Proteins and virus particles were separated by zonal electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing in glass tubes of small volume. The tubes were covered at the bottom with dialysis membranes and sucrose gradients containing either buffer or ampholytes were generated directly into them. When ampholytes were employed, reproducible pH gradients were generated during electrophoresis. After the separations were finished, dense sucrose was pumped into the bottom of each tube and the gradient was fractionated from the top; the recovery of virus was nearly complete. 相似文献

During studies on the purification of cucumber mosaic virus (strain W) it was found that preparations were most infective and stable when made from tobacco leaves (10–12 days after inoculation) homogenized in phosphate buffer containing EDTA and thioglycollic acid and clarified with diethyl ether. The preparations were further purified by centrifugation in sucrose density gradients containing EDTA at pH 9.0 and were then stable at 2 °C for > 100 days. When mounted in neutralized ammonium molybdate they were shown to consist of predominantly intact particles. In tube and ring precipitin tests and in agar gel-diffusion tests, specific precipitation with homologous antiserum occurred only in media containing alkaline adjusted solutions (ammonium molybdate and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate). 相似文献

Rubella virus was centrifuged in sucrose density gradients. One of two densities could be ascribed to the virus, depending upon the suspending medium used. The virus was found at a density of 1.16 g/cm3 after centrifugation for 18 hr in sucrose gradients prepared in distilled water. By contrast, when the sucrose gradients were prepared in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris)buffer containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), the virus was found at a density of 1.18 g/cm3 after 18 hr of centrifugation. The virus banded at this higher density after only 2 hr of centrifugation when pretreated by overnight incubation in the Tris-EDTA buffer. A kinetic study showed that, in sucrose gradients containing this buffer, the virus gradually migrated as a single peak of infectivity from a density of 1.16 g/cm3 after 2 hr of centrifugation to the higher 1.18 g/cm3 density after 18 hr. The density change was shown to be reversible; after the removal of the Tris-EDTA buffer, rebanding of virus harvested at the heavy density resulted in its banding at the lower 1.16 g/cm3 density. The data indicate that density change could not be explained on the basis of the loss of some component from the virus or on the basis of the failure of the virus to reach equilibrium. However, it is possible that the two densities observed were a reflection of the existence of rubella virus in different hydration states in the presence and absence of Tris buffer containing EDTA. 相似文献

HEp-2 cells were infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 and labeled with [3H]thymidine and 14C-amino acids. Infected cells or nuclei prepared from them were extracted with Triton X-100 and NaCl, utilizing a method recently described, and the low-speed supernatant (extract) was partially purified by sedimentation on sucrose gradients. A nucleoprotein complex which sedimented as a wide peak around 200S was identified. The nucleoprotein complex contained viral DNA, which banded at the expected density in CsCl isopycnic gradients and was intact after measurements taken on electron microscopic photographic enlargements. The autoradiographic pattern of 14C-labeled proteins after electrophoresis showed that only a few of the virus-specific polypeptides were present in the nucleoprotein complexes, in particular, VP5, VP12, VP15.2, VP19, and VP24. Cellular histones were absent. The extracts and the nucleoprotein complexes were centrifuged to equilibrium in metrizamide density gradients without prefixation. Electron microscopic direct visualization of the nucleoprotein complexes after sucrose or metrizamide purification revealed that the proteins were preferentially associated with one end of the DNA molecule and formed large irregular terminal thickenings or capsid-like transparent shells enclosing polyglobular cores. No nucleosomes were observed on herpes simplex virus nucleoprotein complexes. The same type of complex was detected after phosphonoacetic acid addition, and grossly altered nucleocapsids were formed. 相似文献

A rapid method for the isolation of intracytoplasmic A particles, the putative intracellular nucleoprotein cores of mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV), is presented. Spontaneous C3H/He mouse mammary tumors and transplantable mouse Leydig cell tumor were used as source material. Large aggregations of intracytoplasmic A particles were separated from cellular contaminants on discontinuous sucrose gradients and subsequently further purified by isopycnic banding in linear sucrose gradients. The purified particles were solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and the structural proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Purified mouse mammary tumor virions were solubilized, and their proteins were analyzed in the same way. Comparison of co-electrophoretic gels indicated a lack of correlation in the molecular size of the major structural proteins in intracytoplasmic A particles and MTV. The three major proteins of the A particles were calculated to be 80,000; 35,000; and 20,000 daltons. Five major polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis bands were obtained with purified MTV; these were 90,000; 69,000; 55,000; 37,000; and 27,500 daltons. These figures showed good correlation with those published for MTV by Nowinski et al. These results suggest the need for the reexamination of the current tenet that intracytoplasmic particles represent intracellular MTV nucleoprotein cores. 相似文献

Analysis of the cytoplasmic fraction of chick embryo cells during the exponential phase of Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) virus growth showed that the viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) labeled by a short pulse with 3H-uridine was associated with a structure which sedimented in sucrose density gradients with a coefficient of 65S. The RNA extracted from this structure sedimented in sucrose density gradients at 26S. After a longer period of exposure to 3H-uridine, the radio-active viral RNA was associated with a structure which sedimented in sucrose density gradients as would materials with coefficients of about 140S. The 140S structure contained viral RNA and viral protein. It was shown that the 140S structures are not virus-induced polysomes. The 140S structure contained predominantly the 40S type of viral RNA and some 26S type. Electrophoretic analysis of the disrupted virion revealed that at least two proteins (types I and II) were present in the purified virion. Only type II protein was present in the 140S structure. Unlike the virion, the 140S structure did not contain any lipid which could be detected by the incorporation of 14C-choline. These data suggest that the 140S structure represents the internal nucleoprotein part of the virion. The rate of appearance of labeled virus lags behind that of the formation of the 140S structure in infected cells. Pulse-chase experiments with 3H-leucine suggest that the 140S structure may represent a precursor to the virus particle. The results are discussed in terms of the maturation of WEE virus in the infected cells. 相似文献

HeLa chromatin core particles contain a protein kinase which transfers phosphate from ATP to both nonhistone proteins and histones. The enzyme preferentially modifies H3 among the histones; about 7% of the H3 molecules in the nucleoprotein are modified at saturation. Activity of this kinase likely contributed to earlier results using crosslinking methodology to study which histones interact with the ends of core particle DNA. When the kinase is largely removed by sedimentation of core particles through sucrose gradients containing 0.45 M NaCl, crosslinking of the 5'-terminal label on DNA is observed only to histone H3. The overall efficiency of the crosslinking reaction is about 15%. The origin of the 5'-terminal 32P previously assigned as crosslinked to H4 is not explained by the current experiments. 相似文献

Infection of L cells with vesicular stomatitis virus results in the release, into the cell-free fluid, of four antigenic components separable by rate zonal centrifugation on sucrose gradients. The largest antigens are the infectious (B) particle and a shorter noninfectious, autointerfering (T) particle. The two small antigens are characterized by sedimentation coefficients of approximately 20S and 6S. Treatment of purified B or T particles with sodium deoxycholate results in the release from the particle of a nucleoprotein core which can be purified on sucrose gradient and which has a sedimentation coefficient characteristic of the virus from which it arose. Utilizing purified antigens labeled with (14)C-amino acids during growth, we examined the protein constituents of each antigen by acrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The proteins of B and T particles are identical, each containing one minor (virus protein 1) and three major (virus proteins 2, 3, and 4) proteins, numbered in order of increasing mobility. Virus protein 3 originates from the nucleoprotein core, whereas proteins 2 and 4 come from the coat. The origin of virus protein 1 is not known. The 20S antigen contains a single protein equivalent to virus protein 3, whereas the 6S antigen shows a single protein which is similar to, but probably distinct from, virus protein 2. 相似文献

Purification of maize streak virus and its relationship to viruses associated with streak diseases of sugar cane and Panicum maximum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Maize streak virus (MSV) was purified by homogenising infected leaf tissue in 0·01 m pH 3·9 phosphate buffer and clarifying the extract with n-butanol (7 ml/100 ml extract). Purified preparations contained particles 20 nm in diameter, some occurring singly, but most occurring in pairs, forming structures of 30 × 20 nm. The sedimentation coefficients of single and paired particles were 54 and 76 S respectively. When centrifuged in sucrose density gradients preparations made by extracting leaves at pH 3·9 gave a single intense light-scattering zone containing paired particles. Preparations made at pH 5·9 or 7·9 gave one or two additional upper zones containing single particles and fragmented material. Preparations treated with 0·05 or 0·1 m ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid, disodium salt, (EDTA) contained no paired particles, few single particles and much fragmented material. In immunoelectrophoresis, the major component in preparations without EDTA migrated to the cathode whereas that in EDTA-treated preparations migrated to the anode. Virus isolates from streak-diseased sugarcane and guinea grass (Panicum maximum) were serologically related to MSV and had similar particles with identical sedimentation coefficients. No such particles were seen in purified preparations of healthy maize, sugarcane, or guinea grass. The viruses from sugarcane and guinea grass are probably host-adapted and are referred to correctly as the sugarcane and guinea grass strains of MSV. MSV probably contains single-stranded RNA, and the cryptogram is (R)/1:*/*:S/S:S/Au. 相似文献

When subcellular particles from. Rhodopseudophas spheroices wore laced on sucrose density gradients, the separation of chromatophores from the cell envelope was markedly affected by the presence of ionic species. In gradients that contained Tris buffer plus 0.01’ magnesium, chromatophores were distributed nearly equally between an upper and a lower pigmented band. About half of the chronatopnores were release from the lower band when magnesium was excluded from the gradients. exclusion of both Tris and magnesium resulted in a quantitative separation of chromatophores (upper band) from the cell envelope (lower ‘and). Thus, the photosynthotic apparatus in Rps. spheroides resides on a membrane system separable from the cell wall-cell membrane complex. 相似文献

Intracellular nucleoprotein complexes containing SV40 supercoiled DNA were purified from cell lysates by chromatography on hydroxyapatite columns followed by velocity sedimentation through sucrose gradients. The major protein components from purified complexes were identified as histone-like proteins. When analyzed by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, complex proteins comigrated with viral core polypeptides VP4, VP5, VP6, and VP7. (3H) tryptophan was not detected in polypeptides from intracellular complexes or in the histone components from purified SV40 virus. However, a large amount of (3H) tryptophan was found in the viral polypeptide VP3 relative to that incorporated into the capsid polypeptides VP1 and VP2. Intracellular complexes contain 30 to 40% more protein than viral cores prepared by alkali dissociation of intact virus, but when complexes were exposed to the same alkaline conditions, protein also was removed from complexes and they subsequently co-sedimented with and had the same buoyant density as viral cores. The composition and physical similarities of nucleoprotein complex and viral cores indicate that complexes may have a role in the assembly of virions. 相似文献

Isolation of transverse tubules by fractionation of sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations in ion-free sucrose density gradients 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A new method for the preparation of transverse tubules (T-tubules) from rabbit skeletal muscles is reported. When crude sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) preparations were centrifuged on sucrose density gradients containing buffering ions (buffered gradients) 70-80% of the material sedimented as a single heavy band in the region of 43% sucrose. When this fraction (or crude SR) was recentrifuged on sucrose gradients prepared free of buffer or other ions (ion-free gradients) the heavy band dissociated into three fractions of different densities. The lightest fraction sedimented at 28% sucrose and was identified as T-tubules on the basis of its nitrendipine and ouabain binding properties. The enzymatic properties, cholesterol contents, and protein compositions of the fractions obtained when SR is centrifuged on buffered and ion-free sucrose density gradients were measured. The T-tubules were enriched in cholesterol and in marker enzymes for surface membranes while the other fractions were shown to be terminal cisternae and longitudinal cisternae on the basis of their (Ca2+,Mg2+)-ATPase activities and characteristic protein profiles. 相似文献

Murine type B particles were separated from type C (Rauscher leukemia virus) by means of gentle (low-increment rate) density gradients. The best separation was obtained when the density ranged from 1.13 to 1.20 g/cm3 when sucrose was used and from 1.12 to 1.28 g/cm3 with CsCl. The buoyant densities of the B and C particle bands in sucrose were 1.18 and 1.16 g/cm3, respectively. The CsCl gradient gave a better separation with the B particles banding at a density of 1.20 g/cm3 and with the C particle density little different from its value in sucrose. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) nucleoprotein complexes were extracted from nuclei of infected monkey cells and fractionated on neutral sucrose density gradients. Complexes which contained replicating SV40 DNA (95S) separated well from those containing closed circular supercoiled viral DNA (75S). DNA polymerase activity was associated with the replicating nucleoprotein complexes but not with the slower sedimenting complexes. This DNA polymerase activity coprecipitated with the nucleoprotein complexes in the presence of MgCl2 and remained associated with the 95S complexes. This DNA polymerase activity has been identified as primarily DNA polymerase alpha on the basis of its sedimentation behavior, optimum salt concentration, and sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide. DNA polymerase gamma activity was also detected in the complexes, but DNA polymerase beta was not associated with the complexes. 相似文献

Purification and some properties of oat golden stripe virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Oat golden stripe virus (OGSV) was maintained in oats by mechanical inoculation and purified by extraction of leaves in borate buffer, two cycles of centrifugation through sucrose cushions and isopycnic centrifugation in CsCl. An antiserum with a titre of 1/1024 in precipitin tests was prepared. Particle length distribution was bimodal with median values, respectively, of 150 and 300 nm from dip preparations. Measurements from immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM) and purified preparations showed that the particles had partially degraded during these procedures. The virus sedimented as two components of 168 S and 218 S and had a buoyant density of 1321 g cm-3. Four isolates of OGSV reacted with the antiserum. Antiserum to members and possible members of the furovirus group were tested in ISEM decoration tests and in ELISA. OGSV was related to soil-borne wheat mosaic virus but not to beet necrotic yellow vein virus, hypochoeris mosaic virus or potato mop-top virus. 相似文献

Use of dextran-40 gradients for separation of pea cotyledon mitochondria into different fractions

A crude pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Homesteader) mitochrondrial preparation was divided into two equal parts. One part was layered on a Dextran-40 step gradient, and the other on a sucrose step gradient, and they were centrifuged to obtain different bands of particles. The densities at which the particles banded and the mitochondrial respiratory activities of the particles were determined. Dextran-40 density gradient centrifugation resulted in a better separation of mitochondrial populations than did sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Separation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation may not be according to the true densities of the particles. On the other hand, the use of gradients of Dextran-40, a solute of low osmotic potential, facilitated separation of particles acording to their true densities. Such mitochondria showed better respiratory control ratio and ADP:0 values, than those isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. 相似文献

Newcastle disease virus (Herts strain), grown in embryonated eggs or in a line of bovine kidney cells, was purified and then separated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation into infectious (IH) and noninfectious hemagglutinating (NIH) particles. These particles were morphologically similar, although the average size of IH was twice that of NIH particles. The activity of hemagglutinin per milligram of virus protein was two- to threefold higher in NIH particles than in IH particles, whereas the specific activity of neuraminidase did not differ in the two particle types. This was consistent with the observed particle size difference. The distribution of the major proteins in IH and NIH particles from egg-grown virus, determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), was significantly different. In IH particles the molar ratio of protein 1 (74,000 daltons) to proteins 2 and 3 (56,000 daltons): protein 6 (41,000 daltons) was 1.0:2.5:2.5; in NIH particles the ratio was 1.0:0.6:1.0. When Newcastle disease virus was grown in bovine kidney cells, the molar ratio of proteins in IH particles resembled that of of egg-grown virus. However, in NIH particles from bovine kidney cells, only protein bands corresponding to protein 1 and proteins 2-3 were present and their molar ratio was 1.0:0.6. Protein 6 was marginally detectable in these particles. Analysis of the proteins in [3H]isoleucine- and [14C]glucosamine-labeled virus showed proteins 1 and 2 (glycoproteins) present in the ratio of 1.0:0.5; protein 3, the nucleoprotein, was not detected. These results are compatible with previous findings by others that NIH particles are deficient in RNA and nucleoprotein antigen, and suggest that formation of discrete particles of Newcastle disease virus by budding requires at most minimal amounts of proteins 3 or 6. The fatty acid composition of egg-grown IH and NIH particles was not significantly different and resembled that of normal allantoic fluid. 相似文献

Peroxisomes, whole chloroplasts, mitochondria, and broken chloroplasts of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), each form 1 band at its typical density, when isolated in sucrose gradients by isopycnic centrifugation in glycylglycine buffer. In potassium-phosphate buffer peroxisomes form a 2nd band at the density of whole chloroplasts. The phosphate effect is half-saturated at a concentration of 10–20 mM. If whole chloroplasts are removed by differential centrifugation before isopycnic centrifugation no second band is formed. Arsenate can be substituted for potassium phosphate while KCl, NaCl, KNO3 and glycolate cannot, showing inorganic phosphate to be the active ion. Evidence is presented showing that during isopycnic centrifugation more slowly sedimenting peroxisomes have to move through faster sedimented bands of whole and broken chloroplasts. In the presence of inorganic phosphate this leads to a specific interaction between whole chloroplasts and peroxisomes visible as a second peroxisomal band at the density of the whole chloroplasts. The relationship of the interaction in vitro to the known association of the two organelles in vivo is considered. 相似文献
