猪心线粒体F_o的纯化、重建及其质子转运功能

比较了猪心线粒体FoF1-ATPase膜部分Fo的四种纯化方法 .结果表明,用NaBr从亚线粒体除去FoF1-ATPase的水溶性部分F1-ATPase后,再以C HAPS增溶,并经蔗糖梯度离心,可获得高纯度的Fo.SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳鉴定表明, 纯化的Fo含有b、OSCP（寡霉素敏感授予蛋白）、d、a、e、F6、IF1、A6L和c等9种亚 基.用去污剂稀释法将纯化的Fo在脂质体上重建后,重建Fo表现较高的被动转运质子活 性. 这为在体外深入研究Fo的活性、构象与膜脂的关系,以及Fo与F1-ATPase的组装等提 供了很好的实验模型.     

The distribution of phospholipids on the mitochondrial inner membrane from the brains of goldfish acclimated at 5 and 30°C

1. 1.|The instantaneous addition of phospholipase C to goldfish brain inner mitochondrial vesicles resulted in a partial loss of ferricyanide reduction. The retained activity rose when the phospholipase concentration and incubation period were increased.

2. 2.|No impairment of ferricyanide reduction was observed when Antimycin A-treated inner membrane vesicles were incubated with the phospholipase at 0.05 and 0.2 U mg⁻¹ to 20 min. However, higher concentrations of the hydrolytic enzyme caused a considerable elevation in reduction and is attributed to a deterioration in vesicular integrity.

3. 3.|The hydrolysis of phospholipids from the inner membrane revealed that the phospholipase, at concentrations above 0.2 U mg⁻¹ (minimum of 10 min incubation), resulted in removal of over 50% lipid phosphate. It was suggested that the phospholipase, at such levels, is accessible to the interior of the vesicles.

4. 4.|With the exception of cardiolipin and phosphatidyl inositol, the phospholipase was observed to be non-specific to the phospholipids from mitochondrial inner membrane treated with Triton X-100.

5. 5.|The phospholipids are asymmetrically arranged across the inner membrane and their distribution is dependent on acclimation temperature.

6. 6.|It is suggested that the compositional redistribution of the phospholipids, when acclimation temperature was changed, is necessary to stabilize the bilayer conformation of the membrane in concurrence with maintaining fluidity and functional capacity.
