We determined serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotypes in 193 healthy Koreans. We analysed the apo(a) phenotypes by a simplified sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method and classified apo(a) isoforms objectively using an apo(a) phenotype standard with a known number of kringle IV repeats. The frequency distribution of Lp(a) levels showed marked positive skew with a mean of 0·143 g/L and a median of 0·052 g/L. Of the 193 subjects tested, no bands were detected in three, and single- and double-band phenotypes were observed in 103 and 87, respectively. Among the Koreans, the most frequent phenotype was S5(39·4%), followed by S4S5(17·1%), S5S5(14·0%), S4(11·4%), S3S5(5·2%), and the remaining phenotypes (13·0%). The calculated apo(a) allele frequencies were LpF, 0·003; LpS1, 0·013; LpS2, 0·010; LpS3 0·048; LpS4 0·198; LpS5, 0·563 and Lp0, 0·165. We found that the serum Lp(a) concentration in Koreans was similar to that of Caucasians, but the apo(a) allele size distribution was shifted toward higher 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.

Capnocytophaga ochracea acid (AcP; EC 3.1.3.2) and alkaline (AlP; EC 3.1.3.1) phosphatase was isolated by Ribi cell disruption and purified by sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE.) Both phosphatases eluted from Sephadex G-150 consistent with molecular weights (migration) of 140 000 and 110 000. SDS–PAGE demonstrated a 72 000 and 55 000 subunit molecular migration for AcP and AlP, respectively. The kinetics of activity of purified AcP and AIP on p-nitrophenol phosphate and phosphoseryl residues of the phosphoproteins are presented.

Maltase-glucoamylase, a microvillous membrane ectoenzyme, was solubilized from rat intestinal mucosa by digestion with papain and subsequently purified to homogeneity with an overall yield of 10–20%. An antibody to the purified enzyme formed a single precipitin line in immunodiffusion experiments with an intestinal homogenate. The enzyme was shown to be an acidic glycoprotein (20% sugar by weight) which contained low amounts of cysteine and no sialic acid. At pH3–6, maltase activity was slowly lost, but the enzyme was re-activated by re-adjustment of the pH to neutrality. However, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, acid pH values inactivated maltase irreversibly, and at the same time converted the enzyme (mol.wt. 500000 approx.) into five new species with apparent molecular weights ranging from 134000 to 480000 as judged by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The same five fragments were also formed by boiling the enzyme for brief periods in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate or urea either with or without reducing agents. The dissociated species were stable on re-electrophoresis, and amino acid analysis showed them to be very similar to each other and to the original enzyme. The bands migrated anomalously on polyacrylamide gels of different concentration, thereby preventing the assignment of precise molecular weights. It is possible that the five species may represent stable aggregates of a common monomer of the enzyme.

Lipoprotein lipase and salt-resistant lipase were isolated from human post-heparin plasma. The proteins of human post-plasma lipoprotein lipase and salt-resistant lipase were identified and demonstrated to be immunologically different. Significant differences between the two enzymes in their relative amino acid composition were demonstrated, which indicates that the two enzymes are different proteins. When analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, the enzymes seemed to have monomer molecular weights similar to that of lipoprotein lipase purified from bovine milk.

SummaryPapain treatment of human urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI67; mol. wt. 43,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, specific activity 1,897 U/mg protein) produced four new protease inhibitors, which were highly purified by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and isoelectric focusing. The purified inhibitors (UTI26, UTI9-I, UTI9-II, and UTI9-III) were shown to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, and had apparent molecular weights of 26,000, 9,000, 9,000, and 9,800, respectively, by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. During enzymatic degradation of UTI67, the amino acid compositions changed to more basic, and the isoelectric point increased from pH 2.0 (UTI67) to pHs 4.4, 5.2, 6.6, and 8.3 (UTI26, UTI9-I, UTI9-II, and UTI9-III), respectively. Both the parent and degraded inhibitors had anti-plasmin activity as well as antitrypsin and anti-chymotrypsin activities. Much higher anti-plasmin/anti-trypsin and anti-plasmin/anti-chymotrypsin activities were observed in the degraded inhibitors than in the parent UTI67. They competitively inhibited human plasmin with Ki values of 1.13 X 10-7 - 2.12 X 10-6 M (H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA substrate). The reactions were very fast and the active site of the inhibitors to plasmin was thought to be different from that to trypsin or chymotrypsin.

SUMMARYPlasmodium knowlesi malaria-infected erythrocytes were radio-iodinated and several non-ionic, anionic and zwitterionic detergents were compared in their capacity to extract the labelled membrane proteins. The use of these detergents for antigen identification was tested by immunoprecipitation, after addition of Triton X-100 to some detergent extracts, using hyperimmune monkey antiserum and protein A-Sepharose. 125I-labelled antigens were specifically immunoprecipitated with all detergents tested, including the anionic detergents sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), deoxycholate and cholate; the zwitterions Zwittergent-312 and -314, CHAPS and Empigen BB, as well as several non-ionic detergents. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of 125I-labelled antigens varied after extraction with different detergents, there being no consistent pattern for detergents of a particular class. A total of 14 125I-labelled antigens were identified, 11 of them using Triton X-100. Some minor antigens identified with Triton X-100 were immunoprecipitated in greater amount after extraction in other detergents. Most importantly, two antigens Mr 200000 and 180000 were detected only after extraction with deoxycholate or SDS.

Vaccinia virus particles were dissociated into their constituent polypeptides and analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis. Thirty-three distinct polypeptide bands were identified and their molecular weights ranged between 11 000 and 150 000 daltons.Specific staining of gels containing polypeptides of dissociated virions revealed the presence of eight glycopeptides. No lipopeptides were detected.Analysis of chemical extracts (urea, guanidine hydrochloride, and alkali treatment) of the virus by SDS gel electrophoresis indicated that a total of 10 to 14 different polypeptides ranging in molecular weights from 11 000 to 70 000 daltons were solubilized.Analysis of detergent extracts and of the remains of extracted viral particles has shown that the detergent Nonidet P-40 (NP-40) solubilized a total of 11 polypeptides of which 6 were glycopeptides. The other detergents sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were not as selective, both solubilizing more than 25 of the polypeptides composing the virus. Gel electrophoresis results also indicated that most of the small molecular weight (11 000–70 000 daltons) polypeptides were readily solubilized by NP-40, SDC, and CTAB, while those with molecular weights of 70 000 daltons and higher were not well solubilized.The effects of detergents were also analysed by electron microscopy. Evidence was obtained for subpopulations of viral particles having different susceptibility to detergent extraction.

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.
