The purification of guinea-pig intestinal brush borders by a rapid sucrose-gradient-centrifugation step is reported. A 29-fold increase in the maltase/DNA quotient indicates considerable purification of the brush borders from nuclei. The biological activity of the brush borders was well preserved, as demonstrated by a high recovery of human gastric-juice-mediated uptake of 57Co-labelled vitamin B-12; homogeneity and purity were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Both the morphological appearance and biological activity were unchanged after prolonged storage in glycerol.

ABSTRACT A monooxygenase encoded by the mtmOIV gene from the mithramycin gene cluster of Streptomyces argillaceus was purified 21-fold by a three-step purification procedure. This monooxygenase catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the fourth ring of premithramycin B. The enzyme was dependent on NADPH and flavin adenine dinucleotide for activity with optimal pH at 9.5, and the Km values for NADPH and premithramycin B were 269.22 and 23.35 μM, respectively. The reaction catalyzed by MtmOIV yields two possible isomers of the same basic shortened aliphatic chain molecule. One of the reaction products showed important biological activity, thus highlighting the importance of the cleavage of the fourth ring of the aglycon for biological activity.
