| Abstract: | A 60kDa spider toxin binding protein from bovine brain was solubilized with digitonin and purified up to 5800-folds over starting crude homogenate. The purification procedure entailed DEAE-cellulose, concanavalin-A affinity, 1-naphthylacetyl spermine affinity and high performance liquid chromatography. The purified protein owned a very high affinity for ligand 125I-JSTX-3 binding Kd 15.6nM and Bmax 6.5nM. The amino acid composition of the protein was determined. The N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis yielded a unique sequence: NH2-X-Pro-X-Val-Tyr-Phe-Lys-Glu-Gln-Phe-Leu-Asp-Gly-Asp-X. |
