摘要
Polyphenol oxidase from iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) chloroplasts was released from the thylakoid-membrane by sonication, and it was extensively purified to homogeneity as judged by SDS-PAGE. Purification was achieved by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel-filtration chromatography, and ion-exchange chromatography. Two molecular forms were separated by gel-filtration chromatography with apparent molecular masses of 188 and 49 kDa. Both forms were characterized by sedimentation analysis with S-20,S-W values of 10.2 and 4.1 S, respectively. For the high-molecular weight form purified to homogeneity, denaturing SDS-PAGE indicated a molecular mass of 60 kDa. Thus, from these data we suggest that lettuce polyphenol oxidase is a tetramer of identical subunits.
