The suitability of fluorography for the detection of 3H- and 14C-labeled proteins on polyacrylamide gradient gels has been investigated. It was found that the absorbance of the fluorographic film image produced by a given level of radioactivity decreased as the acrylamide concentration in the gel increased. The use of Coomassie brilliant blue protein dyes to stain the gel prior to fluorography reduced the absorbance of the fluorographic image. It is concluded that quantitative fluorography can only be applied to unstained gels of a uniform acrylamide concentration.  相似文献

Purified liver microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase is able to catalyze the activation of [14C]ronidazole to metabolite(s) which bind covalently to protein. Like the reaction catalyzed by microsomes, protein alkylation catalyzed by the reductase is (1) sensitive to oxygen, (2) requires reducing equivalents, (3) is inhibited by sulfhydryl-containing compounds and (4) is stimulated several fold by either flavin mononucleotide (FMN) or methytlviologen. A cytochrome P-450 dependent pathway of ronidazole activation can be demonstrated as judged by the inhibition of the reaction by carbon monoxide, metyrapone and 2,4-dichloro-6-phenylphenoxyethylamine but the involvement of specific microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozymes has not been definitively established. Milk xanthine oxidase is also capable of catalyzing ronidazole activation. Polyacrylamide sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-gel electrophoresis reveals that the reactive intermediate(s) of ronidazole does not alkylate proteins selectively.  相似文献

The conditions used in some immunoblot procedures can fail to detect calmodulin, S100 proteins, and other proteins with similar physical properties. We describe here some of the basis of this difficulty, and provide an immunoblot protocol that allows the rapid and reproducible detection of calmodulin and S100 beta in crude biological samples. These proteins are rapidly transferred from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels to membrane matrices, and retention on the matrix is enhanced by a glutaraldehyde fixation step. Either nitrocellulose or a positively charged membrane filter (ZetaProbe) can be used as the immobilizing matrix. By combining microslab gel electrophoresis, 30 min electrophoretic transfer, and glutaraldehyde fixation of nitrocellulose paper, an immunoblot analysis can be done in an 8-hr day.  相似文献

Gottesman et al. (1974) detected a new DNAase in Escherichia coli infected with λ reverse, a recombination-proficient substitution mutant of phage λ which is deleted for the λ recombination genes. We have purified this enzyme, using the procedure developed for the purification of exonuclease VIII (Kushner et al., 1974), a DNAase produced by E. coli K-12 strains carrying sbcA? mutations. The λ reverse exonuclease (Exoλrev) is identical to exonuclease VIII by several criteria. The two enzymes elute at similar salt concentrations from DEAE-cellulose and DNA-cellulose; sediment at the same velocity in glycerol gradients, corresponding to a molecular weight of about 1.4 × 105; migrate at the same RF in sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels, indicating a polypeptide molecular weight of 1.4 × 105; exhibit maximum activity at 20 mm-Mg2+ and pH 8 to 9; and are much more active on double-stranded DNA than on heat-denatured DNA. Both enzymes are rendered sedimentable by antiserum against Exoλrev. This evidence supports the hypothesis that the non-λ DNA substitution in λ reverse includes recE, the structural gene for exonuclease VIII.  相似文献

Phosphodiesterase activator protein has been purified from bovine brain and its properties compared with that of bovine heart troponin C. While both proteins activate ‘activator depleted phosphodiesterase’ in the presence of Ca2+, a 200-fold greater concentration of troponin C was necessary and the maximal effect was less than that with the activator protein. The activator protein formed a Ca2+ -dependent complex with bovine heart troponin I during electrophoresis in 6 M urea-polyacrylamide gel. However, the mobility of this complex was different from that of troponin C · troponin I complex and the affinity between troponin C and troponin I was much stronger than that between the activator protein and troponin I. Ca2+ induced changes in the electrophoretic mobility of activator protein and the pattern of its elution during gel filtration which were similar to the Ca2+-dependent conformational changes observed with troponin C. Bovine heart troponin I reduced basal, troponin C and the activator protein stimulation of phosphodiesterase activity. These results are compatible with the concept that phosphodiesterase activator protein and troponin C might have a functional relationship.  相似文献

We investigated whether insulin forms covalent bonds with its receptors on erythrocytes and reticulocytes, as it does in adipocytes (1). Of the [125I]-insulin specifically bound at 37 degrees C to human and rat erythrocytes and rat reticulocytes, only 1.5-2.3% was non-dissociable on extensive washing. When ghosts prepared from the washed cells were solubilized in Triton X-100, only 0.6-1.5% of the specifically bound radioactivity appeared in the void volume of a Sephadex G-50 column. Moreover in contrast to adipocytes, this high molecular weight radioactivity was not immunoprecipitable by antibodies to the insulin receptor and was dissociated during chromatography in sodium dodecyl sulphate. Thus we have been unable to demonstrate the formation of covalent bonds between insulin and its receptors on erythrocytes and reticulocytes. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that covalent binding of insulin is a necessary receptor modification for insulin's metabolic effects.  相似文献

A quantitative assay for DNA is described that involves the binding of the cytologicalstain, methyl green, to DNA. At pH 7.9, solutions containing free methyl green undergo complete fading whereas solutions containing DNA-bound methyl green retain color in proportion to the amount of DNA present. The procedure allows for the quantitation of DNA in the presence of urea, sucrose, EDTA, protein, dithiothreitol, metrizamide, and low-concentration salts. This method is also applicable to the quantitation of DNA in chromatin.  相似文献

Albumin-synthesizing polysomes from mouse liver and mouse hepatoma cells in in tissue culture have been localized on sucrose gradients with 125I-labeled antimouse serum albumin used as a marker. Competition studies show that the 125I-labeled antibody binds specifically to albumin-synthesizing polysomes from both tissues. The 125I-labeled polysomes from liver and hepatoma cells have identical sedimentation properties on sucrose gradients, which indicates that the polysomes range in size from 9–14 ribosomes. This is comparable in size to polysomes from rat liver and Morris hepatoma. One significant difference between these albumin-synthesizing polysomes is that those extracted from hepatoma cells bind 70% less antibody than equivalent amounts of polysomes from liver cells. Since the level of albumin synthesis in the hepatoma cells is comparable to the level of albumin synthesis in vivo, this difference in antibody-binding capacity is not likely to be due to differences in polysomal content, but appears to be a characteristic difference between hepatoma and normal mouse liver cells.  相似文献

The ability of 2-Hydroxyestradiol, a catecholestrogen, and 17 beta Estradiol to interact with the dopamine inhibition of prolactin and with dopamine receptors has been tested on dispersed human prolactin-secreting cells obtained from ten pituitary adenomas. There is a 80% inhibition of prolactin secretion obtained by addition of dopamine in a superfusion system. This inhibition is not affected by preexposure to the steroids, or by their introduction into the perifusion medium. Moreover 2 Hydroxyestradiol and 17 beta Estradiol do not interact with the binding of 3H Domperidone to DA receptors.  相似文献

Addition of a combination of insulin, dexamethasone and EGF at seeding time to cultured rat hepatocytes in serum-free medium caused a selective increase in the biosynthesis of particular cytokeratin components. This increase was prominent during the first day in culture. No significant increases were detected in the absence of hormones or in the presence of either hormones added alone or in pairs, except in the case of insulin plus dexamethasone, which yielded an effect close to that obtained with the three factors. Interestingly, the latter condition also maintained a high level of albumin production over a 6-day period in culture.  相似文献

A two-dimensional gel electrophoretic system for the separation of cellular proteins is described. The system utilizes sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the first dimension and polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing in the second dimension. The system offers a good starting point for many difficult protein separations requiring SDS.  相似文献

Miniplasmids (pKN402 and pKN410) were isolated from runaway-replication mutants of plasmid R1. At 30°C these miniplasmids are present in 20–50 copies per cell of Escherichia coli, whereas at temperatures above 35°C the plasmids replicate without copy number control during 2–3 h. At the end of this period plasmid DNA amounts to about 75% of the total DNA. During the gene amplification, growth and protein synthesis continue at normal rate leading to a drastic amplification of plasmid gene products. Plasmids pKN402 (4.6 Md) and pKN410 (10 Md) have single restriction sites for restriction endonucleases EcoRI and HindIII; in addition plasmid pKN410 has a single BamHI site and carries ampicillin resistance. The plasmids can therefore be used as cloning vectors. Several genes were cloned into these vectors using the EcoRI sites; chromosomal as well as plasmid-coded β-lactamase was found to be amplified up to 400-fold after thermal induction of the runaway replication. Vectors of this temperature-dependent class will be useful in the production of large quantities of genes and gene products. These plasmids have lost their mobilization capacity. Runaway replication is lethal to the host bacteria in rich media. These two properties contribute to the safe use of the plasmids as cloning vehicles.  相似文献

The possibility that the increased sensitivity of ataxia telangiectasia towards ionizing radiation is related to a DNA-repair deficiency has been examined further. When compared to unaffected controls, 6 lines of fibroblast cells derived from ataxia patients demonstrated a slightly reduced endonucleolytic activity (165 +/- 12 units vs. 214 +/- 28 units) towards apurinic and/or apyrimidinic sites as determined in a "nicking" assay.  相似文献
