Affinity purification and some properties of nucleoside diphosphatase from rat liver cytosol.
Nucleosidediphosphatase (nucleosidediphosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.6) of rat liver cytosol was purified up to 336--fold by the procedure including affinity chromatographies of concanavalin A- and alanine-Sepharose. The final purified enzyme showed a single protein band upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Its native form was found to be a tetramer with molecular weight of 120 000 which consists of subunit with molecular weight of 30 000. The enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein on the basis of its chromatographic behaviour with concanavalin A-Sepharose and positive staining with periodate-Schiff reaction in polyacrylamide gels. Furthermore, the two molecular forms with isoelectric points of 4.7 and 5.0 were demonstrated by electrofocusing, though they did not show any significant difference with respect to their catalytic properties.
