Triton X-100 can be used to clarify vague immunoprecipitin lines from bacterial antigens; however, non-immunological precipitation can lead to mistaken interpretation of immunodiffusion results. If Triton X-100 is added directly to the gel during preparation rather than to the antigen well, this detergent artifact can be eliminated. 相似文献

The nonionic detergent Triton X-100 binds in varying proportions to specific ribosomal proteins and decreases the relative mobility of these proteins during electrophoresis. When Triton X-100 binds to these ribosomal proteins in the first-dimension gel, the resolution of the ribosomal proteins in the second-dimension gel pattern is greatly improved. Maximum binding of Triton X-100 to the ribosomal proteins is dependent on pH, urea concentration, and the complete reduction of cysteine and methionine. After first-dimension electrophoresis the Triton X-100 in the gel does not interfere with the binding of sodium dodecyl sulfate to the ribosomal proteins and the molecular weight of these proteins can still be estimated directly from the second-dimension slab gel. 相似文献

Immunologic probes have been used to examine the conformation of apolipoprotein B (apo-B) as it exists within native low density lipoprotein (LDL) after lipid displacement with Triton X-100 and after denaturation with guanidine hydrochloride organic solvent delipidation and reconstitution with Triton X-100. Antigenic expression was assayed in two systems: by using either Triton X-100 or bovine serum albumin to maintain protein solubility. Apo-B delipidated by lipid displacement using Triton X-100 was virtually identical to LDL-apo-B in both systems, as assayed by polyclonal antisera prepared in rabbits against either antigen. Thus the native antigenic sites are preserved, although the displacement of the lipid core of LDL drastically alters the physical properties of the particle. Apo-B delipidated by solvent extraction in guanidine was reconstituted with Triton X-100 by several methods, and the products were examined immunologically. One method yielded a product that resembled apo-B as delipidated with Triton X-100, although full reconstitution could not be achieved. Nevertheless, Triton promoted refolding of apo-B to reform partial native structure as judged immunologically. By using both physical and immunologic methods for assessing structure, it is clearly evident that the perceptions of the conformational states of reconstituted apo-B can be very different, and multiple criteria need to be used to assess lipoprotein reconstitution. 相似文献

We have investigated the effect of different concentrations of Triton X-100 on the resolution of microgram amounts of different hemoglobin subunit polypeptides during electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing acetic acid, urea, and Triton X-100. The results of these studies indicate that adequate concentrations of Triton X-100 facilitate the resolution of polymorphic globin chains and that this type of electrophoretic separation is technically much simpler and more sensitive than currently used methods. Using this method, known and previously undescribed types of α and β chains can be detected. Furthermore, polyacrylamide gel slabs containing a horizontal gradient of Triton X-100 permit the identification of different globin chains present in lysates of erythrocytes or erythrocyte precursors without prior purification of the hemoglobins. 相似文献

Mixed micelles of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 and egg phosphatidylcholine were isolated by column chromatography on 6% agarose and by centrifugation at 35,000g. It was found that egg phosphatidylcholine bilayers are able to incorporate Triton X-100 at molar ratios of Triton to phospholipid below about 1:1, whereas above a molar ratio of about 2:1 Triton/phospholipid all of the phospholipid is converted into mixed micelles. Mixed micelles at a molar ratio of about 10:1 Triton/phospholipid were found to be in the same size range as pure micelles of Triton X-100. The formation of mixed micelles with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine at room temperature, when the phospholipid is below its thermotropic phase transition, is shown to require relatively high concentrations of Triton X-100. The point at which dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayers are converted to mixed micelles was found to be less clear cut than with egg phosphatidylcholine, but above a molar ratio of about 2:1 Triton/phospholipid, all of this phospholipid is also in mixed micelles. The relevance of these results to the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins with Triton X-100 and the action of phospholipase A2, which hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine when it is in mixed micelles with Triton X-100, is discussed. 相似文献

Overall protein release greater than 75% in less than 1 h can be attained by exposing exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells to 0.4 M guanidine plus 0.5% Triton X-100 at 37 degrees C in medium. Cell growth stops immediately upon addition of the chemicals, but the cells are not lysed. Guanidine concentrations lower than 0.2 M, in conjunction with 0.5% Triton X-100, do not release significant intracellular protein, nor do they inhibit cell growth. Under these conditions, the cells undergo an adaptation that confers resistance to protein release by further treatment with guanidine and Triton X-100. Cells treated with 0.2 M guanidine plus 0.5% Triton X-100 display intermediate behavior. Protein release is approximately 35%, and growth is temporarily interrupted by an extended lag phase. Subsequent resumption of cell growth results in resistant cells and no additional protein release. This resistance is shown to be reversible and is most likely due to physiological adaptation rather than genetic mutation. 相似文献

The inhibitory effects of polyoxyethylene detergents on human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase and Ca2+ + Mg2+ ATPase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The activities of acetylcholinesterase and Ca2+ + Mg2+ ATPase were measured following treatment of human erythrocyte membranes with nonsolubilizing and solubilizing concentrations of Triton X-100. A concentration of 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 caused a significant inhibition of both enzymes. The inhibition appears to be caused by perturbations in the membrane induced by Triton X-100 incorporation. No acetylcholinesterase activity and little Ca2+ + Mg2+ ATPase activity were detected in the supernatant at 0.05% Triton X-100 although this same detergent concentration induced changes in the turbidity of the membrane suspension. Also, no inhibition of soluble acetylcholinesterase was observed over the entire detergent concentration range. The inhibition of these enzymes at 0.1% Triton X-100 was present over an eightfold range of membrane protein in the assay indicating an independence of the protein/detergent ratio. The losses in activities of these two enzymes could be prevented by either including phosphatidylserine in the Triton X-100 suspension or using Brij 96 which has the same polyoxyethylene polar head group but an oleyl hydrophobic tail instead of the p-tert-octylphenol group of Triton X-100. The results are discussed in regard to the differential recovery of enzyme activities over the entire detergent concentration range. 相似文献

The effect of Triton X-100 on catalytic properties of acetylcholinesterase from human erythrocytes under acetylcholine hydrolysis, on sensitivity of acetylcholinesterase to specific phosphoorganic inhibitors and eserine, and on the mobility and isoenyme spectrum under analytical electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel is investigated. Triton X-100, independently on its concentration within 0.05-1.0%, slightly changes V and [S]opt values and increases Km value in 2-3 times. The inhibitory effect of Triton X-100 is mainly competitive, 0.5% Triton X-100 decreases bimolecular constant (kII) of the interaction of acetylcholinesterase with phosphoorganic inhibitor and eserine in 2.5-4 times. In the presence of phosphoorganic inhibitor, kII sharply decreased when 0.02% Triton X-100 was added, and then it did not change under the increase of Triton X-100 concentration up to 1.0%. On the basis of these data, an analytical method of estimating Triton X-100 content in protein solution is proposed. The introduction of 0.1% Triton X-100 into polyacrylamide gel results in considerable quantitative redistribution of acetylcholinesterase isoenzyme fractions and in the change of the mobility of one fraction under electrophoresis. 相似文献

When sea urchin spermatozoa were treated with a Triton X-100 solution, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cA-kinase) activity was extracted. Further extraction with Triton X-100 of axonemes isolated from the Triton-extracted sperm again released a considerable amount of the cA-kinase activity. The activity which remained after extraction three times with Triton X-100 was released by treatment with a low salt solution. These activities found in the various extracts were likely to be due to the same cA-kinase, which was a mammalian type II-like enzyme. The cA-kinase activity that remained in the axonemes after the first Triton X-100 extraction may be involved in the regulation of flagellar movement in the Triton-extracted sperm. 相似文献

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) was solubilized from membranes of Mycobacterium phlei by Triton X-100 with a recovery of about 90%. The solubilized SDH was purified about 90-fold by Sephacryl S-300, DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, and isoelectric focusing in the presence of Triton X-100 with a 20% recovery. SDH was homogeneous, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in nondenaturing gels containing Triton X-100. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme revealed two subunits with molecular weights of 62,000 and 26,000. SDH is a flavoprotein containing 1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide, 7 to 8 mol of nonheme iron, and 7 to 8 mol of acid-labile sulfide per mol of protein. Using phenazine methosulfate and 2,6-dichloroindophenol as electron acceptors, the enzyme had an apparent Km of 0.12 mM succinate. SDH exhibited a sigmoidal relationship of rate to succinate concentration, indicating cooperativity. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by fumarate with a Ki of 0.15 mM. In the absence of Triton X-100, the enzyme aggregated, retained 50% of the activity, and could be resolubilized with Triton X-100 with full restoration of activity. Cardiolipin had no effect on the enzyme activity in the absence of Triton X-100, but it stimulated the activity by about 30% in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100 in the assay mixture. Menaquinone-9(2H), isolated from M. phlei, had no effect on the enzyme activity either in the presence or absence of Triton X-100. 相似文献

Reaction characteristics of a membrane-bound lipoprotein lipase acting on a hydrophobic substrate were investigated in aggregated structures—lipid bilayers of liposomes and mixed micelles of Triton X-100. The enzyme activity was enhanced with increases in Triton X-100 and phospholipid concentrations in micellar and liposomal structures. This higher activity was found to be due to both the solubilization state of the hydrophobic substrate and the hydrophobic interactions of the enzyme with either phospholipid or Triton X-100 molecules as a result of its incorporation into the aggregated systems. The enzyme reconstituted into lipid bilayers of liposomes prepared from 15 mM DMPC in the presence of 0.05% Triton X-100 showed a further 1.5-fold higher activity in comparison with the activity without reconstitution in micelles of 1.0% Triton X-100. These results indicate the necessity of the bilayer structure to retain the membrane-bound enzyme in an active conformation. 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

Use of resistant mutants to study the interaction of triton X-100 with Staphylococcus aureus. 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3
Staphylococcus aureus mutants resistant to the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, isolated from the wild-type strain H and the autolysin-deficient strain RUS3, could grow and divide in broth containing 5% (vol/vol) Triton X-100, while growth of the parental strains was markedly inhibited above the critical micellar concentration (0.02%) of the detergent. Growth-inhibitory concentrations of Triton X-100 killed wild-type cells without demonstrable cellular lysis. Triton X-100 stimulated autolysin activity of S. aureus cells under nongrowing conditions, and this lytic response was markedly reduced in energy-poisoned cells. In contrast, the detergent had no effect on the activity of autolysins in cell-free systems, and growth in the presence of Triton X-100 did not alter either the cellular autolysin activity or the susceptibility of cell walls to exogenous lytic enzymes. Treatment with either Triton X-100 or penicillin G in the growth medium stimulated release of predominantly acylated intracellular lipoteichoic acid and sensitized staphylococci to Triton X-100-induced autolysis. There was no significant difference in the cell wall and membrane compositions or Triton X-100 binding between the parental strains and the resistant mutants. The resistant mutant TXR1, derived from S. aureus H, had a higher level of L-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity, and its oxygen uptake was more resistant to inhibition by a submicellar concentration (0.008%) of Triton X-100. Growth in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of Triton X-100 rendered S. aureus H cells phenotypically resistant to the detergent and greatly stimulated the level of oxygen uptake. Membranes isolated from such cells exhibited enhanced activity of the respiratory enzymes succinic dehydrogenase and L-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes can only form d-malate from maleate after incubation of the cells with a solvent or a detergent. The effect of the detergent Triton X-100 on d-malate production was studied in more detail. The longer the cells were incubated with Triton X-100, the higher was the d-malate production activity, until the maximal malease activity was reached. Incubation of P. pseudoalcaligenes cells with Triton X-100 also resulted in an increase in the protein concentration of the supernatant, indicating that cell lysis had occurred. The rate at which the d-malate production activity increased was dependent on the Triton X-100 concentration and on the cell density. Also the rate at which lysis occurred depended on the Triton X-100 concentration. 相似文献

We investigated the subcellular distribution of S-100b protein in primary cultures of Schwann cells. The subcellular localization of the protein in cells fixed and then permeabilized is similar, if not identical, to that seen in Schwann cells in peripheral nerves, i.e., S-100b protein is found in the cytoplasm and associated with membranes and filamentous structures. In cells either fixed in the presence of Triton X-100 or exposed to Triton X-100 for a short time before fixation (Triton cytoskeletons), the immune reaction product is considerably less intense, and the protein is associated with filaments running parallel to the long axis of the cell as well as in a submembranous position. Including CaCl2 in the buffer during fixation in the presence of Triton X-100 does not result in any increase in the intensity of the immune reaction product in Triton cytoskeletons, suggesting that, within the limits of the technique employed, no binding of additional S-100b protein to the Triton X-100-resistant material can be induced. On the other hand, including EGTA results in a substantial decrease in the intensity of the immune reaction product in Triton cytoskeletons. Altogether, these findings suggest that a remarkable fraction of S-100b protein in cultured Schwann cells is associated with elements of the cytoskeleton and that Ca2+ exerts some regulatory role in the association of S-100b protein with the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Tyrosine phosphorylation of a 55- and 60-kDa protein was observed when EDTA-treated P2 membrane fraction from monkey basal ganglia was incubated with [gamma-32P]-ATP in the presence of Zn2+. Other metal ions were less effective in this phosphorylation. The effect of Zn2+ did not appear to be due to its inhibition of a tyrosine phosphatase. In the presence of Mg2+/Triton X-100 instead of Zn2+, phosphorylation on tyrosine residues of a 17-kDa protein and the external substrate poly(Glu, Tyr) 4:1 copolymer was observed. Both Mg2+ and Triton X-100 were essential for this and Zn2+ inhibited both of these phosphorylations. Convincing evidence for the existence of Zn2+-dependent and Mg2+/Triton X-100-dependent tyrosine protein kinases was obtained when the two kinases could be separated by extraction of the membranes by Triton X-100. The Zn2+-dependent phosphorylation was present exclusively in the Triton-solubilized supernatant whereas the Mg2+/Triton X-100-dependent phosphorylation was found associated with the Triton-insoluble membrane fractions. Externally added histone could also be phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in a Zn2+- or Mg2+/Triton X-100-dependent manner by the supernatant or membrane fraction, respectively. 相似文献

Membrane events in exocytosis were studied by examining the effect of different detergents on the K+-stimulated release of noradrenaline in the secretory cell line PC 12. The nonionic detergent Triton X-100 and the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) inhibit the noradrenaline release evoked by 55 mM K+ by 50% at very low concentrations (30 microM and 10 microM, respectively). These values are tenfold lower than the critical micellar concentrations (CMC). No such effect was seen with the anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate (NaDodSO4). The inhibitory effect of 30 microM Triton X-100 is reversible, and the recovery from inhibition correlates with the loss of detergent from the cells as demonstrated by binding studies using [3H]Triton X-100. The possible relationship between this inhibition of secretion and the structural properties of the detergent was investigated. The inhibition in the presence of purified Triton X-100 subfractions turned out to be a function of the length of the oligometric ethyleneglycol chain (C6 to C26). The maximal effect was observed for Triton X-100 molecules having a chain length of 16 carbon atoms, which can penetrate just half of the lipid bilayer of the membrane. Additionally, the phase transition at 13-14 degrees C observed in an Arrhenius plot of noradrenaline release in stimulated cells was abolished. In the presence of 30 microM Triton X-100, 22Na+ uptake, 86Rb+ release, and 45Ca2+ uptake were reduced by 50-60%. These data suggest that the site of action of Triton X-100 is at the level of altering the movement of ions in PC 12 cells during the stimulatory phase of secretion. 相似文献

Properties of mixed dispersions of sphingomyelin and the nonionic detergent, Triton X-305, were investigated by analytical ultracentrifugation and by autocorrelation spectroscopy of scattered laser light. These properties were compared with those of the sphingomyelin/Triton X-100 mixed micellar system reported previously [S. Yedgar, Y. Barenholz, and V. G. Cooper (1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 363, 98-111]. The substitution of the 30-unit ethylene oxide chain of Triton X-305 for the 10-unit chain of the Triton X-100 resulted in the appearance of two micellar phases at all detergent/lipid mixture ratios studied, whereas only a single mixed micellar phase was observed using Triton X-100. Despite this difference, the properties of the mixed lipid/detergent micelles obtained using Triton X-100 have been verified in the following respects: The detergent aggregation numbers in the mixed micelles are quite constant over a wide range of detergent molar fractions, being about 70 and 400 for the lighter and heavier mixed micellar phases, respectively. The detergent aggregation numbers are larger in the mixed micelle than in the pure detergent micelle. Very large sphingomyelin aggregation numbers can be accommodated within the mixed micelles, apparently by the critical intervention of the detergent molecules to produce a stable micellar structure. 相似文献
