The mitogenicity of germ cell proteins released from round spermatids (RS) and pachytene spermatocytes (PS) was investigated. Germ cells were isolated by centrifugal elutriation from 90-day-old rat testes and incubated in a supplement enriched culture media that lacked exogenous proteins. The conditioned culture media of RS and PS were dialysed/concentrated and lyophilized to prepare RS protein (RSP) and PS protein (PSP). Mitogenic activity of RSP and PSP was determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation into Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. RSP and PSP stimulated 3H-thymidine incorporation by fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. At a higher concentration of RSP (300 micrograms/ml), fibroblast proliferation was stimulated from 6- to 20-fold of control cultures, whereas PSP (300 micrograms/ml) stimulated fibroblast proliferation 2.5-fold of control cultures. Since RSP exhibited substantially greater mitogenic activity than PSP we further investigated the RSP mitogenic substance(s) by immunoneutralization with antibodies against several growth factors. The mitogenic activity of RSP was significantly reduced by treatment with nerve growth factor (NGF) antibody, while neither the treatment of RSP with acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) antibody, nor basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) antibody significantly modified the mitogenic activity of RSP. Interestingly, murine NGF-beta, recombinant human NGF-beta, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) did not exhibit mitogenic activity on 3T3 fibroblasts. Nevertheless, the presence of a NGF-like protein in RS and PS was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence staining with a murine NGF antibody. Subsequently, a Western blot analysis with the NGF antibody identified two immunoreactive bands of 41 +/- 2 kDa and 51 +/- 1 kDa in both RSP and PSP under reduced conditions. These germ cell NGF-like proteins were apparently different from similarly prepared murine and human NGFs (13 kDa) in their molecular weight. Furthermore, neurite outgrowth from pheochromocytoma cells (PC-12), a functional bioassay for NGF-like activity, was stimulated by addition of RSP and PSP to the culture media of the PC-12 cells. These results demonstrate mitogenic activity in germ cell proteins (RSP and PSP) and identify a NGF-like protein(s) which is associated with most of this activity.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] decreases levels of mRNA for prepro-PTH as well as PTH secretion after chronic exposure (24-48 h) of parathyroid cells in tissue culture. We have now extended these studies to determine the effects of the vitamin D3 metabolite on parathyroid secretory protein (PSP) gene expression. Primary cultures of bovine parathyroid cells were incubated with 10(-8) M 1,25-(OH)2D3 for periods of time ranging from 24-72 h. As observed in earlier experiments, prepro-PTH mRNA decreased to less than 50% of the control value after 72 h. In marked contrast, PSP mRNA showed a 2.5-fold increase by 24 h and greater than 7-fold stimulation by 72 h. In the same studies, PTH secretion was suppressed (to 60% of control), while PSP secretion was increased by 40% over control values. Exposure to high (2.5 mM) or low (0.5 mM) calcium had no effect on PSP mRNA, even though low calcium stimulated the secretion of PSP while high calcium suppressed secretion. These studies showed that 1,25-(OH)2D3 has opposite effects on the gene expression of PSP and PTH in bovine parathyroid cells in tissue culture.  相似文献

A cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) from sea urchin sperm as purified to near homogeneity and characterized. A 68-fold purification of the enzyme was obtained. This preparation had a specific activity of 389 000 units/mg protein with protamine as the substrate. On the basis of the purification required, it may be calculated that the protein kinase constitutes as much as 1.5% of the soluble protein in sperm. There appeared to be a single form of the enzyme in sea urchin sperm, based on the behavior of the enzyme during DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Magnesium ion was required for enzyme activity. The rate of phosphorylation of protamine was stimulated 2.5-fold by an optimal concentration of 0.9 M NaCl. The Km for ATP (minus cyclic AMP) was 0.119 +/- 0.013 (S.D.) and 0.055 mM +/- 0.009 (S.D.) in the presence of cyclic AMP. The specificity of the enzyme toward protein acceptors, in decreasing order of phosphorylation, was found to be histone f1 protamine, histone f2b, histone f3 and histone f2a; casein and phosvitin were not phosphorylated. The holoenzyme was found to have an apparent molecular weight of 230 000 by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. In the presence of 5 - 10(-6) M cyclic AMP, the holoenzyme was dissociated on Sephadex G-200 to a regulatory subunit of molecular weight 165 000 and a catalytic subunit of Mr 73 000. The dissociation could also be demonstrated by disc gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of cyclic AMP.  相似文献

The effect of exercise on mitochondria respiration was studied in gastrocnemius muscle of ovariectomized rats, pseudopregnant rats, and estrous rats. The estrous cycles were followed by vaginal smears. Rats were made pseudopregnant (PSP) by 45 s cervical stimulation with a glass rod on the day of estrous. The treadmill protocol (21 m/min, 10 grade uphill) induced a significant decrease in state 3 oxygen consumption (oxidative phosphorylation) in estrous (0.26 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.49 +/- 0.05 microatoms O min(-1) mg protein(-1)) and ovariectomized rats (0.18 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.40 +/- 0.03 microatoms O min(-1) mg protein(-1)). In contrast, pseudopregnant and progesterone-treated ovariectomized rats did not decrease state 3 nor state 4 respiratory rates. These results show that the effect of exercise on mitochondria respiration does vary according to the hormonal status.  相似文献

A fragment of E. coli 16S RNA has been obtained by its hydrolysis with pancreatic RNAase A coupled to Sepharose 4B. This fragment has a molecular weight of 170 000 and a sedimentation coefficient of 13S. It does not aggregate in solution and binds with the ribosomal protein S4. The 13S fragment and it complex with the protein S4 have been studied by different physical methods in the first place, by neutron scattering. It has been shown that this fragment is compact in solution. The radii of gyration of the fragment (50 +/- 3 A) and of the protein S4 within the complex (17 +/- 3 A) coincide, within limits of experimental error, with the radii of gyration for the free RNA fragment (47 +/- 2 A) and the free ribosomal protein S4 in solution (18 +/- 2 A). Hence, the conclusion is made that the compactness of the 13S fragment of the 16S RNA and the ribosomal protein S4 does not change at the complex formation. The compact 13S fragment of the 16S RNA is shown to be contrast matched in the H2O/D2O mixture containing 70% D2O which corresponds to its partial specific volume v equal to 0.537 cm3/g.  相似文献

This study aimed to prolong the raw buffalo milk handling and cold storage period by controlling the microbes, enhancing sensory properties and their functionality after supplementing bioactive peptides. The additions included hen and duck egg white protein isolates (HPI and DPI), pepper seed protein (PSP), and pepsin-kidney bean protein hydrolysate (PKH). Five milk treatments were prepared and evaluated as non-supplemented milk (M- Control), hen egg white protein isolate-supplemented milk (M-HPI), duck egg white protein isolate-supplemented milk (M-DPI), pepper seeds protein-supplemented milk (M-PSP), and kidney bean hydrolysate-supplemented milk (M-PKH). Pyrogallol, protocatechuic, catechin, benzoic and caffeine were the main phenolic compounds, Apignin-6-arabinose, naringin, hesperidin, naringenin, kaempferol 3–2-p-comaroyl were the dominant flavonoids in milk samples based on HPLC profile. During 30 days of cold storage, the antioxidant potential of peptides-supplemented milk samples was significantly decreased (p ≤ 0.05) as decrement of phenolic compounds and flavonoids; the pH was nearly stable, the titratable acidity and total soluble solids (TTS) were (p ≤ 0.05) raised. PSP and PKH were inhibited (p ≤ 0.05) the decay of sugars in M-PSP, and M-PKH by reducing 45% of bacterial load as compared to other milk samples. PSP was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) scavenged 87% of DPPḢ compared to other peptides. Besides, PSP followed by PKH reduced considerably (p ≤ 0.05) the growth of tested bacteria, molds, and yeasts. The PSP has significantly increased the whiteness of M-PSP as compared to other milk samples. M-PSP had the highest score in color, taste, and flavor, followed by M-PKH.  相似文献

Isolated, intact rat liver nuclei have high-affinity (Kd = 10(-9) M) binding sites that are highly specific for nonsteroidal antiestrogens, especially for compounds of the triphenylethylene series. Nuclear [3H]tamoxifen binding capacity is thermolabile, being most stable at 4 degrees C and rapidly lost at 37 degrees C. More [3H]tamoxifen, however, is specifically bound at incubation temperatures of 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C although prewarming nuclei has no effect, suggesting exchange of [3H]tamoxifen for an unidentified endogeneous ligand. Nuclear antiestrogen binding sites are destroyed by trypsin but not by deoxyribonuclease I or ribonuclease A. The nuclear antiestrogen binding protein is not solubilized by 0.6 M potassium chloride, 2 M sodium chloride, 0.6 M sodium thiocyanate, 3 M urea, 20 mM pyridoxal phosphate, 1% (w/v) digitonin or 2% (w/v) sodium cholate but is extractable by sonication, indicating that it is tightly bound within the nucleus. Rat liver nuclear matrix contains high-affinity (Kd = 10(-9) M) [3H]tamoxifen binding sites present in 5-fold higher concentrations (4.18 pmol/mg DNA) than in intact nuclei (0.78 +/- 0.10 (S.D.) pmol/mg DNA). Low-speed rat liver cytosol (20 000 X g, 30 min) contains high-capacity (955 +/- 405 (S.D.) fmol/mg protein), low-affinity (Kd = 10.9 +/- 4.5 (S.D.) nM) antiestrogen binding sites. In contrast, high-speed cytosol (100 000 X g, 60 min) contains low-capacity (46 +/- 15 (S.D.) fmol/mg protein), high-affinity (Kd = 0.61 +/- 0.20 (S.D.) nM) binding sites. Low-affinity cytosolic sites constitute more than 90% of total liver binding sites, high-affinity cytosolic sites 0.3%-3.2%, and nuclear sites less than 0.5% of total sites.  相似文献

The human pancreatic stone protein   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) is characterized by the presence of stones in pancreatic ducts. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the main constituent of stones, to which is associated an organic matrix consisting primarily of one protein of Mr 14,000, the pancreatic stone protein or PSP. PSP is not present as such in pancreatic juice, but in polymorphic forms with higher molecular weights. These secretory forms (PSP S2-5, Mr 16-19,000) are synthesized in the acinar cells of the pancreas and secreted along the same secretory pathway as the exocrine enzymes. The heterogeneity of the forms of higher Mr (PSP S2-5) is probably due to different glycosylation patterns. PSP and PSP S1 are generated by the cleavage of an Arg-Ile bond in the N-terminal part of PSP S2-5. The N-terminal sequence of PSP (40 amino acids) is identical to that of PSP S1, whose complete sequence (133 amino acids) has been determined. Yet, the two proteins differ by their pI. Pancreatic juice is normally supersaturated in CaCO3, suggesting the presence of a stabilizer preventing CaCO3 precipitation. The PSP S could play that role, since an activity inhibiting the nucleation and growth in vitro of CaCO3 crystals was found in pancreatic juice, associated with these proteins. Moreover, PSP S concentration was significantly lower in the pancreatic juice of patients with CCP than in control patients. Proteins homologous to PSP S were also found in the dog, rat, swine, monkey and ox. They constitute a new family of pancreatic secretory proteins, whose biological role would be to maintain pancreatic juice in a stable state towards CaCO3.  相似文献

1. The postnatal development of the biliary excretion of phenolsulfonphthalein (PSP) was studied in male Wistar rats. 2. Following i.v. injection of PSP at 200 mumol/kg body wt, a maximal biliary excretion of 175 +/- 10 nmol/min/100 g body wt and 32 +/- 5 nmol/min/100 g body wt was reached for unconjugated and conjugated PSP, respectively, in the adult group. 3. The maximal biliary excretion of conjugated PSP was significantly lower in the 20-, 30- and 40-day-old groups as compared to the adults. The excretion of unconjugated dye was also significantly lower in 20- and 30-day-old rats. 4. The postnatal development of PSP excretion was unrelated to changes in the activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. The importance of other factors is also discussed.  相似文献

When French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants were depodded in the early stages of fruit development, relative levels of a specific protein with a relative molecular weight of 28,000 were enhanced in the young pods that formed later. The protein, designated pod storage protein (PSP), was purified from extracts of newly formed pods from plants that had been previously depodded four times at intervals of 2 weeks. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed the presence of three forms (designated A, B, and C) of PSP with identical electrophoretic mobilities but different charges. The molecular mass of native PSP was estimated by gel filtration to be 67 kD; therefore, the protein was most likely present as a dimer. The antisera raised against forms A and C were crossreactive with each other. Form B lacked the N-terminal alanine of forms A and C. An expression library from French bean pods was screened using the antiserum against form A, and a full-length cDNA clone was isolated. The cDNA insert included 765 bp potentially encoding a polypeptide with 255 amino acid residues (and a calculated molecular mass of 28,854 D). The amino acid sequence deduced from the PSP cDNA had 65 to 71% identity with soybean (Glycine max) vegetative storage protein sequences (P.E. Staswick [1988] Plant Physiol 87: 250-254; and Correction [1989] Plant Physiol 89: 717). Genomic Southern blot analysis suggested that PSP is derived from a single-copy gene.  相似文献

Protein S is anticoagulant in the absence of activated protein C because of direct interactions with coagulation Factors Xa and Va. Synthetic peptides corresponding to amino acid sequences of protein S were tested for their ability to inhibit prothrombinase activity. The peptide containing the C-terminal sequence of protein S, residues 621-635 (PSP14), reversibly inhibited prothrombinase activity in the presence but not in the absence of Factor Va (K(i) approximately 2 microM). PSP14 inhibition of prothrombinase was independent of phospholipids but could be competitively overcome by increasing Factor Xa concentrations, suggesting that the C-terminal region of protein S may compete for a Factor Xa binding site on Factor Va. Studies using peptides with amino acid substitutions suggested that lysines 630, 631, and 633 were critical residues. PSP14 inhibited Factor Va activity in Factor Xa-one-stage clotting assays. PSP14 inhibited protein S binding to immobilized Factor Va. When preincubated with protein S, antibodies raised against PSP14 inhibited binding of protein S to Factor Va and blocked inhibition of prothrombinase activity by protein S. These results show that the C-terminal region of protein S containing residues 621-635 is essential for binding of protein S to Factor Va and that this interaction contributes to anticoagulant action.  相似文献

Nuclear transfer from somatic cells still has limited efficiency in terms of live calves born due to high fetal loss after transfer. In this study, we addressed the type of donor cells used for cloning in in vivo development. We used a combination of repeated ultrasonography and maternal pregnancy serum protein (PSP60) assays to monitor the evolution of pregnancy after somatic cloning in order to detect the occurrence of late-gestation losses and their frequency, compared with embryo cloning or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Incidence of loss between Day 90 of gestation and calving was 43.7% for adult somatic clones and 33.3% for fetal somatic clones, compared with 4.3% after embryo cloning and 0% in the control IVF group. Using PSP60 levels in maternal blood as a criterion for placental function, we observed that after somatic cloning, recipients that lost their pregnancy before Day 100 showed significantly higher PSP60 levels by Day 50 than those that maintained pregnancy (7.77 +/- 3.3 ng/ml vs. 2.45 +/- 0.27 ng/ml for normal pregnancies, P < 0.05). At later stages of gestation, between 4 mo and calving, mean PSP60 concentrations were significantly increased in pathologic pregnancy after somatic cloning compared with other groups (P < 0.05 by Day 150, P < 0.001 by Day 180, and P < 0.01 by Day 210). In those situations, and confirmed by ultrasonographic measurements, recipients developed severe hydroallantois together with larger placentome size. Our findings suggest that assessing placental development with PSP60 and ultrasonography will lead to better care of recipient animals in bovine somatic cloning.  相似文献

Plasma concentrations of progesterone (P(4)) and prolactin (PRL) were measured in 35 bitches presented at veterinary clinics for symptoms of overt pseudopregnancy (PSP) between 50 and 95 days after the onset of proestrus. Results were compared to those from samples collected from 35 control bitches at comparable stages of the ovarian cycle (expressed as days after the onset of observed signs of proestrus). In the PSP bitches at 71.4+/-1.6 (mean+/-S.E.M.) days of the cycle, P(4) (1.5+/-0.2ng/mL) was lower (P<0.01) and PRL (16.0+/-1.9ng/mL) was higher (P<0.01), compared to P(4) (2.7+/-0.4ng/mL) and PRL (2.9+/-0.6ng/mL) in control bitches at 70.6+/-1.5 days of the cycle. Low P(4) was not a prerequisite for elevated PRL. Although elevated (> or =10ng/mL) PRL (20.9+/-2.0ng/mL) occurred more often with low (<2ng/mL) P(4) (20 of 24 cases) it also occurred with P(4) above 3ng/mL in two affected bitches and in two control bitches. Whether the occurrence of relatively low PRL concentrations (<4ng/mL) in samples obtained from 4 of the 35 pseudopregnant bitches reflected variable and often elevated PRL secretion or increased sensitivity to PRL in the absence of elevated prolactin in those animals was not determined. We inferred that elevated plasma PRL was often involved in the etiology of overt PSP; furthermore, a premature decline in circulating P(4) concentrations may be a factor in some instances.  相似文献

Members of the CAP protein superfamily are present in all kingdoms of life and have been implicated in many different processes, including pathogen defense, immune evasion, sperm maturation, and cancer progression. Most CAP proteins are secreted glycoproteins and share a unique conserved αβα sandwich fold. The precise mode of action of this class of proteins, however, has remained elusive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has three CAP family members, termed pathogen related in yeast (Pry). We have previously shown that Pry1 and Pry2 export sterols in vivo and that they bind sterols in vitro. This sterol binding and export function of yeast Pry proteins is conserved in the mammalian CRISP proteins and other CAP superfamily members. CRISP3 is an abundant protein of the human seminal plasma and interacts with prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids (PSP94), another major protein component in the seminal plasma. Here we examine whether the interaction between CRISP proteins and PSP94 affects the sterol binding function of CAP family members. We show that coexpression of PSP94 with CAP proteins in yeast abolished their sterol export function and the interaction between PSP94 and CAP proteins inhibits sterol binding in vitro. In addition, mutations that affect the formation of the PSP94–CRISP2 heteromeric complex restore sterol binding. Of interest, we found the interaction of PSP94 with CRISP2 is sensitive to high calcium concentrations. The observation that PSP94 modulates the sterol binding function of CRISP2 in a calcium-dependent manner has potential implications for the role of PSP94 and CRISP2 in prostate physiology and progression of prostate cancer.  相似文献

A soluble Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase has been purified from rat brain to near homogeneity by using casein as substrate. The enzyme was purified by using hydroxylapatite adsorption chromatography, phosphocellulose ion-exchange chromatography, Sepharose 6B gel filtration, affinity chromatography using calmodulin-Sepharose 4B, and ammonium sulfate precipitation. On sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDodSO4)-polyacrylamide gels, the purified enzyme consists of three protein bands: a single polypeptide of 51 000 daltons and a doublet of 60 000 daltons. Measurements of the Stokes radius by gel filtration (81.3 +/- 3.7 A) and the sedimentation coefficient by sucrose density sedimentation (13.7 +/- 0.7 S) were used to calculate a native molecular mass of 460 000 +/- 29 000 daltons. The kinase autophosphorylated both the 51 000-dalton polypeptide and the 60 000-dalton doublet, resulting in a decreased mobility in NaDodSO4 gels. Comparison of the phosphopeptides produced by partial proteolysis of autophosphorylated enzyme reveals substantial similarities between subunits. These patterns, however, suggest that the 51 000-dalton subunit is not a proteolytic fragment of the 60 000-dalton doublet. Purified Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent casein kinase activity was dependent upon Ca2+, calmodulin, and ATP X Mg2+ or ATP X Mn2+ when measured under saturating casein concentrations. Co2+, Mn2+, and La3+ could substitute for Ca2+ in the presence of Mg2+ and saturating calmodulin concentrations. In addition to casein, the purified enzyme displayed a broad substrate specificity which suggests that it may be a "general" protein kinase with the potential for mediating numerous processes in brain and possibly other tissues.  相似文献

Neither kcat. nor kcat./Km for five aryl alpha-D-glucopyranosides correlates with aglycone pKa, and isotope effects, described according to the convention used by Cleland [(1982) CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem. 13, 385-428], of 18(V) = 1.002 +/- 0.008, alpha D(V) = 1.01 +/- 0.04 and alpha D(V/K) = 0.969 +/- 0.035 are observed for p-nitrophenyl, and one of beta D(V) = 1.02 +/- 0.04 for phenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside; kcat. but not kcat./Km, correlates with aglycone pKa for five alpha-D-glucopyranosyl pyridinium ions with a Brønsted coefficient of -0.61 +/- 0.06, and isotope effects of alpha D(V) = 1.22 +/- 0.02, beta D(V) = 1.13 +/- 0.01 and alpha D(V/K) = 1.018 +/- 0.046 for the 4-bromoisoquinolinium, and alpha D(V) = 1.15 +/- 0.02 and beta D(V) = 1.085 +/- 0.011 for the pyridinium salts are observed. These data require that a non-covalent event, fast in the case of the N-glycosides but slow in the case of the O-glycosides, precedes bond-breaking, and that bond-breaking involves substantial charge development on the glycone and near-perpendicularity of the C2-H bond to the planar oxocarbonium ion system. A model meeting these requirements is that the non-covalent event is a conjoint change of protein and substrate conformation which puts the pyranose ring in the 2,5B conformation of the bond-breaking transition state. This model also explains the contrast between the powerful inhibition of the enzyme by deoxynojirimycin (Ki = 23 +/- 3 microM) and feeble inhibition by castanospermine [Saul, Chambers, Molyneux & Elbein (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 221, 593-597], but is directly contrary to the predictions of Deslongchamps'' ''Theory of Stereoelectronic Control'' [Deslongchamps (1975) Tetrahedron 31, 2463-2490; (1983) Stereoelectronic Effects in Organic Chemistry, p. 39, Pergamon Press, Oxford].  相似文献

A calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase was purified 3000-fold from bovine cerebral cortex using DEAE-Sephacel, calmodulin-Sepharose, and two heptanediamine-Sepharose column steps. The purified enzyme activity was stimulated by calmodulin, forskolin, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate, and NaF. The molecular weight of the protein component was estimated as 328 000 with a smaller form of Mr 153 000 obtained in the presence of Mn2+. The most highly purified preparations contained major polypeptides of 150 000, 47 000, and 35 000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels. Photoaffinity labeling of the preparation with azido[125I]iodocalmodulin gave one product of 170 000 daltons on SDS gels. It is proposed that the catalytic subunit of the calmodulin-sensitive enzyme is 150 000 +/- 10 000 daltons and that the enzyme exists as a complex of one catalytic subunit and the stimulatory guanyl nucleotide regulatory complex. These data are consistent with the previous report that the catalytic subunit of this enzyme has a molecular weight of 150 000 +/- 10 000 [Andreasen, T.J., Heideman, W., Rosenberg, G.B., & Storm, D.R. (1983) Biochemistry 22,2757].  相似文献

A highly purified (approximately 12 000-fold) homogeneous preparation of human plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) with 16% yield was obtained by a combination of density ultracentrifugation, high density lipoprotein affinity column chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and finally chromatography on anti-apolipoprotein D immunoglobulin-Sepharose columns to remove apolipoprotein D. This enzyme preparation was homogeneous by the following criteria: a single band by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 8 M urea; a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 68 000 +/- 1600; a single protein peak with a molecular weight of 70 000 on a calibrated Sephadex G-100 column. Its amino acid composition was different from human serum albumin and all other apoproteins isolated from lipoprotein fractions.  相似文献
