ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MYELIN-RELATED MEMBRANES

Abstract— Myelin related membrane fractions from rat brain and spinal cord were isolated from material normally discarded during standard myelin isolation procedures. A fraction which floated on 0.32 M-sucrose (F) and the material released after subjecting the myelin fraction to osmotic shock at two stages in the purification (W₁ and W₂) were characterized. These fractions were subjected to subfractionation on three step discontinuous sucrose gradients. Morphologically, the heavier subfrac-tions of W₁ and W₂ were shown to consist mainly of single membranes and vesicles. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that, relative to myelin, proteolipid and basic protein were reduced in all subfractions, while the high molecular weight proteins were increased. The specific activity of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase (CNP) was up to 2-fold higher than that of myelin in the heavier subfractions of W₁ and W₂. The major myelin-associated glycoprotein was also increased in these subfractions as determined by periodic acid-Schiff staining. Differential centrifugation of the initial tissue homogenate to remove microsomes prior to myelin isolation gave rise to W₁ and W₂ subfractions with a CNP specific activity 3–4 times that of myelin. The high molecular weight proteins and glycoproteins were enriched in these microsome-depleted subfractions, but were qualitatively similar to those of myelin. Some of the membranes in these fractions may be derived from the continuum between the plasma membrane of the oligodendrocyte and compact myelin. Fraction F consisted of small membrane fragments and many vesicles, and was particularly deficient in proteolipid. The specific activity of CNP in fraction F was about the same as myelin, while the major myelin associated glycoprotein could not be detected. Fraction F from normal CNS tissue appears to be similar to the floating fractions previously isolated in larger amounts from pathological brain undergoing edematous demyelination.

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CHROMATIN FROM NEUROSPORA CRASSA

Different preparations of chromatin isolated from mycelia of Neurospora crassa were analyzed for DNA-associated RNA and proteins. The UV absorption spectra, the ultrastructure of chromatin, and the amino acid composition of the acid-extractable proteins were studied. The protein:DNA ratios range from 1.5 to 2.8; the RNA:DNA ratios range from 0.5 to 1.24. UV absorption shows a macimum at 259 mµ and a minimum at 238–239 mµ. The E280/E260 ranges from 0.59 to 0.70. Electron microscopy reveals a fibrous structure with individual fibers of 120–150 A average diameter. Attempts were made to study the protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and amino acid analysis. The results indicate that Neurospora chromatin does not contain basic proteins comparable to calf thymus histone. The ratios of basic to acidic amino acids range from 0.93 to 1.19. On electrophoresis, no bands are seen whose positions correspond to those of histones. Staining for basic proteins with fast green or eosin Y at pH 8.2 also shows a negative reaction, suggesting the absence of histones.     

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA FROM DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA) with a neutral buoyant density of 1.681 g/cm³ has been isolated from unfertilized eggs of Drosophila melanogaster. This DNA is a circular molecule with an average length of 5.3 µm; it reassociates with a low C₀t_1/2 after denaturation, and in alkaline isopycnic centrifugation it separates into strands differing in density by 0.005 g/cm³. MtDNA isolated from purified mitochondria of unfertilized eggs or from total larval DNA melts with three distinct thermal transitions. The three melting temperature values suggest that the molecule may have three regions differing in average base composition. DNA isolated from unfertilized eggs of D. melanogaster contains approximately equal amounts of MtDNA and another DNA with a buoyant density of 1.697 g/cm³, slightly less dense than main peak DNA. The possibility that the heavier DNA fraction consists of amplified ribosomal DNA was excluded by hybridization experiments, but otherwise nothing is known of its origin or function.     

ISOLATION OF THE PLASMA MEMBRANE OF THE LUMINAL SURFACE OF RAT BLADDER EPITHELIUM, AND THE OCCURRENCE OF A HEXAGONAL LATTICE OF SUBUNITS BOTH IN NEGATIVELY STAINED WHOLE MOUNTS AND IN SECTIONED MEMBRANES

A method of isolating the thick luminal membrane from homogenates of bladder epithelium is described, which entails pretreatment of the epithelium with fluorescein mercuric acetate and centrifugation of the homogenate on sucrose density gradients. A hexagonal array of hexamers is illustrated by negative contrast staining in whole mounts of the isolated thick membrane. Subunits are also shown in tangential sections of this thick membrane, in fixed, embedded bladder epithelium. The significance of the subunits is discussed in the context of membrane structure and permeability.     

ISOLATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MACRO- AND MICRONUCLEI FROM PARAMECIUM AURELIA

A method was developed for the isolation of macro- and micronuclei from Paramecium aurelia. This method utilized ionic and nonionic detergents to rupture the intact cells, calcium ions and spermidine were employed to protect the nuclei, and the nuclei were purified by centrifugation. Macronuclei consisted of 22% DNA, 10% RNA, and 68% protein. Micronuclei were composed of 9% DNA, 11% RNA, and 80% protein. DNA from both macro- and micronuclei had a density of 1.687 g/cc in CsCl and 1.417 g/cc in Cs₂SO₄. These values corresponded to G + C content of about 23%. The RNA of macronuclei was examined by gel electrophoresis, and two high molecular weight species were identified having molecular Weights of 1.3 x 10⁶ and 2.8 x 10⁶ daltons. Three syngens were studied, and in each case the conditions for isolation of the nuclei were the same and no differences were observed in the properties of the nuclei.

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GLUCOCEREBROSIDES FROM ADULT RAT BRAIN1

Abstract— By chromatography on borate-coated silicic acid, glucocerebrosides, galactocerebrosides, sulfatides and sphingomyelins from brain tissue could be efficiently separated. Adult rat brain was found to contain 54.1 ± 1.5 nmol of glucocerebrosides per gram fresh weight. Ninety percent of the glucocere-broside fatty acids were palmitate, stearate and oleate; fatty acids with chain lengths above C₂₀ were virtually absent. No hydroxy fatty acids were found. The long chain bases of adult rat brain glucocerebrosides consisted of 74.6% C₁₈-sphingosine, 24.4% C₁₈-sphinganine and 1.1% C₂₀-sphingosine. These results are compared to those obtained from glucocerebrosides from immature rat brains (Abe & Norton , 1974) and discussed in respect to changes occurring during brain development.     

ISOLATION AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRUSH BORDERS FROM RABBIT KIDNEY

A technique for the isolation of intact brush borders from rabbit renal cortex was evaluated. The procedure was monitored by phase and electron microscopy and marker enzymes, i.e. ATP:NMN adenylyl transferase, nuclear; cytochrome oxidase, mitochondrial; β-glucuronidase, lysosomal; and glucose-6-Pase, microsomal; and indicated an essentially pure preparation of brush borders. The disaccharidase, trehalase, previously reported in renal tubules, was localized uniquely in brush borders. Maltase was also found; the specific activities of the two enzymes in the brush borders were increased 10- to 20-fold. Other disaccharidases, such as sucrase, isomaltase, lactase, and cellobiase, were absent. It is suggested that trehalase and maltase are appropriate candidates for marker enzymes of the renal brush border. Isolated brush borders possessed a ouabain-sensitive (Na⁺ + K⁺) ATPase, an oligomycin-insensitive Mg⁺⁺ ATPase, and a Ca⁺⁺-activated ATPase. Alkaline phosphatases, dephosphorylating β-glycero-P, and trehalose-6-P were also present. The specific activities of these enzymes were increased three-to-five fold in the brush-border preparations; however, activities were found in other subcellular fractions of the renal cortex. Hexokinase, although evident in the isolated brush border, was found prominently associated with other membranous fractions. Phosphoglucomutase and UDPG pyrophosphorylase were localized in the soluble fraction of the renal cortex.

ISOLATION AND FLOW CYTOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTOPLASTS FROM MARINE MACROALGAE

Protoplasts were isolated from Ulva rigida C. Agardh (Chlorophyta) and two species of Rhodophyta , Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis ( Bory) Dawson, Acleto et Folvik and Gracilaria tenuistipitata Chang et Xia var . liui with minor modifications (the inclusion of 0.01% agarase in the set of cell-wall-degrading enzymes for the two red algae). Flow cytometric characteristics of freshly isolated protoplasts were determined on a FACScan flow cytometer (FC). The most useful parameters for characterizing protoplasts from marine algae were forward angle light scatter (FSC), orange fluorescence (FL2) and red fluorescence (FL3). Protoplasts from all the species were easily distinguishable when their FSC, FL2, and FL3 signals were combined in the bivariate plots FL3 vs. FSC and FL3 us. FL2. Two alternative techniques to help identify protoplasts from debris in the FC computer screen were developed (for FC without sorting capability). Both techniques were based on the ability of new FCs to record time. The first one was based on the induction of rapid changes of cell volume in response to osmotic stress. Only intact protoplasts responded to changes in the osmotic pressure. The second one was based on the uptake and hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate by intracellular esterases. Viable protoplasts showed a hyperbolic accumulation of fluorescein with time. Semimaximal fluorescein accumulation was attained in 30.5 ± 9.5 s. Debris was easily recognized since, contrary to protoplasts, it did not show a time-dependent accumulation of fluorescein .

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS FROM BRAIN OF CHILDREN WITH PROTEIN-CALORIE MALNUTRITION

Abstract— The uronic acid containing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were isolated from the brains of 1-year-old and 4-year-old kwashiorkor children and characterised by constituent analyses. A marked reduction is the total GAG concentration of brain was noticed in both cases of kwashiorkor. In the 1-year-old kwashiorkor brain, hyaluronic acid is the most predominant GAG (73.5 per cent) whereas heparan sulphate, chondroitin sulphates and low sulphated chondroitin sulphate constituted less than 10 per cent. In the 4-year-old kwashiorkor brain, the proportion of hyaluronic acid was 27.5 per cent, low sulphated chondroitin sulphate 31.2 per cent, chondroitin sulphates 28.3 per cent and heparan sulphate 10 per cent. This marked reduction in the concentration as well as qualitative changes in GAG in protein-calorie malnutrition as compared to the normal is discussed in relation to brain function.
