Purification of sea urchin sperm bindin by DEAE-cellulose chromatography.
???displayArticle.abstract???
A procedure for purifying bindin from sperm of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is presented in detail. The impure bindin, dissolved in 4 M urea, 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.6, is adsorbed to DEAE-cellulose and eluted wit 4 M urea, 650 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.6. The purified bindin is not contaminated with tubulin or histone HI. A precipitate of this DEAE-purified bindin, made by dialysis into Ca2+-free seawater and natural seawater, is a species-specific agglutinin of unfertilized eggs. This method of obtaining consistently pure preparations of bindin will aid in the analysis of its role in fertilization.
