Collagens extracted from heart valves by using limited pepsin digestion were fractionated by differential salt precipitation. Collagen types were identified by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, amino acid analysis and cleavage with CNBr. Heart-valve collagen was heterogeneous in nature, consisting of a mixture of type-I and type-III collagens. The identity of type-III collagen was established on the basis of (a) insolubility in 1.7 M-NaC1 at neutral pH, (b) behaviour of this collagen fraction on gel electrophoresis under reducing and non-reducing conditions, (c) amino acid analysis showing a hydroxyproline/proline ratio greater than 1, and (d) profile of CNBr peptides on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showing a peak characteristic for type-III collagen containing peptides alpha1(III)CB8 and alpha1(III)CB3. In addition to types-I and -III collagen, a collagen polypeptide not previously described in heart valves was identified. This polypeptide represented approx. 30% of the collagen fraction precipitated at 4.0 M-NaCl, it migrated between beta- and alpha1-collagen chains on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and its electrophoretic behaviour was not affected by disulphide-bond reduction. All collagen fractions from the heart valves contained increased amounts of hydroxylysine when compared with type-I and -III collagens from other tissues. The presence of beta- and gamma-chains and higher aggregates in pepsin-solubilized collagen indicated that these collagens were highly cross-linked and suggested that some of these cross-links involved the triple-helical regions of the molecule. It is likely that the higher hydroxylysine content of heart-valve collagen is responsible for the high degree of intermolecular cross-linking and may be the result of an adaptive mechanism for the specialized function of these tissues.

Arterial basement-membrane-like material was isolated from rabbit aortic myomedial cell cultures by sonication and differential centrifugation. Isolated basement-membrane-like material was shown to be free of both cellular and matrix contaminants, on the basis of determinations of DNA, RNA, cholesterol, phosphorus and (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase, combined with electron microscopy. Amino acid analyses showed that arterial basement-membrane-like material was composed of predominantly non-collagenous amino acids. Evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, reduced basement-membrane-like material comprised six major and about 30 minor components in the Mr range 10 000-600 000. One of the major peptides (Mr 225 000) was disulphide-linked. Periodic acid-Schiff staining of gels indicated that most high-molecular-weight components were glycoproteins. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis resolved reduced basement-membrane-like material into more than 100 components, with pI from 5 to 7. The disulphide-linked Mr-225 000 peptide appeared heterogeneous, with pI of 5.6-6.0, and was considered to represent fibronectin. All major peptides were of non-collagenous nature, on the basis of their susceptibility to pepsin and resistance to collagenase. Purified myomedial basement-membrane-like material contained collagenous peptides, as indicated by the presence of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of pepsin-treated and reduced basement-membrane-like material revealed five high-molecular-weight collagenous components appearing in the Mr range 105 000-375 000 relative to type I collagen standards.

<em>Bahan<strong> </strong>baku untuk membuat baso adalah daging hewan, pada umumnya dari daging sapi, ayam, ikan dan babi. Di beberapa daerah di Indonesia terjadi kasus baso tikus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji ada tidaknya kandungan daging tikus pada produk baso yang dijual di pasar Cempaka Putih-Kecamatan Kramat Jakarta Pusat dan di pedagang baso atau mie baso di sekitar kampus Universitas YARSI Jakarta. Daging adalah protein salah satu metode untuk mengidentifikasi protein adalah metode Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).<strong> </strong>Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 6 sampel baso terindikasi ada 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 1 dan 5 yang dibuat dari campuran daging sapi dan tikus; ada 1 sampel baso dengan nomor 6 yang terbuat dari daging tikus; dan 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 2 dan 3 yang terbuat dari campuran sapi  dan babi, dan hanya 1 sampel baso dengan nomor sampel 4 yang benar-benar terbuat dari daging sapi.</em>

Protein Disulphide Isomerase

Protein disulphide-isomerase from bovine liver was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional electrophoresis and N-terminal amino acid analysis. The preparative procedure, a modification of that of Carmichael, Morin & Dixon [(1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 7163-7167], is much faster and higher-yielding than previous procedures, and the final purified material is of higher specific activity. The enzyme has Mr 57 000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, both in the presence and in the absence of thiol compounds. Gel-filtration studies on Sephadex G-200 indicate an Mr of 107 000, suggesting that the native enzyme is a homodimer with no interchain disulphide bonds. Ultracentrifugation studies give a sedimentation coefficient of 3.5S, implying that the enzyme sediments as the monomer. The isoelectric point, in the presence of 8 M-urea, is 4.2, and some microheterogeneity is detectable. The amino acid composition is comparable with previous analyses of this enzyme from bovine liver and of other preparations of thiol:protein disulphide oxidoreductases whose relation to protein disulphide-isomerase has been controversial. The enzyme contains a very high proportion of Glx + Asx residues (27%). The N-terminal residue is His. The pure enzyme has a very small carbohydrate content, determined as 0.5-1.0% by the phenol/H2SO4 assay. Unless specific steps are taken to remove it, the purified enzyme contains a small amount (5 mol/mol of enzyme) of Triton X-100 carried through the purification.

Molecular Weights

The structural polypeptides of the cholera bacteriophage [Formula: see text] have been analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Eight different polypeptides were identified. The apparent molecular weights of the polypeptides were 143 000, 96 500, 68 000, 53 000, 37 500, 29 500, 21 000, and 13 500, respectively. The percentage of total protein corresponding to each polypeptide was estimated.
