An RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from baboon endogenous type-C virus by successive column chromatography on DEAE cellulose, phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of 68 000, a pH optimum of 8.0, a Mn2+ optimum of 1 mM, and a KCl optimum of 40 mM. The purified enzyme transcribes heteropolymeric regions of viral 60--70 S RNA isolated from different type-C viruses. The purified enzyme is immunologically related to a similarly purified polymerase from the cat endogenous type-C virus RD114. 相似文献

NADP+-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase was found in several tissues of the pupa of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. This enzyme was highly purified from the whole bodies of pupae. This is the first isolation of the enzyme from insect materials. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The reaction catalyzed by the purified enzyme was readily reversible. The pH optimum for the forward reaction (reduction of NADP+) was 7.8, and that for the reverse reaction (oxidation of NADPH) was 6.6. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 86,000 and was found to be composed of two identical subunits, which have a molecular weight of 44,000. The activity of the enzyme in the forward reaction was slightly inhibited by citrate, oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and others. Citrate stabilized the activity over a wide pH region. 相似文献

A high molecular weight DNA polymerase has been purified from the cytosol of a fast growing hepatoma: LF hepatoma. This enzyme sediments at 11.3 S under polymerization reaction conditions (6 mM KCl) and at 8.3 S in higher salt concentrations (200 mM KCl). In either case, no activity is seen in the 3 to 4 S region where low molecular weight DNA polymerase is found. The purified enzyme has a neutral pH optimum and requires a divalent cation, all four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates and an initiated DNA template for maximal activity. The synthetic template specificity of LF DNA polymerase has been studied. Although this enzyme cannot copy a polyribonucleotide template, the ribostrand of a synthetic hybrid can be used with low efficiency as an initiator for the synthesis of the complementary deoxyribonucleotide strand. The activity of the purified enzyme is strongly inhibited by thiol-blocking agents. The general properties of LF DNA polymerase are similar to those of high molecular weight mammalian DNA polymerases. In our experimental conditions, the error frequency of this tumoral DNA polymerase was no greater than that made by the purified high molecular weight DNA polymerase of regenerating rat liver. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of the RNA-directed DNA polymerase of a primate type-D retrovirus: Mason-Pfizer virus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The RNA-directed DNA polymerase of the primate type-D retrovirus Mason-Pfizer virus was purified using ion-exchange and affinity chromatography, and molecular sieving. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular weight of approx. 80 000 as determined by sedimentation analysis, molecular sieving and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified RNA-directed DNA polymerase retained its ability to use a heteropolymeric RNA as a template. The Mason-Pfizer virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase was also characterized as to its divalent cation preference for several synthetic primertemplates and for heteropolymeric RNA. Mg2+ was preferred as its divalent cation for all primer-templates except oligo(dG).poly(rC)m for which it prefers Mn2+. The Mason-Pfizer virus enzyme was also shown to have a pH optimum of 8-8.5 and a temperature optimum of 37-40 degrees C. The stability of the Mason-Pfizer virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase was shown to differ when measured using different primer-templates. 相似文献

An RNA directed DNA polymerase was purified over 2500 fold from gibbon ape leukemia virus by successive column chromatography on Sephadex G100, DEAE cellulose, phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of 68 000, a pH optimum of 7.5, a Mn2+ optimum of 0.8 mM, and KCl optimum of 80 mM. The purified enzyme transcribes heteropolymeric regions of viral 60-70 S RNA isolated from avian myeloblastosis virus, Rauscher murine leukemia virus and simian sarcoma virus and it is inhibited by antiserum prepared against either gibbon ape leukemia virus or simian sarcoma virus DNA polymerases. 相似文献

An RNA-directed DNA polymerase was purified from a cell line derived from a radiation-induced lymphoma in NIH Swiss mice which produced non-infectious type C virus particles. The enzyme was isolated from a high speed particulate fraction which bands at a density of 1.16--1.19 g/ml in a sucrose gradient, and purified by successive chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of 68 000, a pH optimum of 7.5, a KCl optimum of 50 mM, and a Mn2+ optimum of 0.25 mM. It prefers (dT)15 . (A)n to (dT)15 . (dA)n as the primer template and transcribes the poly(C) strand of (dG)15 .(C)n and (dG)15 . (OMeC)n. It transcribes heteropolymeric regions of avian myeloblastosis virus 70 S RNA, and is inhibited by antiserum to Rauscher murine leukemia virus DNA polymerase. Comparison of the properties of DNA polymerase purified from radiation-induced lymphoma cells with the DNA polymerase purified from non-defective murine type C RNA tumor viruses shows that the mouse lymphoma enzyme is both biochemically and immunologically related to murine leukemia virus DNA polymerases. 相似文献

A lysosomal aspartic protease with cathepsin D activity, from the mosquito, Aedes aegypti, was purified and characterized. Its isolation involved ammonium sulfate (30–50%) and acid (pH 2.5) precipitations of protein extracts from whole previtellogenic mosquitoes followed by cation exchange chromatography. Purity of the enzyme was monitored by SDS-PAGE and silver staining of the gels. The native molecular weight of the purified enzyme as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions was 80,000. SDS-PAGE resolved the enzyme into a single polypeptide with Mr = 40,000 suggesting that it exists as a homodimer in its non-denatured state. The pI of the purified enzyme was 5.4 as determined by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme exhibits properties characteristic of cathepsin D. It utilizes hemoglobin as a substrate and its activity is completely inhibited by pepstatin-A and 6M urea but not by 10 mM KCN. Optimal activity of the purified mosquito aspartic protease was obtained at pH 3.0 and 45°C. With hemoglobin as a substrate the enzyme had an apparent Km of 4.2 μ M. Polyclonal antibodies to the purified enzyme were raised in rabbits. The specificity of the antibodies to the enzyme was verified by immunoblot analysis of crude mosquito extracts and the enzyme separated by both non-denaturing and SDS-PAGE. Density gradient centrifugation of organelles followed by enzymatic and immunoblot analyses demonstrated the lysosomal nature of the purified enzyme. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified mosquito lysosomal protease (19 amino acids) has 74% identity with N-terminal amino acid sequence of porcine and human cathepsins D. 相似文献

We have purified DNA polymerase alpha from a temperature-sensitive mutant cell line of mouse FM3A cells, tsFT20, that shows temperature-sensitive activity of DNA polymerase alpha (Murakami, Y., Yasuda, H., Miyazawa, H., Hanaoka, F., and Yamada, M. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 82, 1761-1765). The purified enzyme was composed of two polypeptides with the same apparent molecular weights as those of purified DNA polymerase alpha from the parental strain, FM3A (Mr 180,000 and 68,000). Heat inactivation experiments revealed that this purified DNA polymerase alpha from tsFT20 cells was more heat-labile than the wild-type enzyme. We have also purified primase from both ts-FT20 cells and wild-type cells. Both primase fractions consist of two polypeptides with molecular weights of 54,000 and 46,000. No difference was observed between the heat labilities of the primases from tsFT20 cells and wild-type cells. Comparisons of wild-type and mutant polymerase indicated that the temperature-sensitive mutation in DNA polymerase alpha from tsFT20 cells affect the dCTP-binding site of the enzyme. The mutation also changed the optimum pH and the optimum KCl concentration of the enzyme. 相似文献

A DNAase (deoxyribonuclease) was isolated from culture supernatants of sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168. The purified enzyme migrated as a single band during polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme differs from other DNAases of B. subtilis in molecular weight, metal-ion requirement and mode of action. The enzyme was inactive in the absence of metal ions, and exhibited optimum activity with 10 mM-Mn2+, although Mg2+, Cd2+ and Co2+ could also permit some activity. The pH optimum for the enzyme was pH 7.5, and it degraded linear-duplex DNA or closed-circular-duplex DNA to acid-soluble material. There was little or no activity on single-stranded DNA or rRNA. Sucrose-gradient analysis of the products of DNAase action on bacteriophage T7 DNA showed that endonucleolytic cleavage had occurred by the introduction of single-strand breaks in both strands of the duplex. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined, by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75, to be 12000. 相似文献

DNA kinase has been purified to homogeneity from calf thymus. The purified enzyme, with a specific activity of 16.7 units/mg protein at 25 degrees C, exhibited a sharp pH/activity curve with a pH optimum at 5.5 and low activity at alkaline pH. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by dodecylsulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 5.4 X 10(4). The enzyme has a sedimentation coefficient of 4.0 S. An apparent molecular weight of 5.6 X 10(4) and a Stokes' radius of 3.3 nm were estimated by gel-filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme phosphorylates neither yeast RNA nor poly(A) instead of DNA. Compared with rat liver DNA kinase, calf thymus DNA kinase is relatively resistant to the inhibition by sulfate (Ki = 7 mM) and pyrophosphate (Ki = 5 mM). The enzyme activity is markedly stimulated by polyamines at the sub-optimal concentration of Mg2+ but not by monovalent cations. 相似文献

A high molecular weight (6 S) plant DNA polymerase from axenic Vinca rosea tissue culture cells has been purified 2200-fold and characterized. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 105 000 (+/-5000). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme yields polypeptide subunits having molecular weights of 70 000 and 34 000. The purified enzyme has a pH optimum of 7.5; a cation requirement optimum of 6 mM Mg2+ or 0.5 mM Mn2+; an apparent requirement for Zn2+; a Km of 1 muM for dTTP; and a 3.5-fold stimulation by 50 mM KCl. The enzyme is sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide (1 mM), heparin (0.1 muM), ethanol (5%), pyrophosphate (0.05 muM), and o-phenanthroline (0.1 mM) but is insensitive to rifamycin. Denatured DNA is found to be the best natural template, and only negligible activity can be demonstrated with the ribopolymer templates poly(dT)n-poly(rA)n and p(dT)10-poly(rA)n. In addition to the polymerization reaction, the enzyme catalyzes a pyrophosphate exchange reaction. Antibody to calf thymus 6-8S DNA polymerase does not inhibit DNA polymerase from Vinca rosea, suggesting no antigenic relationships between the mammalian and plant enzymes. 相似文献

A deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent DNA polymerase (DNA nucleotidyltransferase) was purified 3,000-fold from the marine Pseuodomonas sp. BAL-31. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated by glycerol gradient sedimentation to be 110,000. The enzyme migrated in sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels as a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 105,000. An absolute requirement for divalent cation was satisfied by Mg2+ or Mn2+ at concentrations of 1 mM. Monovalent cations at concentrations higher than 50 mM showed an inhibitory effect. The polymerase activity was resistant to N-ethylmaleimide and showed a wide pH optimum. 相似文献

A DNA endonuclease activity present in calf thymus specific for incision on DNA damaged by ultraviolet light, osmium tetroxide, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide and acid has been purified from whole cell extracts. The enzymatic activity was heterogeneous both with regard to molecular mass and charge. The molecular mass of the enzyme varied from 25 to 35 kDa, but the different enzymatic species appeared to possess similar activities. The enzymes acted equally well on damage in supercoiled and relaxed forms of DNA. It further had a narrow optimum with regard to salt concentrations, the optimum activity being observed at a concentration of KCl from 40 to 65 mM. 相似文献

A new trypsin-like proteinase was purified to homogeneity from the posterior midgut of Tenebrio molitor larvae by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and gel filtration on Superdex-75. The isolated enzyme had molecular mass of 25.5 kD and pI 7.4. The enzyme was also characterized by temperature optimum at 55 degrees C, pH optimum at 8.5, and K(m) value of 0.04 mM (for hydrolysis of Bz-Arg-pNA). According to inhibitor analysis the enzyme is a trypsin-like serine proteinase stable within the pH range of 5.0-9.5. The enzyme hydrolyzes peptide bonds formed by Arg or Lys residues in the P1 position with a preference for relatively long peptide substrates. The N-terminal amino acid sequence, IVGGSSISISSVPXQIXLQY, shares 50-72% identity with other insect trypsin-like proteinases, and 44-50% identity to mammalian trypsins. The isolated enzyme is sensitive to inhibition by plant proteinase inhibitors and it can serve as a suitable target for control of digestion in this stored product pest. 相似文献

Three enzymes with ribonuclease activity, one of which also had deoxyribonuclease activity, have been isolated and partially purified from corn seeds and seedlings. The purification of Ribonuclease I from mature seed was previously reported. This enzyme has a pH optimum near 5.0, is loosely adsorbed to carboxymethyl-cellulose, and has a molecular weight of 23,000, determined by gel filtration.Ribonuclease II was isolated from the microsomes of corn roots, and was partially purified by gel filtration. It has a pH optimum plateau from 5.4 to 7.0, and molecular weight of 17,000.Nuclease I hydrolyzes both RNA and DNA. It was isolated from the large particles of a corn root homogenate and was partially purified on a carboxymethyl-cellulose column. It has a pH optimum at 6.2 and a molecular weight of 31,000.The relative activities of the 3 enzymes for deoxyribonuclease and at pH 5 and pH 6.2 for ribonuclease may be used to characterize them during purification operations. Assays on homogenates of corn roots, and especially of the root tips, suggested that a fourth enzyme, which possesses deoxyribonuclease activity, is also present. 相似文献

A high molecular weight DNA polymerase from Drosophila melanogaster embryos. Purification, structure, and partial characterization. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The DNA polymerase of early embryos of Drosophila melanogaster has been purified to near-homogeneity. The purified enzyme gave a single, catalytically active protein band after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, under nondenaturing conditions. Four polypeptides with molecular weights 43,000, 46,000, 58,000, and 148,000 were resolved when this band was electrophoresed under denaturing conditions. At high ionic strengths, the DNA polymerase had a sedimentation coefficient of 8.7 S, a Stokes radius of 78 A and frictional ratio of 1.81, parameters that yield a molecular weight of 280,000. The purified DNA polymerase possessed no detectable endo- or exodeoxyribonuclease, ATPase, or RNA polymerase activity. Using an "activated" DNA template-primer, the enzyme had a pH optimum of 8.5. It was stimulated by (NH4)2SO4, KCl, and to a lesser extent, NaCl. A divalent metal cation was absolutely required; MgCl2 stimulating activity 7-fold more than MnCl2. It was inhibited by low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide and Aphidicolon. Thus the DNA polymerase of D. melanogaster resembles most closely the alpha-DNA polymerases that have been purified from mammalian cells. 相似文献

Biochemical characterization of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA polymerase, a model DNA polymerase and an important target for antiviral drugs, has been limited by a lack of pure enzyme in sufficient quantity. To overcome this limitation, the HSV DNA polymerase gene was introduced into the baculovirus, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus, under the control of the polyhedrin promoter to give rise to a recombinant baculovirus, BP58. BP58-infected Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells expressed a polypeptide that was indistinguishable from authentic polymerase by several immunological and biochemical properties, at levels approximately ten-fold higher per infected cell than found in HSV-infected Vero cells. The DNA polymerase was purified to apparent homogeneity from BP58-infected insect cells. Using activated DNA as primer-template, the purified enzyme exhibited specific activity similar to that of enzyme isolated from HSV-infected Vero cells, indicating that additional polymerase-associated proteins from HSV-infected cells are not critical for activity with this primer-template. 3'-5' exonuclease activity co-purified with the BP58-expressed HSV DNA polymerase, demonstrating that this activity is intrinsic to the polymerase polypeptide. The purified enzyme also exhibited RNAse H activity. The recombinant baculovirus should permit detailed biochemical and biophysical studies of this enzyme. 相似文献

Purification and properties of a nitrilase specific for the herbicide bromoxynil and corresponding nucleotide sequence analysis of the bxn gene 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A Klebsiella ozaenae nitrilase which converts the herbicide bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) to 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid has been expressed at 5-10% of the total protein in Escherichia coli from a cloned K. ozaenae DNA segment and purified 10.3-fold to homogeneity. The purified polypeptide is molecular weight 37,000 in size, but the active form of the enzyme is composed of two identical subunits. The purified enzyme exhibits a pH optimum of 9.2 and a temperature optimum of 35 degrees C. The purified enzyme is also quite sensitive to thiol-specific reagents. The nitrilase is highly specific for bromoxynil as substrate with a Km of 0.31 mM and Vmax of 15 mumol of NH3 released/min/mg protein. Analysis of bromoxynil-related substrates indicates the enzyme exhibits preference for compounds containing two meta-positioned halogen atoms. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 1,212-base pair PstI-HincII DNA segment containing the locus (bxn) encoding the bromoxynil-specific nitrilase reveals a single open reading frame encoding a polypeptide 349 amino acids in length. The predicted sequence of the purified enzyme was derived from the nucleotide sequence of the bxn gene. 相似文献
