[Purification of acetylcholinesterase from horse erythrocytes using affinity chromatography].
A commercial preparation of water-soluble acetylcholinesterase from horse red cells has been purified to a specific activity of 2380 U/mg of protein (a 1660-fold purification) by a twofold affinity chromatography on the known sorbent of Sepharose-p-[NH-(CH2)5-C(O)NH(CH2)5C(O)NH-]-C6H4-N+(CH3)3 X Br- at pH 7.5. A selective elution of the enzyme was carried out from 10 mM of the phosphate buffer solution which contains 0.2% of triton X-100. Subsequent desorption of the enzyme proceeded with 5 mM of phenyltrimethylammonium bromide introduced into the buffer. Such effective preparations of acetylcholinesterase have not been previously produced. Effectiveness of the affinity sorbents considerably depends on the nature of the ligand which is covalent-linked with a Sepharose matrix and on the length of the attachment spacer arm ("insert") between them. A reversible inhibitory effect of certain ligands (tetramethylammonium, phenyltrimethylammonium) and their derivatives on acetylcholinesterase is estimated in comparison.
