A method for producing simultaneously homogeneous preparations of two main forms of metleghemoglobin reductase and major leghemoglobin components from lupine nodules was developed. The method involves salting out with ammonium sulfate at 40–80% saturation, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 44, and double isoelectric focusing. The homogeneous metleghemoglobin reductase forms with molecular weights of 62 and 66 kDa were purified 725- and 402-fold, respectively. The total yield with respect to activity equaled 37%. The 62-kDa form was more active. 相似文献

Human liver alpha-D-mannosidases A and B were purified 11 500-fold and 2000-fold respectively. Both showed microheterogeneity when analysed by isoelectric focusing. Alpha-D-Mannosidases A and B are immunologically identical but differ in their range of pI values, molecular masses, uptake into fibroblasts and subunit compositions. Alpha-D-Mannosidase A consists of equimolar proportions of subunits of molecular masses 62 kDa and 26 kDa, which are linked by disulphide bridges in the intact enzyme. Alpha-D-Mannosidase B also contains a small subunit, of molecular mass 26 kDa, and a variable mixture of larger subunits, of molecular masses 58 kDa and 62 kDa. The 62 kDa and 58 kDa subunits, but not the 26 kDa one, contain concanavalin A-recognizing glycans. The 58 kDa subunit has a lower pI, contains less high-mannose glycans but probably contains more mannose 6-phosphate than the 62 kDa subunit. It is postulated that the differences in structure and properties of alpha-D-mannosidases A and B are due to differences in the state of processing of the large subunit. This suggestion is consistent with a single locus on chromosome 19 for lysosomal alpha-D-mannosidase. 相似文献

Testicular cytochrome b5 was purified by a procedure including preparative isoelectrofocusing. The cytochrome b5 was determined to have an isoelectric point of 4.45 on analytical isoelectric focusing. The purified cytochrome b5 was found to be homogeneous and its molecular weight was estimated to be 16,000 on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The oxidized and reduced forms of the purified preparation exhibited absorption spectra of a typical cytochrome b5. A 69-fold purification was achieved with an overall yield of 6.2%. Following preparation of the microsomes, the purification is accomplished by a two-step procedure utilizing column chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing. 相似文献

Upon separation of cAMP-dependent low molecular mass phosphoproteins [Components I and II; Polans et al. (1979) J. gen. Physiol. 74, 595-613] from the frog rod outer segments by gel-chromatography, isoelectric focusing, non-denaturating electrophoresis and ion-exchange chromatography, they behave like subunits of the oligomeric complex. Apparent molecular mass of the complex determined by gel-chromatography is 52-57 kDa and by non-denaturating gradient electrophoresis is 62-66 kDa. The isoelectric point of the complex is 5.5. The elution profile of Components I and II upon gel-chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography coincides with that of major rod outer segment 48 kDa protein. The isoelectric point for them also coincides with the isoelectric point of 48 kDa protein. The amount of low molecular mass phosphoproteins is sealed rods is equal to one molecule per 60 rhodopsin molecules and coincides with that of a 48 kDa protein. It is suggested that in solution Components I and II form an oligomeric complex with 48 kDa protein. 相似文献

Microheterogeneity of biliverdin reductase in rat liver and spleen: selective suppression of enzyme variants in liver by bromobenzene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recently we have reported the detection of multiple net-charge and molecular mass variants of biliverdin reductase in the rat liver. We now report an apparent selective change in the electrophoretic profile of the reductase variants in the liver by in vivo bromobenzene treatment (2 mmol/kg, sc, 24 h). Using two-dimensional electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing, one molecular mass species of the reductase (Mr 30,400) appeared to be selectively suppressed by bromobenzene treatment. This molecular mass species was the main component of two isoelectric focusing bands with pI6.23 and 5.91. The effect in vivo of bromobenzene could not be duplicated by in vitro experiments involving treatment of purified enzyme with bromobenzene in the presence of a NADPH-dependent microsomal drug metabolizing system. The phenomenon of multiplicity of the reductase was not limited to the liver. Multiplicity of the enzyme was detected also in the spleen; however, the pattern of composition of the reductase variants vastly differed from that of the liver. In the spleen, variants with pI 5.76, 5.61, and 5.48 were the prevalent forms; the variant with pI 6.23 was absent, and pI 5.91 was present in a minute amount. Further, bromobenzene did not affect the composition pattern of net-charge variants in this organ. Also, the splenic biliverdin reductase activity was refractory to in vivo bromobenzene treatment, whereas the liver reductase activity with both NADH and NADPH was altered by the treatment. The possible significance of the presence of multiple variants of biliverdin reductase and the change in their composition caused by bromobenzene is discussed. 相似文献

The L-threonine dehydrogenase (TDH) was purified approximately 1300-fold to a specific activity of approximately 18000 unit mg(-1) from chicken (Gallus domesticus) liver mitochondria. Purification was obtained by sequential chromatography on DEAE Cellulose, Phenyl Sepharose High Performance hydrophobic interaction, Affi-Gel Blue affinity and Matrex Gel Red A columns. The molecular weight of the subunit was estimated to be 36 kDa by sodium dodecyl-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An apparent molecular mass of native protein between 62 and 74 kDa was obtained by gel filtration chromatography, suggesting a dimeric structure of TDH. The isoelectric point of TDH was determined by isoelectric focusing to be 5.3. Partial amino-terminal sequence analyses, carried out on two purified preparations of TDH, revealed a high degree of homology to the reported sequence of porcine TDH. The Michaelis constants for L-threonine and NAD for partially purified chicken hepatic TDH are 5.38 and 0.19 mM, respectively. 相似文献

Carnitine acetyltransferase was purified from the cytoplasmic fraction of Candida tropicalis grown on alkanes in continuous culture. By ion-exchange chromatography the enzyme was resolved in two fractions with the same specific activity of 80 U/mg. The molecular mass of both enzyme forms, determined by non-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, was 540 kDa. After SDS electrophoresis only one band of 64 kDa was detected indicating that both enzymes are oligomers each containing eight subunits. Isoelectric focusing in agarose under non-denaturing conditions demonstrated the presence of at least four different charged species in the pH range between 5.6 and 6.7. After isoelectric focusing in 9 M urea/1% Nonidet P-40 gels, both enzyme forms were resolved into four bands. Peptide mapping, performed by cyanogen bromide cleavage of polypeptides separated by denaturing isoelectric focusing followed by second-dimension SDS electrophoresis, revealed a very high degree of homology between these polypeptides. The presence of the octameric form of carnitine acetyltransferase already in the starting material was demonstrated by non-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Antibodies against carnitine acetyltransferase from C. tropicalis ATCC 32113 formed precipitation lines with extracts from several Candida species but not with extracts of Candida utilis, Candida ethanothermophilum and an another strain of C. tropicalis. 相似文献

Acetylcholinesterase from cobra (Naja naja oxiana) venom has been purified by affinity chromatography to an homogeneous state, as ascertained by sodium dodecylsulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sedimentation analysis. The specific activity of the preparation was 5000 IU/mg with acetylcholine as substrate. Unlike acetylcholinesterases from insoluble cell structures, the native molecule of the cobra venom enzyme consists of a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 67,000 +/- 2000. At high enzyme concentrations (greater than 0.2 mg/ml, greater than 1 microM) and ionic strength 0.1 M, it reversibly tends to form higher-molecular-weight 7.1-S aggregates. Despite the apparent structural simplicity of the venom acetylcholinesterase, the disc electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing experiments revealed that the enzyme exists in a number of forms with a common molecular weight but with different isoelectric points. Neuraminidase treatment did not reduce the number of the forms. 相似文献

1. Bovine adrenocortical P450scc was resolved into several fractions by chromatography on AH-Sepharose 4B followed by gel filtration on Toyopearl HW55S. All fractions contained P450scc of the same molecular size and the P450scc could be resolved into 3-4 major and more than 10 minor isoelectric point forms by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel in the presence of Emulgen 913. 2. Both the AH-Sepharose chromatography profile and the isoelectric focusing pattern of the adrenocortical P450scc were more complex than those of the corpus luteum P450scc. The corpus luteum P450scc was practically devoid of the neutral to acidic isoelectric point forms. 3. Three to four P450scc subfractions with different isoelectric focusing pattern were obtained from a purified preparation of adrenocortical P450scc by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl 650S or DEAE-Sephadex A25. These P450scc subfractions showed essentially the same spectral properties, catalytic activity, molecular weight and N-terminal amino acid sequence. 4. The most acidic (the latest eluting) subfraction was composed mostly of the neutral to acidic isoelectric point forms. The sedimentation characteristics of this subfraction was also studied. 5. The structural basis of the multiple molecular forms was discussed. 相似文献

Extracellular peroxygenase from the agaric fungus Agrocybe aegerita is a versatile biocatalyst that oxygenates various substrates by means of hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme is routinely produced in suspensions of soybean meal and has until now been purified by several steps of fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) using different ion exchangers. The final protein fraction had a molecular mass of 46 kDa but still consisted of several incompletely separated proteins with slightly differing isoelectric points (pI 5.2, 5.6, 6.1), probably representing differently glycosylated isoforms. This made it difficult to further purify the individual protein forms. Since homogeneous protein fractions are a pre-requisite for X-ray crystallography and specific structure-function studies, an appropriate FPLC procedure was developed starting with pre-purification of crude peroxygenase on SP Sepharose followed by chromatofocusing on a Mono P column and elution with a pH gradient. Three sufficiently separated main protein peaks were eluted from the Mono P column and confirmed to be distinct forms of aromatic peroxygenase with different pIs. All A. aegerita peroxygenase forms oxygenated toluene and naphthalene and no catalytic differences were observed between them. We tested also two devices for preparative isoelectric focusing (Rotofor, IsoPrime systems) for peroxygenase separation but resolution and protein recovery were not sufficient. 相似文献

Nitrite reductase from Clostridium perfringens was purified by chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex, Sephadex G-150, and hydroxylapatite and by isoelectric focussing to a homogeneous state, showing essentially a single protein band in disc gel electrophoresis and a single immuno-precipitation line in double diffusion against antiserum obtained from immunized rabbits. The reductase was induced in the presence of nitrate. It had a molecular weight of 54,000 and showed no absorption peak in the visible region. The pH optimum was 6.2 and Km for nitrite was 5 mM. Ferredoxin, as well as viologen dyes, was found to be an electron donor. The product of nitrite reduction was hydroxylamine. This reductase was inhibited by o-phenanthroline and azide but not by cyanide or diethyldithiocarbamate. 相似文献

By means of a new rapid and small scale purification method, human kidney renin has been purified from a single kidney in a homogeneous state, as judged on SDS-PAGE. The kidney which showed unusually high renin activity was from a patient with cardiomyopathy. 8,000-fold purification was attained by means of only pepstatin-aminohexyl-Sepharose chromatography and FPLC on a Mono Q column, and the yield was 34%. The specific activity was 5.63 mg angiotensin I per mg protein per h at 37 degrees C and pH 6.5 with porcine angiotensinogen as the substrate. The molecular weight was estimated to be 37,000 by SDS-PAGE and 38,000 by HPLC on a TSK G-3000 SW column. The preparation showed three bands on isoelectric focusing. The molecular weight and the profile on isoelectric focusing of the purified renin agreed with those found for the extracts of both the patient's kidney and a kidney with the usual low renin activity. 相似文献

Summary Nitrite reductase from corn scutellum-a non-chlorophyllous tissue-can use methyl viologen, benzyl viologen or ferredoxin as electron donor. Little or no reduction occurs with nicotinamide or flavin nucleotides. Activity is inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and by cyanide. Organic chelates, with the exception of bathocuproine disulphonate and bathophenanthroline disulphonate, are not inhibitory. Ammonia is the reaction product. Ion exchange chromatography resolves the nitrite reductase activity into two peaks with apparently represent two forms of the enzyme. Both have a molecular weight of 61–63000 as determined by molecular exclusion chromatography, and a pH optimum of 6.7–6.8. Although their properties are generally similar, they show a marked difference in thermal stability, ionic charge and behaviour during isoelectric focusing. Nitrite reductase is found largely in the soluble fraction although some particulate activity is also obtained. Both forms of the enzyme are present in the soluble and particulate fractions. 相似文献

Avian liver p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate hydroxylase (EC 1.13.11.27) was purified to a 1000-fold increase in specific activity over crude supernatant, utilizing a substrate analogue, o-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, to stabilize the enzyme. The preparation was homogeneous with respect to sedimentation with a sedimentation velocity (s20,w) of 5.3 S. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 97,000 +/- 5,000 by sedimentation equilibrium, and the molecular weight of the subunits was determined to be 49,000 +/- 3,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed heterogeneity of the purified enzyme. The multiple molecular forms were separable by isoelectric focusing, and their isoelectric points ranged from pH 6.8 to 6.0. The amino acid compositions and tryptic peptide maps of the three forms isolated by isoelectric focusing were very similar. The forms of the enzyme had the same relative activity toward p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and phenylpyruvate. Conditions which are known to accelerate nonenzymic deamidation of proteins caused interconversion of the multiple molecular forms. Iron was the only transition metal found to be associated with the purified enzyme at significant levels. The amount of enzyme-bound iron present in equilibrium-dialyzed samples was equivalent to 1 atom of iron per enzyme subunit. Purification of the enzyme activity correlated with the purification of the enzyme-bound iron. An EPR scan of the purified enzyme gave a signal at g equal 4.33, which is characteristic of ferric iron in a rhombic ligand field. 相似文献

1. It has been reported that immunization of rhesus monkeys with the surface protein antigen I/II from Streptococcus mutans significantly reduced dental caries. 2. The surface protein antigen A (SpaA) from Streptococcus sobrinus is known to correspond antigenically to I/II. MD51 is an Escherichia coli host containing pMD51, a plasmid encoding the SpaA gene from Streptococcus sobrinus B13N. 3. The recombinant SpaA (rSpaA) was purified from cell extracts of Escherichia coli clone MD51. 4. The purified recombinant SpaA was homogeneous with a molecular weight of 210 kDa according to SDS-PAGE and had an isoelectric point of 4.2 based on isoelectric focusing. 5. Amino acid composition of rSpaA showed a relatively high amount of hydrophobic amino acids (39.7%). 相似文献

A method for the rapid isolation of homogeneous undegraded ceruloplasmin from outdated human plasma is reported. The procedure consists of a precipitation step with polyethylene glycol 4000, batchwise adsorption and elution from QAE-Sephadex, and gradient elution from DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B. Ceruloplasmin was purified 1740-fold and the yield from outdated plasma was 67%. The purified ceruloplasmin was found to be homogeneous on anionic polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE, isoelectric focusing, and low-speed equilibrium centrifugation. The isoelectric point as determined by isoelectric focusing was 4.4. The purified enzyme was sensitive to storage; when a sample was resubmitted to PAGE after 4 months of storage at 4 degrees C, two bands were obtained and the fast-moving band showed no oxidase activity. The molecular weight estimated by gel electrophoresis and sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation was 130,000. 相似文献

A carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme was purified 116-fold with a recovery of activity of 29% from a crude extract of camel pancreas by a four-step procedure consisting of two anion exchange chromatographies in succession, gel filtration and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The enzyme was homogeneous on SDS and non-denaturing gel electrophoresis and on gel isoelectric focusing. Its molecular mass was found to be 31.5 kDa and its isoelectric point was estimated as 6.1. It was active towards a number of substrates that are cleaved by carboxypeptidases B from other species and was also susceptible to inhibition by inhibitors of such enzymes. The camel enzyme showed a pH optimum of 8.0 and it was seen to be a relatively potent kinase in vitro. The enzyme purified in this study was very similar to carboxypeptidases B isolated from other species in size, charge, substrate specificity and susceptibility to inhibition and thus it can be identified as camel carboxypeptidase B. 相似文献

1. Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase activities were investigated in rabbit liver. Using a five-step purification scheme, eight isoenzymes of dihydrodiol dehydrogenase with isoelectric points of 5.55-9.3 and promoter molecular masses of 34-35 kDa were purified to apparent homogeneity and designated CF-1 to CF-6, CM-1 and CM-2. 2. CF-1 and CF-2 had near-neutral isoelectric points of 7.4 and 6.8 and molecular masses of about 125 kDa in the native state. Both enzymes readily accepted NAD+ as well as NADP+ as coenzymes, had relatively low Km values of 0.33 mM and 0.47 mM for benzene dihydrodiol and resembled previously described carbonyl reductases in their substrate specificity towards ketones and quinones. 3. CF-5 and CF-6 had acidic isoelectric points of 5.9 and 5.55 and native molecular masses of approximately 60 kDa. They displayed a strong preference for NADP(H) as coenzyme and had high Km and Vmax with benzene dihydrodiol. Since these enzymes reduced p-nitrobenzaldehyde and glucuronic acid efficiently, they appeared to be closely related to aldehyde reductase. 4. CF-4 had a high 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity for the diagnostic substrate androsterone, a moderate activity for other 3 alpha-hydroxysteroids as well as 17 alpha-hydroxysteroids, and relatively low activities for 3 beta-hydroxysteroids and 17 beta-hydroxysteroids. CF-5 and CM-1 had high 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity for the diagnostic substrate 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, and low to moderate activities for other 17 beta-hydroxysteroids as well as 3 alpha-hydroxysteroids. 5. The isoenzyme CM-2 had an isoelectric point of 9.3 and was a very active quinone reductase with phenanthrene-9,10-quinone as substrate. It was potently inhibited by phenobarbital. 6. We conclude that the dihydrodiol dehydrogenase activities of rabbit liver are associated with aldehyde and carbonyl reductase and with 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid and 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. 相似文献

Dihydrofolate reductase from bovine liver has been purified 5000-fold employing conventional techniques and methotrexate/aminohexyl/Sepharose affinity chromatography. Electrophoresis of the isolated enzyme on polyacrylamide gels resulted in the separation of two enzymatically active protein components which were not interconvertible by treatment with dihydrofolate and/or the coenzyme. The two forms, present in a ratio of 20:1, were found by isoelectric focusing to have isoelectric points of 7.15 and 5.94. They had identical specific activities toward dihydrofolate (26.1-27.0 U/mg) and folate (1.3-2.2 U/mg), and had identical molecular weights (23500) and amino acid compositions. Due to the small quantity of the acidic form and the similarity of the two forms, the amino-terminal sequence (19 residues) was determined on a mixture of carboxymethylated reductase. The single sulfhydryl group of the enzyme can be modified by several sulfhydryl reagents in the native enzyme without loss of activity. Modification of the same residue occurs in the denaturated state and partially inhibits renaturation to the fully acitve enzyme. One disulfide bridge was detected by reduction and alkylation. The cleavage of this bond did not effect the enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase from bovine liver mitochondria. Molecular properties of multiple forms.
Bovine liver mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (acetyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.9) has been obtained in three forms designated transferase I, A and B on the basis of their elution positions from chromatography on phosphocellulose. All forms have been shown to have a molecular weight of about 152 000, each being composed of four similar subunits. Amino acid analysis of transferase A and B, the two major forms, revealed a close relationship between both forms with almost identical amino acid composition and arginine as N-terminal residue. The three transferases differ with respect to their redox state and their multiplicity of forms with isoelectric points of 6.9, 7.5 and 8.8, into which the transferases I and A were spontaneously transformed upon isoelectric focusing or rechromatography on phosphocellulose. Transferase B represents a stable enzyme form with an isoelectric point of 8.8. Although the redox state of transferase B can be adjusted to that of transferase A still a difference in charge and in the multiplicity of forms exists, thus indicating different protein states. 相似文献
