Abstract
Radioactive leucine was incorporated byNeurospora crassamitochondriain vivoin the presence of cycloheximide. When the membrane protein of these mitochondria was chromatographically separated on oleyl polymethacrylic acid resin, a number of fractions were obtained which differ with respect to their contents of radioactivity and cytochromes. The highest specific radioactivity was found in the fraction containing cytochromeaa3. This fraction proved to be a pure and enzymatically active cytochrome oxidase. Its ratio of absorbance at 280 nm (ox)/443 nm (red.) was 2.1.By means of sodium dodecylsulfate gel‐electrophoresis, this enzyme was separated into five polypeptides with molecular weights of 30000, 20000, 13000, 10000, and 8000. Only the polypeptide with the molecular weight 20000 displayed a high specific radioactivity.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
