Hexameric glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from Escherichia coli has been crystallized isomorphously with both phosphate and ammonium sulphate as precipitants, over a wide pH range (6.0 to 9.0). The crystals belong to space group R32 and the cell parameters in the hexagonal setting are a = b = 125.9 A and c = 223.2 A. A complete native data set was collected to 2.1 A resolution. Self-rotation function studies suggest that the hexamers sit on the 3-fold axis and have point group symmetry 32, with a non-crystallographic dyad relating two monomers linked by an interchain disulfide bridge. A possible packing for the unit cell is proposed.

Crystals of ILAP (Irpex lacteus aspartic proteinase) have been obtained by the hanging drop method using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2(1) with cell dimensions a = 54.5 A, b = 79.6 A, c = 37.5 A, beta = 96.8 degrees. The crystals are quite stable to X-rays and diffract beyond 1.9 A resolution. There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit.

Trichomonas vaginalis pyruvate kinase was purified over 1750 fold to a specific activity greater than 100 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1. The enzyme is a tetramer of M(r) 266,000, consisting of subunits of M(r) 53,000 and 56,000 in equivalent amounts. Its activity was dependent on the presence of magnesium but was not stimulated by potassium or ammonium. The enzyme exhibited positive cooperativity towards phosphoenolpyruvate and was inhibited by inorganic phosphate, which increased the sigmoidicity of the saturation curve for phosphoenolpyruvate without affecting maximal activity. It was heterotropically stimulated by ribose 5-phosphate and glycerate 3-phosphate, not previously known to act on eukaryotic pyruvate kinases, but was unaffected by known effectors of most pyruvate kinases, including fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

The two-chain form of active cathepsin D, a glycosylated, lysosomal aspartic proteinase, has been isolated from human liver. Isoelectric focusing revealed two major species of enzyme that differed by approximately 0.2 pI unit. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were prepared from acidic solutions using precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The hexagonal crystals diffracted X-rays to beyond 3.1 A resolution and belonged to space group P6(1) (or P6(5)) with cell constants a = b = 125.9 A, c = 104.1 A, gamma = 120.0 degrees. The crystals likely contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit, giving a solvent content of 56% (v/w). Biochemical analysis of crystals indicated that both isoforms were present in approximately equimolar proportions. Full structure determination of the enzyme is underway.

A panel of three bispecific monoclonal antibodies (bsMAbs) binding to follitropin (FSH) and to beta-galactosidase have been prepared by fusion of hybridoma cell lines resistant to oubain and neomycin. One of these bispecific antibodies contains heavy chains of the same IgG subclass, and two are composed of heavy chains of different IgG subclasses. We have investigated methods for the purification of bispecific antibodies from hybrid hybridoma supernatant fluids grown in serum-free medium. Following ammonium sulfate precipitation, bispecific antibodies can be purified in a single step by mixed mode ion-exchange HPLC on Bakerbond Abx columns. In one case, three species were resolved by ion-exchange HPLC and functional analysis showed that two peaks contained parental antibodies, and the third contained the bispecific. Ion-exchange HPLC purification of serum-free preparations from two other hybrid hybridomas resolved seven protein-containing peaks, only one of which was active in a bispecific ELISA. The equilibrium affinity constants for each of the parental antibodies for both FSH and beta-galactosidase were determined and found to be similar to those of the purified bsMAbs. Further, the association of FSH to one binding site on a bispecific antibody was shown to have no effect on the equilibrium binding constant for beta-galactosidase binding to the other site. Our results suggest that bsMAbs can be readily purified from hybrid hybridomas by a simple and rapid method, and the binding of antigen to one binding site on a bsMAb is independent of antigen binding to the second site.

The proteins associated with the ribosomal subunits having the molecular masses from 158 to 47 kDa were isolated from hyaloplasmic, nucleoid and membrane fractions of Escherichia coli MRE600 cells. The proteins are eliminated from 50S subunits of ribosomes by thrice washing with the 1 M ammonium chloride buffer. 50S subunit proteins were found to be immunologically related to the inner membrane proteins. The native 50S subunits of ribosomes possess the expressed ATP-ase activity, while the washed off subunits lose it completely.

The dimeric glucose oxidase from Penicillium amagasakiense was deglycosylated, purified and crystallized as a complex with its coenzyme FAD. Deglycosylation and purification to isoelectric homogeneity were shown to be an important prerequisite step to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray investigations. Crystals of the deglycosylated enzyme were reproducibly grown using ammonium sulfate as precipitant at pH 7.4 to 7.5. Crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution and belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with refined lattice constants of a = 59.3 A, b = 136.3 A and c = 156.7 A. Assuming two monomers (approximately 135 kDa) per asymmetric unit the Vm value is 2.3 A3/Da.

The mutagenesis of metals in bacteria, as reported in the literature, can best be described as inconsistent. We report that cobalt chloride (Co++), ferrous sulfate (Fe++), manganese sulfate (Mn++), cadmium chloride (Cd++), and zinc chloride (Zn++) could be reproducibly detected as mutagens in Salmonella strain TA97 when preincubation exposures were made in sterile, distilled, deionized water, or in Hepes buffer in NaCl2/KCl2, rather than the standard sodium phosphate buffer. Co++ was also mutagenic under standard preincubation conditions. The individual components of Vogel-Bonner medium, i.e., potassium and ammonium phosphate, citrate, and magnesium sulfate, inhibit mutagenesis by these metals. The phosphates and the citrate probably inhibit by chelating the metals, while data are presented to suggest that Mg++ inhibition of metal mutagenesis is due to competitive inhibition for active transport via the magnesium active transport system in Salmonella. The chelator, diethyldithiocarbamate, inhibited the mutagenicity of Co++, Fe++, Zn++, and Mn++, but enhanced the mutagenicity of Cd++. The results presented show that divalent metals can be detected as mutagens in Salmonella, and that their lack of detection as mutagens is not due to an inherent insensitivity of Salmonella but to their interaction with media components and/or passive and active transport processes.

DNA polymerase alpha from germinated wheat embryos was purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl, followed by phosphocellulose and heparin Sepharose columns. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was more than 60,000 units/mg. It belongs to the alpha-type according to the large molecular mass, high sensitivity to NEM, aphidicoline, 200 mM KCl, low sensitivity to ethidium bromide and the absence of inhibition by ddTTP. DNA polymerase alpha consists of four subunits as shown by SDS-PAGE and seems to be homogeneous under non-denaturing conditions.

Lipase from Pseudomonas glumae has been purified and crystallized in two forms, using the hanging drop method of vapour diffusion at 4 degrees C and 15 degrees C. Both forms grew at pH 9.0 from 0.1 M-Tris buffer in the presence of 10% (v/v) acetone. Form 1 was crystallized from 27 to 29% polyethylene glycol in the presence of less than 0.5% (v/v) n-dodecyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. Form 2 was grown from 17 to 19% ammonium sulphate in the presence of 1% n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. Form 1 is orthorhombic with space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), and cell dimensions of a = 158.1 A, b = 158.6 A, c = 63.4 A, Form 2 is tetragonal with space group P4(1)2(1)2 (or P4(3)2(1)2) and cell dimensions of a = 89.3 A, c = 180.4 A. Form 1 probably has four molecules per asymmetric unit and diffracts to at least 2.5 A. Form 2 has two molecules per asymmetric unit and diffracts to at least 3.0 A.
