| Abstract: | A complex of polyphosphatase with E. coli membranes has been isolated and studied. It is shown by gel-filtration through G-200 Sephadex and centrifugation in sucrose concentration gradient that about 5% of polyphosphatase total content in cells is bound with the heterogenous fraction containing smooth membranes and the ribosome-membrane complex. On the basis of the data obtained it is suggested that the formation of a complex of polyphosphatase with membranes is a stage of synthesis and secretion of this enzyme to protoplasm. |
