摘要: An unusual basic amino acid hypusine was discovered in 1971 extracts of bovine brain by Shiba and coworkers, who determined its chemical structure as Ne -(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)lysine(1). Its distribution various animal tissues the free (2) a component protein (3) subsequently reported. Initial attempts to isolate any specific that contained were unsucessful, however (3). Ten years after discovery hypusine, we observed radiolabeling single cellular (Mr 183000, pI 5.3) upon incubation human peripheral lymphocytes with [1, 8- 3H] spermidine or [2, 3- putrescine presence mitogen, phytohemagglutinin identified polyamine-derived radioactive this (4).
