Affinity Chromatography of Serum Albumin with Fatty Acids Immobilized on Agarose*

چکیده

Fatty acids immobilized on agarose have been employed in the isolation and study of serum albumin by affinity chromatography. Various oleyland palmityl-aminoalkylamino-agarose preparations bound about 10 mg of albumin per ml of agarose; other proteins were retained in smaller amounts and with lesser affinity. Fatty acid-agarose columns which had been exposed to human serum and then washed yielded essentially pure albumin upon elution with 50% alcohol at pH 3. Lengthening the aminoalkylamino “arm” from 2 to 10 carbon atoms had little effect on the capacity for albumin, but increased the binding of other serum proteins. That the albumin binding was caused by the immobilized fatty acids was shown by the use of control preparations without fatty acids, by the inverse relation of albumin binding to the fatty acid content of the albumin, and by the ability to elute albumin from the agarose with solutions of sodium oleate. Efforts were made to isolate fatty acid binding regions of the bovine albumin molecule after tryptic digestion of albumin which was bound to fatty a&d-agarose. Two peptides with molecular weight of about 10,000 and 23,000 were obtained which were resistant to further digestion; the larger of these was purified and its amino acid composition determined. This tryptic peptide lacked cysteine and tryptophan, and apparently arises from the carboxyl-terminal portion of the albumin molecule. Some implications on the properties of the fatty acidbinding sites on albumin have been offered.

Comparative studies of the binding of some ligands to human serum albumin non-covalently attached to immobilized Cibacron Blue, or covalently immobilized on Sepharose, by column affinity chromatography.

A comparative study of the ligand-binding properties of human serum albumin was performed by the technique of affinity chromatography with the protein attached to immobilized Cibacron Blue F3GA (Blue Sepharose), or covalently immobilized on Sepharose. The binding strength of octanoate, decanoate and dodecanoate is much weaker when human serum albumin is attached to immobilized Cibacron Blue, in...

The effect of ligand presaturation on the interaction of serum albumins with an immobilized Cibacron Blue 3G-A studied by affinity gel electrophoresis.

The interaction of the immobilized triazine dye Cibacron Blue 3G-A with rat, rabbit, sheep, goat, bovine and human serum albumins was studied by affinity gel electrophoresis. Dissociation constants were estimated in each instance and showed human serum albumin to have a significantly higher affinity for the dye than did albumin from any other species. Pretreatment of the defatted proteins with ...

Binding of streptococcal lipoteichoic acid to fatty acid-binding sites on human plasma fibronectin.

The ability of Streptococcus pyogenes lipoteichoic acid and palmitic acid to bind to purified human plasma fibronectin was investigated. Initial studies indicated that intact fibronectin formed soluble complexes with lipoteichoic acid, resulting in a change in the mobility of fibronectin in an electrical field. Fibronectin covalently linked to agarose beads bound radiolabeled lipoteichoic acid ...

Isolation and partial characterization of a fatty acid binding protein in rat liver plasma membranes.

When [14C]oleate-bovine serum albumin complexes were incubated in vitro with rat liver plasma membranes (LPM), specific, saturable binding of oleate to the membranes was observed. Maximal heat-sensitive (i.e., specific) binding was 3.2 nmol/mg of membrane protein. Oleate-agarose affinity chromatography of Triton X-100-solubilized LPM was used to isolate a single 40-kDa protein with high affinit...
