Tropomyosin-like properties of clathrin light chains allow a rapid, high-yield purification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The light chains (LCa and LCb) of bovine brain clathrin are resistant to heat denaturation by boiling, a property shared by tropomyosin (Bailey, K., 1948, Biochem. J., 43:271-281). Light chains were partially purified by boiling and centrifugation of a Tris-extract of crude membranes prepared from bovine brains (Keen, J. H., M. C. Willingham, and I. H. Pastan, 1979, Cell., 16:303-312). Contaminant polypeptides were then removed by size-exclusion high-pressure liquid chromatography. The purified light chains were separated from each other by using an immunoaffinity column prepared from a monoclonal antibody CVC.7 specific for LCa and not LCb.

Yeast clathrin has a distinctive light chain that is important for cell growth
The structure and physiologic role of clathrin light chain has been explored by purification of the protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, molecular cloning of the gene, and disruption of the chromosomal locus. The single light chain protein from yeast shares many physical properties with the mammalian light chains, in spite of considerable sequence divergence. Within the limited amino acid seq...
متن کاملNon-stoichiometric relationship between clathrin heavy and light chains revealed by quantitative comparative proteomics of clathrin-coated vesicles from brain and liver.
We used tandem mass spectrometry with peptide counts to identify and to determine the relative levels of expression of abundant protein components of highly enriched clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) from rat liver. The stoichiometry of stable protein complexes including clathrin heavy chain and clathrin light chain dimers and adaptor protein (AP) heterotetramers was assessed. We detected a defic...
متن کاملHybrids of Physarum myosin light chains and desensitized scallop myofibrils
The two light chains of Physarum myosin have been purified in a 1:1 ratio with a yield of 0.5-1 mg/100 g of plasmodium and a purity of 40-70%; the major contaminant is a 42,000-dalton protein. The 17,700 Mr Physarum myosin light chain (PhLC1) binds to scallop myofibrils, providing the regulatory light chains (ScRLC) have been removed. The 16,500 Mr light (PhLC2) does not bind to scallop myofibr...
متن کاملPredominance of clathrin light chain LCb correlates with the presence of a regulated secretory pathway
Two forms of clathrin light chains, LCa and LCb, are expressed in all mammalian and avian tissues that have been examined, whereas only one type is found in yeast. Regions of structural dissimilarity between LCa and LCb indicate possible functional diversity. To determine how LCa and LCb might differentially influence clathrin function, light chain expression patterns and turnover were investig...

Background and Objectives: Laccase is the most abundant member of protein family that catalyzes the oxidation of substituted phenols. Laccases are used as biocatalysts for decolorization and bleaching in dye industries, detoxification in environment, and juice clarification in food industries. The present study aimed at producing recombinant laccase, purifying with high yield and fold, and char...
