Abstract

Mitogenetic glycoprotein PHA-L4 with high activity was obtained from phytohemagglutinin(PHA) after the separation and purification by means of anion exchange chromatography and biological activity inspection.The structure of the product was then identified by means of SDS-PAGE,mass spectrometry,N-terminal sequencing measurement and peptide mass fingerprint.The results indicate that PHA-L4 is a kind of glycoprotein tetramer composed of 4 PHA-L subunits,with a relative molecular mass of 120000,and that each subunit is heterogeneously glycosylated at the 12th Asn to a certain degree.
