It was shown that high-salt (2.75 M-NH4Cl/69mM-MgCl2) shock treatment at 0 degrees C of the larger subparticles (L-subparticles) of rabbit, Xenopus laevis and Neurospora crassa cytoplasmic ribosomes yielded split-protein fractions that were not only functionally equivalent but also interchangeable. Thus, although the remaining core-particles were inactive in both the puromycin reaction and in poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis, activity was restored when they were combined with either homologous or heterologous split-protein fractions. This technique was used to prepare active hybrid L-subparticles, e.g. rabbit cores/N. crassa split-proteins, and also active hybrid ribosomes, e.g. rabbit smaller subparticle/X. laevis core-particle/rabbit split-proteins. Rabbit and X. laevis split-protein fractions labelled with 14C by reductive methylation with [14C]formaldehyde and sodium cyanoborohydride were both shown to bind to rabbit core-particles in approximate correlation with the degree of re-activation. The split-protein fractions of rabbit and X. laevis L-subparticles were analysed by two-dimensional and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights (measured in sodium dodecyl sulphate gels) of the split-proteins of rabbit and X. laevis L-subparticles were found to be similar. These results demonstrate that the peptidyltransferase active centre of cytoplasmic ribosomes of eukaryotes has components that are interchangeable over a wide evolutionary range. Evidently the essential molecular architecture of the active centre is highly conserved.

Larger ribosomal subparticles (L-subparticles) of rabbit ribosomes were treated with either ribonucleases (I or T1) or proteinases (trypsin or chymotrypsin), and their capacity to function in poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis and in the puromycin reaction was investigated. The effects of pretreatment of L-subparticles on the reconstruction of active subparticles from core-particles derived by treatment with 2.75 M-NH4Cl/69 mM-MgCl2 and split-protein fractions were also examined. The protein moiety of proteinase-treated L-subparticles was analysed by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The introduction of 16–100 scissions in the RNA moiety had no effect on the activity of the L-subparticles in polyphenylalanine synthesis, and there was no effect on the stability of L-subparticles to high-salt shock treatment and a marginal effect on the reconstruction of L-subparticles from high-salt-shock core-particles and split-protein fractions. In contrast, L-subparticles treated with low amounts of trypsin (0.56 ng of trypsin/microgram of L-subparticle) were inactive in polyphenylalanine synthesis, and their capacity to function in partial-reconstruction experiments was diminished. Activity in the puromycin reaction was increased by 70% as a result of trypsin treatment (280 ng of trypsin/microgram of L-subparticle). At least two of the acidic proteins implicated in the translocation function were not affected by trypsin treatment. Trypsin-treated L-subparticles had lost their capacity to bind the smaller ribosomal subparticle (S-subparticle). The protein(s) needed for S-subparticle binding were shown to be present in high-salt-shock cores. At least six proteins associated with the core-particles were attack during trypsin treatment of L-subparticles. An examination of L-subparticles isolated from trypsin-treated polyribosomes showed that the amount of trypsin necessary to decrease the activity of the subparticle by 50% was about twice that needed in the treatment of L-subparticles alone. The largest protein of rabbit L-subparticles (approx. 51 000 daltons) was cleaved in a stepwise fashion by trypsin to fragments of approx. 40 000 daltons. This protein was also cleaved by chymotrypsin.

SUMMARYPlasmodium knowlesi malaria-infected erythrocytes were radio-iodinated and several non-ionic, anionic and zwitterionic detergents were compared in their capacity to extract the labelled membrane proteins. The use of these detergents for antigen identification was tested by immunoprecipitation, after addition of Triton X-100 to some detergent extracts, using hyperimmune monkey antiserum and protein A-Sepharose. 125I-labelled antigens were specifically immunoprecipitated with all detergents tested, including the anionic detergents sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), deoxycholate and cholate; the zwitterions Zwittergent-312 and -314, CHAPS and Empigen BB, as well as several non-ionic detergents. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of 125I-labelled antigens varied after extraction with different detergents, there being no consistent pattern for detergents of a particular class. A total of 14 125I-labelled antigens were identified, 11 of them using Triton X-100. Some minor antigens identified with Triton X-100 were immunoprecipitated in greater amount after extraction in other detergents. Most importantly, two antigens Mr 200000 and 180000 were detected only after extraction with deoxycholate or SDS.

The molybdenum- and iron-containing protein components of nitrogenase purified from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Azotobacter vinelandii, Azotobacter chroococcum and Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids all gave either one or two protein-staining bands after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, depending on the commercial brand of sodium dodecyl sulphate used. The single band obtained with K. pneumoniae Mo-Fe protein when some commercial brands of sodium dodecyl sulphate were used in the preparation of the electrode buffer was resolved into two bands by the addition of 0.01% (v/v) dodecanol to the buffer. Protein extracted from the two bands obtained after electrophoresis of K. pneumoniae Mo-Fe protein gave unique and distinct peptide ‘maps’ after tryptic digestion. Undissociated Mo-Fe protein contained both sets of tryptic peptides. These data are consistent with Mo-Fe protein from K. pneumoniae being composed of non-identical subunits. Amino acid analyses of the subunit proteins revealed some clear differences in amino acid content, but the two subunits showed close compositional relatedness, with a different index [Metzer, H., Shapiro, M.B., Mosiman, J.E. & Vinton, J.G. (1968) Nature (London) 219, 1166-1168] of 4.7.

Protein Disulphide Isomerase

Protein disulphide-isomerase from bovine liver was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional electrophoresis and N-terminal amino acid analysis. The preparative procedure, a modification of that of Carmichael, Morin & Dixon [(1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 7163-7167], is much faster and higher-yielding than previous procedures, and the final purified material is of higher specific activity. The enzyme has Mr 57 000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, both in the presence and in the absence of thiol compounds. Gel-filtration studies on Sephadex G-200 indicate an Mr of 107 000, suggesting that the native enzyme is a homodimer with no interchain disulphide bonds. Ultracentrifugation studies give a sedimentation coefficient of 3.5S, implying that the enzyme sediments as the monomer. The isoelectric point, in the presence of 8 M-urea, is 4.2, and some microheterogeneity is detectable. The amino acid composition is comparable with previous analyses of this enzyme from bovine liver and of other preparations of thiol:protein disulphide oxidoreductases whose relation to protein disulphide-isomerase has been controversial. The enzyme contains a very high proportion of Glx + Asx residues (27%). The N-terminal residue is His. The pure enzyme has a very small carbohydrate content, determined as 0.5-1.0% by the phenol/H2SO4 assay. Unless specific steps are taken to remove it, the purified enzyme contains a small amount (5 mol/mol of enzyme) of Triton X-100 carried through the purification.

1. N-Phenylmaleimide irreversibly inhibits pyruvate transport into rat heart and liver mitochondria to a much greater extent than does N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetate or bromopyruvate. alpha-Cyanocinnamate protects the pyruvate transporter from attack by this thiol-blocking reagent. 2. In both heart and liver mitochondria alpha-cyanocinnamate diminishes labelling by [3H]N-phenylmaleimide of a membrane protein of subunit mol.wt. 15000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 3. Exposure of mitochondrial to unlabelled N-phenylmaleimide in the presence of alpha-cyanocinnamate, followed by removal of alpha-cyanocinnamate and exposure to [3H]N-phenylmaleimide, produced specific labelling of the same protein. 4. Both labelling and kinetic experiments with inhibitors gave values for the approximate amount of carrier present in liver and heart mitochondria of 100 and 450 pmol/mg of mitochondrial protein respectively. 5. The turnover numbers for net pyruvate transport and pyruvate exchange at 0 degrees C were 6 and 200 min-1 respectively.

beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase from boar epididymis was separated into two forms, A and B, on DEAE-cellulose. Both these forms were excluded from Sepharose S-200 and had apparent Mr values of 510 000 on gradient gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions. Affinity chromatography on 2-acetamido-N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylam ine coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B was used to separate and purify beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases A and B that had specific activities of 115 and 380 mumol/min per mg of protein respectively. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of denatured beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A gave a single major component of Mr 67 000. beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase B also had this component, and in addition had polypeptides of Mr 29 000 and 26 000. All these polypeptides were glycosylated. Antiserum to the B form precipitated form A from solution and reacted with the 67 000-Mr component or form A after electrophoretic transfer from sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose sheets. The 67 000-Mr components of forms A and B yielded identical peptide maps when digested with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase, and the 29 000-Mr and 26 000-Mr components in form B may be related to the 67 000-Mr polypeptide.

Molecular Weights

Proteins from the axonemes and disc cytoskeleton of Giardia lamblia have been examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition to tubulin and the 30 X 10(3) molecular weight disc protein, at least 18 minor components copurify with the two major proteins in Triton-insoluble structures. The most prominent minor bands have the apparent molecular weights of 110 X 10(3), 95 X 10(3) and 81 X 10(3). Protein of 30 X 10(3) molecular weight accounts for about 20% of organelle protein on gels. In continuous 25 mM-Tris-glycine buffer it migrates mostly as a close-spaced doublet of polypeptides, which are here given the name giardins. Giardia tubulin and giardin have been purified by gel filtration chromatography in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Well-separated fractions were obtained that could be further characterized. Both proteins are heterogeneous when examined by isoelectric focusing. Five tubulin chains were detected by PAGE Blue 83 dye-binding after focusing in a broad-range ampholyte gel. Giardin is slightly less acidic than tubulin. On gels it splits into four major and four minor chains with isoelectric points in the pI range from 5.8 to 6.2. The amino acid composition of the giardin fraction has been determined, and compared to Giardia tubulin and a rat brain tubulin standard. Giardins are rich in helix-forming residues, particularly leucine. They have a low content of proline and glycine; therefore they may have extensive alpha-helical regions and be rod-shaped. As integral proteins of disc microribbons, giardins in vivo associate closely with tubulin. The properties of giardins indicate that in a number of respects - molecular size, charge, stoichiometry - their structural interaction with tubulin assemblies will be different from other tubulin-accessory protein copolymers studied in vitro.
