Microtubule-associated proteins bind to microtubules in vivo and subserve a number of functions including the promotion of microtubule assembly and bundling, chemomechanical force generation, and the attachment of microtubules to transport vesicles and organelles (Olmsted, 1986). Tubulin purified from brain tissue by repeated polymerization-depolymerization contains up to 20% MAPs. The latter can be dissociated from tubulin by ion-exchange chromatography. The MAPs from brain can be resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). 

The protein was purified by a dialysis procedure, denatured and analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Western blotting indicated that the protein of interest consisted of two components, one of which increased in concentration as the purification proceeded. The authors initially suggested that this could be due to the presence of a number of species produced by modification of the amino acid side-chains, for example, by glyco-sylation, or by modification of the C- or N- terminus. 

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) An electrophoretic technique used for the separation of proteins. 

The number of different proteins in a membrane varies from less than a dozen in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to over 100 in the plasma membrane. Most membrane proteins can be separated from one another using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), a technique that has revolutionized their study. In the absence of SDS, few membrane proteins would remain soluble during electrophoresis. Proteins are the major functional molecules of membranes and consist of enzymes, pumps and channels, structural components, antigens (eg, for histocompatibility), and receptors for various molecules. Because every membrane possesses a different complement of proteins, there is no such thing as a typical membrane structure. The enzymatic properties of several different membranes are shown in Table 41-2. 

Prokaryotic cells express hundreds to thousands of proteins while higher eukaryotes express thousands to tens of thousands of proteins at any given time. If these proteins are to be individually identified and characterized, they must be efficiently fractionated. One-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) has typically been use to study protein mixtures of <100 proteins. Onedimensional electrophoresis is useful because nearly all proteins are soluble in SDS, molecules ranging from approximately 10,000 to 300,000 molecular weight can be resolved, and extremely basic or acidic proteins can be visualized. The major disadvantage to one-dimensional gels is that they are not suitable for complex mixtures such as proteins from whole cell lysates.

The boiled samples are resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using 4 to 20% polyacrylamide gels, loaded in the following order 3% input —10 fA of eluate (15% of the total volume of the boiled eluate El) —20 fA of eluate (30% E2) —3% supernatant, respectively, and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Novex or Bio-Rad). 

Various methods have been used to examine the composition of proteins adsorbed to SAMs. Overall adsorption patterns can be examined with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) [50, 76, 77]. Absorbed proteins are eluted from the surface with surfactant (SDS), and then separated by electrophoresis. The proteins of interest are examined by western blotting [50, 76, 77]. Protein-specific antibodies can be used to detect proteins of...

CaM was purified from porcine brain. The purity of proteins was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. CaM and PDE were cross-linked with l-ethyl-3(3-dimethylamino-propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) or N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) in a buffer solution of 0.1 M HEPES (pH 7.1) in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2. After a buffer solution containing 2 mM EGTA added into the reaction solution, the CaM-PDE hybrid was separated from other ingredients by gel chromatography on a Sepharose CL-6B solumn.

For many years, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) methods have been used as an essential tool to determine the hydrodynamic size, monitor product purity, detect minor product or process-related impurities, and confirm batch-to-batch consistency of protein and antibody products. ITowever, gel-based techniques have several limitations, such as lack of automation, varying reproducibility, and a limited linear range. SDS-PAGE is also labor-intensive and generates large volume of toxic waste. Most importantly, the technique does not provide quantitative results for purity and impurity determination of proteins and antibodies. 

Figure 6.5. Immunoblot of the urease large subunit. Extracts of H. pylori wild type (WT) and a hypA mutant from cells grown without nickel supplementation were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and identified by blotting with an anti-urease large-subunit antiserum. Urease activity was 58pmolmin mg for the wild type and Opmolmin" mg for the hypA mutant.
