The Purification and Properties of Streptolysin S
Considerable purification of streptolysin S has been achieved by fractionation of crude bacterial filtrates with methanol, under controlled conditions of pH, ionic strength, and temperature. The final material (P III) consisted of two electrophoretic components. The purified material was employed for kinetic studies, the results of which were confirmed with hemolysin isolated electrophoreticall...
متن کاملIdentification of SLEEPLESS, a sleep-promoting factor.
Sleep is an essential process conserved from flies to humans. The importance of sleep is underscored by its tight homeostatic control. Through a forward genetic screen, we identified a gene, sleepless, required for sleep in Drosophila. The sleepless gene encodes a brain-enriched, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein. Loss of SLEEPLESS protein caused an extreme (>80%) reduction in sleep...
متن کاملPurification and properties of a nerve growth-promoting factor isolated from mouse sarcoma 180.
It was reported by Levi-Montalcini and Ham burger (7) that mouse Sarcomas 180 and 37 con tain a diffusible agent which stimulates the growth of sympathetic and spinal ganglia of chick em bryos. The original experiments (1,6) consisted of the intra-embryonic and allantoic transplantation of small pieces of living tumor to 3-day embryos. Subsequently, it was observed that a marked ra dial outgrow...
متن کاملPurification and Properties of Human Coagulation Factor
Blood coagulation Factor M was purified 100,000fold from fresh frozen human plasma to apparent homogeneity with a yield of 30% based on coagulation assay. The molecular weight estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 48,000. Factor VI1 is composed of a single polypeptide chain with the NHz-terminal sequence Ala-Asn-AlaPhe-Leu-(G1a)-(Gla)-Leu-(Arg)-Pro. It is co...
متن کاملPurification and properties of stringent factor.
The stringent factor from Escherichia coli is the product of the relA locus. It is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of pppGpp and ppGpp eliciting a pyrophosphate transfer from ATP to the 3'--OH of GTP (or GDP). This protein is responsible for the synthesis of pppGpp and ppGpp in stringent strains in response to an amino acid starvation. In vitro it catalyzes the synthesis of these guanos...
