Immunofluorescent studies showed that antibodies prepared against bovine milk sulfhydryl oxidase reacted with acinar cells of porcine and bovine pancreas. A close inspection of the specific location within bovine pancreatic cells revealed that the zymogen granules, themselves, bound the fluorescent antibody. Bovine pancreatic tissue was homogenized in 0.3 M sucrose, then separated into the zymogen granule fraction by differential centrifugation. The intact zymogen granules were immunofluorescent positive when incubated with antibodies to bovine milk sulfhydryl oxidase, and glutathione-oxidizing activity was detected under standard assay conditions. Pancreatic sulfhydryl oxidase was purified from the zymogen fraction by precipitation with 50% saturated ammonium sulfate, followed by Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. Active fractions were pooled and subjected to covalent affinity chromatography on cysteinylsuccinamidopropyl-glass using 2 mM glutathione as eluant at 37 degrees C. The specific activity of bovine pancreatic sulfhydryl oxidase thus isolated was 10-20 units/mg protein using 0.8 mM glutathione as substrate. Ouchterlony double-diffusion studies showed that antibody directed against the purified bovine milk enzyme reacted identically with pancreatic sulfhydryl oxidase. The antibody also immunoprecipitated glutathione-oxidizing activity from crude pancreatic homogenates. Western blotting analysis indicated a 90,000 Mr antigen-reactive band in both bovine milk and pancreatic fractions while sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single silver-staining protein with an apparent Mr 300,000. Thus, we believe that sulfhydryl oxidase may exist in an aggregated molecular form. Bovine pancreatic sulfhydryl oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of low-molecular-weight thiols such as glutathione, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and glycylglycyl-L-cysteine, as well as that of a high-molecular-weight protein substrate, reductively denatured pancreatic ribonuclease A.
