By means of DEAE-Sephadex A-50 Column chromatography, Trimeresurus gramineus venom was separated into twelve fractions. The fibrinogenolytic activities were distributed in Fractions 1 and 10. These enzymes were further purified by gel filtration and were homogeneous as judged by cellulose acetate membrane, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugal analysis. Both of them were single peptide chains. The sedimentation constants of alpha- (Fraction 1) and beta-fibrinogenases (Fraction 10) were 2.20 and 3.60, respectively. The molecular weights of alpha- and beta-fibrinogenases were 23 500 and 25 000 respectively. The contents of proline and glycine were higher in beta-fibrinogenase than in alpha-fibrinogenase. The isoelectric points of alpha-fibrinogenase and beta-fibrinogenase were pH greater than 10 and 4.5, respectively. The optimal pH of alpha-fibrinogenase was approx. 7.4 and that of beta-fibrinogenase was approx. 9.0. The activity of alpha-fibrinogenase was completely destroyed after 30 min at 60 degrees C, pH 5.4, 7.4 and 9.0, while that of beta-fibrinogenase was much less affected by the same treatment. The specific fibrinogenolytic activity alpha-fibrinogenase was 31 mg fibrinogen/min per mg protein, while that of beta-fibrinogenase was 9 mg fibrinogen/min per mg protein. alpha-Fibrinogenase cleaved specifically the alpha(A) chain of monomeric fibrinogen without cleaving the beta(B) chain and gamma-chain. beta-fibrinogenase preferentially cleaved the beta(B) chain, and the alpha(A) chain was also partially cleaved by beta-fibrinogenase, if the incubation time was prolonged. Both enzymes showed proteolytic activities toward fibrinogen, fibrin and casein, but were devoid of phospholipase A, alkaline phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase activities found in the crude venom. The tosyl-L-arginine methylester esterase activity of beta-fibrinogenase was about 14 times that of crude venom, while alpha-fibrinogenase was completely devoid of this activity. The fibrinogenolytic activity of alpha-fibrinogenase was markedly inhibited by EDTA and cysteine, while that of beta-fibrinogenase was inhibited markedly by phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride. alpha- and beta-fibrinogenases exert their fibrinogenolytic activity by a direct action on fibrinogen or fibrin without activation of plasminogen.

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.

A transfer factor-like activity was prepared by Sephadex G-25 chromatography of immune guinea pig leukocyte lysates. This isolated material leads to antigen-dependent migration inhibition and thymidine uptake by nonimmune lymphoid cells. Tests of the "transfer factor" from guinea pigs immunized to either ovalbumin or bovine gamma-globulin demonstrated the donor specificity of the in vitro activity. The activity is susceptible to heat (56 degrees C), alkali (0.5 M sodium hydroxide), pronase, and phosphodiesterase. The pronase susceptibility is blocked by traysylol, a protease inhibitor; the phosphodiesterase susceptibility is not bocked by traysylol. The guinea pig factor was purified further by alkaline phosphatase treatment. Sephadex G-25 chromatography, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The final product, active in vitro, represents about 0.03% of the cellular material absorbing 260 nm light, and contains polymerized amines and phosphate. Gel electrophoresis of the fluram-reactive components suggests a limited heterogeneity of the DEAE-cellulose-purified material. These data are consistent with the active "transfer factor" molecule including both peptide and phosphate-containing components.

Evidence that 32 S nRNA contains 5.8 S rRNA was provided by studies on specific oligonucleotide sequences of these RNA species. Purified 32P-labeled 5.8 and 28 S rRNA and 32 S RNA were digested with T-1 ribonuclease, and the products were fractionated according to chain length by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-25 at neutral pH. The oligonucleotides in Peak 8 were treated with alkaline phosphatase and the products were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis on cellulose acetate at pH 3.5 and DEAE-paper in 7% formic acid. Seven unique oligonucleotide markers for 5.8 S rRNA including the methylated octanucleotide A-A-U-U-Gm-G-A-Gp were present in 32 S RNA but were not found in 28 S rRNA, indicating that 5.8 S rRNA is directly derived from the 32 S nucleolar precursor. These studies confirm a maturation pathway for rRNA species in which 32 S nucleolar RNA is a precursor of 5.8 S rRNA as well as 28 S rRNA.

It is established that the main reason of the riboflavin kinase (RFK, EC 2.7.1.26) low specific activity in the cell-free extracts of the yeast Pichia guillermondii Wickerham ATCC 9058 is the presence of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), effectively destructing flaven mononucleotide. By chromatography of the cell-free extracts of P. guillermondii on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, CM-Sphadex C-50, CM-cellulose, Sephadexes G-75 and G-100 RFK and alkaline phosphatase may be separated completely. Any of these procedures results in a several times increase of the RFK activity as compared with the initial preparation. One failed to obtain a similar effect by fractionation of the extracts with amminium sulphate and by hydroxylapatite chromatography. A simple method is developed for determining the activity of RFK in the cell-free extracts of yeast on the basis of negative adsorption of this enzyme on DEAE-Sephadex A-50. A selective inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by ions Be2+ and F- yields a less satisfactory result. The data are presented on the PFK activity of certain species of flavinogenic (Pichia guillermondii, Torulopsis camdida) and non-flavinogenic (Pichia ohmeri, Candida utilis, Saccharomyces cervisiae) yeast.

The 5'-terminal oligonucleotides m7G(5')ppp(5')NmpNp and m7G(5')ppp(5')NmpNmpNp were isolated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography after enzymatic digestion of 32P- or methyl-3H-labeled poly(A)" HeLa cell mRNA. The recovery of such oligonucleotides indicated that a high percentage of mRNA has blocked termini. The dimethylated nucleoside, N6, O2'-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), as well as the four common 2'-O-methylribonucleosides (Gm, Am, Um, Cm) were present in the second position linked through the triphosphate bridge to 7-methylguanosine (m7G) whereas little m6Am was in the third position. The only internal methylated nucleoside, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), was found exclusively as m6ApC and Apm6ApC after digestion with RNase A, T1, and alkaline phosphatase. Digestion with RNase A and alkaline phat pyrimidines are present in much smaller amounts or absent from this position. These results imply a considerable sequence specificity since there are thousands of different mRNA species in HeLa cells. Our studies are consistent with the following model of HeLa cell mRNA in which Nm may be m6Am, Gm, Cm, Um, or Am and one or more m6A residues are present at an unspecified internal location: m7G(5')ppp(5')Nm-(Nm)---(G or A)-m6A-C---(A)100-200A.

Phosphodiesterase I from the venom of Bothrops atrox has been purified by successive chromatography on phosphocellulose P-11, hydroxyapatite, and DEAE-cellulose DE 52. The final product gave a single band on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels and was free of endonuclease, 5' -nucleotidase, and unspecific alkaline phosphatase activity. It was concentrated in an Amicon ultrafiltrator without loss of activity and could be stored in 10 mM magnesium acetate and 10% glycerol at 4 degrees C for at least a year. Under optimal conditions, the enzyme reaction required 15 mM Mg2+ and a pH of 9.2. Phosphodiesterase I is relatively thermostable and, in the presence of a macromolecular substrate, was not denatured after 4 h at 55 degrees C. The pure enzyme offers new possibilities for sequence studies on highly structured nucleic acids at elevated temperatures.

A procedure is reported for the isolation of cross-linked nucleosides from nitrous acid-treated calf thymus DNA. Cross-linked DNA was hydrolyzed enzymatically with deoxyribonuclease I and snake venom phosphodiesterase and fractionated on a DEAE-Sephadex column. After desalting, the fractions were characterized by ultraviolet spectroscopy, anion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography, gel filtration, and two dimensional thin layer chromatography. A cross-linked dinucleotide, and a series of oligonucleotides were isolated. The oligomers, which had resisted digestion by the above enzyme system, were digested to the nucleoside level by a spleen phosphodiesterase-alkaline phosphatase combination. A second cross-linked product was isolated from this mixture. The cross-linked nucleosides were less than 0.17% of the total nucleotides of the DNA. The methods developed here are recommended for the isolation of products from DNA treated with other cross-linking agents.

Alkaline phosphatase of cultured rat ascites hepatoma cells has been purified by butanol extraction, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, gel filtration through Sephadex G-200, concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Affinity chromatography confirmed the glycoprotein nature of alkaline phosphatase from cultured rat ascites hepatoma cells. Electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels of various concentrations indicated a molecular weight of 290,000. The molecular weight of the subunit was estimated to be 72,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These findings suggest that alkaline phosphatase of cultured rat ascites hepatoma cells is a tetramer with a subunit molecular weight of 72,000.

Isoelectric focusing of plasmodial extracts of Physarum polycephalum demonstrated the presence of several multiple enzyme variants of thymidine kinase, which appear sequentially during the nuclear division cycle. Variants (A) + (A1) are the only enzyme variants found in the late G2-phase, whereas the variants (C) + (C1) are only present at the time of mitosis and S-phase (1, 2). Evidence is presented that multiple forms of thymidine kinase (A) + (A1) with high pI arise by dephosphorylation of a primary translation product with low pI (C and/or C1). The thymidine kinase fractions (A) + (A1) and (C) + (C1) + (c1) were separated and partially purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The enzyme variants (C) + (C1) are converted in vitro by an endogenous enzymatic factor as well as by bacterial alkaline phosphatase into the variants (A) + (A1).
