Discontinuities in the topography of alcohol dehydrogenase-sodium dodecyl sulphate complexes revealed by mutagenesis and proteolysis.

Experiments utilizing proteolytic mapping of maize Alcohol dehydrogenase-1 protein (EC 1.1.1.1; ADH) showed that, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), two discrete areas of the protein molecule were hypersensitive to digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase. These areas were mapped to points 11 and 27 kDa along the 41 kDa polypeptide. Furthermore, ADH1 proteins isolated from the ethyl methanesulphonate-induced mutants U725 and W586 showed both a change in electrophoretic mobility in SDS gels, and an altered V8 proteinase digestion pattern. Protein from U725 migrated in SDS gels as though it was 2 kDa smaller than wild-type ADH protein and lacked the 11 kDa cleavage site. Protein from W586 lacked the 30 kDa cleavage site and migrated as if it was 3 kDa smaller than wild type. The possible relationships between proteinase cleavage sites, mutations and SDS gel mobilities are discussed.[1]
