title: Mammalian FKBP-25 and its associated proteins.
abstract: Soluble proteins from porcine brain were divided into two packs: (1) proteins which pass freely through CM52-cellulose, and (2) proteins retained on CM52. Each of these two packs of proteins was fractionated on preparative flat-bed isoelectrofocusing gel in the range of pH 2-12. Native FKBP-25 and its truncated forms were found among other proteins retained on CM52-cellulose. Immunoblotting with anti-FKBP-25 showed two bands in the range 27-30 kDa, one due to unmodified FKBP-25 and other due to FKBP-25 mixed with high-mobility group II protein (HMG-II). Selective immunostaining with anti-FKBP-25 antibodies of proteins which were not retained on CM52-cellulose showed several bands within the range of pI 7-5 and mass of 23 +/- 2 kDa. These fractions of proteins were next resolved on two-dimensional gels and immunostained with anti-FKBP-25 antibodies. Six proteins in the pI range 7-5 were detected. Edman degradation of alpha-chymotrypsin digests of the major spot suggests that it contains the GTP-binding protein Rab5 co-migrating with guanylyl kinase, whereas MALDI-TOF showed that a residual content of FKBP-25 may be also associated with these two proteins. A residual quantity of FKBP-25 was also associated with the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein which is abundant in the brain.
