Highly purified plasma membranes of calf thymocytes were fractionated by means of affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose into two subfractions; one (fraction 1) eluted freely from the affinity column, the second (fraction 2) adhered specifically to concanavalin A-Sepharose. Previous analysis showed that both subfractions were right-side-out (Resch, K., Schneider, S. and Szamel, M. (1981) Anal. Biochem. 117, 282-292). The ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was nearly identical in plasma membrane and both subfractions. When isolated plasma membranes were labelled with tritiated NaBH4, both subfractions exhibited identical specific radioactivities. After enzymatic radioiodination of thymocytes, the relative distribution of labelled proteins and externally exposed phospholipids was very similar in isolated plasma membranes and in both membrane subfractions, indicating the plasma membrane nature of the subfractions separated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose. This finding was further substantiated by the nearly identical specific activities of some membrane-bound enzymes, Mg2+-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The specific activities of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and of lysolecithin acyltransferase were several-fold enriched in fraction 2 compared to fraction 1, especially after rechromatography of fraction 1 on concanavalin A-Sepharose. Unseparated membrane vesicles contained two types of binding site for concanavalin A. In contrast, isolated subfractions showed a linear Scatchard plot; fraction 2 exhibited fewer binding sites for concanavalin A: the association constant was, however, 3.5-times higher than that measured in fraction 1. When plasma membranes isolated from concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes were separated by affinity chromatography, the yield of the two subfractions was similar to that of membranes from unstimulated lymphocytes. Upon stimulation with concanavalin A, Mg2+-ATPase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase were suppressed in their activities in both membrane subfractions. In contrast, the specific activities of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and lysolecithin acyltransferase were enhanced preferentially in the adherent fraction (fraction 2). The data suggest the existence of domains in the plasma membrane of lymphocytes which are formed by a spatial and functional coupling of receptors with high affinity for concanavalin A, and certain membrane-bound enzymes, implicated in the initiation of lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

Purified plasma membranes of mouse EL4 lymphoma cells were fractionated by means of affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose into two subfractions; one (MF1) eluted freely from the affinity column, the second (MF2) adhered specifically to Con A-Sepharose. Both membrane subfractions proved to be of plasma membrane origin, as evidenced by the following criteria. (i) The ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was nearly identical in plasma membrane and both subfractions. (ii) When isolated plasma membranes were labelled with tritiated NaBH4, both subfractions exhibited identical specific radioactivities. (iii) After enzymatic radioiodination of the cells, the total content of labelled proteins was very similar in isolated plasma membranes and in both subfractions. (iv) Some plasma membrane marker enzymes exhibited nearly identical specific activities in plasma membranes, MF1 or MF2 including gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase. Both subfractions exhibited characteristic differences. Thus the specific activities of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase were several-fold enriched in MF2 compared to MF1. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a different polypeptide composition of the two subfractions. Polypeptides of apparent molecular mass of 116, 95, 42, 39, 30 and 28 kDa were highly enriched in MF2, whereas MF1 contained another set of proteins, of apparent molecular mass of 70, 55 and 24 kDa. The phospholipid fatty acid composition of the subfractions proved to be different, as well, MF2 contained more saturated fatty acids than MF1. The data suggest the existence of plasma membrane domains in the plasma membranes of the mouse EL4 lymphoma cells, containing a set of polypeptides, among others membrane bound enzymes, embedded in a different phospholipid milieu. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of glycerolipids by hepatoma and liver microsomes. I. Fatty acyl-CoA ligase and acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Highly purified plasma membranes of calf thymocytes were fractionated by means of affinity chromatography on ouabain-Sepharose. By the method used two subfractions were obtained, one eluting freely from the affinity gel (MF1oua) and a second specifically retained by matrix-bound ouabain (MF2oua), with a total recovery of 95 per cent. Fractionation required the binding of matrix-bound ouabain to its plasma membrane receptor, i.e. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Increasing the temperature and binding time did not significantly alter the fractionation of plasma membranes into the two subfractions. Both plasma membrane subfractions separated by ouabain-Sepharose were of plasma membrane origin, as revealed by the identical specific activities of several membrane bound enzymes, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase and Mg2+-ATPase in unseparated plasma membranes and in both subfractions, and by the identical amounts of the cytoskeletal protein actin in unseparated plasma membranes and subfractions. The plasma membrane subfractions MF1oua and MF2oua showed different structural and functional properties. In SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis polypeptides of 170, 150, 110, 94, 39, and 30 kDa were several-fold enriched in the adherent fraction, MF2oua. The phospholipid fatty acid composition of the plasma membrane subfractions proved to be different, as well. MF2oua contained significantly higher amounts of saturated fatty acids as compared to MF1oua. The specific activities of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase and lysolecithin acyltransferase were highly enriched in the adherent fraction MF2oua, as compared to MF1oua. The data suggest that by the means of affinity chromatography on ouabain-Sepharose plasma membrane domains of the lymphocyte plasma membrane can be isolated, most probably implicated in the initiation of lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

An analytical approach to the preparation and characterization of subcellular membranes from canine mesenteric arteries 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Subcellular membrane fractions were isolated from dog mesenteric arteries by differential and isopynic sucrose density gradient centrifugations. Isolated membrane fractions were characterized by marker enzyme activities, morphological features and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic patterns. Our results show that the microsomal fraction isolated by conventional differential centrifugation was highly heterogenous and contained substantial amount of plasma membranes which could be further enriched as a light density membrane fraction on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient. The microsomal fraction and its subfractions were vesicular in appearance under electron microscope and were capable of binding and actively transporting Ca2+. The binding of Ca2+ and ATP-supported Ca2+-transport in the presence or absence of oxalate paralleled the distribution of plasma membrane marker enzyme activities suggesting that plasma membranes in vascular smooth muscle may play a major role in handling Ca2+ and thus the control of contractile function. 相似文献

Plasma membranes were detached from ejaculated bull spermatozoa by a brief sonication in a moderately hypotonic medium, and the released plasma membranes were partially purified by differential centrifugation. The resulting fraction was enriched 8- and 15-fold in alkaline phosphatase and 5' nucleotidase activities, respectively, compared with the starting sonicated spermatozoa. This total plasma membrane fraction was separated into two distinct fractions by equilibrium density centrifugation on a continuous linear sucrose gradient. Two peaks of light scattering material were formed at densities of 1.117 and 1.148 g/ml. The denser peak contained most of the protein of the plasma membrane fraction, whereas nearly all the concanavalin A binding activity was found in the lighter peak. The two bands had distinctly different polypeptide compositions when analyzed by SDS PAGE. Polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits against a major integral membrane glycoprotein of each fraction (Mr of 92,000 in the light peak and 98,000 in the dense peak). The two antigens were detected on the surface of intact spermatozoa by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The 92-kD protein (present in the lighter band) was detected only on the plasma membrane of the acrosomal and anterior postacrosomal regions of the head. The 98-kD antigen, present in the heavier band, was localized to the surface of the postacrosomal region of the head, to the principal piece of the tail, and to the connecting piece between the head and tail. The exclusive localization of the 92-kD polypeptide to the surface of the anterior portion of the head was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. These data show that the two fractions isolated on the sucrose gradient originate from different regions of the sperm cell plasma membrane. 相似文献

Two glycoproteins of 99 kDa and 77 kDa which exhibit intense binding to wheat germ agglutinin have been purified from the whorls of membrane produced by oligodendroglia in culture. The whorls of membrane were isolated by gradient centrifugation from purified bovine oligodendroglia maintained in culture. The two glycoproteins were solubilized from the membranes using a non-ionic detergent and purified by Sephadex LH-60 chromatography, wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography, and SDS-polyacrylamide pore gradient gel electrophoresis. HPLC peptide mapping of the 99-kDa and 77-kDa glycoproteins revealed structural differences between the two proteins. Peptide mapping suggested that the 99-kDa glycoprotein from the whorls of membrane may be homologous to that from the plasma membranes. The 77-kDa glycoproteins from both sets of membrane may also be structurally related. Lectin binding studies showed that both glycoproteins from the whorls of membrane bound to wheat germ agglutinin, succinylated wheat germ agglutinin, concanavalin A, and lentil lectin, indicating the presence of high mannose and hybrid type oligosaccharide side-chains. 相似文献

Fractions enriched in Golgi membranes were prepared from rat liver by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. These enriched membranes were further subfractionated on the basis of their solubilities in EGTA, 150 mM sodium carbonate, pH 11.5, sodium deoxycholate, Triton X-100, or sodium dodecyl sulfate. This led to isolation of peripheral, luminal, and integral membrane proteins of the Golgi-enriched membranes. Luminal and membrane proteins were further purified by wheat germ agglutinin and concanavalin A lectin affinity chromatographies. Some proteins from these lectin columns were resolved by preparative gel electrophoresis and microsequenced. Subsequently, antibodies were produced for two proteins by immunization of either mice or rabbits. Immunofluorescence microscopy suggests that these proteins are confined to Golgi apparatus-like structures. The protocol described is well suited for the study of organelle structure and function. 相似文献

A method has been developed for the rapid isolation of platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) IIb and IIIa. This method produces an excellent yield and does not require the prior isolation of platelet membranes. Outdated platelets were washed and solubilized in Triton X-100. Concanavalin A affinity chromatography was used to purify a platelet glycoprotein fraction. The concanavalin A-retained glycoproteins were eluted and adsorbed with a heparin-Sepharose column to remove a major contaminant, thrombospondin. Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration was used as the final purification step to remove most fibrinogen and low-molecular-weight contaminants. Wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography was used to completely remove trace amounts of fibrinogen. The purified GP IIb and GP IIIa were analyzed by sucrose gradient sedimentation and found to consist of heterodimer complexes. 相似文献

Affinity chromatography was used to determine the heterogeneity and orientation of plasma membrane vesicles isolated from LM fibroblasts subjected to Dounce homogenization. Two plasma membrane subfractions were obtained by Con A-Sepharose affinity chromatography of LM fibroblast plasma membranes prepared by Dounce homogenization. The desmosterol-phospholipid molar ratio, the phospholipid composition, and the phospholipid fatty acid composition were almost identical between the two fractions. However, the lipid to protein ratio was almost 2-fold greater in the nonadherent fraction A. The binding of fluorescein-concanavalin A was the same in both fractions indicating a right-side-out orientation of the vesicles. Similarly the asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine in both membrane fractions was the same. In contrast, sialic acid content, 5′-nucleotidase activity, and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity were 47%, 3.7-fold, and 2.5-fold greater, respectively, in the nonadherent, lipid-rich fraction A. Structural properties of the two membrane fractions determined by fluorescence polarization and Arrhenius plots of trans-parinaric acid fluorescence were similar. These results indicate that concanavalin-A affinity chromatography separates two membrane fractions differing in sialic acid content, lipid content, and enzyme profile but having the same right-side-out orientation. 相似文献

Insulin receptors were purified from human placental microsomal membranes by solubilisation with Triton X-100 followed by Sepharose 6B chromatography, phosphate gradient elution from hydroxyapatite and affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose. 2000-fold purification was achieved with 63% overall recovery. The purified receptor gave a single band on 3.75% polyacrylamide (0.1% Triton X-100) gel electrophoresis. On sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis there was a major band at 75,000 and a minor band at 80,000 daltons. The purified receptor rechromatographed on Sepharose 6B with an apparent molecular weight of 300,000. 相似文献

Extraordinarily high concentrations of Zn (300-500 microg/[g fresh tissue]) are often found in the digestive tract tissue of common carp Cyprinus carpio, and most of the Zn is bound to membrane protein located on plasma membranes that are attached to basal laminae. To isolate the Zn-binding protein, the basolateral plasma membranes were separated from the extracellular matrix by treating the nuclei/cell debris fraction of the tissue with collagenase type IV and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide. The Zn-binding protein was isolated from the separated plasma membranes by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and affinity chromatography on laminin-Sepharose. A 43 kDa protein was bound by the laminin-Sepharose and specifically eluted with tirofiban (a mimic of RGD). Affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin and concanavalin A-Sepharose showed that the 43 kDa protein is a glycoprotein. The 43 kDa protein was labelled with 65Zn and became incorporated into liposomes at a high efficiency. Liposomes containing this protein were bound to laminin-Sepharose or reconstituted basement membrane. We propose that the Zn-binding protein is a cell surface receptor involved in the adhesion of cells to laminin. 相似文献

Lectin-binding domains on laminin 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Chicken erythrocytes have been found to have at least two kinds of phospholipase A2. The first is a soluble enzyme from the cytosole fraction and has no calcium sensitivity. The second can be extracted from the plasma membrane fraction with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100. In this study the membrane-bound enzyme was partially purified by affinity chromatography on phosphatidylcholine-Sepharose, and its specific activity was increased 1100-fold compared with that of the cell homogenate without nuclei. It has an optimum pH of 8.5 and required calcium for maximum activity. It showed the specificity for both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, but reacted preferentially on the former substrate. Analysis by concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography revealed that the membrane-bound phospholipase A2 was retained on the resin and could be eluted specifically with a haptenic sugar, methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. The enzyme seems to be either a concanavalin A-binding glycoprotein or a part of a complex with certain concanavalin A-binding glycoproteins. 相似文献

Chick brain synaptosomes were fractionated by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose. Three subfractions were obtained. One, designated UBF, was not bound to the affinity adsorbent and represented 36% of the total synaptosomal protein treated with the beads. A second fraction, designated BF1, adhered to concanavalin A-Sepharose exclusively through its carbohydrate recognition site. The third fraction, called BF2, bound to the beads through hydrophobic interactions and represented about 20% of the total synaptosomal protein. About 20% of the total synaptosomal protein was found to be retarded on three ligand-less gels, with potential for only hydrophobic interactions. This binding can be reversed, however, by ethylene glycol, a result indicating hydrophobic binding sites on the synaptosomes. Enzyme marker studies and electron microscopy showed differences between UBF, BF1, and BF2, mainly with respect to mitochondrial contamination. Binding studies with [3H]-Con A show the absence of Con A-specific carbohydrates from the surface of UBF or BF2. As expected strong and specific binding between [3H]-Con A and [3H] BF1 was observed. These findings are discussed in relation to a model for the interior working of the synaptosomes. 相似文献

The isolation and subfractionation of plasma membrane from the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A procedure for the isolation and separation of three different subfractions of plasma membrane from the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum is described. The cells were disrupted by freeze-thawing in liquid N(2) and plasma membranes were purified by equilibrium centrifugation in a sucrose gradient. The cell surface was labelled with radioactive iodide by using the lactoperoxidase iodination method. Alkaline phosphatase was identified as a plasma-membrane marker by its co-distribution with [(125)I]iodide. 5'-Nucleotidase, which has been widely described as a plasma-membrane marker enzyme in mammalian tissues, was not localized to any marked extent in D. discoideum plasma membrane. The isolated plasma membranes showed a 24-fold enrichment of alkaline phosphatase specific activity relative to the homogenate and a yield of 50% of the total plasma membranes. Determination of succinate dehydrogenase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities indicated that the preparation contained 2% of the total mitochondria and 3% of the endoplasmic reticulum. When the plasma-membrane preparation was further disrupted in a tight-fitting homogenizer, three plasma-membrane subfractions of different densities were obtained by isopycnic centrifugation. The enrichment of alkaline phosphatase was greatest in the subfraction with the lowest density. This fraction was enriched 36-fold relative to the homogenate and contained 19% of the total alkaline phosphatase activity but only 0.08% of the succinate dehydrogenase activity and 0.34% of the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Electron microscopy of this fraction showed it to consist of smooth membrane vesicles with no recognizable contaminants. 相似文献

Affinity chromatography, a separation technique which makes use of biospecific properties, is well established for the separation of molecules in solution. We applied this method to the subfractionation of biomembranes. Using a microsomal fraction mainly consisting of plasma membrane from rabbit or calf thymocytes, 20–40% of the protein adhered specifically to concanavalin A-Sepharose, whereas the majority of the membrane vesicles were recovered from the effluent. The adherence involved the binding of Con A to membranes, as addition of the hapten sugar α-methyl-mannoside completely prevented separation. The fractions which bound to Con A-Sepharose could be eluted by combining mechanical forces with the addition of α-methyl-mannoside. All fractions exhibited the same vesicular appearance and were identical with respect to the phospholipid cholesterol ratio. The method proved to be highly reproducible and it offers a possible way for the subfractionation of membranes according to their biospecific structure. 相似文献

Large amounts of injected radiolabeled low density lipoproteins have been found by others to accumulate primarily in the liver and studies in various types of isolated cells, including hepatocytes, have indicated the presence of specific cell membrane recognition sites for lipoproteins. In the present studies, the high affinity binding of radiolabeled low density lipoproteins ([125I]LDL, d 1.020--1.063 g/mL) was measured in the major subcellular fractions of porcine liver homogenates. The nuclear and mitochondrial fractions were 1.9- and 1.4-fold enriched in binding activity with respect to unfractionated homogenates and contained 15% and 12% of the total binding activity, respectively. The microsomes, which contained most of the plasma membranes and endoplasmic reticulum, were approximately 4-fold enriched in binding and contained 73% of the binding activity. Microsomal subfractions obtained by differential homogenization and centrifugation procedures were 5.6--7.0-fold enriched in LDL binding and contained 54--58% of the homogenate binding activity. They were separated by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation into fractions which contained "light" and "heavy" plasma membranes and endoplasmic reticulum. The heavy membrane fraction was 2--4 fold in binding with respect to the parent microsomes (16--22 fold with respect to the homogenate). There was no enrichment of binding activity in the other two fractions. Two plasma membrane "marker" enzymes, nucleotide pyrophosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase, were also followed. Of the two, binding in the sucrose density gradient subfractions most closely followed nucleotide pyrophosphatase, which was also most highly enriched (3.2--3.3-fold) in the heavy membrane fraction, but did not follow it exactly. The enzyme was 2-fold richer in the light membranes than in the parent microsomes, though the light membrane binding activity was only 0.4--1.4 times that of the parent microsomes. High affinity binding was time and temperature dependent, saturable, and inhibited by unlabeled low density lipoproteins but not by unrelated proteins. Binding was stimulated 2--3 fold Ca2+, was not affected by treatment with Pronase or trypsin and was inhibited by low concentrations of phospholipids and high density lipoproteins (HDL). Heparin-Mn2+ treatment of HDL did not affect its ability to inhibit [125I] LDL binding. The LDL recognition site was distinct from the liver membrane asialoglycoprotein receptor; LDL binding was not inhibited by desialidated fetuin. We conclude that porcine liver contains a high affinity binding site that recognizes features common to both pig low density and high density lipoproteins. Further studies may elucidate the significance of this binding site in lipoprotein metabolism. 相似文献

A new method for the purification of bovine plasma amine oxidase is described. The enzyme is purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and by affinity chromatography performed with AH-Sepharose 4B and concanavalin A-Sepharose. Three activity peaks were separated, all showing similar properties. Specific activity is the highest described for this enzyme. The enzyme appears to contain 2 copper atoms and 1 carbonyl group/molecule. 相似文献

Highly purified plasma membranes of bovine thyroid were obtained by differential pelleting followed by discontinuous gradient centrifugation in a swing-out rotor. Subfractions of plasma membranes were prepared by affinity chromatography on Con A-Sepharose. The final membrane fractions were enriched 25-30-fold over homogenate in 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase and displayed a protein to phospholipid ratio of 1.67 and a cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio of 0.55. The phospholipid composition did not deviate appreciably from that of whole tissue except for the higher sphingomyelin level (22.5 vs. 14.0%). The predominant fatty acids were palmitic (16:0), oleic (18:1), stearic (18:0) and linoleic (18:2) acid. The physical state of the membrane was studied by (i) calculation of the lipid structural order parameter SDPH from steady-state fluorescence anisotropy determinations of the hydrophobic probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH); (ii) estimation of the lateral diffusion coefficient of pyrene following excimer formation. These parameters were determined in native thyroid plasma membranes and in reconstituted vesicles, obtained by detergent dialysis from octylglucoside solubilized membrane components. The presence of membrane protein or neutral lipids induced more restraint on the movements of the fluorophores. The lipid order parameter, SDPH was mainly determined by the neutral lipids. Subfractions of plasma membrane enriched in luminal membranes have a slightly lower fluidity (higher SDPH and lower Ddiff values) than subfractions enriched in basolateral membranes. This difference appears to be due to both differences in lipid as well as protein composition. Under physiological conditions, no significant alterations in probe dynamics could be observed upon addition of thyrotropin or cholera toxin, even at micromolar concentrations. 相似文献

The intestinal Na+/glucose cotransporter was isolated from brush border membrane vesicles using a three-step procedure and Na(+)-dependent phlorizin binding as the measure of cotransporter enrichment. The initial step was to treat the Ca2(+)-precipitated brush border membrane vesicles with 0.02% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation which resulted in a 5-fold enrichment of the Na+/glucose cotransporter. The second step was chromatofocusing chromatography over the pH range from pH 7.4 to pH 4.0. This step resulted in an additional 20-fold purification as compared with the SDS-brush border membrane vesicle protein which served as the starting material. The final step was affinity chromatography on con A-Sepharose which resulted in a 5-fold enrichment of the chromatofocused protein. The glycoprotein fraction from the concanavalin A column reconstituted into phosphatidyl choline: cholesterol liposomes demonstrated Na(+)-dependent, phlorizin-sensitive, and osmotic strength-sensitive glucose uptake. This fraction consisted of a single 75-kDa polypeptide on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis upon staining with silver. On the basis of these criteria it appears that a protocol for the isolation of the Na+/glucose cotransporter has been developed. 相似文献
