Hydroxyapatite Chromatography of Squid Translocator Purified by Gel Filtration
Samples corresponding to fractions 28–32 from the gel filtration column shown in Figure 4 were pooled and applied to a 1 × 6 cm hydroxyapatite column equilibrated with gel filtration buffer at pH 7.4. Proteins were eluted with a 0–0.3 M phosphate gradient, and 0.5 ml fractions were collected. Microtubule-movement-inducing activity, assayed by serial dilution, correlated with the presence of 110 and 65 kd polypeptides in eluant fractions. Fraction 40 contains approximately 35 μg/ml of protein.
