Purification by affinity chromatography of yeast glutathione reductase, the enzyme responsible for the NADPH-dependent reduction of the mixed disulfide of coenzyme A and glutathione.

Glutathione reductase (NAD(P)H : oxidised-glutathione oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.4.2) was purified from baker's yeast by a new procedure involving affinity chromatography on 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B. The yield was 65% of essentially homogeneous enzyme. The activity was assayed with both glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and the mixed disulfide of coenzyme A and glutathione (CoAssg). The two disulfide substrates gave coinciding activity profiles and a constant ratio of the activities in different chromatographic and electrophoretic systems. No evidence was obtained for the existence of a reductase specific for CoASSG distinct from glutathione reductase. It is concluded that normal baker's yeast contains a single reductase active with both GSSG and CoASSG.

Purification by affinity chromatography and some properties of microsomal galactosyltransferase from pig thyroid.

Membrane-bound 4-beta-galactosyltransferase (lactose synthase; UDP galactose: D-glucose 4-beta-galactosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.22) was purified 1500-fold to near homogeneity from pig thyroid microsomes with about 30% yield. The purified enzyme behaved as a lipophilic protein, rapidly losing activity and aggregating if not supplemented with either Triton X-100 or serum albumin (both of these were equally effective for long-term stabilization). The enzyme preparation showed an absolute requirement for Mn2+, which could not be replaced by other cations. Catalytic properties were very similar to those reported for soluble forms of the enzyme in biological fluids. The purified galactosyltransferase showed a major protein band of approx. 74,000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. On gel filtration, enzyme activity was eluted at approx. 70,000 daltons. It is concluded that the membrane-bound thyroid galactosyltransferase is a monomeric protein significantly larger than the soluble forms of this enzyme described earlier; but it resembles recently reported galactosyltransferases from sheep mammary Golgi membranes and liver microsomes.

Purification by affinity chromatography using amastatin and properties of aminopeptidase A from pig kidney.

1. Amastatin, a specific inhibitor of aminopeptidase A (L-alpha-aspartyl(L-alpha-glutamyl)-peptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.11.7), was linked to an agarose matrix and by this affinity chromatography aminopeptidase A of pig kidneys was purified as a single protein shown by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. 2. Aminopeptidase A which was purified 710-fold, hydrolyzed only acidic amino acid beta-naphthylamide. The optimum pH and the optimum temperature was 7.5 and 45-50 degrees C, respectively. 3. The molecular weight was approx. 300 000 as determined by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. 4. The activity of aminopeptidase A was not affected by sulfhydryl agents, S-S dissociating agents and serine proteinase inhibitor, but was inhibited strongly by metal chelating agents, and enhanced by alkaline earth metals. 5. Amastatin inhibited aminopeptidase A in a competitive manner with L-glutamic acid beta-naphthylamide, and the Ki value was calculated to be 2.5 x 10(-7) M. The inhibitory effect of amastatin on aminopeptidase A was not reversed by addition of Ca2+.

Purification by affinity chromatography and properties of uroporphyrinogen I synthetase from Chlorella regularis.

Uroporphyrinogen I synthetase (porphobilinogen ammonia-lyase (polymerizing), EC 4.3.1.8) from Chlorella regularis was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on porphobilinogen-AH-Sepharose 4B, which was prepared by reacting carbodiimide with substrate, porphobilinogen. The enzyme was purified 232-fold from the initial crude extract and specific activity was 348 nmol porphyrinogen I formed (mg protein)-1 . h-1 at pH 7.4. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 35 000-36 000 as determined by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. This enzyme was acidic protein having an isoelectric point of 4.2. The enzyme exhibited a single pH optimum at a pH value of 7.4 both in phosphate and Tris-HCl buffer. The Km value for porphobilinogen was 89 microM as measured by its consumption and 85 microM when uroporphyrin formation was used. The Arrhenius plot obtained from the enzyme activity measurements appeared triphasic with breaks occurring at 35 and 46 degrees C and activation energy was calculated to be 21 700 (10-35 degrees C), 12 700 (35-46 degrees C) and 1800 cal . mol-1 (46-65 degrees C). This enzyme was heat stable and the enzyme still retained 87% of activity, even after 1 h incubation at 75 degrees C.

Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase from baker's yeast: further purification by affinity chromatography with 5' AMP-Sepharose 4B.

A homogeneous preparation of delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (L-proline: NAD (P)+ 5-oxidoreductase, EC 1.5.1.2) was obtained from baker's yeast by an affinity chromatography, using 5' AMP-Sepharose 4B. After the 1st DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography, the enzyme absorbed on 5' AMP-Sepharose column was eluted with 1 mM ATP. The final preparation was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and purified 3500-fold from the crude extract. This purified enzyme was very useful as a coupling enzyme for the assays of ornithine and pyrroline-5-carboxylate in tissues, and for the rate assay of ornithine aminotransferase activity.

Purification by affinity chromatography and characterization of a neutral alpha-glucosidase from horse kidney.

A horse kidney neutral alpha-D-glucosidase (alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.20) was purified about 580-fold with a yield of 33% by an affinity chromatography technique using the p-aminophenyl-beta-D-maltoside, a substrate derivative, as ligand. The purified enzyme, homogeneous in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 280 000 as calculated by gel filtration and its isoelectric focusing points was found to be pH 4.1. The purified enzyme was able to hydrolyze various substrates having (alpha-1,2), (alpha-1,3), (alpha-1,4), and (alpha-1,6) glucosidic linkages. The V/Km ratio shows that the (alpha-1,4) linkages are the best substrates. The pKm of the purified enzyme determined at different pH values indicated that two ionizable groups with pK values 5.2 and 6.9 could be essential in the active site. Enzyme modification with cardodiimide abolished the maltase activity. The turanose, a substrate analogue, protected the enzyme against this inactivation.
