DDT dehydrochlorinase was isolated in a highly purified form by a procedure involving affinity chromatography, gel-permeation chromatography and preparative isoelectrofocusing. At least two protein species appeared to possess DDT dehydrochlorinase activity; the principal one of these was purified by a factor of 660-fold. This appeared to be dimeric with subunits of MW of 23,000 and 25,000. Another protein with this activity appeared to consist of 2 identical subunits of MW 25,000. The protein with greatest activity was isoelectric at pH 7.1. It was homogeneous on analytical gel electrophoresis in both the presence and absence of sodium dodecylsulfate. The same protein generated a number of minor protein bands on analytical electrofocusing in polyacrylamide gels, but there is evidence that these bands may be artifactual. Both purified forms of the enzyme possessed substantial glutathione S-transferase activity with both CDNB [sodium dodecylsulfate] and DCNB [3, 4-dichloronitrobenzene]. An acidic protein, a dimer of subunits of MW 23,000 had substantial GSH transferase activity with CDNB as substrate, but had no DDT dehydrochlorinase activity.
