Production of a new thermostable neutral alpha-galactosidase from a strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus

An intracellular, thermostable, neutral α-galactosidase (α-D -galactoside galactohydrolase EC 3.2.1.32) was produced in pilot plant quantities from a strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus. The organism was cultured at 50°C in a soluble neutral medium containing water extract of soybean meal (3%) and 0.5% yeast extract. The enzyme biosynthesis was inducible and sensitive to catabolite repression. After autolysis of the cells, the α-galactosidase was selectively and quantitatively complexed from clarified beer directly onto DEAE Sephadex; and enzyme-rich fractions were batchwise eluted with an increasing gradient of NaCl solutions. The eluates were given two consecutive isopropyl alcohol precipitations, and the aqueous solutions of the second precipitate were dialyzed and lyophilized. Final product activity recovery was 72% based on the crude fermentation beer. Best specific activity was 5.2 u/mg protein. Further laboratory purification (DEAE Sephadex and Bio-Gel P200) yielded a product with 14.2 u/mg protein.

Identification of polysaccharides from pericarp tissues of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit in relation to their antioxidant activities

A large number of polysaccharides are present in the pericarp tissues of harvested litchi fruits. A DEAE Sepharose fast-flow anion-exchange column and a Sephadex G-50 gel-permeation column were used to isolate and purify the major polysaccharides from litchi fruit pericarp tissues. Antioxidant activities of these major polysaccharide components were also evaluated. An aqueous extract of the polysaccharides from litchi fruit pericarp tissues was chromatographed on a DEAE anion-exchange column to yield two fractions. The largest amount of the polysaccharide fraction was subjected to further purification by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. The purified product was a neutral polysaccharide, with a molecular weight of 14 kDa, comprised mainly of 65.6% mannose, 33.0% galactose and 1.4% arabinose. Analysis by Smith degradation indicated that there were 8.7% of (1-->2)-glycosidic linkages, 83.3% of (1-->3)-glycosidic linkages and 8.0% of (1-->6)-glycosidic linkages in the polysaccharide. Furthermore, different polysaccharide fractions extracted and purified from litchi fruit pericarp tissues exhibited strong antioxidant activities. Among these fractions, the purified polysaccharide had the highest antioxidant activity and should be explored as a novel potential antioxidant.     

Large scale preparation and crystallization of neuron-specific enolase

A simple method has been developed for the large scale purification of neuron-specific enolase [EC 4.2.1.11]. The method consists of ammonium sulfate fractionation of brain extract, and two subsequent column chromatography steps on DEAE Sephadex A-50. The chromatography was performed on a short (25 cm height) and thick (8.5 cm inside diameter) column unit that was specially devised for the large scale preparation. The purified enolase was crystallized in 0.05 M imidazole-HCl buffer containing 1.6 M ammonium sulfate (pH 6.39), with a yield of 0.9 g/kg of bovine brain tissue.     

The production of foot-and-mouth disease virus from BHK 21 C 13 cells grown on the surface of DEAE sephadex A50 beads.

Methods are described which make possible the production of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus from BHK 21 C13 monolayer cells which have been grown on the surface of serum coated DEAE Sephadex A50 beads. The yield of cells and their susceptibility to infection by FMD virus are equivalent to conventional Roux monolayer systems. The potential for the commercial application of the DEAE Sephadex A50 system is discussed in relation to other unit process monolayer systems and in particular to the system in which cells are cultured in a deep bed of small glass spheres.     

Purification and characterization of the larvicidal toxin of Bacillus sphaericus 1593M

We present here a procedure for purifying the larvicidal toxin from sporulating cells of Bacillus sphaericus 1593M and describe some of the biochemical and biophysical properties of this toxin. The procedure involves solubilization of the cell-wall/membrane bound toxin by sonication of cells followed by repeated rounds of freezing and thawing at 50 degrees C. Further purification involved Sephadex G-100 and DEAE Sephacel chromatography. We show by Sephadex G-100 chromatography that at pH 7.5 the smallest active form of the toxin has an Mr of 38,000 and that this toxin can reversibly aggregate to molecular forms of a size higher than 2 X 10(5) Mr. By shifting the pH from 7.5 to 8.5 only the aggregated forms can be observed.     

Altered glycoprotein synthesis in mouse epidermal cells treated with retinyl acetate in vitro

Retinyl acetate alters glycoprotein synthesis in mouse epidermal cells in culture. Epidermal glycoproteins were enzymatically digested to glycopeptides and separated on DEAE Sephadex A50 columns using different concentrations of LiCl. There was a two-fold increase in incorporation of fucose and glucosamine in the 0.2 M LiCl fraction from cells treated for 3 weeks with 12.5 μg/ml retinyl acetate and 1.25% DMSO as compared with DMSO controls. No changes were noted in other fractions. The glycopeptide from A treated cells isolated on 0.2 M LiCl had a higher molecular weight than glycopeptides from that same fraction eluted by control cells. This isolated newly synthesized glycopeptide from vitamin A treated cells appears to be a single product by rechromatography on DEAE Sephadex A50 and Sephadex G100 columns.     

Purification and properties of chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydratase and prephenate dehydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus.

Chorismate mutase and prephenate dehydratase from Alcaligenes autophus H16 were purified 470-fold with a yield of 24%. During the course of purification, including chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose, phenylalanine-substituted Sepharose, Sephadex G-200 and hydrogyapatite, both enzymes appeared in association. The ratio of their specific activities remained almost constant. The molecular weight of chorismate mutase-prephenast dehydratase varied from 144,000 to 187,000 due to the three different determination methods used. Treatment of electrophoretically homogeneous mutase-dehydratase with sodium dodecyl sulfate dissociated the enzyme into a single component of molecular weight 47,000, indicating a tetramer of identical subunits. The isoelectric point of the bifunctional enzyme was 5.8. Prephenate dehydrogenase was not associated with other enzyme activities; it was separated from mutasedehydratase by DEAE-cellulose chromatgraphy. Chromatography on DEAE Sephadex, Sephadex G-200, and hydroxyapatite resulted in a 740-fold purification with a yield of 10%. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 55,000 as determined by sucrose gradient centrifugation and 65,000 as determined by gel filtration or electrophoresis. Its isoelectric point was pH 6.6. In the overall conversion of chorismate to phenylpyruvate, free prephenate was formed which accumulated in the reaction mixture. The dissociation of prephenate allowed prephenate dehydrogenase to compete with prephenate dehydratase for the substrate.     

Preliminary characterization and partial purification of rat uterine nuclear type II Binding sites

These studies represent the first biochemical characterization and purification of nuclear type II binding sites from the rat uterus. Uterine nuclei from estradiol-implanted rats were digested with DNA'se and RNA'se, washed with Na deoxycholate-Tween 40 and extracted with 0.4 M ammonium sulfate (AmSO4). Nuclear type II sites in the AmSO4 extract eluted as a single peak during DEAE ion exchange chromatography, HPLC (Waters DEAE 5PW column) and Sephadex G-100 chromatography with a molecular weight of approximately 37K. DEAE and quercetin-sepharose affinity chromatography resulted in significant purification (greater than 800-fold) of nuclear type II sites with a 49% yield. Type II sites were not recognized by rat ER antibodies (Abbot ER-EIA kit) which immunoadsorbed ER from these preparations. These biochemical and immunological studies suggest that the ER and type II sites are likely to be different proteins.

One-Step Chromatographic Purification of Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil-Activating Protein Expressed in Bacillus subtilis

Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP), a major virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), is capable of activating human neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secrete inammatory mediators. HP-NAP is a vaccine candidate, a possible drug target, and a potential in vitro diagnostic marker for H. pylori infection. HP-NAP has also been shown to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of allergic asthma and bladder cancer. Hence, an efficient way to obtain pure HP-NAP needs to be developed. In this study, one-step anion-exchange chromatography in negative mode was applied to purify the recombinant HP-NAP expressed in Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis). This purification technique was based on the binding of host cell proteins and/or impurities other than HP-NAP to DEAE Sephadex resins. At pH 8.0, almost no other proteins except HP-NAP passed through the DEAE Sephadex column. More than 60% of the total HP-NAP with purity higher than 91% was recovered in the flow-through fraction from this single-step DEAE Sephadex chromatography. The purified recombinant HP-NAP was further demonstrated to be a multimeric protein with a secondary structure of α-helix and capable of activating human neutrophils to stimulate ROS production. Thus, this one-step negative chromatography using DEAE Sephadex resin can efficiently yield functional HP-NAP from B. subtilis in its native form with high purity. HP-NAP purified by this method could be further utilized for the development of new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for H. pylori infection.     

Blood protein-inactivating atropine

A xenobiotics-inactivating hemoprotein related to the class of pharmacologically active compounds (cholinolytics) was detected in rat blood. Ammonium sulphate fractionation, DEAE cellulose chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 resulted in 750-fold purification of the protein; its Mr = 73 000-80 000. Multiple injections of the protein to experimental animals led to a 2-3-fold increase of the protein content in the blood.     

Column chromatography of plant polyphenols on weak anion exchangers.

Mixtures of phenols and cinnamic acid derived plant polyphenols are separated on several WAX cellulose materials and on DEAE Sephadex. Reference mixtures are also split up into the following distinct groups: phenolic carboxylic acids--neutral o-dihydroxy phenolics--neutral non o-dihydroxy phenolics. Quantitative recoveries are obtained, while no isomerizations occur with the pH labile plant phenolics. It is suggested that these materials can be used for preparative scale purification of plant phenolics, or for cleaning up plant extracts prior to HPLC examination.

A rapid method for the purification of fatty acid synthetase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

A rapid method for the isolation and purification of small quantities of highly active fatty acid synthetase (FAS) from several strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is presented. The purification procedure which is the shortest reported to this date (18 hr), involves the release of the enzyme by either cell wall digestion with Zymolyase 60000 or cell wall disruption by glass beads, followed by 35-50% ammonium sulfate fractionation, desalting by Sephadex G-25 chromatography, then calcium phosphate gel treatment, concentration by 50% ammonium sulfate precipitation, sedimentation of the enzyme in the ultracentrifuge and finally, column chromatography on DEAE Bio-Gel A. Fatty acid synthetase prepared by the cell breakage method, was found to be homogeneous according to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), SDS-Tris-glycine disc gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis criteria. However, enzyme prepared from Zymolyase treated cells showed several proteolytic bands in addition to FAS bands, on SDS-PAGE. Enzyme obtained by both methods of cell breakage, showed a similar behavior throughout the purification procedure and gave a similar yield of enzyme of high specific activity (4800-7200 nmol/min/mg) that remained stable for several months at -85 degrees C.     

Endogenous factors possessing lymphoid chalone properties, purified by chromatography

Lymphoid chalone extracts, obtained from bovine spleen were purified on chromatographic columns: in the first step of the procedure, exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G75, and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE Sephadex were applied. A purified, active material was thus obtained. Upon thin layer chromatography, this fraction was shown to contain 3-4 UV absorbing components and 2 ninhydrin positive components. Further purification on Biogel P2, on Sephadex G10 and preparative thin layer chromatography, showed that the biological activity was located in small molecular weight components which belong to the polypeptide series. The ultraviolet absorbing components were identified as known nucleosides. The purified material shows an inhibitory effect on the uptake of 3H-thymidine by lymphocytes, as well as on mitogen induced lymphocyte transformation and haemolysin plaque forming cells. Furthermore, this inhibitory effect is specific for lymphoid cells.
