Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of mycoplasma proteins in sodium dodecyl sulphate.

چکیده
Electrophoresis of constituent proteins in polyacrylamide gels has become a useful aid in the identification of mycoplasmas. Razin & Rottem (1967) showed that mycoplasma proteins dissolved in phenol and acetic acid give reproducible, species-specific electrophoretic patterns when separated in the presence of acetic acid and urea. We encountered difficulties when using this technique. Mycoplasmas often failed to dissolve completely in the phenol-acetic acid solution and a large fraction of the dissolved protein migrated as a single fast component. Also long periods of electrophoresis (at least 5 h) were necessary to give satisfactory separations. We have therefore investigated an alternative approach, using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to dissolve the cells prior to electrophoresis in the presence of SDS.

متن کاملMolecular-weight estimates of milk-fat-globule-membrane protein-sodium dodecyl sulphate complexes by electrophoresis in gradient acrylamide gels.
The molecular weights of milk-fat-globule-membrane proteins solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulphate were estimated by gradient gel electrophoresis. Standard curves were calibrated from both protein and glycoprotein markers of known molecular weight. Six major proteins were observed with Coomassie Blue staining and six with periodic acid-Schiff staining. The behaviour of the membrane proteins and...
