Popis: |
When a 25-50% ammonium-sulphate-insoluble fraction from a bovine brain preparation was chromatographed on a cellulose phosphate column, several protein fractions which inhibit the activity of tubulinyl-tyrosine carboxypeptidase were obtained. One of these fractions exhibited activity of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) and the enzyme accounted for more than 95% of the protein of this fraction as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The inhibitory activities of the two protein fractions which had the highest activity per mg of protein were practically abolished by pretreatment with pronase; preincubation with trypsin, on the other hand, caused only a partial inactivation of the inhibitors. The inhibitory activities were little affected by heating at 90 degrees C for 5 min. Preincubation with purified tubulinyl-tyrosine carboxypeptidase caused a great decrease of the inhibitory activities of these two fractions, leaving open the possibility that these inhibitors act as substrates of the carboxypeptidase. |
