Lipase from the hepatopancreas of Tra catfish (Pangasius) was precipitated by ammonium sulfate fractionation, purified by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G- 75. On substrate triolein, purified lipase has Km= 1.381 mM and Vmax= 0.063 mM/min. The lipase was stable at a pH range of 7.0- 9.0 and in temperatures of 35-50°C. At 500C the enzyme loosed 44,7% activity after 120 min. The enzyme was specific for the α- positions (1, 3) of triglyceride. In bile salt solution of 0.015M NaTC, lipase activity of the enzyme increased in 3.08 folds in comparison of sample without NaTC.

A monomeric protein, with a molecular mass of 25 kDa and an N-terminal sequence resembling a segment of chitin synthase, was isolated from the seeds of the black soybean Glycine soja. The protein, designated glysojanin, demonstrated potent antifungal activity against the fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Mycosphaerella arachidicola. It inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with an IC50 of 47 µmol/L, [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation by mouse spleen cells with an IC50 of 175 µmol/L, and translation in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate with an IC50 of 20 µmol/L. Glysojanin was purified using a procedure that involved ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, ion-exchange chromatography by fast protein liquid chromatography on Mono S, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75.Key words: antifungal protein, seeds, soybean, purification.

The binding of six trace metals, Mn(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Fe(III), to human cord serum has been studied by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration at physiological pH, using radioisotopes as tracers. The results are compared with those obtained from adult serum. In both cord and adult sera, extensive amounts of the metals are bound to high molecular weight proteins. Among them, Fe(III) is mostly bound to transferrin; Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) are bound to albumin and other macro-molecules. The binding of Mn(II) either to transferrin or albumin is not resolved. Small fractions of Zn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) and large fractions of Mn(II) and Ni(II) are found to be associated with low molecular weight components of both sera. The distribution varies from metal to metal. However, the low molecular weight component of the size 1500 – 10 000 is present in all the metals studied. Further purification of this component was attempted by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. The possible identity as well as the biological role played by this particular component of serum in the transport of metals in blood and across membranes is discussed.

SUMMARYSalivary and pancreatic lipases of the pre-ruminant calf have been studied using ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. In addition, pancreatic lipase has been fractionated using concanavalin A-affinity chromatography. The effects of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), organic solvents and trypsin on pancreatic lipase have also been investigated. The effect of taurodeoxycholate on the lipolytic activity of the 2 lipases has been compared. Salivary lipase behaved as a single enzyme on ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration gave a mol. wt value of 52000 for the enzyme. Although pancreatic lipase appeared to be a single enzyme on gel filtration, with a mol. wt of almost 80000, the lipase was shown by ion-exchange and affinity chromatography to consist of at least 2 enzymes of mol. wts 72000 and 60000, and did not require colipase for maximum activity in the presence of high concentrations of bile salts. Colipase-dependent lipase, mol. wt about 45000, and probably amounting to not more than 10% of the total activity, was also present. This was the predominant form only after large losses in total lipolytic activity had occurred, as after treatment with a mixture of ether, ethanol and deoxycholate, or prolonged action of trypsin. When the concentration of taurodeoxycholate was increased from zero to 1 mM in a tributyrin substrate, the lipolytic activites of calf salivary and pancreatic lipases, and pig pancreatic lipase, increased. At a concentration of 4 mM-taurodeoxycholate, calf salivary lipase activity was higher, that of calf pancreatic lipase slightly lower and pig pancreatic lipase activity markedly lower.

Trypsin Inhibitory Activity

A purification protocol that comprised ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, ion exchange chromatography on SP-Sepharose, and gel filtration by FPLC on Superdex 75 was complied to isolate two trypsin inhibitors fromPhaseolus vulgariscv “White Cloud Bean”. Both trypsin inhibitors exhibited a molecular mass of 16 kDa and reduced the activity of trypsin with an value of about 0.6 M. Dithiothreitol attenuated the trypsin inhibitory activity, signifying that an intact disulfide bond is indispensable to the activity. [Methyl-] thymidine incorporation by leukemia L1210 cells was inhibited with an value of 28.8 M and 21.5 M, respectively. They were lacking in activity toward lymphoma MBL2 cells and inhibitory effect on HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and fungal growth when tested up to 100 M.

According to our previous results, S-type bacteriocins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are characterized by high activity against phytopathogenic Pseudomonas syringae strains. In addition to these pyocins producing strains are able to synthesize microcin-II-like bacteriocins. Presence of interaction between these two killer factors can determine methods of their use and activity increase of bacteriocins with antiphytopathogenic properties. The aim of the work was to test possibility of interaction between S-type pyocins and microcin-II-like bacteriocins of P. aeruginosa. Methods. The objects of the study were pyocins produced by 6 P. aeruginosa strains. Killer factors in composition of induced lysates were concentrated by 70% ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialyzed through dialysis membrane with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) 3.5 kDa. Then ion-exchange chromatography with DEAE-cellulose, gel filtration with Sephadex G-75 and ultracentrifugation at 215.000 g for 1 and 4 hours were used for their separation. Protein concentration and antimicrobial activity were determined in obtained fractions. Visualization of proteins in active fraction composition was conducted by electrophoresis according to the Laemmli method. Results. Under ion-exchange chromatography with DEAE-cellulose application elution of bacteriocins available in lysate composition occurs simultaneously. The highest indices of activity and protein concentration were in the 4th fraction, containing two protein bands with molecular weight near 58 and 9 kDa, which are typical for S5 pyocin and microcin-II-like bacteriocins of P. aeruginosa. Further gel filtration of sampled fractions through Sephadex G-75 allowed to separate noted killer factors and obtaine purified fraction containing microcin-II-like pyocins only. Application of ultracentrifugation during 1 hour didn’t precipitate studied bacteriocins, whereas during 4 hours – lead to their separation. At the same time a twofold increase of activity indices for S-type pyocins in precipitates and for microcin-IIlike killer factors – in supernatants were observed. However achieved concentration was characterized by short-term effect, since in 14 days activity of supernatants decreased by 4–16 times, and for precipitates – by 80–640 times. Then revealed tendency for activity decrease continued. Conclusions. S-type pyocins and microcin-II-like bacteriocins of P. aeruginosa interact with each other, that ensures their stabilization and protects again destruction. Application of methods that cause separation of these killer factors is inexpedient, since it results into considerable decrease of bacteriocin activity indices.

SummaryA procedure is described for partial purification of an inhibitor of the activation of plasminogen by urokinase and streptokinase. The method involves specific adsorption of contammants, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and preparative electrophoresis. The inhibitor fraction contained no antiplasmin, no plasminogen, no α1-antitrypsin, no antithrombin-III and was shown not to be α2 M or inter-α-inhibitor. It contained traces of prothrombin and cerulo-plasmin. An antiserum against the inhibitor fraction capable of neutralising the inhibitor in serum was raised in rabbits.

Two isoenzymes of NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase have been identified in Acinetobacter lwoffi and have been termed isoenzyme-I and isoenzyme-II. The isoenzymes may be separated by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, or by zonal ultracentrifugation in a sucrose gradient. Low concentrations of glyoxylate or pyruvate effect considerable stimulation of the activity of isoenzyme-II. The isoenzymes also differ in pH-dependence of activity, kinetic parameters, stability to heat or urea and molecular size. Whereas isoenzyme-I resembles the NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases from other organisms in having a molecular weight under 100000, isoenzyme-II is a much larger enzyme (molecular weight around 300000) resembling the NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases of higher organisms.

Abstract A group of substances of molecular masses between 300 and 1500 Da have been found to be toxic metabolites in patients with uremia. We determined the concentration in serum of these molecules in the following groups of patients: two hemodialyzed groups (one with cuprophane and the other with polyacrylonitrile dialyzers), one group treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, one group of nondialyzed azotemic patients, and one control group of healthy persons. Ultrafiltrates of the subjects' sera were fractionated on Sephadex G-15 followed by ion-exchange chromatography. Eluates were monitored by absorbance at 254 and 206 nm. Partially characterized peaks P1 and P2, obtained by gel filtration, correlated with the concentration of creatinine in serum; their concentrations were significantly (P less than 0.01) larger in hemodialyzed groups than in peritoneal dialyzed or in nondialyzed azotemic patients. After ion-exchange chromatography, two peaks (P'5 and P'6) correlated with serum creatinine and also were larger in hemodialyzed patients than in the other groups. Apparently, adequate discrimination is obtained by gel-filtration analysis and further analysis by ion-exchange chromatography does not provide additional information in most of the affected patients.

The most effective and acceptable therapy for snakebite victims is the immediate administration of antivenin which is limited by problems of hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals and its inability to resolve the local effects of the venom. The aim of this study was to isolate, partially purify and characterize phospholipase A2 from Naja Katiensis venom. Phospholipase A2 was partially purified via a two-step process: gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and ion exchange chromatography using CM Sephadex, and subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis. From the results, the specific activity of the partially purified PLA2 decreased from 0.67μmol/min/mg in crude venom to 0.29μmol/min/mg after ion exchange chromatography with a yield of 5% and purification fold of 0.43. The optimum temperature of the purified PLA2 was found to be 35ºC and optimum p.H of 7. velocity studies for the determination of kinetic constants using L-a-lecithin as substrate revealed a Km  of 1.47mg/ml and Vmax  of 3.32μ moles/min/mg. The sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified PLA2 showed a distinct band with molecular weight estimated to be 14KDa. In conclusion, the present study shows that phospholipase A2 was isolated, purified and characterized. This may serve as a promising candidate for future development of a novel anti-venin drug.
