Treatment with neuraminidase decreased the activity of Na+,K+-activated Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase in plasma membranes isolated from experimental granulation tissue but not that of 5'-nucleotidase or leucine-beta-naphthylamidase. A temporary lowering of the pH of the plasma membrane suspension to 2-3 inactivated all three enzymes, which remained inactive after the pH had been readjusted to 7.4. Addition of dextran preparations to the membrane suspension decreased the activity of adenosine triphosphatase. Ethanol (0.4%) had a similar effect. These marker enzymes of plasma membranes were not affected by additions of hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, protein polysaccharide or soluble collagen. Serotonin stimulated the adenosine triphosphatase activity slightly. About 10-20% of the protein in the plasma membrane preparation was extracted with EDTA. This "fuzzy coat" fraction yielded a distinct gel-electrophoretic protein pattern. Hyaluronidase was not helpful in cleaving this surface layer from the plasma membranes.

The specificity of lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination for the proteins of the hepatoma tissue culture cell plasma membrane was examined by histochemical, biochemical, and cell fractionation techniques. Light microscope autoradiography of sectioned cells shows the incorporated label to be localized primarily at the periphery of the cell. Most of this label can be released from the cell by trypsin but not by collagenase or hyaluronidase. The label is recovered from the cells as either monoiodotyrosine or diiodotyrosine after hydrolysis of cell extracts with a mixture of proteolytic enzymes. The label co-purifies during cell fractionation with an authentic liver cell plasma membrane marker enzyme, 5'-nucleotidase. Thus, the incorporated iodide is itself a valid marker for those membrane polypeptides having tyrosine residues accessible to the lactoperoxidase. The polypeptide complexity of the purified plasma membrane was examined by high resolution dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At least 50 polypeptides in the membrane are accessible to iodination. These polypeptides probably represent the bulk of the protein mass of the membrane and iodinating them does not affect cell viability, growth rate, or cell function. Labeling experiments with fucose and glucosamine show that at least nine of the iodinated peptides may be glycoproteins.

The influence of the mode of preparation upon some of the characteristics of white adipose tissue plasma membranes and microsomes has been reported. Plasma membrane fractions prepared from mitochondrial pellet were shown to have higher specific activities of (Mg2+ + Na+ + K+)-ATPase than plasma membranes originating in crude microsomes. Isolation of fat cells by collagenase treatment was found to result in a decrease in specific activity of the plasma membrane enzymes; in plasma membranes prepared from isolated fat cells, the specific activity values obtained for (Mg2+ + Na+ +k+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase were only 42% and 6.3% respectively of those obtained in plasma membranes prepared from whole adipose tissue. Purification of whole adipose tissue crude microsomes by hypotonic treatment caused extensive solubilization of the endoplasmic reticulum marker enzymes, NADH oxidase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase. The lability of endoplasmic reticulum marker enzymes, however, was found to be greatly diminished in the preparations from isolated fat cells. The possibility that NADH oxidase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activities found in the plasma membranes are microsomal enzymes adsorbed by the plasma membranes is discussed. The peptide patterns as well as the NADH oxidase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity patterns of plasma membranes and purified microsomes were compared by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate or Triton X-100 polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

A survey of Salmonella typhimurium enzymes possessing phosphatase or phosphodiesterase activity was made using several different growth conditions. These studies revealed the presence of three major enzymes, all of which were subsequently purified: a cyclic 2' ,3'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.d), an acid hexose phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), and a nonspecific acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). A fourth enzyme hydrolyzed bis-(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate but none of the other substrates tested. No evidence was found for the existence of an alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) or a specific 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) in S. typhimurium LT2. All three phosphatases could be measured efficiently in intact cells, which suggested a periplasmic location; however, they were not readily released by osmotic shock procedures. The nonspecific acid phosphatase, which was purified to apparent homogeneity, yielded a single polypeptide band on both sodium dodecyl sulfate and acidic urea gel electrophoretic systems.

The lumenal plasma membrane has been isolated from transitional epithelial cells (urothelium) lining the urinary bladder in sheep by a modified technique involving treatment with hypotonic thioglycolate. The isolated membranes, like those in situ, are distinguished morphologically by arrays of hexagonal particles (in plague regions) separated by smooth interplaque regions. These plaque regions, specifically, can be isolated from the lumenal plasma membrane. Of the proteins constituting the lumenal plasma membrane, five were found to characterize the plaque regions and, in particular, the 33,000-dalton species appears to be most heavily concentrated in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel pattern of the isolated plaque regions. Lipid analyses showed that there are approximately 0.93 mg of phospholipid and 0.27 mg of cholesterol for each milligram of protein, giving a value of 55% lipids and 45% proteins for the composition of the lumenal plasma membrane. The total sialic acid content was measured to be approximately 0.038 micronmol/mg protein for the plasma membrane. Several plasma membrane marker enzymes were found to be associated with the lumenal plasma membrane fraction, but only the 5'-nucleotidase activity was found to be further enriched in the plaque region fraction. Amino acid analysis of the intrinsic proteins of the plaques indicated a polarity index of 45%.

Inactivation of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase caused by periodate-oxidized GMP is irreversible, even under the conditions of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and during affinity chromatography on GMP-Sepharose. Partial binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme protein can be demonstrated on dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis: The substrate, phosphoribosyl diphosphate in the presence of Mg2, and the product GMP protect the enzyme against inactivation. Periodate-oxidized GMP, AMP and oxidized purine nucleosides do not influence ribosephosphate pyrophosphokinase, 5'-nucleotidase, purine-nucleoside phosphorylase and guanylate kinase. A variety of other purine nucleosides and nucleotides, tested in their periodateoxidized form, do not lead to a compound comparable or superior to oxidized GMP in its effect on hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase. In an erythrocyte system it is clearly demonstrated that oxidized GMP cannot act across an intact cell membrane.

D-Galactosamine administration to rats (400 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection induced biochemical alterations in liver plasma membranes. Alterations were studied 4, 16 and 24 h after D-galactosamine injection. Plasma membrane 5'-mononucleotidase activity decreased to 40% of control values. Carbohydrate composition was significantly changed. After 24 h D-galactosamine administration, the diminution in plasma membrane sialic acids and hexoses reached 30% of control values. As detected by SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, high molecular weight glycoproteins of D-galactosamine-treated plasma membranes were modified. Moreover, the incorporation of [35S]-sulfate into membrane glycoproteins decreased after D-galactosamine administration (40--60% of control). The present results show that biochemical alterations in rat liver plasma membranes appear soon after D-galactosamine injection. Marked changes are observed in cell surface glycoproteins, especially in sialoglycoproteins and sulfated glycoproteins.

Studies have been carried out of the structural state of plasma membranes of epididimal fat cells from rats at 5--40 degrees C. The temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity bound ANS and the rate of solubilization by 0.2% sodium dodecyl sulfate have shown sharp changes at 19--24 degrees C. At the same temperature intervals there was a break in the Arrhenius curve for activity of the membrane 5'-nucleotidase. ANS fluorescence and light scattering of liposomes from membrane lipids have revealed discontinuities at 21 degrees and 29--30 degrees C. The data are interpreted as thermal rearrangements initiated in the lipid membrane phase.

Homogenization of guinea pig liver in isotonic sucrose solution followed by the separation of the subcellular fractions by differential centrifugation releases the liver L-asparaginase (L-asparagine amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.1) activity into the supernatant fraction. Electron micrographs of the liver L-asparaginase-antibody complexes, precipitated from the clear supernatant phase by addition of L-asparaginase-specific antiserum, show membrane-liek structures and some amorphous material. The attachment of L-asparaginase to the membrane-like structures is indicated by the ferritin-labeled antibody technique. The immunoprecipitates possess low activities of 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and acid phosphatase. This observation suggests that L-asparaginase found in the liver supernatant fraction is associated with cytomembrane components. Analysis of guinae pig serum L-asparaginase-antibody complexes is polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate gives three distinct protein bands. These bands correspond to heavy and light chains of rabbit immunoglobulins and the L-asparaginase subunits. Analysis of the liver L-asparaginase-antibody complexes by the above procedure shows similar but more diffuse protein bands.

Pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency appears to be an important cause of hemolytic anemia associated with basophilic stippling of the red cells. A new radiometric method for the assay of this enzyme has been developed. In this technique, 14C-CMP serves as substrate. The CMP which is not dephosphorylated to cytidine is bound to the barium sulfate precipitate which forms in the deproteinization process. The cytidine remains in solution and is counted. The method is simple and reproducible and can be carried out on large numbers of samples. Two patients with pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency have been detected by means of this technique.
