烙铁头蛇毒素纤维蛋白原溶酶研究:Ⅱ.对纤维蛋白原及凝血酶的作用

烙铁头（T.mucrosquamatus）蛇毒纤维蛋白原溶酶TMVFg能水解三肽底物Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-PNA，但对凝血酶的良好底物Cbz-Gly-Pro-Arg-PNA却活性甚低。TMVFg显著延长血浆凝血酶时间、血浆复钙时间及纤维蛋白原溶液凝血酶时间。同时，TMVFg体外也能延长全血凝固时间，表明具有抗凝作用。纤维蛋白原-纤维蛋白转换实验表明：TMVFg水解纤维蛋白原产生的纤维蛋白原断片（FDP）除具有抗凝血酶，抑制纤维蛋白聚合活性外，还能促进纤维蛋白的聚合。进一步用FPLC分离TMVFg水解人纤维蛋白原混合液，得两个FDP断片功能峰，FDP组分Ⅰ和FDP组分Ⅱ。其中FDP组分Ⅰ能抑制纤维蛋白凝块形成；FDP组分Ⅱ能促进纤维蛋白凝块形成，抑制TMVA（烙铁头蛇毒血小板活化素，它可不通过ADP、花生四烯酸途径而诱导血小板聚集），但对ADP诱导的家兔血小板聚集无影响。TMVFg对凝血酶水解三肽底物Cbz-Gly-Pro-Arg-PNA及凝固纤维蛋白原的活性也有一定抑制作用。实验证明，TMVFg抗凝的主要作用机理是其水解纤维蛋白原产生的断片对纤维蛋白原凝固的抑制作用、FDP断片抗凝血酶作用及TMVFg本身对凝血酶活性的抑制所引起的，但在二者之间，前者是主要的。从研究结果发现：TMVFg水解纤维蛋白原所产生的断片有一类能加速凝血酶凝固纤维蛋白原的过程，这就发现了FDP断片的新功能。它证明了FDP断片作为血液凝固、纤溶正反馈调节因子的功能。这一类FDP断片还能抑制TMVA诱导的血小板聚集，因此，烙铁头蛇毒纤维蛋白原溶酶TMVFg将成为研究血液凝固调节系统及血小板聚集第三条途径的强有力试剂。

A comparative study on the two classes of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles separated in metrizamide density gradient,by electrophoresis of proteins and chase experiments. Evidence for two distinct subfractions of HnRNP in mammalian nuclei

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (HnRNP) were separated in metrizamide density gradients, into two fractions migrating to 1.31 g ml^-1 and 1.18 g ml^-1, respectively. Proteins associated with each of these fractions were analysed by SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is shown that the whole proteins extracted from these two metrizamide fractions exhibit clearly different electrophoretic patterns: 1.31 HnRNP particles contain as major polypeptide chains molecules with molecular weights ranging from 40 000 to 65 000, while major polypeptides of 1.18 HnRNP are banding in the 30 000–40 000 molecular weight region of the gels. Both fractions contain numerous other associated polypeptide chains whose molecular weights are above 65 000. A possible kinetic relationship between these two HnRNP classes was investigatedin vivo by performing chase experiments. No clear evidence for a precursor-product relationship was found. Implications arising from these structural and kinetic observations, and problems relating to nuclear maturation of pre-messenger RNA, are discussed.     

Studies on mitochondrial proteins I. Separation and characterization by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Rat liver mitochondria were fractionated into inner and outer membranes and soluble intermembrane space and matrix. The protein components of these fractions were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mitochondria contained at least 20 components ranging in molecular weights from 10 000 to 140 000. Inner membranes differed markedly from outer membranes both in number of components and size distribution. The intermembrane space contained a few polypeptide species. These were of low molecular weight. The matrix was characterized by a high molecular weight component (130 000) which comprised 30% of this fraction. A major carbohydrate-containing polypeptide with an approximate molecular weight of 93 000 was detected in outer membrane preparations.     

Endogenous substrates of protein kinase in rat liver cell sap under different dietary conditions

Liver cell sap from normally fed rats, rats fed with a highly-carbohydrate diet and fasted rats was chromatographed on DEAE-cellulose (pH 7.0). The chromatogram from each diet group was analyzed for pyruvate kinase activity and endogenous substrates of cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase. The materials were pooled into five phosphorylatable fractions, in each of which phosphate incorporation at 0.1 mM and 1.0 mM [³²P]ATP in the presence of cyclic AMP and protein kinase was determined.For characterization of the phosphorylatable components, thin-layer gel chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in detergent were used for determination of native and minimal molecular weights, respectively.Except for pyruvate kinase, eight components which incorporated at least 0.05 nmol of [³²P]phosphate/g of liver were detected. The phosphorylation of four of them was stimulated by cyclic AMP. Their minimal molecular weights were 42 000, 21 000, 52 000 and 49 000. The component with a minimal molecular weight of 42 000 seemed to have a native molecular weight of 160 000. Both the 21 000 and the 52 000 component had a native molecular weight of about 110 000–120 000. The protein with a minimal molecular weight of 49 000 could not be correlated with certainty to a native molecular weight. The proteins whose phosphorylation was not stimulated by cyclic AMP had minimal molecular weights of 54 000, 39 000, 34 000 and 22 000.     

Matrix-assisted ultraviolet laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry of sulfated mannans from the red seaweed Nothogenia fastigiata

Matrix-assisted ultraviolet laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-TOF-MS) was applied to sulfated xylo-mannan fractions from Nothogenia fastigiata in order to determine their molecular weights and distribution profiles. The number-average molecular weight calculated from the spectra was similar to that determined by chemical end-group analysis for the lower molecular weight fractions. For the other fractions, the number-average molecular weight was lower than that chemically determined; the increased difference may be attributed to higher desorption difficulties and, consequently, mass-dependent discrimination. A reconstructed spectrum, using the peaks obtained from all the fractions, suggested an unimodal distribution. The best results were obtained by using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid as matrix doped with 1-hydroxyisoquinoline and with harmane and nor-harmane.     

Partial separation of the pituitary proteins of Labeo umbratus, Smith (mudfish)

L. umbratus pituitary glands were partially separated by means of preparative polyacry-lamide electrophoresis and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-50. Eight fractions were obtaìned and it was found that fraction 1 contained potent adrenocorticotropic stimulating activity, with a molecular weight in the region of 6000. Fractions 3 and 4 contained potent gonadotropic and a lesser degree of exopthalmic producing activity, with molecular weights in the region of 14 000 to 20 000. Fraction 6 displayed pigeon-crop stimulating activity, with a molecular weight above 30 000. Fractions 7 and 8 displayed M.S.H. and vasopressinoxytocic activity respectively, with a molecular weight in the region of 5500–6500. Fractions 2 and 5 could not be identified. The fractions seemed to be glycoproteins and the results are discussed in relation to previous findings.     

Purification and characterisation of alpha-L-fucosidase from human placenta. pH-dependent changes in molecular size.

alpha-L-Fucosidase has been purified 12 000 fold from human placenta. The enzyme is a glycoprotein containing, by weight: 0.9% galactose; 1.9% mannose, 1.9% N-acetylglucosamine and 1.9% N-acetylneuraminic acid. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate separated proteins with molecular weights ot 55 000, 51 400 and 25 000. Resolution of the two larger protein bands varied with the gel system and these proteins may differ only in carbohydrate content. Gel filtration of te purified enzyme failed to separate the three proteins. Treatments with the cross-linking reagent dimethyl suberimidate prior to electrophoresis, resulted in a diminution of the original protein bands and the formation of oligomers with molecular weights of 80 000, 100 000, 130 000, and 144 000. These results suggest that the heavy (55 000 and 51 400) and light (25 000) proteins are structurally associated. The molecular weight of the native enzyme, measured by gel filtration, was dependent on the pH of the eluting buffer. At pH 5.0 or 6.0 a catalytically active peak was observed, with a molecular weight of 305 000. At pH 7.5 this peak was completely absent and the enzyme eluted as an asymmetrical peak with an apparent molecular weight of about 60 000. The reduction in apparent molecular weight at pH 7.5 was reversible by dialysis of isolated fractions at pH 6.0. In agreement with these findings the sedimentation coefficient was 8.5 S at pH 5.0 but only 3.6 S at pH 7.5. The results can be accounted for by the existence of a pH-dependent equilibrium between aggregated and dissociated forms of the enzyme or by pH-depedent conformational changes.     

Formation, size, and solubility in chloroform/methanol of products of protein synthesis in isolated mitochondria of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma.

The number, size, solubility in chloroform/methanol and some aspects of the formation of the components labeled by radioactive amino acids in isolated mitochondria of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma were studied. Isolated mitochondria were labeled with radioactive amino acids under various conditions, and the distribution of radioactivity in sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis of mitochondrial membrane fraction was analysed. 1. Isolated mitochondria of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma incroporated radioactive amino acids almost exclusively into the membrane fraction. Electrophoretic analysis of this fraction revealed the presence of 15 distinct peaks of radioactivity with corresponding apparent molecular weights of 10 000 to 58 000. The electrophoretic mobility of the labeled components was identical and the general pattern of the radioactivity distribution in the gel for the rat liver and the tumour mitochondria was very similar. 2. Components of the membrane fraction of rat liver mitochondria labeled in vitro displayed an unequal solubility in acidic (2 mM HC1) chloroform/methanol (2/1) mixture; as detected by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a single labeled component with apparent molecular weight of 10 000 was soluble in neutral chloroform/methanol. 3. Inverse relation was observed between amino acid incorporation activity of isolated mitochondria and the portion of the label incorporated into the component with apparent molecular weight 10 000. The identity of this component with that soluble in neutral chloroform/methanol mixture has been indicated. 4. The rate of incorporation of [3H]leucine by isolated Zajdela hepatoma mitochondria into the components with lower (10 000-25 000) apparent molecular weights decreased with time, whereas that into components with higher (above 25 000) apparent molecular weight remained approximately constant within the time interval tested (30 min). 5. From the total radioactivity incorporated into the membrane fraction during 5-min pulse labeling of isolated Zajdela hepatoma mitochondria by [3H]leucine up to 25% was recovered in the region of the gel corresponding to a component with apparent molecular weight 10 000. After 25 min chase the radioactivity in this region decreased about 3.5 times while the specific radioactivity of the total membrane fraction did not change significantly. The pattern of radioactivity distribution observed after the pulse was preserved by chloramphenicol. 6. Unlabeled sonicated mitochondria or postribosomal supernatant from rat liver regenerating in the presence of chloramphenicol were incubated with neutral chloroform/methanol extract of in vitro with [14C]leucine labeled rat liver mitochondria. After this incubation several labeled components with apparent molecular weights above 10 000 were recovered in the electrophoreograms of the originally unlabeled fractions.     

Detection of Macromolecular Fractions in HCN Polymers Using Electrophoretic and Ultrafiltration Techniques

Elucidating the origin of life involves synthetic as well as analytical challenges. Herein, for the first time, we describe the use of gel electrophoresis and ultrafiltration to fractionate HCN polymers. Since the first prebiotic synthesis of adenine by Oró, HCN polymers have gained much interest in studies on the origins of life due to the identification of biomonomers and related compounds within them. Here, we demonstrate that macromolecular fractions with electrophoretic mobility can also be detected within HCN polymers. The migration of polymers under the influence of an electric field depends not only on their sizes (one‐dimensional electrophoresis) but also their different isoelectric points (two‐dimensional electrophoresis, 2‐DE). The same behaviour was observed for several macromolecular fractions detected in HCN polymers. Macromolecular fractions with apparent molecular weights as high as 250 kDa were detected by tricine‐SDS gel electrophoresis. Cationic macromolecular fractions with apparent molecular weights as high as 140 kDa were also detected by 2‐DE. The HCN polymers synthesized were fractionated by ultrafiltration. As a result, the molecular weight distributions of the macromolecular fractions detected in the HCN polymers directly depended on the synthetic conditions used to produce these polymers. The implications of these results for prebiotic chemistry will be discussed.     

Cyanogen bromide fragments of bovine cervical mucus glycoprotein.

Treatment of bovine cervical mucus glycoprotein with cyanogen bromide gives four fractions, with the molecular weights of the three major fractions being 230 000, 130 000, and 35 000. The results indicate that, as for other glycoproteins, there are different regions along the protein core, some of which have a high sugar content and others which contain considerably less carbohydrate; it seems likely that the regions of lower sugar content may be important to intermolecular linkages. The data suggest that the basic unit of the glycoprotein has a molecular weight of 550 000-600 000, with its protein core consisting of approx. 1200 amino acid residues.     

Immunostimulatory polysaccharides from Chlorella pyrenoidosa. A new galactofuranan. measurement of molecular weight and molecular weight dispersion by DOSY NMR

Fractionation of the hot water extract of Chlorella pyrenoidosa was performed using a combination of ethanol precipitation, size exclusion chromatography, and anion exchange chromatography. One fraction contained a new polysaccharide, and this compound was shown to be a 1-->2-linked beta-d-galactofuranan from its 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra, with a molecular weight of 15 kDa from DOSY NMR measurements. A number of other fractions were shown to have the same repeating unit as the previously identified arabinogalactan. However, arabinogalactans from different fractions were shown by DOSY NMR to have different molecular weights, which ranged from 27 to 1020 kDa. Agreement with molecular weights measured for some of these fractions by SEC-MALS was very good, further confirming the relationship established by Viel et al. between molecular weights of neutral polysaccharides and self-diffusion coefficients. The smaller molecular weight polysaccharides, the galactofuranan and the 27 and 50 kDa arabinogalactans, were shown to be close to monodisperse by analysis of the distributions of the self-diffusion coefficients for the polymers. The larger arabinogalactans had considerable variation in their molecular weights (188 +/- 109 kDa and 1020 +/- 370 kDa). Only the two larger arabinogalactans showed immunostimulatory activity.
