Purification and reconstitution of Escherichia coli proline carrier using a site specifically cleavable fusion protein 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We previously constructed a bifunctionally active membrane-bound fusion protein, in which Escherichia coli proline carrier (the product of the putP gene) was linked with beta-galactosidase (the product of the lacZ gene) through a collagen linker (Hanada, K., Yamato, I., and Anraku, Y. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 14100-14104). The proline carrier was purified from this site specifically cleavable fusion protein. Cytoplasmic membranes overproducing the fusion protein were solubilized with dodecylmaltoside, and the solubilized fraction was subjected to anti-beta-galactosidase IgG-Sepharose chromatography. The fusion protein was specifically adsorbed to the immunoaffinity resin and then treated with collagenase for splitting the proline carrier moiety of the fusion protein from the beta-galactosidase moiety. The collagenase used for the collagenolysis was then removed by anti-collagenase IgG-Sepharose chromatography. In this way, the proline carrier was purified to more than 95% homogeneity of the protein. Proline transport in proteoliposomes reconstituted with the purified carrier was dependent on the membrane potential and the chemical gradient of Na+ across the membrane with apparent Michaelis constants for proline and for Na+ stimulation of 3.6 microM and 31 microM, respectively. These results indicated that the proline carrier mediates electrogenic Na+/proline symport. 相似文献

A series of mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 requiring a high concentration of L-proline for growth were isolated from a proline auxotroph strain, JE2133. Genetic studies of the mutants, PT19, PT21, and PT22, showed that all the mutations (proT) were point mutations, and these were mapped at 82 min on the E. coli genetic map. Intact cells and cytoplasmic membrane vesicles of these mutants were specifically defective in L-proline transport activity. Strain PT21 had no detectable activity of the L-proline transport carrier at all, and strains PT19 and PT22 had only 1/35 and 1/70, respectively, of the transport activity of the parental strain. The mutants were also shown to have a defect in proline-binding function of the carrier by measuring specific binding of proline to sonically disrupted membranes. These results indicate that the gene proT determines the function of proline carrier in the cytoplasmic membrane. 相似文献

Purification of the lactose:H+ carrier of Escherichia coli and characterization of galactoside binding and transport 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The lactose carrier, a galactoside:H+ symporter in Escherichia coli, has been purified from cytoplasmic membranes by pre-extraction of the membranes with 5-sulfosalicylate, solubilization in dodecyl-O-beta-D-maltoside, Ecteola-column chromatography, and removal of residual impurities by anti-impurity antibodies. Subsequently, the purified carrier was reincorporated into E. coli phospholipid vesicles. Purification was monitored by tracer N-[3H]ethylmaleimide-labeled carrier and by binding of the substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. All purified carrier molecules were active in substrate binding and the purified protein was at least 95% pure by several criteria. Substrate binding to the purified carrier in detergent micelles and in reconstituted proteoliposomes yielded a stoichiometry close to one molecule substrate bound per polypeptide chain. Large unilamellar proteoliposomes (1-5-micron diameter) were prepared from initially small reconstituted vesicles by freeze-thaw cycles and low-speed centrifugation. These proteoliposomes catalyzed facilitated diffusion and active transport in response to artificially imposed electrochemical proton gradients (delta mu H+) or one of its components (delta psi or delta pH). Comparison of the steady-state level of galactoside accumulation and the nominal value of the driving gradients yielded cotransport stoichiometries up to 0.7 proton/galactoside, suggesting that the carrier protein is the only component required for active galactoside transport. The half-saturation constants for active uptake of lactose (KT = 200 microM) or beta-D-galactosyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactoside (KT = 50-80 microM) by the purified carrier were found to be similar to be similar to those measured in cells or cytoplasmic membrane vesicles. The maximum rate for active transport expressed as a turnover number was similar in proteoliposomes and cytoplasmic membrane vesicles (kcat = 3-4 s-1 for lactose) but considerably smaller than in cells (kcat = 40-60 s-1). Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. 相似文献

Membrane protein(s) responsible for the active transport of calcium in membrane vesicles from Mycobacterium phlei have been solubilized from membranes by sodium cholate treatment and partially purified using a hydrophobic resin. Reconstitution of calcium transport was demonstrated by reconstitution of detergent extracted membranes with the partially purified protein. The uptake of calcium in the reconstituted system was sensitive to proton-conducting uncouplers. Liposomes prepared with partially purified calcium translocating protein were capable of accumulating calcium. The uptake of calcium in this system occurred as a result of an artificial proton gradient generated by the reduction of entrapped ferricyanide with ascorbate-benzoquinone serving as a hydrogen carrier. The addition of the ionophore A23187 caused efflux of accumulated calcium in both native and proteoliposomal-reconstituted system. 相似文献

The beta 1-adrenergic receptors of turkey erythrocyte membranes have been identified by binding of the radioactively labeled antagonist (--)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol, solubilized by treatment of the membranes with the detergent digitonin, and purified by affinity chromatography. Binding of (--)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol to the membranes occurred to a single class of non-cooperative binding sites (0.2--0.3 pmol/mg protein) with a equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 8 (+/- 2) nM. These sites were identified as the functional, adenylate-cyclase-linked beta 1-adrenergic receptors on the basis of: firstly, the fast association and dissociation binding kinetics at 30 degrees C; secondly, the stereospecific displacement of bound (--)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol by beta-adrenergic agonists and antagonists; and thirdly, the order of potencies for agonists to displace bound tracer (isoproterenol congruent to protokylol greater than norepinephrine congruent to epinephrine) similar to the one found for adenylate cyclase activation, and typical for beta 1-adrenergic receptors. Treatment of the membranes with the detergent digitonin solubilized 30% of the receptors in an active form. Digitonin solubilized also adenylate cyclase activity with a yield of 20 to 30%, provided the membranes were first treated with an effector known to produce a persistent active state of the enzyme: e.g. sodium fluoride. Binding sites for guanine nucleotides ([3H]p[NH]ppG) were solubilized as well. Their concentration (24 pmol/mg protein) was in large excess over the concentration of solubilized receptors (0.30--0.45 pmol/mg protein). Solubilized receptors were purified 500--2000-fold by affinity chromatography with a 25 to 35% yield, using an alprenolol-agarose affinity matrix. Affinity purified receptors were devoid of measurable adenylate cyclase activity and guanine nucleotide binding sites, thus showing that receptors and adenylate cyclase are distinct membrane constituents, and that guanine nucleotides apparently do not bind directly to the receptor molecules. Membrane-bound, solubilized and purified receptors were sensitive to inactivation by dithiothreitol, but not by N-ethylmaleimide, suggesting that receptors are at least partly constituted of protein molecules, with essential disulfide bonds. 相似文献

A proline transport carrier was extracted from the membranes of Escherichia coli with acidic n-butanol. Vesicles reconstituted from the butanol extract and E. coli phospholipids and preloaded with K+ showed rapid uphill uptake of proline when energy was supplied as a membrane potential introduced by K+-diffusion via valinomycin. Proline uptake by the reconstituted vesicles, like that of intact cells and isolated membrane vesicles, was inhibited by 3,4-dehydroproline, SH reagents, and a proton conducting uncoupler. Reconstituted vesicles of mutants defective in proline transport showed little or no proline uptake. The proline carrier was partially purified from the extract and separated from the bulk of phospholipids on Sephadex LH-20. 相似文献

The high-affinity choline transporter has been solubilized from synaptosomal membranes by various detergents. The solubilized carrier protein has been incorporated into liposomes after removal of the detergent by dialysis. Using the reconstitution of choline transport activity as an assay, the components catalyzing choline translocation were purified from the detergent extract by ion-exchange chromatography on a Mono-Q column followed by immunoaffinity chromatography. Monitoring the active fractions by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectrofocussing gave one major protein with an apparent molecular weight of about 90,000 and an isoelectric point of pH 4.7. The isolated protein appeared to be heavily glycosylated as shown by lectin binding; upon treatment with endoglycosidase F the polypeptide was degraded to an apparent molecular weight of about 65,000. Accumulation of choline into liposomes reconstituted with the purified protein was driven by artificially imposed sodium gradients and inhibited by hemicholinium-3. 相似文献

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to selectively label the rabbit intestinal brush-border imino carrier, identify the binding protein on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and monitor the effect of ions on fluorescein quenching. FITC inhibits Na+-dependent L-proline transport irreversibly, but transport is protected by physiological concentrations of Na+ and L-proline. About 1 nmol of FITC/mg of protein binds specifically to the transporter, which was identified by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a 100 +/- 5-kDa peptide. Na+ produced a specific, saturable quench in the fluorescence of FITC bound to the proline carrier. Both transport and FITC quenching are inhibited by n-acetylimidazole, and membranes are protected from acetylation by Na+. We conclude that Na+ binds to the proline carrier (100-kDa peptide) to produce a change in conformation that results in an increase in the affinity of the carrier for proline. 相似文献

To study the characteristics of the CCK receptor, plasma membranes were prepared from mouse pancreatic acini, and CCK receptors solubilized with 1% digitonin. To measure hormone binding, the solubilized receptors were incubated with 125I-CCK at 4 degrees C and the hormone-receptor complex was precipitated with 10% polyethylene glycol. Specific 125I-CCK binding by the solubilized CCK receptor was compared to that by the plasma membrane-bound CCK receptor. Both the solubilized and the membrane-bound receptor displayed optimal binding at an acidic pH (between 6.0 and 7.0) and showed a similar sensitivity to monovalent and divalent cations. The solubilized receptors preserved their relative specificity for CCK molecules: CCK-8 greater than CCK-33 greater than desulfated CCK-8 greater than CCK-4. However, the soluble CCK receptor had a lower binding affinity than plasma membrane-bound receptor. Solubilized receptors preserved their relative specificity for inhibitors of CCK binding and action: dibutyryl cyclic GMP greater than N-CBZ-tryptophan greater than proglumide. Solubilized receptors had affinities for these antagonists that were similar to receptors on intact plasma membranes. These data indicate, therefore, that the specific binding properties of the CCK receptor are inherent to the solubilized glycoprotein molecules. 相似文献

1. Glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase solubilized from liver microsomes were able to rebind to microsomal vesicles while the corresponding dehydrogenases extracted from mitochondria showed no affinity for microsomes. 2. Competition was noticed between microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase and microsomal malate dehydrogenase in the binding to microsomal membranes. Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase or bovine serum albumin did not inhibit the binding of microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase to microsomes. 3. Binding of microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase to microsomal membranes decreased when microsomes was preincubated with trypsin. 4. Rough microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase was more efficiently bound to rough microsomes than smooth microsomes. Conversely, smooth microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase had higher affinity for smooth microsomes than for rough microsomes. 5. A difference was noticed among the glutamate dehydrogenase isolated from rough and smooth microsomes, and from mitochondria, which suggested the possibility of minor post-translational modification of enzyme molecules in the transport from the site of synthesis to mitochondria. 相似文献

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor was identified on the membranes from human placenta and 66% of original binding activity in the membranes was solubilized with 0.75% (w/v) CHAPS. Binding studies of the solubilized membranes using 125I-ET-1 indicated the presence of a single class of high-affinity binding sites with an apparent Kd of 760 pM and a Bmax of 1.8 pmol/mg of protein. The binding was inhibited by addition of unlabeled ET-1 and ET-3 in dose dependent manner. The Ki values of solubilized membranes were 84 pM for ET-1 and 250 pM for ET-3, whereas particulate membranes had weaker affinities (Ki = 410 pM for ET-1, 2500 pM for ET-3). Calcium channel blockers such as nicardipine, verapamil and diltiazem did not affect the binding of 125I-ET-1. Affinity labeling of the particulate and solubilized membranes with CHAPS revealed a specific binding protein with a Mr of 32,000. 相似文献

Membrane vesicles from Mycobacterium phlei contain carrier proteins for proline, glutamine, and glutamic acid. The transport of proline is Na+ dependent and required substrate oxidation. A proline carrier protein was solubilized from the membrane vesicles by treatment with cholate and Triton X-100. Electron microscopic observation of the detergent-treated membrane vesicles showed that they are closed structures. The detergent-extracted proteins were purified by means of sucrose density gradient centrifugation, followed by gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. A single protein with a molecular weight of 20,000 +/- 1000 was found on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Reconstitution of proline transport was demonstrated when the purified protein was incubated with the detergent-extracted membrane vesicles. This reconstituted transport system was specific for proline and required substrate oxidation and Na+. The purified protein was also incorporated into liposomes, and proline uptake was demonstrated when energy was supplied as a membrane potential introduced by K+ diffusion via valinomycin. The uptake of proline was Na+ dependent and was inhibited by uncoupler or by sulfhydryl reagents. 相似文献

A method for the isolation of brush-border membranes from newborn-rat kidney, employing centrifugation and free-flow electrophoresis, is described. The composition and purity of the preparation was assessed by determination of enzyme activities specific for various cellular membranes. Free-flow electrophoresis resolves the newborn-rat renal membrane suspension into two populations of alkaline phosphatase-enriched brush-border membranes, designated 'A' and 'B', with the A peak also showing activity of (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase, the basolateral membrane marker enzyme, whereas those of the B peak were enriched 11-fold in alkaline phosphatase and substantially decreased in (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase activity. Membranes in the A peak showed a 7-fold enrichment of alkaline phosphatase, and (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase activity similar to that of the original homogenate. Proline uptake employed to assess osmotic dependency revealed 7% binding of proline to the B vesicles and 31% to the A vesicles. This contrasts with 60% proline binding to vesicles prepared by centrifugation alone. Unlike vesicles from adult animals, proline uptake by B vesicles did not show an Na+-stimulated overshoot, but did exhibit an Na+-gradient enhanced rate of early proline entry. proline entry. 相似文献

The opioid-binding activity of digitonin extract of bovine adrenal medullary membranes was studied. [3H]Diprenorphine binding to the solubilized material was rapid and saturable. The dissociation constant of [3H]diprenorphine binding was 0.76 nM. Several opioids displaced the [3H]diprenorphine binding. The complex of [3H]diprenorphine and the solubilized binding sites was eluted as a single peak on a Sepharose 6B column and showed an apparent molecular weight of 200,000. These results indicate that active opioid receptors are solubilized with digitonin from bovine adrenal medullary membranes. 相似文献

Calcitonin (CT) binding activity has been extracted from a membrane fraction of human placenta using the zwitterionic detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonic acid (Chaps). Approximately two-thirds of the available binding sites were extracted using 5 mM-Chaps. The binding characteristics of 125I-labelled salmon CT(125I-sCT) to the solubilized extract were similar to those obtained previously with placental membranes and other targets such as osteoclasts, renal cells and certain human cancer cell lines. 125I-sCT binding was saturable (Bmax. 75 +/- 6 fmol/mg of protein, n = 3) and Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of high-affinity binding sites (Kd 165 +/- 28 pM, n = 3). In competitive-binding studies, various species-specific CTs and CT analogues showed the same rank order of potencies as seen in CT bioassays and several unrelated peptides did not compete at high doses. A biologically active CT analogue, [Arg11,18, Lys14]sCT, derivatized with the photoreactive phenylazide cross-linking agent, N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate, was used to identify receptor components of Mr approximately 88,000 and approximately 71,000 in both particulate placental membranes and the solubilized extract. Receptor components of Mr 85-90,000 have been identified in other CT target cells previously using chemical- and photoaffinity-labelling techniques. These results demonstrate the first successful solubilization of the CT receptor in a form which purification. 相似文献

Plasma membrane suspensions of Ehrlich ascites cells solubilized with cholic acid were used to study the effects of sulfhydryl reagents on Na(+)-dependent amino acid transport. These suspensions were treated with the sulfhydryl binding agents p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid or N-ethylmaleimide prior to reconstitution for the assay of transport activity. The proteoliposomes formed from dissolved membranes treated with p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid showed no Na(+)-dependent alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport, while N-ethylmaleimide pretreated membranes retained approximately 90% of the original activity. To avoid interference by the N-ethylmaleimide component, further studies were carried out with membranes pretreated with 200 microM N-ethylmaleimide prior to p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid treatment. A concentration of 25 microM p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid inhibited Na(+)-dependent alpha-aminoisobutyric acid transport by 50%. The degree of inhibition was dramatically reduced in the presence of substrates specific for the A transport system. Using an inhibition index to address the efficacy of inhibition in presence and absence of substrates, it could be shown that an index of 1.0 in presence of p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid was reduced to 0.84 with (methylamino)isobutyric acid alone and 0.05 in the presence of 100 mM Na+ and 5 mM (methylamino)isobutyric acid. Na+ alone offered no protection. The results show that sulfhydryl group(s) on the amino acid carrier may be directly involved in substrate binding and that substrate binding sites are functional in the disaggregated membrane state. Furthermore, Na+ directly affects (methylamino)isobutyrate binding, since the degree of protection by the amino acid analogue against p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid inhibition was influenced by the presence of Na+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

An alanine transport carrier was solubilized from membranes of the thermophilic bacterium PS3 with cholate-deoxycholate mixture. It was then partially purified by diethyl aminoethyl cellulose column chromatography and gel filtration. For assay of alanine carrier activity it was reconstituted into vesicles with P-lipids and the transport energy was supplied as a membrane potential introduced by K+-diffusion via valinomycin. The partially purified carrier had no ATPase or NADH dehydrogenase activity. Active transport of alanine driven by the membrane potential was completely abolished by an uncoupler. 相似文献

For construction of bifunctionally active membrane-bound fusion proteins, we designed plasmids encoding fusion proteins in which the carboxyl terminus of Escherichia coli proline carrier was joined to the amino terminus of E. coli beta-galactosidase directly or with a collagen linker inserted between the two. The expressions of these fusion proteins complemented deficiencies in both proline transport and beta-galactosidase activity in E. coli cells. The fusion proteins were stable and mostly localized in the cytoplasmic membrane. The proline transport activities of the fusion proteins were kinetically similar to that of the wild type proline carrier. The beta-galactosidase moiety of the collagen-linked fusion protein was liberated from membrane vesicles by collagenase treatment. The Km value of released beta-galactosidase for o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside hydrolysis was similar to that of membrane-bound beta-galactosidase in the fusion protein. These results indicated that the fusion proteins are bifunctionally active and exhibit normal proline transport and beta-galactosidase activities. The crypticity of the beta-galactosidase activity associated with the fusion proteins indicated that the carboxyl terminus of the proline carrier was located on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. 相似文献

System A-mediated amino acid transport activity from rat liver plasma membrane vesicles has been solubilized and reconstituted into proteoliposomes using a freeze-thaw-dilution technique. The presence of cholate, at a cholate to protein ratio of 1:1, during the freeze-thaw step resulted in an enhancement in recoverable transport activity. The carrier required both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine for optimal activity, but the addition of cholesterol to the reconstitution procedure appeared to have no significant effect on the resulting activity. A lipid to protein ratio of 20:1 yielded maximal transport activity. Sonication of the proteoliposomes provided some improvement in the accuracy of replicate assays for a given proteoliposome preparation. Isolated liver plasma membrane vesicles prepared from rats treated in vivo with glucagon in combination with dexamethasone contained stimulated System A activity. This enhanced transport activity could be solubilized and recovered in proteoliposomes generated from these plasma membranes. The data support the proposal that hormone regulation of the hepatic System A gene results in the de novo synthesis and plasma membrane insertion of the carrier protein itself. 相似文献

—The protein kinase which in rat brain synaptosomal plasma membranes is responsible for the phosphorylation of a protein band B-50 (MW 48, 000) was inhibited by the behaviorally active peptide ACTH1–24 and not stimulated by cAMP. Treatment with 0.5% Triton X-100 in 75 mM-KCl solubilized 15% of the total B-50 protein kinase activity and preserved the sensitivity of the enzyme to ACTH1–24. The rate of endogenous phosphorylation of protein band B-50 was different in intact SPM, solubilized fraction and residue. cAMP stimulated the endogenous phosphorylation of the solubilized fraction in a rather general manner. The solubilized membrane material also phosphorylated B-50 proteins which were previously extracted from membranes. Column chromatography of the solubilized material over DEAE-cellulose pointed to the presence of multiple protein kinase activities from rat brain synaptosomal plasma membranes, one of which was the ACTH-sensitive B-50 protein kinase. 相似文献
