It was found that K99 pili from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (of bovine origin) could be extracted by treatment with 3M-KSCN solution. The K99 pili were purified by preparative isoelectric focusing to apparent homogeneity as judged by the presence of a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis; the molecular weight of this component was calculated to be 12 600 +/- 300. This indicated that the K99 pili were composed of a single subunit. On analytical ultracentrifugation, a single boundary with an s20,w of 12.2 S at a concentration of 0.42 mg/ml was observed. The average length of purified pili at zero concentration was approx. 160 nm and the diameter was 7.4 +/- 0.6 nm. Amino acid analysis of the purified K99 pili revealed that sulphur-containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine, were absent. Aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, previously reported to be absent [Isaacson (1977) Infect. Immun. 15. 272-279], constituted 7.14% of the total amino acid residues present. On immunoelectrophoresis, purified K99 pili migrated towards the cathode and caused mannose-resistant haemagglutination of horse, but not of sheep or guinea-pig, red blood cells. Pili from enterotoxigenic E. coli of porcine and human origin and from another bacterial species, namely Fusiformis nodosus, could also be extracted by the treatment of respective micro-organisms with 3 M-KSCN.  相似文献

Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes the pyridine nucleotide dependent reduction of fructose to mannitol. Lactobacillus intermedius (NRRL B-3693), a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium (LAB), was found to be an excellent producer of mannitol. The MDH from this bacterium was purified from the cell extract to homogeneity by DEAE Bio-Gel column chromatography, gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5m gel, octyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and Bio-Gel Hydroxyapatite HTP column chromatography. The purified enzyme (specific activity, 331 U/mg protein) was a heterotetrameric protein with a native molecular weight (MW) of about 170 000 and subunit MWs of 43 000 and 34 500. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was at pH 4.7. Both subunits had the same N-terminal amino acid sequence. The optimum temperature for the reductive action of the purified MDH was at 35 degrees C with 44% activity at 50 degrees C and only 15% activity at 60 degrees C. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 5.5 with 50% activity at pH 6.5 and only 35% activity at pH 5.0 for reduction of fructose. The optimum pH for the oxidation of mannitol to fructose was 7.0. The purified enzyme was quite stable at pH 4.5-8.0 and temperature up to 35 degrees C. The K(m) and V(max) values of the enzyme for the reduction of fructose to mannitol were 20 mM and 396 micromol/min/mg protein, respectively. It did not have any reductive activity on glucose, xylose, and arabinose. The activity of the enzyme on fructose was 4.27 times greater with NADPH than NADH as cofactor. This is the first highly NADPH-dependent MDH (EC 1.1.1.138) from a LAB. Comparative properties of the enzyme with other microbial MDHs are presented.  相似文献

Purification and characterization of human platelet proteoglycan.   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
Freshly prepared platelets were shown to contain glycosaminoglycans equivalent to 530 micrograms of hexuronate/10(11) platelets. When the platelets were extracted with 4 M-guanidinium chloride containing proteinase inhibitors, and the extract was dialysed extensively against 7 M-urea solution, almost all of proteoglycan was recovered in the urea-soluble fraction. The proteoglycan was purified from the urea-soluble fraction with a yield of 47% by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, CsCl-density-gradient centrifugation, Bio-Gel A-15m gel filtration and then rechromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. The purified proteoglycan contained 30% glucuronic acid, 32% N-acetylgalactosamine, 14% sulphate and 15% protein. Serine, glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid and leucine accounted for 64% of the total amino acids. The Mr of the proteoglycan was assessed to be approx. 136000 by sedimentation-equilibrium methods. The galactosaminoglycan released by alkaline-borohydride treatment of the proteoglycan was converted stoichiometrically into 4-sulphated unsaturated disaccharide by digestion with chondroitinase AC-II, indicating that the galactosaminoglycan was fully sulphated chondroitin 4-sulphate. The apparent Mr of the chondroitin sulphate was assessed to be 28000 by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5m (KD 0.18). On two-dimensional electrophoresis on a cellulose acetate membrane, the chondroitin sulphate gave a single compact spot co-migrating with a reference chondroitin sulphate, indicating that the chondroitin sulphate chains were homogeneous in both length and charge density. On the basis of these results, the proteoglycan in human platelets was concluded to be a macromolecule of Mr 136000 containing four chondroitin 4-sulphate chains each with the apparent Mr of 28000.  相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase purified to apparent homogeneity from the soluble fraction of bovine adrenal medulla had an apparent Mr of about 280,000 by Bio-Gel A-1.5m chromatography, and gave a single band with a Mr of 60,000 by sodium dodesyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is considered to be composed of four identical subunits. Isoelectric point of purified enzyme was pH 6.0. The amino acid composition of the enzyme was characterized by fairly high contents of glutamic acid and alanine residues. The N-terminal amino acid was determined to be glutamic acid.  相似文献

A unique highly soluble aspermatogenic protein (AP1) was isolated from guinea pig testes and was shown by immunofluorescence to occupy the outer surface of the sperm acrosome. This protein is a potent inducer of allergic orchitis and aspermatogenesis; as little as 0.2 mug induced orchitis in 60 percent of guinea pig tested. The AP1 protein, relatively small and neutral, is stable under acid conditions, but at pH 8.6 shows a variety of forms due either to aggregation or polymorphism. The purified AP1 protein appeared homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 2.7 and in sodium dodecyl sulfate and by immunoelectrophoresis using rabbit antisera to either the purified protein or the testes extract. It also showed a single band on immunodiffusion over a wide concentration range. The purification procedure consisted of delipidation with chloroform/methanol (2/1); acid extraction at pH 3.0; precipitation with 85 percent saturated ammonium sulfate; trichloroacetic acid extraction and gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-1.5; gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-10; chromatography on CM52 cellulose; and preparative gel electrophoresis at pH 2.7. Approximately 20 mg of purified AP1 protein were obtained from 5000 g of wet guinea pig testes. The AP1 protein induced an autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of mononuclear cells around and within the seminiferous tubules (orchitis), followed by extensive damage and destruction of the germinal cells (aspermatogenesis). The course of the disease induced by this protein (0.5 to 1 mug) was essentially identical with that seen with whole testicular tissue or other purified fractions.  相似文献

Pili from Bacteroides nodosus were purified to greater than 99% homogeneity by precipitation at pH 4.0 and in MgCl2 followed by chromatography on BioGel A150. The pili were composed entirely of one type of polypeptide subunit, pilin. No carbohydrates, nucleic acid, lipid, lipopolysaccharide or phosphate could be detected in purified pili preparations. The molecular weight of pilin from B. nodosus strains 91B and 198 was 18,400 and from strain 80 was 19,300. The isoelectric points of pili from B. nodosus strains 91B and 80 were both 4.5. The buoyant densities of pili from strains 91B, 80 and 198 were 1.287, 1.284 and 1.286 g ml-1, respectively. The three strains of B. nodosus did not cross-react in K-agglutination tests and produced pili which did not cross-react in immunodiffusion tests. Antiserum to highly purified pili caused a characteristic K-type agglutination reaction. It was concluded that pili are the K-agglutinogen.  相似文献

Galactokinase (EC 2.7.1.6; ATP:D-galactose-1-phosphotransferase) was purified to homogeneity with a 50% yield from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which were fully induced for the production of the galactose metabolizing enzymes. The purification was accomplished by:(a) ammonium sulfate fractionation, (b) streptomycin sulfate precipitation. (c) DEAE-cellulose chromatography, (d) hydroxylapatite chromatography, and finally (e) Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration. The resulting preparation of galactokinase was judged to be at least 95% pure by the following criteria: (a) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, (b) ultracentrifuge analysis, (c) nondissociating polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and (d) Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration. The purified enzyme preparation was used to determine the Km values for the two substrates, galactose and ATP, which were found to be 0.60 and 0.15 mM, respectively. Vmax was also determined and found to be 3.35 mmol/h/mg. This corresponds to a turnover rate of 3350 molecules of galactose phosphorylated/min/enzyme molecule. The effect of pH on the galactokinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of galactose was determined; the results showed the pH optimum of the reaction to be in the range of pH 8.0 to 9.0. The enzyme is highly specific for galactose since galactokinase did not appear to phosphorylate any of the other sugars tested at a rate greater than 0.5% of the rate of galactose phosphorylation. Amino acid analysis was performed on the enzyme preparation and the results were used to calculate the partial specific volume (v) of 0.736. The NH2-terminal sequence was determined for the first 3 residues. The molecular weight and subunit composition were determined by ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under dissociating and nondissociating conditions. The data obtained indicated that galactokinase is a monomeric protein of molecular weight 58,000.  相似文献

Mixed rumen ciliate protozoa (mainly Entodiniinae) from goats have two kinds of protease; one has a pH optimum of 3.0, the other is active at neutral or alkaline pH. The protease active at neutral or alkaline pH was partially purified from the supernatant after centrifugation of sonicated mixed rumen ciliate protozoa. The supernatant was chromatographed on Bio-Gel A-1.5m and a partially purified protease was obtained. This protease had a molecular weight of more than 400,000. When the sonicated protozoa were heated at 55°C for 15min, the active peak from the Bio-Gel A-1.5m column was shifted to a lower molecular weight, 27,000. The high molecular weight protease was strongly activated by high temprature and SDS, and inhibited by E-64 c. The protease degraded many proteins including those found in rumen bacteria. These findings suggest that rumen ciliate protozoa have high molecular weight protease that plays a role in the digestion of feed and bacterial protein.  相似文献

An extracellular beta-xylosidase from a newly isolated Fusarium proliferatum (NRRL 26517) capable of utilizing corn fiber xylan as growth substrate was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant by DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B batch adsorption chromatography, CM Bio-Gel A column chromatography, Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration and Bio-Gel HTP Hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The purified beta-xylosidase (specific activity, 53 U/mg protein) had a molecular weight of 91,200 as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were 60 degrees C and 4.5, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed xylobiose and higher xylooligosaccharides but was inactive against xylan substrates. It had a Km value of 0.77 mM (p-nitrophenol-beta-D-xyloside, pH 4.5, 50 degrees C) and was competitively inhibited by xylose with a Ki value of 5 mM. The enzyme did not require any metal ion for activity and stability. Comparative properties of this enzyme with other fungal beta-xylosidases are presented.  相似文献

A newly isolated strain of the fungus, Mucor circinelloides (NRRL 26519), when grown on lactose, cellobiose, or Sigmacell 50 produces complete cellulase (endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, and β-glucosidase) system. The extracellular endoglucanase (EG) was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant by ethanol precipitation (75%, v/v), CM Bio-Gel A column chromatography, and Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration. The purified EG (specific activity 43.33 U/mg protein) was a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 27 000. The optimum temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were at 55 °C and 4.0–6.0, respectively. The purified enzyme was fully stable at pH 4.0–7.0 and temperature up to 60 °C. It hydrolysed carboxymethyl cellulose and insoluble cellulose substrates (Avicel, Solka-floc, and Sigmacell 50) to soluble cellodextrins. No glucose, cellobiose, and short chain cellooligosaccarides were formed from these substrates. The purified EG could not degrade oat spelt xylan and larch wood xylan. It bound to Avicell, Solka-floc, and Sigmacell 50 at pH 5.0 and the bound enzyme was released by changing the pH to 8.0. The enzyme activity was enhanced by 27±5 and 44±14% by the addition of 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM CoCl2, respectively, to the reaction mixture. Comparative properties of this enzyme with other fungal EGs are presented.  相似文献

Type 1 pili were purified from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a human urinary tract infection. The pili were removed from the bacteria by mechanical shearing, precipitated out of solution by ammonium sulfate, solubilized in a deoxycholate-containing buffer, and finally purified by gel filtration. Chemical characterization of the isolated pili revealed a single protein subunit (pilin) which had a Mr = 21,500. Amino acid compositional analysis revealed a high content of residues that contribute significantly to secondary structure. Automated sequence analysis of the NH2-terminal region revealed a striking homology (79% identity) with type 1 pili of Escherichia coli. In contrast, NH2-terminal sequence comparison of K. pneumoniae pilin with other previously reported bacterial pilins showed no significant homology. No immunological cross-reactivity was detectable between E. coli and K. pneumoniae pili when tested by Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion or by rocket immunoelectrophoresis. The results of this study, when compared to other studies of bacterial pili, indicate that type 1 pili from members of the Enterobacteriaceae share morphological similarities and that their monomeric subunits are chemically similar. In addition, these results give strong evidence that the type 1 pilins of the enteric bacteria represent a separate class of homologous pilins.  相似文献

A pectin lyase (PNL, EC 4.2.2.10) produced extracellularly by the strain of Penicillium oxalicum in solid-state fermentation medium containing deoiled mandarin orange peel meal was purified to apparent homogeneity by a protocol that included ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The enzyme had molecular mass of 50 kD, as determined by SDS- PAGE and showed optimum pH and temperature at 8.0 and 50 degrees C respectively. It had an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.0 and showed a K(m) of 1.1 mg/ml of citrus pectin. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Mo4+, Ag+ and Pb2+ and also by polyphenolic compounds, in particular tannic acid.  相似文献

As a preliminary study for the explanation of pathobiology of Neodiplostomum seoulense infection, a 54 kDa protease was purified from the crude extract of adult worms by sequential chromatographic methods. The crude extract was subjected to DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column, and protein was eluted using 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) containing 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 M NaCl in stepwise elution. The 0.2 M NaCl fraction was further purified by Q-Sepharose chromatography and protein was eluted using 20 mM sodium acetate (pH 6.4) containing 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 M NaCl, respectively. The 0.1M NaCl fraction showed a single protein band on SDS-PAGE carried out on a 7.5-15% gradient gel. The proteolytic activities of the purified enzyme were specifically inhibited by L-trans-epoxy-succinylleucylamide (4-guanidino) butane (E-64) and iodoacetic acid. The enzyme, cysteine protease, showed the maximum proteolytic activity at pH 6.0 in 0.1 M buffer, and degraded extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and fibronectin with different activities. It is suggested that the cysteine protease may play a role in the nutrient uptake of N. seoulense from the host intestine.  相似文献

A protein moiety from epidermal PBS-soluble products was isolated by gel filtration (Bio-Gel A-1.5m) and ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-cellulose). This protein (A-1-Epid) was not retarded by DEAE-cellulose in Tris-HCl buffer, 15mM, pH 8.1. By IEP against an antiserum to epidermal antigens, it showed a single cathodal arc. On disc electrophoresis, at low pH (4.3) a single band was apparent. On SDS gels this protein demonstrated two bands, one with a molecular weight of 20,000, and the second with a molecular weight of 9,200. This purified antigen was able to block the staining of the basement membrane zone produced by bullous pemphigoid antibodies on monkey esophagus and normal human skin with the use of indirect immunofluorescence. This study also demonstrates that bullous pemphigoid antigen (A-1-Epid) and a second epidermal protein (A-2-Epid) are present in the PBS-soluble products of human esophageal mucosa, saliva, and urine. These antigens appear to be unrelated with the blood group substances or secretor status of the donors.  相似文献

Monoacylglycerol kinase (MGK) has been purified from bovine brain by six steps: isolation of cytosol, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation (0-40%), Bio-Gel A-1.5m, hydroxylapatite, and ATP-agarose column chromatography. The overall purification was 938 times with a 4.8% yield. The column separations (particularly Bio-Gel A-1.5m) and SDS- and nondenaturing-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of enzyme purified from ATP-agarose indicated that MGK exists as a complex (approximately 350 kilodaltons) that is stabilized by 0.5 M NaCl and, on complete dissociation, yields a major protein of 72 kilodaltons. Dithiothreitol, EDTA, and ATP helped to stabilize MGK during purification. The protein peak eluted from hydroxylapatite by 25 mM phosphate activated and stabilized MGK activity. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingomyelin inhibited MGK. These phospholipids and others activated MGK synergistically with the above protein peak. MGK copurified with diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) throughout giving MGK to DGK ratios of 0.05-0.36. Optimal activity required 0.5 mM 2-monoolein and 10 mM MgCl2. Strong inhibition by p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid, N-ethyl-maleimide, and 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), and prevention of this inhibition by dithiothreitol indicated the involvement of intact SH groups in the action of MGK. Purified MGK showed preference for substrates with unsaturated fatty acids except for 1- or 2-monostearin. Overall the preference favored the selective generation of 1-stearoyl- and 2-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic acid.  相似文献

Characterization of lysosomal acid lipase purified from rabbit liver   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Lysosomal acid lipase from rabbit liver was solubilized with digitonin and purified 25,000-fold by Bio-Gel A-1.5 m, DEAE Bio-Gel A and phenyl Sepharose column chromatographies, preparative slab gel electrophoresis and finally Affi-Gel Blue affinity column chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis both in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular weight of the acid lipase was estimated to be 42,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 40,000 by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5 m. The enzyme was a hydrophobic glycoprotein with an isoelectric point of 5.15-5.90. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed tri-, di-, and monoolein and cholesterol oleate, with apparent Vmax values of 5.41, 56.1, 21.7, and 3.25 mumol/min/mg protein, and Km values of 50, 70, 200, and 40 microM, respectively. It hydrolyzed 4-methylumbelliferyl esters with fatty acids of different lengths in the order, medium length chains greater than long chains much greater than short chains. It did not hydrolyze dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. Its activity was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid and p-bromophenacyl bromide and millimolar concentrations of Cu2+ and diethylpyrocarbonate. The activities of the enzyme towards the five substrates listed above showed almost identical thermal stabilities, mobilities on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and inhibition by several inhibitors. These findings support the idea that one enzyme is involved in the hydrolysis of both acylglycerols and cholesterol esters in lysosomes.  相似文献

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase was purified over 400-fold from Plasmodium berghei. The purified enzyme was stable in 0.4 m potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.5 m glucose, 1 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and 1 mm MgCl(2). It had a molecular weight of 280,000 determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation in this buffer, but it aggregated and was unstable in the presence of different salts or a more dilute solution of potassium phosphate. The K(m) for PEP was 2.6 mm and that for Mg(2+) was 1.3 mm. The K(m) for bicarbonate was 2 mm. Citrate, nucleotides, and EDTA inhibited the PEP carboxylase of P. berghei by decreasing the concentration of free magnesium ions, but acetyl-coenzyme A, fructose-1,6-diphosphate, and aspartate did not influence its activity. A chloroquine concentration of 1.8 x 10(-4)m inhibited the enzyme 50%.  相似文献

Alginate-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa are usually associated with the cystic fibrosis lung environment and contribute to the high mortality rates observed among these patients. The present paper describes the purification and enzymatic properties of guanosine diphospho-D-mannose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.132), a key enzyme in alginate biosynthesis by mucoid P. aeruginosa. The enzyme was overproduced using a plasmid vector containing algD (the gene encoding this enzyme) under control of the tac promoter. It was purified from cell-free lysates by lowering the pH to 5.0, heating the extract to 57.5 degrees C for 10 min, and discarding the protein pellet. The enzyme was selectively precipitated from the supernatant fraction with 45% acetone, resuspended in a 100 mM triethanolamine acetate buffer, pH 7.6, and ultimately purified by Bio-Sil TSK-400 gel filtration chromatography. The subunit molecular weight (Mr 48,000) as well as the N-terminal amino acid sequence corresponded to those predicted from the DNA sequence of algD. The native protein migrated as a hexamer of 290,000 molecular weight upon Bio-Gel A-1.5m gel filtration chromatography. Kinetic analysis demonstrated an apparent Km of 14.9 microM for the substrate GDP-D-mannose and 185 microM for the cofactor NAD+. GDP-D-mannuronic acid was identified as the enzyme reaction product. Several compounds (including GMP, ATP, GDP-D-glucose, and maltose) were found to inhibit enzymatic activity. GMP, the most potent of these inhibitors, exhibited competitive inhibition with an apparent Ki of 22.7 microM. Enzyme activity was also sensitive to the sulfhydryl group modifying agents iodoacetamide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. The addition of excess dithiothreitol restored enzyme activity, suggesting a possible involvement of cysteine residues in enzymatic activity.  相似文献

A type IV collagen-degrading enzyme activity secreted by a highly metastatic mouse tumor was purified by concanavalin A- and type IV collagen-agarose affinity chromatographies followed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5 m. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme was 160,000 but about 70,000 when Triton X-100 was added to the column buffer. The purified enzyme protein was resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into two polypeptide chains of about 68,000 and 62,000 daltons. The enzyme activity could be increased by preincubation with trypsin and it is possible that the two chains represent latent and active enzyme forms. The enzyme activity was not reduced in the presence of dithiothreitol, it had a pH optimum of 7.6 and was inhibited by EDTA but not N-ethylmaleimide, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, or Trasylol. The inhibition with EDTA was reversible. The pro-alpha 1(IV) and pro-alpha 2(IV) chains of the type IV procollagen substrate were both degraded at a similar rate to form two pairs of degradation fragments corresponding in molecular weights to about 70 and 30% of the original size chains. The presence of Triton X-100 increased slightly the activity of the enzyme and diminished the reduction of its activity upon freezing, indicating that the enzyme is a hydrophobic protein.  相似文献
