Detergent extracts of isolated rat liver plasma membranes were analysed in two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis against antiserum to plasma membranes. Enzyme staining of the immunoprecipitates revealed the presence of about ten antigens with nucleoside di- and triphosphatase activity. Most of these were earlier shown also to be NADH-neotetrazolium reductase active. In addition, two of these antigens exhibited L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase activity. As judged from autoradiography these plasma membrane antigens earlier characterized as multienzyme complexes bound [14C]epinephrine, and the same antigens were labelled regardless of whether membranes or membrane extracts were incubated with the radioactive hormone. The specificity of this binding was established in displacement experiments with unlabelled hormones or their analogues. Another hormone-binding antigen, also identified in the plasma membrane extract did not exhibit any known enzyme activity while three antigens with different enzyme activities had no epinephrine-binding capacity. [14C]Epinephrine-labelled plasma membrane extracts were chromatographed on Sepharose 4B and the fractions obtained were analysed in two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis combined with autoradiography. Nucleoside di- and triphosphatases of high molecular weights (5000000) were associated with L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase activity, while no such associations were detected in a lower molecular weight region (70000). Further immunological studies on the various fractionated antigens provided evidence that at least two of them occurred in both low and high molecular weight fractions. Hormone-binding membrane components in varying concentrations were found throughout the eluted extract.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in erythrocyte membranes from patients with Duchenne dystrophy was inhibited by ouabain less than in normal individuals in assay systems containing high or low contents of salt. Epinephrine and cyclic adenosine monophosphate increased total ATPase activity in all samples, and epinephrine restored ouabain sensitivity to the Duchenne membranes. Basal adenyl cyclase activity in about twice that of controls. Epinephrine stimulated adenyl cyclase activity of normal membranes two to three times, but did not stimulate the enzyme in Duchenne membranes. These differences may reflect a genetic abnormality of the membrane.
