Activity of Na+, K+-ATP- ase and 5'-nucleotidase, the lipid composition of the liver plasmic membranes with toxic and alimentary-alcohol fat dystrophy were studied on rats exposed to water-soluble sodium levorin. It was found that the above forms of the liver fat dystrophy did not change the activity of the enzymes in the membranes but caused significant shifts in the composition of the membrane lipids. The shifts were evident from an increased level of phospholipids in the plasmic membranes. Administration of levorin at the very beginning of the development of both the toxic and the alimentary-alcohol liver fat dystrophy aggravated the increase in the phospholipid level in the membranes. It was supposed that the increase in the phospholipid level due to levorin in the membranes of the liver with fat dystrophy was one of the mechanisms of the drug therapeutic effect in case of such pathology type. Levorin increased the amount of phospholipids in the dystrophic membranes and thus changed the membrane permeability resulting in decreased accumulation of neutral lipids in the hepacytes and subsequently in decreased levels of the liver fat dystrophy.

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.

1. Arrhenius plots of the glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase, 5'-nucleotidase, (Na+ + K+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activities of control hamster liver plasma membranes exhibited two break points at around 25 and 13 degrees C, whereas Arrhenius plots of their activities in hibernating hamster liver plasma membranes exhibited two break points at around 25 and 4 degrees C. 2. A single break occurring between 25 and 26 degrees C was observed in Arrhenius plots of the activities of fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase, basal adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase of liver plasma membranes from both control and hibernating animals. 3. Arrhenius plots of phosphodiesterase I activity showed a single break at 13 degrees C for membranes from control animals, and a single break at around 4 degrees C for liver plasma membranes from hibernating animals. 4. The temperature at which break points occurred in Arrhenius plots of glucagon- and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were decreased by about 7--8 degrees C by addition of 40 mm-benzyl alcohol to the assays. 5. Discontinuities in the Arrhenius plots of 4-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonic acid fluorescence occurred at around 24 and 13 degrees C for liver plasma membranes from control animals, and at around 25 and 4 degrees C for membranes from hibernating animals. 6. We suggest that in hamster liver plasma membranes from control animals a lipid phase separation occurs at around 25 degrees C in the inner half of the bilayer and at around 13 degrees C in the outer half of the bilayer. On hibernation a change in bilayer asymmetry occurs, which is expressed by a decrease in the temperature at which the lipid phase separation occurs in the outer half of the bilayer to around 4 degrees C. The assumption made is that enzymes expressing both lipid phase separations penetrate both halves of the bilayer, whereas those experiencing a single break penetrate one half of the bilayer only.

Plasma membrane proteins and glycoproteins have been isolated from Chinese hamster cells of the spontaneously transformed DC-3F parental cell line and the DC-3F/AD X line with a high level of acquired resistance to actinomycin D. Plasma membrane preparations from both cell lines band at 1.16 g/ml after isopycnic centrifugation. We present evidence to indicate differences in the leucylpeptide backbones of the antibiotic-sensitive cells and the drug-resistant DC-3F/AD X cells. In addition, there are differences in the plasma membrane glycopeptides of the two cell lines as revealed by sodium dodecyl gel electrophoresis. Drug-resistant cells synthesize a surface glycopeptide which is much larger than the major one present on the drug-sensitive cells. Both of these cell lines are devoid of 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase activities. The role of plasma membrane protein differences in drug-resistant cells is discussed.

Methods have been developed for the isolation on a semi-micro scale of a plasma membrane-enriched fraction from rat islets of Langerhans. An important feature of these experiments is the use of 125I-labeled wheat germ agglutinin as a specific probe for plasma membrane-containing fractions. The partly purified plasma membrane fraction had a density in sucrose of about 1.10 and was enriched in the activities of 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, sodium-potassium, and magnesium-dependent ATPase and adenylate cyclase. It contained only very low levels of acid phosphatase, cytochrome c oxidase, insulin, and RNA. Further purification was hampered by the relatively small amounts of fresh plasma membrane material that could be obtained from 16-24 rats in each experiment. When islets were prelabeled with radioactive fucose, the plasma membrane-enriched fraction contained radioactivity at a four- to fivefold higher specific acivity than the whole islet homogenate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of plasma membrane-enriched fractions pooled from several experiments revealed a distinctive pattern of protein bands as compared with other less pure fractions. With respect to rapidity, apparent specificity, and easy reversibility of the labeling of the plasma membrane fraction, 125I-wheat germ agglutinin provides a highly useful tool for the detection of microgram quantities of plasma membrane components which should be applicable to many other systems as well.

1. Free and membrane-bound mouse liver polyribosomes were separated by prolonged density-gradient centrifugation of the post-mitochondrial supernatant. RNA was extracted from free and membrane-bound polyribosomes and mRNA purified by oligo(dT)-cellulose column chromatography. 2. Antisera against purified mouse liver plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase and moust albumin were prepared and characterized. 3. Microinjection of equivalent amounts of mRNA from free and membrane-bound liver polyribosomes into Xenopus laevis oocytes indicated by immuno precipitation and sodium dodecylsulphate gel electrophoresis a higher proportion of mRNA coding for 5'-nucleotidase and serum albumin in membrane-bound polyribosomes than free polyribosomes. 4. Although small, significant amounts of serum albumin and 5'-nucleotidase were also coded for by mRNA purified from free polyribosomes. The results suggest that in vivo, mRNA in mouse liver membrane-bound polyribosomes codes for the synthesis of 17 times more 5'-nucleotidase than does the mRNA in free polyribosomes.

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.

Two subfractions of bovine thyroid plasma membranes, light membranes (L-membranes) and heavy membranes (H-membranes), were obtained by a discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation of plasma membranes. Electron microscopy of the plasma membrane and its subfractions showed that the H-membranes were very similar to the plasma membrane fraction, both contained junctional complexes, long membrane sheets, and vesicles. In contrast, the L-membranes consisted mainly of short membrane sheets and vesicles, and only a few junctional complexes. The H-membranes had greater adenylate cyclase activity which responded to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) while this hormone had very little effect on the enzyme activity in the L-membranes. Despite the marked difference in TSH stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in the H- and L-membrane fractions, specific binding of 125I-TSH was similar in both fractions. The L-membranes had higher specific activities of 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+ATPase while (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase activities were similar in the two subfractions. Protein kinase activity of H-membranes was not significantly stimulated by exogenous cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP). Plasma membranes and H-membranes contained a substrate capable of being phosphorylated. Such phosphorylation was slightly increased by addition of soluble protein kinase. The phosphorylation of exogenous histone by protein kinase of plasma membranes and H-membranes was augmented by cAMP. In contrast, L-membranes had very little protein kinase activity even when exogenous histone was added. They were not a very good substrate for cytosolic protein kinase.

Glycerol (50%, w/w) was found to cause blistering of chick primary myoblast and fibroblast plasma membranes and extensive blistering of 5--6-day-old-myotube plasma plasma membranes in tissue culture. The tips of myoblasts and fibroblasts appeared to be the most sensitive portion of the plasma membrane to the blistering effect of glycerol. The glycerol-induced blistering of myotubes was reduced and delayed by brief EDTA pretreatment. Glycerol treatment (50, 15 and 8% sequentially) of myotubes was used to remove plasma membrane blisters and a plasma membrane-enriched fraction was isolated from these blisters using a modified Dextran T500-polyethylene-glycol 6000 aqueous two-phase polymer system. This fraction was found to be enriched 4.1-fold for 5'-nucleotidase activity, but not for other putative plasma membrane markers, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity or alpha-[125I]bungarotoxin binding material. Autoradiographs of alpha-[125I]bungarotoxin, glycerol-treated (50%, w/w) myotubes showed the plasma membrane blisters to be devoid of reduced silver grains. 5'-Nucleotidase was shown to be an ectoenzyme on myoblasts and 5-day-old myotubes and the total cellular activity was present on the cell surface. During the period of myoblast fusion and myotube formation, cell surface activity decreased to a low level while total cellular activity was elevated.

Human erythrocyte ghosts were solubilized in a low ionic strength medium containing 1% Triton X-100 and subjected to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing Triton X-100. Five major bands were stained with Coomassie Blue, all except one band being heterogenous when re-electrophoresed in gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate. It was possible to detect acetylcholinesterase, non-specific esterase, ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aldolase activities on the Triton-containing polyacrylamide gels. Two of the enzymes, ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase, showed substantial inhibition by Triton X-100 in quantitative studies. This appears to be a useful method for studying membrane enzymes in normal and pathological red cells.
