Purification and characterization of cytosolic and microsomal cyclophilins from maize (Zea mays).


ABSTRACT: Methods for the purification and separation of peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPI) from cytosolic and microsomal fractions of etiolated maize are described. On SDS/PAGE, the purified preparations appears as single polypeptides with molecular masses of 17.5 kDa and 17.7 kDa respectively. Instead of using immobilized cyclosporin A derivatives as affinity adsorbents, our methods employ conventional techniques enabling purification of the proteins on a much larger scale than previously described. An antiserum raised against the cytosolic PPI recognizes polypeptides of similar molecular mass from a wide range of plant species on an immunoblot. There is virtually no recognition of the microsomal PPI. The cytosolic and microsomal PPIs are inhibited by cyclosporin A (Ki = 6 nM in both cases), indicating that they are cyclophilins. The cytosolic enzyme is inactivated by 5 mM N-ethylmaleimide and 2 mM phenylglyoxal. N-terminal sequencing of the microsomal PPI indicates a high level of sequence similarity with the N-terminal sequence of mature animal s-cyclophilin (cyclophilin B).
