Involvement of serine protease-activation in the generation of cytoplasmic factor(s) that induced NHP-specific protein kinase activity in nuclei in anti-Ig-stimulated cells was described. DFP or PMSF with anti-Ig inhibited the induction of cytoplasmic factor(s), whereas pretreatment of cells with DFP or PMSF without anti-Ig did not show any inhibitory effect on anti-Ig-induced generation of cytoplasmic factor(s). TAME or BAME with anti-Ig inhibited the generation of cytoplasmic factor(s) and the simultaneous addition of TAME or BAME with DFP protected the generation of cytoplasmic factor(s) against the inhibitory effect of DFP, showing the involvement of trypsin-like, arginine-type serine protease in anti-Ig-induced generation of cytoplasmic factor(s). Anti-Ig-stimulated membrane preparations induced cytoplasmic factor(s) in normal cytoplasm. The m.w. of precursor proteins present in resting B cells and active cytoplasmic factor(s) were approximately 150,000 and 45,000, respectively. These results showed that anti-Ig-activated membrane-bound serine protease split precursor proteins in resting B cells into active cytoplasmic factor(s) responsible for signal transmission.

The activity of the membrane-bound enzymes of the microvillous zone of the entreocytes (maltase, sucrase, trehalase, lactase, cellobiase, alkaline phosphatase and leucylaminopeptidase) was studied in mucosal smears from the proximal jejunum, ileum, caecum and sigmoid flexure in a group of control (C) (8) and germ-free (GF) (7) rabbits. The trypsin and chymotrypsin activity of the contents of the ileum, caecum and sigmoid flexure was studied in 6 C, 5 GF and 5 monocontaminated (MC) rabbits. In summing up it can be stated that the individual membrane-bound enzymes have a different gradient in the various intestinal segments of C and GF rabbits and that they differ reciprocally in character. The maximum statistically significant differences between GF and C rabbits were found in the ileum; in the jejunum they were somewhat smaller and in the caecum smaller still (in this localization the difference was C versus GF). Striking differences in the proportion of the individual disaccharidases were found inthe jejunum and ileum of C rabbits compared with GF rabbits, in which, in both these segments of small intestine the relationship maltase greater than sucrase greater than trehalase greater than lactase was preserved. The proteolytic activity of the intestinal contents likewise had a different gradient character in C, MC and GF rabbits. The maximum activities (especially trypsin) were found in MC animals. The microbial flora is one of the factors regulating the enzymatic activities of the microvillous zone of the enterocytes and it also significantly influences the proteolytic activity of the intestinal contents. This influence is particularly marked in the distal part of the alimentary tube.

A membrane-bound nucleotidase of Bacillus cereus T was solubilized by digestion with trypsin and subsequently purified more than 300-fold. The purified nucleotidase was most active on ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates and was slightly less active (40 to 60%) on deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates and ribonucleoside 3'-monophosphates. In addition to hydrolytic activity, the nucleotidase preparation possessed phosphotransferase activity by which phosphate is transferred from a phosphate donor to the 5' position of nucleosides.

A procedure is described for the isolation of highly purified heavy-chain immunoglobulin mRNAs from a variety of mouse plasmacytomas (IgA, IgG, and IgM producers). The use of fresh tissue and the rapid isolation and direct extraction of membrane-bound polyribosomes were found to be essential in obtaining large quantities of undegraded heavy-chain mRNAs. The individual mRNAs were purified by two cycles of oligo(dT)-cellulose chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate--sucrose gradient centrifugation, and electrophoresis on 98% formamide containing polyacrylamide gels. When added to a cell-free protein-synthesizing system from wheat germ, the MPC-11 gamma2b and H2020 alpha heavy-chain mRNAs efficiently directed the synthesis of a predominant product of 55 000 molecular weight, while the synthesis of a 70 000 dalton protein in addition to other lower molecular weight polypeptides were observed with MOPC 3741 mu mRNA. All of these proteins were immunoprecipitable with class-specific heavy-chain antisera, and in the case of the gamma2b in vitro products good correspondence in a comparative trypsin--chymotrypsin fingerpring with in vivo labeled gamma2b heavy chain was observed. The gamma2b and a alpha heavy-chain mRNAs possessed a chain length of approximately 1800 nucleotides and the mu mRNA a size of approximately 2150 nucleotides when examined under stringent denaturation conditions. The purities of the alpha, gamma2b, and mu mRNAs were estimated to be 60--80%, 50--70%, and 50--83%, respectively, on the basis of their hybridization rates with cDNA probes in comparison to mRNA standards of known complexity. Heavy-chain mRNAs of the same class isolated from different mouse strains (Balb/C or NZB) display no detectable sequence differences in cross hybridization experiments, even though the cDNA--mRNA hybrids are submitted to stringent S1 nuclease digestion. These results indicate that allotypic determinants represent only a minor fraction of the heavy-chain constant region sequence in the mouse.

Human erythrocyte membranes contain a major transmembrane protein, known as Band 3, that is involved in anion transport. This protein contains a total of five reactive sulfhydryl groups, which can be assigned to either of two classes on the basis of their susceptibility to release from the membrane by trypsin. Two of the groups are located in the region COOH-terminal to the extracellular chymotrypsin-sensitive site of the protein and remain with a membrane-bound 55,000-dalton fragment generated by trypsin treatment. The three sulfhydryl groups NH2-terminal to the extracellular chymotrypsin site are released from the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane by trypsin. All three groups are present in a 20,000-dalton tryptic fragment of Band 3. Two of these groups are located very close to the sites of trypsin cleavage that generate the 20,000-dalton fragment. The third reactve group is probably located about 15,000-daltons from the most NH2-terminal sulfhydryl group. Two other well defined fragments of the protein do not contain reactive sulfhydryl groups. They are a 23,000-dalton fragment derived from the NH2-terminal end that is also released by trypsin from the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane and a 19,000-dalton membrane-bound region of the protein that is produced by treatment with chymotrypsin in ghosts. The 20,000-dalton tryptic fragment may, therefore, constitute a sulfhydryl-containing domain of the Band 3 protein.

1. Sonication of bovine liver microsomes completely solubilized the membrane-bound lysophospholipase II (EC 3.1.1.5). Co-chromatography with purified 125I-labelled lysophospholipase indicated that the enzyme was solubilized from microsomes in a lipid-free state. 2. In the presence of residual microsomal membranes, the solubilized lysophospholipase could only be partly degraded by trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4). Therefore, trypsin could not be used to study the transmembrane disposition of lysophospholipase in intact microsomes. 3. Chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) destroyed the solubilized lysophospholipase activity, even in the presence of residual microsomal membranes. 4. Lysophospholipase in intact microsomal vesicles was resistant to chymotrypsin digestion. 5. When microsomal vesicles were made leaky with lysophosphatidylcholine, chymotrypsin destroyed more than 95% of the lysophospholipase activity. 6. It is concluded from these experiments that at least the active center of lysophospholipase is located at the luminal side of the bovine liver microsomal membrane.

The effect of phospholipid depletion by phospholipases on the properties and formation of monoamine oxidase A and B been investigated. The enzyme was solubilized, partially purified, treated with phospholipases and subjected to get filtration to reduce the amount of enzyme-associated phospholipids. Phospholipase A treatment of the purified monoamine oxidase fraction had no effect on the deprenil inhibition pattern or the observed transition temperatures in the Arrhenius plots. However, the rate of enzyme inactivation by heat and trypsin were greatly increased but differences in rates of inactivation of monoamine oxidase A and B were still observed. Phospholipase C treatment of the enzyme fraction had no effect on the deprenil inhibition pattern, Arrhenius plots, heat stability or trypsin digestibility. The inhibition pattern of membrane-bound monoamine oxidase and the phospholipase-treated fractions by propargylamine showed a reduced substrate specificity compared to deprenil suggesting a hydrophobic region in the enzyme is a factor involved in the structural differences of monoamine oxidase A and B.

Rats were fed cholesterol, cacao butter, or olive oil diets to determine the effect of dietary lipids on the rate of drug biotransformation in the liver and duodenum. The cholesterol rich diet maintained the hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity at the same level as did the standard diet. Rats fed olive oil and cacao butter diets showed lower hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydrorylase activity. The p-nitroanisole O-demethylase activity was doubled in hepatic microsomes of rats fed the high cholesterol diet when compared to rats fed the standard diet. The hepatic uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase activity showed different patterns depending on the in vitro treatment of the microsomal membranes. If the enzyme activity was assayed from the native, untreated microsomes, an increase in the measurable uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase activity was found in rats having cholesterol rich diet. After the in vitro activation of membrane-bound uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase by trypsin, the increase in measurable activity was 10 fold in the group fed the standard diet, 6 fold in group fed cholesterol, 4 fold in group fed cacao butter, and 3 fold in group fed olive oil. Trypsin digestion of microsomes increased the measurable uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase activity less in rats fed diets rich in neutral fats than those fed the standard diet. In the duodenal mucosa, lipid diets decreased the activities of drug hydroxylation and glucuronidation.

The orientation of proteins and glycoproteins of the platelet surface has been studied using various surface probes and labeling reagents. A fourth major glycoprotein has now been detected in platelet plasma membranes by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis in addition to the previously recognized glycoproteins I, II, and III. Glycoprotein IV Mr, = approximately 87,000) appears to be present on the inner aspect of the membrane or buried within it since it is not accessible to surface probes such as lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, radiolabeling with transglutaminase and [14C]glycine ethyl ester, or proteolytic enzymes. The ratio of these four major membrane-bound glycoproteins is approximately 10:4:2:3. Contrary to previous reports, only one glycoprotein, glycoprotein III, is accessible to lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination in intact platelets. Differences in the rate of destruction of glycoprotein II in intact platelets by trypsin suggests that two components may be migrating in this region. Examination of the soluble fraction obtained following platelet homogenization showed the presence of a single soluble glycoprotein of molecular weight 148,000 comprising about 10% of total platelet sialic acid. Treatment of intact platelets with neuraminidase resulted in the quantitative loss of siliac acid from the soluble glycoprotein, and it was strongly labeled in the intact platelet by [14C]glycine ethyl ester in the presence of transglutaminase. Treatment of intact platelets with chymotrypsin which does not cause the platelet release reaction, caused the rapid conversion of the soluble glycoprotein to a macroglycopeptide. These results indicate a surface origin for the soluble glycoprotein rather than a cytoplasmic or granular origin. The term glycocalicin is suggested for this glycoprotein in view of its origin in the platelet glycocalyx.

When BHK21 fibroblasts adhering to glass were incubated in trypsin they became spherical within a few minutes. They did not, however, respond simultaneously; the most trypsin-resistant cells in an unsynchronized population were of greater length, had more processes projecting from the cell body, and were more spread out than the most trypsin sensitive cells. In no instance did trypsin detach cells from their substrate, even when the incubation period was prolonged to 5 h in trypsin concentrations almost sufficient to cause cell lysis. Scanning electron-microscope observations showed that initially flat cells rounded up in trypsin to reveal persistent adhesion sites joined to the cell body by retraction fibres. Such cell could be dislodged only by agitation; when this occurred parts of the cell remained attached to the substrate in the form of small spheres and fibres; these were remnants of the retraction fibres and adhesion sites. We propose that the adhesion sites are not susceptible to proteolytic degradation, presumably because of steric hindrance, and that this causes detachment to be dependent upon mechanical dislocation. We suggest that some of the descriptions of substrate-associated 'cell exudates' in the literature may refer to these cell remnants on the substrate which consist of membrane-bound fragments of cytoplasm rather than secreted products.
