An improved method has been described for the isolation and purification of γ globulin from rice embryo. The method involves the extraction with phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 and ionic strength 0.1, the fractionation in saline solution of ionic strength 0.31, the removal of nucleic acids by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and the gel filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-200 column. Although the preparations exhibited homogeneous patterns in sedimentation analysis, the electrophoretic patterns on polyacrylamide gels at pH 8.35 and ionic strength 0.11 exhibited at least two components. Three major components, γ1, γ2 and γ3 globulins, were isolated by ion exchange chromatography on a DEAE Sephadex A-50 column. These components were revealed to be homogeneous in electrophoresis as well as sedimentation. N-Terminal amino acid compositions have also been described.
