1. The use of a modified sodium chlorite/acetic acid delignification procedure for the solubilization of a hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein fraction from the depectinated cell walls of Phaseolus coccineus is described. 2. The crude glycoprotein was associated with some pectic material; hydroxyproline and serine were the most abundant amino acids, and arabinose, galactose and galacturonic acid the predominant monosaccharides. 3. The bulk of the hydroxyproline is O-glycosidically substituted with tetra- and tri-arabinofuranosides. From methylation analysis the linkages in these arabinosides could be inferred. 4. Ion-exchange chromatography of the crude glycoprotein gave one major and two minor hydroxyproline-rich fractions, with similar amino acid but different monosaccharide composition. 5. In the major fraction, serine appears to be O-glycosidically substituted with a single galactopyranoside residue that can be removed by the action of alpha-galactosidase but not beta-galactosidase. Removal of arabinofuranoside residues by partial acid hydrolysis greatly enhanced the action of alpha-galactosidase. 6. Methylation followed by carboxy reduction with LiAl2H4 has shown the presence of (1 leads to 4)-linked galacturonic acid in the crude glycoprotein fraction but not in the major fraction from the ion-exchange column. Hence the bulk of the pectic material is not associated with the major glycoprotein component. It is suggested that the glycoprotein is held in the wall by phenolic cross-links. 7. Similarities with the glycopeptide moiety of potato lectin provides further evidence for a class of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins with common features.

ABSTRACT.Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis YZI was isolated from M17 agar in which diluted Dadih was poured and incubated at 30 0C for 48 h. Taxonomix properties of the isolate were examined according to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriologi and Manual for  Identification of Medical Bacteria. The isolation of polysaccharide from the precipitant was performed on an ion-exchange chromatography. The result showed that the polysaccharides produced by Lactococus lactis subsp. lactis YZI were neutral sugar (unadsorbrd fraction) and glycoconjugated (absorbed fraction). The neutral sugar had molecular weight of 10,000 and 20,000 with and α-glycoside linkage. The monosaccharide composition was mannose, glucose and galactose with a molar ratio of 1 :1,5 : 4,9.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Après une mise au point rapide sur les connaissances actuelles des polyosides pectiquesdans les végétaux, les résultats acquis sur la structure des substances pectiques de la pulpe deraisin sont exposés, avec un rappel de la méthodologie utilisée.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Un matériel insoluble à l'alcool (MIA) a été préparé à partir de pulpe de raisin. Quatre fractionspectiques en ont été isolées après traitements successifs par l'eau (25°C; PSE), l'oxalate(25°C; PSOX, l'acide (HCI 0.05M, 80°C; PSH) et la soude (O,05M, 4°C; PSOH).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Les PSE (35 p.100) et PSH (55 p. 100) représentent l'essentiel du matériel pectique extrait.Les PSE sont séparées par chromatographie d'échange d'ions en fractions neutre (PSEn~ 13 p. 100) et acide (PSEa ~ 87 p. 100). Les PSEa et les PSH sont constituées principalementd'acide galacturonique (PSEa 63 p. 100, PSH 53 p. 100), fortement estérifié par du méthanol(degré d'estérification : PSEa 77 p. 100, PSH 68 p. 100), tandis que des quantités faibles d'acideglucuronique sont détectées dans les PSEn (2 p. 100). Les oses neutres (PSEn 65 p. 100, PSEa28 p. 100, PSH 19 p. 100) sont principalement de l'arabinose et du galactose suivis dans unordre décroissant du rhamnose, glucose, xylose, mannose et fucose. Des protéines sont égaIementdétectées en association avec les polyosides.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">L'action d'une endopolygalacturonase et d'une endopectine-Iyase sur PSEa et PSH met enévidence des zones «lisses» homogalacturoniques dégradées par les enzymes et des zones«hérissées» rhamnogalacturoniques riches en chaînes latérales d'oses neutres, insensibles àl'attaque enzymatique. Le traitement du MIA par une endopectine-Iyase solubilise un matérielpectique (ZH-MIA) riche en oses neutres (56 p. 100) particulièrement en arabinose, et contenantde l'acide galacturonique (23 p. 100) et des protéines (11 p. 100).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La perméthylation associée à l'hydrolyse spécifique de l'arabinose par une α-L-arabinofuranosidaseet à la RMN du <sup>13</sup>C a permis d'établir la structure des chaînes latérales. Des (1 → 3) / (1 → 6) arabinogalactanes, où l'arabinose est essentiellement sous forme terminale non réductrice, dominent dans les ZH-PSE, tout comme dans les PSEn confirmant leur caractère d'arabinogalactane-protéine. En revanche ces structures ainsi que les (1 → 4) arabinogalactanes sont minoritaires dans les ZH-PSH et ZH-MIA où les structures de type (1 → 5) arabinanes et rhamnogalacturonanes sont prédominants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">+++</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After a brief review of available knowledges on plant pectic polysaccharides, structural data on pectic substances from the pulp or grape berries and related analytical techniques are reported.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">An alcohol insoluble residue (MIA) was prepared from pulp of grape berries, which was sequentially extracted with water (25°C), oxalate (25°C), acid (0,05N HCI, 80°C) and sodium  hydroxide (0,05N 4°C) yielding four pectic fractions, respectively, PSE, PSOX, PSH and PSOH. PSE (35 p. 100) and PSH (55 p. 100) represented the main part of extracted pectic material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">PSE were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography into neutral (PSEn ~ 13 p. 100) and acidic (PSEa ~ 87 p. 100) fractions. PSEa and PSH were constituted mainly of galacturonic acid (PSEa 63 p. 100, PSH 53 p. 100) highly methylesterified (esterification degree : PSEa 77 p. 100; PSH 68 p. 100), whereas PSEn contained minute amounts of glucuronic acid (2 p. 100). Neutral sugars (PSEn 65 p. 100, PSEa 28 p. 100, PSH 19 p. 100) were mainly arabinose and galactose followed by decreasing amounts of rhamnose, xylose, glucose, mannose and fucose. Proteins were also detected along with the polysaccharides.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Degradation of PSEa and PSH by endopolygalacturonase and endopectin-lyase evidenced «smooth» homogalacturonic areas sensitive to enzymatic degradation and «hairy» rhamnogalacturonic zones highly substituted by neutral sugar side-chains and resistant to enzyme action. Treatment of MIA With endopectinlyase released pectic material (ZH-MIA) rich in neutral sugars (56 p. 100), especially arabinose, and containing galacturonic acid (23 p. 100) and proteins (11 P. 100).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Structure of neutral sugar side-chains was investigated using methylation analysis associated with specific hydrolysis of arabinose residues with an α-L-arabinofuranosidase, and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy. ZH-PSE exhibited a structure of 3,6 -linked arabinogalactan substitued by monomeric terminal arabinose. Similar structures were detected in PSEn which relates them to arabino-3,6-galactan-proteins. Conversely PSH or ZH-MIA showed mainly arabinan-like and rhamnogalacturonan structures associated with minor proportions of 3,6- and 4-linked arabino-galactans.</p>

The neutral monosaccharides released by the acid hydrolysis of five peat profiles were analyzed by ion exchange chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography in order to ascertain whether monosaccharide composition can be used to differentiate peats. Glucose, mannose and galactose were the predominant monosaccharides found. Changes observed with depth in the relative abundances of the monosaccharides were not always correlated with the degree of decomposition as measured by fibre content or pyrophosphate index. The arabinose to xylose ratio was a diagnostic chemical feature which reflected the degree of decomposition of the peats.

SummaryA procedure is described for partial purification of an inhibitor of the activation of plasminogen by urokinase and streptokinase. The method involves specific adsorption of contammants, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and preparative electrophoresis. The inhibitor fraction contained no antiplasmin, no plasminogen, no α1-antitrypsin, no antithrombin-III and was shown not to be α2 M or inter-α-inhibitor. It contained traces of prothrombin and cerulo-plasmin. An antiserum against the inhibitor fraction capable of neutralising the inhibitor in serum was raised in rabbits.

Proteins often generate structure isoforms naturally or artificially due to, for example, different glycosylation, disulfide scrambling, partial structure rearrangement, oligomer formation or chemical modification. The isoform formations are normally accompanied by alterations in charged state or hydrophobicity. Thus, isoforms can be fractionated by reverse-phase, hydrophobic interaction or ion exchange chromatography. We have applied mixed-mode chromatography for fractionation of isoforms for several model proteins and observed that cation exchange Capto MMC and anion exchange Capto adhere columns are effective in separating conformational isoforms and self-associated oligomers.
