What's the difference between proteolysis and proteolytic?

Proteolysis


Definition:

  • (n.) The digestion or dissolving of proteid matter by proteolytic ferments.

  • (9) A23187, KC1, sucrose, and 8-(diethylamino)octyl-3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride increase proteolysis while tetracaine, verapamil, and low extracellular calcium caused significant decreases.
  • (10) Two main polypeptides, Mr about 27,000 and 21,000, were protected against pepsin proteolysis when a mixture consisting of asolectin vesicles and 125I-labeled tetanus toxin was subjected to a pH drop from 7.2 to 3.0.
  • (11) This altered region spans the normal site of autocatalytic proteolysis that occurs at the same time as (enzymatic) activation of prochymosin at acidic pH.

  • (16) Proteolysis studies of purified VIII:C using thrombin and activated protein C have suggested that the 92,000- and 80,000 (or 72,000)-mol wt polypeptides comprise activated VIII:C. We have now used seven monoclonal antibodies raised against purified VIII:C to construct a preliminary epitope map of these VIII:C polypeptides.
  • (17) Proteolysis and isolation of the labeled peptides using reverse phase HPLC and subsequent Edman sequence analysis detected and identified the thionitrobenzoate adducts of each of the three cysteinyl peptides of chloroperoxidase.
  • (18) Whole body protein turnover was accelerated by acidosis as reflected in a 70% increase in proteolysis and a 55% increase in protein synthesis.
  • (19) These results provide structural and functional evidence that CaM and CDP-I act synergistically in the regulated proteolysis of fodrin.
  • (20) The data do not support the suggestion that the toxin is derived by proteolysis of a protoxin precursor.

Proteolytic


Definition:

  • (a.) Converting proteid or albuminous matter into soluble and diffusible products, as peptones.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Digestion is initiated in the gastric region by secretion of acid and pepsin; however, diversity of digestive enzymes is highest in the post-gastric alimentary canal with the greatest proteolytic activity in the spiral valve.
  • (2) The resistance of GSA 65 to proteolytic degradation, together with previous immunofluorescence data that indicate the antigen is an integral part of the G. lamblia cyst wall, suggests that this molecule may play a role in maintaining the integrity of the cyst in vivo.
  • (3) 5% of the degradation resulted from enzymatic activity in the culture medium, presumably due to secretion of proteolytic enzymes by the cells.
  • (4) It is the action of this protease that releases the enzyme from the membrane, as shown by the observations that protease inhibitors decreased the amount of solubilization of the enzyme, and the enzyme remaining in the membrane after heating showed much less proteolytic cleavage than that which was released.
  • (5) Three distinct antigenic regions of bovine somatotropin (bST) were identified on the basis of the ability of a set of monoclonal antibodies to bind to proteolytic fragments and deletion variants of recombinant bST (rbST) in Western blot analyses.
  • (6) Radio-immunoprecipitation and partial proteolytic digest mapping showed that the monoclonal antibodies each recognized a unique epitope.
  • (7) The fact that proteolytic activity could be detected within 2 days at 7 degrees C is significant, since bulk cooled milk is normally held for 3 to 4 days at temperatures between 4 and 7 degrees C at farms or factories prior to processing.
  • (8) These results would suggest that N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal proteolytic cleavage are important post-translational modifications of the forms of Amia beta-endorphin.
  • (9) For some proteins, properly folded protein may be obtained by secretion from E. coli; however, secretion does not ensure correct folding and protection from proteolytic degradation.
  • (10) Proteolytic activity of cell extracts from revertants of Shigella flexneri L-forms as well as biochemical properties of these strains and their sensitivity to antibiotics were studied.
  • (11) A pathogenetic mechanism is postulated to explain the subacute evolution of fluid collection with diffusion of proteolytic enzymes between the splenic capsule and parenchyma.
  • (12) The high proteolytic activity of BCC demonstrated in this study may be an important factor in the proliferative, invasive and destructive behaviour of this tumour.
  • (13) Human leukocyte elastase can be proteolytically inactivated by bovine pancreatic trypsin.
  • (14) With ribosomes the pH optimum of proteolytic breakdown is at about 7.
  • (15) The results indicate that ruthenium red appears to protect against hepatocellular injury by inhibiting degradative proteolytic activity.
