The turnover of the plasma membrane proteins of hepatoma tissue culture cells was examined by three different methods--loss of polypeptides labeled in situ by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, loss of membrane polypeptides labeled with amino acid precursors, and loss from the membrane of fucose-labeled polypeptides. In both logarithmically growing and density-inhibited cells the proteins of the membrane are degraded with a half-life of about 100 hours. This is longer than the half-life of total cell protein, 50 to 60 hours, and longer than the doubling time of the cells, about 30 hours. Similar values for the rate of degradation of the membrane proteins were obtained by each of the three techniques. The same fucose-labeled polypeptides are present in the microsomal and the plasma membrane fractions of hepatoma tissue culture cells as analyzed by electrophoresis in dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels. But the fucose-labeled polypeptides were lost from the microsomal fraction at a faster rate than from the plasma membrane. Autoradiographic and double labeling techniques using 125I and 131I, or [3H]leucine and [14C]leucine were used to measure the relative rates of degradation of the proteins in the plasma membrane. All of the leucine-labeled polypeptides and the iodinated polypeptides had similar rates of degradation. These results support a model for the biogenesis of the plasma membrane in which the proteins are incorporated and removed in large structural units.

At least three groups of polypeptides of the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria have been shown to be exposed to the exterior surface by several techniques: lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of mitochondria and inner membrane/matrix vesicles (mitoplasts), reaction of mitochondria and mitoplasts with the membrane-impermeable diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid, and controlled proteolysis of mitoplasts. These classes of proteins, separated by dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, have polypeptide molecular weights of 73,000, 31,000, and 26,000. In addition, four other groups have been shown to be exposed to the exterior surface by at least one of these techniques: these components have polypeptide molecular weights of 130,000, 87,000, 16,000, and 10,500. A class of proteins, which makes up 50 to 60% of the total mitochondrial protein and which can be easily extracted from mitoplasts by freeze-thaw fractionation or other procedures designed to separate "matrix" protein from "membrane" protein, is shown not to be exposed to the outer surface of the inner membrane by these techniques. This class of proteins contains polypeptides of various molecular weights and includes the major 165,000 molecular weight polypeptide, identified with carbamyl phosphate synthetase.

A double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) for rat apolipoprotein A-I is reported. The ApoA-I isolated from delipidated HDL by gel filtration yielded a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and its amino acid composition resembled that reported by others. ApoA-I was iodinated by lactoperoxidase and the resulting 125I-apoA-I was purified by gel filtration. Up to 93% of 125I-apoA-I was precipitable by antibody and greater than 99% of bound 125I-apoA-I was displaced by "cold" apoA-I. Other rat lopoproteins and apolipoproteins did not react in this system. Human plasma were also not reactive, nor were dog, goat, and sheep plasmas.

We have studied the plasma membranes of an SV40-transformed 3T3 cell line temperature sensitive for the transformed growth phenotype (ts H6-15 cells), and have found that they vary little as a function of temperature of cultivation. Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed on plasma membranes prepared from ts H6-15 cells cultured at the permissive (32 degrees C) and non-permissive (39 degrees C) temperatures and radioactively-labelled in several ways. No significant differences were seen when the electrophoretic patterns of polypeptides of the plasma membranes of ts H6-15 cells, grown through 3-4 generations in medium containing radioactive leucine (32 degrees C and 39 degrees C temperatures) were compared. Plasma membranes derived from cells similarly grown in medium with radioactive glucosamine indicated that extensive alterations in the intrinsic glycopeptides occurred in association with alteration in growth phenotype. A shift towards decreased synthesis of large molecular weight (congruent to 100 000-160 000) glycopeptides occurred in cells grown at the temperature of non-transformed growth (39 degrees C). A decrease in amount of a 120 000 molecular weight glycopeptide at 39 degrees C was the most prominent of these alterations. We have studied the surface exposure of polypeptides and glycopeptides of intact cells grown at 32 and 39 degrees C, using lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, NaBH4 reduction of galactose oxidase-treated cells, and metabolic-labelling with glucosamine of trypsin-sensitive molecules. We found no major qualitative differences between whole cell extracts or between plasma membrane preparations of cells cultivated at the permissive and non-permissive temperatures. Of special interest was the observation that the formation and surface exposure of a trypsin-sensitive, 240 000 molecular weight polypeptide appeared not to be ts in ts H6-15 cells. The significance of these observations will be discussed.

The nature of the TSH receptor in adenoma and carcinoma of the thyroid gland was studied using a radioreceptor assay technique. A membrane fraction of tissue homogenate was obtained by discontinuous sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, and 125I-TSH, labelled by a lactoperoxidase method, was purified with a receptor adsorption method. Both the capacities and the association constants of high affinity receptors (4 x 10(9) M-1) and of low affinity receptors (0.073 x 10(9) M-1) observed in the normal thyroid were almost identical to those of the thyroid of Graves' disease and those of thyroid adenoma. Although the two papillary carcinomas examined were found to have two kinds of TSH receptors, one of the carcinomas showed decreased association constants for both high affinity and low affinity receptors.

The parathyrin receptor in renal cortex has been investigated by studying the binding of 125I-labelled parathyrin, or of unlabelled parathyrin detected with 125I-labelled antibodies, to a partially purified plasma membrane fraction. The kinetics of hormone uptake demonstrated a biphasic response in both systems at 22 degrees C but this phenomenon was not detectable at 37 degrees C. Specific displacement of lactoperoxidase labelled 125I-labelled parathyrin occurred with 8 ng unlabelled bovine parathyrin. The apparent affinity constant was 2.3-10(8) M(-1) and the apparent binding capacity of the membranes 1.25 pmol/mg protein. Using the labelled antibody technique the receptor showed maximal binding at pH 7.0-7.5. As little as 80 pg bovine parathyrin produced a significant increase in binding of labelled anti-bovine parathyrin antibody and saturation of binding sites was demonstrated at 2.5 pmol/mg protein. Oxidized hormone showed undetectable binding. Treatment of membranes with phospholipases A or D, or Trypsin greatly reduced subsequent hormone binding. Prior incubation of membranes with 1-34 synthetic parathyrin decreased the binding of intact hormone whereas gastrin, insulin and glucagon had no effect. Growth hormone and calcitonin slightly increased parathyrin binding.

We have studied the surface proteins of normal and transformed chick cells using four-labelling techniques with different specificities, (a) lactoperoxidase catalysed iodination (b) galactose oxidase/B3H4 (c) pyridoxal phosphate/B3H4 and (d) periodate/B3H4. All methods labelled a large external transformation-sensitive (LETS) protein, in agreement with previous studies. In addition, using galactose oxidase and periodate labelling techniques, we present evidence which suggests that the transformed cell surface glycoproteins are more sialylated. The LETS protein was also labelled with (14C) glucosamine and after trypsinization a small band of identical molecular weight to LETS remained, possibly representing an internal pool of the protein. In contrast LETS protein labelled with (3H) fucose was completely removed by trypsin, suggesting that the internal pool of the protein is incompletely glycosylated. Evidence is also presented to show that although the level of the protein is drastically reduced at the transformed cell surface, it is still synthesised and shed into the medium.

Cell membranes from mouse L-cells (L-B82), rat hepatoma (HTC-H1), and three clones of their somatic cell hybrids (07, V4a, and V5) showing different degrees of density-dependent inhibition of growth were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The membrane polypeptides of the hybrid clones were all similar and all showed higher proportions of polypeptides with molecular weights of 56,000 and 45,000 than their parents of their normal counterparts. The major glycoprotein form cell hybrids appeared to be identical with that of rat liver or rat hepatoma cells and different from that of L-cells. One hybrid showed density-dependent inhibition growth; the other two, like both parents, did not. All produced tumors in nude mice, although tumor production by the hybrids was delayed. A large external protein (M.W. 240,000) iodinated by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed reaction was virtually missing in the parents but was present at high levels in all their hybrid clones. Thus, there was a lack of correlation between the presence of this protein, growth control in vitro, and tumorigenicity. Furthermore, no correlation was seen between agglutination of these cells by concanavalin A and tumorigenicity. The factors controlling these membrane properties thus are independent of density-dependent inhibition of growth and of those controlling the expression of cancer.

Only 5 to 10% of the apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) of intact high density lipoprotein (HDL) is detectable by radioimmunoassay. In addition, when isolated ApoA-I is recombined with lipids in vitro, its immunologic reactivity is decreased by 30 to 95%. Thus, ApoA-I is less reactive immunologically in the presence of lipids. Our aim was to ascertain whether the COOH- or NH2-terminal regions of ApoA-I were equally reactive in intact HDL2. CNBr fragments of ApoA-I were produced by the method of Baker et al. (Baker, H.N., Jackson, R.L., and Gotto, A.M. (1973) Biochemistry 12, 3866-3871) and iodinated with lactoperoxidase. Double-antibody radioimmunoassays were set up using anti ApoA-I antisera and 125I-CNBr I (COOH-terminal region) or 125I-CNBr II (NH2-terminal). Both labels were bound by the antisera. Affinity columns were prepared by binding CNBr I or CNBr II to Sepharose 4B. Antibodies specific against CNBr I or CNBr II were isolated by means of these columns, suggesting that ApoA-I had at least two antigenic sites. In other assays using labeled fragments and anti ApoA-I antisera, 125I-CNBr I was displaced by CNBr I, ApoA-I , and HDL2 but not CNBr II. Conversely, 125I-CNBr II was displaced by CNBr II, ApoA-I, and HDL2 but not by CNBr I. Thus the assays were region-specific. The reactivities of isolated ApoA-I and the ApoA-I in intact HDL2-ApoA-I) were compared in these assays. On a molar basis, HDL2-ApoA-I was consistently more reactive (2- to 5-fold) in the 125I-CNBr I than in the 125I-CNBr II assays. The findings suggest (a) that the two terminal regions of ApoA-I are immunologically distinct, (b) that the two regions can be assayed independently of each other in intact HDL2, and (c) that the COOH-terminal region is more reactive immunologically than is the NH2-terminal. The results are compatible with a more "exposed" position for the COOH-terminal region on the surface of HDL2.

Preparations of NADH-ubiquinone reductase from bovine heart mitochondria (Complex I) were shown to contain at least 16 polypeptides by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. High-molecular-weight soluble NADH dehydrogenase prepared from Triton X-100 extracts of submitochondrial particles [Baugh & King (1972) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 49, 1165-1173] was similar to Complex I in its polypeptide composition. 3. Solubilization of Complex I by phospholipase A treatment and subsequent sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation did not alter the polypeptide composition. 4. Lysophosphatidylcholine treatment of Complex I caused some selective solubilization of a polypeptide of mol.wt. 33000 previosuly postulated to be the transmembrane component of Complex I in the mitochondrial membrane [Ragan (1975) in Energy Transducing Membranes: Structure, Function and Reconstitution (Bennun, Bacila & Najjar, eds.), Junk, The Hague, in the press]. 5. Chaotropic resolution of Complex I caused solubilization of polypeptides of molecular weights 75000, 53000, 29000, 26000 and 15500 and traces of others in the 10000-20000-mol.wt.range. 6. The major components of the iron-protein fraction from chaotropic resolution had molecular weights of 75000, 53000 and 29000, whereas the flavoprotein contained polypeptides of molecular weights 53000 and 26000 in a 1:1 molar ratio. 7. Iodination of Complex I by lactoperoxidase indicated that the water-soluble polypeptides released by chaotropic resolution, in particular those of the flavoprotein fraction, were largely buried in the intact Complex. 8. The polypeptides of molecular weights 75000, 53000, 42000, 39000, 33000, 29000 and 26000 were present in 1:2:1:1:1:1:1 molar proportions. The two subunits of molecular weight 53000 are probably non-identical.
