This paper deals with the purification of four proteins fromEuphorbia characiaslatex, a copper amine oxidase, a nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase, a peroxidase, and a purple acid phosphatase. These proteins, very different in molecular weight, in primary structure, and in the catalyzed reaction, are purified using identical preliminary steps of purification and by chromatographic methods. In particular, the DEAE-cellulose chromatography is used as a useful purification step for all the four enzymes. The purification methods here reported allow to obtain a high purification of all the four proteins with a good yield. This paper will give some thorough suggestions for researchers busy in separation of macromolecules from different sources.

The synthesis of a new substrate, p-N,N-dimethylamino-β-phenethylamine (DAPA)3 (Fig. 1) (1,2), and the testing of it as a possible substrate for tissue amine oxidase activity have resulted in the ultracytochemical localization of enzyme oxidase activity referred to as DAPA oxidase (DAPAO). DAPA was designed with the goal of providing an amine that would yield on oxidation a stronger reducing aldehyde than does tryptamine in the histochemical demonstration of monoamine oxidase (MAO) with tetrazolium salts.Ultracytochemical preparations of guinea pig heart, liver and kidney and rat heart and liver were studied. Guinea pig kidney, known to exhibit high levels of MAO, appeared the most reactive of the tissues studied. DAPAO reaction product appears primarily in mitochondrial outer compartments and cristae (Figs. 2-4). Reaction product is also localized in endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasmic vacuoles and nuclear envelopes (Figs. 2 and 3) and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of heart.

SummaryHeat inactivation of thrombin at 54° C followed first order kinetics with a rate constant of 1.0 min−1 approximately. Addition of heparin resulted in protection against thermal denaturation and, at the same time, rendered denaturation kinetics more complex. Analysis of the biphasic curve of heat inactivation in the presence of heparin revealed that the rate constants of the second phase changed systematically with heparin concentrations. Namely, at 4.5 × 10−6M, 9 × 10−6M, 1.8 × 10−5M and 3.6 × 10−5M heparin concentrations, the rate constants were 0.27 min−1, 0.17 min−1, 0.11 min−1 and 0.06 min−1, respectively.Sulfate as well as phosphate ions displayed also enzyme protection against heat inactivation, however, the same effect was obtained already at a heparin concentration, lower by three orders of magnitude.The kinetics of enzyme denaturation was not affected by calcium ions, whereas in the presence of heparin the inactivation rate of thrombin changed, i. e. calcium ions abolished the biphasic character of time course of thermal denaturation.Thus, the data suggest that calcium ions contribute to the effect of heparin on thrombin.
