Coloradocin was isolated from a fermentation broth by adsorption onto Amberlite XAD-2. The activity was eluted in MeOH and purified by gel filtration on Shephadex LH-20, followed by liquid-liquid chromatography on diol-bonded silica gel. The last two steps in the purification of this antibiotic included reverse-phase chromatography on C18-bonded silica gel and countercurrent chromatography on a...

A thiamine-binding protein was purified from the extract of rice bran acetone powder by conventional procedures of acid precipitation, a series of column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration of Sephadex G-200. The purified thiamine-binding protein was nearly homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated to be 94,0...

purification of extra-cellular cellulolytic enzymes from c e l l u l o mssp. strain 0, isolated from forest soil in the north of iran , was studied by using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. two endo-glucanases (endo-i & endo-ii) and one exo-glucanase (exo-i) were purified to hornogenity . the purified enzymes had molecular weights of about 39.000,70.000 and 90.000 daltons for end...

Early region E3 of adenovirus 2 encodes a glycoprotein, E3-gp25K, that is a good model with which to study structure-function relationships in transmembrane glycoproteins. We have determined the structures of the oligosaccharides linked to E3-gp25K. The oligosaccharides were labeled with [2-(3)H]mannose in adenovirus 2-early infected KB cells for 5.5h (pulse) or for 5.5 h followed by a 3-h chas...

Bullock median-eminence tissue was used as a source of luteinizing-hormone-releasing factor for small-scale experiments to explore methods for its isolation. The presence of luteinizing-hormone-releasing factor was detected by the ovulation response in rabbits after intrapituitary infusion of the extract. Gel filtration was found to be suitable for the purification of these extracts. The releas...

Soluble proteins derived from a centrifuged and filtered granule-rich fraction of homogenized rat submandibular gland were analyzed by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both the granule-rich fraction and final supernatant fraction contained alkaline esterase activity. The major protein component, derived from granules of the convoluted tubules,...

We have developed a simple immunoaffinity chromatography procedure for the purification of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) from bovine serum. The enzyme was initially purified by a procedure consisting of 9% polyethylene glycol precipitation, Q Sepharose anion-exchange chromatography, S-300 gel filtration, wheat germ lectin-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite aga...

A DNA methyltransferase, M.NgoAI, was purified to homogeneity from Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain WR220 by successive column chromatography. Its Mr is 25,000, as determined by both gel filtration and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Maximal enzymatic activity was obtained in 50 mM Tris.HCl (pH 7.4), 10 mM EDTA, with incubation at 37 degrees C. An apparent Km value for S-adenosylmeth...

Antigenic extracts of Streptococcus group E (SGE) were subjected to fractional ethanol precipitation, block (preparative) electrophoresis, and gel filtration for the purpose of separating the type antigen from the group antigen. Ethanol precipitation was ineffective in separating the substances. Block electrophoresis yielded serologically pure group antigen and a mixture of type and group antig...
