Purification of the lectin from Phaseolus acutifolius var. escumite was achieved by affinity chromatography on a column containing glutaraldehyzed membranes from blood group O erythrocytes. The lectin is a tetrameric glycoprotein of 121 kDa with 10% of sugar by weight composed by four subunits of 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The lectin is composed of four isolectins as determined by ion-exchange chromatography on a mono-S column. The lectin and its isolectins showed identical NH2 terminal residues (ANDLSFNFQR FNETN) with homology to the PHA leucoagglutinin-precursor. Peptide mass fingerprint from each lectin isoform determined from tryptic peptides by MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight) showed differences among subunits, thus suggesting microheterogeneity in their amino acid sequences or different glycosylation patterns. The lectin and its four isolectins agglutinated erythrocytes without serological specificity and showed mitogenic activity on human leukocytes; moreover, the main effect was rather toward CD8+ than to CD4+ human peripheral lymphocytes. The lectin from escumite was not inhibitable by simple sugars; however, the specificity of the lectin and its isoforms was mainly addressed toward galactose residues present in bi- or triantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type glycans.  相似文献

A mannose-binding protein was isolated from two different cultivars of the Chinese chive Allium tuberosum by extraction with 0.2 M NaCl, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and affinity chromatography on mannose agarose and fetuin agarose. It exhibited hemagglutinating activity toward rabbit erythrocytes. The lectin (agglutinin) was adsorbed on the mannose-agarose column, but not on the fetuin-agarose column. This A. tuberosum lectin (ATL) is unglycosylated, and not sialic acid binding. Lectins isolated from the two cultivars exhibited the same molecular mass of 25 kDa on gel filtration (Superose 12) and 12.5 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that they might be a dimeric protein composed of two identical subunits. The N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the lectin of various cultivars of A. tuberosum revealed that they were identical and showed 50%, or more, homology to the lectins from Galanthus nivalis (family Amaryllidaceae), Narcissus tazetta (family Amaryllidaceae), and Aloe arborescenes (family Liliaceae).  相似文献

Hydrolysates obtained from porcine myofibrillar proteins by protease treatment (papain or actinase E) exhibited high antioxidant activity in a linolenic acid peroxidation system induced by Fe(2+). Hydrolysates produced by both papain and actinase E showed higher activities at pH 7.1 than at pH 5.4. The antioxidant activity of the papain hydrolysate was almost the same as that of vitamin E at pH 7.0. These hydrolysates possessed 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and chelating activity toward metal ions. Antioxidant peptides were separated from the papain hydrolysate by ion exchange chromatography. The acidic fraction obtained by this method exhibited higher activity than the neutral or basic fractions. Antioxidant peptides in the acidic fraction were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography on an ODS column and shown to possess the structures DSGVT, IEAEGE, DAQEKLE, EELDNALN, and VPSIDDQEELM. The DAQEKLE peptide showed the highest activity among these peptides.  相似文献

Oxidative stability of conjugated linoleic acid isomers   总被引：16，自引：0，他引：16  
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) have been shown to be a strong anticarcinogen in a number of animal models. Our previous study demonstrated that CLA as a whole was extremely unstable in air. The present study was undertaken further to examine the oxidative stability of individual CLA isomers using the combination of gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and silver ion high-performance liquid chromatography (Ag-HPLC). It was found that CLA as a whole oxidized rapidly and more than 80% was degraded within 110 h in air at 50 degrees C. Four c,c-CLA isomers were most unstable followed by four c,t-CLA isomers. In contrast, four t,t-CLA isomers were relatively stable under the same experimental conditions. Both the oxygen consumption and the GLC analysis revealed that 200 ppm jasmine green tea catechins (GTCs) exhibited protection to CLA and were even stronger than 200 ppm butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) when added to either CLA or canola oil containing 10% CLA. The present study emphasized that oxidative unstability of CLA should not be overlooked although CLA has many biological effects.  相似文献

Problems associated with measuring phytate in infant cereals   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) content of commercially available dried infant cereals was measured by ion pair high-pressure liquid chromatography (ion pair HPLC) and ion exchange high-pressure liquid chromatography (ion exchange HPLC). Large differences between methods were apparent: ion pair HPLC gave values 14 to 190-fold lower than the values from ion exchange HPLC. Poor recoveries of added IP6 (25 to 60%) by ion pair HPLC suggested that some component of the infant cereal was responsible for the difference. Further experimentation suggested that an excess of minerals (approximately 11 mg/g calcium and 0.3 mg/g iron) in these samples sequestered the endogenously low phytate content. This problem may be unique to samples with low IP6 and high mineral content as wheat bran was not problematic. These results suggest that ion exchange HPLC is the method of choice for measuring inositol phosphates in infant cereals.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to characterize, quantify, and compare the different selenium species that are produced when lactic fermentation with two different types of microorganisms, bacteria (Lactobacillus) and yeast (Saccharomyces), take place to produce yogurt and kefir, respectively, and to study the transformation process of these species as a function of time. These two dairy products were chosen for the study because they are highly consumed in different cultures. Moreover, the microorganisms present in the fermentation processes are different. While the bacteria Lactobacillus is the one responsible for yogurt fermentation, a partnership between bacteria and the yeast Saccharomyces causes kefir fermentation. A comparative study has been carried out by fermenting Se(IV) enriched milk in the presence of both types of microorganisms, where the concentration range studied was from 0.5 to 20 microg g (-1). Enzymatic extraction enabled selenium speciation profiles, obtained by anionic exchange and ion-pairing reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (IP-RP-HPLC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) applied to the enriched samples showed segregated Se (0), at added concentrations higher than 5 microg g (-1). The main Se species formed depended on the type of microorganism involved in the fermentation process, SeCys 2 and MeSeCys being the main species generated in yogurt and SeMet in kefir. The results obtained are different for both kinds of samples. Lactic fermentation for yogurt produced an increment in selenocystine (SeCys 2) and Se-methylselenocysteine (MeSeCys), while fermentation to produce kefir also incremented the selenomethionine (SeMet) concentration. The Se species are stable for at least 10 and 15 days for kefir and yogurt, respectively. After this period, selenocystine concentration decreased, and the concentration of Se-methylselenocysteine was found to significantly increase.  相似文献

To gain additional knowledge and better understand forest soil management on a small scale, geostatistical analytical tools were employed to examine the spatial distribution in dry aggregate mean weight diameter (MWD) and other selected soil properties and to assess the possible relationships between MWD and other soil properties. Selected properties of forest soils collected along a 300-m transact in the Nimbia Forest Reserve of Nigeria exhibited moderate to high variability in distribution with sodium ion displaying the greatest variability [coefficient of variation (CV, 91.2%)] and principal component analysis revealed the exchange complex cluster as influencing total variation of field soil properties. The autocorrelation function showed significant spatial correlation from 1 lag in soil organic carbon up to 17 lags (51 m) in soil moisture content (θ). The spherical and Gaussian semivariogram models described the spatial structure of most soil properties; however, for clay, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and soil organic carbon (SOC), an exponential model analyzed their spatial dependence.  相似文献

Two novel β-glucosidases from Trichosporon asahii, named BG1 and BG2, were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction, ion exchange, and gelfiltration chromatography. The molecular weight of BG1 and BG2 were estimated as 160 kDa and 30 kDa, respectively. The K(m), V(max), K(cat), and K(cat)/K(m) values of the two β-glucosidases for p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside were determined. Both enzymes showed relatively high affinity to p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside in 4-nitrophenol glycosides and gentiobiose in saccharide substrates. The enzymes exhibited optimum activity at pH 6.0 and pH 5.5, respectively. Their respective optimum temperatures were 70 and 50 °C. Metal ions and inhibitors had different effects on the enzymes activities. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy demonstrated that the purified BG1 exhibited a β-sheet-rich structure and that BG2 displayed a high random coil conformation. HPLC analysis of transglycosylation and reverse hydrolysis assays revealed that only BG1 possessed transglycosylation activity and synthesized cello-oligosaccharides by the addition of glucose. This suggested that BG1 could be used to produce complex bioactive glycosides and could be considered as a potential enzyme for industrial application.  相似文献

Phytic acid, myo‐inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6 hexakisphosphate. the major storage form of phosphorus (P) in seeds, comprises 60 to 90% of total seed P. Phytic acid has also been observed in other vegetative and reproductive tissue including roots although no studies to date have unequivocally demonstrated that phytic acid is indeed present in roots. Three methods (ferric precipitation, ion‐exchange chromatography, and high voltage paper electrophoresis) were used to demonstrate that phytic acid is a P‐containing compound within the root and crown tissue of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Phytic acid P was found to represent from 10 to 15% of total root and crown P.  相似文献

A novel antifungal protein was isolated from naked oat (Avena nuda) seeds by acetone fractionation, (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, Q‐Sepharose ion‐exchange chromatography, chitin affinity chromatography, and Sephacryl S‐200 gel filtration chromatography. The antifungal protein exhibited a molecular mass of 23,760, as measured by gel filtration and SDS‐PAGE. Matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight MS analysis indicated that the protein was homologous with a permatin precursor from A. sativa. The protein from naked oats exhibited antifungal activity against Trametes sp. SQ01 (half‐maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 5.68μM), Trichoderma spp. (IC50 = 0.83μM), and Chaetomium sp. R01.  相似文献

A one-dimensional equilibrium model for the movement of ionic species in a saturated soil is presented. Physical processes considered include mass flow, ion exchange, dissolution and precipitation. It is assumed that ionic concentrations in the soil can be described with step functions.The model assumes that a precipitate initially present in the soil dissolves upon leaching the soil with a solution not containing the ionic species that make up the precipitate. Unlike the situation in the absence of a precipitate, ion exchange would take place at two separate interfaces, moving at different velocities through the soil. At the faster penetrating interface, the precipitation would take place in conjunction with ion-exchange. At the slower penetrating interface, the precipitate initially present plus the secondarily formed precipitate would dissolve and ion exchange proceed.The composition of the transition zone between the two interfaces is calculated for step functions, from the conditions of mass conservation and electroneutrality, a linear ionexchange equation and a solubility product.  相似文献

A new plant endopeptidase was obtained from unripe fruits of Bromelia balansae Mez (Bromeliaceae). Crude extracts were partially purified by ethanol fractionation. This preparation (redissolved ethanol precipitate, REP) showed maximum activity at pH 8.8-9.2, was very stable even at high ionic strength values (no appreciable decrease in proteolytic activity could be detected after 24 h in 1 M sodium chloride solution at 37 degrees C), and exhibited high thermal stability (inactivation required heating for 60 min at 75 degrees C). Anion exchange chromatography allowed the isolation of a fraction purified to mass spectroscopy, SDS-PAGE, and IEF homogeneity, named balansain I, with pI = 5.45 and molecular mass = 23192 (mass spectrometry). The purification factor is low (2.9-fold), but the yield is high (48.3%), a common occurrence in plant organs with high proteolytic activity, where proteases represent the bulk of protein content of crude extracts. Balansain I exhibits a similar but narrower pH profile than that obtained for REP, with a maximum pH value approximately 9.0 and was inhibited by E-64 and other cysteine peptidases inhibitors but not affected by inhibitors of the other catalytic types of peptidases. The alanine and glutamine derivatives of N-alpha-carbobenzoxy-L-amino acid p-nitrophenyl esters was strongly preferred by the enzyme.The N-terminal sequence of balansain I showed a very high homology (85-90%) with other known Bromeliaceae endopeptidases.  相似文献

Quantitation of o- and p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid residues in saccharin and its sodium salt is achieved by a method comprising methanolic extraction and high-performance ion exchange chromatography. A commercially available anion exchange column was employed with an aqueous buffered (pH 9.2) mobile phase. As little as 80 ppm of the ortho-isomer and 25 ppm of the para-isomer can be accurately determined. The levels of detectability (2 times noise) are estimated as 8 ppm (0.16 mug on column) and 2.5 ppm (0.05 mug on column), respectively. Recoveries from saccharin ranged from 92.7 to 96.5% (ortho) and from 92.2 to 103.3% (para). Recoveries from the sodium salt ranged from 93.1 to 104.4% (ortho) and from 93.5 to 97.8% (para). Of 9 other potential saccharin impurities tested separately, only one was found to interfere slightly in the chromatographic part of the procedure.  相似文献

A 30 kDa antifungal protein was purified from red cabbage ( Brassica oleracea ) seeds. It exhibited a molecular mass and N-terminal amino acid sequence disinct from those of previously isolated Brassica antifungal proteins. The protocol used entailed ion exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose and SP-Sepharose followed by fast protein liquid chromatography on Mono S. The protein hindered mycelial growth in Mycosphaerella arachidicola (with an IC50=5 μM), Setospaeria turcica, and Bipolaris maydis. It also inhibited the yeast Candida albicans with an IC50=96 μM. It exerted its antifungal action by permeabilizing the fungal membrane as evidenced by staining with Sytox green. The antifungal activity was stable from pH 3 to 11 and from 0 to 65 °C. It manifested antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IC50=53 μM). Furthermore, after 48 h of culture, it suppressed proliferation of nasopharyngeal cancer and hepatoma cells with IC50=50 and 90 μM, respectively.  相似文献

Phenyllactic acid (PLA) is a novel antimicrobial compound synthesized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and its production from phenylpyruvic acid (PPA) is an effective approach. In this work, a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which catalyzes the reduction of PPA to PLA, has been purified to homogeneity from a cell-free extract of Lactobacillus sp. SK007 by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, ion exchange, and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme had a dimeric form with a molecular mass of 78 kDa (size exclusion chromatography) or 39 kDa (SDS-PAGE). The ratio of enzyme activity with PPA to that with pyruvate being almost invariable at every purification step indicated that, in Lactobacillus sp. SK007, LDH is responsible for the conversion of PPA into PLA. HPLC profiles of PPA transformation into PLA by growing cells, cell-free extract, and purified LDH of Lactobacillus sp. SK007 were also investigated. Results showed that the presence of NADH was found to be necessary for the enzymatic production of PLA from PPA. The purified LDH displayed optimal activity for PPA at pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C. The Km values of the enzyme for PPA and pyruvate were 1.69 and 0.32 mM, respectively. Moreover, because other screened LAB strains exhibiting relatively high LDH activity toward PPA produced also considerable amounts of PLA, LDH activity for PPA could be therefore used as a screening marker for PLA-producing LAB.  相似文献

Orange peel molasses, a byproduct of juice production, contains high concentrations of phenols, including numerous flavanone and flavone glycosides, polymethoxylated flavones, hydroxycinnamates, and other miscellaneous phenolic glycosides and amines. Extensive fractionation of these phenols was achieved by adsorption, ion exchange, and size exclusion chromatography. Size exclusion chromatography effectively separated the different classes of flavonoids in ultrafiltered molasses, including the polymethoxylated flavones, flavanone-O-trisaccharides, flavanone- and flavone-O-disaccharides, and, finally, flavone-C-glycosides. Mass spectral analysis of the early-eluting flavonoid fractions off the size exclusion column revealed a broad collection of minor-occurring flavone glycosides, which included, in part, glycosides of limocitrin, limocitrol, and chrysoeriol. Most hydroxycinnamates in the molasses were recovered by ion exchange chromatography, which also facilitated the recovery of fractions containing many other miscellaneous phenols. Total antioxidant levels and total phenolic contents were measured for the separate categories of phenols in the molasses. Inhibition of the superoxide anion reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium showed that a significant amount of the total antioxidant activity in orange peel molasses was attributable to minor-occurring flavones. The miscellaneous phenolic-containing fractions, in which a large portion of the total phenolic content in molasses occurred, also constituted a major portion of the total antioxidants in ultrafiltered molasses.  相似文献

A one-dimensional equilibrium model for the movement of ionic species through a saturated soil is presented. Physical processes considered include mass flow, ion exchange, precipitation and dissolution. Precipitation involves the cationic species which is desorbed upon ion exchange and the anionic species in the leaching solution. In the presence of a precipitate, ion exchange takes place at two separate interfaces, moving at different velocities through the soil. At the first interface, precipitation takes place in conjunction with ion exchange, and at the second interface the precipitate dissolves and ion exchange proceeds. The conposition of the transition zone between the two interfaces is calculated from the conditions of mass conservation and electroneutrality, a linear ion-exchange equation and a solubility product.  相似文献
