Comparative study of conjugation between horseradish peroxidase and D- cytochrome b5. Incorporation into subcellular membranes

M Collot, M Kalff, E Delaive and J Remacle

Horseradish peroxidase was conjugated to D-cytochrome b5 by three different two-step methods. The yield of conjugates based on the peroxidase enzymatic activity recovered after gel filtration was very low in the glutaraldehyde method, but higher in the N-succinimidyl 3-(2- pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) and periodate methods. The molecular size of the conjugates was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Monomeric conjugates were mostly formed via the glutaraldehyde and SPDP methods in the presence of appropriate molar ratios of proteins. Most of the conjugates formed via the periodate method were polymers. The conjugate preparations of the three methods could be incorporated into microsomal membranes. Conjugate polymers, however, appeared less able to be incorporated then monomers. There was a nonpreferential incorporation of free or conjugated D-cytochrome b5 contained in the conjugate preparation of the glutaraldehyde method. In conclusion, this study gives preference to the glutaraldehyde method for the preparation of conjugates that will subsequently be used as an in vivo marker of the D-cytochrome b5 incorporation into membranes.
