Abstract Human sera were subjected to analytical ultracentrifugation and "high-pressure" gel-permeation chromatography on a system of combined TSK Gel G5000 PW and G3000 SW columns. The chromatographic method produced remarkably superior resolution of the proteins, especially those exceeding 100 000 Da. We calculated the molecular masses of eluted fractions on the basis of their detection by low-angle laser light scattering and their differential refractive index. We discuss the results in relation to the clinical data.

The intramolecularly crosslinked polystyrene molecules, prepared as in part I of this series, were examined by the techniques of light scattering, osmometry, viscometry, and gel permeation chromatography. Their molecular masses and molecular mass distribution remained constant over all the stages of the reaction radii of gyration were determined and the results compared with those predicted in part II of this series.

Abstract The different electrophoretic mobilities of erythrocyte and serum catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) were confirmed and the causes responsible for their differences were examined. The presence of a catalase-binding protein in serum that could form a complex with erythrocyte catalase was excluded by incubating serum proteins with erythrocyte catalase. No new unequivocal catalase bands representing a catalase-binding protein were detected. The erythrocyte and serum catalase proved to be charge isoforms: their molecular masses, estimated by gel permeation chromatography or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a nondenaturing system, were very similar, whereas their electrophoretic mobilities were different. Assay of serum catalase by gel permeation and hydrophobic chromatography yielded a product with the same electrophoretic mobility as that of erythrocyte catalase. Different dilution of erythrocyte catalase with human sera led to a gradual decrease of its mobility, 20-fold or greater dilution yielding the same results as for serum catalase. Similarly, when serum catalase was diluted 20-fold or more with 60 mmol/L phosphate buffer, it migrated similarly to erythrocyte catalase. I detected no effect of dialyzable serum ligands, NADPH, or protection of SH groups on the electrophoretic mobility of either catalase isoform. I conclude that formation of charge isoforms of catalase is caused by a reversible, conformational modification due to matrix effect of serum.

Five chitinases were isolated from culture filtrates of Bacillus licheniformis B-6839 R and S variants by combination of hydrophobic, ion-exchange, and gel permeation chromatography. The enzymes had molecular masses of 66, 62, 53, 49, and 42 kDa. The chitinases revealed two activity optima against colloidal chitin at pH 4.5–5.5 and 9.0–9.5 and they were rather stable at pH 4.0–9.5. The temperature optimum of activity was 90 °C for the 62-kDa chitinase and 70 °C for the other enzymes. The 66-, 53-, and 42-kDa chitinases showed pronounced similarities in their N-terminal sequences and apparently belonged to the same group, which might be related to Bacillus circulans chitinase A1. The 49- and 62-kDa enzymes did not reveal structural similarities with other chitinases produced by the studied B. licheniformis strain. No relationship was found with the 89- and 76-kDa chitinases isolated earlier from B. licheniformis X-7u.Key words: Bacillus licheniformis, chitinase, multiplicity.

Abstract. IGF-I and -II share specific serum carrier proteins which elute on neutral Sephadex G-200 gel permeation chromatography at apparent molecular masses of 50 and 200 kD. The half-lives of free and carrier protein-bound 125I-IGF-I and -II were determined after bolus injections of the tracers into two normal adults. Labelled IGF-I and -II migrated first with the 50-kD and later with the 200-kD complex. In these complexes their apparent half-lives were 20–30 min and 12–15 h, respectively. The apparent half-life of free 125I-IGF-I and -II was 10–12 min. In a second set of experiments, recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I was infused during 6 days in two healthy adults at a dose of 20 μg · kg−1 · h−1 (corresponding to around 30 mg/day). Serum obtained before and during the infusion was subjected to neutral Sephadex G-200 gel permeation chromatography and fractions were pooled according to the apparent molecular masses at which the carrier protein complexes elute. IGF-I and -II in these pools were determined by RIA. Before the IGF-I infusion, 92 and 272 μg/l of IGF-I and -II were found in the 200-kD complex, 45 and 91 μg/l in the 50-kD complex, and 15 and 5 μg/l were present in the free form. Corresponding figures during the IGF-I infusion were 389 and 18 μg/l for the 200-Kd complex, 201 and 54 μg/l for the 50-kD complex, and 80 and < 1 μg/l for free IGF-I and -II. Using the half-lives of the tracer studies and the levels of the different molecular weight forms of IGF in serum, the production rates for IGF-I and -II were calculated to be 10 mg and 13 mg per day.
