Carboxymethylcellulose, carboxymethylchitin, sulfoethylcellulose and dextrane sulfate interact with pancreatic ribonuclease. In comparison with ribonuclease activity the activity of formed complexes changes differently at the stages of transesterification and hydrolysis, and at each stage the effect of polymers on ribonuclease activity essentially differs. The use of ribonuclease-dextrane sulfate complex in the reaction of uridylyl-(3' leads to 5')-cytidine synthesis demonstrated that the protein synthetic activity completely retained when hydrolytic activity was considerably suppressed.

Extracellular nuclease produced by a marine Vibrio sp., strain No. 2, was purified by salting out with ammonium sulfate and by chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and twice on a Sephadex G-200 column. The nuclease was eluted as a single peak in which the deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity and ribonuclease (RNase) activity appeared together. Polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis showed a single band of stained protein which had both DNase and RNase activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 100 000 daltons. When using partially purified enzyme from the DEAE-cellulose column, the optimum pH for activity was 8.0, and the enzyme was activated strongly by 0.05 M Mg2+ ions and stabilized by 0.01 M Ca2+ ion. These concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions are similar to those of the two cations in seawater. Indeed, the enzyme revealed high activity and strong stability when kept in seawater. The presence of particulate matter, such as cellulose powder, chitin powder. Hyflosupercel, Kaolin, and marine mud increased the stability of the enzyme. When the hydrostatic pressure was increased from 1 to 1000 atmospheres, the decrements of the enzyme activity were more pronounced at 30 and 40 degrees C than at 25 or 50 degrees C. The enzyme activity was restored after decompression to 1 atm at 30 degrees C.

Donor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) single strands exist in a complex during the eclipse phase in pneumococcal transformation. This eclipse complex exhibited specific physical properties distinct from those of both pure DNA single strands and native DNA. These included a lower affinity for diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and hydroxylapatite than that of single-strand DNA, faster sedimentation than the DNA chains that it contains, and a buoyant density in Cs2SO4 lower than that of native DNA. The complex was dissociated by treatments with sodium dodecyl sulfate, NaOH, guanidine-hydrochloride, chloroform, and proteinase K but was insensitive to ribonuclease.

The effectiveness of several commonly used inhibitors of ribonuclease (RNAase) has been studied using the removal of radio-labelled leucine from leucyl-tRNA as a sensitive assay for RNAase activity. The inhibitors were tested under a variety of conditions, varying the temperature, the pH, and the source of RNAase. When each inhibitor is udes separately in the presence of pancreatic RNAase, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is the most effective; but during long exposures to temperatures above 0 degrees C considerable amounts of RNA are still degraded. Combination of inhibitors are more effective in preserving RNA; with this assay, a combination of SDS with diethyl pyrocarbonate is the most effective. Proteinase K acts as an inhibitor when used in combination with SDS; however, it has RNAase activity when used by itself. Diethyl pyrocarbonate, when used at the high range of concentrations employed by others for RNAase inhibition, reacts with RNA changing its charge. However, when diethyl pyrocarbonate is used in smaller amounts the effects on RNA are minimal, and when used in combination with SDS it effectively inhibits RNAase.

Alkaline ribonuclease (RNase) from polyribosomes derived from experimental granulation tissue has been purified 1900-fold through affinity chromatography. The preparation was homogeneous in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an estimated molecular weight of 15 000. Purified RNase was completely inhibited in the presence of divalent ions Mg2+(100 mM) and Ca2+(100 mM) but activated slightly with Na+(50 mM). The enzyme is an endonuclease and the best substrates were poly(U), mixed RNA from yeast, rRNA from granulation tissue and poly(C). The estimated apparent Km-values were 0.037, 0.064, 0.13 and 0.27 g1-1, respectively. In polyribosomes RNase occurred in both free and p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB)-liberated forms. The total activity was at the highest but the proportion of the free activity minimal in the granulation tissue during the maximal synthesis of collagen.

Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) produced by a human strain of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (286C(2)) was purified to homogeneity from pH extracts of fermentor-grown cells by ultrafiltration, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation, hydrophobic chromatography on norleucine-Sepharose 4B, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and Bio-Gel P-150 filtration. Purified LT preparations exhibited biological activity comparable to that of cholera toxin in four bioassays specific for the two enterotoxins (Y-1 adrenal tumor cells, Chinese hamster ovary cells, pigeon erythrocyte lysates, and skin permeability test). The overall yield of LT protein was 20%, which represented a 500-fold purification over pH extracts. A native molecular weight of 73,000 was determined by gel electrophoresis. The toxin dissociated upon treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate, pH 7.0, into two components with molecular weights of 44,000 and 30,000. Purified LT preparations were remarkably stable over a wide range of storage conditions, temperatures, and pH's. The biological activity was increased by incubation with trypsin and completely destroyed by pronase and proteinase K, whereas deoxyribonuclease I, ribonuclease, and phospholipase D had no effect. The amino acid composition of purified LT was quite different from that of cholera toxin. Neither carbohydrate nor lipopolysaccharide was present in purified preparations. The purification scheme appeared applicable to LT produced by other human and porcine enterotoxigenic strains, but reflected the amount of LT produced by each strain. These data show that LT and cholera toxin share many common chemical and physical properties, but must be purified by different techniques.

An antigenic substance reactive with autoantibodies found in patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases was isolated from calf thymus. The purification procedure included extraction of the tissues with acetone powder, batch and column chromatography on DEAE-resins, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and affinity chromatography on antibody-Sepharose 4B. Indirect immunofluorescence examination of cultured human embryo cells, using the serum of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, showed a speckled nuclear pattern. The antigenic factor was a soluble acidic protein with a pI of 5.0 and a molecular weight of 250,000. The antigenic activities of this purified substance from calf thymus, and of the material on the cultured human embryo cells, were destroyed by proteases, ribonuclease, and alkaline phosphatase. The determinants were also sensitive to periodate oxidation. Thermal stability to 60 degree C and pH stability between 2.6 and 8.5 were demonstrated. Cross-reactivity of the antigenic substance with antibodies isolated from individuals with cancer and autoimmune diseases was shown by immunofluorescence, with appropriate blocking and absorption controls.

It seems from the literature that colloidal iron (C.I.) binding sites on cell surfaces cannot be completely removed by treatment with Vibrio Colerae alpha-neuraminidase. We wondered if C.I. particles bind to negative groups other than the carboxyl groups of sialic acids. Using HeLa cells from suspension cultures and fresh human erythrocytes, we examined, with the transmission electronmicroscope, the influence of the following enzymatic and histochemical treatments on C.I. staining: alpha-neuraminidase; hyaluronidase; ribonuclease; alpha-amylase; mild methylation (MM); MM + saponification (Sap.); MM + Sap +MM; MM + Sap + alpha-neuraminidase; active methylation (AM); AM + Sap; AM + Sap + AM; AM + Sap + alpha-neuraminiadase; CH3OH (80%); Sap. It seemed from these experiments that the carboxyl groups of alpha-neuraminidase sensitive sialic acids constitute the majority of binding sites for C.I. to these particular cells. The most interesting candidates for the residual binding of C.I. are carboxyl groups of alpha-neuraminidase resistant molecules, sulfon, sulfin, and sulfate groups.

Prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductase was purified from chicken heart by ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite and phosphocellulose chromatography. Two peaks of activity were resolved during the phosphocellulose chromatographic step. Both peaks were stimulated by a substance that was not bound to the phosphocellulose column. This stimulatory substance was destroyed by treatment with phosphodiesterase and 0.1 M NaOH. It was heat-stable (100 degrees, 2 min), nondialyzable, and resistant to treatment with pronase, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease; but it was dialyzable after heating or digestion with pronase. Sodium pyrophosphate also enhanced the activities of the prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductases as did angiotensin I; but not angiotensin II. In the presence of 3':5'-cyclic AMP, AMP, or several other ribonucleotides, the enhancing effects of the natural stimulatory substance, sodium pyrophosphate or angiotensin I were blocked, but these ribonucleotides themselves had little effect on the enzymes activity. The substrate specificities of the two prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductases were also studied. Both the 9-keto group and the 15-keto group of 15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha could be converted to the corresponding hydroxyl group; the 15-keto group was reduced faster than the 9-keto group. Prostaglandin D2, a prostaglandin with a 9-hydroxyl and an 11-keto group, could not be converted to prostaglandin F2 alpha nor could cyclohexanone be converted to cyclohexanol by the prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductase.

A practical synthesis of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (IV) in yields of 68-72% from adenosine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate 5'-phosphate (II) is described. Reaction of II with triethylamine-N-sulfonic acid affords adenosine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate (III) which, on treatment with ribonuclease-T2, provides IV. Spleen phosphodiesterase, on the other hand, converts III to 2'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (V). The biological activity of IV, measured by sulfate transfer to [6,7-3H2]estrone as mediated by bovine adrenal estrone sulfotransferase (3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:estrone 3-sulfotransferase, EC 2.8.2.4), is identical with that obtained with a sample of IV prepared by an established biochemical procedure. By contrast, V exhibits approximately one-third the activity of the natural isomer.
