Estrogen receptor purification by affinity chromatography using an orange triazine dye.

A rapid two-step procedure was devised for the purification of the estrogen receptor from the calf uterus. A 900- to 1700-fold purification of the estrogen receptor was obtained using ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by dye affinity chromatography with Reactive Orange 14 immobilized to Sepharose. The Reactive Orange 14-Sepharose was used to purify the estrogen receptor in the presence or absence of estradiol as well as to purify the progesterone receptor. The purified estrogen receptor retained its estradiol- and DNA-binding properties and sedimented into sucrose gradients as the 5 S receptor dimer. The Reactive Orange 14-Sepharose is easily prepared and offers a higher yield and purity of the estrogen receptor than that afforded by estrogen- or heparin-Sepharose chromatography.

Activation of the skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel by the triazine dyes cibacron blue F3A-G and reactive red 120.

Vesicle-45Ca2+ ion flux and planar lipid bilayer single-channel measurements have shown that the Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is activated by micromolar concentrations of Cibacron Blue F3A-G (Reactive Blue 2) and Reactive Red 120. Cibacron Blue increased the 45Ca2+ efflux rate from heavy SR vesicles by apparently interacting with both the adenine nucleotide and caffeine activating sites of the channel. Dye-induced 45Ca2+ release was inhibited by Mg2+ and ruthenium red. In single channel recordings with the purified channel protein complex, Cibacron Blue increased the open time of the Ca2+ release channel without an apparent change in the conductance of the main and subconductance states of the channel.

Studies of the mode of action of antitumour triazenes and triazines-III. Metabolism studies on hexamethylmelamine.

These is good evidence that the antitumour agent hexamethylmelamine (HMM) undergoes oxidative metabolic activation which might occur in the liver and/or extrahepatically. The hepatic microsomal N-methylmelamine metabolizing enzymes were investigated in mice and exhibited different affinities for different melamine derivatives. The apparent Km values are 0.09 mM for HMM, 0.23 mM for pentamethylmelamine, 0.91 mM for 2,2,4,6-tetramethylmelamine and 1.7 mM for trimethylmelamine. HMM inhibited its own metabolism in vitro at substrate concentrations greater than 0.05 mM. Its hepatic microsomal N-demethylation rate was reduced when the mice were pretreated with the hepatic glutathione depleting agent methyliodide. Injection of hexaethylmelamine, a derivative of HMM without antineoplastic properties against the M5076 sarcoma in mice, lead to plasma concentrations of drug and metabolite pentaethylmelamine which were only a fraction of the drug and metabolite levels achieved after a similar dose of HMM.

A comparative study of the effect of triazine herbicides on alcohol dehydrogenases isolated from various sources.

The studied herbicides (terbutylazine, simazine) inhibit the activity of plant, animal, and yeast alcohol dehydrogenases. The inhibition constant Ki for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isolated from peas and bakers' yeast equals approximately 10(-4) M, and that for ADH isolated from horse liver is of the order of 10(-5) M. The character of inhibition for all the herbicides studied for the reaction catalyzed by pea, liver, and yeast ADH is always noncompetitive toward ethanol and competitive with respect to NAD. The inhibition constants for the enzyme isolated from peas are pH independent. The interaction constants found for terbutylazine and simazine and for o-phenanthroline, nicotinamide, and ATP indicate that the herbicides are bonded through the metal component of the enzyme, similar to the nicotinamide part of NAD. The interaction constant less than unity found for the herbicide-ATP system indicates that the bonding site in the active center of the enzyme is different for the herbicides and the adenine part of NAD.
