Purification of D-alanine carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli B on a penicillin-Sepharose column. 1975

M Gorecki, and A Bar-Eli, and Y Burstein, and A Patchornik, and E B Chain

1. A soluble D-alanine carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli strain B was purified on a p-aminobenzylpenicillin-Sepharose column. This one-step chromatography followed by an (NH4)2SO4 precipitation yielded an enzyme purified 1200-fold and some of its properties are reported. 2. The pure D-alanine carboxypeptidase was devoid of D-alanine carboxypeptidase II activity and migrated as a single protein band on analytical disc gel electrophoresis. 3. Triton X-100 in the purification procedure is an absolute requirement for obtaining a stable enzyme. 4. The enzymic activity of D-alanine carboxypeptidase was greatly affected in solution of high salt concentrations and varied somewhat with the nature of the cation tested.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Chromatography, Bioaffinity,Immunochromatography,Affinity Chromatography,Bioaffinity Chromatography
D004589 Electrophoresis, Disc Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones. Electrophoresis, Disk,Disc Electrophoresis,Disk Electrophoresis
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D000409 Alanine A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination.
