玉米花粉32kD蛋白的纯化及性质

利用丙酮粉、硫酸铵分段盐析及离子交换层析技术,从玉米花粉细胞质中分离纯化了一种３２ｋＤ的可溶性蛋白,其ＧＴＰａｓｅ活性大于ＡＴＰａｓｅ。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ表明达银染电泳纯。等电聚焦电泳测得等电点为５．２５。免疫印迹鉴定表明该蛋白与抗牛脑动蛋白或动力蛋白的抗体无免疫交叉反应。最大紫外吸收波长为２８２ｎｍ,ＣＤ谱分析说明具有球蛋白特征。     

对生玉米幼叶尿卟啉原脱羧酶的纯化及部分性质研究

尿卟啉原Ⅲ脱羧酶是植物血红素和叶绿素合成的一个关键调控酶。对生玉米叶片中叶绿素含量较比互生玉米高。对生玉米幼苗经硫酸铵分级沉淀,DEAE Sepharose CL-6B、Sephacryl S-200、羟基磷灰石和B lueSepharose CL-6B层析,纯化了尿卟啉原脱羧酶。纯化倍数为1 060倍,得率约8%,比活约880 U/mg蛋白。纯化的UROD在SDS/PAGE显示一条带,亚基分子量约为40 kD,Sephacryl S-300测得全酶分子量约为55 kD。IEF-PAGE显示UROD为一条带,等电点约为6.0,酶的最适pH值约7.0,在55℃下保温12 m in,酶活力丧失90%,在100 mm ol/L的巯基乙醇下,UROD的酶活力提高7倍。体外5 mm ol/L的磷酸吡哆醛修饰显示UROD活力下降约30%。     

Interactions of the DNA polymerase X from African Swine Fever Virus with the ssDNA. Properties of the total DNA-binding site and the strong DNA-binding subsite

Interactions of the polymerase X from the African Swine Fever Virus with the ssDNA have been studied, using quantitative fluorescence titration and fluorescence resonance energy transfer techniques. The primary DNA-binding subsite of the enzyme, independent of the DNA conformation, is located on the C-terminal domain. Association of the bound DNA with the catalytic N-terminal domain finalizes the engagement of the total DNA-binding site of the enzyme and induces a large topological change in the structure of the bound ssDNA. The free energy of binding includes a conformational transition of the protein. Large positive enthalpy changes accompanying the ASFV pol X-ssDNA association indicate that conformational changes of the complex are induced by the engagement of the N-terminal domain. The enthalpy changes are offset by large entropy changes accompanying the DNA binding to the C-terminal domain and the total DNA-binding site, predominantly resulting from the release of water molecules.
