A method for activity staining after native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using a coupled enzyme assay and fluorescence detection: application to the analysis of several glycolytic enzymes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method for the detection of isoforms of several glycolytic enzymes by activity staining after native PAGE. The staining is based on coupled enzyme assays carried out on the gel after electrophoresis and is linked to the disappearance of NADH, which is visualized by fluorescence. This method offers reliable and sensitive detection for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase from plant tissues. It can be applied to the detection of all enzymes which are normally detected spectrophotometrically using coupled enzyme assays consuming NAD(P)H.

A Novel Method to Detect β-Cyclodextrin Glucosyl Transferase (β-CGTase) Activity on Polyacrylamide Gels
b-cyclodextrin glucosyl transferase (b-CGTase) hydrolyses starch to produce b-cyclodextrin by transglycosylation (cyclization) activity. The conventional method for detection of b-CGTase activity is based on detecting starch hydrolysis by iodine staining. This method reveals all amylolytic enzymes, but can not discriminate them. In the present study, we introduce a new method for specific detec...
متن کاملRenaturation of enzymes after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate.
A number of enzymes, including amylases, dehydrogenases, and proteases, were shown to be renaturable after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Enzyme activity was detected in situ by action on substrates introduced into the gel and subsequent staining of either the product or unreacted substrate. This technique combines the advantage of enzyme identific...

We describe a blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic technique that allows the facile detection, quantitation and purification of three NADPH-producing enzymes. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase were detected simultaneously. Activity staining based on the formation of NADPH from the respective substrates and the subsequent precip...

Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) from cytosolic fraction of rat liver was purified to homogeneity having specific activity of 5.14 U/mg protein. An activity staining procedure was developed to determine molecular weight of the enzyme on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using Ferguson plot. Molecular Weight (M.W.) of the active PAP was 298 KDa. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a M.W. of 47 KDa for...
