Application of Liquid-Liquid Partition Chromatography (LLPC) in the Preparation of Steroid Binding Proteins
Two human serum proteins, i.e. sex hormone binding globulin (h-SHBG) and corticosteroid binding globulin (h-CBG), rat corticosteroid binding globulin (r-CBG), and progesterone binding globulin (PBG) from new guinea pig were purified by the application of three different modes of chromatography. The proteins were purified by affinity chromatography and anion exchange chromatography. Fractions containing the steroid binding proteins were finally purified by liquid-liquid partition chromatography on LiParGel 750 (Merck, Darmstadt, FRG). This Chromatographic sequence clearly separated the steroid binding proteins from other proteins, mainly from serum albumin without a loss of protein and compl…
Application of liquid-liquid partition chromatography in the simultaneous purification of sex-hormone-binding globulin and corticosteroid-binding globulin.
Two human serum proteins, corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) and sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), were purified to homogeneity by the application of a combination of three different modes of chromatography. Human pregnancy serum was fractionated with ammonium sulphate. SHBG (50% pellet) and CBG (80% pellet) were then purified by affinity chromatography on tresyl-activated Sepharose with 15-aminopentadecanoic acid (for SHBG) and 1,12-diaminododecane (for CBG) as spacers and 17 zeta-aminoethyl-5 alpha-androstan-3 beta,17-diol (for SHBG) and 17 alpha-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one-17 beta-carboxylic acid (for CBG) as specific ligands for these two proteins. The eluate was injected into a Mon…
Vergleichende Untersuchungen der synthetischen Antigestagene RU 38486, ZK 98734 und ZK 98299 auf der Rezeptorebene
Csapo formulierte das Konzept, das der Entzug von Progesteron unter der Schwangerschaft zwangslaufig zu einer Beendigung dieser fuhren mus. Seitdem Antigestagene vom RU-486-Typ existieren, die als kompetitive Progesteron-Antagonisten die Wirkung von Progesteron dosisabhangig am Uterus blockieren, ist es moglich, Csapo’s Hypothese sowohl klinisch als auch auf der tierexperimentellen wie molekularbiologischen Ebene kritisch zu uberprufen.
Binding of oral contraceptive progestogens to serum proteins and cytoplasmic receptor
Abstract Some progestogens widely used in oral contraceptives are characterized at the level of high-affinity receptor binding as well as binding to sex hormone-binding globulin and corticosteroid-binding globulin. With regard to binding to sex hormone-binding globulin, gestodene, levonorgestrel, and to a lesser extent 3-ketodesogestrel (which is only formed from the prodrug desogestrel in the body), show a behavior that is manifested in the relatively high affinity to sex hormone-binding globulin, whereas desogestrel and norgestimate do not display any measurable affinity for this specific steroid-binding serum protein. Furthermore, levonorgestrel and gestodene dissociate very much more sl…
Preparation of electrophoretic variants of Corticosteroid-binding Globulin (CBG) using liquid liquid partition chromatography
Abstract Human corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) was purified to homogeneity by application of three different chromatographic methods. After fractionation of pregnancy serum with ammonium sulfate the 80%-pellet was used for affinity chromatography based on tresyl activated Sepharose (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden). The affinity eluate was injected into a Mono Q anion exchange column (Pharmacia). Fractions containing CBG were finally purified by liquid liquid chromatography on LiParGel 750 (Merck, Darmstadt, F.R.G.) 1,2 . The purified protein was characterized by IEF and PAGE. This paper describes a method for the chromatographic separation of the two variants of CBG without a loss of bind…
Lack of binding of gestodene to estrogen receptor in human breast cancer tissue
Competition studies with progesterone and estradiol receptors of human myometrial tissue as well as of mammary cancer tissue showed that gestodene bound with high affinity to the progesterone receptor, as did other synthetic and natural progestogens. However, gestodene did not bind to the estradiol receptor. The relative binding affinities of all tested synthetic and natural ligands showed no organ-specific differences and no differences between neoplastically transformed and normal tissues.
