When cell membranes are treated with Triton X-100 or other detergents at 4 degrees C, a nonsolubilized fraction can often be recovered, the "detergent-resistant membranes", that is not found when detergent treatment takes place at 37 degrees C. Detergent-resistant membranes may be related in some cases to membrane "rafts". However, several basic aspects of the formation of detergent-resistant membranes are poorly understood. To answer some of the relevant questions, a simple bilayer composition that would mimic detergent-resistant membranes was required. The screening of multiple lipid compositions has shown that the binary mixture egg sphingomyelin/egg ceramide (SM/Cer) exhibits the required detergent resistance. In detergent-free membranes composed of different mixtures of SM and Cer (5-30 mol % of Cer) differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy experiments reveal the presence of discrete, Cer-enriched gel domains in a broad temperature range. In particular, at temperatures below SM phase transition ( approximately 40 degrees C) two gel (respectively Cer-rich and SM-rich) phases are directly observed using fluorescence microscopy. Although pure SM membranes are fully solubilized by Triton X-100 at room temperature, 5 mol % Cer is also enough to induce detergent resistance, even with a large detergent excess and lengthy equilibration times. Short-chain Cers do not give rise to detergent resistance. SM/Cer mixtures containing up to 30 mol % Cer become fully soluble at approximately 50 degrees C, i.e., well above the gel-fluid transition temperature of SM. The combined results of temperature-dependent solubilization and differential scanning calorimetry reveal that SM-rich domains are preferentially solubilized over the Cer-rich ones as soon as the former melt (i.e., at approximately 40 degrees C). As a consequence, at temperatures allowing only partial solubilization, the nonsolubilized residue is enriched in Cer with respect to the original bilayer composition. Fluorescence microscopy of giant unilamellar vesicles at room temperature clearly shows that SM-rich domains are preferentially solubilized over the Cer-rich ones and that the latter become more rigid and extensive as a consequence of the detergent effects. These observations may be relevant to the phenomena of sphingomyelinase-dependent signaling, generation of "raft platforms", and detergent-resistant cell membranes. 相似文献

The origin of resistance to detergent solubilization in certain membranes, or membrane components, is not clearly understood. We have studied the solubilization by Triton X-100 of binary mixtures composed of egg sphingomyelin (SM) and either ceramide, diacylglycerol, or cholesterol. Solubilization has been assayed in the 4–50°C range, and the results are summarized in a novel, to our knowledge, form of plots, that we have called temperature-solubilization diagrams. Despite using a large detergent excess (lipid/detergent 1:20 mol ratio) and extended solubilization times (24–48 h) certain mixtures were not amenable to Triton X-100 solubilization at one or more temperatures. DSC of all the lipid mixtures, and of all the lipid + detergent mixtures revealed that detergent resistance was associated with the presence of gel domains at the assay temperature. Once the system melted down, solubilization could occur. In general adding high-melting lipids limited the solubilization, whereas the addition of low-melting lipids promoted it. Lipidomic analysis of Madin-Darby canine kidney cell membranes and of the corresponding detergent-resistant fraction indicated a large enrichment of the nonsolubilized components in saturated diacylglycerol and ceramide. SM-cholesterol mixtures were special in that detergent solubilization was accompanied, for certain temperatures and compositions, by an independent phenomenon of reassembly of the partially solubilized lipid bilayers. The temperature at which lysis and reassembly prevailed was ∼25°C, thus for some SM-cholesterol mixtures solubilization occurred both above and below 25°C, but not at that temperature. These observations can be at the origin of the detergent resistance effects observed with cell membranes, and they also mean that cholesterol-containing detergent-resistant membrane remnants cannot correspond to structures existing in the native membrane before detergent addition. 相似文献

The mechanisms governing the solubilization by Triton X-100, octyl glucoside, and sodium cholate of large unilamellar liposomes prepared by reverse-phase evaporation were investigated. The solubilization process is described by the three-stage model previously proposed for these detergents [Lichtenberg, D., Robson, R.J., & Dennis, E.A.(1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 737, 285-304]. In stage I, detergent monomers are incorporated into the phospholipid bilayers until they saturate the liposomes. At that point, i.e., stage II, mixed phospholipid-detergent micelles begin to form. By stage III, the lamellar to micellar transition is complete and all the phospholipids are present as mixed micelles. The turbidity of liposome preparations was systematically measured as a function of the amount of detergent added for a wide range of phospholipid concentrations (from 0.25 to 20 mM phospholipid). The results allowed a quantitative determination of RSat, the effective detergent to lipid molar ratios in the saturated liposomes, which were 0.64, 1.3, and 0.30 for Triton X-100, octyl glucoside, and sodium cholate, respectively. The corresponding ratios in the mixed micelles, RSol, were 2.5, 3.8, and 0.9 mol of detergent/mol of phospholipid. The monomer concentrations of the three detergents in the aqueous phase were also determined at the lamellar to micellar transitions (0.18, 17, and 2.8 mM, respectively). These transitions were also investigated by 31P NMR spectroscopy, and complete agreement was found with turbidity measurements. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy and permeability studies in the sublytic range of detergent concentrations indicated that during stage I of solubilization detergent partitioning between the aqueous phase and the lipid bilayer greatly affects the basic permeability of the liposomes without significantly changing the morphology of the preparations. A rough approximation of the partition coefficients was derived from the turbidity and permeability data (K = 3.5, 0.09, and 0.11 mM-1 for Triton X-100, octyl glucoside, and sodium cholate, respectively). It is concluded that when performed systematically, turbidity measurements constitute a very convenient and powerful technique for the quantitative study of the liposome solubilization process by detergents. 相似文献

It is generally accepted that P-glycoprotein binds its substrates in the lipid phase of the membrane. Quantification and characterization of the lipid-transporter binding step are, however, still a matter of debate. We therefore selected 15 structurally diverse drugs and measured the binding constants from water to the activating (inhibitory) binding region of P-glycoprotein, K(tw(1)) (K(tw(2))), as well as the lipid-water partition coefficients, K(lw). The former were obtained by measuring the concentrations of half-maximum activation (inhibition), K(1) (K(2)), in living NIH-MDR-G185 mouse embryo fibroblasts using a Cytosensor microphysiometer, and the latter were derived from surface activity measurements. This allowed determination of the membrane concentration of drugs at half-maximum P-glycoprotein activation (C(b(1)) = (0.02 to 67) mmol/L lipid), which is much higher than the corresponding aqueous concentration (K(1) = (0.02 to 376) microM). Moreover we determined the free energy of drug binding from water to the activating binding region of the transporter (DeltaG degrees (tw(1)) = (-30 to -54) kJ/mol), the free energy of drug partitioning into the lipid membrane (DeltaG degrees (lw) = (-23 to -34) kJ/mol), and, as the difference of the two, the free energy of drug binding from the lipid membrane to the activating binding region of the transporter (DeltaG degrees (tl(1)) = (-7 to -27) kJ/mol). For the compounds tested DeltaG degrees (tl(1)) was less negative than DeltaG degrees (lw) but varied more strongly. The free energies of substrate binding to the transporter within the lipid phase, DeltaG degrees (tl(1)), are consistent with a modular binding concept, where the energetically most efficient binding module comprises two hydrogen bond acceptor groups. 相似文献

Octyl beta-D-glucoside was synthetized from alpha-acetobromoglucose with an improved method yielding a very pure product with a sharp melting point (108-109 degrees C) and free of intermediate products as judged by IR and NMR spectra. The yield of the synthesis is 66% when referred to alpha-acetobromoglucose. The potency of this compound as a detergent on hog kidney brush border membranes was compared to the action of Triton X-100. Octyl glucoside preferentially extracts aminopeptidase M and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase in a concentration-dependent manner. The more deeply imbedded membrane enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, was relatively resistent to the action of octyl glucoside. In contrast, Triton X-100 extracted all membrane proteins to about the same extent. Additionally it was found that octyl glucoside can be removed from membrane extracts by Biobead SM 2. The capacity of the beads is about 170 mg detergent/g of dry Biobead SM 2. Thus octyl glucoside seems to be a useful tool for solubilization and purification of brush border membranes proteins. 相似文献

The zwitterionic detergent CHAPS, a derivative of the bile salts, is widely used in membrane protein solubilization. It is a “facial” detergent, having a hydrophilic side and a hydrophobic back. The objective of this work is to characterize the interaction of CHAPS with a cell membrane. To this aim, erythrocytes were incubated with a wide range of detergent concentrations in order to determine CHAPS partition behavior, and its effects on membrane lipid order, hemolytic effects, and the solubilization of membrane phospholipids and cholesterol. The results were compared with those obtained with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100. It was found that CHAPS has a low affinity for the erythrocyte membrane (partition coefficient K = 0.06 mM− 1), and at sub-hemolytic concentrations it causes little effect on membrane lipid order. CHAPS hemolysis and phospholipid solubilization are closely correlated. On the other side, binding of Triton X-100 disorders the membrane at all levels, and has independent mechanisms for hemolysis and solubilization. Differential behavior was observed in the solubilization of phospholipids and cholesterol. Thus, the detergent resistant membranes (DRM) obtained with the two detergents will have different composition. The behaviors of the two detergents are related to the differences in their molecular structures, suggesting that CHAPS does not penetrate the lipid bilayer but binds in a flat position on the erythrocyte surface, both in intact and cholesterol depleted erythrocytes. A relevant result for Triton X-100 is that hemolysis is not directly correlated with the solubilization of membrane lipids, as it is usually assumed. 相似文献

The interaction of multilamellar phosphatidylcholine vesicles with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 has been studied under equilibrium conditions, specially in the sub-lytic range of surfactant concentrations. Equilibrium was achieved in less than 24 h. Estimations of detergent binding to bilayers, using [3H]Triton X-100, indicate that the amphiphile is incorporated even at very low concentrations (below its critical micellar concentration); a dramatic increase in the amount of bound Triton X-100 occurs at detergent concentrations just below those producing membrane solubilization. Solubilization occurs at phospholipid/detergent molar ratios near 0.65 irrespective of lipid concentration. The perturbation produced by the surfactant in the phospholipid bilayer has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, NMR and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. At low detergent concentration (lipid/detergent molar ratios above 3), a reduction in 2H-NMR quadrupolar splitting occurs, suggesting a decrease in the static order of the acyl chains; the same effect is detected by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in the form of blue shifts of the methylene stretching vibration bands. Simultaneously, the enthalpy variation of the main phospholipid phase transition is decreased by about a third with respect to its value in the pure lipid/water system. For phospholipid/detergent molar ratios between 3 and 1, the decrease in lipid static order does not proceed any further; rather an increase in fluidity is observed, characterized by a marked decrease in the midpoint transition temperature of the gel-to-fluid phospholipid transition. At the same time an isotropic component is apparent in both 31P-NMR and 2H-NMR spectra, and a new low-temperature endotherm is detected in differential scanning calorimetric traces. When phospholipid and Triton X-100 are present at equimolar ratios some bilayer structure persists, as judged from calorimetric observations, but NMR reveals only one-component isotropic signals. At lipid/detergent molar ratios below unity, the NMR lines become narrower, the main (lamellar) calorimetric endotherm tends to vanish and solubilization occurs. 相似文献

Phase separation of integral membrane proteins in Triton X-114 solution 总被引:371,自引:0,他引:371

A solution of the nonionic detergent Triton X-114 is homogeneous at 0 degrees C but separates in an aqueous phase and a detergent phase above 20 degrees C. The extent of this detergent phase separation increases with the temperature and is sensitive to the presence of other surfactants. The partition of proteins during phase separation in solutions of Triton X-114 is investigated. Hydrophilic proteins are found exclusively in the aqueous phase, and integral membrane proteins with an amphiphilic nature are recovered in the detergent phase. Triton X-114 is used to solubilize membranes and whole cells, and the soluble material is submitted to phase separation. Integral membrane proteins can thus be separated from hydrophilic proteins and identified as such in crude membrane or cellular detergent extracts. 相似文献

Detergent-resistant membranes (DRM), an experimental model used to study lipid rafts, are typically extracted from cells by means of detergent treatment and subsequent ultracentrifugation in density gradients, Triton X-100 being the detergent of choice in most of the works. Since lipid rafts are membrane microdomains rich in cholesterol, depletion of this component causes solubilization of DRM with detergent. In previous works from our group, the lack of effect of cholesterol depletion on DRM solubilization with Triton X-100 was detected in isolated rat brain synaptosomes. In consequence, the aim of the present work is to explore reasons for this observation, analyzing the possible role of the actin cytoskeleton, as well as the use of an alternative detergent, Brij 98, to overcome the insensitivity to Triton X-100 of cholesterol-depleted DRM. Brij 98 yields Brij-DRM that are highly dependent on cholesterol, since marker proteins (Flotillin-1 and Thy-1), as well as actin, appear solubilized after MCD treatment. Pretreatment with Latrunculin A results in a significant increase in Flotillin-1, Thy-1 and actin solubilization by Triton X-100 after cholesterol depletion. Studies with transmission electron microscopy show that combined treatment with MCD and Latrunculin A leads to a significant increase in solubilization of DRM with Triton X-100. Thus, Triton-DRM resistance to cholesterol depletion can be explained, at least partially, thanks to the scaffolding action of the actin cytoskeleton, without discarding differential effects of Brij 98 and Triton X-100 on specific membrane components. In conclusion, the detergent of choice is important when events that depend on the actin cytoskeleton are going to be studied. 相似文献

The present study explores intermediate stages in detergent solubilization of liposomes and Ca2+-ATPase membranes by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and medium-sized ( approximately C12) nonionic detergents. In all cases detergent partitioning in the membranes precedes cooperative binding and solubilization, which is facilitated by exposure to detergent micelles. Nonionic detergents predominantly interact with the lipid component of Ca2+-ATPase membranes below the CMC (critical micellar concentration), whereas SDS extracts Ca2+-ATPase before solubilization of lipid. At the transition to cooperative binding, n-dodecyl octaethylene glycol monoether (C12E8), Triton X-100, and dodecyldimethylamine oxide induce fusion of small unilamellar liposomes to larger vesicles before solubilization. Solubilization of Ca2+-ATPase membranes is accompanied by membrane fragmentation and aggregation rather than vesicle fusion. Detergents with strongly hydrophilic heads (SDS and beta-D-dodecylmaltoside) only very slowly solubilize liposomal membranes and do not cause liposome fusion. These properties are correlated with a slow bilayer flip-flop. Our data suggest that detergent solubilization proceeds by a combination of 1) a transbilayer attack, following flip-flop of detergent molecules across the lipid bilayer, and 2) extraction of membrane components directly by detergent micelles. The present study should help in the design of efficient solubilization protocols, accomplishing the often delicate balance between preserving functional properties of detergent sensitive membrane proteins and minimizing secondary aggregation and lipid content. 相似文献

Fractionation of detergent lysates of cells by ammonium sulphate-induced phase separation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A procedure is described for fractionating detergent lysates of cells based on the ability of (NH4)2SO4 to induce phase separation of detergents such as Triton X-100, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium cholate, into detergent-rich and detergent-depleted phases. An analysis of six murine lymphocyte cell surface molecules revealed that the partitioning in Triton X-100 of each molecule was highly dependent upon the (NH4)2SO4 concentration, each antigen partitioning into the detergent-rich phase at a defined salt concentration. In contrast, none of the six molecules appeared in the detergent-rich phase of a Triton X-114 phase separation, even though two of the molecules, namely Ly-2/3 and L3T4, are well-characterized integral membrane proteins. It was also observed that (NH4)2SO4 resulted in the partitioning of many nonmembrane proteins into the detergent-rich phase, indicating that the procedure can be used to fractionate all cellular proteins. By judicious choice of (NH4)2SO4 concentrations, precipitation of cellular proteins at two different (NH4)2SO4 concentrations, and combining the method with subcellular fractionation prior to detergent solubilization, substantial enrichment and concentration of particular cellular proteins could be achieved. 相似文献

Mixed micelle formation of the polydisperse nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 as well as its homogeneous analogue, p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenoxynonaoxyethylene glycol (OPE-9), with bovine brain sphingomyelin or dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine has been characterized by column chromatography on 6% agarose. At 40 degrees C, mixtures of OPE-9 and either sphingomyelin or dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine give a narrow size distribution for mixed micelles. A this temperature the size distribution of Triton X-100-containing mixed micelles is complicated because of the polydispersity of the oxyethylene chains. At 20 degrees C narrow size distributions are observed for mixed micelles of sphingomyelin/Triton X-100 and sphingomyelin/OPE-9 up to at least 0.06 mol fraction of lipid. For dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine this is observed only with OPE-9. At intermediate mol fractions of lipid (around 0.25), two populations of mixed micelles exist for sphingomyelin/Trition X-100, sphingomyelin/OPE-9, and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine/OPE-9. At high mol fractions of lipid only one population of mixed micelles again exists. At 20 degrees C, sphingoymelin forms a clear solution with Triton X-100 and OPE-9 to a lipid mol fraction of at least 0.46 and 0.67, respectively. Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine forms a clear solution with OPE-9 to a lipid mol fraction of at least 0.57 at the same temperature. Triton X-100 and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine do not form stable, clear solutions at 20 degrees C unless the lipid mol fraction is extremely low. These results show that surfactant polydispersity and temperature are important determinants in the solubilization of lipids by nonionic surfactants. It is also shown that pure surfactant micelles and lipid/surfactant mixed micelles do not co-exist in the same solution. 相似文献

It has been repeatedly observed that lipid bilayers in the gel phase are solubilized by lower concentrations of Triton X-100, at least within certain temperature ranges, or other nonionic detergents than bilayers in the fluid phase. In a previous study, we showed that detergent partition coefficients into the lipid bilayer were the same for the gel and the fluid phases. In this contribution, turbidity, calorimetry, and 31P-NMR concur in showing that bilayers in the gel state (at least down to 13-20°C below the gel-fluid transition temperature) become saturated with detergent at lower detergent concentrations than those in the fluid state, irrespective of temperature. The different saturation may explain the observed differences in solubilization. 相似文献

Various aspects of membrane solubilization by the Triton X-series of nonionic detergents were examined in pig liver mitochondrial membranes. Binding of Triton X-100 to nonsolubilized membranes was saturable with increased concentrations of the detergent. Maximum binding occurred at concentrations exceeding 0.5% Triton X-100 (w/v). Solubilization of both protein and phospholipid increased with increasing Triton X-100 to a plateau which was dependent on the initial membrane protein concentration used. At low detergent concentrations (less than 0.087% Triton X-100, w/v), proteins were preferentially solubilized over phospholipids. At higher Triton X-100 concentrations the opposite was true. Using the well-defined Triton X-series of detergents, the optimal hydrophile-lipophile balance number (HLB) for solubilization of phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase (EC 2.7.8.5) was 13.5, corresponding to Triton X-100. Activity was solubilized optimally at detergent concentrations between 0.1 and 0.2% (w/v). The optimal protein-to-detergent ratio for solubilization was 3 mg protein/mg Triton X-100. Solubilization of phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase was generally better at low ionic strength, though total protein solubilization increased at high ionic strength. Solubilization was also dependent on pH. Significantly higher protein solubilization was observed at high pH (i.e., 8.5), as was phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase solubilization. The manipulation of these variables in improving the recovery and specificity of membrane protein solubilization by detergents was examined. 相似文献

Early works have shown that when biomembranes are extracted with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C, only a subset of the components is solubilized. The aim of this paper was to investigate the solubilization of a cell membrane at different Triton concentrations, and to compare the lipid composition and acyl chain order/mobility of the insoluble material with those of the original membrane. We choose bovine erythrocytes, because they have an uncommon composition, as they have a huge amount of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine is almost absent. We determined the degree of order/mobility of the lipid acyl chains by EPR spectroscopy, using liposoluble spin labels. Incubation of bovine erythrocytes with increasing Triton X-100 concentrations yields decreasing amounts of insoluble material which is enriched in sphingomyelin and depleted in cholesterol. Complete lipid solubilization is achieved at a detergent/lipid ratio of about 60, which is much higher than the values reported for human erythrocytes, but is in line with results obtained in model systems. An insoluble pellet is still obtained at higher Triton concentrations, which seems to consist mainly of protein. A very high correlation is found between lipid chain mobility restrictions and sphingomyelin content in the lipid structures. The human erythrocyte membrane also fits well in this correlation, suggesting a significant role of sphingomyelin in determining acyl chain organization. The analogies and differences between our insoluble material and the detergent-resistant membranes (DRM) are discussed. 相似文献

The partition equilibria of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and lithium dodecyl sulfate between water and bilayer membranes were investigated with isothermal titration calorimetry and spectroscopic methods (light scattering, (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance) in the temperature range of 28 degrees C to 56 degrees C. The partitioning of the dodecyl sulfate anion (DS(-)) into the bilayer membrane is energetically favored by an exothermic partition enthalpy of Delta H(O)(D) = -6.0 kcal/mol at 28 degrees C. This is in contrast to nonionic detergents where Delta H(O)(D) is usually positive. The partition enthalpy decreases linearly with increasing temperature and the molar heat capacity is Delta C(O)(P) = -50 +/- 3 cal mol(-1) K(-1). The partition isotherm is nonlinear if the bound detergent is plotted versus the free detergent concentration in bulk solution. This is caused by the electrostatic repulsion between the DS(-) ions inserted into the membrane and those free in solution near the membrane surface. The surface concentration of DS(-) immediately above the plane of binding was hence calculated with the Gouy-Chapman theory, and a strictly linear relationship was obtained between the surface concentration and the extent of DS(-) partitioning. The surface partition constant K describes the chemical equilibrium in the absence of electrostatic effects. For the SDS-membrane equilibrium K was found to be 1.2 x 10(4) M(-1) to 6 x 10(4) M(-1) for the various systems and conditions investigated, very similar to data available for nonionic detergents of the same chain length. The membrane-micelle phase diagram was also studied. Complete membrane solubilization requires a ratio of 2.2 mol SDS bound per mole of total lipid at 56 degrees C. The corresponding equilibrium concentration of SDS free in solution is C (sat)(D,F) approximately 1.7 mM and is slightly below the critical micelles concentration (CMC) = 2.1 mM (at 56 degrees C and 0.11 M buffer). Membrane saturation occurs at approximately 0.3 mol SDS per mol lipid and the equilibrium SDS concentration is C (sat)(D,F)approximately equal 2.2 mM +/- 0.6 mM. SDS translocation across the bilayer is slow at ambient temperature but increases at high temperatures. 相似文献

A systematic study of liposome and proteoliposome reconstitution involving Bio-Bead-mediated Triton X-100 removal 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Equilibrium and kinetic aspects of Triton X-100 adsorption onto hydrophobic Bio-Beads SM2 were investigated in detail using the batch procedure originally described by Holloway, P.W. (1973) Anal. Biochem. 53, 304-308. The results demonstrated the importance of the initial detergent concentration, the amount of beads, the commercial source of the detergent, the temperature and the presence of phospholipids in determining the rates of Triton X-100 adsorption onto Bio-Beads. One of the main findings was that Bio-Beads allowed the almost complete removal of Triton X-100, whatever the initial experimental conditions. It was shown that monomeric as well as micellar detergent could be adsorbed and that a key factor in determining the rate of detergent removal was the availability of the free bead surface. Rates of detergent removal were found to be linearly related to the amount of beads even for bead concentrations above those sufficient to remove all the detergent initially present. Adsorptive capacity of phospholipids onto Bio-Beads SM2 was also analyzed and found to be much smaller (2 mg lipid per g of wet beads) than that of Triton X-100 (185 mg TX 100 per g of wet beads). A more general aspect of this work was that the use of Bio-Beads SM2 provided a convenient way for varying and controlling the time course of Triton X-100 removal. The method was further extended to the formation of liposomes from phospholipid-Triton X-100 micelles and the size of the liposomes was found to be critically dependent upon the rate of detergent removal. A general procedure was described to prepare homogeneous populations of vesicles. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy and permeability studies indicated that the liposomes thus obtained were unilamellar, relatively large and impermeable. Noteworthy, this new procedure was shown to be well suited for the reconstitution of different membrane transport proteins such as bacteriorhodopsin, Ca2(+)-ATPase and H(+)-ATPase. 相似文献

After solubilization with the detergent Triton X-114, membrane proteins may be separated into three groups: if the membrane is sufficiently lipid-rich, one family of hydrophobic constituents separates spontaneously at low temperature; warming at 30 degrees C leads to separation of a detergent-rich phase and an aqueous phase. Using the chromaffin-granule membrane as a model, we found that many intrinsic membrane glycoproteins are found in the latter phase, probably maintained in solution by adherent detergent. They precipitate, however, when this is removed by dialysis, leaving in solution those truly hydrophilic proteins that were originally adhering to the membranes. We have used this method with mitochondria, and with Golgi- and rough-endoplasmic-reticulum-enriched microsomal fractions: it has proved to be a rapid and convenient method for effecting a partial separation of proteins from a variety of different membranes. 相似文献

The effect of Triton X-100 on purified sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles has been studied by means of chemical, ultrastructural and enzymic techniques. At low detergent/membrane ratios (about 1 Triton X-100 per 60 phospholipid molecules) the only effect observed is an increase in vesicle permeability. Higher surfactant concentrations, up to a 1:1 detergent/phospholipid ratio, produce a large enhancement of ATPase activity. Membrane solubilization occurs as a critical phenomenon when the surfactant/phospholipid molar ratio reaches a value around 1.5:1, corresponding to 2 μmol Triton X-100/mg protein. At this point, the suspension turbidity drops, virtually all the protein and phospholipid is solubilized and every organized structure disappears. Simultaneously, a dramatic increase in the specific activity of the solubilized ATPase is observed. The sudden solubilization of almost all the bilayer components at a given detergent concentration is attributed to the relative simplicity of this membrane system. Solubilization takes place at the same surfactant/membrane ratio, at least between 0.5 and 4 mg membrane protein/ml. The non-solubilized residue seems to consist mainly of delipidized aggregated forms of ATPase. 相似文献

Summary The effects produced by the detergents Triton X-100, sodium dodecylsulphate and sodium cholate on sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles have been comparatively studied. In all cases, maximal effects are found 5 min after detergent addition. Triton X-100 and SDS are approximately ten times more effective than cholate in protein and phospholipid solubilization. Both Triton X-100 and SDS maintain Ca++ accumulation in SR vesicles at detergent concentrations below 10–3 M; higher concentrations cause a strong inhibition. On the other hand, cholate produces a gradual inhibition of Ca++ accumulation in the concentration range between 10–4 M and 2.5 × 10–2 M. Triton X-100 and SDS produce a gradual solubilization of the specific Ca++-ATPase activity up to a 10–3 M detergent concentration, above which a strong inactivation occurs, while the enzyme solubilization increases with the presence of cholate in the whole concentration range under study. The different behaviour of sodium cholate, when compared to SDS or Triton X-100, is discussed in relation to the surfactant molecular structures. The possibility of membrane lysis and reassembly in the presence of some detergents is also considered.Abbreviations SR
