(1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 178, 131-140)). We have now developed a highly effective one-column (Fractogel TSK AF-Red) protocol yielding an enzyme preparation of comparable purity with severalfold higher activity yield. A further increase in enzyme purity up to 98% was achieved by a two-column protocol involving elution over DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B prior to TSK AF-Red affinity chromatography. The reduction of preparation time minimized KdpB protein degradation and led to hitherto unequaled values of specific activity (up to 2000-mu-mol x g-1 x min-1) and enrichment factors (up to 30-fold). Our results confirm the usefulness of triazine dye matrices for the purification of transport ATPases. |
