The possibility that passage of tetracycline across the outer membrane of E.coli K-12 is controlled by one or more of the proteins Ia, Ib and II1 (Henning's nomenclature) was investigated. A mutant lacking protein Ia (obtained by selection for resistance to phage TuIa) was more resistant to tetracycline than wild-type strains or those lacking only proteins Ib or II1. The envelope protein composition of a tetracycline-resistant mutant (cmlB) was altered in several respects, but the major change involved loss of protein Ia. These data support our previous suggestion [12] that tetracycline diffuses across the outer membrane through hydrophilic regions. Furthermore, they imply that only protein Ia plays a significant role in the passage of this antibiotic across the outer membrane.  相似文献

Rough and smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes incorporate N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine into endogenous protein acceptors. A lipid intermediate of the dolichol phosphate type participates in this transfer reaction in the case of both microsomal subfractions, but the nature of lipid glycosylation is different in these two fractions. Glucosamine transfer in Golgi membranes does not appear to involve a lipid intermediate. In contrast to the results obtained under in vivo conditions, no glucosamine label is recovered in nascent ribosomal proteins or on luminal secretory proteins after incubation in vitro. Proteolysis of intact vesicles of the subfractions removes glycosylated dolichol phosphate and protein acceptors to various extents and interferes with transferase activities. This finding suggests the possibility that glycosylation at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum may involve a system separate from that acting at the luminal side of the same membrane.  相似文献

The topography of the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria was studied using a probe, diazobenzenesulfonate, which interacts preferentially with surface components. Inner membranes were examined both in a native orientation as found in the intact mitochondrion or in an inverted state as found in isolated inner membranes prepared by sonication.Enzyme inactivation as a consequence of diazobenzenesulfonate labeling was employed to determine the localization of a number of inner membrane activities. In inner membranes labeled on the outer surface, NADH and succinate oxidation were strongly inhibited while ATPase and ascorbate-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine (TMPD) oxidase activities were unaffected. In inner membranes labeled on the inner surface. ATPase and succinate oxidation were inactivated while NADH oxidation and ascorbate-TMPD oxidase were unaffected. Succinate dehydrogenase was inhibited only by labeling the inner surface while NADH dehydrogenase was inhibited to a similar extent by treatment of either surface.Sodium dodecylsulfate-polypeptides (66 000 and 26 000) on the outer surface of the inner membrane and five polypeptides (80 000, 66 000, 51 000-48 000, and 26 000) on the inner surface. These results indicate a highly asymmetric localization of inner membrane components.  相似文献

The amino acid double labeling technique was used to identify and localize membrane-bound lactose operon proteins in E.coli. Both the “M” protein, thought to be the y gene product, and a polypeptide of MW ~15,000 appeared in the membrane following lac operon induction. The amounts of these two proteins were approximately equal.The inner and outer membrane layers of the cell envelope were separated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation or by selective solubilization of inner membranes with the detergent Sarkosyl. When gentle lysis conditions were employed to prepare membrane vesicles, both lac induced proteins fractionated with the inner membrane. However, the “M” protein was more easily randomized in the envelope structure by sonication than the 15,000 dalton component or an inner membrane marker enzyme.  相似文献

Iodination of intact mitochondria with 125I results in the labeling of essentially one polypeptide with an approximate MW of 30 000. This polypeptide seems to be a component of the inner boundary membrane as it can not be removed from the mitochondria by procedures which destroy the outer membrane (e.g. incubation with digitonin). The amount of the radio-active label which can be bound to this polypeptide is determined by ADP, atractylate, and bongkrekate, components which act on the functional state and the position of the ADPATP carrier in the membrane.

The tail parts of phage P22 as well as the phage particles cleave the O-antigen of its host bacterium, Salmonella typhimurium. The cleavage is caused by specific breakage of α-rhamnosyl 1–3 galactose linkages. Thus the tail parts of this phage consist of an enzyme, endorhamnosidase. The enzyme was not detected in nonpermissible strain infected with an amber gene 9 mutant of P22. Head without tail parts gains infectivity only after incubation with the tail parts which carry this enzymatic activity.  相似文献

The influence of cycloheximide on amino acid incorporation into protein of standard strain ? + and cytoplasmic mutant ? ? of S.cerevisiae was determined invivo and invitro. Invivo cycloheximide at the concentration which inhibits protein synthesis in ? + strain by over 60% has litle or no effect in mutant ? ? strain. Invitro cycloheximide in the range of 0.05 to 0.3 ug/ml of incubation medium inhibits polyphenylalanine synthesis in ? + strain by 50% and in ? ? strain by less than 10%. Similar resistance to this antibiotic are shown in standard strain grown in anaerobic conditions. It has been found that the resistance to cycloheximide is associated with changes in cytoplasmic ribosomes and may depend on the integrity of mitochondrial system.  相似文献

The modification activity for the ferric enterobactin receptor in the Triton X-100 solubilized outer membrane of Escherichiacoli K-12 was adsorbed to a column of p-aminobenzamidine-//-sepharose and eluted with free benzamidine. Recombination of the dialyzed eluate with the filtrate from the column reinstituted conversion of the receptor from 81K to 81K1, the latter exhibiting an apparent molecular weight of 74,000 daltons in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel analysis. The eluate from the p-aminobenzamidine column was shown to contain a component, coincident on gels with both protein and modification activity, which by mutational and other analyses appears to be identical with protein a of the outer membrane.  相似文献

Radioautographs of rabbit retinas fixed immediately after a 1 or 2 min exposure in vitro to 3H leucine revealed high rates of protein synthesis in receptor cell inner segments, perikarya of ganglion cells, and cells of the inner nuclear layer. If these brieflly labelled retinas were returned to unlabelled medium for periods of up to 6 hr, the radioautographs revealed a progressive dispersion of the labelled proteins from their sites of synthesis. This was largely completed by 112 hr and appeared, in one instance at least, to involve processes other than simple diffusion. Superimposed on the dispersive phenomenon was a process of concentration of the newly formed proteins at two sites quite distant from their synthesis, that was apparent after 112hr. One of these sites was the receptor cell outer segments, as has been previously described, the other was the outer plexiform layer.  相似文献

The factors influencing the overall mobility of the major proteins of the acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes from Torpedo marmorata have been investigated by saturation transfer ESR spectroscopy and the lateral distribution of these proteins has been studied by electron microscopy. A spin-labelled derivative of maleimide, 3-maleimido-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxyl (MSL), was used under various conditions of incubation, enabling us to attach it mainly to either an extrinsic protein of 43 kdaltons, or an intrinsic protein (40 kdaltons) bearing the α-toxin-binding site. (1) The direct reaction of MSL with the membrane fragments resulted in almost exclusive labelling of the 43 kdalton protein, an extrinsic protein located on the inner face of the receptor-rich membranes. (2) After the free SH groups were blocked with N-ethylmaleimide and the disulfide bridges opened with the reducing agent dithiothreitol, MSL reacted with both the 40 and 43 kdalton proteins (6.0±0.6MSL molecules per α-toxin-binding site). (3) After the latter labelling procedure membranes were exposed to pH 11, resulting in extraction of the 43 kdalton protein and leaving 2.2 ± 0.4MSL molecules per α-toxin-binding site; sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis performed with N-[14C]ethylmaleimide suggested that MSL was bound mainly to the 40 kdalton polypeptide chain of the acetylcholine receptor. The following conclusions were made with the native and alkaline-treated membranes: In the native membranes, saturation transfer ESR does not reveal any significant protein rotational diffusion (itrotational correlation time τc > 1 ms). Temperature variations and/or lipid modifications obtained by fusion of exogenous lipids and/or cholesterol exchange have little influence on the saturation transfer ESR spectra. Electron microscopy reveals that upon lipid addition, proteins remain in the form of clusters while areas depleted of proteins appear. On the other hand, alkaline treatment strikingly enhances the motion of the MSL-labelled proteins in the membrane (100 ? τc ? 120 μs). Furthermore, the rotational diffusion of the MSL-labelled proteins (mainly the 40 kdalton protein) becomes sensitive to temperature, lipid composition and the lipid-to-protein ratio. Electron microscopy shows that alkaline extraction does not cause large reorganization of the acetylcholine receptor in the plane of the membrane. However, when phospholipids are added to pH 11 treated membranes, a dispersion of the receptor rosettes is observed. In contrast, cholesterol enrichment of the latter membranes induces clustering of the receptor and immobilization as judged by saturation transfer ESR. Upon reassociation of the pH 11 soluble proteins with the alkaline-treated membranes, the restriction of the acetylcholine receptor rotational mobility is also restored (τc ? 1 ms).  相似文献

Intact erythrocytes were spin-labeled with various classes of phospholipid label. The ESR spectrum for phosphatidylcholine spin label was distinctly different from those for phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid spin labels. The overall splitting for the former (52.5 G) was markedly larger than those for the others (approx. 47 G), suggesting a more rigid phosphatidylcholine bilayer phase and more fluid phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine phases in the erythrocyte membrane. Evidence for asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in the membrane was obtained. Spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine incorporated into erythrocytes was reduced immediately by cystein and Fe3+, while the reduction of spin-labeled phosphatidylserine was very slow. The present results therefore suggest asymmetric fluidity in erythrocyte membrane; a more rigid outer layer and a more fluid inner layer. The heterogeneity in the lipid structure was also manifested in the temperature dependence of the fluidity. The overall splitting for phosphatidylcholine spin label showed two inflection points at 18 and 33 °C, while that for phosphatidylserine spin label had only one transition at 30 °C.When the spin-labeled erythrocytes were hemolyzed, the marked difference in the ESR spectra disappeared, indicating homogenization of the heterogeneous fluidity. Mg2+ or Mg2++ATP prevented the hemolysis-induced spectral changes. Ca2+ did not prevent the homogenization and acted antagonistically to Mg2+. The heterogeneity preservation by Mg2+ was nullified by trypsin, pronase or N-ethylmaleimide added inside the cell. Some inner proteins may therefore be involved in maintaining the heterogeneous structure. The protecting action of Mg2+ was dependent on hemolysis temperature, starting to decrease at 18 °C and vanishing at 40 °C. The present study suggests that the heterogeneity in the fluidity of intact erythrocyte membranes arises from interactions between lipids and proteins in the membrane and also from interactions between the membrane constituents and the inner proteins. Concentration of cholesterol in the outer layer may also partly contribute to the heterogeneity.  相似文献

Basolateral membranes isolated from hog kidney cortex, enriched 12- to 15-fold in (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, were 80% oriented inside-out as determined by assay of oubain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity before and after opening of the membrane vesicle preparation with a mixture of deoxycholate and EDTA. In these membrane preparations 80% of total phosphatidylethanolamine was accessible to trinitrophenylation by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid at 4°C, while at 37°C all of phosphatidylethanolamine fraction was chemically modified. Phospholipase C treatment resulted in hydrolysis of 80% phosphatidylethanolamine, 40% phosphatidylcholine and 35% of phosphatidylserine. Sphingomyelinase treatment resulted in 20% hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, presumably derived from right-side-out oriented vesicles. Results indicate that phosphatidylethanolamine is oriented exclusively on the outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer of inside-out oriented vesicles. Methylation of phospholipids in basolateral membranes with S-adenosyl[methyl-3H]methionine resulted in the three successive methylation of ethanolamine moiety of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine. The Km for S-adenosylmethionine was 1·10?4 M with an optimum pH 9.0 for the formation of all three methyl derivatives. Mg2+ was without any effect between pH 5 and 10. Basolateral membranes incubated in the presence of methyl donor, S-adenosylmethionine, exhibited increased (12–15%) (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity and increased ATP-dependent uptake of calcium. ATP-dependent calcium uptake in these vesicles was insensitive to oligomycin and ouabain but was abolished completely by 50 μM vanadate. The increase in ATP-dependent calcium uptake was due to an increase in Vmax and not due to a change in Km for Ca2+. Preincubation of membranes with S-adenosylhomocysteine, a methyltransferase inhibitor, abolished the stimulatory effect of phospholipid methylation on calcium uptake. Phospholipid methylation at both low and high pH did not result in a change in bulk membrane fluidity as determined by the fluorescence polarization of diphenylhexatriene. These results suggest that phospholipid methylation may regulate transepithelial calcium flux in vivo.  相似文献

Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the proteins coded by a λtonB transducing phage, after infection of UV-irradiated bacteria, revealed the presence of at least 7 new polypeptides. Three of these were identified as proteins of the trp operon whilst three others were deleted by a spontaneous mutation in the tonB region carried by the phage. A single polypeptide, molecular weight 40,000 was absent from a phage carrying a proflavine induced mutation in tonB. We conclude that this protein, which was localised in the inner membrane by sarkosyl fractionation of the envelope, is the tonB product.  相似文献

Matrix-free chick embryo tendon cells were incubated with [14C]proline for 60 minutes and protein synthesis was stopped by the addition of cycloheximide. Newly synthesized collagen precursors recovered in the incubation medium were mostly intact procollagen molecules which contain both amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal extensions. If the cells were further incubated for 2 hours in the presence of cycloheximide, most of the procollagen was converted to precursor molecules which were devoid of amino-terminal extensions. Removal of the carboxy-terminal extensions from procollagen was not observed. Similar experiments with intact tendons demonstrated that procollagen synthesized by the intact tissues invitro was readily converted to an intermediate form devoid of amino-terminal extensions and then to collagen. The results suggest that the removal of the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal extensions from procollagen is catalyzed by two separate enzymic activities.  相似文献

The kinetics of active transport of an organic acid (fluorescein) through the membranes of the choroid plexus from the lateral ventricules of the brain of rabbit was studied both morphologically and functionally. It was shown that fluorescein is actively translocated through the apical and basal membrane of the epithelium and is accumulated in blood capillaries at a concentration exceeding one order of magnitude that in the incubation medium. The kinetic curves displaying saturation and the demonstration of inhibition by other acids shows that a specific carrier is involved in the transfer across the membrane. The active transport of fluorescein at 20°C was found to be sodium independent. Total exclusion of sodium from the incubation medium does not change the Michaelis constant (Km) and maximal velocity (V). The active transport depends on the operation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase as energy source but obviously no specific complexes with the participation of sodium are involved.  相似文献

It has been shown by autoradiography using 3H-thymidine that 11-day mouse embryos doubly homozygous for the autosomal recessive genes fidget (gene symbol fi) and ocular retardation (or), have three to five times fewer labelled nuclei in their retina anlages as do normal (genotype +/+ +/+) embryos singly homozygous for fidget (+/+ fifi) or ocular retardation (+/+ oror). In 11-day embryos of +/+ +/+, +/+ fifi and +/+ oror genotypes the labelled nuclei are localized mainly in the inner zone of the retina anlage. However, in double homozygotes the indices of labelled nuclei were not significantly different in the inner and outer zones of the retina anlage. The retina anlage of 12-day double homozygote, fifioror, has practically no nuclei synthesizing DNA. Consequently, the mutant genes fi and or which prolong the G1 period of the cell cycle in single homozygotes, act synergetically to stop DNA synthesis in the retina anlage cells of 12-day fifioror embryos.  相似文献

Uracil-DNA glycosylase of Bacillussubtilis is involved in repair of deaminated cytosine residues of DNA. Survivals of SPO2 phage after treatment with bisulfite and weak alkali are considerably higher in wild type strains than in urg mutants, which are deficient in the enzyme activity, whereas survivals of bisulfite/alkali-treated PBS1 phage in the two types of cells are essentially the same. The spontaneous mutation frequency of a urg mutant is three fold higher than is that of a wild type strain.  相似文献

Isolated frog (RanaPipiens) retinas were labeled in the dark with either [32P]PO4-orthophosphate or myo-[2-3H]inositol for 2.5–4 hrs. After washing the retinas with cold buffer, they were exposed to brief flashes of light (5 secs or 15 secs) and their rod outer segments isolated. Upon separation of labeled phospholipids, a specific decrease in label in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was observed, whereas there was no significant effect on the labeling of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol, or phosphatidic acid. These results are indicative of a light-activated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C in frog rod outer segments.  相似文献

Giant T4 bacteriophage were found by Doermann et al. (1973a) with point mutants in gene 23 and by Cummings et al. (1973) after l-canavanine induction followed by an arginine chase. We now find T4 giant phage with 14 out of 15 tested temperature-sensitive mutants in gene 24 grown at intermediate temperatures between 33 °C and 37 °C.For one of these mutants, T4,24(tsB86), we found that (a) the optimum temperature for giant phage production is 34.8 °C, (b) the head-length distribution peaks sharply between 10 and 12 normal T4 phage head lengths, (c) about 75% of our giant phage have two tails, (d) the buoyant density in CsCl is greater than that of normal phage, (e) they are infectious and show an increased u.v. resistance, (f) their sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis pattern is qualitatively similar to that of normal T4 phage, although the relative intensities of some of the bands are different, showing for example, a decreased P241P2312 ratio, (g) optical diffraction and filtering of the flattened cylindrical part of the giant heads show a p6 surface net with a lattice constant of approximately 130 Å, a unique uv ratio of 155 and a capsomer morphology of the type 1 + 6 + 6.Mixed infections with T4 wild type and T4.24(amN65) also yield giant phage. These are produced in highest amounts with a multiplicity of infection ratio of 5:5; no giants are observed at ratios of 1:9 or 9:1, suggesting that their formation may be caused by a dosage effect of P24.  相似文献
