dilution and centrifugation, all of which differed from the untreated calcium-independent GTPase activity [19].
  • Inhibition of Pi transport by mersalyl goes in parallel with titration of the high-affinity sites, inhibition being complete when 3.5-4.5 nmol/mg protein is bound to the mitochondria [20].
  • In the isolated perfused liver, mersalyl is immediately taken up from the perfusion medium and concentratively excreted into bile [21].
  • The apoenzyme of yeast aconitase [EC 4.2.1.3] was prepared by treatment of yeast aconitase with sodium mersalyl, followed by passage by passage of the reaction mixture through a column of Dowex A-1 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 [22].
