Activity Restriction

The restriction endonuclease BstI was purified from 70kg of Bacillus stearothermophilus. The final product is at least 97% pure as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis; this major protein species co-migrates with the enzyme activity on native polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Pure restriction endonuclease BstI has a subunit mol.wt. of 26,000 and is probably a loosely associated dimer. The enzyme shows maximum activity at pH values between 7 and 9.5, and in the presence of 0.5-2mM-Mg2+. NaCl inhibits the restriction enzyme activity. Restriction endonuclease BstI cleaves DNA in a position identical with that cleaved by endonuclease BamHI (for Bacillus amyloliquefaciens), i.e.: (formula: see text). In the presence of high concentrations of enzyme, DNA cleavage occurs at secondary sites. This side-specificity is enhanced by the addition of glycerol. Preliminary studies indicate that these sites are of the type: (formula: see text).

Electrophoretic Techniques

Abstract Human serum proteins were evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after protein denaturation in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol. Both electrophoretic techniques give characteristic and reproducible banding patterns and achieve a high degree of resolution within the limits of a one-dimensional separation. The major protein bands have been identified, and the merits of the two techniques are compared. Protein denaturation in the absence of 2-mercaptoethanol gives more discrete bands for the purpose of protein identification by maintaining the disulfide-bridge-dependent polypeptide associations characteristic of many serum proteins. However, simultaneous use of both electrophoretic techniques enhances identification by exploiting the response of an individual protein to mercaptoethanol treatment. The clinical potential of this approach for detecting protein disorders is discussed.

Starch Gel

1. The electrophoretic properties of rat posterior pituitary proteins have been compared on starch gel with those of bovine and porcine neurophysins. 2. [35S]-Cysteine was injected into the supraoptic nucleus of male rats and 16–24h later the distribution of labelled neural-lobe protein in starch and polyacrylamide gels was determined. In both systems a single major protein component was found to contain more than 80% of the total recovered radioactivity. Between 5 and 10% of the radioactivity was found in a minor component in polyacrylamide gel. 3. In agar, microimmuno-diffusion and -electrophoresis of the rat neural-lobe proteins gave a single arc with neurophysin antiserum, and after starch-gel electrophoresis this arc was shown to be due to the major labelled component. 4. The molecular weights of the rat neural-lobe proteins were estimated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The molecular weight of the major labelled component was found to be 12000. 5. It is concluded that the rat neurophysin consists of one major and possibly one minor component.

Epoxide Hydratase

1. A stable, more highly purified, preparation of UDP-glucuronyltransferase was obtained than previously reported. 2. Enzyme activity towards o-aminophenyl and p-nitrophenyl was increased 43- and 46-fold respectively. 3. The final preparation contains only three staining polypeptide bands visible after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 4. The only known major accompanying protein appears to be epoxide hydratase. 5. The purified enzyme activity towards o-aminophenol can still be activated 3 fold by diethylnitrosamine. 6. On evidence from purification, o-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol appear to be glucuronidated by the same enzyme protein. The possible recognition of the UDP-glucuronyltransferase enzyme is discussed.

Gap Junctional

We have modified a method for isolating gap-junctional membrane from mouse hearts [Kensler & Goodenough (1980) J. Cell Biol. 86, 755-764] to isolate gap junctions of comparable purity from rabbit hearts more rapidly, with better yield, and without resort to non-ionic detergents. Purification was monitored by electron microscopy of thin-sectioned membrane pellets and by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Gap junctions were obtained as vesicles whose mean surface area approximated that of junctions in intact myocardial cells. About 10-20% of the vesicles were ferritin-impermeable. Approx. 125 micrograms of membrane protein was obtained per 8 g of rabbit heart. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of purified gap junctions showed five major protein bands of mol.wts. 46 000, 44 000, 33 000, 30 000 and 28 500 that co-purified with the junctions. This protein composition was nearly identical with that published for gap junctions of mouse hearts, and differed markedly from the protein composition of gap junctions from non-excitable cells (lens and liver). The constancy of junctional protein composition between hearts of two different species and its non-identity with that from liver and lens suggest that, although gap-junctional structure in mammalian tissues seems to be remarkably similar by electron-microscopic techniques, junctional-channel protein composition actually varies from tissue to tissue and may be adapted to the permeability requirements of the tissue.

Pyruvatekinase from the hepatopancreas of the common shore crab, Carcinus maenas, was purified to a specific activity of 240 units/mg of protein in the assay conditions described. 2. In one method of purification the enzymic activity could be resolved into two fractions after chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Fructose 1, 6-diphosphate was able to effect the conversion of one form (peak 1) into the second (peak 2). 3. In the presence of a saturating concentration of fructose 1, 6-diphosphate both forms of the enzyme were kinetically similar. 4. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the enzyme 1 day after preparation showed a single protein band. On storage at least three protein bands became visible, all of which were associated with pyruvate kinase activity. 5. Chromatography of the enzyme on Sephadex G-200 indicated a mol.wt. of 247000, but in the presence of fructose 1, 6-diphosphate the elution volume of the enzyme increased corresponding to a mol.wt. of 193000. 6 Dissociation of the enzyme in sodium dodecyl sulphate and 2-mercaptoethanol followed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis produced one major protein band with a mol.wt. of 55000.
