The Effect of Including Molybdate in the Eluting Buffer Used for Deae-Cellulose Chromatography on the Quantitation of Glucocorticoid Receptor Transformation

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of including molybdate in the elution buffers used in DEAE cellulose chromatography on the fraction of glucocorticoid receptor which elutes as the transformed species. Inclusion of molybdate leads to a significant decrease in the fraction of receptor eluting as transformed; samples which appear to be nearly 50% transformed if eluted in the absence of molybdate were found to be less than 10% transformed when analyzed using a buffer which contained 5 mM molybdate. This decrease was not caused by loss of receptor or a reversion of transformation. DEAE cellulose accelerates receptor transformation. It is concluded that DEAE cellulose should not be used to quantitate transformation unless molybdate is included in all buffers.     

The physicochemical nature of 37 degrees C cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors in HeLa S3 cells

The physicochemical properties of size, shape and surface charge have been determined for the soluble fraction of cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors which are located in the HeLa S3 cell cytoplasm after incubation of whole cells with glucocorticoid at 37 degrees C. Under hypotonic buffer conditions approximately 80% of the total recovered [3H]triamcinolone acetonide receptor complexes sedimented through a 5-20% density gradients to the tube bottom, and approximately 90% eluted from a Sephacryl S-300 gel exclusion column in the void volume. Increasing the [KCl] of the buffer in the sucrose density gradients, and gel exclusion columns to 0.15 M caused a reduction in the percentage of this large aggregate to approximately 64% and approximately 75%, respectively. Further increases in the [KCl] during analysis to 0.4 M reduced the percentage of rapidly sedimenting receptors to approximately 62%, and shifted the sedimentation coefficient of the slower sedimenting receptors from approximately 5.2 S to 3.9 S. These conditions also decreased the fraction of receptor in the void volume of gel exclusion columns to 67%. Ion exchange analysis of receptor binding to DEAE cellulose, hydroxylapatite, phosphocellulose, and DNA cellulose revealed heterogenous populations of receptor species; comprising both "unactivated" and "activated" receptor forms. The ratios of unactivated/activated receptors was highly dependent on the matrix employed and differed substantially among those evaluated. For example, by the criteria of DEAE cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography approximately 60% of the total 37 degrees C cytoplasmic receptors were in the "activated" state. A large fraction of these receptors, however, failed to bind to DNA cellulose. These results demonstrate that the glucocorticoid receptors which remain in the HeLa S3 cytoplasm at 37 degrees C do not bind to ion exchange materials, which are used as indexes of receptor "activation," in a uniform manner. We hypothesize that the diminished DNA binding capability of these receptors accounts for their cellular localization in the HeLa S3 cell cytoplasm at 37 degrees C.     

Isolation and purification of NADP-dependent "L-malate"-enzyme from corn leaves]

Isolation and purification of "malic-enzyme" NADP was done using fractionation by ammonium sulfate, anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose, gel-filtration through Sephadex G-200 and purification on DEAE Sephadex A-50. The isoenzyme isolated had a specific activity of 40-50 mkM/mg protein per min (approximately 80-fold purification) and contained negligible admixtures.     

Large scale preparation of pure phycobiliproteins

This paper describes simple procedures for the purification of large amounts of phycocyanin and allophycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. A homogeneous natural bloom of this organism provided hundreds of kilograms of cells. Large samples of cells were broken by freezing and thawing. Repeated extraction of the broken cells with distilled water released phycocyanin first, then allophycocyanin, and provides supporting evidence for the current models of phycobilisome structure. The very low ionic strength of the aqueous extracts allowed allophycocyanin release in a particulate form so that this protein could be easily concentrated by centrifugation. Other proteins in the extract were enriched and concentrated by large scale membrane filtration. The biliproteins were purified to homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE cellulose. Purity was established by HPLC and by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. The proteins were examined for stability at various pHs and exposures to visible light.Abbreviations A absorbance at wavelength in nanometers - DEAE cellulose diethylamino ethyl cellulose - HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography - UV ultraviolet     

Characterization of the purified molybdate-stabilized glucocorticoid receptor from rat liver. An in vitro transformable complex

Rat liver glucocorticoid receptor was purified in the presence of molybdate by a three-step procedure comprising protamine sulfate precipitation, affinity chromatography on a dexamethasone matrix and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) on a TSK G 3000 SW column. The [3H]triamcinolone-acetonide-receptor complex was obtained in 20% yield with an overall 11 800-fold purification. The dissociation rate constant of this complex was 1.6 X 10(-4) min-1. The purified receptor sedimented at 8.3 S in high-salt and 9.4 S in low-salt sucrose gradients containing molybdate. A 7.0-nm Stokes radius was determined by HPSEC on a TSK G 4000 column in high-salt buffer. The calculated Mr was 278000. Dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed an almost homogeneous 90 000-Mr band. Three minor bands with Mr of 78 000, 72 000 and 48 000 were also inconstantly seen. An apparent pI = 5.1 was observed for the [3H]steroid complex by isoelectric focusing in agarose gel. Furthermore high-performance ion-exchange chromatography of the purified complex on a DEAE 545 LKB column (DEAE HPLC) yielded a sharp peak eluted at a 315 mM potassium ion concentration. This peak was shown to contain almost all the 90 000-Mr protein. Moreover the purified receptor complex appeared to be transformable to a DNA-binding state after molybdate removal followed by warming 30 min at 25 degrees C in presence of 0.2% bovine serum albumin: 50-78% transformation yield could be demonstrated by DNA-cellulose chromatography. Partial transformation could also be obtained at 0 degrees C in the absence of any added protein and was followed by DEAE HPLC. The transformed complex was eluted by 180 mM potassium.     

Analysis of the molecular species of the chick oviduct progesterone receptor using isoelectric focusing.

Conditions are described for the preparative isoelectric focusing in flat beds of Sephadex of the progesterone receptor from the chick oviduct. The method allows the fractionation of the receptor into two molecular species, one focusing at pI 6 and the other at pI 7 with good purification and recovery. The pI 6 and pI 7 receptor species were purified 2- and 26-fold, respectively. The assaying of the focused fractions with the charcoal binding method provides an accurate identification and quantitation of the [3H]progesterone receptor. The method is reproducible in recovery, quantitation, and resolution of the two receptor species. The receptor with an apparent pI of 6 sediments at approximately 4 S on linear sucrose gradients, while the receptor with an apparent pI of 7 sediments at approximately 3.5 S. On the basis of the sedimentation values and elution patterns from diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) chromatography, the pI 6 component is equivalent to the "B" receptor species and the pI 7 component is equivalent to the "A" receptor species described previously [schrader, W, T., 7 O'Malley, B. W. )1972) J. Biol. Chem. 241, 51--59].     

Characterization of Glucocorticoid Receptors Bound with Corticosterone

Abstract

The physico-chemical properties of glucocorticoid receptors bound with tritiated corticosterone were compared to those of the triamcinolone acetonide glucocorticoid receptor complex. The goal was to determine whether the natural agonist forms complexes similar to those generated by the synthetic agonist. Structure was probed using three techniques; diethylaminoethyl-cellulose (DEAE) chromatography, vertical tube rotor sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation (SGU) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These techniques are all fast enough to allow analysis of the labile corticosterone receptor complexes. Results showed that complexes generated by both classes of ligands were similar. They eluted from DEAE cellulose and HPLC columns at similar positions and sedimented similarly in sucrose gradients. This was true for both the untransformed and transformed species. It is concluded that natural and synthetic glucocorticoid agonists interact with glucocorticoid receptors to form indistinguishable complexes. Thus synthetic agonists are appropriate probes of events which take place with natural glucocorticoids.

Two forms of the GABAA receptor distinguished by anion-exchange chromatography

The GABAA receptor complex was solubilized from rat brain membranes in Triton X-100, enriched by 1012-S affinity chromatography, and subjected to DEAE anion-exchange chromatography. Two forms were distinguished by their differential elution during this HPLC with a KCl gradient. They displayed similar [3H]muscimol- and [3H]flunitrazepam-binding characteristics, as well as [3H]flunitrazepam-binding inhibition by CL 218872. Rechromatography of these distinct ionic forms indicated that they were not in dynamic equilibrium during chromatography. Resolution of these two pharmacologically similar populations of GABAA receptor by anion-exchange HPLC suggests that they differ in charge densities, a condition which may reflect differing glycosylation or phosphorylation states of the complex.     

Large-scale purification of plasmid DNA by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography.

Numerous methods have previously been reported for the final steps in the large-scale purification of plasmid DNA. Although gel permeation and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography have been utilized for this procedure in the past, the limited capacity of these systems often necessitated multiple rounds of chromatography, especially with the high copy number plasmids commonly in use today. In this paper, the use of the high-capacity, high-resolution Protein-Pak DEAE 8HR column is presented for the large-scale isolation of highly purified plasmid DNA from crude E. coli cell lysates. Up to 5 mg of plasmid DNA have been purified in a single 50-minute chromatography run. The purified DNA demonstrated excellent biological activity as demonstrated by restriction endonuclease digestion, E. coli transformation and DNA-mediated gene transfection of eukaryotic cells.     

Production and purification of recombinant protective antigen and protective efficacy against Bacillusanthracis

Recombinant protective antigen (rPA), expressed by Bacillus subtilis WB600 (pPA101), has been purified to homogeneity and the protective efficacy against a Bacillus anthracis challenge has been investigated. rPA was fractionated from culture supernatant fluid by ammonium sulphate, followed by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE Streamline™, anion-exchange chromatography on FPLC MonoQ HR 10/10 and finally, gel filtration chromatography on FPLC Superose 12 HR 10/30, to yield 7 mg rPA per litre of culture. The protective efficacy of rPA against an airborne challenge with the AMES strain of B. anthracis was determined in the presence of the adjuvants, alhydrogel and Ribi, and compared to that achieved by the current UK human vaccine in guinea pigs. rPA combined with the Ribi adjuvant was found to provide 100% protection against challenge.     

Rapid isolation of triosephosphate isomerase utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography

A new method for the isolation of homogeneous triosephosphate isomerase (TPI, EC 5.3.1.1) has been developed. The method utilizes high-performance liquid chromatography on DEAE 5PW and Hydrophase-polyethyleneimine columns, which results in the rapid isolation and essentially quantitative recovery of the enzyme. The procedure is superior to previous methods with respect to specificity, recovery, and time. In addition, this rapid process minimizes the potential for postsynthetic modifications of the protein. Milligram quantities of TPI can be isolated from 100 g of tissue.

Isolation and characterization of an anticoagulant from the salivary glands of the tick, Ornithodoros savignyi (Acari: Argasidae)

An inhibitor of activated coagulation factor X (fXa) was isolated from salivary gland extracts prepared from Ornithodoros savignyi using a two-step procedure, involving reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) ion-exchange chromatography. From its behaviour during DEAE chromatography it could be deduced that it possesses an acidic pI (4.6). Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) of the purified inhibitor showed it to be homogeneous. The molecular mass was determined as 12 kDa using capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) and as 7183.4 using laser desorption mass spectrometry (LDMS). The N-terminal amino acid sequence (residues 1–12) was determined and found to share a 66% identity with tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP). The O. savignyi peptide is a slow, tight-binding inhibitor of fXa (K _i=0.83±0.10 nM). The interaction of the fXa-inhibitor was found to be competitive and dependent on ionic strength. Preliminary investigations show that the inhibitor may be specific for fXa.Deceased.     

Extraction and purification of tissue phosphopeptides

We describe a method of extraction and partial purification of phosphopeptides isolated from pig brain or from the electrical organ of Torpedo marmorata. The extraction of the phosphopeptides was achieved by alcoholic 0,04 N potassium hydroxyde solution or by 10(-1) M KCL containing 10(-3) M EDTA and 10(-4) M DTT. After having tried various fractionation methods like ion exchange chromatography or gel filtration we chose chromatography on DEAE Sephadex followed by purification of the isolated fractions by Sephadex G 25 filtration. The most important phosphate fractions (one was purified to about 90 per cent) were characterized by the determination of the N/P ratio which was different from one phosphopeptide to another. The amino acid composition showed a high glycin, serine and "acid" amino acid content.The presence of phosphoserine was shown by electrophoresis and chromatography of a partial hydrolysate of in vivo 32P labelled phosphopeptides isolated from rat liver. The polyanionic structure of these phosphopeptides allow them to act as real ion exchangers which might be involved during active transport mechanisms in cellular membranes.     

Hereditary porphobilinogen synthase deficiency in human associated with acute hepatic porphyria

Summary Deficient porphobilinogen-synthase (PBG-S) of a previously reported patient with PBG-S defect porphyria (red cell PBG-S activity 2% of the physiological level) has been characterized in erythrocytes after DEAE cellulose chromatography, ultrafiltration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: Residual specific activity of 2.5%, increase of K_m, but identical fractionation, concentration and electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme protein compared to controls. These results provide evidence for a structural mutation of the gene specifying the enzyme PBG-S connected with a homozygous state of this new enzymatic type of hereditary acute porphyria.
