Abstract: | A method for the purification of enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) from an overproducing strain ofEscherichia coli JA 200 pLC 11–8 is described. The procedure included treatment of the crude sonic extract with protamine sulfate, followed by ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography with phenyl Sepharose, HPLC ion exchange chromatography with a DuPont Sax column, and HPLC hydrophobic interaction chromatography with a Bio-Rad 5-PW column. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity as determined by silver staining of 10% sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gels. The native molecular weight ofE. coli enolase was found to be 92 kilodaltons and consisted of two subunits of identical molecular weight, 46 kilodaltons each. The isoelectric point was found to be 4.9. |
