  • Title: Heterogeneity of beta-galactosidase from rabbit spleen. Separation and characterization of different forms.
    Author: Rodriguez-Berrocal FJ, Pérez-González MN, Cabezas JA.
    Journal: Enzyme; 1983; 30(3):196-204. PubMed ID: 6414808.
    Abstract:
    Two forms, I and II, of an acid beta-galactosidase from rabbit spleen were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and then characterized. Both forms of the enzyme showed different heat-stability (form I being heat-labile and form II heat-stable), and different pI (6.7 for form I and 5.3 and 6.7 for form II). Their gel filtration patterns were also different: form I was resolved in a single peak of mol. wt. 75,000, whereas form II was resolved in one or two peaks of mol. wt. 120,000 and greater than 200,000, depending on the pH of elution. However, both forms had similar pH stability and behavior toward alpha-methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, alpha-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, urea and KCl. Differences in pH optima, optimal temperature and Km values were not marked.
