A simple and efficient procedure for the production and purification of streptolysin S has been developed. Maximal production of the hemolysin occurred when rapidly grown streptococci were harvested 1 h after reaching the stationary phase and incubated with the inducer oligoribonucleotide. Ammonium acetate at 0.1min 50 mmpotassium phosphate buffer, pH 6.8, was found to effectively protect streptolysin S from thermal inactivation, and was used in the buffer throughout purification. The three-step purification procedure resulted in preparations with the highest specific activity (1.2 × 107HU per mg protein) ever reported, in recoveries ranging from 35 to 45%. The apparent molecular weights of streptolysin S and the carrier oligonucleotide were estimated as 15,000 and 7,100, respectively. The peptide nature of the active principle was confirmed by studies of the effects of various hydrolytic enzymes on streptolysin S; only pronase, chymotrypsin and subtilisin were found to inactivate the hemolysin. Amino acid analyses indicated that the active peptide consisted of 32 amino acid residues.
