This study was aimed to purify, characteristic, and fibrinolytic activity of staphylokinase (SAK), is an enzyme activates plasminogen to form plasmin, which digest fibrin clots that cause thrombosis clot. Staphylokinase was purified from local isolate Staphylococcus aureus GH38 by ammonium sulfate precipitation at 70% saturation followed by ion exchange chromatography (CM-Cellulose) with a purification fold 2.73, and 1.53, and recovery 72.1, and 33.11% in wash and elution steps respectively. The partially purified enzyme was high activity at 40°C with pH 7 and the enzyme retained 100% of its activity at 35°C with pH 7. The activity of an enzyme increased by its treatment with calcium and sodium chloride, while the activity affected when incubated with mercury, silver, and iron chloride. The enzyme have high effective against thrombus (blood clot), which encourage the use of enzyme in the treatment as therapeutic agent to remove clots formed in the human body.

Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the cervix of an infertile woman was found to cause complete immobilization of human spermatozoa in vitro. Only the cell culture and cell-free supernatant showed immobilization activity, indicating that the sperm immobilization factor might be released extracellularly by the organism because no activity was observed with the washed cells. Heat treatment of the supernatant at 60 °C for 10 min waived its immobilizing activity, indicating that the active component may be a protein. The bioactive molecule from the supernatant was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel permeation chromatography, and ion exchange chromatography. Sperm immobilization factor (SIF) was found to be an ~20 kDa protein. SIF at a concentration of 10 µg/mL was required to cause 100% immobilization of human spermatozoa after 30 min of incubation at 37 °C, whereas a concentration of 150 µg/mL caused immediate immobilization, and a concentration of 200 µg/mL resulted in instant loss of viability of human spermatozoa, observed by eosin–nigrosin staining. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the treatment of human spermatozoa with SIF caused multiple defects in the head, midpiece, neck, and tail region of human spermatozoa.

Lactose and chloride are partially separated from deproteinated salted whey (D.S.W.) by gel filtration. Approximately 24.1% of chloride was removed and 8.9% lactose was recovered from 3 ml of D.S.W. with a 10 g column of Sephadex G-10. On the other hand, 77.6% of chloride was removed and 74.5% lactose was recovered from 3 ml of D.S.W. with three continuous 10 g columns of Sephadax G-10. Ion exchange chromatography removed 92.1% and 99.1% of the chloride content of D.S.W. by using a single and double pass system, respectively.

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.

Proteins often generate structure isoforms naturally or artificially due to, for example, different glycosylation, disulfide scrambling, partial structure rearrangement, oligomer formation or chemical modification. The isoform formations are normally accompanied by alterations in charged state or hydrophobicity. Thus, isoforms can be fractionated by reverse-phase, hydrophobic interaction or ion exchange chromatography. We have applied mixed-mode chromatography for fractionation of isoforms for several model proteins and observed that cation exchange Capto MMC and anion exchange Capto adhere columns are effective in separating conformational isoforms and self-associated oligomers.
