Preparation of an agarose derivative (MPE-agarose) containing a maleimido group which is attached to agarose via a cleavable phenyl ester linkage is described. MPE-agarose was shown to react with the thiol groups in glutathione, bovine serum albumin, bovine hemoglobin, and yeast and rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Treatment of the resulting agarose-linked compounds for 10 min with 1 m hydroxylamine (pH 7) resulted in the cleavage of the phenyl ester linkage, and release of the maleimido derivative of the compound from the gel. In the case of hemoglobin and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase noncovalent interactions between the gel and the released protein lowered the amount of protein which dissolved in the hydroxylamine solution upon cleavage of the phenyl ester linkages. Noncovalently absorbed protein could be removed from the gel, however, by washing the gel with 2 m guanidine hydrochloride after treatment with hydroxylamine. Derivatives of MPE-agarose should prove useful in affinity chromatography and immunoabsorption where it is difficult to elute material bound to conventional affinity supports.  相似文献

The coupling of aliphatic amines to agarose by the cyanogen bromide reaction yields isourea linkages which are positively charged at pH 7. The presence of these cationic sites in affinity gels causes significant non-specific adsorption of proteins. Serum albumin was found to bind to a number of derivatized gels which possessed these charged groups. The use of adipic dihydrazide as the leash moiety yielded affinity gels which were noncharged at pH 7. Serum albumin failed to adsorb to these gels. Beta-galactosidase from Escherichia coli was found to be sensitive to both ionic and hydrophobic groups in an affinity gel. A sample of active-site inhibited enzyme was found to bind to an affinity gel which contained both the cationic isourea and a phenyl structure in the leash. Thus it was concluded that the affinity purification of this enzyme has yet to be demonstrated. These studies dictate against the use of salt and pH gradients to desorb enzymes from affinity sorbents.  相似文献

An uncharged N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative of agarose, Affi-Gel 10, exhibited excellent capacity for immobilization, at pH 7.5, of proteins having isoelectric points of 6.5--11.0. Under identical conditions, acidic proteins with isoelectric points of 3.3--5.9 did not couple well to this activated gel. Immobilization of acidic proteins increased in the presence of 80 mM CaCl2, or at a pH equal to or less than the isoelectric point. Affi-Gel 15, a new N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative of agarose containing a tertiary amine in the spacer arm, coupled acidic proteins efficiently at pH 7.5 but basic proteins coupled poorly. The immobilization of basic proteins to Affi-Gel 15 was increased to useful levels by increasing the ionic strength, or the pH, of the reaction medium. The lectin concanavalin A was efficiently immobilized using either activated gel, and the concanavalin A-agarose derivatives bound 3.9--4.1 mg ovalbumin/ml gel. These studies demonstrate that the charge of the protein relative to the charge of the gel is an important factor affecting the level of protein immobilization to active ester gels.  相似文献

A method is presented for purifying papain from extracts of papaya latex. The procedure involves precipitation of the extract of papaya latex with sodium chloride followed by affinity chromatography of the redissolved precipitate. Precipitation of the protein from the latex extract is necessary to separate the papain from material which interferes with the binding of papain to the affinity column. During affinity chromatography, the affinity column is overloaded to insure absence in the final product of impurities which are capable of binding to the affinity column.The papain prepared by this procedure yielded an amino acid analysis and an N-terminal amino acid analysis expected for a sample of pure papain. No Met was detected on amino acid analysis nor was the presence of N-terminal residues other than He detected. On polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis at pH 4.3, papain prepared by the method described in this work was indistinguishable from crystalline papain which was prepared by the method of Kimmel and Smith, and further purified by affinity chromatography. Both disc gel patterns consisted of a single band and a trailing shadow which was less than 5% of the main band. In routine spectrophotometric assays, the specific activity toward N,α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester of papain prepared by the procedure described in this work was indistinguishable from crystalline papain prepared by the method of Kimmel and Smith, and further purified by affinity chromatography. Values of 24 sec?1' and 15 mm were obtained from the turnover number and Km for the papain-catalyzed hydrolysis of N,α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester at 25 °C, pH 6.00, Γ2 0.30 using a pH stat.  相似文献

Purification and preliminary characterization of human leukocyte elastasel.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Affinity chromatography permits the purification of 1–3 mg of human leukocyte elastase from the leukocytes contained in 500 ml of whole blood. Lysosomal granule proteins are extracted from polymorphonuclear leukocytes and subjected to chromatography on a column of elastin-Sepharose. Contaminating proteins are eluted with buffer containing 1 m NaCl and then elastase activity is eluted with buffer containing 8 m urea. The enzyme retains all of its esterase activity against N-t-BOC-l-alanine p-nitrophenyl ester after exposure to 8 m urea and retains 22% of its activity in the presence of 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate. In sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol leukocyte elastase undergoes autolysis giving rise to several low molecular weight fragments. The molecular weight of the native enzyme is found to be 22.000 by both gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate—acrylamide gel electrophoresis. A characteristic set of four isozymes is seen after acrylamide disc gel electrophoresis at pH 4.5. All bands are active against elastin and also contain carbohydrate by the periodic acid-Schiff stain. On the basis of stain intensity, the slower moving isozymes appear to be richest in carbohydrate. Active leukocyte elastase forms a complex with α1-antitrypsin in a 1:1 molar ratio. The elastase must be enzymatically active for complex formation to occur.  相似文献

Two simple and generally applicable methods of preparation of affinity gels for affinity electrophoresis in agarose and polyacrylamide gels are described. In the first method, amino ligands are coupled to periodate-oxidized agarose gel beads (Sepharose 4B), and homogeneous affinity gels are obtained after mixing the melted substituted beads with either melted agarose solution or with the polymerization mixture used for the preparation of polyacrylamide gels. This type of affinity gel was used for affinity electrophoresis of lectins (immobilized p-aminophenyl glycosides), ribonuclease (immobilized uridine 3′,5′-diphosphate 5′-p-aminophenyl ester), trypsin (immobilized p-aminobenzamidine), and double-stranded phage DNA fragments (immobilized acriflavine). Alternatively, heterogeneous affinity gels are prepared from the suspension of ligand-substituted agarose, dextran, or polyacrylamide gel beads in the polymerization solution normally used for preparation of polyacrylamide electrophoretic gels. This technique was used for affinity electrophoresis of lectins, ribonuclease, and trypsin on affinity gels containing appropriate ligands coupled to the gel beads “activated” by various methods. Applicability of affinity gels prepared by the two methods described above for affinity isoelectric focusing is demonstrated.  相似文献

Ornithine transcarbamylase (EC 2.1.3.3) was purified to homogeneity from rat liver. The basis of the method is the chromatography of a high-speed supernatant fraction of a homogenized rat liver on an affinity column consisting of the transition-state analog of ornithine transcarbamylase, δ-N-(phosphonacetyl)-l-ornithine, immobilized on epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B through the α-amino group. The enzyme was eluted from the column using a gradient of the substrate, carbamyl phosphate, and further purified by gel filtration. The enzyme elutes with a constant specific activity of 250 to 260 μmol min?1 mg?1 at pH 8.5, 37°C, and is free of contaminating proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Determination of the molecular weight of the purified enzyme by centrifugation (98,000) and by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (35,300) indicates that the enzyme from rat liver is a trimer. The enzyme exhibits conventional Michaelis-Menten kinetics at pH 7.4 and in this respect differs from the enzyme prepared by other methods.  相似文献

A lectin, with a specificity for N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylglucosamine and a molecular weight of 43 kDa, was isolated from fruiting bodies of the edible shiitake mushroom Lentinus edodes. The purification procedure entailed extraction with aqueous buffer, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and affinity chromatography on N-acetylgalactosamine-agarose. The lectin was unique in that it was tenaciously bound on anion exchangers including DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sepharose, DEAE-Sephadex, Q-Sepharose, Dowex and PEI-cellulose and also on hydroxyapatite and phenyl Sepharose. It was largely unadsorbed on cation exchangers including CM-cellulose, CM-Sepharose, SP-Sepharose and Amberlite, and also on protein G-Sepharose, Red Sepharose and Affi-gel Blue gel, wheat germ lectin-Sepharose and p-aminophenyl-d-glucopyranoside agarose.  相似文献

8-β-Aminoethylthio-adenosine triphosphate has been synthesized as an ATP derivative and was successfully coupled with N-hydroxysuccinate ester sepharose. The bounded ATP analog can be used on affinity chromatography as a specific substrate ligand for the purification of kinases by means of enzyme substrate binding interaction. Both solubilized and membrane-bound d-galactokinase and l-arabinokinase extracted from mung bean seedlings were immobilized on the ATP-sepharose gel and purified by elution either with a high ionic strength solution (1 m NaCl) or high concentration of a second substrate.  相似文献

Affinity adsorbents for bovine trypsin were prepared by covalently coupling p-(p′-amino-phenoxypropoxy)benzamidine to cellulose and to agarose. Trypsin binds to both adsorbents at pH6–8 and is released at low pH values or in the presence of n-butylamine hydrochloride. Pure β-trypsin may be eluted from crude trypsin bound at pH8.0 to the cellulose adsorbent by stepwise elution with an acetate buffer, pH5.0. Both α- and β-trypsin may be isolated by chromatography of crude trypsin on the agarose derivative in an acetate buffer, pH4.0. These two methods for purifying the trypsin are specific to the particular adsorbents. They are rapid and convenient in use. Both methods leave a mixture of the two enzymes bound to the adsorbent and release occurs only at low pH values. The effects of pH, composition and ionic strength of buffer and other variables on both purification methods are described. Affinity adsorbents of soya-bean trypsin inhibitor and of N-α-(N′-methyl-N′-sulphanilyl) sulphanilylagmatine bound to agarose were prepared, but were found to be of limited usefulness in the purification of trypsin.  相似文献

Isothiocyanates formed from glucosinolates in Brassica species have a strong affinity for amino acids and proteins, especially for their thiol, sulphide and terminal amino groups. To investigate the action of isothiocyanate on cystine residues in proteins and peptides, the present study on the interaction between allyl isothiocyanate and oxidized glutathione under physiological conditions was undertaken. Oxidized glutathione was oxidatively cleaved to some modified glutathiones by the attack of allyl isothiocyanate on its disulphide bond. Two new modified products were isolated from the reaction mixture by gel chromatography and HPLC, and their structures were determined by NMR and mass spectral analyses as glutathionyl N-allyldithiocarbaramate and its allyl thiohydantoin derivative. The formation of these products indicated oxidative cleavage of the disulphide bond in the cystine residue; the electrophilic attack of the isothiocyanate on the sulphur atom must cleave the disulphide bond oxidatively to dithiocarbamate and sulphenate, as in the case of cystine.  相似文献

This investigation leads to the chiral chemical absorption property of a thermoresponsive gel material. d ‐(+)‐α‐phenyl ethyl amine was taken as the chiral chemical. The gel material was synthesized by polymerizing 1:1 mole ratio of N‐isopropyl acrylamide and Na‐acrylate along with methylene bisacrylamide (2 wt.% of total monomer) as a cross‐linker using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N, N, N′, N′‐tetra‐methyl ethylene diamine as an accelerator. The microporous nature of the gel material is observed by scanning electron microscope as well as by surface analysis. It is a pH as well as thermoresponsive gel. The highest gel swelling is observed at around pH 8.2 at room temperature (30 °C). The gel contains carboxylate (―COO?) group in this slightly alkaline condition. In the ionic state, the mutual repulsion of the ionic groups helps in swelling the gel. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the gel is observed to be about 38 °C, which is higher than that of poly N‐isopropyl acrylamide itself (32 °C). This corroborates with the theory and other reported results that LCST increases with the incorporation of ionic moiety in the cross‐linked copolymer. The chiral chemical absorption of the gel material was monitored by measuring circular dichroism of the chiral compound in the presence and absence of gel using a circular dichroism spectropolarimeter (J‐810 L) (JASCO International Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). About 18% of d ‐(+)‐α‐phenyl ethyl amine is absorbed from its aqueous solution by 0.01 g of dry gel material (particle size: 106–212 µm) at room temperature. The absorption of the chiral compound is reversible with temperature having a sudden jump at LCST (38 °C) of the gel material. Chirality 24:506–511, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

p-Hydroxyphenylglyoxal reacts with arginine residues in proteins to give a single product which can be quantitated spectrophotometrically. The reaction takes place under mild conditions, pH 7–9 and 25°C. Under these conditions up to complete modification of Nα-citraconyl-l-arginine was obtained within 60 min with less than 5% modification of other common amino acid side chains. The extent of modification in a protein can be determined at 340 nm using the molar absorption coefficient of 1.83 × 104m?1 cm?1 for the product at pH 9.0 and 25°C following removal of excess reagent by gel filtration. Several proteins, previously shown to have essential arginines, were modified by p-hydroxyphenylglyoxal and the losses in arginines were determined spectrophotometrically. These results were in close agreement with those of previous investigators. Rhea ovomucoid, a glycoprotein without arginines but containing an essential lysine, was relatively unaffected.  相似文献

The high solubility of cyanogen bromide inN-methyl-2-pyrrolidone has afforded an efficient means of controlling the amount of the reagent used to activate an agarose preparation. By controlling the activation step, one can determine the final concentration of the leash moiety. The upper limits of ε-aminocaproic acid incorporation seem to be about 5, 20, and 60 μequiv/ml gel, respectively, for 2, 4, and 6% agarose gels. It is important to conduct the cyanogen bromide reaction at 4–10°C, but the coupling step may be done at room temperature.  相似文献

A new and versatile method for linking biologically active ligands to a polyacrylamide matrix is reported. Active esters of acrylic acid (N-succinimicyl acrylate and N-phthalimidyl acrylate) were synthesized, then copolymerized with acrylamide and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide. Displacement of the active ester in the gel thus formed by various ligands containing aliphatic amino groups resulted in the formation of stable amid bonds between the ligands and the polyacrylamide gel. The affinity gel thus prepared has the following advantages: (i) resistance to chemical and microbiological degradation, (ii) ease of control of ligand level and higher levels of ligand possible, (iii) ease of control of porosity, and (iv) total displacement of the active ester under suitable conditions. Efficacy of this system was tested by preparation of 6-aminohexyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside derivative polyacrylamide gel by the described method. It was found to be more effective for purification of wheat germ agglutinin than the previously published affinity chromatography systems and the wheat germ hemagglutinin was obtained in crystalline form.In addition, partial resolution of isolectins was obtained from the affinity gel witha pH gradient.  相似文献

An agar-degrading bacterium, Catenovulum sp. X3, was isolated from the seawater of Shantou, China. A novel β-agarase gene agaXa was cloned from the strain Catenovulum sp. X3. The gene agaXa consists of 1,590 bp and encodes a protein of 529 amino acids, with only 40 % amino acid sequence identity with known agarases. AgaXa should belong to the glycoside hydrolase family GH118 based on the amino acid sequence similarity. The molecular mass of the recombinant AgaXa (rAgaXa) was estimated to be 52 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It had a maximal agarase activity at 52 °C and pH 7.4 and was stable over pH 5.0?~?9.0 and at temperatures below 42 °C. The K m and V max for agarose were 10.5 mg/ml and 588.2 U/mg, respectively. The purified rAgaXa showed endolytic activity on agarose degradation, yielding neoagarohexaose, neoagarooctaose, neoagarodecaose, and neoagarododecaose as the end products. The results showed that AgaXa has potential applications in agar degradation for the production of oligosaccharides with various bioactivities.  相似文献

Guanidoacetate methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.2) has been purified about 800-fold from rat liver. The purified preparation shows a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular weight of the enzyme is estimated to be 25,000 and 26,000 by Sephadex gel molecular-exclusion chromatography and by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gradient gel, respectively. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured enzyme also has a molecular weight of 26,000; thus, the enzyme is a monomeric protein. Guanidoacetate methyltransferase as isolated is catalytically inactive, but is readily reactivated by incubation with a thiol. The reactivated enzyme, which contains 3 mol of sulfhydryl groups/mol of enzyme, is again inactivated by oxidized glutathione. This inactivation is accompanied by the disappearance of two sulfhydryl residues. The relationship between the loss of enzyme activity and the number of residues disappeared indicates that the integrity of these sulfhydryl residues is critical for activity. The oxidized enzyme fails to bind the substrate S-adenosylmethionine as evidenced by the equilibrium dialysis study. Alkylation of the nonoxidizable sulfhydryl by N-ethylmaleimide shows that this residue is also essential for activity. UV absorption, fluorescence, and CD spectra show no difference between the reduced and oxidized enzymes, but the former is more susceptible to proteolytic attack by trypsin. The enzyme has an isoelectric pH of 5.3, and is most active at pH 9.0. From the CD spectrum, an α helix content of 15% is calculated. The Km values for guanidoacetate and S-adenosylmethionine are 97.5 and 6.73 μm, respectively, at pH 8.0 and 37 °C.  相似文献

Protein bands become visible in polyacrylamide gels containing 8 m urea after chilling the gels in air for 5 to 10 min at ?70°C. Urea appears to crystallize preferentially as opaque bands in regions of the gel where protein reduces the amount of free water available as solvent for the urea molecules. Thus detected, the gel sections containing protein bands from foot-and-mouth disease virus can be immediately cut out, and their proteins obtained by electrophoretic elution or extraction procedures. Analysis of the proteins for purity and concentration is then carried out by electrophoresing measured aliquots on analytical gels, staining with Coomassie brilliant blue, scanning the gels for absorbance at 600 nm, and converting peak areas to micrograms of protein using Folin phenol standard curves determined for each purified capsid protein. The most basic capsid protein and its in virion proteolytic-cleavage products stain metachromatically.  相似文献

Capillary electrophoretic (CE) profiling analysis combined with pattern recognition methods is described for the correlation between urinary nucleoside profiles and uterine cervical cancer. Nucleosides were extracted from urine specimens by solid-phase extraction in affinity mode using phenylboronic acid gel. CE separation was carried out with an uncoated fused-silica capillary (570 mm×50 μm I.D.) maintained at 20°C, using 25 mM borate–42.5 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.7) containing 200 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate as the run buffer under the applied voltage of 20 kV. A total of 15 nucleosides were positively identified in urine samples (2 ml) from eight uterine myoma (benign tumor group), 10 uterine cervical cancer (malignant tumor group) patients and 10 healthy females (normal group) studied. The star symbol plots drawn based on each mean concentration of nucleosides normalized to that in normal group enabled one to discriminate malignant and benign groups from normal group. In addition, canonical discriminant analysis performed on the nucleoside data of 28 individual urine specimens correctly classified into three separate clusters according to groups in the canonical plot.  相似文献

Heparin, heparan sulphate, and various derivatives thereof have been oxidised with periodate at pH 3.0 and 4° and at pH 7.0 and 37°. Whereas oxidation under the latter conditions destroys all of the nonsulphated uronic acids, treatment with periodate at low pH and temperature causes selective oxidation of uronic acid residues. The reactivity of uronic acid residues depends on the nature of neighbouring 2-amino-2-deoxyglucose residues. d-Glucuronic acid residues are susceptible to oxidation when flanked by N-acetylated amino sugars, but resistant when adjacent residues are either unsubstituted or N-sulphated. L-Iduronic acid residues in their natural environment (2-deoxy-2-sulphoamino-d-glucose) are resistant to oxidation, whereas removal of N-sulphate groups renders a portion of these residues periodate-sensitive. Oxidised uronic acid residues in heparin-related glycans may be cleaved by alkali, producing a series of oligosaccharide fragments. Thus, periodate oxidation-alkaline elimination provides an additional method for the controlled degradation of heparin.  相似文献
