SummaryA highly glycosylated phosphoprotein (HGPP) was isolated from a human casein fraction by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. This component contained carbohydrates to ∼ 38·2% (w/w) and phosphorus to ∼ 1·6% (w/w). The molecular weight of this HGPP as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ∼ 41000. Ultracentrifugal analysis revealed that the sedimentation coefficient of the HGPP was 2·6S in a 10 mM-imidazole-HCl buffer at pH 7·0 and 27 °C, but this component interacted with human κ-casein and formed a complex with s = 10·4S.

The heterogeneity of Newfoundland winter flounder antifreeze polypeptides was analyzed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Seven antifreeze polypeptide components could be readily demonstrated. Five of the components were similar in molecular weight (3300) and amino acid composition. Two of the antifreeze polypeptide components were larger (4500) and contained valine. The two major components (components 6 and 8) were identical to those reported earlier from our laboratories.
