Lysosomes were isolated by sequential gradient centrifugation [Madden, Wirt & Storrie (1987) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 257, 27-38] from control or acidotropic-amine-treated Chinese-hamster ovary (CHO) cells. By marker-enzyme analysis, the preparation from chloroquine or NH4Cl-treated cells was about 25-fold enriched for lysosomes compared with the postnuclear supernatant and contained little or no marker activities for the plasma membrane, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, cytosol and peroxisomes. The yield of amine-treated lysosomes was about 60% relative to the postnuclear supernatant. Electron microscopy and cytochemistry demonstrated that the amine-treated preparation was highly purified. Cytochemical analyses after a short-term pulse of horseradish peroxidase revealed that endosomal contamination of the lysosomal preparation was less than 1%. Lysosomal polypeptides were biosynthetically labelled with [35S]methionine and identified by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. As expected, the bulk accumulation of luminal proteins into lysosomes was decreased. The bulk accumulation of membrane proteins was increased by acidotropic amine treatment. There were also several qualitative differences in each lysosomal compartment, with new species observed and other species absent. These data suggest that a low pH is not necessary for the normal accumulation of the bulk of membrane proteins in lysosomes and that membrane trafficking from Golgi apparatus to lysosomes occurs at a high rate in acidotropic-amine-treated CHO cells.  相似文献

We used Chinese hamster ovary cells, a cell line of fibroblastic origin, to investigate whether lysosomes are an exocytic compartment. To label lysosomal contents, Chinese hamster ovary cells were incubated with the solute marker horseradish peroxidase. After an 18-h uptake period, horseradish peroxidase was found in lysosomes by cell fractionation in Percoll gradients and by electron microscope cytochemistry. Over a 24-h period, lysosomal horseradish peroxidase was quantitatively retained by Chinese hamster ovary cells and inactivated with a t 1/2 of 6 to 8 h. Lysosomes were radioiodinated in situ by soluble lactoperoxidase internalized over an 18-h uptake period. About 70% of the radioiodine incorporation was pelleted at 100,000 X g under conditions in which greater than 80% of the lysosomal marker enzyme beta-hexosaminidase was released into the supernatant. By one-dimensional electrophoresis, about 18 protein species were present in the lysosomal membrane fraction, with radioiodine incorporation being most pronounced into species of 70,000 to 75,000 daltons. After a 30-min or 2-h chase at 37 degrees C, radioiodine that was incorporated into lysosomal membranes and contents was retained in lysosomes. These observations indicate that lysosomes labeled by fluid-phase pinocytosis are a terminal component of endocytic pathways in fibroblasts.  相似文献

We have quantified, in cultured rat fibroblasts, the association to the lysosomal membrane of two classical plasma membrane markers, 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I. To isolate highly purified lysosomal preparations, lysosomes were loaded with horseradish peroxidase (2-h cell uptake, 16-h chase) and isolated by isopycnic centrifugation in linear Percoll gradients, followed by a 3,3'-diaminobenzidine-induced density shift in sucrose gradients. Purified lysosomal preparations contained up to 50% of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase of the homogenate. This lysosomal enzyme was enriched 33-fold in the most purified preparations. In the electron microscope, these preparations appeared to be highly purified and only contained organelles filled with diaminobenzidine reaction products. Analysis of purified preparations indicates that 0.5-0.8% of 5'-nucleotidase, but as much as 10.9-14.3% of alkaline phosphodiesterase I activities of the homogenate, are associated with lysosomes. After freezing-thawing, these activities remained essentially membrane-associated. The larger value obtained for alkaline phosphodiesterase I could not be ascribed to other lysosomal enzymes, as no such activity was detected at acidic pH. These two plasma membrane markers are thus unevenly distributed in the lysosomal compartment.  相似文献

The preparative isolation of mitochondria from Chinese hamster ovary cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A "hybrid" discontinuous gradient consisting of 6% Percoll overlaid on metrizamide separated mitochondria from other organelles in a Chinese hamster ovary cell postnuclear supernatant in a single 15-min centrifugation. The mitochondrial preparation contained about 25% of the mitochondrial marker, cytochrome-c oxidase, in a form that was about 90% latent. Based on the postnuclear supernatant, cytochrome-c oxidase activity was enriched approximately 45-fold. Trace amounts of lysosomal, rough endoplasmic reticular, Golgi, peroxisomal, plasma membrane, and cytosolic markers were found in the preparation. Electron microscopy revealed that the preparation consisted almost exclusively of mitochondria with only minor amounts of contaminating organelles. Analysis of the mitochondrial preparation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the mitochondrial preparation had a unique protein profile compared to the postnuclear supernatant and other gradient interfaces. Separation of the mitochondria into membrane and lumenal (matrix) fractions by treatment with 100 mM Na2CO3, pH 11.5, also indicated that the mitochondria were intact; they were rich in lumenal proteins. The data indicate that the mitochondria represent maximally about 2.2% of Chinese hamster ovary cell postnuclear supernatant protein. These isolated mitochondria should prove useful for problems in molecular cell biology.  相似文献

Normal rat liver lysosomal membranes in the form of membrane vesicles have been purified using Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Lysosomes (density = 1.111) were purified approximately 63 +/- 12-fold (mean +/- standard deviation, n = 5) using a gradient of Percoll made isotonic with sucrose and buffered to pH 7.0. These lysosomes were then exposed to 10 mM methionine methyl ester, pH 7.0, the uptake of which resulted in swelling and breakage of the lysosomes with subsequent vesicle formation. These vesicles (density = 1.056) were further separated from residual mitochondrial and plasma membrane enzyme activities using a second Percoll density gradient. Marker enzyme analysis and electron microscopy indicated that the lysosomal membranes were essentially free of both beta-hexosaminidase, a soluble lysosomal enzyme, and contaminating organelles. The specific activity of lysosomal ATPase in the lysosomal membranes was fourfold greater than in the intact lysosomes.  相似文献

The total mitochondrial fraction of bovine corpus luteum specifically bound [3H]prostaglandin (PG) E1, [3H] PGF, and 125I-labeled human lutropin (hLH) despite very little 5′-nucleotidase activity, a marker for plasma membranes. Since the total mitochondrial fraction isolated by conventional centrifugation techniques contains both mitochondria and lysosomes, it was subfractionated into mitochondria and lysosomes to ascertain the relative contribution of these fractions to the binding. Subfractionation resulted in an enrichment of cytochrome c oxidase (a marker for mitochondria) in mitochondria and of acid phosphatase (a marker for lysosomes) in lysosomes. The lysosomes exhibited little or no contamination with Golgi vesicles, rough endoplasmic reticulum, or peroxisomes as assessed by their appropriate marker enzymes. Subfractionation also re ulted in [3H] PGE1, [3H] PGF, and 125I-labeled hLH binding enrichment with respect to homogenate in lysosomes but not in mitochondria. The lysosomal binding enrichment and recovery were, however, lower than in plasma membranes. The ratios of marker enzyme to binding, an index of organelle contamination, revealed that plasma membrane and lysosomal receptors were intrinsic to these organelles. Freezing and thawing had markedly increased lysosomal binding but had no effect on plasma membrane binding. Exposure to 0.05% Triton X-100 resulted in a greater loss of plasma membrane compared to lysosomal binding. In summary, the above results suggest that lysosomes, but not mitochondria, in addition to plasma membranes, intrinsically contain receptors for PGs and gonadotropins. Furthermore, lysosomes overall contain a greater number of PGs and gonadotropin receptors compared to plasma membranes and these receptors are associated with the membrane but not the contents of lysosomes.  相似文献

Summary Peroxisomes, lysosomes, and mitochondria have been purified from rat liver by sucrose density gradient centrifugation without prior treatment of the animals with Triton WR-1339 or other detergents which cause hyperlipidemia. A crude organelle fraction was first prepared by differential centrifugation of a rat liver homogenate, this fraction contained approximately 70% of the mitochondrial, 40% of the peroxisomal, and 30% of the lysosomal marker enzymes measured in the homogenate. The crude organelle fraction was applied to the top of a sucrose density gradient and centrifuged. A clear separation of the organelles was obtained only when dextran was present in the gradients. Success or failure of the method was found to depend on the particular preparation of dextran used in the gradients. A method for subfractionating dextran was developed which yields dextran fractions that make the separations completely reproducible. Starting with a crude organelle fraction derived from 12 g of liver, approximately 85% of the mitochondrial, 70% of the peroxisomal, and 50% of the lysosomal activities were obtained as pure fractions. The organelle separation takes less than five hours to complete, it represents a substantial improvement over previous methods.  相似文献

Highly pure lysosomes were isolated from buffalo(Bubalus bubalis) kidney cortex by a procedure involving differential and isopycnic Percoll density gradient centrifugations. Arylsulphatase, N-acetyl-Β-glucosamindase and cathepsin D in the lysosomal preparation were 26–45-fold enriched over the homogenate. The purified lysosomes contained less than 0·06% of mitochondrial, microsomal and peroxisomal marker enzymes. In the electron micrographs the particles appeared as large dense granules of size 0·3-1·9 μm with no apparent structural features belonging to mitochondria or microsomes. The isolation procedure was also found to be suitable to obtain highly pure lysosome particles from renal cortex of other sources such as rat, lamb and beef. No ultracentrifugation steps were involved in the procedure  相似文献

Open thyroid follicles were prepared by mechanical disruption of pig thyroid fragments through a metal sieve. This procedure allowed preparation of thyroid-cell material depleted of colloid thyroglobulin. Open thyroid follicles were used to prepared a crude particulate fraction, which contained lysosomes, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles were subfractionated by isopycnic centrifugation on iso-osmotic Percoll gradients. A lysosomal peak was identified by its content of acid hydrolases: acid phosphatase, cathepsin D, beta-galactosidase and beta-glucuronidase. The lysosomal peak was well separated from mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The lysosomal peak, from which Percoll was removed by centrifugation, was taken as the purified lysosome fraction (L). Lysosomes of fraction L were purified 45-55-fold (as compared with the homogenate) and contained about 5% of the total thyroid acid hydrolase activities. Electron microscopy showed that fraction L was composed of an approx. 90% pure population of lysosomes, with an average diameter of 220 nm. Acid hydrolase activities were almost completely (80-90%) released by an osmotic-pressure-dependent lysis. Thyroglobulin was identified by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis as a soluble component of the lysosome fraction. In conclusion, a 50-fold purification of pig thyroid lysosomes was achieved by using a new tissue-disruption procedure and isopycnic centrifugation on Percoll gradient. The presence of thyroglobulin indicates that the lysosome population is probably composed of primary and secondary lysosomes. Isolated thyroid lysosomes should serve as an interesting model to study the reactions whereby thyroid hormones are generated from thyroglobulin and released into the thyroid cells.  相似文献

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles, which contain an arsenal of different hydrolases, enabling them to act as the terminal degradative compartment of the endocytotic, phagocytic and autophagic pathways. During the last decade, it was convincingly shown that destabilization of lysosomal membrane and release of lysosomal content into the cytosol can initiate the lysosomal apoptotic pathway, which is dependent on mitochondria destabilization. The cleavage of BID to t-BID and degradation of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins by lysosomal cysteine cathepsins were identified as links to the mitochondrial cytochrome c release, which eventually leads to caspase activation. There have also been reports about the involvement of lysosome destabilization and lysosomal proteases in the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, although the molecular mechanism is still under debate. In the present article, we discuss the cross-talk between lysosomes and mitochondria during apoptosis and its consequences for the fate of the cell.  相似文献

The subcellular distribution of alpha-tocopherol has been studied in rat liver. Lysosomal membranes were found to be considerably enriched in alpha-tocopherol with 6300 pmol/mg membrane protein, whereas mitochondrial membranes and microsomes contained 530 and 200 pmol/mg membrane protein, respectively. The 37-fold higher specific content of alpha-tocopherol in lysosomal membranes relative to homogenate indicates that lysosomes could be a target of cellular pathology in vitamin E deficiency states.  相似文献

A preparation, similar to the light mitochondrial fraction of rat liver (L fraction of de Duve et al, (1955, Biochem. J. 60: 604-617), was subfractionated by isopycnic centrifugation in a metrizamide gradient and the distribution of several marker enzymes was established. The granules were layered at the top or bottom of the gradient. In both cases, as ascertained by the enzyme distributions, the lysosomes are well separated from the peroxisomes. A good separation from mitochondria is obtained only when the L fraction if set down underneath the gradient. Taking into account the analytical centrifugation results, a procedure was devised to purify lysosomes from several grams of liver by centrifugation of an L fraction in a discontinuous metrizamide gradient. By this method, a fraction containing 10--12% of the whole liver lysosomes can be prepared. As inferred from the relative specific activity of marker enzymes, it can be estimated that lysosomes are purified between 66 and 80 times in this fraction. As ascertained by plasma membrane marker enzyme activity, the main contaminant could be the plasma membrane components. However, cytochemical tests for 5'AMPase and for acid phosphatase suggest that a large part of the plasma membrane marker enzyme activity present in the purified lysosome preparation could be associated with the lysosomal membrane. The procedure for the isolation of rat liver lysosomes described in this paper is compared with the already existing methods.  相似文献

1. Some lysosomal populations in the rat kidney cortex appear to be mechanically weak and are readily disrupted by gentle homogenization, while other populations remain intact even after repeated homogenization. 2. Lysosomes in the rat kidney cortex appear to be resistant to hypertonic media but are readily disrupted under hypotonic conditions. 3. Lysosomes in rat kidney cortex are readily disrupted when incubated in isotonic sucrose at 37 degrees C. 4. Measurement of total and free activity of three acid hydrolases: N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), acid beta-galactosidase and acid beta-glycerophosphatase, indicates that the latency of these enzymes is relatively low in the homogenate (10-29%) and the ML-fraction (14-42%), but high (60-95%) in the purified large lysosomes (protein droplets). 5. The latency of purified small lysosomes is relatively lower (30-60%) than that of large lysosomes, suggesting that small lysosome populations are relatively permeable to the acid hydrolase substrates. 6. Latency variations of acid hydrolases amongst subcellular fractions appear to reflect the heterogeneity of lysosomal populations present in the kidney cortical homogenate.  相似文献

A complete set of chimeras was made between the lysosomal membrane glycoprotein LEP100 and the plasma membrane-directed vesicular stomatitis virus G protein, combining a glycosylated lumenal or ectodomain, a single transmembrane domain, and a cytosolic carboxyl-terminal domain. These chimeras, the parent molecules, and a truncated form of LEP100 lacking the transmembrane and cytosolic domains were expressed in mouse L cells. Only LEP100 and chimeras that included the cytosolic 11 amino acid carboxyl terminus of LEP100 were targeted to lysosomes. The other chimeras accumulated in the plasma membrane, and truncated LEP100 was secreted. Chimeras that included the extracellular domain of vesicular stomatitis G protein and the carboxyl terminus of LEP100 were targeted to lysosomes and very rapidly degraded. Therefore, in chimera-expressing cells, virtually all the chimeric molecules were newly synthesized and still in the biosynthesis and lysosomal targeting pathways. The behavior of one of these chimeras was studied in detail. After its processing in the Golgi apparatus, the chimera entered the plasma membrane/endosome compartment and rapidly cycled between the plasma membrane and endosomes before going to lysosomes. In pulse-expression experiments, a large population of chimeric molecules was observed to appear transiently in the plasma membrane by immunofluorescence microscopy. Soon after protein synthesis was inhibited, this surface population disappeared. When lysosomal proteolysis was inhibited, chimeric molecules accumulated in lysosomes. These data suggest that the plasma membrane/early endosome compartment is on the pathway to the lysosomal membrane. This explains why mutations that block endocytosis result in the accumulation of lysosomal membrane proteins in the plasma membrane.  相似文献

Tumour homogenate fractions, isolated by differential centrifugation, were subfractionated by density-gradient centrifugation. Biochemical and electron microscopic analyses revealed that beta-glucuronidase and cathepsin activity were associated with a class (possibly two) of lysosomal particles of density greater than those of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes sedimented by low g forces were vacuolar, electron-dense, delineated by a unit membrane and about 0.2mum in diameter. beta-Glucuronidase was also apparently associated with ribosomes whereas cathepsin was bound in part to the endoplasmic reticulum. Catalase and glucose 6-phosphatase possessed slightly different density-gradient sedimentation profiles.  相似文献

Exocrine acinar cells possess two cytochemically distinct populations of secondary lysosomes. One population is Golgi associated and has demonstrable acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity, whereas the second is basally located and lacks AcPase activity but has trimetaphosphatase (TMPase) activity. The basal lysosomes are tubular in shape and rapidly label with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) after intravenous injection. In the present study using isolated rat parotid acinar cells, the two lysosomal populations were separated by cell fractionation on Percoll density gradients and were analyzed biochemically and by EM cytochemistry. On 35% Percoll gradients, two peaks of AcPase and beta-hexosaminidase, both lysosomal marker enzymes, and succinic dehydrogenase, an enzyme marker for mitochondria, could be resolved. The major peaks of beta-hexosaminidase and succinic dehydrogenase and the minor peak of AcPase corresponded with the dense lysosome fraction. The major peak of AcPase and the minor peaks for beta-hexosaminidase and succinic dehydrogenase coincided with the light membrane fraction. Galactosyl transferase (a marker enzyme for Golgi saccules) and 5'-nucleotidase (a plasma membrane marker) were also associated with this fraction. By electron microscopy, the light membrane fraction was seen to contain tubular elements, multivesicular bodies (MVB), Golgi saccules, GERL, immature secretory granules, and some mitochondria. Electron microscopic cytochemical examination showed that these tubular structures were lysosomes. The dense lysosome fraction contained lysosomes positive for both AcPase and TMPase. After continuous incubation of isolated acinar cells with HRP, reaction product was rapidly localized to the light membrane fraction (greater than 2 min), where it was found in vesicles and tubular lysosomes. By 10 min it was present in MVB and tubular lysosomes, but by 60 min no HRP reaction product had appeared in the dense lysosomes. These results demonstrate that the tubular lysosomes are separable from dense lysosomes, typical secondary lysosomes, and are involved in the initial stages of endocytosis.  相似文献

STUDIES ON THE RELEASE OF LYSOSOMAL ENZYMES FROM KIDNEY LYSOSOMES   总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
Incubation of kidney lysosomes at 37° results in a graded release of lysosomal enzymes. The release of enzyme occurs in two stages. First the enzymes become available to the substrate but remain sedimentable. Later the amount of soluble enzyme increases and eventually is almost equal to that of the available enzyme. Morphological studies of lysosomes showed that during the process involving increasing availability of enzymes, the lysosomes remained intact. Release of the soluble enzymes was characterized ultrastructurally by a complete loss of the electron-opaque matrix contained within the lysosomal membrane. The increased release of soluble enzymes was concomitant with an increase in the number of individual lysosomes showing complete loss of contents, rather than a gradual loss or dilution of matrix density. Lysosomes which had lost their electron-opaque contents retained their outer membrane intact and were seen to contain numerous internal membranes and small vesicles.  相似文献

Evidence that intracellular protein degradation occurs in lysosomes has been indirect and derived from liver perfusion (1) or the inhibitor studies (2,3). We report here that liver lysosomes of greater purity are obtained from fed rats than from fasted rats. Lysosomes of less purity may contain an enlarged pool of partially degraded intracellular protein; on the other hand, less purity could be due to less marker enzyme, NAβGase. Measurements of NAβGase activity and lysosomal protein of rat livers showed that both NAβGase and lysosomal protein increased upon fasting but protein more so (3.5 and 6.5x, in 2 days). The increase in lysosomal protein is direct evidence that liver lysosomes are involved in intracellular protein degradation during fasting of rats.  相似文献

To quantify the kinetics of the plasma membrane flow into lysosomes, we covalently labelled at 4 degrees C the pericellular membrane of rat fibroblasts and followed label redistribution to the lysosomal membrane using purified lysosomal preparations. The polypeptides were, either labelled with 125I by the lactoperoxidase procedure, or conjugated to [3H]peroxidase using bisdiazobenzidine as a bifunctional reagent. Both labels were initially bound to plasma membrane, as indicated by their equilibrium density in sucrose or Percoll gradients and their displacement by digitonin, as well as by electron microscopy. Upon cell incubation at 37 degrees C, both covalent labels were lost from cells with diphasic kinetics: a minor component (35% of cell-associated labels) was rapidly released (half-life less than 1 h), and most label (65%) was released slowly (half-life was 20 h for incorporated 125I and 27 h for 3H). Immediately after labelling up to 30 h after incubation at 37 degrees C, the patterns of 125I-polypeptides quantified by autoradiography after SDS-PAGE were indistinguishable, indicating no preferential turnover for the major plasma membrane polypeptides. The redistribution of both labels to lysosomes was next quantified by cell fractionation. At equilibrium (between 6 and 25 h of cell incubation) 2-4% of cell-associated 125I label was recovered with the purified lysosomal membranes. By contrast, when 3H-labelled cells were incubated for 16 h, most of the label codistributed with lysosomes. However, only 6% of cell-associated 3H was bound to lysosomal membrane. These results indicate that in cultured rat fibroblasts, a minor fraction of plasma membrane polypeptides becomes associated with the lysosomal membrane and is constantly equilibrated by membrane traffic.  相似文献
