A new procedure for the purification of the arom multienzyme complex from Neurospora crassa is presented. Important factors are the inactivation of proteinases by phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride and the use of cellulose phosphate as an affinity adsorbent. A homogeneous enzyme, with a specific shikimate dehydrogenase activity of 70 units/mg of protein, is obtained in 25% yield. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, combined with cross-linking studies using dimethyl suberimidate, suggest that the complex is composed of two subunits of molecular weight 165000. Glycerol-density-gradient centrifugation indicates a molecular weight for the intact complex of about 270000. Evidence for the effects of proteolysis, both during the preparation and on storage of the purified complex, is presented, and previous reports in the literature of the occurrence of multiple subunits are discussed in this light.
