Abstract

NEW MATERIAL:A protein which has about 27 kilodalton molecular weight by certification of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, contains an amino acid sequence shown by the formula and has a collagen-like structure with a repeating unit shown by the formula Gly-X-Y (X and Y are arbitrary amino acid residue) in about 40 amino acid residue at the N end thereof. USE:Having close relation to hinbernation of animal and being expected to contribute to control of sleeping function and adjustment of resistance of body to microbism, radiation, low temperature, etc. PREPARATION:Blood of Asiatic chipmunk is collected, mixed with heparin to prevent coagulation and centrifuged to give plasma. The prepared plasma is fractionated by using gel filtration column by HPLC and a protein fraction corresponding to about 140 kilodalton molecular weight is collected. The fraction is concentrated, desalted and the prepared concentrated substance is subjected to slab gel electrophoresis of SDS-polyacrylamide gel to give a protein showing a single band and having about 27 kilodalton molecular weight.

(Question 1 to be solved by the invention!IN) Regarding the so-called hibernation phenomenon, in which mammals such as chipmunks and dormice lose their activity during the winter and maintain their lives without ingesting much water or food. Although it has been known for a long time, the actual situation has not been fully elucidated.The purpose of the present invention is to elucidate the factors that influence the manifestation of the hibernation phenomenon.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present inventors previously conducted a hibernation induction experiment on chipmunks by exposing them to low temperatures for a long period of time, and investigated cardiac function during hibernation. It was found that the electrical and mechanical properties of the animals changed significantly, and that these changes began before the onset of hibernation.

As a result of conducting studies focusing on the above facts, we found that a certain type of protein present in the blood of non-hibernating chipmunks gradually decreases before the start of hibernation, and almost disappears during hibernation. It was confirmed. As a result of further studies based on the above findings, the present invention was achieved by isolating this protein and elucidating its properties and structure.
