High sensitivity amino acid sequence determination. Application to proteins eluted from polyacrylamide gels.

Abstract:

:An automatic solid-phase procedure is described for determining the amino-terminal amino acid sequence of very small quantities of proteins. The sample is covalently attached to an inert support so that mechanical and physical losses during sequencing are eliminated. High sensitivity is achieved by using an initial coupling with high specific activity phenyl [35S]isothiocyanate followed by a longer reaction with the unlabeled reagent. The radioactive phenylthiohydantoins are identified by autoradiography after two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. Unlabeled phenylthiohydantoin-amino acids are added to each fraction to assist in the identification and to act as carriers, hence reducing absorptive and extractive losses of the small quantities of sample. The method may be used on proteins eluted from polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate without removal of the detergent. Sequences of up to 20 residues have been obtained on quantities of protein ranging from 2.5 to 70 pmol. Results from proteins of hitherto unknown sequence are included.

  • pH-Dependent Binding of Chloride to a Marine Alkaline Phosphatase Affects the Catalysis, Active Site Stability, and Dimer Equilibrium.

    abstract::The effect of ionic strength on enzyme activity and stability varies considerably between enzymes. Ionic strength is known to affect the catalytic activity of some alkaline phosphatases (APs), such as Escherichia coli AP, but how ions affect APs is debated. Here, we studied the effect of various ions on a cold-adapted...
