Purification to apparent homogeneity of a thymocyte specific growth factor from calf thymus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A thymic peptide previously found to recruit thymocytes from G1 into S phase has been purified from a crude thymic extract by subsequent steps of gel exclusion chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purified material, which appeared homogeneous on thin-layer chromatography and HPLC, stimulated the DNA synthesis of cultured guinea pig thymocytes in a nanomolar concentration range. The amino acid composition revealed a high content of acidic amino acids and no apparent homology to previously defined growth factors and thymus differentiation hormones. 相似文献

Purification of mouse interleukin 2 to apparent homogeneity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A procedure has been developed for the rapid purification of mouse interleukin 2 (IL2) to apparent homogeneity, using gel filtration, anion exchange, hydrophobic chromatography, and reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). IL2 eluted at a high concentration of acetonitrile on HPLC (approximately 40%), well removed from other proteins. This protocol did not resolve isoelectric variant forms of IL2. Both the biological activity and protein migrated as a band of apparent molecular weight 22,000-23,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It had a high potency, producing 30% of the maximal response in T cell growth at a concentration of 2-4 X 10(-12) M. Mouse Il2 synthesized in a wheat germ cell-free translation system behaved similarly on RP-HPLC as the form secreted by EL4 cells. Thus, the hydrophobicity of mouse IL2, which facilitates its purification, is an intrinsic property of the protein, determined primarily by its amino acid sequence. 相似文献

Inactive kallikrein was purified from rat urine by a procedure including ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE cellulose chromatography, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and Sephadex G-75 columns. The resulting preparation was essentially homogeneous, as assessed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This preparation migrated as a single protein band on a SDS-polyacrylamide gel and the molecular weight was 41000. The purified material underwent marked activation by trypsin, but not by deoxycholate, Triton X-100, SDS or acidification. These results indicate that the purified inactive kallikrein is the precursor rather than a complex with a substance binding to the active form of kallikrein. 相似文献

Purification of sphingomyelinase to apparent homogeneity by using hydrophobic chromatography. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Placental sphingomyelinase has been purified to apparent homogeneity by a procedure that makes extensive use of hydrophobic interaction chromatography on sphingosylphosphocholine-CH-, octyl-, hexyl- and Blue-Sepharoses. Enzyme purification is about 10000- 14000-fold over starting extract with excellent yield (usually greater than 28%). Purification of bis-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate phosphodiesterase activity generally paralleled that of sphingomyelinase during the final stages of the procedure. The enzyme also hydrolysed bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate, but at a lower rate compared with bis-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate. A single major protein was observed under non-denaturing conditions. Sphingomyelinase, denatured by reduction and alkylation, is composed of a major polypeptide chain with an apparent molecular weight of 89 100 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Two minor lower-molecular-weight components were consistently obtained at 47 500 and 30 700. These results were also obtained after maleoylation of the reduced and alkylated sample. The enzyme contains a blocked-N-terminal amino acid. An extensive search for contaminating enzymes revealed the presence of minor amounts of acid phosphatase, which were removed from the final enzyme sample. The highly purified enzyme is stable for several weeks when stored with Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C. The pure enzyme aggregates under denaturing and electrophoretic conditions and special care must be taken to ensure that hydrophobic bonding of the protein is decreased as much as possible. The reproducibility and large scale of this procedure should facilitate further study on the structure and kinetic properties of the enzyme. 相似文献

Purification to homogeneity of a human hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the growth of a murine interleukin 3-dependent cell line 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
J D Watson P S Crosier C J March P J Conlon D Y Mochizuki S Gillis D L Urdal 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,137(3):854-857
A human lymphokine derived from the 5637 bladder carcinoma has been purified to homogeneity by using sequential reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. A high recovery of biological activity is obtained by using this purification. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence shows no homology to human interleukin 1 (IL 1), human IL 2, murine IL 3, or human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The growth-promoting properties of the 5637-derived factor can be rapidly assayed by using the murine IL 3-dependent 32D c1-23 cell line. The amino acid sequence described is identical to that recently described for a human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. 相似文献

Purification to apparent homogeneity of the mating pheromone of mat-1 homozygous Euplotes raikovi 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Mating type-specific mating pheromones autonomously released into the environment control cell-cell union in conjugation of the marine ciliate Euplotes raikovi. The mating pheromone, termed euplomone r-1, of cells of the homozygous mating type determined by the mat-1/mat-1 genotype was purified by means of a three-stage purification procedure which provides a yield of 79%. Starting from 10 liters of supernatant, 3.3 mg of euplomone r-1 were regularly recovered. Euplomone r-1 was identified with a protein showing a molecular weight of 12,000, an isoelectric point of 3.7, and unusually high contents of cysteine (15%) and tyrosine (5.8%). It appeared active at a concentration of 3.4 +/- 0.5 X 10(-12) M. Carbohydrate and a small colored compound, not yet identified, occurred in association with partially purified euplomone r-1 samples, whereas they were not detected in samples of the final product of purification. An acidic shift was apparently capable of destroying the carbohydrate/euplomone r-1 association, suggesting that it does not involve covalent bonds. 相似文献

T cell growth factor produced by the MLA144 gibbon ape lymphosarcoma T lymphocyte line was separated into two molecular forms of Mr 16,300 and Mr 14,300 which were purified 32,000-fold and 82,000-fold, respectively, and which in combination constitute the majority of biological activity of the starting material. The overall recovery of biological activity was 50%. This was accomplished with a series of chromatographic steps including reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The purified proteins are of comparable specific activities and each maintains the DNA synthesis of T cell growth factor-dependent human T cell lines at concentrations of less than approximately 18 pM (300 fg/ml). 相似文献

DNA helicase from calf thymus. Purification to apparent homogeneity and biochemical characterization of the enzyme 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We have purified a DNA helicase from calf thymus to apparent homogeneity by monitoring the activity with a strand displacement assay. DNA helicase followed the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex through chromatography on phosphocellulose and hydroxylapatite. Separation from DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex as well as from the bulk of another DNA-dependent ATPase was achieved on heparin-Sepharose. Further purification steps included ATP-agarose and fast protein liquid chromatography-Mono S. A 47-kDa polypeptide cosedimented with the DNA helicase activity in a glycerol gradient as well as in gel filtration on Superose 6. The calf thymus DNA helicase had a sedimentation coefficient of 4-7 S and Stokes radius of about 45 A suggesting that the enzyme might be monomer in its functional form. DNA helicase activity requires a divalent cation with Mg2+ being more efficient than Mn2+ or Ca2+. Hydrolysis of ATP is required since the two nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and adenylyl (beta, gamma-methylene)diphosphonate cannot substitute for ATP or dATP in the displacement reaction. Calf thymus DNA helicase is able to use ATP, dATP, dideoxy-ATP, CTP, and dCTP with Km for ATP and dATP of 0.2 and 0.25 mM, respectively. The enzyme can displace a fragment of 24 bases completely in an enzyme concentration- and time-dependent manner. The DNA helicase appears to bind to single-stranded DNA and to move to single-strand double-strand transition. The directionality of unwinding is 3'----5' with respect to the single-stranded DNA to which the enzyme is bound. 相似文献

Purification of the human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase and uracil-DNA glycosylase, the latter to apparent homogeneity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Uracil-DNA glycosylase, the enzyme that catalyzes the release of free uracil from single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, has been purified 26,600-fold from HeLa S3 cell extracts. The enzyme preparation was essentially homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native enzyme is a small monomeric protein of molecular mass 29 kDa. A minor uracil-DNA glycosylase preparation was also obtained in the final chromatographic step. This preparation is homogeneous with a molecular mass of 29 kDa and may represent the mitochondrial enzyme. This report also presents a 700-fold purification of HeLa S3 cell O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase. The glycosylase and methyltransferase showed very similar chromatographic properties. The report indicates that the lability of the methyltransferase upon purification may be a consequence of the total separation of the two DNA repair enzymes or of the possibility that some other stabilizing factor is involved. 相似文献

Purification to apparent homogeneity and partial characterization of rat liver UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase is a soluble protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that catalyzes the glucosylation of protein-linked, glucose-free, high mannose-type oligosaccharides. In vivo, the newly glucosylated compounds are immediately deglucosylated, presumably by glucosidase II. The glucosyltransferase has been purified to apparent homogeneity from rat liver. The enzyme appears to have a molecular weight of 150,000 and 270,000 under denaturing and native conditions, respectively. The pure enzyme shows an almost absolute requirement for Ca2+ ions and for UDP-Glc as sugar donor. The same as crude preparations, the pure enzyme synthesized Glc1 Man7-9GlcNAc2-protein from Man7-9GlcNAc2-protein. Denatured glycoproteins are glucosylated much more efficiently than native ones by the apparently homogeneous glucosyltransferase. Availability of the pure enzyme will allow testing the possible involvement of transient glucosylation of glycoproteins in the folding of glycoproteins and/or in the mechanism by which cells dispose of malfolded glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

This communication reports the isolation and the purification of the gastric somatostatin receptor from the human cell line HGT-1. The receptor has been extracted from the cell membrane by Triton X 100, and a monoclonal antibody to this was prepared. A series of affinity chromatographies (Sepharose-antibody and Sepharose-somatostatin-14) and a final purification by steric exclusion on high performance liquid chromatography columns (HPLC) allowed us to obtain a fraction enriched 20,000 fold in 125I-Tyrll-somatostatin-14 specific binding (apparent dissociation constant: 7.6 x 10(-8) M). This fraction corresponded to a molecular mass of about 90 kDa (in presence of detergent) and to a maximal binding capacity of more than 10,000 pmol/protein. It therefore has a theoretical homogeneity close to 100%. 相似文献

Purification of MEA, a mast cell growth-enhancing activity, to apparent homogeneity and its partial amino acid sequencing 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A novel growth factor for bone marrow derived murine mucosal type mast cells has been isolated from the conditioned medium of the Mlsa-reactive mouse Th cell line MLS-4.2. In proliferation assays this growth factor synergizes, like IL-4, with IL-3 on established mast cell lines and was therefore termed MEA: mast cell growth enhancing activity. MEA was characterized as a glycoprotein with a Mr range between 37,000 and 43,000. Apparent homogeneity was obtained by using a four-step purification scheme including cation exchange chromatography, Procion red affinity chromatography, IEF, and gel filtration. Inasmuch as MEA was N-terminally blocked during automated Edman-degradation, peptide fragments after digestion with trypsin were used for partial amino acid sequence determination. All evaluable MEA peptide fragments showed complete sequence homology to a recently purified and cloned novel T cell growth factor (P40/TCGF III), the mouse homologue of human IL-9. 相似文献

Purification to apparent homogeneity and partial amino acid sequence of rat liver O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (ATase) activity was increased in rat liver from 80 to 320 fmoles/mg total protein 48 h after administration of 2-acetylaminofluorene at 60 mg/kg body weight. This tissue was used as a source of ATase which was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and DNA-cellulose, molecular exclusion and ion exchange chromatography (IEC). IEC purified material showed a major 24 kDa band after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with silver staining. Fluorography of purified ATase following incubation with [3H]-methylated substrate DNA and PAGE showed a single band at 24 kDa suggesting that, as with bacterial ATases, the protein itself accepts the alkyl group from O6-alkylguanine in substrate DNA during the repair reaction. Further purification of the protein using reverse phase HPLC resulted in a single peak representing approximately 125,000 fold purification. This was subjected to amino-terminal sequencing and it was found that the protein was blocked at the amino-terminal end: it was cleaved using trypsin or cyanogen bromide and the amino acid sequence of several reverse phase HPLC purified fragments was determined. 相似文献

Hierarchical down-modulation of hemopoietic growth factor receptors 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
Granulocytes and macrophages can be produced in vitro when progenitor cells from mouse bone marrow are stimulated by any of four distinct colony stimulating factors, Multi-CSF (IL-3), GM-CSF, G-CSF, and M-CSF (CSF-1). At 0 degrees C the four CSFs do not cross-compete for binding to bone marrow cells, indicating that each has a specific cell surface receptor. However, at 21 degrees C or 37 degrees C, Multi-CSF inhibits binding of the other three CSFs and GM-CSF inhibits binding of G-CSF and M-CSF. Rather than competing directly for receptor binding, the binding of Multi-CSF, GM-CSF, or G-CSF to their own receptor induces the down-modulation (and thus activation) of other CSF receptors at 37 degrees C. The pattern and potency of down-modulation activity exhibited by each type of CSF parallels the pattern and potency of its biological activity. We propose a model in which the biological interactions of the four CSFs are explained by their ability to down-modulate and activate lineage-specific receptors. 相似文献

Lineage specific receptors used to identify a growth factor for developmentally early hemopoietic cells: assay of hemopoietin-2 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A new approach, based on the occurrence of receptors for the mononuclear phagocyte lineage specific hemopoietic growth factor (HGF) colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) on developmentally early multipotent cells, is utilized to detect and assay rapidly another HGF, hemopoietin-2. This method is also used to determine the relative maturity of hemopoietin-2 target cells, to investigate synergism between hemopoietin-2 and CSF-1, and to measure CSF-1 receptor levels on maturing cells. While the target cell specificities of hemopoietin-2 and CSF-1 overlap, hemopoietin-2 causes the appearance of developmentally earlier 125I-CSF-1 binding cells de novo in the absence of CSF-1. Increased CSF-1 receptor densities are observed on cells incubated with either HGF, consistent with acquisition of the capacity for increased expression of the receptor by mononuclear phagocyte progenitor cells just prior to their differentiation to adherent mononuclear phagocytes. Together, both HGFs have a synergistic effect on the generation of 125I-CSF-1 binding cells with elevated CSF-1 receptor densities. Preliminary characterization of hemopoietin-2 from medium conditioned by WEHI-3 cells indicates that it is very similar to, if not identical with, interleukin-3 (IL-3) and the HGF(s) acting on multipotential cells and cells giving rise to erythroid cells, granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, and megakaryocytes. Purified IL-3 was shown to possess hemopoietin-2 activity. 相似文献

The lymphokine suppressor cell-inducing factor (SIF), obtained from 15 liters of serum-free culture supernatants of the natural suppressor cell line, M1-A5, has been purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, and reverse-phase-HPLC. Purity of SIF was assessed by the migration of the factor as a single band on SDS-PAGE, and the elution from reverse-phase-HPLC column as a single and sharp peak. SIF activity was retained after both procedures. Two protein factors with SIF activity were isolated from M1-A5 culture supernatants. The first protein factor (SIF alpha) had a Mr of 43 kDa, and the second protein factor (SIF beta) had a Mr of 6 kDa. Final purification of SIF alpha yielded 5 micrograms protein with specific activity of 4 x 10(6) U/mg protein. Final purification of SIF beta yielded 40 micrograms protein with specific activity of 7.5 x 10(7) U/mg protein. The relationship between SIF alpha and SIF beta, as well as the relationship with other suppressor factors, will be addressed. 相似文献
