Molecular weight of Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase in concentrated solutions of guanidine hydrochloride.
نویسنده
چکیده
The molecular weight of Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase was determined in 6m- and 8m-guanidine hydrochloride by meniscus-depletion sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity and viscosity. Sedimentation equilibrium revealed heterogeneity with the smallest component having a molecular weight of about 50000. At lower speeds, the apparent weight-average molecular weight is about 80000. By use of a calculation based on an empirical correlation for proteins that are random coils in 6m-guanidine hydrochloride, sedimentation velocity gave a molecular weight of 91000, and the intrinsic viscosity indicated a viscosity-average molecular weight of 84000. Heating in 6m-guanidine hydrochloride lowered the viscosity of beta-galactosidase in a variable manner.

The subunit size of thiogalactoside transacetylase from Escherichia coli ML 308 in 6 M guanidinium chloride measured by sedimentation equilibrium in the ultracentrifuge was found to be 29,700 =t 2,000, about half the molecular weight of the native protein. The two chains were identical by estimation of the number of peptides obtained after treatment with trypsin, BrCN, and with both reagents in...

Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...

The apolipoprotein B polypeptide of human serum low density lipoprotein exists (after reduction of disulfide bonds) as a random coil with a molecular weight of 250,000 in concentrated solutions of guanidine hydrochloride. With intact disulfide bonds, there is a limited restraint on the polypeptide conformation in this denaturing solvent. In the presence of saturating amounts of bound sodium dod...
متن کاملInduction of alkaline phosphatase in Escherichia coli: effect of procaine hydrochloride.
The effect of procaine hydrochloride, an anesthetic known to alter membrane structure, on the induced formation of alkaline phosphatase, a periplasmic enzyme, in Escherichia coli was investigated. Procaine hydrochloride specifically arrested the appearance of active alkaline phosphatase while permitting the induction of another enzyme, beta-galactosidase, which is internally localized. Evidence...
متن کاملAbility of Daphnia Cell-Free Extract to Damage Escherichia coli Cells.
A cell-free extract of Daphnia magna was found to lyse Escherichia coli cells as shown by leakage of the enzymes alkaline phosphatase and beta-galactosidase from the bacteria. The cell-free extract was separated on Sephadex G-200, and the fractions showing an ability to lyse E. coli cels were isolated. The factor which was responsible for the lysis of the bacterial cells was probably a protein ...
