Isolation And Characterization

The thrombin released products from washed human platelets were separated by filtration on 4% agarose in 0.15 M NaCl. The high molecular weight PF4 complex was dissociated and re-chromatographed in 0.75 M NaCl. The low molecular weight fraction, including β thromboglobulin and a low MW anti-heparin was freed of plasminogen anti-activator by dissociation and chromatography in pH 3.5 pyridine acetic acid. The anti-activator was irreversibly denatured and albumin was removed in the void volume of the column. A more suitable purification procedure for recovery of all activities was affinity chromatography on heparin-agarose. The anti-activator was excluded and could be obtained free of plasma proteins by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The βTG eluted at 0.3 M NaCl and the low MW anti-heparin at 1.5 M NaCl. The pure βTG (MW 36,000) was injected into rabbits and the resulting antiserum used to produce a radioimmunoassay for the release reaction in vivo.

ABSTRACT Pantothenate kinase (CoaA) catalyzes the first step of the coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway. Here we report the identification of the Staphylococcus aureus coaA gene and characterization of the enzyme. We have also identified a series of low-molecular-weight compounds which are effective inhibitors of S. aureus CoaA.

Weight Substance

From crude extracts of hydra, a substance activating head formation was isolated and enriched at least 100000-fold. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 900. Sensitivity against proteases suggests that it is a peptide. The substance acts at a concentration equivalent to the extract of 1 hydra per ml or at a concentration of less than 10 10M. In its highly purified form the substance activates head and bud formation.
