his study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of electrophoresis on SDS- poly acrylamide slap gel and immunostrip techniques for detection of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV, genus Tobamovirus) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV, genus Cucumovirus, family Bromoviridae), compared with symptoms on diagnostic plants for the two viruses. The results obtained showed that the two methods were effective. The analysis of samples of purified CMV, total proteins from infected cucumber plants, and extracts from infected plants with or without chlorophyll, by electrophoresis on 10% polyacrylamide slap gel containing 0.1% SDS showed two bands of 24 and 26 kd in size, and absent in samples of total protein or extracts of healthy plants. These two proteins represent the coat protein (CP) of CMV. In addition, one 18 kd protein band appeared on SDS- polyacrylamide gel profile which represent the CP of TMV, when samples of purified virus, total protein of infected plants, and plant extracts with or without chlorophyll were analyzed. This band was absent in similar samples from healthy plants. The test of immunostrip specific for CMV showed positive reaction with extracts from melon, cucumber, winter squash, and zucchini infected plants. Similarly, a positive reaction with immunostrip specific for TMV appeared with extracts from tobacco, tomato infected with TMV. No reaction was obtained with healthy plants extract. These results were similar to those obtained from indicator plants for the two viruses.

Pure rat intestinal maltase/glucoamylase was partially inactivated in 1% sodium dodecyl sulphage by heating at 40–70 degree C for 5 min at pH 7.5, or by lowering the pH to 5.4–6.6 at 24 degree C. When partially active preparations were electrophoresed in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, a complicated protein band pattern of incompletely dissociated fragments of the enzyme was observed. Complete dissociation of the enzyme in sodium dodecyl sulphate, induced by boiling or by pH values below 5.4, was accompanied by total loss of enzyme activity and simplification of the protein pattern to five major species. Although the original enzyme band was absent from some partially dissociated preparations, enzyme activity was present and was associated with several transient protein bands on the gels. Maltase and alpha-glucosidase activities were detected in these bands, but glucoamylase activity was absent.

Intercellular fluid b proteins from hypersensitive Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi-nc and N. sylvestris Speg. and Comes infected with tobacco mosaic virus were compared by two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Except for missing bands b2, b6a, b6b, and b7b, the overall 2-D electrophoretic pattern of N. sylvestris intercellular fluid proteins was similar to the one observed with 'Xanthi-nc' tobacco. Intercellular proteins were also studied by chromatography on con-canavalin A. Glycoproteins corresponding to b6a and b7a proteins of N. tabacum and the [Formula: see text] analog of N. sylvestris were identified. These proteins are probably peroxidase isozymes, as peroxidase activities with the same electrophoretic mobility were detected after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. No esterase activity was associated with any b protein band in gels. Esterase activities decreased upon virus infection, but accumulation of b proteins and peroxidase activities increased.

An alpha-D-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) and a beta-D-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78), which were secreted into the growth medium when Aspergillus tamarii was cultivated in the presence of galactomannan, were purified by a procedure including chromatography on hydroxyapatite and DEAE-cellulose columns. Each of these enzymes showed a single protein band, corresponding to their respective activities, on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Both enzymes were shown to be glycoproteins containing N-acetylglucosamine, mannose and galactose, with molar proportions of 1:6:1.5 for alpha-D-galactosidase and 1:13:8 for beta-D-mannanase. Mr values as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate and by the electrophoretic method of Hedrick & Smith [(1968) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 126, 155-164] were 56000 and 53000 respectively. The alpha-D-galactosidase differed markedly from the mycelial forms I and II studied in the preceding paper [Civas, Eberhard, Le Dizet & Petek (1984) Biochem. J. 219, 849-855] with regard to both its kinetic and structural properties.

Two galactosyltransferases with nearly identical Mr values were purified 5000-7000-fold from microsomal membranes of chick-embryo livers by using several affinity columns. One enzyme transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to form a β-(1→4)-linkage to GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine) or AsAgAGP [asialo-agalacto-(alpha 1-acid glycoprotein)]. The other enzyme forms a β-(1→3)-linkage to AsOSM [asialo-(ovine submaxillary mucin)]. Both enzymes were solubilized (85%) from a microsomal pellet by using 1% Triton X-100 in 0.1 M-NaCl. The supernatant activities were subjected to DEAE-Sepharose chromatography and four affinity columns: UDP-hexanolamine-Sepharose, alpha-lactalbumin-Sepharose, GlcNAc-Sepharose and either AsAgAGP-Sepharose or AsOSM-Sepharose. The AsAgAGP enzyme [(1→4)-transferase] and the AsOSM enzyme [(1→3)-transferase] behave identically on the DEAE-Sepharose and UDP-hexanolamine-Sepharose columns, and similarly on the alpha-lactalbumin-Sepharose column. Final separation of the two enzymes, however, could only be achieved on affinity columns of their immobilized respective acceptors. Both purified enzymes migrate as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis after silver staining, and both have an apparent Mr of 68 000. The enzymes were radioiodinated and again subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Radioautographic analyses showed only one, intensely radioactive, band. Activity stains performed for both transferases after cellulose acetate electrophoresis indicate that, with this system too, both activities have identical mobilities, and co-migrate, as well, with the major, silver-stained, protein band. Kinetic studies with the purified enzymes show that the Km value for GlcNAc, for the (1→4)-transferase, is 4mM; for the (1→3)-transferase the Km value for AsOSM is 5mM, in terms of GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine) equivalents. Both enzymes have a Km value of 25 microM for UDP-galactose.

Cytochrome P 450

A cytochrome P-450 catalysing 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 was purified from liver mitochondria of untreated rabbits. The enzyme fraction contained 9 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein and showed only one protein band with an apparent Mr of 52,000 upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The preparation showed a single protein spot with an apparent isoelectric point of 7.8 and an Mr of approx. 52,000 upon two-dimensional isoelectric-focusing-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified cytochrome P-450 catalysed 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 up to 5000 times more efficiently than did the mitochondria. The cytochrome P-450 required both ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase for catalytic activity. Microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase could not replace ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. The cytochrome P-450 catalysed, in addition to 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3, the 25-hydroxylation of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 and the 26-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol. The enzyme did not catalyse side-chain cleavage of cholesterol, 11 beta-hydroxylation of deoxycorticosterone, 1 alpha-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, hydroxylations of lauric acid and testosterone or demethylation of benzphetamine. The results raise the possibility that the 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 and the 26-hydroxylation of C27 steroids are catalysed by the same species of cytochrome P-450 in liver mitochondria. The possible role of the liver mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 in the metabolism of vitamin D3 is discussed.

1. A procedure for the purification of the cytoplasmic isoenzyme of aspartate aminotransferase from sheep liver is described. 2. The purified isoenzyme shows a single component in the ultracentrifuge at pH7.6 and forms a single protein band on agar-gel electrophoresis at pH6.3 or 8.6, as well as when stained for protein or activity after polyacrylamide-gel or cellulose acetate electrophoresis at pH8.8. 3. Immunoelectrophoresis on agar gel yields only one precipitin arc associated with the protein band, with rabbit antiserum to the purified isoenzyme. By immunodiffusion, cross-reaction was detected between the cytoplasmic isoenzymes from sheep liver and pig heart, but not between the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial sheep liver isoenzymes. 4. The s20,w of the enzyme is 5.69S and the molecular weight determined by sedimentation equilibrium is 88900; 19313 molecules of oxaloacetate were formed/min per molecule of enzyme at pH7.4 and 25°C. 5. The amino acid composition of the isoenzyme is presented. It has about 790 residues per molecule. 6. The holoenzyme has a maximum of absorption at 362nm at pH7.6 and 25°C. 7. A value of 2.1 was found for the coenzyme/enzyme molar ratio. 8. The purified enzyme revealed two bands of activity on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis at pH7.4 and an extra, faster, band in some circumstances. These bands occurred even when dithiothreitol was present throughout the isolation procedure. 9. Three main bands were obtained by electrofocusing on polyacrylamide plates with pI values 5.75, 5.56 and 5.35. 10. Structural similarities with cytoplasmic isoenzymes from other organs are discussed.

Alpha Galactosidase

Two alpha-D-galactosidases (alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Aspergillus tamarii were purified from the mycelial extract by a procedure including chromatography on hydroxyapatite, DEAE-cellulose and ECTEOLA-cellulose. Each of these enzymes showed a single protein band corresponding to the alpha-D-galactosidase activity when examined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. They catalysed the hydrolysis of o-nitrophenyl alpha-D-galactoside, melibiose, raffinose and stachyose, but did not attack the galactomannans. Their Mr values were respectively 265000 +/- 5000 and 254000 +/- 5000 by the method of Hedrick & Smith [(1968) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 126, 155-164]. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate in each case showed a single protein band, with Mr 88000 and 77500 respectively. The purified enzymes contained carbohydrate, consisting of N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and galactose in the estimated molar proportions of 1:9:5:8 in alpha-galactosidase I.
