Blue Sepharose

The dye Cibacron Blue F-3-GA was conjugated to Sepharose to provide an affinity column for serum albumin. Passage of whole human plasma through a column of Cibacron Blue-Sepharose results in the removal of approx. 98% of the albumin. The latter can be quantitatively recovered by desorption with NaSCN. Albumin-depleted plasma can be readily resolved into discrete fractions by a combination of conventional biochemical techniques. In particular, the resolution of plasma proteins with properties similar to those of native human plasma albumin can readily be accomplished by ion-exchange chromatography of the Sepharose-dye-treated plasma on DEAE-cellulose.

SUMMARY Ion-exchange chromatography was used to further purify a human pituitary fraction rich in thyrotrophic and luteinizing hormone activities. Approximately twofold concentration of both activities was obtained by chromatography on IRC-50 at pH 7·5, but the hormones were not separated. Subsequent chromatography on DEAE-cellulose at pH 9·5 led to a tenfold concentration of the luteinizing hormone in a fraction practically free of thyrotrophic activity and to a fourfold concentration of the thyrotrophic hormone in a fraction still exhibiting substantial luteinizing hormone activity.

Abstract By reaction of [B6H6]2-with (SCN)2 in dichloromethane at -80 C° the thiocyanatohexaborate anion is formed and can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose. The X-ray structure determination of Cs2[B6H5(SCN)] (orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 9.506(5), b = 10.644(5), c = 21.857(5) Å, Z = 8) reveals that the SCN substituent is bonded via the S atom with the B-S distance of 1.885(9) Å and the B-S-C angle of 99.8(5)°. The SCN group is nearly linear (179.9(9)°).

Metabolic Regulators

The aquatic fungi Achlya ambisexualis and Blastocladiella emersonii were grown in the presence of 32Pi and the 32P-labeled acid-soluble nucleotide fractions were analyzed by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Selected column fractions containing diguanosine tri- and tetra-phosphates (Gp3G and Gp4G) added as chromatographic markers were analyzed further for 32P by chromatography and (or) enzyme hydrolysis. The results of these experiments clearly indicate that neither Gp4G nor Gp3G is synthesized during vegetative growth of these organisms and cast doubt on the hypothesis that diguanosine nucleotides are important metabolic regulators in fungi.

Optimum Ph

Mature black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) seeds accum ulate high levels of the cyanogenic disaccharide (R)-amygdalin. Extracts from these seeds contain two β-glycosidases which have been identified and completely resolved by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. Amygdalin hydrolase hydrolyzed (R)-am ygdalin at an optimum pH of 5.5, releasing (R)-prunasin and D-glucose. This enzyme showed highest activity towards (R)-am ygdalin and failed to hydrolyze (R)-prunasin. linamarin, β-gentiobiose and cellobiose. A distinct β-glycosidase, prunasin hydrolase, displayed a pronounced preference for (R)-prunasin, hydrolyzing this cyanogenic monosaccharide at an optimum pH of 6.5 to mandelonitrile and D-glucose. Prunasin hydrolase was inactive towards (R)-am ygdalin, linamarin, and β-gentiobiose. Both enzymes showed significant activity towards the artificial substrates β-ONPGlu and β-PNPGlu but did not hydrolyze α-PNPGlu. In view of the pronounced specificity of these enzymes towards endogenous cyanogens, it is concluded that upon disruption of black cherry seeds (R)- amygdalin is catabolized to mandelonitrile in a stepwise manner (the sequential mechanism) by amygdalin hydrolase and prunasin hydrolase with (R)-prunasin serving as intermediate. Young fronds of Davallia trichomanoides are rich sources of (R)-vicianin (the β-vicianoside of (R)-mandelonitrile). A β-glycosidase, vicianin hydrolase, has been partially purified from frond extracts by ion-exchange chromatography. At the optimum pH of 6.0, this enzyme showed highest hydrolytic activity with (R)-vicianin, although both (R)-am ygdalin and (R)-prunasin could be hydrolyzed at approximately 15% of the rate observed with (R)-vicianin. It failed to hydrolyze β-gentiobiose, cellobiose, linamarin and α-PNPGlu. Closer exam ination revealed that (R)-vicianin and (R)-amygdalin were hydrolyzed at the aglycone-disaccharide bond (the simultaneous mechanism) yielding mandelonitrile and the respective disaccharides vicianose and β-gentiobiose

Black Soybean

A monomeric protein, with a molecular mass of 25 kDa and an N-terminal sequence resembling a segment of chitin synthase, was isolated from the seeds of the black soybean Glycine soja. The protein, designated glysojanin, demonstrated potent antifungal activity against the fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Mycosphaerella arachidicola. It inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with an IC50 of 47 µmol/L, [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation by mouse spleen cells with an IC50 of 175 µmol/L, and translation in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate with an IC50 of 20 µmol/L. Glysojanin was purified using a procedure that involved ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, ion-exchange chromatography by fast protein liquid chromatography on Mono S, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75.Key words: antifungal protein, seeds, soybean, purification.
