Resumo

Klebsiella aerogenes urease was purified 1,070-fold with a 25% yield by a simple procedure involving DEAE-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, Mono Q , and Superose 6 chromatographies.The enzyme preparation was comprised of three polypeptides with estimated M, = 72,000, 11,000, and 9,000 in a ad474 quaternary structure.The three components remained associated during native gel electrophoresis, Mono Q chromatography, and Superose 6 chromatography despite the presence of thiols, glycols, detergents, and varied buffer conditions.The apparent compositional complexity of K .aerogenes urease contrasts with the simple well-characterized homohexameric structure for jack bean urease (Dixon, N.
