Studies of the temperature dependence (10-40 degrees C) of guanylate cyclase in rat intestinal microbillus membranes reveal a change in energy of activation (slope of the Arrhenius plot) at 30 +/- 1 degree C. The break point temperature corresponds to the lipid thermotropic transition in these membranes previously characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (range: 23-39 degrees C; peak temperature, 31 degrees C). The break point temperature for guanylate cyclase also corresponds to that of a number of other microbillus membrane enzymes and of D-glucose transport. These activities are defined as "intrinsic" membrane activities by this operational criterion. Treatment with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX increased the guanylate cyclase activity 4- to 8-fold and removed the discontinuity in the Arrhenius plot. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted, using a nonspecific lipid transfer protein, to vary the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio of rat proximal small intestinal microvillus membranes in order to assess the possible role of cholesterol in modulating enzymatic activities of this plasma membrane. Cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratios from 0.71 to 1.30 were produced from a normal value of 1.05 by incubation with the transfer protein and an excess of either phosphatidylcholine or cholesterol/phosphatidylcholine liposomes for 60 min at 37 degrees C. Cholesterol loading or depletion of the membranes was accompanied by a decrease or increase, respectively, in their lipid fluidity, as assessed by steady-state fluorescence polarization techniques using the lipid-soluble fluorophore 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. Increasing the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio also decreased alkaline phosphatase specific activity by approximately 20-30%, whereas decreasing this ratio increased this enzymatic activity by 20-30%. Sucrase, maltase, and lactase specific activities were not affected in these same preparations. Since the changes in alkaline phosphatase activity could be secondary to alterations in fluidity, cholesterol, or both, additional experiments were performed using benzyl alcohol, a known fluidizer. Benzyl alcohol (25 mM) restored the fluidity of cholesterol-enriched preparations to control levels, did not change the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio, and failed to alter alkaline phosphatase activity. These findings, therefore, indicate that alterations in the cholesterol content and cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio of microvillus membranes can modulate alkaline phosphatase but not sucrase, maltase, or lactase activities. Moreover, membrane fluidity does not appear to be an important physiological regulator of these enzymatic activities. 相似文献

Rat intestinal microvillus membranes. Purification and biochemical characterization 总被引:34,自引:17,他引:34 下载免费PDF全文
1. A technique is described for the removal of subcellular contaminants from intact rat intestinal brush borders, and for the subsequent separation of a microvillus membrane fraction from a fibrillar residue. 2. Increments in invertase activity, microscopic homogeneity and low nucleic acid content indicate that the microvillus plasma membrane has been extensively purified. Multiple membrane preparations have been shown to be highly reproducible with respect to their invertase specific activity, cholesterol content and phospholipid content. Alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and seven separate disaccharidases were shown to be predominantly confined to the membrane fraction. 3. The fibrillar fraction has been shown to contain approximately 30% of the total protein of purified brush borders, plus most of the residual nucleic acid contaminant. No evidence was found for the localization of any specific enzyme in this fraction. 相似文献

Studies on the binding of iron by rabbit intestinal microvillus membranes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
1. 59Fe binding by microvillus membranes purified from rabbit intestine was studied by means of a microfiltration procedure. 2. Binding activity from ferrous ascorbate chelates was 100-fold greater than from ferric chelates of citrate and nitrilotriacetate. Dual-label experiments indicated dissociation of iron complexes before binding to the membranes. 3. Binding was inhibited at low incubation temperatures and was optimal at neutral pH. 4. Binding activity was reduced in ileal preparations when compared with membranes prepared from proximal intestine. 5. Initial binding velocity followed saturation kinetics over the range 45-450 microM-iron: it was weakly inhibited in the presence of excess Co2+ and V3+. 6. The data provide additional evidence for high-affinity iron-binding sites on the intestinal microvillus membrane and indicate properties that may reflect the functional significance of the binding step in the absorption pathway for iron. 相似文献

Isolated brush border membranes of the intestinal epithelial cell were labeled with a hydrophobic photoactive compound [125I]iodonaphthylazide. High incorporation of the radioactive naphthylazide was noted for molecular weight bands of 99 000, 86 000, 65 000, 54 000 and 30 000. Minimal labeling occurred in the higher bands of 300 000, 135 000, 125 000 and 17 000. The iodonaphthylazide label was not removed by extensive papain digestion whereas chloramine T iodinated membranes released radioactivity under the same conditions. Neither enzymatic nor transport activities were inhibited by the presence of iodonaphthylazide or the irradiation process. On the basis of the presented data it is concluded that the iodonaphthylazide unspecifically labels those portions of membrane proteins which are inserted into the lipid bilayer matrix. 相似文献

The interaction of retinol and microvillus membranes prepared from the duodenum, jejunum and ileum of the rat can be studied readily by fluorescence and fluorescence polarization. A characteristic pattern of increased retinol anisotropy in membranes from more distal segments is demonstrated. Studies with trypsin indicate that the membrane proteins influence retinol fluorescence intensity and anisotropy. 相似文献

1. Rat intestinal microvillus plasma membranes were prepared from previously isolated brush borders and the lipid composition was analysed. 2. The molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was greatest in the membranes and closely resembled that reported for myelin. 3. Unesterified cholesterol was the major neutral lipid. However, 30% of the neutral lipid fraction was accounted for by glycerides and fatty acid. 4. Five phospholipid components were identified and measured, including phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine. Though phosphatidylethanolamine was the chief phospholipid, no plasmalogen was detected. 5. In contrast with other plasma membranes in the rat, the polar lipids of the microvillus membrane were rich in glycolipid. The cholesterol:polar lipid (phospholipid+glycolipid) ratio was about 1:3 for the microvillus membrane. Published data suggest that this ratio resembles that of the liver plasma membrane more closely than myelin or the erythrocyte membrane. 6. The fatty acid composition of membrane lipids was altered markedly by a single feeding of safflower oil. Membrane polar lipids did not contain significantly more saturated fatty acids than cellular polar lipids. Differences in the proportion of some fatty acids in membrane and cellular glycerides were noted. These differences may reflect the presence of specific membrane glycerides. 相似文献

Mixtures of lipids and protein, the ATPase from rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum, were studied by freeze-fracture electron microscopy and by measurement of the amount of fluid lipid with the spin label 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEM-PO). In dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles the protein molecules were randomly distributed above the transition temperature, Tt, of the lipid and aggregated below Tt. For mixtures of dimyristoyl and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine the existence of fluid and solid domains were shown in the temperature interval predicted from earlier TEMPO measurements. When protein was incorporated into this lipid mixture, freeze-fracture particles were randomly distributed in fluid lipids, or aggregated when only solid lipids were present. In mixtures of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine with cholesterol the protein was distributed randomly above the transition temperature of the phosphatidylcholine. Below that transition temperature the protein was excluded from a banded phase of solid lipid in the case of 10 mol% cholesterol. In mixtures containing 20 mol% cholesterol, protein molecules formed linear arrays, 50-200 nm in length, around smooth patches of lipid. Phase diagrams for lipid/cholesterol and lipid/protein systems are proposed which account for many of the available data. A model for increasing solidification of lipid around protein molecules or cholesterol above the transition temperature of the lipid is discussed. 相似文献

Fucose and sialic acid contents of intestinal microvillus membranes isolated from different animal species have been analysed. Expressed on protein basis, brush borders from fish contained considerably high amounts of sialic acid (298 +/- 16 nmole/mg protein), while rat, goat, sheep and guinea pig membranes showed 41-61 nmole/mg protein. Pig, frog, monkey rabbit and chicken membranes exhibited low levels of sialic acid (10-13 nmole/mg protein). Fucose content of the brush borders was quite high (203-212 nmole/mg protein) in frog and fish intestines. It was least in rabbit (54 +/- 3) and of intermediate levels (80-122 nmole/mg protein) in various other animal species analysed. Fucose to sialic acid molar ratio was less than 1 in fish microvillus membranes. In all other animal species, the ratio was however, greater than one and ranged between 1.65 and 15.20. 相似文献

Lipid fluidity and composition of intestinal microvillus membranes isolated from rats of different ages 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The lipid composition and fluidity of microvillus (luminal) membranes isolated from the small intestines of Fisher 344 rats aged 6, 17, and 117 weeks were compared. Lipid fluidity, as assessed by the fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, was significantly greater in rats aged 6 weeks as compared to 17 or 117 weeks. A lipid thermotropic transition was observed at 17.5 +/- 1.3 degrees C in the membranes of the youngest group, approx. 5-6 degrees C lower than that of the older animals. The differences in lipid composition which account for the higher fluidity of the youngest preparations include a decreased cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio in both the proximal and distal halves of the small intestine and, in the proximal half alone, increases in the lipid/protein ratio and double bond index. The foregoing reduction in cholesterol/phospholipid ratio derives mainly from a higher content of total phospholipid, and the increment in double bond index results from an increase in arachidonic acid residues. The results demonstrate an age-dependent decrease in fluidity of intestinal microvillus membranes in the early post-weaning period in the rat. This pattern was unlike that of the microvillus membrane p-nitrophenylphosphatase, whose specific activity declined progressively in the older age groups. 相似文献

Summary The arrangement of the sugar hydrolases, sucrase-isomaltase, maltase, and lactase on the microvillus membrane of rat intestine was investigated by immunological technique. The enzymes were purified essentially free of each other to near homogeneity and antisera of high specificity were obtained against each. Microvillus membranes were prepared routinely in high purity from rat intestine and contained an average 61% protein, 20% lipid, and 19% carbohydrate, with the sugar hydrolases comprising an estimated 20–25% of the membrane protein. The immunoreactivity of membrane-bound sucrase-isomaltase, maltase, and lactase was investigated with antisera demonstrating specific reactivity to each, when tested in the presence of other membrane extractives. The membrane-bound enzymes were found in each case to combine with antibody in amounts equivalent to that required to effect precipitation of comparable units of the free enzymes from solution. Preloading membrane vesicles with antibodies to any two of the enzymes did not affect either the immunoreactivity or extractability (by papain or Triton X-100) of the third.The antibody-binding studies indicated an arrangement of these enzymes independent of each other on the membrane surface, in a manner allowing each to maintain a high degree of molecular freedom. 相似文献

Glutathione-degrading enzymes of microvillus membranes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Microvillus membranes from rat kidney, jejunum, and epididymis have been purified by the Ca precipitation method. The membranes exhibit enrichment in specific activities of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, aminopeptidase M, and a dipeptidase. The latter has been characterized and shown to be the principal activity responsible for the hydrolysis of S derivatives of Cys-Gly (including cystinyl-bis-glycine (Cys-bis-Gly) and 5-hydroxy-6-S-cysteinylglycyl-1-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene D4)). A method is described for the simultaneous purification of papain-solubilized forms of the three enzymes from renal microvilli. Dipeptidase (Mr = 105,000) appears to be a zinc metalloprotein composed of two Mr = 50,000 subunits. The enzyme is severalfold more effective in the hydrolysis of dipeptides than aminopeptidase M. Dipeptidase, in contrast to aminopeptidase M, is inhibited by thiol compounds; Cys-Gly, in particular, is a potent inhibitor (Ki = 20 microM). The inhibition of dipeptidase by thiols has been employed to probe the relative significance of dipeptidase and aminopeptidase M in the metabolism of glutathione and its derivatives at the membrane surface. 相似文献

All molecular interactions that are relevant to cellular and molecular structures are electrical in nature but manifest in a rich variety of forms that each has its own range and influences on the net effect of how molecular species interact. This article outlines how electrical interactions between the protein and lipid membrane components underlie many of the activities of membrane function. Particular emphasis is placed on spatially localised behaviour in membranes involving modulation of protein activity and microdomain structure.The interactions between membrane lipids and membrane proteins together with their role within cell biology represent an enormous body of work. Broad conclusions are not easy given the complexities of the various systems and even consensus with model membrane systems containing two or three lipid types is difficult. By defining two types of broad lipid–protein interaction, respectively Type I as specific and Type II as more non-specific and focussing on the electrical interactions mostly in the extra-membrane regions it is possible to assemble broad rules or a consensus of the dominant features of the interplay between these two fundamentally important classes of membrane component. This article is part of a special issue entitled: Lipid–protein interactions. 相似文献

Summary Lithium diiodosalicylate (LIS) was used to selectively solubilize proteins from purified intestinal brush border membrane vesicles. Incubation of the vesicles with increasing concentrations of LIS resulted in the progressive release of proteins with total disruption of the membranes being obtained at 200 mM. Maximum selectivity was observed at 20–30 mM LIS which preferentially released actin and other non-glycosylated proteins while all the glycoproteins remained associated with the membrane. Electron micrographs showed that, after LIS treatment, brush border vesicles are partially disrupted and have lost their inner core of microfilaments. Sucrase, trehalase, leucylnaphthylamide hydrolase, -glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase all retained more than 70% of their activities and remained associated with the membrane fraction after LIS solubilization (30 mM). The results indicate that lithium diiodosalicylate treatment provides an efficient method for the separation of cytoskeletal proteins from intrinsic membrane glycoproteins and should be very useful for the purification of microvilli proteins and for the study of membrane-protein interactions.Abbreviations LIS
