Purification to Homogeneity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The protein glutaredoxin, required for GSH-dependent ribonucleotide reduction, has been purified to homogeneity from calf thymus. The preparative method consisted of ammonium sulfate precipitation and three chromatography steps on DEAEkellulose, Sephadex G-50, and CM-Sepharose. Calf thymus glutaredoxin was assayed on the basis of its inherent GSH-disulfide transhydrogenase activity. Glutaredoxin, purified 3000-foldl was demonstrated to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography. It behaved as a neutral or slightly basic molecule having a M, of around 11,000. The apparent K, value of glutaredoxin with calf thymus ribonucleotide reductase at 4 m~ GSH was 6.0 X lo-’ M. With ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli, calf thymus glutaredoxin had a K , value of 1.9 X lo-‘ M and a molecular activity that was only 10% of that achieved with the calf thymus enzyme.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was purified to homogeneity from human seminal plasma by ion-exchange chromatography on a CM-Sephadex C-50 and by gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-200 column. A single 33-kDa protein band appeared in SDS-PAGE. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the purified protein produced a single peak, while isoelectric focusing demonstrated the presence of five diff...

Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are a family of hematopoietic growth factors required for the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells [I, 2]. In the human system, purification to homogeneity and biochemical characterization has only been reported for macrophage-active CSF (CSF-l) [3]. However, there are many reports about highly purified human granulocyte-macrophag...
