Whole-cell preparations of Clostridium thermoaceticum were exposed to a short pulse of (14)CO(2) under conditions in which double-labeled acetate was synthesized. Radioactive methyltetrahydrofolate monoglutamate, diglutamate, and triglutamates were isolated from extracts of the cells. The radioactivity was found to be exclusively in the five methyl position. The specific activities of the methyltetrahydrofolate derivatives were very high and were in accord with the proposal that methyltetrahydrofolates are the precursors of the methyl of acetate. A new method of separation of folates employing QAE-Sephadex chromatography and a linear gradient with triethylammonium bicarbonate is presented which completely resolves the common folate monoglutamates and, upon freeze-drying, yields salt-free preparations.
在合成双标记乙酸盐的条件下,将热醋梭菌的全细胞制剂暴露于短脉冲的(14)CO₂ 中。从细胞提取物中分离出放射性甲基四氢叶酸单谷氨酸、二谷氨酸和三谷氨酸。发现放射性仅存在于五个甲基位置。甲基四氢叶酸衍生物的比活性非常高,这与甲基四氢叶酸是乙酸盐甲基前体的提议一致。提出了一种使用QAE-葡聚糖凝胶色谱和碳酸氢三乙铵线性梯度分离叶酸的新方法,该方法能完全分离常见的叶酸单谷氨酸,冻干后可得到无盐制剂。
