Abstract: | Liver lysosomes isolated from rats treated with hydrocortisone and chloroquine were found to contain an increased amount of protein including 3% of the tryptophan pyrrolase enzyme activity and 5% of the antigenic activity. Immunoprecipitates were obtained by incubating lysosomes with antibody to tryptophan pyrrolase. Analysis of these immunoprecipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed tryptophan pyrrolase subunits (MW 45,000) and smaller polypeptides, presumably proteolytic degradation products of intact subunits. |
