Using a modified method consisting of chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose, and hydroxyapatite, we isolated a highly purified heat shock protein with molecular weight 90 kD (Hsp90) from rabbit liver. The isolated protein was recognized on immunoblot by commercially available monoclonal anti-Hsp90 antibodies. The chromatographic properties, interaction with actin and calmodulin, phosphorylation in the presence of Mg-ATP, and one-dimensional peptide maps of rabbit liver Hsp90 are similar to the corresponding properties of Hsp90 isolated from other sources. In the presence of soluble carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide, rabbit liver Hsp90 can be cross-linked with calmodulin, troponin C, troponin I, and calponin. The data obtained indicate that Hsp90 may participate in the assembly of regulatory proteins of the actin filament. |
