Abstract
Chromatography of different soluble extracts from HeLa cells on poly(A)-Sepharose columns has allowed the isolation of a protein fraction eluted by 0.2 M NaCl and localized predominantly in the cytoplasmic supernatant and in the 0.5 M KCl ribosomal wash. This fraction is present in large amounts (around 3% of total cytosolic proteins) and appears to contain a major protein species that is acidic on electrofocusing (pI around 4.5) and phosphorylated. It runs on glycerol gradients and Sephadex G-200 chromatography close to the aldolase marker (158,000 daltons) and dissociates into apparently identical subunits of 38,000 +/- 2,000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels, suggesting a tetrameric structure.Keywords
