Purification of cytochrome b558 from bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
A 110 fold purification of cytochrome b558 from resting bovine neutrophils has been achieved. The plasma membrane bound cytochrome b was extracted with aminoxide WS35, a non ionic detergent. The purification procedure included liquid column chromatography on CM-C50 Sephadex, chromatofocusing on the anion exchanger PBE94, and gel filtration on P30 Biogel. The purified preparation was characterized by an heme to protein (nmol/mg) ratio of 7.7. The isoelectric point of cytochrome b was at pH 6.5. Upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate three bands corresponding to apparent Mr 64,000, 56,000 and 20,000 were revealed by staining with Coomassie Blue.
