After extracting the cellular glutathione and some other low molecular weight (LMW) thiols using trichloroacetic acid the resulting the protein precipitate was extracted with buffered 8 M urea containing 2-chloromercuri-4-nitrophenol in an equimolar amount to that of the thiol present. After removing the insoluble chromatin fraction the urea soluble labeled adducts formed were chromatographed on G15 Sephadex. Three yellow coloured (A410 nm) fractions were obtained; first, the excluded protein fraction containing 16.0 \u00b1 4.1% of the applied label followed by an intermediate fraction containing 5.9 \u00b1 1.2%. Finally a LMW fraction emerged which contained 77.2 \u00b1 3.7% of the total label applied and this was further analyzed by column chromatography, first on an anion exchange column and then on a PhenylSepharose 6 column to give what appeared to be a single component. LC\u2013MS analysis of this component gave a pattern of mercuri-clusters, formed on MS ionization showing possible parent ions at 704 or 588 m\/z, the former indicating that a thiol fragment of molecular weight approximately 467 could be present. No fragments with a single sulfur adduct (a 369 m\/z fragment) were observed The adduct was analyzed for cysteine and other amino acids, nucleic acid bases, ribose and deoxyribose sugars, selenium and phosphorus; all were negative leading to the conclusion that a new class of unknown LMW thiol is present concealed in the protein matrices of these cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20201343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,4]],"date-time":"2020-06-04T11:28:17Z","timestamp":1591270097000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Isolation and analysis of a non-protein low molecular weight thiol-mercurial adduct from human prostate lymph node cells (LNCaP)"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5148-7889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Gronow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Cancer Research Fund Laboratory, 7 The Maltings, Cottenham, Cambridge CB24 8RE, U.K."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620162610300_B1","first-page":"215","article-title":"Biosynthesis and biological properties of compounds containing highly reactive, reduced sulfane sulfur","volume":"53","author":"Iciek","year":"2001","journal-title":"Pol.
