The isolation and identification of the B protein of lactose synthetase as alpha-lactalbumin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The B protein, a subunit of lactose synthetase (EC 2.4.1. c), was crystallized from bovine skim milk and bovine mammary tissue. The B protein was identified as cu-lactalbumin, based on the following criteria: substitution in the enxymic rate assays, spectra, immunological titrations, amino acid composition, mobility on starch gel electrophoresis, molecular weight, and cochromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose and Sephadex G-100. Thus the biological function of cr-ladalbumin is as a natural occurring subunit of lactose synthetase.

متن کاملUse of affinity chromatography for the quantitative study of acceptor-ligand interactions: The lactose synthetase system.
From the effects of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucose on the elution of the A protein of human lactose synthetase from a column of Sepharose-alpha-lactalbumin, values of 200m(-1) and 0.57m(-1) are deduced for the association constants describing the interaction between the enzyme and the respective monosaccharides.
متن کاملHormonal induction and regulation of lactose synthetase in mouse mammary gland.
The augmentation of lactose synthetase activity during late pregnancy and lactation was measured by using both a tissue-culture assay and a cell-free assay. The results indicated at least a 100-fold augmentation in specific activity between late pregnancy and lactation. The cell-free assay indicated that the activities of both subunits of this enzyme had increased to 20-30% of the value during ...
متن کاملThe lactose synthetase particles of lactating bovine mammary gland. Preparation of particles with intact lactose synthetase.
1. The particulate form of lactating bovine mammary lactose synthetase activity is shown to be more highly organized than previously reported. 2. A novel method of shattering frozen mammary tissue with effective cell disruption is described. 3. The apparent subcellular distribution of lactose synthetase was shown to reflect the method of homogenization. 4. After mild homogenization particles as...
متن کاملProgesterone and the metabolic control of the lactose biosynthetic pathway during lactogenesis in the rat.
1. Lactogenesis was initiated in pregnant rats by ovariectomy, thereby causing progesterone withdrawal, after which the mammary tissue was analysed for contents of enzymes and metabolites concerned with the biosynthesis of lactose. 2. Lactose synthesis increased about 126-fold with little or no accompanying change in the contents of most metabolic intermediates or in the adenine nucleotide ener...
