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

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

Human renin was purified 2,800-fold from a partially purified preparation to an electrophoretically homogeneous state by a series of three different types of affinity chromatography and two additional conventional chromatographic steps at a yield of 9.7%. This amounts to a 420,000-fold purification from a crude kidney extract. This pure human renin preparation has a specific activity of 830 Goldblatt unit/mg and is stable at pH 6.2 and 4°C at least for 3 weeks.  相似文献

The present work describes a procedure for the co-purification of cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase (CSAD) and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) from calf brain. A crude enzyme preparation was first made from brain homogenate by acid precipitation and ammonium sulphate fractionation. Subsequent fractionation of the decarboxylase preparation by cation exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose CL-6B revealed the existence of a specific CSAD enzyme, which has no GAD activity. The GAD activity peak was found to possess CSAD activity. Further fractionation by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 separated the specific CSAD activity into two enzyme forms, one of them having a molecular weight of 150,000 and the other of 71,000. GAD activity was eluted from the gel filtration column in a single peak (mol wt 330,000) and showed CSAD activity. The purification of the specific CSAD enzyme was 920-fold and that of GAD activity 850-fold as compared with the starting material, whole calf brain. SDS gel electrophoresis indicated that the purified CSAD and GAD enzymes consisted of two or more subunits. The crude decarboxylase preparation was analysed by isoelectric focusing in ultra-thin polyacrylamide gel in the pH range 3.5-10.0. The most active fraction of CSAD indicated an isoelectric point of 6.5 and that of GAD 6.8. The pH optimum for CSAD activity in the crude preparation was 7.2 and that for GAD activity 7.9.  相似文献

The high molecular weight (HMW) renin was purified from porcine kidney by a procedure involving extraction with a buffer system containing protease inhibitors, ammonium sulfate fractionation, pepstatin-aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B column chromatography, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 44 and aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B column chromatography. The resulting preparation showed a single band on isoelectric focusing, exhibiting an isoelectric point at pH 5.25, and was stable on storage at -80 degrees C for 4 months. The specific activity was 3.97 mg of angiotensin I formed/mg of protein per h at 37 degrees C and at pH 6.5 with porcine angiotensinogen as the substrate. When the HMW renin was exposed to acid, renin activity increased by about 5-fold and the free form of fully active renin was recovered from the acidified HMW renin, leaving an insoluble aggregate of protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the HMW renin showed two protein bands, of which one was identified as renin from the electrophoretic mobility and the other was the protein, assigned as renin binding protein (RnBP), that was insolubilized by acidification. The purified HMW renin is a complex of renin with RnBP, and the molecular weights of RnBP and renin in the HMW renin were estimated to be 39,000 and 32,000, respectively, by gel permeation liquid chromatography in 6 M guanidine-HCl. A modified rapid method for purification of renin is also presented.  相似文献

The pressor enzyme renin (EC 3.4.99.19) was isolated in a pure and stable form from hog kidney by affinity chromatography on a pepstatin/agarose gel followed by three additional steps of conventional chromatography. Destruction of the enzyme by proteolysis during isolation was prevented by chemically eliminating proteases in extracts. The pure preparation was used for the characterization of this enzyme. Renin was found to be a glycoprotein containing glucosamine and possessing binding affinity to concanavalin A. Contrary to previous reports, pure renin is stable at neutral pH either at 4 or -20 degrees for 3 to 8 weeks. It has a molecular weight of 36,400 as determined by equilibrium ultracentrifugation, an isoelectric point of 5.2 and E1%1cm (280 nm) of 9.1. In contrast to crude preparations, the enzyme activity has a broad pH optimum between pH 5.5 and 7.0 for both hog angiotensinogen and the synthetic octapeptide substrate benzyloxycarbonyl-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser-beta-naphthylamide. The rate of formation of angiotensin I from hog angiotensinogen at pH 6.0 and 37 degrees was 267 microng/h/microng of renin, or 2000 Goldblatt units/mg of renin. For the synthetic fluorogenic octapeptide substrate benzyloxycarbonyl-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser-beta-naphthylamide, a Km of 33 micronM and a Vmax of 0.94 micronmol/h/mg of enzyme were obtained at pH 6.5 and 37 degrees.  相似文献

A specific histidine decarboxylase from rat gastric mucosa has been obtained at high purity and good yield (purification about 600-fold). The purification procedure included double (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography, preparative isoelectric focusing in a granulated gel and gel filtration. Only the specific histidine enzyme was obtained by that procedure; DOPA decarboxylase, a non-specific enzyme, was absent in our final preparation. Each step of the purification was visualized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analytical isoelectric focusing. The purified enzyme was apparently homogenous by criteria of electrophoresis and gel filtration and has a molecular weight of 94 000. Several protein bands appeared after isoelectric focusing and the enzyme activity was localized in 3 distinct peaks. The gastric enzyme consists of 3 active forms which could be distinguished by their isoelectric points: 5.4, 5.75 and 6. Moleculare weights estimated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were 97 000, 93 000 and 90 000, and no subunits were observed. Pyridoxal phosphate was required as a coenzyme and resolution of the holoenzyme agreed with a portion of the coenzyme tightly bound to the apoenzyme. The purified enzyme was stable at low ionic strength, near neutral pH; concentrated reducing agents inhibit the enzyme.  相似文献

A novel purification method of human renin   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Human renal renin was isolated from a partially purified preparation, Haas' preparation step 5 material, with a remarkably high yield of 28% by a newly developed method. This method consisted of only four steps including affinity chromatography on pepstatin-aminohexyl-agarose, chromatofocusing, gel filtration and DEAE-chromatography after the initial extraction and concentration. This method enabled us to obtain pure human renin without another affinity column used by other investigators. Pure human renin had a molecular weight of 40,000 daltons as estimated by gel filtration and sodiumdodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The pI of purified renin was 5.6.  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

The complete purification of renin raises difficult problems due to its extremely low concentration in kidney (less than 1/50,000 of total proteins). The complete purification of hog kidney renin has been realized on a large scale, starting from 300 kg of fresh hog kidneys. 14.6 mg of pure renin were obtained with an overall yield of 4%. The purification procedure involved 14 steps. The enzyme was extracted at pH 3.5. Subsequent purification steps were performed in the presence of protease inhibitors to decrease renin proteolysis. These steps included an ammonium sulfate precipitation and a batch-chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The major purification step was an affinity chromatography on Sepharose-hexamethylene-diaminopepstatin. The enzyme obtained was further purified by molecular sieving gel filtration and isoelectric focusing.  相似文献

Renin binding protein (RnBP) was purified from porcine kidney using pepstatin affinity column chromatography, DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography, gel filtration on Ultrogel-AcA 34, aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B column chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on TSK-gel G-3000 SW. The purified preparation was homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel. The isoelectric point was at pH 4.85, and the apparent molecular weight of RnBP was estimated to be 42,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The preparation did not show any renin activity and was stable for 30 min at 37 degrees C between pH 5.0 and 9.0 or on storage for 4 weeks at 4 degrees C or -80 degrees C. The activity of renin was greatly inhibited by RnBP. From the kinetic analysis of the inhibition we roughly estimated the dissociation constant between renin and RnBP to be about 0.2 nM, assuming that the stoichiometry in the complex, i.e., high molecular weight (HMW) renin, is one to one, and that the complex is inactive. The inhibitory activity of RnBP was lost by acidification at pH 3.0 and the activity of renin was restored. The purified RnBP formed a single precipitin line with the antiserum prepared with the purified HMW renin as antigen, which is RnBP-renin complex (Takahashi, S., et al. (1983) J. Biochem. 93, 265-274), and this line fused with one of the two precipitin lines formed between HMW renin and anti-HMW renin antiserum. The other of the two lines was between renin and anti-HMW renin antiserum. The purified preparation was thus identified as RnBP. The HMW renin was reconstituted with the purified RnBP and renin, and the apparent molecular weight of the reconstituted specimen was estimated to be 60,000 by gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 44.  相似文献

The previously published procedure (Kraus et al. (1978) J. Biol. Chem.253, 6523–6528) for the purification of cystathionine β-synthase [l-serine hydro-lyase (adding homocysteine) EC 4.2.1.22], a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-dependent enzyme from human liver has been modified. The new procedure, starting with a liver homogenate “aged” for 7 days at 4 °C, yielded homogeneous enzyme purified over 3000-fold with a much improved yield. “Aging” of the enzyme in crude homogenates yields a form apparently smaller by gel electrophoresis and with significantly increased activity and antigenicity. This species of cystathionine β-synthase does not form stable complexes with other proteins during purification as does the previously employed, freshly used species. An absorption spectrum and an amino acid composition of the pure enzyme were determined; the amino-terminal residue was shown to be methionine. The isoelectric points of holosynthase and aposynthase were estimated to be 5.2 and 5.6, respectively. Rabbit antiserum raised against the pure cystationine β-synthase was characterized using as antigen crude synthase from five different mammalian species as well as the pure human enzyme.  相似文献

The cephalosporin beta-lactamase was purified from a strain of Proteus morganii that showed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and produced the enzyme constitutively. The purified enzyme preparation gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and consisted of a single polypeptide of molecular weight 38,000 to 40,000 from gel filtration of Sephadex G-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, its isoelectric point being pH 7.2 No cysteine residue was found in its amino acid composition. The specific activity was 190 mumol/min per mg of the purified enzyme protein for the hydrolysis of cephaloridine, the optimal pH was about 8.5 and the optimal temperature was 50 degrees C. Antibodies against the purified beta-lactamase inhibited not only the enzyme activity of the purified preparation, but also the enzyme activity of all of the other strains of P. morganii so far tested, regardless of whether the modes of their production were inducible or constitutive. None of the beta-lactamases produced by beta-lactam antibiotic-resistant strains of other species of Proteus was affected at all by the antibodies, thus showing that the purified cephalosporin beta-lactamase was of the species-specific type. The enzymological properties of the preparation have been compared with those of beta-lactamases derived from other gram-negative enteric bacteria.  相似文献

The main physicochemical and enzymic properties of non-activated and activated human amniotic renin (EC 3.4.99.19) were studied in order to clarify the relationships between the two enzymes. Human amniotic renin was activated by dialysis against acidic buffer (pH 3.3), direct acidification or trypsin treatment. All procedures produced similar activation. The physicochemical characteristics of non-activated and activated renin were compared to those of human renal renin. Non-activated renin had a molecular weight of 45,500. A similar molecular weight was obtained by gel eluate activation and by acid treatment of renin prior to gel filtration. Similar isoelectric points were also found for non-activated and activated renin. One major renin peak focused at pH 6.6, whereas no similar renin peak was detected in extracts from normal human kidney. In addition, non-activated and activated renin forms were found to have the same optimal pH, the same Km and the same inhibiting pepstatin concentrations.  相似文献

Acetyl-CoA synthetase, utilized in a coupled reaction system, has been shown to be applicable to the spectrophotometric determination of propionic and methylmalonic acids in biological fluids. The isolation of acetyl-CoA synthetase from yeast is simpler than the purification from mammalian sources. This study also presents some properties of the yeast enzyme and compares it to the more extensively studied enzyme isolated from ammmalian tissue. Isolation and purification yielded a preparation with a specific activity of 44 units/mg at 25 degrees. The purified acetyl-CoA synthetase was apparently homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis with an estimated subunit molecular weight of 78,000. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of ATP revealed a single protein band which contained all of the enzyme activity. Analytical ultra-centrifuge studies indicated the presence of a single protein with a molecular wright of 151,000 and sedimentation velocity analysis revealed a single peak with a sedimentation coefficient of 8.65 So20,w. Similar to the enzyme from mammalian sources, yeast acetyl-CoA synthetase has a high degree of substrate specificity and is active only on acetate and propionate. In addition, the reaction mechanism, as demonstrated by initial velocity patterns obtained from substrate pairs, appeared to be identical to the enzyme from bovine heart. However, the apparent Michaelis constants for the substrates were significantly different from the mammalian enzyme. The yeast-derived enzyme also differed from the mammalian in terms of molecular weight, amino acid composition, pH optimum, effect of monovalent cations, and stability characteristics. Thus, yeast acetyl-CoA synthetase is more easily purified than the mammalian enzyme and provides an excellent preparation for the assay of propionic and methylmalonic acids.  相似文献

Transcobalamin II-cyanocobalamin was isolated from Cohn fraction III of pooled human plasma by affinity chromatography on cyanocobalamin-Sepharose and some conventional separation methods. The affinity ligand cyanocobalamin was coupled to AH-Sepharose by a thermolabile linkage. The unsaturated binding protein was absorbed at 4 degrees C and eluted from the column at 37 degrees C as transcobalamin II-cyanocobalamin complex. The final preparation had a specific cyanocobalamin-binding capacity of 0.98 mol cyanocobalamin/mol transcobalamin II, the yield was 55% and the purification index amounted to 1.1 . 10(6). In dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis one major protein band was observed at a molecular weight of 37 000 and a faint band at a molecular weight of 29 000. In polyacrylamide gel isolectric focusing the pure preparation turned out to be heterogeneous with isoelectric points ranging from pH 6.2 to 6.8, possibly by the occurrence of isoproteins.  相似文献

gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase, present in various mammalian tissues, transfers the gamma-glutamyl moiety of glutathione to a variety of acceptor amino acids and peptides. This enzyme has been purified from human kidney cortex about 740-fold to a specific activity of 200 units/mg of protein. The purification steps involved incubation of the homogenate at 37 degrees followed by centrifugation and extraction of the sediment with 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.0, containing 1% sodium deoxycholate; batchwise absorption on DEAE-cellulose; DEAE-cellulose (DE52) column chromatography; Sephadex G-200 gel filtration; and affinity chromatography using concanavalin A insolubilized on beaded Agarose. Detergents were used throughout the purification of the enzyme. The purified enzyme separated into three protein bands, all of which had enzyme activity, on polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis in the presence of Triton X-100. The enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of about 90,000 as shown by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, and appears to be a tetramer with subunits of molecular weights of about 21,000. The Km for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase using the artificial substrate, gamma-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide, with glycylglycine as the acceptor amino acid was found to be about 0.8 mM. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity is 8.2 and the isoelectric point is 4.5. Both GSH and GSSG competitively inhibited the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase when gamma-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide was used as the substrate. Treatment of the purified enzyme with papain has no effect on the enzyme activity or mobility on polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis. The purified gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase had no phosphate-independent glutaminase activity. The ratio of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to phosphate-independent glutaminase changed significantly through the initial steps of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase purification. These studies indicate that the transpeptidase and phosphate-independent glutaminase activities are not exhibited by the same protein in human kidney.  相似文献

An exo-1,4-beta-glucanase from culture solution of the rot fungus Sporotrichum pulverulentum (formerly called Chrysosporium lignorum) grown on powder cellulose as the sole carbon source has been extensively purified and characterized with respect to some physico-chemical properties. The purification has been carried out in a five-step procedure comprising chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on polyacrylamide P-150, activation on a Dowex 2-X8 anion exchanger, chromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose and chromatography on SP-Sephadex. The purified enzyme was found to be pure and homogeneous by analytical polyacrylamide electrophoresis, by electrophoresis on dodecylsulphate gels and by analytical polyacrylamide electrophoresis, by electrophoresis on dodecylsulphate gels and by analytical isoelectric focusing. A single symmetrical peak was obtained with the free zone electrophoresis method. The purification factor is about 15 and the yield of exo-1,4-beta-glucanase activity 7%. After purification, the enzyme showed no viscosity-decreasing activity towards carboxymethyl-cellulose solutions. The exo-1,4-beta-glucanase was isoelectric at pH 4.3 (4 degrees C). A molecular weight of 48600 was calculated on the basis of a knowledge of the partial specific volume, ultracentrifugation data and the amino acid composition. The enzyme contained no carbohydrate.  相似文献

Beta-Glucuronidase has been purified from mouse kidneys previously induced by gonadotrophin to a specific enzyme activity 15 times higher than the non-induced kidney. The purification procedure includes ultrasonication to solubilize the enzyme, acid and ammonium sulfate precipitations, gel filtration in Sephadex G-200, DEAE-ion exchange chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. The resulting product has a specific activity of 284,000 Fishman units/mg of protein, representing a 1,090-fold purification and is 17,000-fold higher than the level in the non-induced kidney. The purified beta-glucuronidase is apparently homogeneous by criteria of gel filtration, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, and immunodiffusion. Characterization of the purified enzyme showed that it is identical with the lysosomal isoenzymic from electrophoretically, has subunit molecular weight of 74,000 (estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis) and oligomer molecular weight of 300,000. The purified enzyme is stable at high temperature (up to 55 degrees) and at wide range of pH (from 4 to 11). It has a pH optimum for its activity at 4.7 and a Km of 1.18 times 10- minus 4 M. The purification and characterization of this enzyme from mouse kidney will have significance in the understanding of the molecular nature of the isoenzymes of beta-glucuronidase and will be useful in future studies on the mechanism of intracellular transport and distribution of this hydrolase.  相似文献

D-3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Paracoccus denitrificans has been purified to near homogeneity. The enzyme was prepared using DEAE-cellulose chromatography, affinity chromatography on immobilized Cibacron blue (Matrex Gel Blue A) and gel permeation chromatography. The pure enzyme was obtained by chromatofocusing as the final isolation step. The purification procedure yielded the enzyme with a specific activity of about 100 units/mg protein. The enzyme is specific for D-3-hydroxybutyrate and NAD and it exhibits anomalous kinetics (hysteresis) at low enzyme and coenzyme concentrations. It is relatively stable in the presence of EDTA at pH 7–8 higer salt concentrations. D-3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase is a tetramer with a molecular weight of 130 000 ± 10 000, its isoelectric point equals 5.10 ± 0.05. The enzyme is applicable to the determination of acetoacetate and D-3-hydroxybutyrate concentrations.  相似文献
