Enzyme mediated binding of carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate) to rat hepatic microsomes occurred in vitro in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and oxygen and was inhibited by nitrogen, carbon monoxide, reduced glutathione, cysteine, N-ethyl maleimide, and 2-diethylaminoethyl-2,2'-diphenylvalerate-HCl (SKF 525-A). Binding was markedly increased, 2- to 3-fold, by pretreatment of animals with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene and appeared to be dependent on the production of an active metabolite which was formed oxidatively in liver microsomes by cytochrome P-450 mixed-function oxidases. SDS-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis of ether-extracted, solublized microsomes and the distribution of radioactivity after Pronase digestion, treatment with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, and extraction with ethyl acetate and ether at pH 9 and 1 indicated that the radiolabeled products were covalently bound to amino acid residues of microsomal protein.

A neutral protease with kininogenase activity was isolated from human polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes by cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The protease appears heterogeneous by cation exchange chromatography, isoelectric focusing and cationic disc gel electrophoresis, but homogeneous by gel filtration, sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, SDS-disc gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis. By carrying out the electrophoresis of the protease in acrylamide gels of varying concentrations, it was shown that they represent charge isomers. The protease was stable at pH 4-10, but labile to heat, being almost completely inactivated when incubated for 30 min at 70 degrees C. It exhibited proteolytic activity between pH 5 and 9, being maximal at 7.5-8.5. The molecular weight of the PMN protease was estimated to be about 20,000 daltons by gel filtration in aqueous buffer and about 26,000-28,000 daltons by SDS-disc gel electrophoresis and gel filtration in Sepharose 6B in the presence of the dissociating agent guanidine HCl. Its sedimentation coefficient was about 2.7S. Corresponding to the charge heterogeneity, by isoelectric focusing, the kinin-generating and esterolytic activities of the PMN granule lysate focused between pH 6.0 and 11.5, whereas the isolated PMN protease focused between 10.0 and 11.8. With respect to kinin generation, caseinolysis, and alanine esterase activity, the protease was inhibited by DFP and certain chloromethyl ketone inhibitors, as well as the plasma protease inhibitory a1-antitrypsin, a2-macroglobulin and antithrombin III. Both bradykinin and a methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin-like peptide were generated from highly purified kininogens by a lysosomal lysate containing the PMN protease. However, this assay was done with a crude enzyme preparation which contains an aminopeptidase capable of converting lysyl-bradykinin or methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin to bradykinin. When injected intradermally, the protease induced hyperemia, hemorrhage, and moderate enhancement of vascular permeability, but the mixture of the protease and kininogen induced a marked enhancement of vascular permeability.

1. A procedure is described which gives clean chromatin preparations from the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It involves homogenization using glass beads, collection of the precipitate from a low speed centrifugation, removal of cell membranes with Triton X-100, several washes with 0.14 M NaCl, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, a cycle of extraction and reprecipitation using dilute Tris buffer and 0.14 M NaCl respectively, and final extraction of the purified deoxyribonucleoprotein in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8). 2. Acidic urea gel electrophoresis of the histones from C. elegans yielded 4 main groups which were preliminary identified as H1, H2a (+ H3?), H2b, H4 and moved on the gels in that order of increasing mobility. the coincidence of histone H3 with H2a was putative, but its presence was firmly suggested by the generation of a dimeric form in oxidizing conditions. 3. By SDS-Tris-glycine gel electrophoresis of the non-histone chromosomal proteins of C. elegans, about 18 proteins were distinguished with molecular weights ranging from 15,000 to 100,000 daltons.

The Bacillus cereus protein has been obtained from culture fluid in homogenic form as indicated by SDS-disc electrophoresis and immunodiffusion not described before. The protein has a molecular weight of 100000 daltons. Purification was accomplished by the following steps: (1) removal of ballast nitrous components with DE-32 cellulose at pH 7.2; (2) removal of the proteins from the culture filtrate (deluted four times by water) with DE-32 cellulose at pH 8.6; (3) elution by 0.005 M tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.0 containing 0.5 M NaCl; (4) column rechromatography on DE-32 cellulose at pH 8.6. The isolated protein was identified as a vascular permeability factor acording to the bluing zone in rabbit skin tests or to the bluing lung tissue in mice.

Virus-induced polypeptides in cells infected with vaccinia, cowpox and Shope fibroma viruses were examined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. At least 42 vaccinia virus-induced polypeptides were identified among the polypeptides of cells pulse-labeled with [35S]-methionine and/or of fractionated cells labeled with [14C]-leucine for 24 hr. They consisted of 15 polypeptides (early polypeptides) which were synthesized even in the presence of cytosine-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-HCl, and 27 polypeptides (late polypeptides) which were synthesized only in the absence of cytosine-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-HCl. By the same procedure at least 40 cowpox virus-induced polypeptides (14 early polypeptides and 26 late polypeptides) and at least 31 Shope fibroma virus-induced polypeptides (13 early polypeptides and 18 late polypeptides) were identified. Comparative studies of virus-induced polypeptides on the basis of migration in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that 11 polypeptides were early polypeptides common to both vaccinia and cowpox viruses; 21 were late polypeptides common to both vaccinia and cowpox viruses; 4 were early polypeptides common to both vaccinia and Shope fibroma viruses; 7 were late polypeptides common to both vaccinia and Shope fibroma viruses; 5 were early polypeptides common to both cowpox and Shope fibroma viruses; 9 were late polypeptides common to both cowpox and Shope fibroma viruses; 4 were early polypeptides common to all three viruses; and 7 were late polypeptides common to all three viruses.

We have developed a new technique to solubilize apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in aqueous solutions. The procedure involves stirring ApoB in 6 M guanidine/20 mM NH4Cl/NH4OH in the presence of cupric ammonia complexes at pH 9.7 for 20 h in N2, and then removing these reagents by a series of dialysis in N2. The resulting Cu(NH3)4(2)+-treated (Cu2+-treated) ApoB is soluble in aqueous buffers of pH above 8.3 or below 3. Parallel experiments carried out on control proteins, human albumin, alpha-lactalbumin, and insulin, indicated no change in molecular weight and no creation of a new NH2-terminal amino acid after Cu2+-treatment. By Edman degradation, the Cu2+-treated ApoB showed no detectable NH2-terminal amino acid. These results showed that the mechanism of Cu2+-solubilization of ApoB was not due to the cleavage of peptide bonds. Electrophoresis on urea-polyacrylamide gel, Cu2+-treated ApoB showed the same number of bands as the non-treated ApoB in the separating gels (7%) near the cathode, suggesting the heterogeneity of ApoB. In SDS-polyacrylamide gel (10%), the reduced and Cu2+-treated ApoB migrated with the similar mobilities to the monomer or dimer of human albumin. Antibodies raised against Cu2+-treated ApoB gave at least two immunoprecipitin lines against the Cu2+-treated ApoB as well as the non-treated guanidine-HCl-soluble ApoB, suggesting the presence of non-identical subunits.

Ribulose-diphosphate carboxylase from Thiobacillus novellus has been purified to hemogeneity as observed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and U.V. light observation during sedimentation velocity analysis. The optimum pH for the enzyme with Tris-HCl buffers was about 8.2. Concentrations of this buffer in excess of 80 mM were inhibitory. The apparent Km for RuDP was about 14.8 muM with a Hill value of 1.5, for HCO3- the apparent Km was about 11.7 mM with an n value of 1.18 and for Mg2+ about 0.61 mM. The enzyme was specific for this cation. Relatively high concentrations of either Hg2+ or pCMB were required before significant inhibition was observed. Activity declined slowly during a 4-hr incubation period in either 3.0 M or 8.0 M urea. Incubation for 12 hrs resulted in complete loss of activity which was not prevented by 10 mM Mg2+ and was not reversed by dialysis and subsequent addition of 10 mM cysteine. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a loss of the major band and the appearance of 2 new bands. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave an average M.W. of 73500 +/- 2500 for the slower moving band and 12250 +/- 2500 for the faster moving. However, incubation in urea for up to 40 hrs revealed a decrease in the M.W. of the slower moving band to about 60000. The Ea for the enzyme was calculated to be about 18.85 kcal mole-1, with the possibility of a "break" between 40 and 50 degrees C. The Q10 was 3.07 between 20 and 30 degrees C whereas between 30 to 40 degrees C it was 3.31. Only phosphorylated compounds caused significant inhibition of enzyme activity. They included ADP, FDP, F6P, G6P, PEP, 6PG, 2-PGA, R1P, R5P, and Ru5p.

A protein moiety from epidermal PBS-soluble products was isolated by gel filtration (Bio-Gel A-1.5m) and ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-cellulose). This protein (A-1-Epid) was not retarded by DEAE-cellulose in Tris-HCl buffer, 15mM, pH 8.1. By IEP against an antiserum to epidermal antigens, it showed a single cathodal arc. On disc electrophoresis, at low pH (4.3) a single band was apparent. On SDS gels this protein demonstrated two bands, one with a molecular weight of 20,000, and the second with a molecular weight of 9,200. This purified antigen was able to block the staining of the basement membrane zone produced by bullous pemphigoid antibodies on monkey esophagus and normal human skin with the use of indirect immunofluorescence. This study also demonstrates that bullous pemphigoid antigen (A-1-Epid) and a second epidermal protein (A-2-Epid) are present in the PBS-soluble products of human esophageal mucosa, saliva, and urine. These antigens appear to be unrelated with the blood group substances or secretor status of the donors.

The testosterone-binding globulin (TeBG) from bovine serum was purified by affinity chromatography and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The affinity column used was prepared by coupling 17 alpha-carboxyethynyl-17-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one to aminoethyl-Sepharose. The compound was replaceable by 17alpha-carboxyethynyl-17-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-3-one, but not by testosterone 17-hemisuccinate, estradiol 17-hemisuccinate, or testosterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime. The TeBG isolated was homogeneous on analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and equilibrium centrifugation. The protein was a glycoprotein having a molecular weight of 89,500 and a carbohydrate content of 17%. The association constant (M-1) at 4 degrees C was 1.1 X 10(8) and the number of binding sites per molecule was 0.8. Treatment with guanidine-HCl dissociated the protein into subunits having a molecular weight of 28,400 (about one-third of that of the original molecule). SDS-gel electrophoresis showed that two of the three subunits were slightly larger than the other. The dissociation into subunits could also be accomplished by GEDTA treatment with concomitant loss of testosterone-binding activity. The activity and molecular size were reversibly restored by incubation with excess Ca2+.

Electron microscopic observations and measurements were made on thin-sectioned chromatin fibers and fibrils obtained from nuclei of mature chicken erythrocytes. The nuclei were isolated in low ionic strength gum arabic and octanol then extracted sequentially with (1) 0.14 M NaCl, (2) 0.25 N HCl, (3) buffer saturated phenol, (4) hot 5% SDS and 0.14 M 2-mercaptoethanol and, (5) 0.4 N NaOH. The amount of nuclear protein removed at each of the first four extraction steps was 1, 86, 3 and 11% of the total, respectively. Each extract was characterized by electrophoretic profiles. At each extraction the chromatin was fixed by adding large quantities of a mixture of equal volumes of sodium cacodylate buffered 8% (w/v) glutaraldehyde (pH 6.8) and 2% OsO4 (w/v), directly into (1) an aliquot of the chromatin in extraction fluid, and (2) an aliquot of the chromatin after water washing and swelling. Three size classes of chromatin structure were seen in thin sections prepared for high resolution transmission electron microscopy and stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. A thick fiber of about 25 + nm diameter was the predominant large fiber seen in freshly isolated nuclei or in nuclei after salt extraction. This 25 + nm fiber has a substructure consisting of 3.2-5.2 nm diameter fibrils. After water swelling of such freshly isolated or salt extracted nuclei a fiber of about 10 nm diameter was the predominant large fiber instead of the 25 nm diameter fiber. The HCl extraction step which is known to remove histones, caused the disappearance of both the 25 nm and the 10 nm fibers. High magnification (600,000 x) micrographs of the chromatin at all procedural steps, except the last NaOH step, reveal the fibril to be omnipresent. This fibril tends to decrease somewhat in diameter during the protein extraction steps to a 2.5 nm diameter fibril after the hot SDS extraction. A fibril of 2.5 nm diameter is expected of naked double helical DNA stained with a positive stain. The NaOH, which is known to denature DNA, completely destroyed the remaining fibril. We inerpret our results to indicate that the larger chromatin fiber seen in micrographs of thin-sectioned chromatin has a fibrillar substructure which probably represents a double coil of native DNA which may have a thin protein coating of its own. The latter fibril may in turn be wrapped around a hydrophobic histone domain, perhaps reflected in the 10 nm diameter fiber which is seen upon swelling of the chromatin. This 10 nm diameter fiber is thought to be further packaged by folding into the 25 + nm diameter chromatin fiber most frequently reported in thin sections of eukaryotic cell nuclei in situ.
