A simple purification scheme yielding crystalline phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus

A simple purification scheme yielding crystalline phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus

B J Myrnes et al. Acta Chem Scand B. 1980.

Abstract

A very simple and rather unusual purification scheme for phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus has been worked out. Air is bubbled vigorously through the bacterial culture and the foam collected. Liquified foam is centrifuged, dialyzed and heated at 74 degrees C for 5 min. After centrifugation, affinity chromatography is carried out on lipoprotein-Sepharose. The enzyme is then thermally denatured by exposure to 85 degrees C for 5 min and the precipitated material well washed and then renatured from solution in 4 M guanidinium chloride. The final enzyme preparations are electrophoretically homogeneous and easy to crystallize. The recovery of activity exceeds 80%.
