摘要: A discriminating system capable of recognizing the oxygenated sterols was investigated in human lymphocytes. After labelling entire cells with 25-hydroxy [3H] cholesterol (10 nM) cytosol ultracentrifuged on a linear sucrose density gradient. Bound located single peak sedimentation coefficient 8.3 S. Pronase treatment abolished radioactive peak. This S protein had low binding capacity for and probably high affinity. last parameter not determined account some difficulties encountered cell-free relating to physico-chemical properties 25-hydroxycholesterol. Only hydroxylated closely related 25-hydroxycholesterol were specifically protein, contrast cholesterol. differed from proteins derivatives vitamin D3 glucocorticoids. With lymphocyte as model under our experimental conditions, this sterol-binding seems be involved rather cell division control than regulation HMG-CoA reductase activity: indeed, hydroxysterols able inhibit thymidine incorporation into DNA are recognized by whereas active activity without affecting not.
