A procedure allowing the purification of milligram amounts of the exocellular dd-carboxypeptidase–transpeptidase from Streptomyces R61 to protein homogeneity (95% purity) is described. The isolated protein has a molecular weight of about 38000 and consists of one polypeptide chain. Its amino acid composition is presented.

The exocellular dd-carboxypeptidase–transpeptidase from Streptomyces R39 was purified to protein homogeneity and in milligram amounts. The isolated enzyme consisted of one polypeptide chain of molecular weight about 53300. Its amino acid composition and several physicochemical properties were determined and compared with those of the exo-cellular dd-carboxypeptidase–transpeptidase from Streptomyces R61.

1. Guinea-pig caseins A, B and C were purified free of each other by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. 2. Determination of the amino acid composition showed all three caseins to contain a high proportion of proline and glutamic acid, but no cysteine. This apart, the amino acid composition of the three caseins was markedly different, though calculated divergence values suggest that some homology may exist between caseins A and B. Molecular-weight estimates based on amino acid composition were in good agreement with those based on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 3. N-Terminal analysis showed lysine, methionine and lysine to be the N-terminal residues of caseins A, B and C respectively. 4. Two-dimensional separation of tryptic digests revealed a distinctive pattern for each casein. 5. All caseins were shown to be phosphoproteins. The casein C preparation also contained significant amounts of sialic acid, neutral and amino sugars. 6. The results suggest that each casein represents a separate gene product, and that the low-molecular-weight proteins are not the result of a post-translational cleavage of the largest. All were distinctly different from the whey protein alpha-lactalbumin.

Staphylocoagulase, an exoprotein of coagulase positive staphylocoagulase, has been purified to a state in which only trace amounts of contaminating proteins are detectable.Purification was more than 35,000 fold, which is 7 times more than the highest value reported in the literature. The yield was about 15%.Aspartic acid was found as a single N-terminal amino acid in this preparation. The molecular weight is 61,000 and the isoelectric point lies at pH 4.53.The amino acid composition was determined.

An improved method for the isolation of Mucor miehei protease which utilizes a diafiltration cell has been used to obtain a highly purified protein in gram quantities and yields of about 80%. Based on a modified molecular weight function and data from amino acid analysis, a value of 41 800 for the molecular weight of the glycoprotein was established and some modification to the published amino acid composition was made. These results suggest that Mucor miehei protease is distinctly different from the two other acid proteases which are also produced by species of Mucor.
