NAD glycohydrolase, or NADase (NAD+ glycohydrolase, EC 3.2.2.5) was solubilized with porcine pancreatic lipase from isolated fractions of microsomes and plasma membranes obtained from rat livers. The enzyme from each organelle was further purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. The solubilized, partially purified enzymes had similar molecular weights, pH-activity profiles and Km values. Marked charge heterogeneity was observed for the microsomal enzyme on isoelectric focusing between pH 6 and 8 with maximum activity focusing at pH 8.0. Plasma membrane NADase displayed a single peak at pH 6.7. Treatment of the partially purified microsomal or plasma membrane enzyme with neuraminidase resulted in a single peak of activity on isoelectric focusing (pH 3.5--10) with a pI of 9.2. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of either NADase revealed a periodate-Schiff positive band which was coincident with enzyme activity. Compositional analyses of the microsomal enzyme focusing at pH 8.0 confirmed the presence of hexoses, hexosamines and sialic acid. Differences in carbohydrate composition might be important in determining the subcellular distribution of this enzyme. 相似文献

Isoelectric focusing studies of bacteriorhodopsin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Purified bacteriorhodopsin (BR) samples show a minimum of four isoelectric forms in immobilized pH gradient isoelectric focusing gels. The bands occur as doublets with isoelectric points (pI) centered at 5.20 (principal species) and 5.60. In typical preparations additional bands may be observed at 4.90, 5.07 and 5.50. Purple membrane (PM) was proteolyzed with papain to calibrate the pI shift produced by changing the number of charges on the protein. Asp-242 is removed during the first cleavage between residues 239 and 240 resulting in the loss of a single negative charge and a shift of the principal doublet by +0.35 pH units to pI 5.55. The second papain cleavage occurs between residues 231 and 232 which removes Glu-232, -234 and -237 and shifts the pI by +0.60 pH units to pI 6.10. The +0.60 pH shift upon the second papain cleavage is consistent with the loss of two negative charges and is supported by prior evidence that at least one of the three glutamate residues lost during the second proteolysis step is protonated and neutral in the intact protein. The native and proteolyzed products of BR retain the characteristic 550 nm absorption maxima for solubilized BR. A model for the structural origin of the pI heterogeneity of BR species in proteolyzed PM is presented. 相似文献

Chicken liver crude mitochondrial fraction showed lactate dehydrogenase activity (6.5% of cytoplasmic enzyme). Most of the mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase was solubilized by sonication of the mitochondrial fraction in 0.15 M NaCl, pH 6. Total extracted lactate deshydrogenase activity was 3-fold higher than the initial pellet activity. Different isoenzymatic compositions were observed for cytosoluble and mitochondrial extracted lactate dehydrogenase. The pI, values of the 5 lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were found to be independent of their origin. The cytosoluble lactate dehydrogenase and the separated H4,H3M and H2M2 isoenzymes were able to bind to the chicken liver mitochondrial fraction in 5 mM sodium phosphate buffered medium, and could be solubilized afterwards with 0.15 M NaCl, pH 6. The enzyme bound to the mitochondrial fraction was less active than the soluble one. Particle saturation by the bound enzyme occurred with all mitochondrial fractions assayed. According to the Langmuir isotherm, the non-sonicated mitochondrial fractions contain a single type of binding sites for lactate dehydrogenase; in contrast, the sonicated mitochondrial fraction should contain different binding sites. Chicken liver crude or sonicated active mitochondrial fractions showed a hyperbolic behavior with respect to NADH and a non-hyperbolic one with respect to pyruvate. This mechanism is different from the bi-bi compulsory order mechanism of the soluble enzyme. With hydroxypyruvate as the substrate, the active mitochondrial fraction fit a sequential mechanism but lost the rapid-equilibrium characteristics of the soluble enzyme. 相似文献

Solubilization of soybean membrane binding sites for fungal beta-glucans that elicit phytoalexin accumulation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Soybean membranes contain high-affinity binding sites for fungal beta-glucans. These sites may play a role in the recognition by soybean tissues of fungal phytoalexin elicitors. We have solubilized beta-glucan-binding activity from microsomal membranes using two C12-alkyl zwitterionic detergents, Zwittergent 3-12 (ZW 3-12) and the lysolecithin analog 1-dodecanoyl propanediol-3-phosphorylcholine [corrected] (ES12H). The solubilized binding sites displayed identical affinity for beta-glucans as that found in membranes (KD = 11-34 nM). Detergent-protein micelles with glucan binding activity eluted with approximate Mr values of 300,000 in ZW 3-12 and 380,000 in ES12H in gel permeation chromatography. Maximal binding activity eluted from a chromatofocusing column in the pH range between 6.2 and 6.6 with both ES12H and ZW 3-12, suggesting an apparent pI close to neutral. 相似文献

Supernatants harvested from concanavalin A-stimulated human peripheral mononuclear cells after 24 hr of incubation contain one interferon species similar to human interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) with a pI of 4.6–5.3 (first day pH 5 IFN-γ). In contrast, during the subsequent 24 hr of incubation two species with properties of IFN-γ are produced with pI of 3.6–4.0 (second day pH 4 IFN-γ) and 4.6–5.6 (second day pH 5 IFN-γ), respectively. First day pH 5 IFN-γ and second day pH 5 IFN-γ have been found to differ on the basis of trypsin sensitivity. This pattern of polymorphism is similar to the pattern previously described for human migration-inhibitory factor (MIF) which can be separated into first day pH 5 MIF, second day pH 3 MIF, and second day pH 5 MIF. However, IFN-γ-like species can be differentiated from MIF biochemically and antigenically. Fractions with second day pH 4 IFN-γ have no MIF activity and fractions with second day pH 3 MIF contain no IFN activity. In addition, first and second day pH 5 MIF, which also contain IFN-γ activity, can be separated from the latter by precipitation as well as neutralization with polyclonal and monoclonal anti-human MIF antibodies. 相似文献

Pellet-associated human brain alpha-L-fucosidase was solubilized with 0.5% (w/v) Triton X-100 and purified by affinity chromatography on agarose-6-aminohexanoyl-fucosamine resin. The procedure resulted in a 290,000-fold purification, a 58% yield and a final specific activity of 11,500 nmol/min per mg of protein. Isoelectric focusing indicated that all six major isoforms (with pI values between 4.1 and 5.3) present in crude brain pellet preparations were purified by the affinity technique. SDS/PAGE indicated the presence of one subunit (54 kDa) and a minor protein band at 67 kDa, which presumably is a contaminant since it was not immunoreactive on Western blotting. The pH optimum of the brain enzyme and its apparent Km for the synthetic substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside were 5.5 and 0.07 mM respectively. Pellet-associated human brain and liver alpha-L-fucosidases were both capable of hydrolysing fucosyl-GM1 ganglioside without activator proteins or detergents. Linear hydrolysis rates were found only for short incubation times (1-5 min). Optimal enzymic activity at 37 degrees C was found at pH 3.4 for both alpha-L-fucosidases, with no activity at pH values above 4.0. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia is a cancer-prone disease characterized by progressive loss of blood cells, skeletal defects and stunted growth. Studies of a nuclease acting on double-stranded DNA have revealed an enzyme alteration in cells derived from Fanconi patients. A particulate fraction isolated from cultured human lymphoblasts and fibroblasts was solubilized with detergent and subjected to isoelectric focusing. Nuclease activity observed in four normal cell lines bands in a pH gradient with a pI of 6.3. Four cell lines belonging to complementation group A exhibit an increase in the pI of that nuclease to 6.8. These observations provide a new diagnostic for this disorder. Analysis of this enzyme in tetraploid cultures derived from fusion of normal and Fanconi cells suggest that the normal phenotype is dominant. That observation supports the hypothesis that the Fanconi A gene is required for modification of the nuclease pI. Definition of the molecular basis of this enzyme alteration should provide insight into the primary genetic lesion in this disorder. 相似文献

Crude cell wall preparations from Cicer arietinum L. cell suspension cultures show high activity for the hydrolysis of coniferyl alcohol beta-D-glucoside (coniferin). Various beta-glucosidase activities could be solubilized from these preparations by 0.5 M NaCl treatment and one of these could be shown to possess a high activity for the hydrolysis of coniferin. The enzyme activities were purified to near homogeneity by Sephadex G-200 and CM-Sephadex chromatography. Isoelectric focussing indicated the occurrence of beta-glucosidase isoenzymes with identical catalytic activity (pI 8.5-10). Molecular weights were determined as 110 000, with two subunits of 63 000 and 43 000. Maximum hydrolytic activity is at pH 5. The beta-glucosidase isoenzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of various beta-glucosides with aromatic aglycone structure and different sugar moieties. However, coniferin has been found to be one of the best substrates (km = 0.8 mM; V = 6 mumol.min-1.mg protein-1) for these beta-glucosidase isoenzymes. The data suggest that beta-glucosidase-catalyzed reaction might be involved in lignification of these plant cell cultures. 相似文献

Demonstration of two molecular forms of dipeptidyl peptidase IV in normal human serum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The heterogeneity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) was investigated in normal human serum. Thin-layer analytical isoelectric focusing revealed the presence of multiple molecular forms of the enzyme, their isoelectric points being in the pH range of 3.30-4.25. The maximum of enzyme activity appeared around pH 3.50. After treatment with neuraminidase the pI shifted to 4.70-5.40 with two maxima at pH 5.00 and 5.15. The Triton X-100 solubilized as well as the papain-treated-Triton X-100 solubilized enzyme from the whole human adult jejunal biopsy were also found to be heterogeneous. They focused--both before and after neuraminidase treatment--at pH values different from those of the enzyme of normal human serum. There was almost no pI shift after neuraminidase treatment of the intestinal enzyme from adult enterobiopsy. Electrophoresis in continuous polyacrylamide gradient gels as well as gel chromatography on Bio-Gel A-1.5m revealed two molecular forms of dipeptidyl peptidase IV in normal human serum. The estimated relative molecular mass of the major enzyme form was 250 000 in both the separation techniques used. On the other hand, the apparent relative molecular mass of the minor enzyme form was 450 000 as assessed by gradient gel electrophoresis, and 550 000, when estimated by gel chromatography. The Km values for glycyl-L-proline-4-nitroanilide as substrate with the major and minor forms of the serum enzyme were 1.60 +/- 0.39 X 10(-4) mol/l and 1.60 +/- 0.13 X 10(-4) mol/l, respectively. Our results indicate that the dipeptidyl peptidase IV in normal human serum is a heterogeneous enzyme as far as its charge and molecular size are concerned. 相似文献

Characterization of acid and neutral alpha-mannosidases in bull semen and reproductive organs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Acid and neutral alpha-mannosidase activities were studied in the bull reproductive tissues, isolated spermatozoa, epididymal and seminal vesicle secretion and seminal plasma. The acid enzyme in the seminal plasma mainly derived from the epididymal secretion, while the neutral one was enriched in the sperm cells. The latter activity in the seminal plasma appears to be due to an enzyme released from the cytoplasmic droplets in the epididymis. The acid enzyme had a molecular weight of 220,000-320,000, pI 7.3-6.0 and an optimum at pH 4.0. It was sensitive to swainsonine but was stimulated by Zn2+. The neutral enzyme had a molecular weight of 360,000-460,000, pI 5.4-4.7 and showed double optima at pH 5.5 and 6.0-7.0. It was resistant to swainsonine but was markedly activated by Co2+ or Fe2+. The neutral enzyme was also more sensitive to thermal inactivation than the acid one. 相似文献

Estrone sulfate sulfohydrolase (estrogen sulfatase) activity was solubilized by treatment with Triton X-100 from 105,000 g pellets of guinea pig uterus, testis and brain, as well as from rat liver and human placenta. The solubilized forms were subjected to chromatofocusing in the fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) system and on conventional columns packed in our laboratory. The guinea pig tissue pattern was complex. Uterus showed peaks of activity with apparent pI's of 9.11 and 7.6; testis contained 3 peaks with pI's of 9.18, 8.7 and 7.5; brain possessed peaks with pI's of 9.28 and 8.6. In each case the major activity peak was that with pI greater than 9. Rat liver activity chromatofocused as a single peak of apparent pI = 6.87 and the human placental enzyme also showed a single, though broad, peak, of pI = 6.57. This suggests not only that the guinea pig enzyme(s) differs markedly from those of rat liver and human placenta, but that there may be qualitative differences between the forms in the three guinea pig tissues. Chromatofocusing behaviour was not independent of the specific exchange resins and ampholytes utilized. The recovered enzyme activity was fairly stable and it seems that chromatofocusing could be a useful step in purification of the guinea pig enzyme(s), particularly the main form possessing a pI greater than 9. 相似文献

Two isozymes of membrane-bound beta-glucosidase (beta-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21) with activity towards 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside have been identified in human cells. One of these isozymes was found to have a pH optimum of 5.0, a Km of 0.4 mM and to be rapidly inactivated at pH 4.0 ("acid-labile"). The second isozyme had a pH optimum of 4.5, a Km of 0.8 mM and was stable at pH 4.0 ("acid-stable"). Cultured long-term lymphoid lines and peripheral blood leukocytes contained both isozymes while cultured skin fibroblasts contained only the "acid-stable" form in detectable amounts. The specific activity of the "acid-stable" isozyme was severely reduced in cultured skin fibroblasts, cultured long-term lines and peripheral leukocytes from patients with Gaucher's disease. The specific activity of the "acid-labile" enzyme in the latter two cell types was apparently unaffected. The beta-glucosidase activity in all three cell types examined was predominantly particulate but the enzyme could be solubilized with low concentrations of Triton X-100. The solubilized enzyme required sodium taurocholate (0.2%) for maximum activity. Solubilized beta-glucosidase did not exhibit the cell-specific differences in pH optimum and Km shown by the membrane-bound enzyme. 相似文献

The carboxylesterase (carboxylic-ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.1) and monoacylglycerol lipase (glycerol-monoester acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.23) activities, measured against ethyl butyrate and emulsified monooleoylglycerol respectively, were determined for chicken liver microsomes and highly purified chicken liver carboxylesterase. The activity ratio (ethyl butyrate activity/monooleoylglycerol activity) was approx. 5 for microsomes and approx. 400 for carboxylesterase. Homogenization of microsomes in 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.92) released all of the ethyl butyrate activity and about half of the monooleoylglycerol activity into a soluble form. Both activities eluted from a Sephadex G-200 column with the same elution volume as that of pure carboxylesterase. This fraction (fraction B) had an activity ratio of approx. 15, an average pI of 5.01 (cf. 4.75 for carboxylesterase), and ran on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.6 as a number of closely spaced esterase bands with mobilities considerably less than those of the esterase bands present in the carboxylesterase. Fraction B activities against both substrates were completely inhibited by diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate and completely precipitated by antibody to carboxylesterase. The remaining half of the monoacylglycerol lipase activity of microsomes was solubilized by treatment with 1.5% (w/v) Triton X-100. This solubilized monoacylglycerol lipase was completely inhibited by diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate, showing it to be a serine-dependent enzyme like the carboxylesterases. However, it had no detectable activity against ethyl butyrate, indicating that it is not closely related to the carboxylesterases. 相似文献

Carboxypeptidase N was partially purified on a TEAE-cellulose column and subjected to isoelectric focusing in sucrose gradient columns containing ampholine gradients of pH range 3-10 and 4-8. Activity separated into two major peaks with pI values of pH 3.8 and 4.3. Both peaks were totally converted to an active desialated enzyme with isoelectric point of pH 5.2 to 5.4. These results indicate that carboxypeptidase N is a sialoprotein with at least two forms, differing in sialic acid content, in serum. Catalytic activity is not dependent upon sialic acid but the latter may possibly influence stability since loss of activity occurred in the desialated enzyme with repeat focusing. 相似文献

Two phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipases C (PI-PLC) have been purified from human spleen. PI-PLCm represents the main activity detected in the membrane, while PI-PLCc is the main activity present in the cytoplasm. PI-PLCm can be resolved into two peaks of activity of high Mr (60,000-70,000) and low Mr (16,000-18,000). High salt concentration ((NH4)2SO4, 2M) dissociates the high Mr form yielding the low molecular form and increasing the specific activity. The same effect of dissociation and potentiation of the activity is observed when membranes solubilized by n-octyl glucoside are subjected to the high voltage conditions of an isoelectric focusing run. The purified Pi-PLCm has a Mr of about 18,000 when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or gel filtration and a basic pI (9.0-9.2). Purified PI-PLCc has a Mr of 57,000 (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or gel filtration) and a slightly acid pI (6.2). Other characteristics of both enzymes, such as cations dependence, substrate specificity, optimum pH, and kinetic parameters, are also discussed. 相似文献

The pellet-associated portion of human brain alpha-L-fucosidase (which represents approx. 20% of the homogenate activity) was solubilized with 0.5% (w/v) Triton X-100, characterized with regard to several properties and compared with the corresponding properties of the soluble supernatant-fluid enzyme in an attempt to find a second alpha-L-fucosidase in human brain. The solubilized and soluble alpha-L-fucosidase activities exhibited complete stability after storage at 2-4 degrees C for up to 29 days, comparable thermostability after preincubation at 50 degrees C, comparable apparent Km values (0.07-0.08 mM) for 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside, comparable hydrophobicity, comparable isoelectric-focusing profiles (six major forms, with pI values between 4.5 and 5.8) and comparable immunoprecipitation curves (with the IgG fraction of antisera prepared against human liver alpha-L-fucosidase). Differences in three properties were found between solubilized and soluble alpha-L-fucosidase activities: the solubilized activity was less stable to storage at -20 degrees C, had a 0.5-pH-unit neutral shift in its pH optimum (6.0) and had smaller Mr forms after gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The overall results indicate that the pellet-associated and soluble portions of human brain alpha-L-fucosidase are quite similar in most of their properties. Thus there is still no compelling evidence for the existence of a second mammalian alpha-L-fucosidase. 相似文献

Separation of the proteins of bovine milk-fat-globule membrane by electrofocusing with retention of enzymatic and immunological activity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
1. Proteins of fat-globule membrane from bovine milk were solubilized with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 in the presence of protease inhibitors. Approximately 25% of the total membrane protein was solubilized and the extracts were shown to contain a sample of most of the major membrane proteins and glycoproteins. 2. The solubilized proteins were separated in flat-beds of Ultrodex by electrofocusing and the pI values for the major proteins, glycoproteins and certain enzymes determined. Several of the proteins displayed marked heterogeneity indicating the existence of protein variants and isoenzymes. Principal pI values for the enzymes assayed were as follows: xanthine oxidase, 7.35--7.55; NADH2: iodonitrotetrazolium reductase, less than 4.5; 5'-nucleotidase, 7.15--7.4; alkaline phosphatase, 5.4--5.7; phosphodiesterase, 4.6--4.8; gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, 4.4--4.55. 3. Fractions after electrofocusing were analyzed by 'fused rocket' immunoelectrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis after separation in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate. Major antigens of the membrane include xanthine oxidase and glycoproteins of apparent molecular weights 67 000, 49 500 and 46 000. The latter two components share common antigenic determinants and could not be separated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, lectin-affinity chromatography or preparative electrofocusing. 相似文献

Isoelectric variants of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) have been reported to exist in various organs including rat liver. To elucidate the biochemical characteristics of the variants, rat liver Cu,Zn-SOD was purified and isolated into eight variants, i.e., pI 5.15, 4.88, 4.80, 4.75, 4.70, 4.65, 4.60, and 4.50. The pI 4.88 variant had the highest specific activity (4245 U/mg protein) and the highest yield (45% of original activity). The descending order of specific activity for the other variants was pI 4.80, 4.75, 5.15, 4.70, 4.65, 4.60, and 4.50. The specific activity correlated well with metal content. The specific activity for most variants was 5-9 times greater when determined at pH 10.0 than at pH 7.8. However, three preparations of pI 4.80 and 4.70 variants had 13.9-16.3 times greater specific activity at pH 10.0 versus 7.8, while one of the pI 4.60 variants was only 3.5 times greater. The rate of Coomasie brilliant blue G-250 binding was lowest with pI 4.88 followed by pIs 4.80 and 4.75. To evaluate the mechanisms which might produce these variants, the pI 4.88 variant was incubated with xanthine-xanthine oxidase or a mixture of rat liver microsome, NADPH, and sodium azide, and a shift to variants pI 4.80 and pI 4.75 was found. The shift was greatly inhibited by the presence of mannitol or by the omitting of azide, respectively. The existence of these variants was also confirmed by other methods: (i) direct application of rat liver 105,000g supernatant to an isoelectric focusing, and (ii) extraction of SOD from acetone powder prepared from rat liver homogenate. Results indicate that several variants most likely arise in tissue as a result of activated oxygen radical modification of variant pI 4.88. 相似文献

Rabbit heart mitochondrial creatine kinase has been recently shown to exist in two oligomeric forms: a dimer and an octamer, the latter being the form associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane [(1988) Biochem.Biophys. Res. Commun. 153,1310.]. We report here on the determination of the isoelectric points (pI) of the two purified forms by thin layer isoelectric focusing. The pI of the dimer is 8.2 and that of the octamer is 8.8; the former is higher by more than one pH unit than that of the cytoplasmic form MM-CK. It is proposed that the higher pI of the octamer is responsible for its binding to the inner membrane. 相似文献
