[The acetylcholinesterase of Bungarus multicinctus venom. Purification and properties (author's transl)].
Acetylcholinesterase from Banded krait (Bungarus multicinctus) venom has been purified by CM-Sephadex chromatography and affinity chromatography to a specific activity of 4290 U/mg. The purified enzyme is a glycoprotein. It is free of electrophoretically detectable contaminating proteins. A molecular weight of 140,000 +/- 5,000 has been determined by gradient gel electrophoresis for the native enzyme. It is split into two equal-sized subunits (Mr 70,000 +/- 2,000) by SDS treatment. The N-terminal amino acid analysis gave glycine and serine. The purified acetylcholinesterase can be resolved by disc gel electrophoresis into four and by isoelectric focusing into six isozymes. The pI value of the main isozyme has been found to be 5.98 +/- 0.05.
