The oxidation of essential serum proteins, albumin and gamma globulin, by the enzyme peroxidase can be partially inhibited by compounds, such as EDTA and 2,4-pentanedione, that complex with the iron ion in peroxidase. The importance of such inhibition lies in the circumstance that the oxidations in question might be a possible causative factor in tissue aging.

A selectively Fc gamma-binding protein was isolated from purified and radioiodinated cell membranes from two cases of B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia and one case of B-type prolymphocytic leukemia by binding to IgG aggregates, horseradish peroxidase-anti-peroxidase IgG complexes, and sheep erythrocyte membrane sheets densely coated with IgG. This protein could not be isolated from the cell membranes of an Fc gamma-receptor-negative chronic lymphocytic leukemia of the T type or from membranes of human erythrocytes. The Fc gamma-binding protein was efficiently solubilized by a mixture of Na-EDTA and 2-mercaptoethanol, but not with one of these agents alone, indicating that both divalent cations and disulfide bridges are involved in the linkage of the Fc gamma-binding protein to the cell membrane. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the Fc gamma-binding protein revealed an apparent mol wt of 28,000 and in isoelectric focusing it showed an isoelectric point of 5.5. The electrophoretic mobility of the 28,000-dalton protein did not change after reduction and alkylation. It was determined that the NH2-terminal amino acid of the protein was glycine. The isolated protein was unable to agglutinate antibody-coated erythrocytes. These findings suggest that the 28,000-dalton IgG-affined protein was composed to O2-enriched buffer lacking reducing agents, the 28,000-dalton protein aggregated to a 115,000-dalton molecule. The isolated Fc gamma-binding protein proved to be different from C1q or its subunits.

The high resolution, two-dimensional electrophoresis system for the separation of proteins described by O'Farrell, (O'Farrell, P.H. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 4007--4021) has been modified for the separation of Acholeplasma laidlawii proteins. Reproducible protein patterns have been obtained from A. laidlawii cell, membrane and soluble protein preparations. The isoelectric focusing of membrane proteins was greatly improved by removing the bulk of the membrane lipid before solubilizing the protein. A. laidlawii peripheral membrane proteins were removed from the membrane by low ionic strength washing and by treatment with EDTA. The effect of an exhaustive EDTA treatment and a rapid, warm EDTA treatment were compared. By comparing the protein patterns obtained in these ways it was possible to distinguish two separate groups of peripheral membrane proteins and one integral membrane protein group. The peripheral membrane proteins which were removed from the membrane at low ionic strength (group I) were also insoluble in Triton X-100, whereas additional peripheral membrane proteins extractable by subsequent EDTA treatment (group II) were soluble in Triton X-100. Exterior-facing membrane proteins were distinguished from the interior-facing ones by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of intact cells and membranes. Group I peripheral membrane proteins faced the cell interior whereas group II proteins faced the cell exterior. We counted approximately 320 individual whole cell proteins. Of these, about 140 were membrane associated and a maximum of 40 proteins were iodinated after iodinating intact cells. A. laidlawii was also grown in the presence of NaH232PO4 and whole cell proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. One membrane protein and two soluble proteins were labelled.

Iron and copper ions, in a concentration greater than 10(-4) M, inhibit the indicator reaction of a glucose oxidase-peroxidase reagent for the enzymatic determination of glucose, when weakly complexing buffers or buffer-free reaction media are used. The addition of EDTA and other complexing agents or, time-dependently, the buffer ions themselves reverse the inhibition to a great extent. The discussed mechanism of inhibition is based on the assumption that the metal ions share in the re-oxidation of the co-enzyme of glucose oxidase.

The intracellular location of the binding site of antibody against purified myosin prepared from equine leucocytes was investigated in neutrophils and lymphocytes by electron microscopy using peroxidase-labelled antibody method. The myosin extracted from equine leucocytes could bind skeletal muscle F-actin and the formed complex showed the biophysical and biochemical properties and electron microscopic appearance of actomyosin. On immunodiffusion, the leucocyte myosin formed a single precipitin line with its antibody prepared in rabbits. The antibody also formed single precipitin lines with myosins from lymphocytes and thrombocytes, fusing with each other. The antibody against the leucocyte myosin did not react with myosins from skeletal or arterial smooth muscle. The specificity of the antibody was further established by determination of K+-EDTA-activated ATPase activity remained in the supernate of antigen-antibody mixture. Under electron microscope, the intracellular immunoreactive products of peroxidase labelled antibody were found in cytoplasm of neutrophils and lymphocytes incubated with antibody against leucocyte myosin, but not in neutrophils or lymphocytes treated with IgG from normal rabbits.

1. Dihydroxyfumarate slowly autoxidizes at pH6. This reaction is inhibited by superoxide dismutase but not by EDTA. Mn2+ catalyses dihydroxyfumarate oxidation by reacting with O2 leads to to form Mn3+, which seems to oxidize dihydrofumarate rapidly. Cu2+ also catalyses dihydroxyfumarate oxidation, but by a mechanism that does not involve O2 leads to. 2. Peroxidase catalyses oxidation of dihydroxyfumarate at pH6; addition of H2O2 does not increase the rate. Experiments with superoxide dismutase and catalase suggest that there are two types of oxidation taking place: an enzymic, H2O2-dependent oxidation of dihydroxyfumarate by peroxidase, and a non-enzymic reaction involving oxidation of dihydroxyfumarate by O2 leads to. The latter accounts for most of the observed oxidation of dihydroxyfumarate. 3. During dihydroxyfumarate oxidation, most peroxidase is present as compound III, and the enzymic oxidation may be limited by the low rate of breakdown of this compound. 4. Addition of p-coumaric acid to the peroxidase/dihydroxyfumarate system increases the rate of dihydroxyfumarate oxidation, which is now stimulated by addition of H2O2, and is more sensitive to inhibition by catalase but less sensitive to superoxide dismutase. Compound III is decomposed in the presence of p-coumaric acid. p-Hydroxybenzoate has similar, but much smaller, effects on dihydroxyfumarate oxidation. However, salicylate affects neither the rate nor the mechanism of dihydroxyfumarate oxidation. 5. p-Hydroxybenzoate, salicylate and p-coumarate are hydroxylated by the peroxidase/dihydroxyfumarate system. Experiments using scavengers of hydroxyl radicals shown that OH is required. Ability to increase dihydroxyfumarate oxidation is not necessary for hydroxylation to occur.

Ethylene formation from the thioethers, beta-methylthiopropionaldehyde (methional) and 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyric acid by phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was found to be largely dependent on myeloperoxidase (MPO). Conversion was less than 10% of normal when MPO-deficient PMNs were employed; formation by normal PMNs was inhibited by the peroxidase inhibitors, azide, and cyanide, and a model system consisting of MPO, H2O2, chloride (or bromide) and EDTA was found which shared many of the properties of the predominant PMN system. MPO-independent mechanisms of ethylene formation were also identified. Ethylene formation from methional by phagocytosing eosinophils and by H2O2 in the presence or absence of catalase was stimulated by azide. The presence of MPO-independent, azide-stimulable systems in the PMN preparations was suggested by the azide stimulation of ethylene formation from methional when MPO-deficient leukocytes were employed. Ethylene formation by dye-sensitized photooxidation was also demonstrated and evidence obtained for the involvement of singlet oxygen (1O2). These findings are discussed in relation to the participation of H2O2, hydroxyl radicals, the superoxide anion and 1O2 in the formation of ethylene by PMNs and by the MPO model system.

The ability of the neutrophil myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system to induce the release of human platelet constituents was examined. Both lytic and nonlytic effects on platelets were assessed by comparison of the simultaneously measured release of a dense-granule marker, [(3)H]serotonin, and a cytoplasmic marker, [(14)C]adenine. Incubation of platelets with H(2)O(2) alone (20 muM H(2)O(2) for 10 min) resulted in a small, although significant, release of both serotonin and adenine, suggesting some platelet lysis. Substantial release of these markers was observed only with increased H(2)O(2) concentrations (>0.1 mM) or prolonged incubation (1-2 h). Serotonin release by H(2)O(2) was markedly enhanced by the addition of myeloperoxidase and a halide. Under these conditions, there was a predominance of release of serotonin (50%) vs. adenine (13%), suggesting, in part, a nonlytic mechanism. Serotonin release by the complete peroxidase system was rapid, reaching maximal levels in 2-5 min, and was active at H(2)O(2) concentrations as low as 10 muM. It was blocked by agents which inhibit peroxidase (azide, cyanide), degrade H(2)O(2) (catalase), chelate Mg(2+) (EDTA, but not EGTA), or inhibit platelet metabolic activity (dinitrophenol, deoxyglucose).These results suggest that the myeloperoxidase system initiates the release of platelet constituents primarily by a nonlytic process analogous to the platelet release reaction. Because components of the peroxidase system (myeloperoxidase, H(2)O(2)) are secreted by activated neutrophils, the reactions described here may have implications for neutrophilplatelet interaction in sites of thrombus formation.

The peripheral membrane protein fraction released by washing Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes with low-ionic strength buffers contained about 50% of the total membrane-bound ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities. The ATPase, NADH oxidase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities remained bound to the membrane even when EDTA was added to the wash fluids, and thus appear to belong to the integral membrane protein group. Serving as a marker for peripheral membrane proteins, the membrane-bound ribonuclease activity was solubilized by bile salts much more effectively than the integral membrane-bound enzymes. On the other hand, the solubilized ribonuclease showed a much lower capacity to reaggregate with other solubilized membrane components to membranous structures. Yet, most of the ribonuclease molecules which were bound to the reaggregated membranes could not be released by low-ionic strength buffer. The reaggregated membranes differed from the native membranes in the absence of particles on their fracture faces obtained by freeze cleaving, and by their much higher labeling by the [125-I]lactoperoxidase iodination system. These results suggest that most of the proteins are exposed on the reaggregated membrane surfaces, with very little, if any, protein embedded in its lipid bilayer core. Enzyme disposition in the A. laidlawii membrane was studied by comparing the activity of isolated membranes with that of membranes of intact cells after treatment with pronase or with an antiserum to membranes. The data indicate the asymmetrical disposition of these activities, the ATPase and NADH oxidase being localized on the inner membrane surface, while the nucleases are exposed on the external membrane surface.

We describe an immunoassay for thyroxine in serum. In the assay specific antibody covalently bonded to latex particles is used, along with horseradish peroxidase as the label, and o-phenylenediamine as the chromogen. The flexible protocol is designed for manual execution. Performance is similar to that of the highest-sensitivity thyroxine radioimmunoassays. Results correlate well with radioimmunoassay (r = 0.99, slope = 0.93, y-intercept = 2.4 microgram/liter for 201 samples) and an automated enzyme immunoassay (r = 0.97, slope = 0.99, y-intercept = 4.7 coefficients of variation are less than 7.2% over the entire useful range of the assay (20--240 microgram/liter). The limit of detection is less than 94 pg/tube at 20 microgram/liter. Only D-thyroxine is known to interfere with serum assays. This assay has no discernible protein effect from 40 to 80 g of protein per liter, unlike many thyroxine radioimmunoassays. Serum preservatives known to be peroxidase inhibitors do not adversely affect assay performance because of the 56-fold dilution in the final assay mixture. Hemolyzed serum and EDTA-treated plasmas are unsuitable for this assay.
