Abstract

Membrane glycoproteins from young human erythrocytes and erythrocytes aged in vivo were fractionated by gel filtration. Three major groups of glycoproteins were obtained. The neutral hexoses and sialic acid contents of each group of glycoproteins from the old cells were found to be significantly reduced by comparison to the values found in the glycoproteins of the young cells. Thus, the previously observed decrease in neutral hexoses and in sialic acid contents of the full erythrocyte membrane during in vivo ageing does not affect only one particular group of glycoproteins but each of the groups of glycoproteins tested, including the major glycoproteins of the erythrocyte membrane, that is to say glycophorins. It is shown in addition, that the previously observed decrease per cell of the surface galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine residues of the ageing erythrocyte affect several groups of membrane glycoproteins including band 3, PAS-1, PAS-4 and PAS-3. The physiological significance of these experimental data is discussed.

Covalent immobilization of unilamellar liposomes in gel beads for chromatography.

For immobilized (proteo)liposome chromatography, unilamellar liposomes were covalently bound within gel beads that had been activated by CNBr, N-hydroxysuccinimide, tresyl, or chloroformate. Liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 2 mol% of amino-containing lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine-caproylamine) were immobilized in the activated gels at 5-35 micromol lipid/ml gel and yields of 11-70%. The highest immobilized amount was found in chloroformate-activated TSK G6000PW gel, which contains large pore size (>100 nm). Liposomes composed of PC alone could also be attached to the chloroformate-activated gels at 33-42 micromol/ml gel and yields of 58-65%, probably by crosslinking of the phosphate moiety of phospholipid with the active group of the adsorbent. Liposomes prepared by various phospholipids with or without amino-containing lipids can generally be immobilized in the chloroformate-activated gels. The covalently bound liposomes were characterized by their high stability, unilamellarity, permeability of the membranes, and drug-membrane partition properties. A stable membrane phase was constructed for chromatographic experiments to be performed under extreme elution conditions.

Comparison of three liquid chromatographic methods for egg-white protein analysis.

This paper describes and compares three chromatographic methods for the analysis of egg-white proteins. Gel-permeation chromatography allowed the separation of seven peaks from egg white, with an almost total protein recovery. A clean separation of ovomucin and lysozyme from the bulk of the proteins was obtained with this method. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography led to the fractionation of at least eight peaks. With this chromatographic method, the recovery was relatively poor. Approximately 30% of the ovalbumin was retained in the column after the elution. Finally, eleven chromatographic peaks were separated from egg white by high-performance liquid chromatography on an anion-exchange column. The recovery of proteins was almost total. The latter method afforded higher resolution.

Separation of enantiomers on a chiral stationary phase based on ovoglycoprotein. III. Effect of aggregation of ovoglycoprotein on chiral resolution.

Ovoglycoprotein from chicken egg whites (OGCHI) subjected to 80 degrees C has produced the associated OGCHI, which is a heat-induced aggregate of OGCHI. The molecular weight of the aggregate was estimated to be ca. 5.7 million daltons by a low-angle laser light-scattering detection. The heat-induced aggregate of OGCHI was found to dissociate reversibly to the OGCHI monomer. The OGCHI aggregate has little chiral recognition ability, or has much lower chiral recognition ability than the native OGCHI. Further, the OGCHI monomer from the reversibly dissociated OGCHI aggregate has chiral recognition ability comparable to that of the native OGCHI.
