Commercial ampholytes used for isoelectric focusing may interfere with bioactivity based purification of antimicrobial peptides.

چکیده
BioRad's Rotofor system has been frequently used for the purification of proteins and smaller peptides such as bacteriocins. In this study, we report that some commercially available ampholytes used with the Rotofor isoelectric focusing system possess antimicrobial activity, which may interfere with the purification of bacteriocins and bacteriocin-like substances.

Capillary isoelectric focusing-mass spectrometry for shotgun approach in proteomics.
We report on capillary isoelectric focusing-mass spectrometry (CIEF-MS) of complex peptide mixtures in the absence of carrier ampholytes. Furthermore, the use of low concentrations of carrier ampholytes as mere spacers is investigated. Carrier ampholytes are complex mixtures of amphoteric compounds with high buffering capacity. Since all peptides are amphoteric compounds by themselves, the use ...
متن کاملHuman platelet basic protein associated with antiheparin and mitogenic activities: purification and partial characterization.
Platelet basic protein (PBP) (isoelectric point, 10.0-10.5; apparent Mr, 11,000-15,000) has been purified to homogeneity from material secreted by fresh human platelets after stimulation by thrombin. The purification, using preparative isoelectric focusing and chromatography on heparin-Sepharose, yielded two additional peptides with antiheparin activity that were immunologically identical with ...
متن کاملNS phosphoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus: subspecies separated by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing.
The NS protein of vesicular stomatitis virus is the only phosphorylated nucleocapsid protein. The amount of NS phosphorylation appears to regulate the activity of the protein in the transcription of the virus genome. Several methods have been used to separate NS subspecies containing different amounts of phosphate, but the relationships among the subspecies separated by different workers have b...
متن کاملDevelopment of non-gel-based two-dimensional separation of intact proteins by an on-line hyphenation of capillary isoelectric focusing and hollow fiber flow field-flow fractionation.
A rapid, non-gel-based, on-line, two-dimensional separation method is introduced for proteome analysis. Protein fractionation was carried out by first exploiting the differences in their respective isoelectric points (pI) in a Teflon capillary using isoelectric focusing (IEF), followed by a molecular weight (MW)-based separation in a hollow fiber by flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF). The me...
متن کاملIsoelectric Focusing of Human Liver
1. Isoelectric focusing of human liver alkaline phosphatase in a sucrose density gradient with LKB Ampholine as carrier ampholytes is described. 2. Problems due to the chelating properties of the ampholytes and the pH gradient were examined. 3. A reactivation procedure to counter these effects was devised that can probably be used for other alkaline phosphatases. 4. The isoelectric point of hum...
