Chromatographic differentiation of the mitochondrial and cytosolic fumarases of rat liver and Baker's yeast and differential induction of two fumarases of Baker's yeast

Biochem Int. 1984 Oct;9(4):455-61.

Abstract

The mitochondrial and cytosolic fumarases of rat liver could be separated from each other by Bio-Gel HTP column chromatography, showing that there are some conformational differences between the native proteins of the mitochondrial and cytosolic fumarases which have been indistinguishable by their physicochemical, catalytic, and immunochemical properties. The fumarase associated with the mitochondrial fraction of Baker's yeast could also be separated from that located in the cytosol by the Bio-Gel HTP column chromatography. By applying this chromatography to the differential determination of the fumarase activities in the Baker's yeast cultured under various conditions, it was shown that the mitochondrial and cytosolic fumarases in the cell are regulated by independent control systems.
