Purification and properties of arylsulphatase A from rabbit testis.

ABSTRACT: Rabbit testis arylsulphatase A was purified 140-fold with a recovery of 20% from detergent extracts of an acetone-dried powder by using DE-52 cellulose column chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and preparative isoelectric focusing. The purified enzyme showed one major band with one minor contaminant on electrophoresis in a 7.5% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel at pH8.3. On sodiumdodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis, a single major band was observed with minor contaminants. The final preparation of enzyme was free from general proteolytic, esterase, hyaluronidase, beta-glucuronidase and beta-galactosidase activities. Rabbit testicular arylsulphatase A exists as a dimer of mol.wt. 110000 at pH7.1. At pH5.0 the enzyme is a tetramer of mol.wt. 220000. Arylsulphatase A appears to consist of two identical subunits of mol.wt. 55000 each. The highly purified enzyme has pI4.6. The enzyme hydrolyses p-nitrocatechol sulphate with Km and Vmax, of 4.1 mM and 80nmol/min respectively, but has no activity toward p-nitrophenyl sulphate. The pH optimum of the enzyme varies with the incubation time. By applying Sephacex G-200 chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing, one form of enzyme was obtained. The enzyme has properites common to arylsulphatase A of other sources with respect to the anomalous time-activity relationship, pI, inhibition by PO42-, SO32- and Ag+ ions and substrate affinity to p-nitrocatechol sulphate. However, the enzyme shows the temperature optimum of arylsulphatase B of other species.

Purification and properties of arylsulphatase B of human liver.

Project description:1. A purification scheme for an arylsulphatase B from human liver is described. Specificity of purification was achieved by the use of the affinity chromatography on an agrose-4-hydroxy-2-nitrophenyl sulphate derivative. The scheme provides a rapid and convenient method for preparation of a highly purified enzyme. 2. The purified enzyme was examined by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel and by ultracentrifugation and was found to be catalytically homogenous, with an apparent molecular weight of 50000 and a specific activity of 93.3 units/mg of protein. 3. The kinetic properties of the purified preparation and the effect of various amino acid group-specific reagents on the catalysis of the enzyme are described. The involvement of histidine residues in the active site of the enzyme is suggested. 4. The purified enzyme lost activity rapidly on freezing. The implication of this observation is discussed in terms of a possible dissociation-reaggregation phenomenon induced by cold treatment.

Purification and properties of arylsulphatase A from chicken brain.

Project description:1. Chicken brain arylsulphatase A was purified 2000-fold, with overall recovery 14%, by using ammonium sulphate fractionation, ethanol precipitation, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. 2. The purified preparation was free from beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, acid phosphatase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-sulphatophosphate sulphohydrolase activities. 3. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that the purified preparation was not homogeneous. 4. Chicken brain arylsulphatase was markedly inhibited by carbonyl reagents in the presence of traces of Cu(2+) in the system. Other metal ions such as Fe(2+) and Zn(2+), were inactive. 5. Ascorbic acid alone had no effect on enzyme activity but enhances the inhibition by Cu(2+). 6. Chicken brain arylsulphatase A resembled arylsulphatase A of other animal species in its kinetic properties such as K(m) value, anomalous time-activity relationship and the inhibitory effect of phosphate, sulphite and sulphate ions. However, its electrophoretic mobility, behaviour under zinc acetate fractionation and stimulation by Ag(+) were similar to arylsulphatase B of other animal species. Thus, this enzyme did not correspond to either arylsulphatase A or arylsulphatase B but properties of both. 7. The purified enzyme preparation can degrade cerebroside 3-sulphate.

NMN adenylyltransferase from bull testis: purification and properties.

Project description:The purification procedure of NMN adenylyltransferase from bull testis presented here consists of a heat step and an acidic precipitation followed by four chromatographic steps, including dye ligand, adsorption and hydrophobic chromatography. The final enzyme preparation subjected to non-denaturing and denaturating PAGE with silver nitrate staining exhibited a single band. At this step the enzyme appeared to be homogeneous. The M(r) value of the native enzyme calculated by gel filtration was about 133,000. The protein appeared to possess a quaternary structure with four subunits of apparent M(r) 33,000 without disulphide interchain bonds. Isoelectric experiments gave a pI of 6.2, and pH studies showed the possible presence of an acidic group in the active site having a pKa of 4.9. Analysis of the amino acid composition showed the presence of more acidic residues than basic ones, according to the pI value calculated by Mono P FPLC. The Ea calculated by Arrhenius plot gave an apparent value of 55.7 kJ/mol. The Km values for NMN, ATP, NAD+ and PPi were 0.11, 0.023, 0.37 and 0.16 nM respectively. The polyclonal antiserum produced against the NMN adenylyltransferase reacted with the purified enzyme at different dilutions and recognized the enzyme in the homogenate as well.

Purification and properties of rabbit spermatozoal acrosomal neuraminidase.

Project description:Treatment of rabbit spermatozoa with 50mM-MgCl2 removes the plasma and the outer acrosomal membranes. Subsequent treatment with the detergents Hyamine 2389 and Triton X-100 solubilizes spermatozoal neuraminidase bound to the inner acrosomal membrane. The enzyme was further purified by DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-150 and Bio-Gel P-300 column chromato. The enzyme showed a single major band, with the possibility of some minor contaminants, on disc-gel electrophoresis. It had a specific activity of 0.37 micronmal of sialic acid released/min per mg with purified boar Cowper's-gland mucin as the substrate. The enzyme had marked specificity for 2 leads to 6'-linked sialic acid in glycoproteins. The Km of spermatozoal neuraminidase was 1.72 X 10(-6)M with Cowper's-gland mucin, 1.17 X 10(-5)M with fetuin and 8.8 X 10(-4)M with sialyl-lactose as a substrates. The Vmax. was 0.112 micronmol/min per mg with the Cowper's-gland mucin, 0.071 micronmol/min per mg with fetuin and 0.033 micronmol/min per mg with sialyl-lactose as substrate. The enzyme hydrolysed sheep submaxillary-gland mucin as readily as the Cowper's-gland mucin. The optimum of enzyme activity was at pH 5.0 on the Cowper's-gland mucin and at pH4.3 on sialyl-lactose. The enzyme activity was unaffected by 20mM-Na+ and-K+, but was inhibited by 20mM-Ca2+,-Mn2+,-Co2+ and -Cu2+. The enzyme was unstable in dilute solutions, but could be stored indefinitely freeze-dried at --20 degrees C.

Purification and some properties of rabbit anti-ovalbumin.

Project description:Unlike previous reports that the ovalbumin-anti-ovalbumin complex did not dissociate completely in acid media, our results showed complete dissociation of the complex both in 1.2m-acetic acid, pH2.3, and in KCl-HCl, pH2.2, I 0.06. Thus Sephadex chromatography of the solution obtained by dissolving the antigen-antibody precipitate in these media repeatedly gave two peaks corresponding to anti-ovalbumin and ovalbumin. Further, gel-diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis experiments showed that the phosphate groups of ovalbumin are not involved in the antigenic sites. The antibody thus purified was more easily precipitated than previous preparations. The molecular weight and Stokes radius of the antibody were calculated from its gel-filtration behaviour and were found to be 148000 and 4.8nm respectively. The molecular weight determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was essentially similar (about 0.7% lower).

The purification and properties of cathepsin L from rabbit liver.

Project description:Cathepsin L was purified from rabbit liver by a method involving whole-tissue homogenization, pH precipitation, ammonium sulphate fractionation and chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50, phenyl-Sepharose and Sephadex G-75. Pure enzyme was obtained without the necessity of laborious subcellular fractionation techniques. The Mr of the enzyme was determined to be 29 000 by gel filtration, and affinity for concanavalin A-Sepharose indicated that it was a glycoprotein. A novel technique for detection of enzyme activity in agarose isoelectrofocusing gels showed that the enzyme existed in multiple isoenzymic forms with pI values ranging from 5.0 to 5.9. The enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of azocasein, collagen and Z-Phe-Arg-NMec (where Z and NMec indicate benzyloxycarbonyl and N-methylcoumarin derivative respectively) optimally at pH 5.2, 3.3 and 6.0 respectively. In addition, cathepsin L was found to degrade benzoyl-Phe-Val-Arg-NMec and 3-carboxypropionyl-Ala-Phe-Lys-NMec. However, cathepsin B also cleaved all of these substrates. One major difference between these two enzymes was in their Michaelis constants for Z-Phe-Arg-NMec; cathepsin B had Km 75 microM whereas that of cathepsin L was 0.7 microM. Cathepsin L was inhibited by all of the usual chemical inhibitors of thiol proteinases as well as the more specific inhibitors Z-Phe-Phe-CHN2, Z-Phe-Ala-CHN2, compound E-64 and compound Ep-475. Active-site titration with compound E-64 showed that the purified sample contained 80% active protein, which had kcat. 20s-1 for the substrate Z-Phe-Arg-NMec. Antibodies were raised to active cathepsin L, and these did not cross-react with cathepsin B, thus demonstrating that these two enzymes are immunologically distinct.

Purification and properties of a ribosomal casein kinase from rabbit reticulocytes.

Project description:A casein kinase was isolated and purifed from rabbit reticulocytes. About 90% of the enzyme activity co-sedimented with the ribosomal fraction, whereas about 10% of the enzyme activity was found in the ribosome-free supernatant. Both casein kinases (the ribosome-bound enzyme as well as the free enzyme) showed identical activity and the same molecular weight. On sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis a single band of about 70 000 mol.wt. was observed. Sucrose-gradient analysis, however, showed that the enzyme activity sedimented with a s20,w of approx. 7.5S. This observation suggested that the casein kinase is a dimer composed of subunits of identical molecular weight. The enzyme utilizes GTP as well as ATP as a phosphoryl donor. It preferentially phosphorylates acidic proteins, in particular the model substrates casein and phosvitin. Casein kinase is cyclic AMP-indepenoent. The Km values for ATP and GTP with phosvitin as a substrate were determined as 1.2 and 8.8 micrometer respectively.

Purification and properties of rabbit muscle L-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Project description:A modified procedure has been developed for the purification of rabbit muscle l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The product of the preparation satisfies all criteria of homogeneity. Some physical properties of the enzyme have been re-investigated. The results suggest that previous preparations may have been contaminated with significant amounts of heavy-molecular-weight protein.

Purification and properties of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from rabbit mammary gland.

Project description:1. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from rabbit mammary gland was purified to homogeneity by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The molecular weight of the subunit is 52 000. The enzyme was purified 150-fold with a final specific activity of 20 mumol of NADP+ reduced/min per mg of protein and overall yield of 3%. The molecular weight of the native enzyme is estimated to be 104 000 from gel-filtration studies. The final purification step was carried out by affinity chromatography with NADP+-Sepharose. 2. The Km values for 6-phosphogluconate and NADP+ are approx. 54 muM and 23 muM respectively. 3. Citrate and pyrophosphate are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme with respect to both 6-phosphogluconate and NADP+. 4. MgCl2 affects the apparent Km for NADP+ at saturating concentrations of 6-phosphogluconate.

Purification and properties of a specific collagenase from rabbit synovial fibroblasts.

Project description:1. A specific collagenase from the culture medium of rabbit synovial fibroblasts was purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. 2. The enzyme was homogenous on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and showed only traces of contaminants when tested in gels with a non-specific antiserum. 3. The rabbit fibroblast collagenase could hydrolyse collagen both in solution and in fibrillar form. Viscometry showed that at 35 degrees C the purified enzyme could hydrolyse greater than 50 nmol of collagen/min per mg of enzyme. 4. The purified collagenase cleaved collagen in solution at either 24 degrees or 35 degrees C into the characteristic 1/4 and 3/4-length fragments. However, as compared with the impure enzyme, the purified enzyme at 35 degrees C had a much decreased capacity to further degrade the initial specific cleavage products. 5. The specific rabbit collagenase had a mol. wt. of approx. 32000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, and 35000 by gel filtration.
