Abstract

The measurement of trace organics such as drugs and pesticides at low concentration in biological and environmental samples is a challenging analytical task. Despite recent advances in instrumentation most analysts regard sample preparation as the rate-limiting step in the overall analytical method. In recent years there has been a lot of interest in immobilising antibodies onto solid supports such as silica to provide highly selective solid-phase extraction. This paper reviews the use of immuno-affinity for solid-phase extraction. It uses as examples extraction of chlortoluron and isoproturon from water and morphine and clenbuterol in urine and plasma respectively. An extensive list of other examples is given. Optimisation procedures are discussed in detail.

Distinct and overlapping sets of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 target proteins revealed by quantitative proteomics.

The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) family in vertebrates includes three different family members that are conjugated as post-translational modifications to target proteins. SUMO-2 and -3 are nearly identical but differ substantially from SUMO-1. We used quantitative proteomics to investigate the target protein preferences of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2. HeLa cells were established that stably express His6-SUMO-1 or His6-SUMO-2. These cell lines and control HeLa cells were labeled with stable arginine isotopes, and His6-SUMOs were enriched from lysates using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. 53 SUMO-conjugated proteins were identified, including 44 novel SUMO targets. 25 proteins were preferentially conjugated to SUMO-1, 19 were preferentially conjugated to SUMO-2, and nine proteins were conjugated to both SUMO-1 and SUMO-2. SART1 was confirmed by immunoblotting to have both SUMO-1- and SUMO-2-linked forms at similar levels. SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 are thus shown to have distinct and overlapping sets of target proteins, indicating that SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 may have both redundant and non-redundant cellular functions. Interestingly, 14 of the 25 SUMO-1-conjugated proteins contain zinc fingers. Although both SUMO family members play roles in many cellular processes, our data show that sumoylation is strongly associated with transcription because nearly one-third of the identified target proteins are putative transcriptional regulators.

Crosslinked glass fiber affinity membrane chromatography and its application to fibronectin separation.

Macroporous glass membranes were prepared from glass fiber filters via chemical crosslinking and modification, and used for the membrane affinity chromatography of fibronectin from human blood plasma. The filters were first treated with a piranha solution (a concentrated solution of H2SO4 + H2O2 in water), and then crosslinked with bifunctional organosilanes and modified to introduce amino or aniline moieties. Ligand immobilizations via diazotization and glutaraldehyde pathways were carried out and compared. Characterization of the membranes was performed using bovine serum albumin and trypsin as test ligands. By using a cartridge containing gelatin immobilized affinity membranes followed by another cartridge containing heparin immobilized membranes, fibronectin from human blood plasma could be separated.

Yeast V1-ATPase: affinity purification and structural features by electron microscopy.

V1-ATPase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was purified via a FLAG affinity tag introduced into the N terminus of the G subunit. The preparation migrated as a single band in native gel electrophoresis and contained subunits ABCDEFGH (with subunit C present at substoichiometric amounts) as determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The initial specific Ca-ATPase activity was approximately 6 micromol/min/mg. The structure of the yeast V1-ATPase was studied by electron microscopy of negatively stained and frozen hydrated samples. A 25-A resolution three-dimensional model of the complex was calculated from two-dimensional projections by the angular reconstitution technique. The model shows six elongated densities arranged in pseudo-3-fold symmetry around a large central cavity. At the top of the molecule, various protrusions can be seen. At the bottom of the complex, two large masses are visible that are connected to the main body of the molecule. Comparison of the yeast V1 structure with the structure of the intact V1V0-ATPase from bovine brain clathrin-coated vesicles (Wilkens, S., Vasilyeva, E., and Forgac, M. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 31804-31810) indicates that the structure of the isolated V1 from yeast is very similar to the structure of the V1 domain in the intact V-ATPase complex.
