Turnover of proteoglycans in guinea pig costal cartilage

Lohmander, Stefan LU orcid (1977) In Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 180(1). p.93-101
Abstract

The turnover in vivo of proteoglycans of guinea pig costal cartilage was investigated using Na2
35SO4 as precursor. Proteoglycans were extracted with guanidine · HCl, at both low and high ionic strength, and purified and fractionated by ultracentrifugation in CsCl gradients under associative and dissociative conditions. The results suggest that the sulfate is incorporated into macromolecules of at least two major metabolic pools with half-lives of about 3 days and about 60-70 days, respectively. Molecules with a fast turnover were enriched in the low ionic strength extracts and in fractions containing small, nonaggregated proteoglycans. No substantial evidence was found for a precursor-product... (More)

No substantial evidence was found for a precursor-product relationship between different fractions.
