Abstract

No abstract in PubMed - copied from pdf: Enolase has been purified from aqueous extracts of Escherichia coli acetone powder by (a) heat treatment, (b) fractionation with acetone, (c) TEAE-cellulose chromatography, (d) Sephadex G-100 chromatography, and (e) crystallization. The purified, crystalline enzyme migrates as a single band in disc gel electrophoresis and is homogeneous by ultracentrifugal analysis. The molecular weight of the enzyme is approximately 90,000, as determined by sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium experiments. The subunit molecular weight estimated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate is 46,000, suggesting that the enzyme is composed of two subunits of equal size. Functionally there are many similarities between E. coli enolase and other enolases studied. Thus, the dependence on Mg2+ for activity and the inhibition by fluoride in the presence of phosphate are quantitatively very similar for all enolases. Other catalytic parameters (I&, V IllS.X, and pH optimum) are also similar, but minor quantitative distinction indicates that E. coli enolase is more closely related to yeast enolase than to enolases from vertebrate muscle.
