A modification of the iodometric technique using an overlay gel was employed for fast identification and isolation of beta-lactamase types TEM, SHV and AmpC from non-denaturing gels. Osmotic shock preparations of the three beta-lactamases were run on polyacrylamide gels without SDS and ampicillin containing overlay gels were flooded with the iodine solution before being placed on polyacrylamide gel strips. Distinct clear bands appeared in dark blue backgrounds indicating beta-lactamase activity.  相似文献

Plasma membranes, isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells and seed proteins from Arachis hypogaea (L.) were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Polypeptides were solubilized without employing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), using in its place 5 mm K2CO3 and 9.5 m urea. After addition of dithiothreitol and the nonionic detergent Nonidet P-40, more than 95% of the total protein remained in the supernatant fraction after the preparation was centrifuged at 100,000 g. The solubilization was comparable to that achieved with boiling SDS solution. This soluble material could be used directly for either isoelectric focusing or nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis in narrow bore, tubular, polyacrylamide gels crosslinked by means of N,N′-diallyltartardiamide. Up to 750 μg of protein could be analyzed in one such 3 mm gel. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide slab gels containing SDS was used for separations in the second dimension. The method allows large amounts of both basic and acidic insoluble proteins to be solubilized and then analyzed without employing SDS as a solubilizing agent. Classes of glycoproteins on the gels were detected by incubating with small volumes of 125I-lectins in heat-sealed plastic bags. CHO cells contain several high molecular weight acidic glycoproteins that bind wheat germ agglutinin, but which do not stain with Coomassie blue. Several of the storage polypeptides in peanut seeds were also shown to bind wheat germ agglutinin and are probably, therefore, glycoproteins containing N-acetyl d-glucosamine.  相似文献

The major glycoprotein of the human erythrocyte membrane has been released from ghosts, by the non-ionic detergent Tween 20 at pH 8,5 and at low ionic strength and further purified by successive passages through columns of DEAE Sephadex at pH 6,8 and CM Sephadex at pH 5 or by hydroxyapatite chromatography at pH 6,8. The purified glycoprotein thus obtained represents about 1 % of the membrane proteins, and shows two major bands upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These bands designed as PAS 1 and PAS 2 are the dimer and the monomer of the glycoprotein. Several other minor bands can also appear on SDS gels, according to experimental conditions of solubilization and purification and are probably oligomers of PAS 1 and PAS 2. This glycoprotein possess inhibitory activity against various phytohemagglutinins.  相似文献

A neutral proteinase, capable of degrading gelatin, has been found in both an active and a latent form in the medium from the culture of rat mesangial cells. The latent form had an Mr of 80,000-100,000 and could be activated with either 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate or prolonged incubation at neutral pH. The active form of the enzyme was extensively purified. The estimated Mr of the purified enzyme on gel filtration was approximately 200,000, indicating that the active enzyme formed aggregates. However, analysis by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions showed two protein bands, with Mr 68,000 and 66,000. Both proteins were found to contain proteolytic activity when run on SDS/substrate gels. The enzyme was inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, but not by inhibitors for cysteine, serine or aspartic proteinases. The enzyme did not digest fibronectin, bovine serum albumin, proteoglycan or interstitial collagen. The enzyme degraded pepsin-solubilized placental type V collagen at 31 degrees C, whereas similarly solubilized type IV collagen was only degraded at higher temperatures. In addition, the neutral proteinase degraded native soluble type IV collagen. It also had activity on insoluble type IV collagen of glomerular basement membrane. The above properties suggest that the mesangial neutral proteinase belongs to the gelatinase group of metalloproteinases and that it may play a role in the normal turnover of extracellular glomerular matrix.  相似文献

A new method is described for analysis of histone H1 and other basic proteins by cationic disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels at neutral pH. The multiphasic buffer (disc) system uses Na+ as leading ion, L-histidine as trailing ion, and Hepes as buffering counterion. These "Hepes/histidine gels" have three advantages over conventional acid-urea gels for studies of H1 phosphorylation and dephosphorylation: speed, convenience, and the need for only small amounts of cells or chromatin. Core histones and their acetylated forms can also be separated in gels containing 0.4% Triton X-100. The difference in electrophoretic mobility between mitotic (superphosphorylated) and interphase H1 from HeLa cells is approximately twice as great at neutral pH as at pH 4.5, making it possible to separate these two H1 forms rapidly and easily in Hepes/histidine "minigels" only 5-cm long. Total histones can be rapidly prepared by simply neutralizing 0.2 N HCl extracts, and the entire analysis, from harvesting cells to destaining gels, can be carried out in 1 day. The stacking effect of the disc system produces sharp bands and high resolution even with relatively dilute samples.  相似文献

Nuclear membranes and plasma membranes of chicken erythrocytes were tested for some enzyme activities and polypeptide content. Both membranes show ATPase and NADH cytochrome c reductase activities, which were higher for nuclear membrane preparations; besides the nuclear membrane ATPase is not stimulated by Na + K + ions. SDS solubilization of these membranes followed by separation using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis yields about 25 bands. Nuclear membranes and plasma membranes possess specific bands; some differences were seen when adult and embryonic membranes were compared.  相似文献

High molecular weight forms of the insulin receptor   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The insulin receptor of liver, adipose, and placental plasma membranes was photoaffinity labeled with radioiodinated N epsilon B29-(monoazidobenzoyl)insulin. Three specifically labeled bands of 450, 360, and 260 kilodaltons (kDa) were identified in each tissue by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the membranes solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The 360- and 260-kDa bands corresponded to partially reduced forms of the 450-kDa band. The distribution of radioactivity between the three insulin receptor bands was dependent on the tissue, the purity of the receptor preparation, and the conditions of solubilization in SDS. The 360- and 260-kDa bands became more prominent in each tissue with an increasing time of solubilization in SDS. However, with a short solubilization time in SDS, the 450-, 360-, and 260-kDa bands of the receptor were distributed approximately in a ratio of 85:15:0 in all three tissues. Inclusion of sulfhydryl alkylating reagents during solubilization in SDS altered this ratio to about 95:5:0. We conclude that the 450-kDa band represents the predominant form of the photolabeled insulin receptor and that the 260-kDa and probably the 360-kDa form as well were generated during the experimental manipulations preceding identification of the receptor. However, the appearance of the 360- and 260-kDa bands was not due to reductant present in SDS or buffer solutions and could not be accounted for by proteolytic degradation of the receptor. Furthermore, purification of the receptor over 2000-fold did not prevent the appearance of the 360- and 260-kDa bands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Extruded trichocysts are composed of a family of proteins with molecular weights between 15,000 and 20,000. We have used heat treatment and affinity chromatography on fluphenazine-Sepharose to purify calmodulinlike proteins from whole cells and from extruded trichocysts. The purified protein from trichocysts is indistinguishable from that of whole cells; it is heat-stable, activates brain phosphodiesterase in a Ca++-dependent fashion, changes mobility on SDS polyacrylamide gels in the presence of Ca++, contains 1 mol of trimethyllysine/17 kdaltons, and has the amino acid composition characteristic of calmodulins. Calmodulin is a major component of purified, extruded trichocysts, of which it represents between 1 and 10% by mass. The other proteins of the trichocyst also resemble calmodulin in several properties. Possible roles for calmodulin in the Ca++-activated extrusion of trichocysts is discussed.  相似文献

Fractionation of individual, biologically active factor VIII multimers   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We have designed an electrophoretic system for the fractionation of individual, biologically active multimers of factor VIII. Human factor VIII, purified by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B from plasma cryoprecipitate, was submitted to electrophoresis without SDS on 2.0% polyacrylamide gels in 0.04 M Tris/0.06 M Tes buffer, pH 7.5. Staining with Coomassie blue revealed a series of protein bands. Measurement of electrophoretic mobility showed constant size intervals between adjacent bands. Electrophoresis in a second dimension, in the presence of SDS, resulted in an identical order of mobilities, suggesting that the different migration rates of factor VIII proteins in the first electrophoretic system were size- and not charge-dependent. After electrophoresis in the absence of SDS both factor VIII coagulant and ristocetin cofactor activities as well as factor VIII-related antigen were recovered by elution from gel slices. The distribution of activity peaks resembled that of Coomassie-stained factor VIII proteins found in control gels. We thus demonstrate that an electrophoretic fractionation of factor VIII multimers is possible even at neutral pH where factor VIII activities are retained.  相似文献

An examination has been made of the effect which temperature of solubilization has upon the subsequent migration in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins from the cell envelopes of Escherichia coli K12 and Neisseria sicca ATCC 9913. Conventional electrophoresis in tubes revealed substantial differences in the staining patterns of gels, depending upon whether the envelope samples were solubilized at 37 degrees C or 100 degrees C; in the case of N. sicca at least 6 of 13 discernible bands displayed heat-modifiable behavior. The relationship of the bands produced by each of the two temperatures was investigated by a two-dimensional electrophoresis procedure, in which a sample was solubilized at 37 degrees C and run in a usual cylindrical gel; the entire gel was then resolubilized at 100 degrees C, and laid along an acrylamide slab for electrophoresis in the second dimension. It was found that "free endotoxin" of both organisms examined contained the same major proteins as the total envelope fraction, and that these free endotoxin proteins showed the same heat-modifiable properties as when present in total envelopes.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Trichocysts of Pseudomicrothorax dubius were ejected by 15% ethanol in phosphate-buffered culture medium (CM) and purified on discontinuous sucrose gradients, in which they concentrated in the lower part of the 27% phase and in the 57% phase. These phases were washed by 15% ethanol in CM, or by CM alone, and pooled. Ejected trichocysts observed by Nomarski interference contrast microscopy and after negative-staining for electron microscopy show a shaft with periodic cross-bands and four opened-out arms, sometimes with electron-dense droplets at both ends of each arm. On SDS-PAGE, trichocysts show ?20 protein bands. The major bands are at 31 and 30 kD (G1), 27 and 26.5 kD (G2), 25 kD, 23 kD, and six bands at 15–20 kD (G3). Minor bands are observed above 30 kD, among them ciliary components which contaminate the trichocyst fraction. The trichocyst banding pattern was reproducible with different ejection media; however, the 30 kD disappeared when the buffered ejection medium contained no added Ca2+ or contained EDTA. When the trichocyst extract is solubilized in sample buffer without 2-mercaptoethanol, the major trichocyst bands are those of G1 and bands at 32.5–35 kD and 41 kD, which appear to be dimers of a few of the G3 proteins. On two-dimensional gels of trichocysts, ?40 acidic protein spots are resolved with pI's of 4.6–6.6. On Western blots of two-dimensional gels, glycoproteins were revealed by Concavalin A-peroxidase labeling in three spots of G3, in two spots at 23 kD, in all five spots of G1, and in seven spots over 35 kD.  相似文献

Analytical isoelectric focusing (IEF) has been applied to the study of the apolipoprotein components of rat serum high density and very low density lipoproteins. The apolipoproteins were separated on 7.5% polyacrylamide gels containing 6.8% urea, with a pH gradient of 4-6. The middle molecular weight range apolipoproteins were identified on IEF gels by the use of apolipoproteins purified by electrophoresis on gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The A-1 protein focused as 4 to 5 bands from pH 5.46 to 5.82; the A-IV protein and the arginine-rich protein each focused as 4 to 6 bands from pH 5.31 to 5.46. The low molecular weight proteins focused from pH. 4.43 to 4.83 and are the subject of a separate communication. Comparisons of the IEF method with SDS gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in urea, and Sephadex chromatography are also reported. Additional studies were also carried out that tend to rule out carbamylation or incomplete unfolding of the proteins in the presence of urea as the causes of the observed heterogeneity.  相似文献

We have examined the self-association of glycophorin A, the major sialoglycoprotein of the human erythrocyte membrane, using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gels and circular dichroism. Pure glycophorin A has a tendency to form multiple bands on SDS gels at positions of higher apparent molecular weight than the PAS 1 and PAS 2 bands previously seen. These high molecular weight bands do not have mobilities corresponding to integral polymers of PAS 1 and PAS 2. Circular dichroism spectra of solutions giving rise to these bands or to PAS 1 and PAS 2 bands alone, indicate that these species all have essentially the same peptide conformation.  相似文献

The frequently observed instability of neutral salt solutions of native collagen extracted from various sources and partially purified by standard procedures has been studied by disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel and by electron microscopic examination of segment long spacing crystallites. The phenomenon has revealed time and temperature dependency, pH optima near neutrality, and inhibition by sodium EDTA and serum. In addition, collagen breakdown has been found to be quantitatively related to the state of aggregation of the substrate, being more marked in reconstituted collagen gels than in collagen in solution. A typical pattern of animal collagenase degradation of native collagen into two fragments designated as TCA and TCB has been observed under certain conditions. It is concluded that the degradation of native collagen in neutral salt solution is due to a specific collagenase, and that this enzyme probably remains bound to collagen throughout the process of extraction and partial purification. Experiments with gelatin suggest that, in addition to collagenase, a nonspecific proteolytic activity may also be present in collagen preparations.  相似文献

Abstract— Evidence for multiple forms of the α and β subunits of tubulin isolated from rat brain has been obtained by means of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, and SDS hydroxylapatite column chromatography. Fourteen distinct bands, localized near pH 5.4, were formed when tubulin was subjected to isoelectric focusing in a gradient established with a very narrow range ampholyte mixture. Three tubulin subunits, a1., α2, and β, were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis in a second dimension. The β subunit was more acidic than the α subunits. Brain sections were incubated in tissue culture medium containing 32P1 and radiolabeled tubulin was subsequently isolated and subjected to electrophoresis. Only the β subunit was labeled. All radioactivity was associated with two or three adjacent bands on isoelectric focusing gels.  相似文献

We report a new and facile extraction method of proteins and polypeptides in the range of 100 to 1 kDa previously separated by high-resolution SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Proteins and polypeptides obtained by chemical or proteolytic cleavage of proteins can directly be applied to high-sensitivity N-terminal amino-acid sequence analysis by gas-phase sequencing. The Coomassie Blue-stained protein bands are eluted from the gel slices with 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 8.5, 0.1% SDS in high yield and directly applied to the filter disc of the gas-phase sequencer. The superior efficiency for the isolation of proteins and polypeptides from polyacrylamide gels for microsequencing has been documented by a quantitative comparison of the procedure described here and the favoured electroblot-transfer method using 14C-labeled marker proteins. This highly efficient isolation has been successfully reproduced and applied to the analysis of a variety of proteins and peptides with rather divergent physical properties, particularly to hydrophobic peptides isolated from SDS/polyacrylamide gels. The electrophoretic transfer onto activated glass filters. Immobilon membranes (polyvinylidene-difluoride membranes), siliconized or chemically activated glass fiber supports can be omitted. The method considerably simplifies and speeds up the isolation, and improves the sensitivity as compared to the electroblotting procedures due to the reproducibly high recoveries.  相似文献

1. Purified citrate-extracted ichthyocol obtained from carp swim bladders has been further characterized with respect to its content of certain amino acids and carbohydrate substances. 2. The degree of solubilization or dispersion of ichthyocol by solutions of certain salts maintained in the range of neutral pH and at a temperature of 0-2 degrees C. has been determined. 3. While a number of salts of monovalent cations had no significant solubilizing effects on ichthyocol, ammonium chloride in a concentration of 1 M did cause solution of the protein. 4. Sodium thiosulfate in a range of concentrations caused the solubilization of ichthyocol but was most effective in an intermediate concentration of 0.25 M. 5. Several salts of divalent cations, in particular the chlorides of calcium, magnesium, and barium, and magnesium thiosulfate in concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 1 M caused the immediate and complete solubilization of the ichthyocol. 6. Solutions of ichthyocol in calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium thiosulfate buffered or adjusted to pH 7.0, were studied with respect to intrinsic viscosity of the protein, optical rotation, ultracentrifugal sedimentation, and reconstitution into fibers. It was found in each case that the original characteristics of the collagen, as determined previously in acid solution, were maintained when the protein was dissolved in salt solutions of neutral pH. No evidence of denaturation or gelatinization could be found when ichthyocol was solubilized under the stated conditions. 7. Collagen in neutral solution with sodium thiosulfate, calcium chloride, or magnesium chloride was not attacked by trypsin as determined viscometrically at 20.0 degrees C., but was rapidly degraded by a purified bacterial collagenase.  相似文献

Chromatin from the tuber of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) was solubilized in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) solution (100 mM) at pH 7.0. This solubilization was much affected by the pH; below 6.0 less chromatin was solubilized. The elution pattern of the products on gel filtration with Sepharose 4B showed that the solubilization was caused by the dissociation of the DNA and associated proteins. The pattern of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of histones extracted from the chromatin solubilized by 2,4-D was quite different from those of histones extracted from the original chromatin or from NaCl (2.0M) solubilized chromatin. The F1 and F3 fractions seemed to be little affected by 2,4-D, but the F2a1, F2a2 and F2b fractions were greatly decreased. In addition, the ratios of histones and non-histone proteins to DNA changed considerably in 2,4-D solubilized chromatin in an inverse manner. None of these changes were observed with NaCl. which suggests that the behaviour of 2,4-D for the solubilization of chromatin differs substantially from that of NaCl.  相似文献

A procedure to assay isozymes of beta-1,3-glucanase directly on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and isoelectrofocusing (IEF) gels by using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride is described. The reagent reacts with reducing sugars released by beta-1,3-glucanases from the substrate laminarin. Acidic and neutral isozymes of beta-1,3-glucanase were detected and quantified on 17.5% native PAGE gels run with an anodic buffer system. A significant linear relationship (alpha = less than 0.01, R = 0.991) was observed between amounts of beta-1,3-glucanase loaded and intensity of bands stained with the reagent on native PAGE gels. A full isozyme pattern was obtained on 7.5% IEF gels with a pH range of 3.5-9.5. The IEF gels were heated in a microwave oven during the staining process to minimize diffusion.  相似文献

Over two hundred polypeptides resolved from the human erythrocyte membrane   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A modification of O'Farrell's method of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has allowed for the resolution of erythrocyte membranes showing up to 200 individual components. Data is presented which indicates that this protein heterogeneity is not produced by artifactual protein-protein aggregation, ednogenous protease activity of secondary charge modification. Similar patterns are obtained when the samples are added to the unpolymerized isoelectric focusing gel, and isolated and stored in protease inhibitor. Individual spots could be eluted off of stained gels, resolubilized under extreme detergent solubilization conditions and run on one-dimensional gels; these run as sodium dodecyl sulfate in the solubilization procedure. The method chosen for solubilization prior to isoelectric focusing appears to cause selective aggregation of all or most of the spectrin and band 3 proteins. This further allows for excellent resolution of more components.  相似文献
