The present study was undertaken to isolate gastrin peptide from the antral tissue of broiler chicken. The chicken antrums, i.e. tissue pieces from a narrow zone at gizzard – duodenal junction were collected, boiled in distilled water, followed by centrifugation at 0° C. The supernatant was collected, added to isopropanol and stirred overnight. After addition of dichloromethane, the aqueous phase was partitioned, aspirated and lyophilized. The electrophoretic analysis (SDS-PAGE) of the antral sample was carried out after running it along with a reference protein marker. Characterization of the antral extract revealed a total of eleven peptide bands having relative molecular weights (Mr) ranging from 4.6 to114.5 kDa, out of which peptides having Mr of 22.6 and 26.3 kDa were major ones. The protein or peptide band showing the lowest relative molecular weight (Mr, 4.6 kDa) was identified as the gastrin.

Collagen was documented as a difficult and expensive protein to quantify due to its insoluble. It is particularly since solubility is a key functional property in a variety of applications such as healthcare and cosmetic products. The main aim of this study was to extract the collagens from the skins of commercial freshwater fish such as red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and pangasius (Pangasius pangasius) together with characteristics defined for each type of collagen extraction. The extracted collagens were determined in their molecular weights by using SDS-PAGE and the structure of it was observed under SEM. The obtained molecular weight of all three commercial fish collagens is approximately >80kDa. The characteristics of each type of collagen were then defined by using appropriate analysis through this research.

N-Acetylneuraminate lyase produced by Escherichia coli was purified and crystallized from a genetically engineered strain (E. coli SF8/pNAL1). The enzyme showed apparent molecular masses of 105,000 Da on gel filtration and 35,000 Da on SDS/PAGE, suggesting that the enzyme is a trimer. The apparent optimum pH and temperature were found to be 6.5-7.0 and 80 degrees C respectively. The Km values for N-acetylneuraminate and N-glycollylneuraminate were 3.3 and 3.3 mM respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by reduction with NaBH4 in the presence of the substrate, indicating that the enzyme belongs to the Schiff-base-forming Class I aldolases. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ ions, p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-bromosuccinimide, and also inhibited competitively by the reaction product, pyruvate, and its structurally related compounds, dihydroxyacetone and DL-glyceraldehyde.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to characterize polypeptide components of the capture net spun by trichopteran larvae Hydropsyche slossonae (Banks) (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae). Thirty-one polypeptide bands were identified by SDS – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) from extracted net material, with molecular weights ranging from 8500 to 179 000. Comparison with published data on Bombyx mori (L.) (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) silk, treated under similar denaturing conditions, shows that six low molecular weight polypeptides ranging between 8500 and 18 800 in the silk of H. slossonae are absent from that of B. mori; furthermore, two high molecular weight polypeptides (210 000 and 220 000) detected in the silk of B. mori are not present in that of H. slossonae. Differences between both groups are probably related to their mode of living and to the specific use of silk (in air versus under water). Our findings are consistent with the current trend in the literature that silk spun by aquatic and terrestrial insects, as well as those spun by different species, is apparently made of different biopolymers according to the protein constituents. Hence, the polypeptide characterization of silk, combined with sequence data and (or) antibodies cross-reactivity data, could represent a potential tool for taxonomic classification improvement of aquatic insects. These results could eventually be used to characterize hydropsychid capture net anomalies induced by environmental pollution.

α-Crystallin was isolated from calf lens periphery by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration. Three distinct populations of macromolecules have been isolated with molecular weights in the ranges approx. 6×105−9×105, 0.9×106−4×106and greater than 10×106. The concentration of macromolecules at the molecular-weight limits of a population are very low. The members of the different populations do not appear to be in equilibrium with each other. Further, in those molecular-weight fractions investigated, no equilibrium between members of the same population was observed. The population of lowest molecular weight comprises 65–75% of the total material. The amino acid and subunit composition of the different-sized fractions appear very similar, if not identical. The only chemical difference observed between the fractions is the presence of significant amounts of sugar in the higher-molecular-weight fractions. Subunit molecular weights of approx. 19.5×103and 22.5×103were observed for all α-crystallin fractions.

A new monoclonal antibody (moab BW 200) of IgG3 kappa-isotype was generated which recognizes an epitope located on an antigen molecule restricted to human neoplastic and non-neoplastic endothelial cells. The molecular weight of the antigen was determined using immunoprecipitation analysis followed by SDS-PAGE. Despite its similar molecular weight to FVIII-RAG, the antigen detected by moab BW 200 was shown to be different from FVIII-RAG.

ABSTRACT Streptomyces exfoliatus F3-2 produced an extracellular enzyme that converted levan, a β-2,6-linked fructan, into levanbiose. The enzyme was purified 50-fold from culture supernatant to give a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weights of this enzyme were 54,000 by SDS-PAGE and 60,000 by gel filtration, suggesting the monomeric structure of the enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 4.7. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme for levan degradation were pH 5.5 and 60°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 3.5 to 8.0 and also up to 50°C. The enzyme gave levanbiose as a major degradation product from levan in an exo-acting manner. It was also found that this enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of such fructooligosaccharides as 1-kestose, nystose, and 1-fructosylnystose by liberating fructose. Thus, this enzyme appeared to hydrolyze not only β-2,6-linkage of levan, but also β-2,1-linkage of fructooligosaccharides. From these data, the enzyme from S. exfoliatus F3-2 was identified as a novel 2,6-β-d-fructan 6-levanbiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.64 ).

ABSTRACT 1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (ectoine) is an excellent osmoprotectant. The biosynthetic pathway of ectoine from aspartic β-semialdehyde (ASA), in Halomonas elongata, was elucidated by purification and characterization of each enzyme involved. 2,4-Diaminobutyrate (DABA) aminotransferase catalyzed reversively the first step of the pathway, conversion of ASA to DABA by transamination with l-glutamate. This enzyme required pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and potassium ions for its activity and stability. The gel filtration estimated an apparent molecular mass of 260 kDa, whereas molecular mass measured by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was 44 kDa. This enzyme exhibited an optimum pH of 8.6 and an optimum temperature of 25°C and had Km s of 9.1 mM forl-glutamate and 4.5 mM for dl-ASA. DABA acetyltransferase catalyzed acetylation of DABA to γ-N-acetyl-α,γ-diaminobutyric acid (ADABA) with acetyl coenzyme A and exhibited an optimum pH of 8.2 and an optimum temperature of 20°C in the presence of 0.4 M NaCl. The molecular mass was 45 kDa by gel filtration. Ectoine synthase catalyzed circularization of ADABA to ectoine and exhibited an optimum pH of 8.5 to 9.0 and an optimum temperature of 15°C in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl. This enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 19 kDa by SDS-PAGE and a Km of 8.4 mM in the presence of 0.77 M NaCl. DABA acetyltransferase and ectoine synthase were stabilized in the presence of NaCl (>2 M) and DABA (100 mM) at temperatures below 30°C.

Pig liver ferrochelatase was purified 465-fold with about 30% yield, to apparent homogeneity, by a procedure involving solubilization from mitochondria, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. The fraction of each purification step had cobaltochelatase as well as ferrochelatase activity. A purified protein of molecular weight 40 000 was found by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. A molecular weight of approximately 240 000 was obtained by Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. Both activities of the purified fraction increased linearly with time until 2 h. but nonlinear plots were obtained with increasing concentrations of protein. Their optimum pH values were similar. Km values were, for ferrochelatase activity, 23.3 μM for the metal and 30.3 μM for mesoporphyrin. and for cobaltochelatase activity. 27 and 45.5 μM, respectively. Fe2+ and Co2+ each protected against inactivation by heat. Pb2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, or Hg2+ inhibited both activities, while Mn2+ slightly activated; Mg2+ had no effect, at the concentrations tested. There appeared to be an involvement of sulfhydryl groups in metal insertion. Lipids, in correlation with their degree of unsaturation, activated both purified activities; phospholipids also had activation effects. We conclude that a single protein catalyzes the insertion of Fe2+ or Co2+ into mesoporphyrin.
