Brush borders were prepared from pig intestinal mucosa and the membrane proteins solubilized with either Triton X-100 or papain. Proteins, thus released, were used as antigens to raise antisera in rabbits. The immunoglobulin G fractions were isolated and shown by the double layer immunofluorescence staining technique to react only with the brush border region of the enterocyte. The antibodies obtained were used in immunoelectrophoretic studies on the brush border proteins. Eight hydrolytic activities were identified by the use of histo-chemical staining methods. These were the microsomal aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2), aspartate aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.7), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.X), lactase (EC 3.2.1.23), glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48), isomaltase (EC 3.2.1.10) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1). In addition, at least four faint immunoprecipitates were formed but none of these were identified.

A significantly modified procedure for investigating enzyme secretion from yeast sphaeroplasts, and results from its application are described. Sphaeroplasts were derepressed for invertase biosynthesis in the presence of helicase and fractionated to reveal the distribution of high and low molecular weight forms of invertase. Secreted enzyme was found to be of high molecular weight, exclusively. Less than 10% of the total invertase activity was present in washed sphaeroplasts and of this, 43% was soluble, consisting of both high and low molecular weight forms of invertase. Washed membranes retained 32% of the internal invertase activity, and on solubilization with Triton X-100 the enzyme was found to be of an intermediate molecular weight. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that invertase is glycosylated at the plasma membrane.

About 90% of the protein of hamster intestinal brush borders was solubilised in 0.25% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulphate without total loss of biological activity. Detergent-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the solubilised proteins separated 10-15 bands and partially resolved maltase, lactase, sucrase-maltase, trehalase and alkaline phosphatase activities. The disaccharidases, which were associated with the higher molecular weight proteins, were preferentially solubilised with 0.1%. (w/v) Triton X-100, butanol or papain, whereas Tris and NaI extracted only the lower molecular weight proteins, possible derived from the core filaments. Electrophoresis of brush border proteins metabolically labelled with [14-C] glucosamine suggested that many of the membrane-bound enzymes are glycoproteins. However, chromatography of a papain digest on Sephadex G-200 showed that the sucrase-maltase complex can be separated nearly free of carbohydrate without total loss of activity. The importance of characterizing membrane proteins solubilised by a number of techniques is discussed.

The interaction of alpha-chymotrypsin, invertase, alcohol dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase with some ionic and non-ionic surfactants, viz. sodium dodecyl sulphate, dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Triton X-100, has been examined by studying the effect of varying surfactant concentrations on enzyme activities as well as by determining the time-dependent inactivation and the time-independent inhibition. The kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax, for alpha-chymotrypsin-catalysed reaction in presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate were evaluated. Anionic surfactants markedly decreased enzyme activity, whereas cationic surfactants were less effective. Nonionics showed no effect. This change in enzyme activity was also dependent on the nature of enzyme.

A phospholipase A2 activity directed against phosphatidylcholine was previously described in brush-border membrane from guinea pig intestine (Diagne, A., Mitjavila, S., Fauvel, J., Chap, H., and Douste-Blazy, L. (1987) Lipids 22, 33-40). In the present study, this enzyme was solubilized either with Triton X-100 or upon papain treatment, suggesting a structural similarity with other intestinal hydrolases such as leucine aminopeptidase, sucrase, or trehalase. The papain-solubilized form, which is thought to lack the short hydrophobic tail responsible for membrane anchoring, was purified 1800-fold to about 90% purity by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA44, and hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose. Upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, a main band with an apparent molecular mass of 97 kDa was detected under reducing and nonreducing conditions. In the latter case, phospholipase A2 activity could be recovered from the gel and was shown to coincide with the 97-kDa protein detected by silver staining. The enzyme activity was unaffected by EGTA and slightly inhibited by CaCl2. The purified enzyme displayed a similar activity against phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine hydrolysis was reduced by 50% compared to diacylglycerophospholipids. Using phosphatidylcholine labeled with either [3H]palmitic acid or [14C]linoleic acid in the 1- or 2-positions, respectively, the purified enzyme catalyzed the removal of [3H]palmitic acid, although at a lower rate compared to [14C]linoleic acid. This resulted in the formation of sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, but only 1-[3H]palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was detected as an intermediary product. In agreement with this, 1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-[14C]glycero-3-phosphocholine was deacylated at almost the same rate as the sn-2-position of phosphatidylcholine. Since upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the two hydrolytic activities were detected at the same position as 97-kDa protein, the enzyme is thus considered as a phospholipase A2 with lysophospholipase activity (phospholipase B), which might be involved in phospholipid digestion.

Yeast secretory mutant sec53 cells accumulate inactive secretory glycoprotein precursors that remain associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at the restrictive temperature (37 degrees C). The possibility that precursor polypeptides fail to penetrate completely into the ER lumen was tested by examining the protease accessibility of accumulated invertase, mating pheromone precursor prepro-alpha-factor and the vacuolar protein precursor procarboxypeptidase Y in cell lysates. In all three cases, the secretory protein precursors are protected from the action of exogenous protease unless the membrane is permeabilized by including Triton X-100 or saponin in the incubation. These results suggest that the sec53 defect allows complete polypeptide translocation. Consistent with this interpretation, the precursor of invertase accumulates in a signal peptide-processed form. In addition, invertase and prepro-alpha-factor precursors contain a small amount of possibly aberrant carbohydrate. In mutant cells or in wild type cells treated with tunicamycin, a 10-kDa fragment of the N terminus of mature invertase assumes a conformation that is resistant to trypsin with or without detergent. This domain may be associated with an ER protein or may simply assume an unusual conformation as a consequence of deficient glycosyl modification.

Highly purified microvillus membrane vesicles isolated from rat small intestine were enriched in sucrase, maltase, and aminopeptidase activities. Approximately 90-95% of each enzyme was released from the membrane fraction by treatment with detergent (Triton X-100) and sonication. Using untreated and solubilized preparations, the effect of lectin binding on the activity of each of the three enzymes was measured. It was observed that wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) dramatically enhanced the activity of membrane-bound maltase but had much less effect on the detergent solubilized enzyme. Under the same conditions aminopeptidase activity was inhibited by WGA and PHA while sucrase activity was not affected. These alterations in enzyme activity occurred at lectin concentrations that also precipitated each solubilized enzyme from solution. Inhibitory sugars prevented the alterations in enzyme activity suggesting that the effect is due to the binding of lectin to specific carbohydrate structures. Enhancement of membrane-bound maltase activity by WGA and PHA was shown to be temperature dependent indicating that the lipid environment of the microvillus membrane may play a role in mediating the lectin effect. A kinetic analysis of the changes in maltase activity induced by these two lectins was due solely to an increase in Vmax. Two other lectins used in this study (concanavalin A and Ricinus communis agglutinin) did not readily precipitate the enzymes in question or alter their activity. These results show that binding of lectins to brush border membranes can induce variable changes in the activity of several membrane associated hydrolases, and suggest that similar changes may occur in vivo in the presence of dietary lectin.

In the pigeon, 70-80% of the activities of maltase (alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase EC 3.2.1.20), sucrase (alpha-glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.48), isomaltase (dextran 6-alpha-D-glucan hydrolase, EC 3.2.1.10) and glucoamylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.3) were found to be localized in the brush-border membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. Of the total glycosidase activities in the mucosal homogenate, nearly 60 to 70% were recovered in the microsomal (105 000 X g) fraction, about 30% in the mitochondrial (22 000 X g) fraction and less than 5% from the cytosol (105 000 X g supernatant) fraction. The hydrolases were solubilized by digestion with papain but not with trypsin, and the phosphate ion had a protective effect in the solubilization. Amongst detergents, Triton X-100 but not sodium deoxycholate, was found to truly solubilize these enzymes.

Vitamin D3 is known to stimulate the absorption of calcium across the asymmetric intestinal epithelial cells. Efforts to elucidate the mechanism of stimulation of intestinal calcium transport by vitamin D are now focused on evaluating the protein composition and topology of the brush-border membrane and its associated core material. Intestinal brush-border membranes were isolated from vitamin D-replete and vitamin D-deficient chicks. Core material proteins were isolated, by sedimentation, from brush-border membranes which were solubilized with Triton X-100. As determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, dietary vitamin D3 treatment caused no change in the relative amounts of five major core material proteins with Mr = 101,000, 94,000, 67,000, 42,000 (actin), and 17,000. In contrast, dietary vitamin D3 treatment caused a significant reduction in the levels of two proteins with Mr = 111,000 (sucrase) and 83,000, and an increase in the levels of a protein with Mr = 78,000 (possibly a subunit of alkaline phosphatase). The Mr = 111,000, 83,000, and 78,000 proteins are readily solubilized by Triton X-100 and are located on the extracellular surface of the brush-border membrane, as judged by [125I]diazoiodosulfanilic acid and lactoperoxidase 125I labeling. A significant vitamin D-dependent difference was found with respect to iodination of isolated core material as evidenced by the 125I labeling patterns of the Mr = 42,000 protein (actin). The Mr = 42,000 protein was labeled two to three times more extensively when associated with core material derived from vitamin D-deficient chicks as compared to vitamin D-replete chicks. Increasing the salt concentration (0-125 mM KCl) present during core material isolation from either vitamin D-replete or vitamin D-deficient chicks yields core material actin which is more susceptible to iodination by both [125I]diazoiodosulfanilic acid and lactoperoxidase. This increase in the extent of actin iodination is coupled to a salt-induced decrease in the stability of the core material which is evidenced by a decrease in the percentage of total brush-border membrane actin which is Triton-insoluble. This strongly suggests that the vitamin D-induced decrease in the accessibility of actin to iodination reagents results from a vitamin D-dependent change in the structure of the core material. Collectively, these results implicate a role for dietary vitamin D3 in maintaining a specified composition and topology of both the brush-border membrane proteins as well as its associated cytoskeletal core proteins, which is possibly important for intestinal calcium transport.

Cells of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 were converted to stable protoplasts by the cell wall-degrading M-1 enzyme of the mutanolysin complex isolated from Streptomyces globisporus. Over 90% of total glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), and dextranglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.70) was recovered in the cytoplasmic fraction, whereas over 20% of total invertase (beta-fructofuranosidase: EC 3.2.1.26) was released during protoplast formation. ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3). chymotrypsin-like protease (EC 3.4.21.1), arginine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.6), and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) were detected in Triton X-100 extracts of the cytoplasmic membrane fraction by crossed immunoelectrophoresis in combination with enzyme-staining procedures. By these methods, NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3), aminopeptidase, and lactate dehydrogenase were detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. Aminopeptidases in the cytoplasmic fraction differed from this activity in the membrane fractions in electrophoretic mobility and substrate specificity.
