Glutathione-prostaglandin A1 conjugate as substrate in the purification of prostaglandin 9-ketoreductase from rabbit kidney. 1980

B S Toft, and H S Hansen

Using GSH-PGA1 as substrate for determination of enzyme activity a pI 4.8 form of rabbit kidney prostaglandin 9-keto-reductase has been purified 95 times to a specific activity of 1755 nmol/min per mg protein. The purification procedures involve ion-exchange chromatography, gel-filtration and affinity chromatography. The latter procedure comprises Blue Sepharose affinity chromatography, and GSH-PGA1-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme preparation also showed a weak NADP+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity, 20 nmol/min per mg protein with PGE1 as substrate. Km (PGE1) for the dehydrogenase is 142.6 +/- 45.1 microM (S.E., n = 7).

D009249	NADP	Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).
