Isolation and partial characterization of an antifungal protein produced by Bacillus licheniformis BS-3

An antifungal protein produced by Bacillus licheniformis strain BS-3 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-52 column chromatography and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The purified protein was designated as F2 protein, inhibited the growth of Aspergillus niger, Magnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani. F2 protein was a monomer with approximately molecular weight of 31 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gave a single peak on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Using Rhizoctonia solani as the indicator strain, the EC50 of F2 protein was 35.82 μg/mL, displaying a higher antifungal activity in a range of pH 6.0 to pH 10.0, and at a temperature below 70 °C for 30 min. F2 protein was moderately resistant to hydrolysis by trypsin, proteinase K, after which its relative activities were 41.7% and 59.5%, respectively. F2 protein was assayed using various substrates to determine the enzymatic activities, the results showed the hydrolyzing activity on casein, however, no enzymatic activities on colloidal chitin, CM-cellulose, xylan, M. lysodeikticus, and p-nitrophenyl-N-acetylglucosaminide.     

Immunoaffinity purification of glucose/xylose isomerase fromStreptomyces

A procedure was developed to purify glucose/xylose isomerase from cell extract of Streptomyces sp. NCIM 2730 using immunoaffinity chromatography. High-titer polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbit using electrophoretically homogeneous glucose/xylose isomerase as an antigen. The specificity of antibodies was confirmed by double immunodiffusion, rocket electrophoresis, and Western-blot ELISA, which revealed the presence of a single immunoreactive protein with an Mr of 40,000. The antibodies recognized 2-3 antigenic determinants/mol of enzyme and were found to partially neutralize the enzymatic activity in an immunotitration experiment. The affinity gel was prepared by coupling antibodies at pH 10.0 to divinyl sulfone-activated Sepharose CL-4B. The glucose/xylose isomerase purified by immunoaffinity chromatography yielded 75% recovery with a single enzymatically active protein band on gel electrophoresis and showed specific activity of 16 U/mg. The crossreaction of the antibodies with glucose isomerase from other actinomycetes indicated that they share common epitopes.     

Rapid determination of selenium in various substrates by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography.

In the proposed procedure for the determination of selenium, 0.5-1 g of sample is wet ashed with concentrated nitric acid. After adding 1,2-diamino-4,5-dichlorobenzene to the digest at pH 1, the resulting dichloropiazselenol derivatives is extracted with toluene. The extract is purified by column chromatography over Florisil and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture detection. Recoveries of selenium added to various substrates ranged from 72 to 102%. The limit of detection is approximately 0.01 ppm, but smaller amounts can be determined by increasing the sample size or by concentration of the final extract.     

Estimation of catecholamines in human plasma by ion-exchange chromatography coupled with fluorimetry

Estimation of catecholamines in human plasma was made by ion-exchange chromatography coupled with fluorimetry. Catecholamines in deproteinized plasma were adsorbed onto Amberlite CG-50 (pH 6.5, buffered with 0.4 M phosphate buffer) and selectively eluted by 0.66 M boric acid. The catecholamine fraction was separated further on a column of Amberlite IRC-50 which was coupled with a device for the automated performance of the trihydroxyindole method (epinephrine and norepinephrine) or the 4-aminobenzoic acid-oxidation method (dopamine). One sample could be analysed within 25 min with either method. The lower detection limits were 0.02 ng for epinephrine and dopamine, and 0.04 ng for norepinephrine. Plasma catecholamine contents of healthy adults at rest were epinephrine 0.07 +/- 0.01 ng/ml (n = 19), norepinephrine 0.27 +/- 0.03 ng/ml (n = 19) and dopamine 0.22 +/- 0.03 ng/ml (n = 26). The procedure of adsorption and elution of the plasma catecholamines by ion-exchange resin was simple, the simplicity contributing to constant recovery. The catecholamine fraction could be analysed without evaporation of the eluate. The analytical column could be used for the analysis of more than 1000 samples before excessive back-pressure developed. Our method of continuous measurement of plasma catecholamine fulfils clinical requirements.     

Preparation of a monolithic column for weak cation exchange chromatography and its application in the separation of biopolymers

A procedure for the preparation of a monolithic column for weak cation exchange chromatography was presented. The structure of the monolithic column was evaluated by mercury intrusion. The hydrodynamic and chromatographic properties of the monolithic column--such as back pressures at different flow rates, effects of pH on protein retention, dynamic loading capacity, recovery, and stability--were determined under conditions typical for ion-exchange chromatography. The prepared monolithic column might be used in a relatively broad pH range from 4.0 to 12.0 and exhibited an excellent separation to five proteins at the flow rates of both 1.0 and 8.0 mL/min, respectively. In addition, the prepared column was first used in the purification and simultaneous renaturation of recombinant human interferon gamma (rhIFN-gamma) in the extract solution with 7.0 mol/L guanidine hydrochloride. The purity and specific bioactivity of the purified rhIFN-gamma in only one chromatographic step were obtained to be 93% and 7.8 x 10(7) IU/mg, respectively.     

Simultaneous determination of uric acid and creatinine in biological fluids by column-switching liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection

A column-switching liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of uric acid and creatinine in human serum and urine was developed. Creatinine and uric acid were separated by size-exclusion chromatography on a hydrophilic gel column (C1) and creatinine eluted from Cl was separated from proteins by filtration through a longer hydrophilic gel column (C2). The creatinine fraction eluted from C2 was transferred to a weakly acidic cation-exchange column (C3) and then to a strongly acidic cation-exchange column (C4). Uric acid eluted from Cl after creatinine was transferred to an anion-exchange column (C5) and then to a hydrophilic gel column (C6). The mobile phase was a mixed buffer of pH 5.1 (propionic acid-succinic acid-NaOH, 60:15:60 mmol/1 in water). Diluted serum and urine could be injected onto C1, and Cl was backflushed after the transfer of uric acid from Cl to C5.

Creatinine and uric acid in the eluate were determined by measuring their ultraviolet absorption at 234 and 290 nm, respectively. The recovery of uric acid and creatinine added to diluted serum (20-fold dilution, concentration 20 and 5 μmol/1, respectively) was 98.9±0.56% and 100.9±1.29%, respectively. The recovery of uric acid and creatinine added to diluted urine (100-fold dilution, concentration 50 and 100 μmol/l, respectively) was 99.4±0.72% and 98.7±1.45%, respectively (mean±R.S.D., n=6).     

Purification and partial characterization of CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase from rat brain

N-Acetyl-neuraminic acid cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.43) (CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase), which catalyzes the formation of cytidine-5′-monophospho-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) from cytidine-5′-triphosphate (CTP) and N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), was purified from rat brains aged 8-9 days, which presented the highest specific activity, and partially characterized. Partial protein fractionation in the crude extract was achieved by using 40-60% ammonium sulphate. Subsequently, CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase was purified by column chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 (gel filtration), Yellow-86-Agarose (affinity) and Phenyl-Sepharose (hydrophobic affinity). The pure enzyme had a specific activity of 3.6555 U/mg of protein and was purified 1662-fold, with an 18% yield. The purified CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase had a molecular weight of about 46 ± 1 kDa. Its purity was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The active enzyme chromatographed on a gel filtration column at 190 kDa, suggesting it exists in its native form as a tetramer. The greatest activity of enzyme was observed a temperature of 40 °C for a period of 45 min of incubation, revealing a certain thermal stability. The enzyme was found to remain stable in the pH range 8.5-9.5 at 40 °C, specifically at pH 9.0 for a 45 min incubation period. The enzyme was blocked by thiol-modifying reagents and such heavy metal cations as Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Sn²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Hg²⁺, but was not inhibited by thiol-containing reagents like reduced glutathione (GSH), mercaptoethanol and cysteine. Finally, in the presence of 0.01 M of dithiothreitol (DTT) or 0.06 M of NaF, the enzyme showed activity losses of approximately 20 and 17%, respectively.

Rapid sample preparation method for the determination of chloramphenicol in swine muscle by high-performance liquid chromatography

A simple and rapid sample preparation method for the determination of chloramphenicol in swine muscle tissue at the 10 micrograms/kg level is described. The method comprises sonication-aided extraction with ethyl acetate, addition of hexane to the extract and cleaning up and concentration of the extract on a small column packed with silica gel. Analysis was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography on a ChromSep column with ChromSpher C8 using acetonitrile-sodium acetate buffer as the mobile phase. Detection was performed at 280 nm. Mean recoveries from spiked muscle samples were 79 +/- 3% (10-50 micrograms/kg). The distribution of chloramphenicol in different muscle and fatty tissues from a pig to which a single dose of chloramphenicol was administered was also investigated.     

Preparative isolation of angiotensin-converting enzyme from human lung.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme from human lung was purified to apparent homogeneity using a five-step purification procedure consisting of ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE Sephadex A-50, gel permeation on Sephadex G-200, chromatofocusing on a polybuffer exchange (PBE 94) column and high-performance liquid chromatographic gel permeation on a Bio-Sil TSK-250 column. This procedure gave an approximately 700-fold purification with a 20% yield compared to a 550-fold purification and a 1% yield with an affinity chromatography-based procedure. The 20-fold greater yield of the five-step procedure offers a major advantage for preparative use in the structural characterization of angiotensin-converting enzyme.     

Determination of trace lead, cadmium and mercury by on-line column enrichment followed by RP-HPLC as metal-tetra-(4-bromophenyl)-porphyrin chelates

This paper reports the utilization of tetra-(4-bromophenyl)-porphyrin (T(4)BPP) as a chelating reagent using Waters Xterratrade mark RP(18) column for the on-line column enrichment and the separation of trace lead, cadmium and mercury ions by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with photodiode array detector. When the Hg-T(4)BPP, Pb-T(4)BPP and Cd-T(4)BPP chelates were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column with 0.05 mol l(-1) of pH 10.0 pyrrolidine-phosphoric acid buffer solution (containing 10% of tetrahydrofuran (THF)) as mobile phase. The chelates were retained on the top of the enrichment column. After the enrichment is finished, by switching the valve of six-ports switching valve, the retained metal-T(4)BPP chelates will be eluted by mobile phase in reverse direction and will travel towards analytical column. With THF (containing 0.05 mol l(-1), pH 10.0 pyrrolidine-phosphoric acid buffer salt) and 0.05 mol l(-1), pH 10.0 pyrrolidine-phosphoric acid buffer solution (containinging 10% THF) gradient elution as mobile phase, the chelates separation on the analytical column was satisfactory. The linearity ranges are 0.01-120 mug l(-1) for each metal ion. The detection limits (S/N=3) of lead, cadmium and mercury are 1.0, 0.5 and 1.0 ng l(-1), respectively. This method can be applied to the determination (mug l(-1)) level of lead, cadmium and mercury in drinking water with satisfactory results.
