Zonal electrophoresis of the soluble nuclear proteins of normal and preneoplastic livers.

چکیده
SUMMARY The saline-soluble proteins of rat liver nuclei have been cx tensively resolved into profiles according to charge, permitting comparison with similar arrays from liver cytoplasm. Nuclei were isolated in 2.1 M sucrose solution from the per fused livers of rats fed stock, control, or hepatocarcinogenic 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene diet. After feeding the 320 dye for 20 days, the nuclei contained 3% of the bound azo dyes of liver. Exhaustive extraction of the nuclei in isotonic saline-phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 dissolved approximately 49% of the nitrogen and 86% of the protein-bound dyes. Fifteen classes of the soluble nuclear macromolecules, for merly designated on the basis of free boundary electropho resis, were isolated by column zonal electrophoresis. The strongly acidic, weakly acidic, and near-neutral Classes 2†" 15 consist of proteins. In contrast, the basic Classes 16†" 18 are composed of small molecules, apparently dissociated from macromolecules. Approximately one-half of the protein-bound dyes in the charge profiles are associated with a small class of near-neutral proteins, Class 14. The remainder are combined mainly with the acidic proteins, Classes 5†" 9. The saline-soluble proteins isolated from liver nuclei gener ally appear to be similar to those of cytoplasm. This appears to apply particularly to the principal near-neutral azoproteins of the nucleus (Class 14) and those of the cytoplasm (slow h2). Conjecturally, these soluble macromolecules may be shared throughout the â€oesolublespace†• of the cell.

Zonal Electrophoresis of the Soluble Proteins of Liver and Tumor in Azo Dye Carcinogenesis.
A procedure has been developed for the zonal electrophoretic resolution of the sol uble proteins of rat liver with the use of a modified Porath column of ethanolyzed cellu lose. The mild method, with 750 mg. on less of protein, has been applied to various studies. An initial degree of resolution reproducibly separates the soluble liver proteins into all their principal charge classes with high ...

The acid-soluble nuclear proteins of regenerating and thioacetamide-treated rat livers as well as the Morris 9618A hepatoma and the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma were ex tracted from citric acid-isolated nuclei with 0.4 N H2SO4. The nuclear extracts were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Although most of the protein spots were common to the livers and tumors stud ied, ...

The proteins and azoproteins of liver nuclei isolated in aque ous or nonaqueous medium from livers of rats fed the hepato carcinogen 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene for 20 days were compared. The two types of nuclear preparation ap parently contained similar quantities of saline-soluble and-insoluble protein-bound azo dyes. in aqueous nuclei, the pro tein-bound dyes represent only 3% of tho...
