Pectinesterase was extracted from potato alpha cultivar, purified and partially characterized The used protocol resulted in a 58.8-fold purification (51 850.2 units/mg protein) with 15.5% recovery of pectinesterase activity. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 27 kDa and its isoelectric point was around 4.5 with pH and temperature optima of 8.0 and 60°C, respectively. The purified enzyme had a single symmetric peak of specific activity after chromatographic steps. The homogeneity of the purified pectinesterase was confirmed by gel filtration and polyacrylamide electrophoresis gel.

Lipase from the hepatopancreas of Tra (Pangasius) catfish was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by ion-exhange chromatography on DEAE Cellulose and gel filtration Sephadex G-75. The preparation was homogeneous on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 37.95 times higher than that of the crude extract. The enzyme showed a molecular weight of 57000 Da. The pH and temperature optima of purified lipase were 8 and 500C respectively. Enzyme activity was enhanced by Ca2+ but inhibited by heavy metals Zn2+, Cd2+, Mg2+.

Platelet aggregation activity due to platelet-activating factor (PAF) was detected at high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight fractions after gel-filtration chromatography of cell lysate of endothelial cells. [3H]PAF added to the cell lysate was similarly distributed after chromatography. The radioactivity associated with HMW fraction was not reduced by digesting the lysate with trypsin, suggesting that PAF was not making complexes with proteins but was included in lipid vesicles in cell lysate. Further evidence showed that an unknown specific factor(s) was needed to form these PAF-containing lipid vesicles. Radioactivity was not found in HMW fraction when [3H]PAF was mixed with cell lysate of vascular smooth muscle cells. When monomeric PAF was added to endothelial cell lysate, the specific activity of aggregation decreased to the level exerted by endogenous PAF-containing lipid vesicles due to incorporation into lipid vesicles. PAF in the form of lipid vesicles was more stable in plasma than monomeric form.

We have developed an extraction procedure that improves the stability of potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber hexokinase (HK) after extraction. Using this protocol, we showed that at least four HK isoforms are present in this tissue, and they can be separated by hydrophobic-interaction chromatography on a butyl-Sepharose™ 4 Fast Flow column. One of the main HK isoforms was purified to homogeneity using further chromatographic separations on red dye, DEAE Fractogel, hydroxyapatite, cibacron blue, and MonoQ matrices. HK-specific activity of this fraction (10.2 U·mg protein–1) corresponds to an enrichment of more than 5500-fold, with a yield of 0.9%. This is the highest reported HK-specific activity from a plant source. The purified enzyme consisted of a monomer with a subunit apparent Mr of 51 kDa when analyzed by SDS–PAGE. This polypeptide was recognized by affinity-purified anti- Solanum chacoense Bitt. recombinant HK IgGs. The protein was digested with trypsin and its digestion products were subjected to MS – MS sequencing after HPLC separation. The sequences of these tryptic peptides matched the predicted coding sequence of the S. tuberosum HK1 gene with a coverage of 57%. Examination of the kinetic properties of the purified protein HK1 indicates that it may be regulated by the internal O2 concentration of the tuber because of its sensitivity to acidic pHs and inhibition by ADP.

Pepsin Inhibitor

A method has been described for the isolation and crystallization of swine pepsin inhibitor from swine pepsinogen. Solubility experiments and fractional recrystallization show no drift in specific activity. The reversible combination of pepsin with the inhibitor was found to obey the mass law. The inhibitor is quite specific, failing to act on other proteolytic and milk clotting enzymes. The inhibitor is destroyed by pepsin at pH 3.5. Chemical and physical studies indicate that the inhibitor is a polypeptide of approximately 5,000 molecular weight with an isoelectric point at pH 3.7. It contains arginine, tyrosine, but no tryptophane and has basic groups in its structure.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from potato was determined. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues, of molecular weight 10332. The sequence was determined by using a Beckman 890c sequencer and by dansyl–Edman analysis of peptides derived from purified CNBr fragments. The sequence shows considerable similarity with that of Chlorella fusca, and also with the C-terminal region of bacterial azurins.

It has been determined that the bag cells of Aplysia californica produce two polypeptide species that comigrate on electrophoretic gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate. By this separation procedure both species can be assigned a molecular weight of approximately 6,000. One of these molecules has an Rf of 0.65 on alkaline discontinuous electrophoresis gels, an isoelectric point at pH 4.8, a gel filtration molecular weight of approximately 12,000, and has no known biological function. The other does not enter alkaline disk gels, has an isoelectric point at approximately pH 9.3, shows a gel filtration molecular weight consistent with that determined by SDS gel electrophoresis, and is the egg-laying hormone.

This study was done to partially purification of  topoisomerase IB from serum of diabetic patients using Gel filtration technique, by using Sephadex G 100 gel. A single peak in fraction four has been obtained, and the degree of purification (17.1) fold, enzyme yield (108.2%) and specific activity (0.189ng/mg). Kinetics studies for the partial purified enzyme were carried out which showed optimal concentration of  substrate which was (0.1ng/ml), Michael's - Menten constant (Km=0.033ng) and maximum velocity (Vmax=0.90 ng/ml), while optimum Temperature was (37C°) and optimum pH was (7.5). The molecular weight of the partial purified enzyme has been determined by gel electrophoresis method, in presence of polyacrylamide  gel and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS-PAGE) which showed that the approximated molecular weight was (66KD).   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.23.2018.168

Peroxidase was extracted from leaves of oil palm tree with 0.01M phosphate buffer pH 7.0. It was partially purified using 70% ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) precipitation. This resulted in peroxidase with activity of (26U/ml) and specific activity of 35.8U/mg. Effect of heat on the activity of peroxidase was studied at temperature of 323-363°K. After gel filtration on sephadex G100, the peroxidase activity increased to 27U/ml, with specific activity of 55U/mg .The overall purification fold was 4 with 51.9% enzyme recovery. The peroxidase partially purified from leaves of oil palm tree showed pH and temperature optima of 5.0 and 50°C respectively. High pH and temperature stabilities of pH 5.0 to pH 9.0 and 50°C to 70°C were obtained respectively. Also, the activation energy (Ea) of the reaction was - 21.616kj/mol. The free energy changes (ΔG) were 96008.64, 96315.59, 97901.63, 94132.33 and 97146.75kj/mol at 323,333,343,353 and 363°K respectively. It was observed that the D-values were decreasing with increasing temperature with a Z-value of 0.044. The enthalpy results suggest that the reaction was exothermic, non-spontaneous and reversible.

Abstract Chlorobium phaeobacteroides contains two soluble basic c-type cytochromes, a flavocytochrome c-552 and a small cytochrome c-555. Both electron transfer proteins were highly purified by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The flavocytochrome c-552 exhibits maxima at 552 nm, 523 nm and 416 nm in the reduced state and at 409.5 nm with two shoulders at 440 nm and 480 nm in the oxidized form. The best purity index (A280/A416)obtained was 0.65. The molecular properties of this flavocytochrome are as follows: isoelectric point, pH 9.5 - 10; redox potential, +63 mV; molecular weight, 56,000. Cytochrome c-555 is a small basic hemoprotein with an isoelectric point of pH 9.5 - 10, a molecular weight of 9,500 and a midpoint redox potential of +105 mV. The best purity index {A280/A418) obtained was 0.176. The oxidized form of this cytochrome has a maximum at 411.5 nm, while the reduced state shows three maxima (α-band at 554.5 nm; β-band at 523 nm, and γ-band at 418 nm). The a-band is asymmetrical with a typical shoulder at 551 nm.
