从苦瓜种子的粗提物苦瓜子蛋白丙酮分级沉淀干粉中,用CM-SephadexC-50和SephadexG-75分离得到了两个核糖体失活蛋白,α-苦瓜子蛋白(α-momorcharin,α-MMC)和β-苦瓜子蛋白(β-momorcharin,β-MMC),其等电点分别为9.10(α-MMC),9.32(β-MMC)。用ESI-MS和MALDI-TOF-MS测定它们的分子量,分别为28625(α-MMC),29076(β-MMC)(+Na,29099);28795(α-MMC),29074.7(β-MMC)。它们都是糖蛋白。其生物活性的分析测定表明,都属于RNAN-糖苷酶。本文重点对β-苦瓜子蛋白的分离纯化及其性质进行详细报道,并对其N-端部分的氨基酸顺序进行了测定。

Two ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP's), α- and β- momorcharin (α- and β-MMC) have been isolated from the seeds of bitter melon (Momordica charantia), a traditional Chinese folk medicine. This was done by acetone fractionaction and chromatographies on CM-Sephadex C- 50 and Sephadex G-75. The molecular weights of the purified proteins as determined by ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS were 28625 (α-MMC), 29076(β -MMC) and 28795 (α-MMC), 29074(β-MMC), respectively. Both of them were found to be glycoproteins and have pI values of 9.10 (α-MMC) and 9.32 (β-MMC). Biological activity assay revealed both of them were RNAN-glycosidase and depurinate 28S rRNA in the ribosomes in a manner identical to that of trichosanthin. Here the isolation, physicochemical properties and N-terminal amino acid sequence of β- MMC are described.
