Soluble and membrane-bound dopamine-beta-hydroxylases (sDBH and mDBH, respectively) from rat adrenal glands have been purified through concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, gel filtration, and ion-exchange high-performance chromatographies. Both sDBH and mDBH were composed by four subunits of apparent molecular weight of 75,000 and showed a native molecular weight of 300,000. This procedure has not allowed us to obtain a sufficient amount of enzyme to immunize a rabbit. A second, more rapid procedure was designed to isolate sDBH, including concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography and preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A rabbit antiserum was raised against this purified protein. The specificity of the antiserum was demonstrated by neutralization of rat adrenal gland DBH activity, labeling of rat adrenal medulla on histological sections, and, after Western blot, labeling of the 75,000-molecular-weight band in the different fractions associated with DBH activity during purification. The antiserum had a higher affinity for the sDBH denatured by sodium dodecyl sulfate than for the native protein. It had a higher affinity for sDBH than for mDBH. These results strongly suggest the presence of specific hydrophilic epitopes on the sDBH, revealing structural differences between the two hydroxylase forms. Two protein bands were stained on Western blots of crude rat adrenal gland extract. One band had an apparent molecular weight of 75,000, and the other of 82,000. Our results showed that the two proteins contained similar epitopes, an observation suggesting a close structural relationship. The higher-molecular-weight protein could be the 75,000 protein before covalent modifications and cleavage. 相似文献

Twenty-two components of human interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) derived from Sendai virus-induced Namalwa cells were purified by sequential immunoadsorbent affinity chromatography using four monoclonal antibody affinity columns followed by ultrafiltration and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The specific activity ranged from 0.2 to 2.6 x 10(8) IU/mg protein on Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells, 0.3 to 4.6 x 10(8) IU/mg protein on human WISH cells, and 10(4) to 7 x 10(5) units/mg protein on mouse L929 cells. The apparent molecular weights of the components ranged from 17,500 to 23,300 using nonreducing sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and 17,500 to 27,600 using reducing sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences were similar among the components as well as to those reported for the cloned human IFN-alpha genes (Pestka, S. (1986) Methods Enzymol. 119, 3-14). However, four components, f, i, l, and m, have amino-terminal amino acid sequences which appear to be unique when compared to those predicted from the cDNA clones. One component, pre-a, has a potential N-linked glycosylation site on the Asn of residues 2 through 4, Asn-Leu-Ser. 相似文献

Phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) was purified from delipidated human duodenal juice by hydrophobic and cation exchange chromatography, followed by molecular sieving on an HPLC column. The resulting enzyme preparation of phospholipase A2 had a molecular weight of 14 kDa, a specific activity of 2000 U/mg protein, and an N-terminal amino acid sequence which was characteristic for human pancreatic phospholipase A2. 相似文献

A reproducible procedure was developed for the purification of follitropin from frozen bovine pituitary glands. The method involved precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 and acetone, followed by ion-exchange column chromatography on CM-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. A specific radioligand-receptor assay for follitropin was used to locate the activity in eluates after column chromatography and gel filtration. The potency of the highly purified bovine follitropin as measured by Steelman-Pohley bioassay was 164 times that of NIH-FSH-S1 standard preparation. They yield of bovine follitropin was 2.9 mg/kg of frozen pituitary glands. Electrophoretically, bovine follitropin was more acidic in nature and migrated further towards the anode than lutropin and thyrotropin. The elution volume of bovine follitropin by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 was very similar to that of bovine lutropin. The amino acid composition of bovine follitropin was similar to that of sheep and human follitropin, being rich in lysine, aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid and half-cystine. 相似文献

N-Acetyl-beta-hexosaminidases A and B were purified to homogeneity from human placenta. In the initial step of purification, the enzymes were adsorbed on concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B and eluted from the column with alpha-methyl D-mannosides. Subsequent purification steps included DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, QAE-Sephadex [diethyl-(2-hydroxypropyl)aminoethyl-Sephadex] column chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and preparative disc polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, followed by another QAE-Sephadex chromatography for the hexosaminidase A preparation, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, calcium phosphate gel chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, QAE-Sephadex chromatography and CM-cellulose chromatography for the hexosaminidase B preparation. The purified preparations, particularly hexosaminidase A, had significantly higher specific enzyme activities than previously reported. The preparations moved on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis as single protein bands, which also stained for enzyme activity. Sedimentation-equilibrium centrifugation indicated homogenous dispersion of the enzymes, and the molecular weight was estimated as about 110000 for both enzymes. Complete amino acid and carbohydrate compositions of the two isoenzymes were determined, and, in contrast with previous suggestions, no sialic acid was found in the enzymes. 相似文献

Structural and immunochemical characterization of human urine arylsulfatase A purified by affinity chromatography 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Arylsulfatase A (aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.1) was isolated from an ammonium sulfate precipitate of urinary proteins using two different affinity chromatography methods. One method involved the use of concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography at an early stage of purification, followed by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The other procedure employed arylsulfatase subunit affinity chromatography as the main step and resulted in a remarkably efficient purification. The enzyme had a specific activity of 63 U/mg. The final preparation of arylsulfatase A was homogeneous on the basis of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 7.5, and by immunochemical analysis. However, when an enzyme sample obtained by either method of purification was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing or non-reducing conditions, peptide subunits, of 63.5 and 54.5 kDa, were observed. Immunological tests with 125I-labeled enzyme established the presence of a common protein component in both of the electrophoretically separable peptide subunits of human urine arylsulfatase. The amino acid analysis of homogeneous human urine arylsulfatase A showed only a few differences between it and the human liver enzyme. However, immunological cross-reactivity studies using rabbit anti-human urine arylsulfatase revealed immunological difference between the human urine and liver arylsulfatase A enzymes. 相似文献

Immunoadsorption affinity chromatography was used to isolate and purify human lysozyme. The immunoadsorbent was prepared by coupling sheep anti-(human leukemic lysozyme) IgG to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. Lyophilized parotid saliva (21) was resuspended in distilled water (325 ml, 50 mg/ml, w/v) and applied to a column which had a capacity to bind 4.25 mg human enzyme. Non-adsorbed material did not contain lysozyme, as determined by enzymatic and immunological analyses. All lysozyme activity present in the applied sample (1.97 mg) bound to and was desorbed from the column by elution with 0.2 M sodium acetate HCl buffer, pH 1.8. The isolated material was homogeneous as determined by cationic and sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, amino acid and amino-terminal analyses, and immunoelectrophoretic analysis. The one-step purification procedure yielded a 1370-fold increase in specific activity. Human lysozyme was also selectively purified by this method from an ammonium sulfate precipitate of the urine of a patient with chronic monocytic leukemia. Amino acid and polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analyses indicated that the purified enzyme was identical to human lysozyme isolated from leukemic urine by classical biochemical techniques. 相似文献

Isolation and some observations of the properties of a bovine neurohypophysial milk-ejecting factor.
W B Watkins 《Hormone research》1975,6(4):226-235
A substance possessing milk-ejecting activity has been isolated from an acetone powder preparation of bovine posterior pituitary glands by Sephadex G-25 chromatography of the neurophysin-neurohypophysial hormone complex. While the material possessed an oxytocic activity of 2.8 IU/mg as measured on the isolated rat uterus, the milk-ejecting activity was more than three fold greater, 9.6 IU/mg. The peptide had an antidiuretic activity of 0.133 IU/mg and a pressor activity of 0.083 IU/mg. Neither the uterine-stimulating action nor the pressor activity was destroyed by incubating the peptide with 0.01 M sodium thioglycollate at 65 degrees C for 5 min. The oxytocic activity was antagonized neither by 1.4 X 10(-6) M atropine nor 3.3 X 10(-7) M phenoxybenzamine. 相似文献

L-type pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.40) was purified from human liver by an original method. This purification included toluene extraction, a-monium sulphate fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex bactchwise, CM-Sephadex batchwise with elective elution by ATP and affinity chromatography on a Blud Dextran-Sepharose column with specific elution by fructose 1, 6-diphosphate. This purification procedure allowed us to obtain 6 mg protein with a specific activity of 420 IU/mg protein, i.e. 2,690-fold purification with an overall yield of 34%. This preparation was homogeneous as judged by immuno-diffusion, acrylamide and sodium dodecyl sulphate acrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

An analog of sheep insulin which differs from the parent molecule in that the C-terminal amino acid residue of the A chain, asparagine, is replaced by arginine, has been synthesized and isolated in highly purified form. The [Arg21] A chain of sheep insulin was synthesized by the fragment condensation approach and isolated as the S-sulfonated derivative. Conversion of the latter into the sulfhydryl form and interaction with the S-sulfonated B chain of bovine (sheep) insulin yielded [Arg21-A] sheep insulin, which was purified by chromatography on a carboxymethylcellulose column with an exponential sodium chloride gradient. The [Arg21-A] sheep insulin shows potencies of 10.5--12.5 IU/mg when assayed by the mouse convulsion method and 8.6 IU/mg by the radioimmunoassay method (cf. 23--25 IU/mg for the natural hormone). It has been suggested that in the insulin molecule the A21 asparagine participates in salt bridge- and hydrogen bond-forming interactions which are critical in the biological activity of the hormone. Although the [Arg21-A] analog still retains these interactions, it is only ca. 50% as active as the natural hormone. It is speculated that other factors than the above mentioned interactions come into play, which involve the side chain of the A21 amino acid residue and affect the biological activity of the hormone. 相似文献

A crystalline acylphosphatase has been obtained from porcine skeletal muscle. The purification procedure consists of extraction with water, phosphocellulose column chromatography, CM-cellulose column chromatography, and crystallization. The enzyme was homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A high yield (39%) of the pure enzyme was attained by the use of buffers containing 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol to prevent dimerization of the enzyme in the purification process. Activity assay in the presence of bovine serum albumin showed a high specific activity of the enzyme (about 7,000 mumol/min/mg at 25 degrees C with benzoyl phosphate as substrate). The molecular weight was determined to be 11,100 by sedimentation equilibrium. The amino acid composition of the enzyme was determined. The amino-terminus of the enzyme was blocked and the carboxyl-terminal residue was tyrosine. 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

Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F has been mutated by treatment with N-nitrosoguanidine. The resulting mutant (designated as B-512FM) produces 300 times as much enzyme as the parent strain. B-512FM dextransucrase was treated extensively with Sigma crude dextranase, followed by column chromatography on Bio-Gel A-5m. The purified dextransucrase had a specific activity of 84 IU/mg, a 100-fold purification with 42% yield, and was shown by SDS-PAGE to have a single protein of molecular weight of 158,000 with dextransucrase activity. The procedure has been used to produce purified enzyme for sequencing. The molecular weight of 158,000 agrees with that calculated from its amino acid sequence. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of human urinary kallikrein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Human urinary kallikrein was purified by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and affinity chromatography on aprotinin-Sepharose, followed by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose. Thus an enzyme preparation with a specific activity (using AcPheArgOEt as substrate) of 1 100 U/mg protein was obtained. A specific bioligical activity of 2 300 KE/mg was measured in the dog blood pressure assay and of 0.742 HMW kininogen-U/mg, corresponding to the liberation of 787 micrograms bradykinin per mg enzyme per min from HMW-kininogen, in the rat uterus assay. In dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis two protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 41 000 and 34 000 were separated. The amino acid composition was determined and isoleucine was identified as the only aminoterminal amino acid. On isoelectric focusing six protein bands with isoelectric points of 3.75, 3.80, 3.90, 4.00, 4.05 and 4.25 were separated. The kinetic constants for the kallikrein-catalyzed hyrdolysis of AcPheArgOEt and D ValLeuArgNHNp were determined. The bimolecular velocity constant for the inhibition by diisopropyl fluorophosphate was determined as 9 +/- 2l x mol-1 x min-1. Immunological studies showed that a close relationship exists between the urinary enzyme and other human glandular kallikreins. Deoxycholate, lysolecithin and other amphiphiles activated human urinary kallikrein. 相似文献

Human salivary kallikrein was isolated from saliva using affinity chromatography on aprotinin-Sepharose and anti-human urinary kallikrein IgG-Sepharose followed by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose. The enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 950 U/mg protein towards the synthetic substrate Ac-Phe-Arg-OEt, a specific biological activity of 2000 KE/mg protein (measured in the dog blood pressure assay) and 0.64 HMW-kininogen-U/mg, corresponding to the liberation of 679 micrograms bradykinin equivalents per mg enzyme per min from HMW-kininogen (using the rat uterus test). In sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis one protein band corresponding to a molecular mass of 32 kDa was obtained. The amino-acid composition was determined and isoleucin was found as the only N-terminal residue. The bimolecular velocity constant for the inhibition by diisopropyl fluorophosphate was determined as 8 l x mol-1 x min-1. The dissociation constant Ki of the human salivary kallikrein-aprotinin complex was calculated to be 0.7 x 10(-10)M. The Km and Vmax values for the hydrolysis of the synthetic substrates Ac-Phe-Arg-OEt and D Val-Leu-Arg-Nan were determined. In the enzyme immunoassay for human urinary kallikrein parallel binding curves were obtained. 相似文献

1. Insulin has been isolated by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography from extracts of the discrete islet tissue of cod. The final preparation yielded a single band on electrophoresis at two pH values. The biological potency was 11.5 international units/mg. in mouse-convulsion and other assay procedures. 2. Glycine and methionine were shown to be the N-terminal amino acids of the A and B chains respectively. An estimate of the molecular weight together with amino acid analyses indicated that cod insulin, like the bovine hormone, consists of 51 amino acid residues. In contrast, the amino acid composition differs markedly from bovine insulin. 3. Oxidation of insulin with performic acid yielded the A and B peptide chains, which were separated by ion-exchange chromatography. Sequence studies on smaller peptides isolated from enzymic digests or from dilute acetic acid hydrolysates of the two chains have established the sequential order of 14 of the 21 amino acid residues of the A chain and 25 of the 30 amino acid residues of the B chain. 相似文献

The membrane-bound enzyme 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase has been purified from acetone powders of bovine white matter and spinal cord. Affinity chromatography on AMP-Sepharose has been used as the final step in the chromatographic purifications. The yield was about 3 mg of purified enzyme per 100 g of tissue in each instance. The enzymes from the two sources were indistinguishable by chromatography, gel electrophoresis, and amino acid analysis; the enzyme from spinal cord, however, has shown a specific activity of 225 units/mg compared to 342 units/mg for the enzyme from white matter. Both proteins had a molecular weight of 100,000 by gel filtration and 50,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions. The properties of the enzyme, including amino acid composition determined on the purified soluble protein and on the protein purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, were those of a basic hydrophobic protein. 相似文献

Human fibroblastoid interferon produced from an established human cell line was purified by controlled-pore glass and concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography followed by preparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The purification procedure provided a 10% recovery of pure interferon with good reproducibility. The purified protein was homogeneous with respect to its molecular weight of 20,000 and net electrical charge at pH 2.5. Interferon of high specific activity of 5 x 10(8) units/mg of protein was directly demonstrated in the polyacrylamide gel before staining with Coomassie brilliant blue. Parallel purification of a sham-induced interferon preparation did not yield an equivalent product indicating the purified interferon is not derived from uninduced cells or from the fetal calf serum of the tissue culture growth medium. Pure interferon was radioiodinated by Bolton-Hunter reagent. Amino acid analysis of the pure preparation shows interferon to be a leucine-rich glycoprotein containing a high percentage of glutamic/glutamine residues and that disulfide bridges(s) are important for its biological activity. 相似文献

A comparison of molecular properties of hepatic triglyceride lipase and lipoprotein lipase from human post-heparin plasma 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Hepatic triglyceride lipase was isolated from human post-heparin plasma by the method of Ehnholm et al. using modifications which increased the specific activity 12-fold to approximately 3,000 mumol of free fatty acid/h/mg of protein. Lipoprotein lipase with similar specific activity was prepared from the same plasma samples using heparin and concanavalin A affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of hepatic triglyceride lipase (69,000) was slightly greater than that of lipoprotein lipase (67,000) as determined by polyacrylamide electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing buffers. These proteins had identical amino acid compositions, terminal amino acid residues, and tryptic peptide maps. However, the differences previously described regarding optima of pH and ionic strength and the requirement for apolipoprotein CII (only for lipoprotein lipase) were maintained in the highly purified state. It was found that both proteins contain approximately 8% carbohydrate. Antisera prepared in goats selectively precipitated each activity. Other antisera prepared in chickens reacted with both enzymes, suggesting a common antigenic determinant. 相似文献

A general method is described which allows the identification and preparation of peptides containing any amino acid of interest. The method has been applied to isolation of the methionyl peptides from a peptic digest of oxidized bovine rhodopsin. The peptide digestion mixture is first partially separated by ion exchange column chromatography. Location of peptides containing the desired amino acid is performed by amino acid analysis of acid hydrolyzed column fractions by high voltage paper electrophoresis. Peptides are further purified and prepared by peptide mapping, elution, and amino acid analysis using inexpensive high capacity techniques. Peptide sequencing is performed by a manual dansyl-Edman method well adapted for rapidly processing large numbers of samples. The methods are particularly well suited for detection and preparation of peptides containing amino acids for which there is no specific detection method. 相似文献
