A new method for two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins is described. The method, illustrated here by its application for the analysis of ribosomal proteins of E. coli, has a high resolving power. The proteins S15 and S16 can be resolved either following alkylation or under reducing conditions. This was not possible with urea gel systems previously employed. The method should be advantageous in the identification of the components of dimers formed with the reagent methyl 4-mercaptobutyrimidate. An additional advantage of the new method is that both dimensions are run at an acidic pH. For ribosomal proteins it is therefore unnecessary to either polymerize the protein sample in the middle of the first dimension disc gel or to electrophorese two samples with opposite polarity.

E. Coli ribosomal 16S RNA prepared by an acetic acid-urea extraction technique individually binds, in addition to the seven established proteins, 6 new 30S ribosomal proteins (S3, S5, S9, S12, S18 and S11) (Hochkeppel et al., 1976). In this communication we demonstrate the site specificity of these proteins. Binding curves of the individual proteins with acetic acid-urea 16S RNA show that the binding of all six proteins to the RNA reaches a plateau at 0.3-0.97 copies per 16S RNA molecule. No significant binding of these proteins to classicial phenol extracted 16S RNA is observed, with the exception of S13 which binds 0.2 copies of protein per molecule of 16S RNA. Specificity of binding of these proteins is also demonstrated in "chase" experiments. The site specificity of individual [3H]-labeled 30S proteins bounds to 16S RNA is tested by the addition of non-radioactive 30S total protein to the reaction mixture.

The composition of structural proteins of lambdoid phages such as lambda, phi 80 434 divided by molecular weights was determined by means of SDS-disc-electrophoresis in a 15% polyacrylamide gel. The proteins of the same phages were divided by isoelectric points using an isoelectric focusing in a 5,25% polyacrylamide gel with 8 M urea and a gradient pH 7.0--3.5. The both methods brought out a composition character of the virion proteins and illustrated the high degree of similarity among the structural proteins of phages lambda and 434 and a far less similarity among the proteins lambda and phi 80. The antigenic composition of the lambdoid phage was determined and the basic antigenes were identified on one-dimensional and two-dimensional immunoelectrophoregrams. The appreciable immunochemical affinity of basic antigenes of the lambda and 434, but a partial affinity of the phages lambda and phi 80 were found. The basic protein of the head pE proved to be immunochemically similar for all three phages.

The molecular structure of RNA polymerases from Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella anatum,serratia marcescens, Aerobacter aerogens, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus subtilis were compared based on:i) inhibition of the enzyme activity by treatment with antibodies against E. coli RNA polymerase subunits;ii) analysis of antibody precipitates by sodium ododecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; and iii) analysis of antibody precipitates by urea-isoelectrofocusing followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-slab gel electrophoresis in the second dimension. All the bacterial RNA polymerases examined cross-react equally with anti-E. COLI HOLOPOLYMERASE BUT EXHIbit different extents of cross-reaction with antibodies against individual subunits. Except for B. subtilis RNA polymerase, the molecular weight and isoelectric point of the enzyme subunits are close to those of E. coli polymerase. However, minor difference were found at least within the resolution of the techniques employed:S. anatum polymerase has sigma subunit larger than E. coli sigma subunit; P. mirabilis enzyme has sigma subunit larger in size and more acidic in charge, and alpha subunit smaller and more basic than corresponding E. coli subunits. The electrophoretic map of B. subtilis enzyme subunits is completely different from that of E. coli enzyme.

1. Rates of total protein turnover, synthesis and breakdown were measured in five children before and after recovery from severe protein-energy malnutrition and while receiving 0.6 g of protein and 397 kJ day-1 kg-1. 2. Thes rates were calculated after giving doses of [15N]glycine every 2 h along with the feeds and measuring the rate of excretion of [15N]urea in urine. 3. Malnourished children had significantly lower rates of protein turnover, synthesis and breakdown than after they had recovered. 4. During recovery from protein-energy malnutrition, two children on a daily intake of 1.2 g of protein and 605 J/kg body weight, had rates of protein turnover, synthesis and breakdown that were twice as great as those found on admission and higher than after recovery. 5. On the study diet the malnourished children maintained their weight while the recovered children lost weight; the apparent nitrogen balance was more positive in the malnourished children. 6. In recovered children, the rate of protein synthesis was unchanged over a wide range of protein intake, whereas the rate of protein breakdown appeared to rise with a reduction in protein intake.

Two sheep with a ruminal fistula and an isolated small rumen were studied for the secretion of ammonia nitrogen, urea nitrogen, and amino nitrogen into the isolated rumen at different levels of volatile fatty acids (VFA) (50, 133-97, and 97-66 M Mol 1(-1)) in the rumen. The VFA level in the rumen was found to exert a great influence on the quantitative secretion of endogenous nitrogen from the blood through the rumen wall into rumen content. When the VFA level in the rumen was increased by administration of a single dose of acetic, propionic, and butyric acid, the secretion of ammonia nitrogen and amino nitrogen abruptly dropped and the secretion of urea into the isolated rumen slightly increased. The over-all amount of nitrogen (NH3-N + urea-N + amino-N) that had passed into the isolated rumen in the course of an hour showed a highly significant correlation with the passage of nitrogen in the form of ammonia and amino nitrogen and was greatest before the application of VFA to the rumen, i.e. at the level of 50 m mol 1-1. Of the metabolites under study, which were passing to the isolated rumen, amino nitrogen shared the greatest proportion (45.38-46.54%). When the VFA level in the rumen was raised, the proportion of ammonia secreted to the isolated rumen decreased and the proportion of urea in the total amount of nitrogen increased.

The present study demonstrates that protein biosynthesis can be studied in single isolated human scalp hair follicles. The matrix and the sheath are the main regions where amino acids are built in. Incorporation is linear for at least five hours. The newly synthesized proteins can be separated into a water-soluble, a urea-soluble and a urea-insoluble fraction. Product analysis has been performed on the first two fractions, revealing different protein patterns.

Protein biosynthesis in neurointermediate lobes of mouse pituitaries was investigated using pulse and pulse-chase techniques with [3H]lysine. Electrophoretic analysis of lobe homogenates on acid-urea gels resolved 11 labeled products. One was a large protein which was rapidly synthesized during pulse-incubations and disappeared during chase incubations. Three of the products increased during chase incubations, suggesting a precursor-product mode of biosynthesis for these chasde peptides. One of these three products co-migrated with synthetic alpha-MSH and also corresponds to the major peak of mouse neurointermediate lobe MSH bioactivity and immunoactivity on electrophoretograms. Another case of these peptides has electrophoretic properties similar to those of ACTH.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from testes and kidneys of the inbred strain of mice (DBA/2J) by a simple two-step affinity column procedure. This involved the sequential application of 8-(6-aminohexyl)-amino-AMP- and -2', 5'-ADP-Sepharose columns and biospecific elution with NADP+ in both steps. The molecular and biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were studied in detail. These include the molecular weight determination, amino acid composition, steady-state kinetics, inactivation by high temperature, urea and iodoacetate, and immunology. The purified enzyme from mouse kidneys or testes was shown to be a tetramer with a molecular weight of 220,000. The enzyme is highly specific for glucose-6-phosphate, exhibits almost no activity with NAD+ as a coenzyme and is little inhibited by AMP or ATP. Michaelis constants for glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+ were determined to be 50 microM and 10 microM respectively. NADPH is a competitive inhibitor of NADP+ and has a Ki of 18 microM. Rabbit antisera against glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were raised. The antisera also cross-react with the same enzyme from human and guinea pig.

RNA synthesis, correlation of various histones and acetylation and phosphorylation of the chromatin proteins were studied in the rat heart during monthly hypothyroidism. It was shown that [3H]uridine incorporation into heart RNA decreases considerably at hypothyrosis. The alteration in relative amounts of the histone H4 subfractions, which does not depend on the method of hypothyrosis reproduction (inhibition of thyroid function by 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole, thyroidectomy) was detected by the method of analytical electrophoresis in 15% polyacrylamide gels containing 3.125 M urea and 0.9 N acetic acid. Increased incorporation of [32P]phosphate into histone fraction H2b and total fraction of acidic chromatin proteins was observed in vivo. Increased incorporation of labeled acetate into the total histone fraction and reduced incorporation into acidic nuclear proteins were obtained. It was shown that the increased incorporation of acetate into the total histone fraction was due to the increased acetylation of histones H3, H2b, H4 and acid-soluble chromatin proteins characteristic of tissues with a low level of replication. It is assumed that the observed changes of nuclear proteins reflect the process of chromatin reorganization caused by a prolonged deficiency of thyroid hormones.
