A novel calcium-independent enzyme capable of incorporating putrescine into proteins.

A Ca(++)-independent enzyme capable of incorporating [3H]-putrescine into proteins was detected in the rat intestine mucosa. The Ca(++)-independent incorporation of [3H]-putrescine into proteins was temperature-, pH-, time-, and dose-dependent. However, this enzyme was absent in the gastric mucosa. Similar to testicular Ca(++)-dependent transglutaminase, the optimal pH of intestinal Ca(++)-independent enzyme was 9.0. At 10(-5) M or less putrescine concentrations, the Ca(++)-independent enzyme in an intestinal cytosol preparation showed a greater activity than did the Ca(++)-dependent transglutaminase. However, at higher putrescine concentrations, the latter showed a greater activity than did the former. Both the intestinal Ca(++)-dependent and independent enzymes were inhibited by cystamine, thermal labile at 50 degrees C and precipitated by 30 to 50% saturation of ammonium sulfate. The fact that these two enzymes shared many similar characteristics, with the exceptions of Ca(++)-requirement, suggests that they may have similar active site and intrinsic molecular function(s).

Application of an ELISA-elution assay as a screening tool for dissociation of yolk antibody-antigen complexes.

A modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay termed ELISA-elution assay was used as a screening tool to compare the efficiency of eluents for the dissociation of hen yolk immunoglobulin IgY bovine IgG complexes. The potential denaturing effects of the eluents were also monitored. Different buffers (pH 2.3-7.5), containing various types and concentrations of salts (NaCl, (NH4)2SO4 and MgCl2) as well as polyols (ethylene glycol (EG) and glycerol) were compared to the commonly reported glycine x HCl (pH 2.8) buffer and to a commercially available eluent, Actisep. Acidic pH buffers, Actisep and MgCl2 (3.5 M with EG or 4 M without EG) all successfully dissociated IgY from immobilized IgG. However, some denaturation was apparent using MgCl, and, to a lesser extent, Actisep. Furthermore, these same eluents demonstrated a diminished ability for liberating IgG from immobilized IgY(IgG). Information on eluent efficacy obtained by the ELISA-elution assays was applied to selectively isolate lower affinity antibodies for immunoaffinity column chromatography.
