An unspecific carboxylesterase was purified 180-fold from acid-precipitated human liver microsomes. The final preparation was homogeneous on disc electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of 6.25 M urea at pH 3.2. A single symmetrical peak was also found on gel filtration and on velocity sedimentation in the analytical ultracentrifuge, whereas slight heterogeneity was observed on isoelectric focusing.The amino acid composition of the purified enzyme is presented. From the results the partial specific volume (0.745 ml × g?1) and the minimal molecular weight (60,000) could be calculated. Fingerprint maps of tryptic peptides from the carboxymethylated enzyme are shown.The molecular weight as determined by gel filtration, disc electrophoresis, and analytical ultracentrifugation is in the range of 181,000–186,000. For the molecular weight of the subunits a value of 61,500 has been obtained by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The equivalent weight of the enzyme has been estimated to be 62,500 from stoichiometry of its reaction with diethyl-p-nitrophenyl-phosphate. Partial cross-linking of the subunits with dimethyl suberimidate and subsequent sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis yielded three bands with molecular weights of 60,000, 120,000, and 180,000.From these results it is concluded that human liver esterase is a trimeric protein. It is composed of three subunits of equal size, and there is one active site per subunit. 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

Electrophoresis of glutamic acid decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) from mouse brain in sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gels 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Electrophoretically and ultracentrifugally homogeneous glutamic acid decarboxylase purified from mouse brain showed multiple protein bands after electrophoresis in SDS polyacrylamide gel. The positions and intensities of the multiple bands were constant despite different treatments of the enzyme with various concentrations of SDS, β-mercaptoethanol, and urea at different temperatures. The major band had an apparent molecular weight of approximately 60,000 daltons and there were three minor bands of molecular weights, about 120,000, 90,000, and 75,000 daltons, respectively. The molecular weights of almost all bands were approximately integral multiples of 15,000. The possible subunit structure of this enzyme has been discussed in the light of the latter data and data previously reported from ultracentrifugation and gel filtration studies. We suggest that this enzyme may be a hexamer consisting of 15,000-dalton sub-units and that dissociation of these sub-units in SDS is accompanied by reassociation into a variety of aggregates, the probability of whose formation is determined by structural features that are more important than the differences encountered under the environmental conditions employed in these studies. 相似文献

Properties of urease from Ureaplasma urealyticum: kinetics, molecular weight, and demonstration of multiple enzyme isoelectric point forms 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In the several strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum that we examined, all originally isolated from human sources, the ureases were found to have a pH optimum between 7.2 and 7.5, and the Km was approximately 2.5 mM urea. Using nonreducing, nondenaturing conditions for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight of the holoenzyme was determined to be approximately 380 000. Treatment with reducing agents did not affect the electrophoretic mobility and, therefore, the molecular weight of ureaplasma urease. Immunoblot analysis (using antiserum to U. urealyticum urease) after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing, denaturing conditions revealed two antigenically reactive bands of molecular weight 174 000 and 179 000. Under reducing, denaturing conditions, a single band of molecular weight approximately 179 000 was detected. Multiple forms of urease were detected by isoelectrofocusing but not by zonal electrophoresis. 相似文献

In human placenta 85% of total hexokinase activity (EC 2.7.1.1) was found in a soluble form. Of this, 70% is hexokinase type I while the remaining 30% is hexokinase type II. All the bound hexokinase is type I. Soluble hexokinase I was purified 11,000-fold by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and dye-ligand chromatography. The specific activity was 190 units/mg protein with a 75% yield. The enzyme shows only one band in nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that stains for protein and enzymatic activity; however, two components (with Mr 112,000 and 103,000) were constantly seen in sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. Many attempts were made to separate these two proteins under native conditions; however, only one peak of activity was obtained when the enzyme was submitted to gel filtration (Mr 118,000), preparative isoelectric focusing (pI 5.9), anion-exchange chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and affinity chromatography on immobilized dyes and immobilized glucosamine. The high and low molecular weight hexokinases show the same isoelectric point under denaturing conditions as determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Each hexokinase subtype was obtained by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis followed by electroelution. Monospecific antibodies raised in rabbits against electroeluted high and low molecular weight hexokinases were not able to recognize the native enzymes but each of them detected both hexokinases on immunoblots. Amino acid compositions and peptide mapping by limited proteolysis of the high and low molecular weight hexokinases were also performed and suggested a strong homology between these two subtypes of human hexokinase I. 相似文献

Two GM1-beta-galactosidases, beta-galactosidases I, and II, have been highly purified from bovine brain by procedures including acetone and butanol treatments, and chromatographies on Con A-Sepharose, PATG-Sepharose, and Sephadex G-200. beta-Galactosidase I was purified 30,000-fold and beta-galactosidase II 19,000-fold. Both enzymes appeared to be homogeneous, as judged from the results of polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Enzyme I had a molecular weight of 600,000-700,000 and enzyme II one of 68,000, as determined on gel filtration. On sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, enzyme II gave a single band with a molecular weight of 62,000, while enzyme I gave two minor bands with molecular weights of 32,000 and 20,000 in addition to the major band at 62,000. Both enzymes liberated the terminal galactose from GM1 ganglioside and lactosylceramide but not from galactosylceramide. Enzyme I showed a pH optimum of 4.0 and was heat stable, while enzyme II showed a pH optimum of 5.0 and lost 50% of its activity in 15 min at 45 degrees C. Enzyme I showed a pI of 4.2 and enzyme II one of 5.9. 相似文献

The biochemical characteristics are described for a melanoma-associated glycoprotein antigen, whose expression depends on stage of tumor progression and melanocytic differentiation. This antigen, identified using a monoclonal antibody which specifically stains melanoma cells in immunoperoxidase assay of fixed tissue sections, is synthesized as a 30,000-Da precursor and then processed to a 30,000- to 60,000-Da sialylated glycoprotein. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the antigen resolved more than 20 forms, heterogeneous in both charge and molecular weight. The kinetics of post-translational processing, the sensitivity of processing to tunicamycin, and the molecular weight of the oligosaccharide chains indicate that the oligosaccharides are N-linked. Amino acid sequencing of the antigen purified by immunoaffinity chromatography and by high-pressure liquid chromatography or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis allowed the assignment of the first 20 acids. 相似文献

A highly purified gonadotropic hormone preparation has been obtained from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) pituitaries by extraction with ethanolic or aqueous buffer, affinity chromatography on Con A Sepharose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 superfine. A purified fraction from Sephadex G-75 averaged 448 mug NIH-LH-S18/mg glycoprotein as measured by the uptake of radiophosphate into chick testes. A total of 1.1 g of salmon gonadotropin (s) (SG)/kg fresh tissue was recovered when the isolation began with an aqueous extraction. Analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (P.A.G.E.) of the purified fraction from Sephadex G-75 displayed a single broad zone in non-dissociating conditions and two bands in 8 M urea. Polyacrylamide gel electrofocusing yielded six sharp bands with an isoelectric point range of 4.38 to 5.05, and four bands with an isoelectric point range of 4.31 to 4.95 in 8 M urea. A molecular weight of 41,000 was determined by gel filtration. A subunit molecular weight of 17,800 +/- 10% was found by P.A.G.E. in 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), suggesting that native SG consists of two subunits. Purified preparations were highly stable in Tris-Cl buffers and retained their activity for several months when stored at -73 degrees C. 相似文献

Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (an intermediary enzyme in the de novo NAD biosynthetic pathway) was purified from hog liver and its crystallization from a mammal was successful for the first time. This crystalline enzyme preparation was certified to be homogeneous by ultracentrifugal analysis and polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Its molecular weight was 173,000 using the gel filtration method, and 172,000 using sedimentation velocity analysis. The subunit molecular weight was estimated at 33,500 with SDS polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Several physico-chemical parameters were also determined. 相似文献

Alveolysin a sulfhydryl-dependent cytolytic extracellular protein released by Bacillus alvei has been purified by salting-out by ammonium sulfate, gel filtration, isoelectric focusing on pH gradient and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The purified protein after reduction by thiols (active hemolytic form) proved homogeneous by disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by gel immunodiffusion. The molecular weight was 60,000 daltons, Two molecular forms of pI 5.1 and 7.0 were detected by gel isoelectrofocusing. The toxin was lethal to the mouse. Lytic activity was inhibited by cholesterol and antistreptolysin O anstisera. Immunological cross-reaction was observed between alveolysin and streptolysin O. 相似文献

Purification of RNAase II to electrophoretic homogeneity is described. The exonuclease is activated by K+ and Mg2+ and hydrolyses poly(A) to 5'-AMP, exclusively as described by Nossal and Singer (1968, J. Biol. Chem. 243, 913--922). To separate RNAase II from ribosomes, DEAE-cellulose chromatography was used. Two additional chromatographic steps give a preparation that yields 10 bands after analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resulted in a final preparation which on analytical polyacrylamide gels gives a single band. A molecular weight of 76 000 +/- 4000 was obtained from Sephadex G-200 chromatography, with three bands from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) denaturation and SDS gel electrophoresis. The subunits have a molecular weight of 40 000 +/- 2000, 33 000 +/- 2000, and 26 000 +/- 1000. The enzyme thus appears to consist of three dissimilar subunits. 相似文献

Urea PAGE or denaturing urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis employs 6-8 M urea, which denatures secondary DNA or RNA structures and is used for their separation in a polyacrylamide gel matrix based on the molecular weight. Fragments between 2 to 500 bases, with length differences as small as a single nucleotide, can be separated using this method1. The migration of the sample is dependent on the chosen acrylamide concentration. A higher percentage of polyacrylamide resolves lower molecular weight fragments. The combination of urea and temperatures of 45-55 °C during the gel run allows for the separation of unstructured DNA or RNA molecules.In general this method is required to analyze or purify single stranded DNA or RNA fragments, such as synthesized or labeled oligonucleotides or products from enzymatic cleavage reactions.In this video article we show how to prepare and run the denaturing urea polyacrylamide gels. Technical tips are included, in addition to the original protocol 1,2. 相似文献

Multiple forms of human renin. Purification and characterization. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Human renin was purified from a juxtaglomerular cell tumor with a high renin content, 24.2 Goldblatt units/mg of protein. The purification procedure comprised three steps: gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and preparative isoelectric focusing. Five forms of renin amounting to 5.3 mg of enzyme were obtained with isoelectric points of 4.95, 5.10, 5.35, 5.55, and 5.70. They were all glycoproteins. The three major fractions had very similar specific activities, 868, 860, and 809 Goldblatt units/mg of protein. These fractions produced a single band on analytical isoelectric focusing and a single arc on immunoelectrophoresis. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 7.8, each fraction consisted of two renin bands with the same molecular weight, but different net charges. The molecular weight determined by gel filtration and Fergusson plot analysis on polyacrylamide gel was 38,000 to 42,000. The optimum pH determined on N-acetyltetradecapeptide substrate was 6.5, and the Km was 6.8 x 10(-6) M. These parameters were identical with those for standard human kidney renin. Antibodies raised against tumor renin completely inhibited the activity of both tumor and standard renin. Under dissociating conditions (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel electrophoresis in the presence of 6 M urea), part of the purified enzyme dissociated into two smaller fragments (Mr = 20,000 and 25,000) containing renin activity. 相似文献

Ovine alpha-fetoprotein was successfully isolated from fetal sheep serum by using rabbit anti-ovine alpha-fetoprotein linked to an agarose immunoadsorbent column. Antibody used in this affinity chromatography column was produced by immunizing a rabbit with highly purified alpha-fetoprotein-antibody complex to yield a monospecific antiserum to ovine alpha-fetoprotein. Following affinity chromatography, alpha-fetoprotein was further purified by preparative polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis ultimately yielding a 105-fold purification. The purified alpha-fetoprotein was homogeneous on analytical polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Ovine alpha-fetoprotein was found to be immunochemically related to human alpha-fetoprotein and to exhibit a molecular weight and amino acid composition similar to other mammalian alpha-fetoproteins. 相似文献

Evidence that DNA polymerase-alpha of calf thymus contains a subunit of molecular weight 155000. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Small samples of the 8-S species of enzymes (A1 and A2) occurring in the DNA polymerase-alpha fraction of calf thymus, have been extensively purified using non-denaturing (normal) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When peak fractions of activity on normal gels were subjected to dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a polypeptide at 155000 correlated with polymerase activity. Samples of the 7.3-S (C) enzyme prepared from A2 by treatment with 2.4 M urea or isolated directly without exposure to urea, also showed the presence of a 155000-Mr polypeptide. It is concluded that the 7.3-S (C) enzyme, of previously estimated molecular weight 155000-170000, is a single polypeptide and that the 8-S enzymes A1 and A2 contain an additional subunit of 50000-70000 molecular weight. 相似文献

Acetohydroxyacid synthase I from Escherichia coli K-12 has been purified to near homogeneity. Analysis of the purified enzyme by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed the presence of two polypeptides, one with a molecular weight of 60,000 and one with a molecular weight of 9,500. These two polypeptides were present in constant proportion to each other and to enzyme activity. The molar ratio of the two polypeptides (Mr 9,500:60,000), estimated from stained polyacrylamide gels, was 1. Antisera raised against the 60,000 Mr polypeptide precipitated both the 60,000 and the 9,500 Mr polypeptides from extracts of cells labeled with [35S]methionine. The addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate before immunoprecipitation eliminated the smaller polypeptide, and only the larger one was recovered. The hydrodynamic properties of the native enzyme confirmed a previous report that the largest enzymatically active species has a molecular weight of about 200,000; this species contains both the 60,000- and 9,500-molecular-weight polypeptides. 相似文献

The molecular weights of esterase and peroxidase isozymes of maize seedlings were directly determined by improved polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. The different isozyme bands developed in polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (uniform gel) were identified in polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis by means of isozyme variants. The molecular weights of esterase isozymes E1, E2, E3F, E3S, a, b, c, named according to isozyme patterns in uniform gel, are <20000, 35200, 33000, 38500, 29900, 28500, 34000 doltons respectively. The molecular weights of peroxidase isozymes PX4F and PX4S are 131000 and 149000 doltons respectively. According to the band location in uniform gel and in gradient gel, some biochemical properties of the isozyme bands and relationships between the isozyme bands were analyzed. The possible errors in the determination of smaller molecular weight isozymes are discussed. 相似文献

Undecyl acetate esterase has been purified from Pseudomonas cepacia grown on the methyl ketone, 2-tridecanone. The K(m) for undecyl acetate was 2.3 x 10(-2) M. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that two esterase bands were being recovered during purification. These bands were separated by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular weights were estimated to be approximately 34,500 by several methods. Molecular sieve polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the two esterases had the same molecular weight but different charge, which is indicative of isoenzymes. 相似文献

The RNase-colloidal gold procedure for the ultrastructural localization of RNA was used for rat testis. Along with other structures, it was found that the testicular sperm nucleus was well stained. Similar labelling was observed in the nucleus of rat epididymal sperm and human sperm. The RNA was extracted from sperm and analyzed by electrophoresis on 10% polyacrylamide gel and 7 M urea. The electrophoretic profile revealed a complex set of bands ranging in size from tRNA to high molecular weight components. On the average, a content of about 0.1 pg of RNA per rat or human sperm was found. 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
