Single bilayer lipid vesicles were formed by removal of Triton X-100 with Bio Beads SM-2 from a mixture of egg lecithin and a Triton X-100 extract of human erythrocyte ghosts. Upon freeze-fracturing, these vesicles showed intramembrane particles, similar to those seen in the erythrocyte membrane. Similar particles were also observed when a partially purified band 3 preparation was used instead of the crude Triton X-100 extract. In the reconstituted vesicles an equal distribution of the intramembrane particles between the two fracture faces was observed. This is in contrast to the unequal distribution of the particles in the erythrocyte membrane, which did not seem to be altered by removal of the extrinsic proteins. From digestion studies with trypsin and chymotrypsin of vesicles, reconstituted from the crude X-100 extract, it is concluded that band 3 protein in the vesicle bilayer has a similar orientation as in the native membrane.

1. The isolation of the ADP/ATP translocator from beef heart mitochondria as the bongkrekateprotein complex is described, using hydroxyapatite chromatography and gel filtration in Triton X-100 solution. 2. The inhibitor is bound to the protein prior to solubilization with detergent for protection against denaturation. Only the intact bongkrekate-protein passes easily through the hydroxyapatite column. Bongkrekate shileds the protein in contrast to carboxyatractylate only partially against proteinases present in the crude extract. 3. The isolated bongkrekate protein shows the same molecular weights in dodecylsulfate and Triton X-100, the same amino acid composition and the same isoelectric point as the earlier isolated carboxyatractylate-protein complex. It differs by its higher sensitivity against trypsin and thermolysin. 4. The identity of both proteins is demonstrated by interconversion of the bongkrekate-protein into the carboxyatractylate-protein. The process requires the catalysis by ADP or ATP, the natural substrates of the protein. 5. The formation of the extractable [3H]bongkrekate-protein complex in mitochondria requires the presence of ADP or ATP. 6. These data, the immunological studies presented earlier, and the differences in the reactivity of -SH groups of the isolated bongkrekate and carboxyatractylate complexes (to be published) indicate that both proteins represent different conformational states of the translocator protein (m-state and c-state).

Gel-filtration of 0,6 M NaCl and 0,6 M NaCl--0,1% Triton X-100 extracts of freshly isolated sarcolemma through Sepharose 2B (1,5 X 72 cm) has revealed one symmetric peak of acetylcholinesterase activity containing phospholipid and cholesterol, moving faster than fibrinogen and tyreoglobulin. The acetylcholinesterase fraction is substantially separated from other extract proteins. Gel-filtration of extracts from long-store, treated by ultrasound or high concentration of detergent sarcolemma has revealed some peaks of acetylcholinesterase activity, which may be suggested to be degraded forms of the complex high molecular weight structure. All species of acetylcholinesterase are converted by treatment with trypsin to a form moving upon gel-filtration with enzyme-marker catalase. The microsome extracts contain only the form moving with catalase.

Succinyl-trialanine-p-nitroanilide (Suc-Ala3-pNA) has been described earlier as a convenient substrate for pancreatic elastase which is not split by trypsin and chymotrypsin. An enzyme activity splitting Suc-Ala3-pNA has been found in the supernatant of the mucous membrane of human small intestine homogenized with Triton X-100.

Studies were designed to evaluate the binding of binding of vitamin B12 to cell membrane preparations from human placenta. The transcobalamin II-vitamin B12 complex (TCII-B12), which has a much greater affinity for the membranes than vitamin B12 alone, binds to a single saturable binding site with an approximate Ka = 7.2 mM-1. The binding requires a divalent cation and is temperature-dependent. Free TCII can compete with TCII-B12 for the binding site but has somewhat less affinity than does TCII-B12. Rat TCII-B12 has an affinity constant that is less than one-fifth that of human TCII-B12; human TCI-B12, bovine TCII-B12, hog intrinsic factor-B12 (IF-B12), and human IF-B12 do not bind to the membranes. Pretreating the membranes with trypsin causes a marked decrease in subsequent binding; this suggests the binding site includes a relatively exposed membrane protein. These data suggest that a specific cell surface receptor for the TCII-B12 complex exists in placenta. This TCII-B12 receptor can be solubilized with Triton X-100.

The topography of the external surface of the human red cell membrane has been studied using an impermeant radioactive probe, [125I]diazodiiodosulfanilic acid, which binds covalently to protein groups of the membrane following reaction with intact cells. The pattern of labeling was assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis followed by sequential analysis of single gels for carbohydrates (by staining with the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent), for proteins (by staining with Coomassie blue), and for radioactivity (by counting gels sliced in 2-mm segments). The radioactive probe bound to membrane polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 94,200, 58,100, and 46,500 (Peaks A, B, and C, respectively). Peak A co-migrated with a small periodic acid-Schiff-positive band and protein Band 3 (nomenclature of Steck) (Steck, T.L. (1974)J. Cell Biol. 62: 1-19). Peak B migrated with protein Band(s) 4.5 slightly ahead of the major membrane glycoprotein (PAS-1). Peak C migrated like glycoprotein PAS-2 and protein Band 5, the actin-like, water-soluble membrane protein. In contrast to lactoperoxidase iodination and a number of other probes, [125I]diazodiiodosulfanilic acid reacted minimally with the major membrane glycoprotein, glycophorin. When it was reacted with isolated ghosts, all molecular weight classes of polypeptides were labeled. Treatment of labeled cells with neuraminidase or trypsin altered the glycoprotein staining pattern, but not the radioactive peaks. On the other hand, Pronase eliminated the Mr=94,200 radioactive peak, diminished the other two radioactive peaks, and profoundly changed the glycoprotein and protein staining patterns. Treatment of the membranes of labeled cells in a low ionic strength alkaline medium did not alter radioactive peaks and demonstrated that Peak C differed from the actin-like membrane protein. A nonionic detergent, Triton X-100, solubilized all radioactive components. The studies have defined the binding of [125I]diazodiiodosulfanilic acid to external proteins of the human red cell membrane. Its pattern of reaction differs quantitatively and qualitatively from other commonly used reagents, and it provides a useful additional vectorial probe for the study of membrane topography. Its reactions provide further evidence of the organizational complexity of the red cell membrane and emphasize the fact that interpretation of information derived from the use of membrane probes must take into account the differences resulting from the properties of the probing reagents themselves.

Procedures were developed for isolating highly purified cytoplasmic granules of basophilic leukocytes from guinea pig peripheral blood. The methods involved disruption of cells in 0.34 M sucrose followed by a series of membrane filtrations and fractionation on sucrose density gradients. These preparations, up to 95% pure basophil granules by electron microscopy, contained a mixture of neutral esterases-proteases including caseinolytic activity; both trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like serine hydrolases were identified by means of appropriate inhibitors. Localization of at least one such activity to the basophil granule was confirmed by a cytochemical method; this activity was absent in contaminating lymphocytes and eosinophils. By contrast, several lysosomal enzymes, lactic dehydrogenase, and plasminogen activator activity, present in cell homogenates, were absent from purified granules. The granule matrix of guinea pig basophils, unlike the cytoplasmic granules of other granulocytes or mast cells, was little altered by high or low salt concentration but was disrupted into insoluble fragments by 0.01 N HCl and by Triton X-100. Granules were solubilized by papain and by urea-SDS but enzyme activity was destroyed. Triton X-100 incubation with freeze-thawing proved to be the optimal method for extracting esterase activities. Esterase activities were not released from basophils under conditions of anaphylactic degranulation that liberated the great majority of basophil granule histamine.

1. Mitochondria were isolated from developing endosperm of Ricinus communis and were fractionated into outer membrane and inner membrane. The relative purity of the two membrane fractions was determined by marker enzymes. The fractions were also examined by negative-stain electron microscopy. 2. Membrane fractions were sequentially extracted in the following way. (a) Suspension in 0.5M-potassium phosphate, pH7.1; (b)suspension in 0.1M-EDTA (disodium salt)/0.05M-potassium phosphate, pH7.1; (c) sonication in 0.05M-potassium phosphate, pH7.1;(d)sonication in aq. Triton X-100 (0.1%). The membranes were pelleted by centrifugation at 100 000g for 15 min, between each step. Agglutination activity in the extracts was investigated by using trypsin-treated rabbit erythrocytes. 3. The addition of lactose to inner mitochondrial membrane resulted in the solubilization of part of the lectin activity, indicating that the protein was attached to the membrane via its carbohydrate-binding site. Pretreatment of the membranes with lactose before tha usual extraction procedure showed that lactose could extract lectins that normally required more harsh treatment of the membrane for solubilization. 4. Lectins extracted from inner membranes were purified by affinity chromatography on agarose gel. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of purified samples in sodium dodecyl sulphate indicated that at least part of the lectin present in inner mitochondrial membrane was identical with the R. communis agglutinin of mol.wt. 120 000.

Ghosts from Escherichia coli have been oxidized with CuSO4-o-phenanthroline or ferricyanide-ferrocene. Upon oxidation they became resistant to boiling dodecyl sulfate. The resulting rod-shaped "oxidation containers" apparently held together by disulfide bridges, are practically pure protein. They are soluble in dodecyl sulfate when reduced and they contain a set of about 30 different polypeptide chains. The four major ghost membrane proteins are not represented among the "oxidation proteins." Comparison of data obtained from digestion of ghosts with trypsin or particle-bound trypsin showed that most of the "oxidation proteins" appear to be located at the outer surface of the ghost membrane which is derived from the outer cell envelope membrane. One of the major ghost membrane proteins, II, is partially digested by trypsin, and it is shown that its trypsin sensitive part is also exposed only at the outer surface of the ghost membrane. Native cells could be oxidized only with low yields of "oxidation containers." However, cell envelopes prepared without detergents or chelating agents, as well as cells depleted of phospholipid or treated with sucrose-Triton X-100, are completely accessible to oxidation. In each case, the same set of proteins as that present in "oxidation containers" from ghosts was found to be covalently linked. Treatment of cells with trypsin caused the loss of about five "oxidation proteins" and a complete loss of oxidizability of the ghosts derived from these cells. It therefore appears that arrangement and localization of the "oxidation proteins" are not greatly different in cells and in ghosts, i.e., that these proteins are also situated asymmetrically at the outer cell envelope membrane.
