Purification and some characteristics of liver cytosol cornin, an antimitotic substance from rat liver cytosol.

???displayArticle.abstract???
Further purification and characterization are reported on rat cytosol cornin (RLCC), an antimitotic substance. Fraction I (purified RLCC) was purified more than 10-fold from crude RLCC with Sephadex G-50 column chromatography and showed a remarkable inhibitory effect on division of inseminated sea urchin eggs and mouse fibroblast cells. Fraction I was observed as one spot, and the molecular weight was estimated to be about 25,000 by thin layer gel filtration. Fraction I contained protein (92%) and RNA (8%), but the antimitotic activity was scarcely affected by treatment by pancreatic RNase. The protein of Fraction I was separated into two bands by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the molecular weight was estimated as 10,000 and 15,000, respectively. The 50% inhibition dose of Fraction I on the first division of inseminated sea urchin eggs and on proliferation of mouse L cells was about 2.5 X 10(-5) g/ml and 5 X 10(-4) g/ml, respectively. The yield of fraction I was about 35 mg from 100 g rat liver.
