Detergent proteins

Figure 19.2 A generalized proteomics work flow for the extraction and identification of proteins in FFPE tissue. Formalin-fixed tissues acquired by sectioning, needle dissection, or laser capture are deparaffinized in xylenes and are rehydrated in graded alcohols. The material is resuspended in buffer which generally contains a detergent/ protein denaturant and the sample is heated to complete the extraction process. The protein extract is reduced, alkylated, and digested with trypsin before protein profiling.

MW 27,500) with no cofactors or metal ions reqnirement for its function, it displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics and it is secreted in large amounts by a wide variety of Bacillus species. Subtilisin is also among the most important industrial enzymes due to its use in laundry detergents. Protein engineering strategies for subtilisin have focused on a number of aspects, namely catalysis, substrate specificity, thermal and oxidative stability and pH profile. We will describe briefly each of these aspects. 

T,he stoichiometric characterization of detergent-protein complexes has been the object of many studies over the past 30 years (6). Recent studies have placed more emphasis upon developing a molecular-kinetic description of the complex (2, 8). The importance of such descriptions lies in the fact that detergent-protein complexes can be considered as lipoprotein model systems. Indeed, virtually all conceptions of the microscopic nature of lipid-protein interactions are based on the properties of detergent-protein complexes (3). 

The experimental procedure consisted first of generating a detergent-protein complex monolayer of fixed area at the air-water interface, followed by varying the substrate pH. The experimental parameters were film surface pressure and the subphase pH. 

An essential caveat must be observed, however the molecular weight estimation measures the size of the detergent-protein complex, and different proteins bind different amounts of detergent. All empirical methods, accordingly, are fraught with possible error, and the results reported or reviewed now should be looked upon as preliminary and indicative, rather than definitive. 

When the production of the secondary metabolites coincides with the death and general lysis of the cells, the recovery of the product is simply a matter of separation from the spent production solution downstream of the reactor. An example of this type of operation was initially used in Japan during the production of shikonin. However, if the secondary metabolites are stored in the vacuole of the cells and the cells remain viable but dormant during the production phase, then a permeabilizing agent such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), detergents, proteins, and antibiotics may be employed in some cases in concentrations that make the cells leak product out but maintain cell viability. Success for this type of product recovery has been reported in C. roseus, Datura innoxia, and Daucus carota cell cultures.

Many contaminants in wastewater today, such as dissolved dyestuffs, lignins, detergents, proteins, fatty acids, tannins, and so on, possess surface-active properties that decrease surface tension and oxygen transfer rate, but increase the demand for dissolved oxygen. Particularly, the sharp reduction in surface tension of water by these pollutants seems to be a basic cause of increasing the susceptibility of aquatic life to the surfactant poison.

In several tissues, like gastric mucosa [6,8,46.47], pancreas [19,20], submandibular gland [22] and intestinal mucosa [36], the anion-sensitive ATPase can be solubilized by Triton X-100, a detergent/protein ratio of 3 1 being most effective [6,8,47]. The solubihzed enzyme from gastric mucosa [46] and pancreas [20] could be partially purified by gel filtration and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The properties of the solubilized enzyme do not differ very much from those of the particulate enzyme. 

The term reflects the curvature of the Stuhrmann parabola and is always positive (Fig. 5). Since it is a second-order term and is defined mainly by R% values measured in low Ap (where counting statistics are usually weaker and sample impurity effects are larger), the inherent accuracy of is less than that oi Rc and a. Physically, it corresponds to the displacement of the centre of scattering within the particle as the contrast is varied, i.e. corresponds to the distance between the centres of the shape Py(r) and the fluctuations pp(r). Typical systems where might be measurable include protein-detergent, protein-nucleic acid and proto-nated-deuterated protein complexes (Section 4). If a particle can be divided into two components 1 and 2 with distinctly different scattering densities, the separation between 1 and 2 can be calculated [47] ... 

The cytochrome b559 content was found to be 1 per 2 pheophytin a (19) and subsequent analyses have shown the same ratio in larger PS2 preparations (20). The fatty acid content has been analysed and indicates that there is always less than 1.0 mole dlacyl glycerolipid 2 pheophytin a. This low level probably arises from non-specific interaction with the detergent-protein complex.
