Article Abstract
The characterisation of the "4 S-trypsin" form of the estradiol-receptor from calf uterus cytosol was carried out by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions. In a multiphasic buffer system (upper buffer Tris-glycine pH25degrees C = 8,6, lower buffer Tris HCl pH25degrees C = 7,4), three radioactive estradiol peaks were observed. The first was free estradiol, the second estradiol initially complexed with a macromolecule and dissociated during electrophoresis, and the third the hormone-receptor complex. The sedimentation coefficient (4 S) of this complex was the same before and after electrophoresis. Its mean geometric radius is R = 2.53 + 0.08 nm and its molecular weight was estimated to be 55,000.

Purification procedures determine the proteasome activation properties of REG gamma (PA28 gamma).

The proteasome activation properties of recombinant REG gamma molecules depend on purification procedures. Prior to ammonium sulfate precipitation recombinant REG gamma activates the trypsin-like catalytic subunit of the proteasome; afterwards it activates all three catalytic subunits. The expanded activation specificity is accompanied by reduced stability of the REG gamma heptamer providing support for the idea that a "tight" REG gamma heptamer suppresses the proteasome's chymotrypsin-like and postglutamyl-preferring active sites.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the most highly studied enzymes, although its function in many tissues has remained obscure. AChE purified from eel or foetal bovine serum possesses proteolytic activity in addition to esterase activity. The presence of trypsin-like and metallocarboxypeptidase-like activities associated with AChE accounts for its ability to convert enkephalin peptide precursors into enkephalins.

Transcarboxylase as isolated previously has a molecular weight of 790,000, an s20,w of 18 S, and contains six biotinyl groups. The larger species of enzyme consists of a central hexameric subunit with six dimeric outer subunits attached to it by biotinyl carboxyl carrier proteins, three each at the opposite faces of the central subunits.
