The dissociation constant for the complex of rhodanese and Cibacron Blue, determined by analytical affinity chromatography using rhodanese immobilized on controlled-pore glass (CPG) beads (200 nm pore diameter) and aminohexyl-Cibacron Blue, was 44 microM which agreed well with the kinetic inhibition constant, suggesting that the dye binds at or near the active site of this enzyme. Formation of a binary complex of the dye and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was also characterized by direct chromatography of LDH on CPG/immobilized Cibacron Blue (KD = 0.29 microM). The binary complex formed between LDH and NADH was characterized by analytical affinity chromatography using both CPG/immobilized LDH and immobilized Cibacron Blue. Since the dye competes with NADH in binding to the active site of LDH, competitive elution chromatography using the immobilized dye allows determination of the dissociation constant of the soluble LDH.NADH complex. Agreement between the dissociation constants determined by direct chromatography of NADH on immobilized LDH (KD = 1.4 microM) and that determined for the soluble complex (KD = 2.4 microM) indicates that immobilization of LDH did not affect the interaction. Formation of various binary, ternary and quaternary complexes of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) with glutamate, NADPH, NADH, and ADP was also investigated using immobilized GDH. This approach allows characterization of the enzyme/ligand interactions without the complicating effect of enzyme self-association. The affinity for NADPH is considerably greater in the ternary complex (including glutamate) as compared to the binary complex (0.38 microM vs 22 microM); however, occupancy of the regulatory site by ADP greatly reduces the affinity in both complexes (6.4 microM and 43 microM, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The occurrence of soluble reduced nicotinamide nucleotide:acceptor oxidoreductases has been reported in a number of strains of the oxygen-tolerant anaerobe Trichomonas vaginalis and other trichomonad species. The quantitatively more important enzyme in most strains of T. vaginalis is an NADH oxidase which produces water from the reduction of oxygen. This enzyme has been purified by a combination of gel filtration, chromatofocusing, Cibacron Blue chromatography and high pressure gel permeation chromatography. It is a monomeric protein with an estimated molecular mass from sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis of 98 kDa; an isoelectric point of approximately pH 5.5 and a Km for NADH of 5.4 microM. The purified NADH oxidase is significantly inactivated during turnover under air (t1/2 3.65 min) and rapidly inactivated by microM levels of hydrogen peroxide. The NADPH-dependent minor activity requires a flavin. It has been partially purified by gel filtration and chromatofocusing. The apparent molecular mass of this enzyme is 36 kDa by gel filtration; it has an isoelectric point of approximately pH 5.2 and Km values for NADPH and FMN of 16.6 microM and 6.1 microM respectively. The product of oxygen reduction by this enzyme, using FMN as acceptor is hydrogen peroxide. The possible role of these two enzymes in the cell and their affinity with related enzymes from other organisms is discussed.

The interaction of the catalytic subunit of bovine cardiac muscle cAMP-dependent protein kinase with N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-8), the most potent and selective inhibitor toward cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases in the series of isoquinolinesulfonamide derivatives, was studied. The addition of H-8 protected the catalytic subunit of the enzyme in a dose-dependent manner from irreversible inactivation by the ATP analogue p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl-5'-adenosine (FSBA). The inactivation followed pseudo-first order kinetics and H-8 reduced the steady state constant of inactivation (Ki) without any effect on the first order rate constant (K3). The quantitative binding of H-8 to the enzyme was measured under conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium using a gel filtration method. The catalytic subunit bound approximately 1 mol of drug/mol of protein with apparent half-maximal binding at 1.0 microM drug, whereas the enzyme irreversibly modified by FSBA did not bind the drug, confirming that the enzyme has no site for H-8 in the catalytic subunit other than the active site. The binding studies also showed that H-8 does not require divalent cations such as Mg2+ to bind to the catalytic subunit of the protein kinase. The binding of H-8 to the active site was characterized using FSBA and other affinity labeling reagents which have been postulated to modify residues at or near the active site of the catalytic subunit. H-8 protected the enzyme against inactivation by FSBA and Cibacron Blue F3GA but did not afford any protection against the covalent modification of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl), suggesting that the binding site of H-8 does not involve the gamma-subsite of the ATP binding site in the catalytic subunit, since DTNB and NBD-Cl are thought to modify the residues complementary to gamma-phosphate of the ATP molecules.

Several "specific" inhibitors of P2 purinergic receptors (purinoceptors) were evaluated for their ability to inhibit purified chicken gizzard cell membrane ecto-ATPase. The P2 purinoceptor antagonists tested included suramin, triazine based reactive textile dyes, and non-specific total protein dyes. All inhibited the purified ecto-ATPase, with half maximal inhibition from approximately 20 to 120 microM. Thin layer chromatography purified Cibacron Blue 3GA, also known as Reactive Blue 2, was demonstrated to inhibit immunopure ecto-ATPase with an IC50 of 44 microM. Thus, for the first time, these compounds used to pharmacologically classify the subtypes of P2 purinoceptors are demonstrated to have direct inhibitory effects on purified ecto-ATPase. Therefore, data generated using these compounds on purinoceptors must be interpreted in light of their direct inhibitory effect on the ecto-ATPase found in the same tissues.

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) from Rana ridibunda erythrocytes was purified about 570-fold by column chromatography on Cibacron Blue Sepharose. The resulting enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 1.94 U/mg protein and a pH maximum of 7.6. The molecular weight as determined by HPLC chromatography was 330,000 Da. The S0.5 value for fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) was 5.6 mM and the Km for ATP 0.87 mM. The enzyme was sensitive to inhibition by ATP which was increased with lower F6P concentrations. At physiological levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (0.35 mumol/ml RBC), 20% of PFK activity was inhibited. Significant activations under cellular conditions were exercised by AMP and, to a lesser extent, by Pi. Micromolar concentrations of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and glucose-1,6-bisphosphate were also potent activators of the erythrocyte enzyme. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (10-50) microM activated the enzyme to a limited extent. With respect to these effects, it is suggested that PFK is a significant enzyme in regulating the glycolytic flux of Rana ridibunda red blood cells. The existence of a regulatory mechanism controlled by the energy status of the red cell, as well as the state of oxygenation of haemoglobin, is discussed, in which PFK occupies a central role.

Two alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes, namely ADH-1 and ADH-2 from Ceratitis capitata were purified to homogeneity and further characterized. After ammonium sulphate precipitation from an extract of whole third instar larvae, the two isozymes were separated by ion exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose. A combination of affinity chromatography, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography was then used to purify each isozyme (50 and 57 times with 53 and 58% yields, for ADH-1 and -2 respectively). A crucial step for obtaining homogeneous enzyme preparations was affinity chromatography on Cibacron Blue Sepharose coupled with specific elution with NAD. Each of the isozymes is a dimer with subunit molecular weight of approximately 27 kDa. Both isozymes show a pH optimum of 9.6. ADH-1 proved to be immunochemically similar to ADH-2 when tested by Western blot analysis using polyclonal antibodies raised against ADH-1. While crude extracts of Dacus oleae ADH cross-react with these antibodies, no cross reactivity was observed with Drosophila melanogaster extracts. The sequence of a 22-residue peptide from ADH-1 was determined and showed 36% identity with residues 26-47 of the Drosophila melanogaster ADH sequence. Both the sizes of the purified proteins and the observed sequence similarity between ADH-1 and Drosophila ADH strongly suggest that the medfly ADH isozymes belong to the family of short chain dehydrogenases.

Bovine sperm motility and respiration were stimulated by the triazine dye Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB), which may operate as a nucleotide mimic. CB stimulation of respiration was half-maximal at about 35 microM and respiration reached maximal levels about 1.5 minutes after CB addition. Respiratory stimulation was preceded by a transient increase in cytosolic cAMP. Sperm cAMP titers were elevated from 5 to 10 pmoles/10(8) cells within 30 seconds of CB addition, but rapidly dropped to a stable level of about 7.5 pmoles/10(8) cells. CB was a potent inhibitor of sperm membrane adenylyl cyclase and inhibited respiration in permeabilized cells. Taken together, the data indicated that CB stimulation was not manifested via the cytosol. In addition, a nonpermeant blue dextran preparation synthesized with CB also stimulated sperm respiration and motility. CB inhibited sperm membrane phosphodiesterase activity, suggesting that the transient pulse of cAMP resulted from CB interaction with this enzyme in the sperm membrane.

A novel highly efficient method of purification of DNA-hydrolyzing antibodies from sera of patients with lymphoproliferative diseases was developed. The method suggests purification of serum sample using Cibacron Blue 3GA, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose FF, PrG affinity chromatography and selection of the DNA-binding fraction on DNA-Sephacryl. The application of the method allows to obtain the stable and active polyclonal preparation with increased content of DNA-hydrolyzing antibodies characterized by specific binding constant determined using heteropolymeric oligonucleotide substrate. The unusual properties of anti-DNA catalytic antibodies in respect to their interactions with DEAE ion exchanger are discussed.

Affinity precipitation is being studied as a technique to be introduced at an early stage of downstream processing for the selective isolation of proteins. The technique utilizes a heterobifunctional ligand, which, in addition to having affinity for the target protein(s), possesses another function for controlling precipitation. The latter component is comprised of a polymer which can be made reversibly soluble and insoluble by altering a specific parameter such as pH or temperature. Different polymers of natural and synthetic origin have been used for this purpose. The soluble form of the ligand is used for the affinity binding step and precipitation is induced for obtaining separation of the affinity complex. Some of the polymers used in this laboratory include chitosan, alginate, Eudragit S-100 (copolymer of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate) and polyethyleneimine. Chitosan and alginate served as natural ligands for wheat germ agglutinin and pectinase, respectively. The aromatic dye Cibacron Blue 3GA coupled to Eudragit S 100 and polyethyleneimine way used for the affinity precipitation of some model enzymes such as lactate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase. As prior removal of cell debris, etc., is essential for affinity precipitation, the possibility of integration of the technique with extraction in aqueous two-phase systems was also demonstrated.

A competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with antigen immobilized on the solid phase was developed to measure alpha 2-macroglobulin in rat serum. The cross reactivity with albumin and hemoglobin was eliminated by use of IgG fractions that were isolated after chromatography on Cibacron Blue F3-GA Sepharose immobilized rat whole serum and hemoglobin Sepharose. Blocking materials and pH of the coating buffer had no effect on the amount of alpha 2-macroglobulin that binds to the plate. When the coating amount of alpha 2-macroglobulin was 100 ng/well, at pH 7.4, 10 mM Tris-HCl containing 150 mM sodium chloride and the IgG amount added was 60 ng/well, then albumin and hemoglobin did not affect the assay at concentrations of 150 micrograms/ml or 200 micrograms/ml. This assay is useful for measuring the concentration of alpha 2-macroglobulin in normal and irradiated rat serum.
