Main Components

In the present study the precipitation of casein from the various milk samples such as cow milk, goat milk were studied. The technique of precipitation of casein is used to predict the protein content in the milk samples. It was found that the main components of casein have genetic variants that differ in several amino acid residues. These proteins have a molecular weight of about 20 thousand, an isoelectric point of about 4.7, contain an increased amount of proline (the polypeptide chain has a b-structure) and are resistant to denaturants.

A spectrophotometric study was made of the interaction, in alkaline solution, of copper(II) with ovalbumin and several ligands of low molecular weight at several different atomic ratios of nitrogen/copper. The results indicate that the absorbance and chemical reactivity of the ovalbumin-copper(II) complex cannot be attributed to the presence of one particular chelate structure. It is suggested that the ovalbumin-copper(II) complex is a heterogeneous mixture of chelate structures in which the copper(II) is bonded to oxygen (in the enolate form) and nitrogen atoms in the several different combinations possible within the same polypeptide chain. It is also suggested that the actual arrangement of bonds in any one chelate structure is probably determined by both the nature of the amino acid residues and the configuration of the ovalbumin molecule in the immediate vicinity.

Cyanogen bromide fragment CB5 represents the region of the polypeptide chain of hemopexin between the fourth and fifth methionine residue (residues 232-352). It contains 120 amino acid residues in the following sequence: Arg-Cys-Ser-Pro-His-Leu-Val-Leu-Ser-Ala-Leu-Thr-Ser-Asp-Asn-His-Gly-Ala-Thr-Tyr-Ala-Phe-Ser-Gly-Thr-His-Tyr-Trp-Arg-Leu-Asp-Thr-Ser-Arg-Asp-Gly-Trp-His-Ser-Trp-Pro-Ile-Ala-His-Gln-Trp-Pro-Gln-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ala-Val-Asp-Ala-Ala-Phe-Ser-Trp-Glu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Tyr-Leu-Val-Gln-Gly-Thr-Gln-Val-Tyr-Val-Phe-Leu-Thr-Lys-Gly-Gly-Tyr-Thr-Leu-Val-Ser-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Arg-Leu-Glu-Lys-Glu-Val-Gly-Thr-Pro-His-Gly-Ile-Ile-Leu-Asp-Ser-Val-Asp-Ala-Ala-Phe-Ile-Cys-Pro-Gly-Ser-Ser-Arg-Leu-His-Ile-Met. The sequence was derived from the data on peptides prepared by cleavage of fragment CB5 by mild acid hydrolysis, by trypsin and chymotrypsin.

Pigment Formation

The coupled oxidation of leghaemoglobins with O2 and ascorbate yielded oxyleghaemoglobin in the first reaction step, and the second step was the degradation of haem characterized by an A675 increase. Leghaemoglobins were degraded to biliverdin isomers specifically, depending on the structure of the protein. The main leghaemoglobin components of Glycine (soya bean) and Phaseolus (kidney bean) were degraded to biliverdin mixtures containing about 50% of the β-form, about 30% of the α-form and about 20% of the δ-isomer, whereas the leghaemoglobin I components of Vicia (broad bean) and Pisum (pea) were degraded almost exclusively to the β-isomer, with traces of the α-isomer. The amino acid sequences of Glycine and Phaseolus leghaemoglobins resemble each other, as do those of Vicia and Pisum. The site specificity of bile-pigment formation from leghaemoglobins can be tentatively explained by specific differences in the amino acid sequences at those regions of the polypeptide chain that are in the vicinity of the appropriate methine bridges. The ligand-binding site in different leghaemoglobins may be outlined on the basis of the present results, supposing that the haem is degraded when a reduction product of haem-bound O2 reacts with a methine bridge of the haem, and that the bridge specificity is regulated by hindering amino acid residues that determine the location of the bound O2. The residue phenylalanine-CD1 appears to be further away from the haem plane or in a markedly more flexible position in leghaemoglobins than in mammalian globins. The haem-bound oxygen atom B, in Fe–O(A)–O(B), seems to be free to rotate in all directions except that of the γ-bridge in Glycine and Phaseolus leghaemoglobins, but its position in Vicia and Pisum leghaemoglobin I might be restricted to the direction of the β-methine bridge.

The aim of this study was to compare Bacillus cereus growth rates and diarrhoeal enterotoxin production in raw and pasteurized goat, sheep, and cow milk in terms of storage conditions. Milk samples were inoculated with B. cereus (CCM 2010), which produces diarrhoeal enterotoxins. Enterotoxin production was tested by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), and the count of B. cereus was determined by the plate method. With raw cow milk, B. cereus growth and enterotoxin production can be completely suppressed; in raw goat and sheep milk, enterotoxin was produced at 22 °C. In pasteurized cow, goat, and sheep milk, the B. cereus count increased under all storage conditions, with more rapid growth being observed at 15 °C (sheep milk) and 22 °C (cow and goat milk). Enterotoxin presence was detected at 15 °C and 22 °C, and with pasteurized cow milk also at 8 °C. Our model experiments have determined that B. cereus multiplication and subsequent enterotoxin production depend on storage temperature and milk type.

Red Radiation

The models on view in the ante-room show a way of folding a polypeptide chain which is consistent with some observations we have recently made with polarized infra-red radiation (Ambrose & Hanby 1949; Ambrose, Elliott & Temple 1949). The α -folded proteins, keratin, myosin and tropomyosin, have been found when oriented to show greater absorption of the N-H frequency when the electric vector of the absorbed radiation is in the direction of the fibre axis, hence the N-H bond must be preferentially oriented in this direction. A study of models has suggested that the only likely folding of the polypeptide chain consistent with this fact involves a seven-membered ring containing two amino-acid residues; the ring is completed by hydrogen bonds: A new type of atomic model which has been developed in our laboratories has been used. The scale is 0·8 in. to the Angstrom unit. The valency links, while allowing free rotation about single co-valent bonds, also allow some distortion of the bond angles when strains occur but are strong enough to allow long polymer chains to be built. The molecular model exhibited shows twenty-four amino-acid residues, with side chains on one side of the back-bone, representative of those occurring in myosin; the side chains on the other side have been removed for clearness and their positions indicated by single carbon atoms.

SummaryWhen κ-casein from buffalo's milk was treated with carboxypeptidase A (EC 3. 4. 2. 1),4 amino acids, valine, threonine, serine and alanine were released from the protein in a manner consistent with the view that they originate in the C-terminal sequence of a single peptide chain. The amounts produced suggest a minimum molecular weight for buffalo κ-casein of approximately 17000, in agreement with the value calculated from the phosphorous content on the basis of the presence of 2 phosphorus atoms/molecule. A comparison is made with the C-terminal sequence reported for bovine κ-casein.

Anthocidaris Crassispina

Gel-filtration analysis of cytosol fraction obtained from unfertilized sea-urchin (Anthocidaris crassispina) eggs on Sephadex G-75 revealed the presence of two Zn-binding-protein fractions. The major Zn-binding protein fraction had a low molecular weight and a low absorbance at 280 nm, properties similar to those of the metallothionein found in the regenerating rat liver. These fractions were further purified by DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-50 chromatography. Homogeneity of the Zn-binding protein was judged by polyacrylamide-disc-gel electrophoresis and gel-permeation chromatography in the presence of 6 M-guanidinium chloride. The molecular weight determined by gel-permeation chromatography was 3900. This value is in good agreement with the minimum molecular weight calculated from the amino acid composition, which was 3655. Zn-binding protein is composed of 36 amino acid residues and the distinctive features include an extremely high content of cysteine, which accounted for one-third of the total amino acid residues, and a complete absence of aromatic amino acids, as well as of methionine, histidine and arginine. Zn-binding protein contained 4.1 g-atoms of zinc per mol and a trace of cadmium, but no copper, iron or calcium. The molar ratio of reactive thiol groups to metal ion was calculated to be 2.73:1. Possible roles of this Zn-binding protein in the homoeostasis of zinc in unfertilized sea-urchin eggs are discussed.

Abstract Some monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against blood group M- related epitope of glycophorin A (GPA) were found to agglutinate rare variant erythrocytes carrying GPA of Mg type. In contradistinction to normal GPA-M or -N, the N-terminal portion of GPA-Mg is not glycosylated. Therefore, the multipin peptide synthesis was used for testing the specificity of the cross-reacting MoAbs. Among several anti- M and anti-N MoAbs tested, only three anti-M (E3, E6, 425/2B) agglutinated Mg erythrocytes and showed binding to the synthetic octapeptides corresponding to N-terminal sequences of GPA-M (SSTTGVAM), GPA-N (LSTTEVAM), and GPA-Mg (LSTNEVAM). Testing multiple peptide analogs (window and replacement analysis) showed that these MoAbs were specific for peptidic epitope in which Met8 and Val6 were the most essential amino acid residues. The amino acid replacements Ser<-->Leu1 or Gly<-->Glu5 (M v N) and Thr<-->Asn4 (M and N v Mg) had no or negligible effect on the reaction of synthetic peptides with the MoAbs. However, when Ser2, Thr3, and Thr4 carry O-linked sialooligosaccharides (normal GPA-M or -N), the MoAbs recognize Gly5- and sialic acid- dependent blood group M-related epitope. An interesting finding concerning anti-M/Mg MoAbs described here is the fact that glycosylation of amino acid residues adjacent to the most important part of peptidic epitope not only differentially modulates the proper exposure of peptidic epitope, but also alters the requirement for some amino acid residues present within the epitope. Pathologic conditions, including hematologic disorders, are often accompanied by alterations in protein glycosylation, resulting not only from differences in the structure of antigen polypeptide chain, but also from changes in specificity or expression of enzymes involved in glycosylation. Our present findings draw attention to possibility of the bidirectional modulation of protein antigenicity by glycosylation and may be helpful in interpretation of some results obtained with MoAb used for diagnostic or other purposes.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas, the main genus of gram-negative microorganisms isolated from milk, is psychrotrophic, biofilm-forming, and thermo-resistant deteriorating enzyme producers. The aim of this study was to quantify Pseudomonas spp. in goat’s and cow’s milk produced in the Paraná state, Brazil, to evaluate the deteriorating activity of the isolates at mesophilic and psychrotrophic conditions and to identify, at the species level, the isolates with alkaline metalloprotease (aprX gene) production potential. Microbiological, biochemical and molecular methods were used for isolating, confirming and identifying of isolates. The mean counts were 1.6 (±6.3)x104 and 0.89(±3)x102 CFU/mL for goat and bovine milk samples, respectively, immediately after milking. Of the Pseudomonas colonies isolated from goat milk (n=60), 91.7% showed proteolytic potential when incubated at 35°C/48 h and 80% at 7°C/10 days, and lipolytic potential was observed in 95% of the isolates incubated in mesophilic and 78.3% at refrigeration conditions. From the isolates of bovine milk (n=20), 35% showed proteolytic activity only when incubated at 35°C/48 h, and lipolytic potential was observed in 25% of the isolates incubated at 7°C/10d and 35°C/48h. It was observed that 83.3% and 25% of the isolates genetically confirmed as Pseudomonas spp. of goat and bovine milk showed the potential for alkaline metalloprotease production, with the species P. azotoformans, P. koreensis, P. gessardii, P. monteilii and P. lurida being the most frequent in goat milk and P. aeruginosa the only species identified in cow milk.
