Abstract

Digitoxin at concentrations up to 5 x 10(-10) M (therapeutic concentrations are 2 x 10(-8) M) can be reliable measured by a fluoroimmunometric method with coproporphyrin as a tracer. The use of nylon filters with immobilized digitoxin to remove an excess of labelled antibodies increases reliability and reduces the time of measurements, and thus simplifies the assay.

Development of a perfusion ion-exchange chromatography method for the separation of soybean proteins and its application to cultivar characterization.

A perfusion ion-exchange chromatography method has been designed, for the first time, for the separation of soybean proteins and its application to the characterization of soybean cultivars. For that purpose, the gradient, the mobile phase composition (buffer concentration, buffer pH, and elution salt), and the temperature were optimized. The method consisted of a two-step gradient (0% B for 2 min and from 0 to 50% B in 10 min) being mobile phase A a 2 0mM borate buffer (pH 9) and mobile phase B a 20 mM borate buffer (pH 9) containing 1M sodium chloride. The procedure used for the preparation of sample solutions was significantly simpler than that proposed by other authors and basically consisted of dissolving in water. This method enabled the separation of soybean proteins from a soybean protein isolate in 11 peaks in about 9 min. The method was used to separate soybean proteins in different commercial soybeans. In general, the 11 peaks yielded by the soybean protein isolate were also observed in the chromatograms of all soybeans. However, the area percentages of every peak in every soybean enabled the differentiation between soybeans. Moreover, the method was also used to separate soybean proteins in the proteic fractions obtained from every soybean. Multivariate methods were used for patterns recognition and the classification of samples.

An improved method for purification of recombinant truncated heme oxygenase-1 by expanded bed adsorption and gel filtration.

Recombinant truncated human heme oxygenase-1 (hHO-1) expressed in Escherichia coli was efficiently separated and purified from feedstock by DEAE-ion exchange expanded bed adsorption. Protocol optimization of hHO-1 on DEAE adsorbent resulted in adsorption in 0 M NaCl and elution in 150 mM NaCl at a pH of 8.5. The active enzyme fractions separated from the expanded bed column were further purified by a Superdex 75 gel filtration step. The specific hHO-1 activity increased from 0.82 +/- 0.05 to 24.8 +/- 1.8 U/mg during the whole purification steps. The recovery and purification factor of truncated hHO-1 of the whole purification were 72.7 +/- 4.7 and 30.2 +/- 2.3%, respectively. This purification process can decrease the demand on the preparation of feedstock and simplify the purification process.

Purification and characterization of proline/hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein from pearl millet coleoptiles infected with downy mildew pathogen Sclerospora graminicola.

Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) are important plant cell wall structural components, which are also involved in response to pathogen attack. In pearl millet, deposition and cross-linking of HRGPs in plant cell walls was shown to contribute to the formation of resistance barriers against the phytopathogenic oomycete Sclerospora graminicola. In the present study, the purification and characterization of HRGPs that accumulated in coleoptiles of pearl millet seedlings in response to S. graminicola inoculation has been carried out. Periodic acid Schiff's staining revealed that the purified protein was a glycoprotein. The protein to carbohydrate ratio was determined to be 95.5%:4.5% (w/w). Proline amounted for 20 mol% of the total amino acids as indicated by amino acid composition analysis. The isolated protein had a pI of 9.8 and was shown to be composed of subunits of 27, 17, and 14 kDa. Cross reactivity with the monoclonal antibody MAC 265 and the presence of the signature amino acid sequence, PVYK, strongly suggested to classify the purified glycoprotein as a member of the P/HRGPs class. In the presence of horseradish peroxidase and H2O2 the purified glycoprotein served as a substrate for oxidative cross-linking processes.
