A procedure for the purification of β-lactamase from Bacillus cereus in a single chromatographic step is described. The enzyme is isolated from the crude culture supernatant by affinity chromatography. An inhibitor, methicillin, was immobilised by covalent attachment to the insoluble column gel, Sepharose. The enzyme was adsorbed to the column ligand from the crude supernatant and was subsequently released by increasing the ionic strength of the eluting buffer. In this way the enzyme was selectively isolated from other proteins in the crude supernatant. About 98% of the original β-lactamase activity was recovered in the purified enzyme fraction. 相似文献

The simultaneous isolation of three enzymes from the southern copperhead snake venom (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix; ACC) is described. The first step is a chromatography of crude venom on a Mono S cation-exchange column at pH 6.5. A fibrin clot promoting enzyme (fiprozyme) that preferentially releases fibrinopeptide B from fibrinogen is isolated from the fraction not binding to the Mono S by a further three-step process. The procedure involves affinity chromatography on Blue Sepharose, gel chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 and metal–chelate chromatography on Chelating Sepharose. Protein C activator and phospholipase coelute from the Mono S column. They are separated by a gel chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. After this step two enzymes are obtained: a highly purified protein C activator applicable in methods for determination of functional level of protein C (a plasma regulator of hemostasis) and an electrophoretically pure enzyme with the activity of phospholipase A2. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of a peptide C-terminal alpha-amidating enzyme from porcine atrium
In many peptide hormones and neuropeptides, the carboxy-terminal alpha-amide structure is essential in eliciting biological activity. Here we report the purification and characterization of an alpha-amidating enzyme from porcine atrium, in which a high concentration of alpha-amidating activity was detected. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the membrane fraction of porcine atria by five steps of chromatography, including an affinity chromatography using a Sepharose column coupled with a substrate, Tyr-Phe-Gly. The purified enzyme was found to be composed of a single polypeptide chain with an apparent molecular weight of 92,000. This enzyme converted several synthetic peptides with C-terminal glycine to the corresponding des-glycine peptide alpha-amides. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the soluble form (S-COMT) of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT, EC 2.1.1.6) were produced using a purified preparation of the enzyme from pig liver as antigen. The selected monoclonal antibodies recognized the enzyme with different capacities. One of them (Co60-1B/7) showed a significant cross reaction with S-COMT from rat and human liver. A protein band of 23 kDa was recognized by the mAbs on Western blots of the soluble fraction of pig liver. The mAbs were also able to recognize the membrane-bound form of the enzyme, which was found to be mainly localized in the microsomal fraction of pig and rat liver as well as of the human hepatoma cell line Hep G2. The protein bands detected in microsomes had a molecular mass of 26 kDa in pig and rat liver and displayed a slightly higher molecular mass (29 kDa) in the Hep G2 cell line. A single step method for the immunoaffinity purification of pig liver S-COMT was developed by using a Sepharose 4B column to which the mAb Co54-5F/8 was covalently coupled. Acid elution conditions were optimized to obtain the enzyme in active form with a good yield. SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified preparation revealed a single protein band with a molecular mass of 23 kDa with 154-fold enrichment in enzyme activity over the starting material. Since the N-terminus was blocked, purified enzyme preparations were cleaved with trypsin. Two fragments of 22 and 33 amino acids in length could be sequenced by Edman degradation. 相似文献

SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE (SUCCINATE: phenazine methosulfate oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1) activity in crude mitochondrial fraction from pea (var. Alaska) cotyledons increased during seed imbibition to reach a maximum after about 12 hours. The increase was not inhibited by either cycloheximide or d(-)threo-chloramphenicol. The postmicrosomal fraction from dry cotyledons, but not that from fully imbibed ones, contained a soluble form of succinate dehydrogenase. The soluble enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and Sepharose 6B column chromatography. The enzyme showed no succinate-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase activity and had a molecular mass of about 100,000 daltons. The soluble enzyme seemed to differ only slightly from succinate dehydrogenase solubilized from the mitochondrial inner membrane from fully imbibed cotyledons by a detergent. It is proposed that the soluble succinate dehydrogenase is associated with an inert mitochondrial inner membrane in dry cotyledons to form an active one during seed imbibition. 相似文献

Monoclonal anti-GnRH antibodies (MoAbs) P862, P778, P813 and P764 reacted optimally to native GnRH and poorly to GnRH(OH) of sequence 4-6, 7-10, 4-10 and 1-10. The heptapeptide 4-10 showed maximum reactivity amongst the four peptides tested for immunoreactivity. Sepharose 4B-GnRH(OH)4-10 (H-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-OH) column was therefore used to purify the fraction of MoAb reacting to this sequence. The affinity purified MoAbs (A-MoAbs) were further characterized for their binding to the different sequences and affinity with native GnRH. The binding, cross-reactivity and affinity characteristics of A-MoAbs were comparable with those of MoAbs. Immunoreactivity of A-MoAbs was also observed to be partly regained when GnRH(OH)1-10 was coupled to Lys, Lys-MDP or H-Ala-Ala-Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-OH. These observations clearly demonstrate that MoAbs were neither contaminated nor were sequence specific but were directed against the conformation of the molecule. 相似文献

An acetylxylan esterase from Thermobifida fusca NTU22 was purified 51-fold as measured by specific activity from crude culture filtrate by ultrafiltration concentration, Sepharose CL-6B and DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. The overall yield of the purified enzyme was 14.4%. The purified enzyme gave an apparent single protein band on an SDS-PAGE. The molecular mass of purified enzyme as estimated by SDS-PAGE and by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-6B was found to be 30 and 28kDa, respectively, indicating that the acetylxylan esterase from T. fusca NTU22 is a monomer. The pI value of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 6.55 by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified esterase was ANPYERGP. The optimum pH and temperature for the purified enzyme were 8.0 and 80°C, respectively. The Zn(2+), Hg(2+), PMSF and DIPF inhibited the enzyme activity. The K(m) value for p-nitrophenyl acetate and acetylxylan were 1.86μM and 0.15%, respectively. Co-operative enzymatic degradation of oat-spelt xylan by purified acetylxylan esterase and xylanase significantly increased the acetic acid liberation compared to the acetylxylan esterase action alone. 相似文献

Solubilization and partial purification of yeast chitin synthetase. Confirmation of the zymogenic nature of the enzyme. 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Chitin synthetase was solubilized with digitonin from a particulate yeast fraction. The solubilized enzyme, which did not sediment at 200,000 X g and emerged after the void volume in a Sepharose 6B column, was active only after treatment with a protease. This confirms that chitin synthetase exists in the plasma membrane as a zymogen and that initiation of the chitin septum occurs by localized activation of the enzyme. By differential extraction with sodium cholate and digitonin, followed by chromatography on Sepharose 6B, a 20-fold purification of the enzyme was achieved with respect to the crude particles. The purified enzyme showed a requirement for a phospholipid; phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylserine were the best activators. Unsaturated fatty acids strongly inhibited synthetase activity, whereas their saturated counterparts were inert. The solubilized enzyme catalyzed the formation of insoluble chitin in the absence of added primer. The synthetic polysaccharide was examined by electron microscopy and found to consist of lozenge-shaped particles about 60 nm long and 10 nm wide. 相似文献

A simple affinity system which required coupling of alpha-L-fucose to Sepharose 4B by epichlorohydrin treatment of Sepharose 4B in the presence of alpha-L-fucose under alkaline conditions has been described. A partially purified preparation of monkey brain alpha-L-fucosidase (alpha-L-fucoside fucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.51) was resolved at pH 5.0 into two major fractions: one bound and one retarded. The enzyme bound to the affinity column and specifically eluted by 2 mM alpha-L-fucose at pH 5.0 appeared to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was constituted mainly by the tetrameric form of the enzyme. The enzyme fraction retarded by the affinity column was found to contain mainly the monomeric form of the enzyme. Additional evidence for the different molecular forms of the enzyme in the bound and retarded fractions came from pH activity profiles and heat inactivation studies. The fucose-Sepharose appeared to bind the tetrameric form of the enzyme specifically and, further, alpha-L-fucose helped to retain the molecular integrity of the tetrameric enzyme. 相似文献

A membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase (EC 2.7.1.67) was purified by affinity chromatography from bovine brain myelin. This enzyme activity was solubilized with non-ionic detergent and chromatographed on an anion-exchange column. Further purification was achieved by affinity chromatography on PI covalently coupled to epoxy-activated Sepharose, which was eluted with a combination of PI and detergent. The final step in the purification was by gel filtration on an Ultrogel AcA44 column. This procedure afforded greater than 5500-fold purification of the enzyme from whole brain myelin. The resulting activity exhibited a major silver-stained band on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr 45,000. The identity of this band as PI kinase was corroborated by demonstration of enzyme activity in the gel region corresponding to that of the stained protein. The purified enzyme exhibited a non-linear dependence on PI as substrate, with two apparent kinetic components. The lower-affinity component exhibited a Km similar to that observed for the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate by the enzyme. 相似文献

We isolated four nitroreductases from Bacteroides fragilis GAI0624 and examined their physicochemical and functional properties. Two major enzyme activities were found in the adsorbed and unadsorbed fractions from DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The adsorbed fraction was subjected to Sephadex G-200 column chromatography, and two further activities were separated. One has high nitroreductase activity (nitroreductase I), and the other has low activity and relatively high molecular weight (nitroreductase III). The nitroreductase I fraction was subjected to hydroxylapatite and chromatofocusing column chromatography, and nitroreductase I was purified about 416-fold with a yield of 6.77%. The unadsorbed fraction from DEAE-cellulose column chromatography was subjected to Sepharose 2B and Sepharose 6B column chromatography. Two enzyme activities were obtained by the Sepharose 6B column chromatography. One has high activity (nitroreductase II), and the other has low activity (nitroreductase IV). Nitroreductase II was rechromatographed by Sepharose 6B gel filtration and purified about 178-fold with a yield of 9.65%. The four enzymes (nitroreductases I, II, III, and IV) were shown to be different by several criteria. Their molecular weights, determined by gel filtration, were 52,000, 320,000, 180,000, and 680,000, respectively. The substrate specificity, the effect on mutagenicity of mutagenic nitro compounds, of nitroreductases I, III, and IV was relatively high for 1-nitropyrene, dinitropyrenes, and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, respectively, but nitroreductase II had broad specificity. Nitroreductase activity required a coenzyme; nitroreductases II, III, and IV were NADPH linked, but nitroreductase I was NADH linked. All enzyme activity was enhanced by addition of flavin mononucleotide and inhibited significantly by dicumarol, p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, o-iodosobenzoic acid, sodium azide, and Cu2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was immobilized to Sepharose 4B and porcine serum was passed through this affinity column. Bound substances were eluted by an EDTA-containing buffer and fractionated in a Sepharose 6B column. A single protein peak of the eluate from the latter column was found to inhibit PLA2 activity in a dose-dependent manner in an assay system using radioactive lecithin as a substrate and porcine pancreatic PLA2 as the enzyme source. The serum fraction containing the PLA2 inhibitory protein(s) (PIP) appeared inhomogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with two major bands close to each other, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 60,000. It was concluded that PIP might act as a protective principle against autodigestion in acute pancreatitis and other inflammatory diseases as well as playing a regulatory role in prostaglandin metabolism. 相似文献

The role of protein kinase C in luteinizing hormone (LH) release was analyzed in studies on the actions of phorbol esters and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in normal and protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme)-depleted pituitary cell cultures. LH secretory responses of normal pituitary cells to GnRH were reduced but not abolished in Ca2+-deficient medium, consistent with the existence of extracellular Ca2+-dependent and -independent components of GnRH action. Both of these components could be elicited by treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). The LH secretory responses to TPA and GnRH were additive only at low doses and converged to a common maximum at high concentrations of the agonists in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. The release of stored LH by GnRH and TPA was accompanied by secretion of newly synthesized LH from 2 to 5 h during stimulation by either of the agonists. LH synthesis was increased in a progressive and dose-dependent manner by GnRH and TPA, and the ratio between newly synthesized and released hormone was near 1:2. TPA caused rapid and complete translocation of cytosolic protein kinase C to the particulate fraction of pituitary cells, followed by a progressive decrease in total enzyme content to approximately 10% after 6 h. Partial recovery of the cytosolic enzyme (to 20%) occurred after washing and reincubation for 15 h. Such kinase C-depleted cells showed prominent, dose-dependent reductions in the actions of GnRH and TPA on LH release and synthesis in both normal and Ca2+-deficient media. These observations support the hypothesis that protein kinase C participates in LH biosynthesis and secretion in pituitary gonadotrophs and is involved in the actions of GnRH upon these processes. 相似文献

A nucleic acid affinity matrix containing a short oligodeoxynucleotide ligand has been prepared as an example of a material which can be used for the rapid and effective isolation of sequence specific DNA binding proteins. Two complementary oligodeoxynucleotides have been employed, one of which contains a small 5'-spacer arm with a terminal thiol group. Using this terminal thiol group, the ligand can be covalently coupled to Tresyl-activated Sepharose 4B or Epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B via a thioether linkage. This approach allows the specific attachment of the nucleic acid ligand via its 5'-terminus to the insoluble matrix. The double stranded affinity material was obtained by annealing of the complementary DNA fragment. As an example, we have used an eicosomer affinity column containing the sequence d(GAATTC) for the isolation of the Eco RI restriction endonuclease. Using a single column, the enzyme could be isolated by eluting the column with a single step or multistep gradient of increasing salt concentration. The enzyme was purified to 75%-85% homogeneity with yields of 0.1 mg to 0.2 mg from 0.5 g of cell paste. 相似文献

The self-priming effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) on luteinizing hormone (LH) release can be demonstrated in vitro by perfusing pituitary tissue with a continuous GnRH stimulus. A characteristic biphasic response is produced. We have used this system to investigate whether or not human follicular fluid (hFF) contains a nonsteroidal substance that can attenuate the GnRH-induced LH secretion in perfused rat pituitary glands. Steroid-extracted hFF, added to the perfusing medium, attenuated the self-priming action of GnRH in a dose-dependent manner. This was not abolished by selectively depleting the inhibin content of hFF by 97% on an immunoaffinity column. Furthermore, the biological activity of the substance was resistant to heating and was removed by dialysis. It is concluded that hFF contains a nonsteroidal factor, distinct from inhibin, that can attenuate the self-priming action of GnRH on pituitary gonadotropes. 相似文献

In the past few years, we developed an extraction procedure which we successfully used to isolate a crude fraction containing digitalis-like substance (DLS) from porcine left ventricular tissue. In this study, the crude fraction was found to cross-react with digoxin antibodies and showed immunoreactivity of 4.25 +/- 0.6 ng digoxin equivalent/ml. On further purification of the crude fraction using silica gel G column chromatography, a fraction C was obtained, which was highly positive inotropic on canine trabeculae and it dose-dependently inhibited ouabain sensitive 86Rb+ uptake in rat heart slices. A 50% inhibition of uptake was obtained by 25 microliters of fraction C. Fraction C also inhibited canine kidney Na+, K(+)-ATPase (Sigma, U.S.A.) dose-dependently and a 50% inhibition of this enzyme required 17 microliters of fraction C. Ashing of the fraction C at 500 degrees C resulted in loss of inotropic and enzyme inhibitory activities, indicating an organic nature of the unknown digitalis-like substance. 相似文献

The degradation of thyrotropin-releasing hormone in rat brain homogenates was studied in the presence of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-prolyl-prolinal and pyroglutamyl diazomethyl ketone, specific and potent active-site-directed inhibitors of prolyl endopeptidase and pyroglutamyl peptide hydrolase, respectively. Substantial TRH degradation was observed, suggesting the presence of another thyrotropin-releasing hormone-degrading enzyme(s). Reports of a thyrotropin-releasing hormone-degrading enzyme with narrow specificity that cleaves the pGlu-His bond of this tripeptide led us to develop a coupled assay using pGlu-His-Pro-2NA as the substrate to measure this activity. Cleavage of the pGlu-His bond of this substrate under conditions in which pyroglutamyl peptide hydrolase is not expressed occurred in the particulate fraction of a rat brain homogenate. This particulate pyroglutamyl-peptide cleaving enzyme was not inhibited by pyroglutamyl diazomethyl ketone but was inhibited by metal chelators such as EDTA and o-phenanthroline. The particulate pyroglutamyl-peptide cleaving enzyme was found predominantly in the brain. Activity in brain regions varied widely with highest levels present in cortex and hippocampus and very low levels in pituitary. The data suggest that degradation of thyrotropin-releasing hormone by the particulate fraction of a brain homogenate is catalyzed mainly by an enzyme that cleaves the pGlu-His bond of thyrotropin-releasing hormone but is distinct from pyroglutamyl peptide hydrolase. 相似文献

A modified five-step purification procedure was developed which gave an 80–87% yield of pure NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) from Chlorella. The enzyme was shown to be composed of six identical subunits with alanine as the C-terminal amino acid. The purified enzyme was covalently coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose-4B, and then the subunits were linked together with dimethyl suberimidate to make a stable antigen affinity column for purification of anti-NADP-GDH IgG from rabbit antiserum. When the subunits of the column-bound holoenzyme were not linked together, elution of the anti-NADP-GDH IgG resulted in a 50% loss of enzyme subunits from the column. This loss of subunits inactivated the column. The monospecific, affinity-purified anti-NADP-GDH IgG was used in an indirect immunoprecipitation procedure with purified sheep anti-rabbit IgG or in an indirect procedure with Staphylococcus Protein A Sepharose 4B to obtain a 95–98% recovery (by either procedure) of 35S-labeled NADP-GDH from radioactive Chlorella cell homogenates. As shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the [35S]NADP-GDH recovered by these procedures was free of contaminating radioactive cellular proteins. When direct precipitation was used with the purified antibody, only an 85–90% recovery of the radioactive enzyme was obtained. Thus, the indirect procedures would be the ones of choice for measurements of the in vivo rates of synthesis and degradation of the NADP-GDH which comprises approximately 0.2% of the total soluble protein of Chlorella. 相似文献
