A method of isolation of alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha-1-AT) in good yield from normal human plasma is described. A key step was affinity chromatography employing an antiserum which had been depleted of alpha-1-AT antibodies. The final preparations were homogeneous by immunological and physicochemical criteria. The specific activity of the purified alpha-1-AT was 0.363 mg of active bovine trypsin inhibited per 1.0 mg of inhibitor. Polyacrylamide gel patterns at both alkaline and acid pH of highly pure preparations frequently, but not invariably, showed multiple hands. Molecular weight studies by sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation in aqueous buffer and in 6 M guanidine as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggest that alpha-1-AT is a single polypeptide chain having a molecular weight of 49,500. Other physical and chemical properties of the inhibitor are described. A limited N-terminal sequence (Glu-Asp-Pro-Gln-Gly-Asx-Ala-Ala) was obtained. It was found that alpha-1-AT easily forms polymers and higher aggregates when exposed to denaturing agents such as 8 M urea and 6 M guanidine. The results suggest that aggregation is determined by both covalent and noncovalent forces.

The specificity of lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination for the proteins of the hepatoma tissue culture cell plasma membrane was examined by histochemical, biochemical, and cell fractionation techniques. Light microscope autoradiography of sectioned cells shows the incorporated label to be localized primarily at the periphery of the cell. Most of this label can be released from the cell by trypsin but not by collagenase or hyaluronidase. The label is recovered from the cells as either monoiodotyrosine or diiodotyrosine after hydrolysis of cell extracts with a mixture of proteolytic enzymes. The label co-purifies during cell fractionation with an authentic liver cell plasma membrane marker enzyme, 5'-nucleotidase. Thus, the incorporated iodide is itself a valid marker for those membrane polypeptides having tyrosine residues accessible to the lactoperoxidase. The polypeptide complexity of the purified plasma membrane was examined by high resolution dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At least 50 polypeptides in the membrane are accessible to iodination. These polypeptides probably represent the bulk of the protein mass of the membrane and iodinating them does not affect cell viability, growth rate, or cell function. Labeling experiments with fucose and glucosamine show that at least nine of the iodinated peptides may be glycoproteins.

1. At 21 degrees C incubation of NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase (Complex 1) with trypsin caused selective inhibition of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase activity. The reduction of K3Fe(CN)6 by NADH or NADPH was unaffected, but a slow decrease in the rate of reduction of ubiquinone-1 by NADH was observed. 2. The pH-dependence of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase activity differed in Complex I and trypsin-treated Complex I. The trypsin-labile activity had a pH optimum of approx. 6.5, whereas the trypsin-resistant activity had a pH optimum of approx. 5.5 or less. 3. The trypsinlabile transhydrogenase activity was specifically inhibited by butanedione or phenylglyoxal and was identified with the enzyme catalysing energy-linked transhydrogenase activity in submitochondrial particles. 4. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate revealed that trypsin caused degradation of a polypeptide of mol.wt 20500 in parallel with the loss of transhydrogenase activity. 5. At 30 degrees C and higher trypsin concentrations, the rate of reduction of K3Fe(CN)6 by NADH or NADPH slowly decreased. Increased lability of NADH-K3Fe(CN)6 reductase activity to trypsin was observed when the endogenous phospholipid of Complex I was depleted by detergent or phospholipase A treatment. 6. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that removal of phospholipid allowed much more extensive degradation of constituent polypeptides by trypsin. The subunits of the low-molecular-weight (type II) dehydrogenase (53000 and 26000 mol.wt.) were, however, relatively resistant to trypsin even in phospholipid-depleted preparations.

The G-200 flow-through fraction of the extract of sea urchin eggs contained a complex form of glutathione reductase (GR) [EC 1.6.4.2]. The complex was unstable and gradually dissociated with ain increase in GR activity. The activation was facilitated by high concentrations of EDTA, KCI or (NH4)2SO4. The rate of activation by salts was apparently dependent on the ionic strength. The complex form was also activated rather quickly by treatment with proteinases such as trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4], alpha-chymotrypsin [EC 3.4.21.1] or subtilisin [EC 3.4.21.14]. Trypsin caused the complex to release the free form of GR. Even after trypsin treatment, little change was observed in the dependence of the GR activity on GSSG or NADPH concentration. The GR activity of the complex form was not inhibited at all by 0.2 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) in the presence of GSSG, but was reduced to 3% in the presence of NADPH. When excess NEM was sequestered with GSH, the NEM-treated complex form was strikingly activated by trypsin, while no activation was detected with the free form of enzyme pretreated with NEM. These results suggest that the active site of GR in the complex form is largely masked by a polypeptide moiety of theinhbitiory component.

Mammary tumor cell growth factor(s) has been identified in extracts of platelets from both male and female rats, as well as in extracts prepared from pooled outdated human platelets. When assayed by the growth promotion of MTW9/PL rat mammary tumor cells in culture, platelet extracts alone were able to support growth 50--75% as well as whole serum. The mitogenic activity from crude human platelet lysates was shown to be trypsin sensitive, relatively stable to extremes of pH, labile to heat treatment at 70 degrees, non-dialysable, ammonium sulfate precipitable, not removed by 56 degrees charcoal treatment, and of apparent molecular weight of 30,000 to 50,000 daltons as estimated by G-100 Sephadex chromatography. The platelet derived mammary growth factor activity was not replaced or potentiated by thrombin or known hormones and growth factors such as prolactin, insulin, 17-beta-estradiol, progesterone, hydrocortisone, L-thyroxine, and mouse epidermal growth factor. The experimental report demonstrates that platelets are a rich source growth factor activity for rat epithelial mammary tumor cells, and that the activity appears to be a polypeptide(s) different from other mitogenic activities known to influence growth of mammary tissue.

Properties of a proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) accompanying ovine colostral IgG2 are described. PRP is soluble at 4 degrees C but reversibly precipitates by warming to room temperature. Maximal precipitation is observed at pH = 4.6, temp. 48 degrees C, and ionic strength higher than 0.6. There is a linear dependence of precipitation on concentration of PRP. Molecular weight of PRP is 38,000 daltons. It is not changed in the presence of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride, SH-compounds, and in the presence or absence of metal ions. PRP is built of one polypeptide chain. No difference in proteolysis of IgG2 by pepsin, papain and trypsin in the absence or presence of PRP was found.

An extracellular cycloamylose (cyclodextrin) glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19) from Bacillus macerans was purified to homogeneity by adsorption on starch, ammonium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 67,000 and consisted of one polypeptide chain. The isoelectric point was pH 5.4. Temperature and pH optima were 60 degrees and 5.4--5.8, respectively. The purified enzyme was quite stable at 50 degrees (pH 6.0), but lost approximately 80% of its activity at 60 degrees for 30 min (pH 6.0). Prolonged digestion by trypsin did not affect the catalytic properties of the enzyme. The Km for starch was 5.7 mg/ml.

1. The cell-membrane ATP phosphohydrolase of vegetatively grown Clostridium pasteurianum was specifically Mg2+-dependent, but demonstrated significant activity with GTP, CTP and UTP. It displayed approximate Michaelis-Menten kinetics only in the presence of certain effectors (e.g. phosphoenolpyruvate, fructose 1,6-bis-phosphate) which decreased the Km for ATP (to below 2 mM) but also V, whilst extending to pH 5.8 the effective pH range of activity of the enzyme. 2. ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase (BF0F1) was inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, efrapeptin, leucinostatin and quercetin, and to a lesser degree by aurovertin and citreoviridin. The enzyme was not inhibited by oligomycin, spegazzinine, tributyl tin, triethyl tin or venturicidin. The soluble ATPase (BF1) component differed in not being inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423 or leucinostatin. 3. The ATPase (BF0F1) complex and its soluble (BF1) component were separately purified. 4. Dodecylsulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated only four polypeptide components in the purified ATPase (BF0F1), with approximate molecular weights (+/- 10%) as follows: subunit a, 65 500; subunit c, 57 500; subunit da, 43 000; subunit fa, 15 000. The soluble (BF1 component contained only the three polypeptide subunits a, c and da. These were present in the BF0F1 preparation in the ratio 2 : 1 : 2; the contribution of subunit fa could not satisfactorily be quantified. 5. Subunit a was identified as the component binding 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subunit fa as the component binding N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase was not activated by trypsin treatment and the ATPase (BF0F1) contained no trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein subunit. 6. Purified ATPase (BF0F1) was incorporated into artificial proteoliposomes which demonstrated ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence and ATP-dependent proton influx. These reactions were abolished by proton conductors (e.g. carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) by valinomycin in the presence of a high external concentration of K+, or by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan or leucinostatin. Oligomycin, tributyl tin, triethyl tin and venturicidin were not inhibitory. 7. When stripped of the soluble BF1 component, such ATPase-proteoliposomes demonstrated nil ATP phosphohydrolase activity and did not display ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilino-naphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence or ATP-dependent protein influx. All of these activities were restored by incubation of the BF1-depleted proteoliposomes with a purified preparation of the soluble BF1 component.

A 60,000-dalton polypeptide (p60) has been identified in the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) pseudotype of Moloney sarcoma virus [MSV(FeLV)]. This polypeptide is present in the purified virus complex in concentrations greater than either the murine p30 or the feline p27. Purified p60 crossreacts immunologically with murine p30 group antiserum and contains several interspecies determinants, whereas the group specific determinant of FeLV p27 is not detected. Comparison of peptide fingerprints of p60 and murine p30 show many peptides in common. Limited digestion of p60 with either trypsin or chymotrypsin produced p30-35 and p20 peptides which retain the MuLV p30 group and interspecies antigenic activities. The p30 produced by both enzymes comigrates in polyacrylamide gels with the murine p30 of MSV(FeLV), thus suggesting that p60 may be an uncleaved precursor to p30.
