Glyoxylate dehydrogenase (glyoxylate: NAD+ oxidoreductase) was purified 600-fold in three steps from crude extracts of the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii (Corticium rolfsii Curzi). Two of the purification steps involved dye-affinity chromatography. The enzyme is a tetramer of Mr 250 000, with identical subunits of Mr 57 000. Inhibition studies suggest that there is one essential thiol group per active site.

We have isolated and characterized three anti-recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) that recognize nonoverlapping epitopes on rHuEPO. Anti-EPO MoAb D11 neutralizes rHuEPO activity whereas MoAbs F12 and 9G8A do not. This suggests that D11 may bind to the rHuEPO active site. MoAbs F12 and D11 recognize conformation dependent epitopes whereas 9G8A does not. Immunoassays were developed for each monoclonal. The 9G8A immunoassay was novel and useful because immunoreactivity increased when rHuEPO was denatured. Disruption of disulfide bonds or removal of carbohydrate increased 9G8A immunoreactivity, which suggests that these elements are important for rHuEPO structure or stability.

The determination of the amino acid sequences of 70 peptides obtained from a thermoiytic digest of penicillopepsin (EC 3.4.23.7) is described. Fifty-six unique sequences ranging from 2 to 13 amino acids were compiled. Among these was a heptapeptide whose sequence is nearly identical with that of the epoxide-reactive active site peptide of porcine pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1). Considering unrecognized overlaps, a minimum of 272 and a maximum of 293 unique amino acids have been obtained. They account for about 90% of the amino acids of the enzyme.
