Abstract A water-soluble polysaccharide was isolated from the culture filtrate of a fungal strain, Sphaeropsis sp. TNPT116-Cz, as a novel insect chitinase inhibitor. It was purified to chromatographic homogeneity by ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 16 kDa by gel filtration HPLC. Monosaccharide analysis showed that it contained glucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and a deoxysugar. This polysaccharide showed potent and specific inhibitory activity against Spodoptera litura chitinase with an IC50 value of 28 nᴍ.

Bovine Factor X is eluted in two forms (X1and X2) from anion exchange chromatographic columns. These two forms have indistinguishable amino acid compositions, molecular weights and specific activities. The amino acid sequences containing the γ-carboxyglutamic acid residues have been shown to be identical in X1 and X2(H. Morris, personal communication). An activation peptide is released from the N-terminal region of the heavy chain of Factor X by an activator from Russell’s viper venom. This peptide can be isolated after activation by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 under nondenaturing conditions. The activation peptides from a mixture of Factors X1 and X2 were separated into two forms by anion-exchange chromatography. The activation peptide (AP1) which eluted first was shown to be derived from Factor X1. while the activation peptiae (AP2) which eluted second was shown to be derived from X2 on the basis of chromatographic separations carried out on Factors X1 and X2 separately. Factor Xa was eluted as a symmetrical single peak. On the basis of these and other data characterizing these products, we conclude that the difference between X1 and X2 are properties of the structures of the activation peptides.

ABSTRACT In this study, we report the purification, initial structural characterization, and functional analysis of the molecular chaperone ClpB from the gram-positive, halophilic lactic acid bacterium Tetragenococcus halophilus. A recombinant T. halophilus ClpB (ClpB Tha ) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. As demonstrated by gel filtration chromatography, chemical cross-linking with glutaraldehyde, and electron microscopy, ClpB Tha forms a homohexameric single-ring structure in the presence of ATP under nonstress conditions. However, under stress conditions, such as high-temperature (>45°C) and high-salt concentrations (>1 M KCl), it dissociated into dimers and monomers, regardless of the presence of ATP. The hexameric ClpB Tha reactivated heat-aggregated proteins dependent upon the DnaK system from T. halophilus (KJE Tha ) and ATP. Interestingly, the mixture of dimer and monomer ClpB Tha , which was formed under stress conditions, protected substrate proteins from thermal inactivation and aggregation in a manner similar to those of general molecular chaperones. From these results, we hypothesize that ClpB Tha forms dimers and monomers to function as a holding chaperone under stress conditions, whereas it forms a hexamer ring to function as a disaggregating chaperone in cooperation with KJE Tha and ATP under poststress conditions.
