Total RNA was isolated from cyanoblast-containing tissue taken from behind the compound eye of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus. Poly(A)-containing RNA separated from this by affinity chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose was translated in the rabbit reticulocyte haemolysate system in the presence of L-[35S]methionine. By using an antiserum to Limulus haemocyanin, polypeptides were isolated from the translation products which had a similar mobility to the authentic Limulus haemocyanin polypeptides as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis.

Sepharose 4B

1. The subunits were isolated of modeccin (subsequently referred to as modeccin 4B), the toxin purified from the roots of Adenia digitata by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B [Gasperi-Campani, Barbieri, Lorenzoni, Montanaro, Sperti, Bonetti & Stirpe (1978) Biochem J. 174, 491-496]. They are an A subunit (mol.wt. 26 000), which inhibits protein synthesis, and a B subunit (mol.wt. 31 000), which binds to cells. Both sununits, as well as intact modeccin, gave single bands on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, but showed some heterogeneity on isoelectric focusing and on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5. 2. A second form of modeccin, not retained by Sepharose 4B, was purified by affinity chromatography on acid-treated Sepharose 6B: this form is subsequently termed modeccin 6B 3. Modeccin 6B has a molecular weight indistinguishable from that of modeccin 4B, and consists of two subunits of mol.wts. 27 000 and 31 000, joined by a disulphide bond. The subunits were not isolated because of their high insolubility in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. 4. As compared with modeccin 4B, modeccin 6B is slightly less toxic to animals, does not agglutinate erythrocytes, and is a more potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in a lysate of rabbit reticulocytes, giving 50% inhibition at the concentration of 0.31 microgram/ml.

Sepharose 4B

Lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) extracted from adipose tissue of glucose-fed rats with 5 mM-sodium barbital, pH 7.5, containing 20% (v/v) glycerol and 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100, was partially purified by affinity chromatography on heparin linked to Sepharose 4B. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the partially purified enzyme preparation revealed the presence of two major Coomassie-staining bands (mol.wts. 62 000 and 56 000) as well as a number of minor bands. Treatment of partially purified enzyme with [1,3-3H]di-isopropyl fluorophosphate resulted in the incorporation of radiolabel into the band of mol.wt. 56 000, but not into the band of mol.wt. 62 000. Both the amount of the 56 000-mol.wt. polypeptide and the incorporation of [1,3-3H]di-isopropyl fluorophosphate into this band were greatly reduced in the enzyme preparations isolated from adipose tissue of 48 h-starved rats. whereas the amount of the 62 000-mol.wt. polypeptide was unaffected by starvation. Purification of lipoprotein lipase from adipose tissue of glucose-fed rats was also carried out using affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B linked to heparin with low affinity for antithrombin-III. This procedure resulted in the presence of a single band of mol.wt. 56 000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. These results suggest that the polypeptide of mol.wt. 56 000 corresponds to the subunit of lipoprotein lipase, whereas the 62 000-mol.wt. polypeptide probably represents antithrombin-III.

<em>Bahan<strong> </strong>baku untuk membuat baso adalah daging hewan, pada umumnya dari daging sapi, ayam, ikan dan babi. Di beberapa daerah di Indonesia terjadi kasus baso tikus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji ada tidaknya kandungan daging tikus pada produk baso yang dijual di pasar Cempaka Putih-Kecamatan Kramat Jakarta Pusat dan di pedagang baso atau mie baso di sekitar kampus Universitas YARSI Jakarta. Daging adalah protein salah satu metode untuk mengidentifikasi protein adalah metode Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).<strong> </strong>Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 6 sampel baso terindikasi ada 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 1 dan 5 yang dibuat dari campuran daging sapi dan tikus; ada 1 sampel baso dengan nomor 6 yang terbuat dari daging tikus; dan 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 2 dan 3 yang terbuat dari campuran sapi  dan babi, dan hanya 1 sampel baso dengan nomor sampel 4 yang benar-benar terbuat dari daging sapi.</em>

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.
