By means of a preparation technique based on the discontinuous sucrose density gradient, subcellular fractions were isolated from guinea pig intestinal smooth muscle cells. A fraction which distributed to a 33% sucrose layer showed relatively high activities of 5'-nucleotidase, Na+ . K+-ATPase and ouabain sensitive Na+ . K+-ATPase. The fraction had a low NaN3 sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity. On the other hand, the high activity of glucose-6-phosphatase showed a broad distribution. Though the sucrose density gradient proceeded over a series of the fine layers, cross-contamination of microsome into the 33% sucrose fraction was not reduced. To reduce microsomal cross-contamination, another procedure was employed. The homogenization time of 77000 xg sediment to be layered on the top of the sucrose density gradients was prolonged. This procedure did not change the distribution of K+ activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, K+ activated ouabain sensitive p-nitrophenylphosphatase and ouabain sensitive Na+ . K+-ATPase activities. The peak of NADH cytochrome c reductase activity was shifted to a 38% sucrose fraction from a 33% sucrose fraction and the activity of this marker enzyme in the 33% sucrose fraction decreased to 60% of that of the prior procedure.

Liver plasma membranes enriched in bile canaliculi were isolated from rat liver by a modification of the technique of Song et al. (J. Cell Biol. (1969) 41, 124-132) in order to study the possible role of ATPase in bile secretion. Optimum conditions for assaying (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase in this membrane fraction were defined using male rats averaging 220 g in weight. (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase activity was documented by demonstrating specific cation requirements for Na+ and K+, while the divalent cation, Ca(2+), and the cardiac glycosides, ouabain and scillaren, were inhibitory. (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase activity averaged 10.07 plus or minus 2.80 mumol Pi/mg protein per h compared to 50.03 plus or minus 11.41 for Mg(2+)-activated ATPase and 58.66 plus or minus 10.07 for 5'-nucleotidase. Concentrations of ouabain and scillaren which previously inhibited canalicular bile secretion in the isolated perfused rat liver produced complete inhibition of (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase without any effect on Mg(2+)-activated ATPase. Both (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase and Mg(2+)-activated ATPase demonstrated temperature dependence but differed in temperature optima. Temperature induced changes in specific activity of (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase directly paralleled previously demonstrated temperature optima for bile secretion. These studies indicate that (Na+ plus K+)-activated ATPase is present in fractions of rat liver plasma membranes that are highly enriched in bile canaliculi and provide a model for further study of the effects of various physiological and chemical modifiers of bile secretion and cholestasis.

Enveloped and unenveloped forms of herpes simplex virus (HSV) occurring in infected rabbit lung (ZP line) cells were purified by differential and discontinuous Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. Then the viral particles were separated in a sucrose-D2O density gradient. In the course of the procedures, both virus preparations were freed of Mg2+-dependent Na+ plus K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), 5'-nucleotidase, and glucose-6-phosphatase activities. However, Mg2+ -activated ATPase was shown to be firmly associated with purified virions. The recovery of infectious virus was 50-60 percent. The specific infectivities (TCID50/mg protein) of the purified enveloped and unenveloped viral particles were 1-2 times 10(10) and 2-5 times 10(6), respectively. The infectivity of the unenveloped viral particles was discussed.

Previous studies have indicated that rat luteal cells at certain stages of development can be fractionated so as to obtain two plasma membrane fractions with different densities and different profiles of marker enzymes. The light membrane fractions (density 1.13) contain the majority of hCG-binding sites and little or no cyclase enzyme, while the heavy membranes (density 1.17) contain the majority of cyclase enzyme and lesser quantities of hormone-binding sites. These membrane fractions were further compared with respect to their susceptibility to perturbation by digitonin. The buoyant density of luteal cell light membrane fractions, as marked by [125I]iodo-hCG binding, Mg2+-dependent ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase, were highly perturbable by digotonin (delta density, greater than 0.05), while adenylate cyclase activity and phosphodiesterase activity associated with this fraction were only slightly perturbed (delta density, less than 0.02). The buoyant density of luteal cell heavy membrane fractions, as marked by adenylate cyclase, ATPase, and nucleotidase, was not significantly perturbed by digotonin. The hCG binding associated with the heavy membrane fraction was not perturbed by digitonin. From these studies, we conclude that the adenylate cyclase activity associated with light membrane fractions is due to contamination by heavy membranes, while the hCG-binding activity in heavy membrane fractions is intrinsic to that membrane. Except for the lysosomal marker (glucuronidase), which was solubilized by digitonin, the detergent had no significant effect on the density of mitochondrial, Golgi, GERL (Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysomal), or endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Plasma membranes from isolated granulosa cells and ovaries obtained 24 h after priming with PMS gonadotropin-hCG behaved as heavy membranes (density, 1.17) which contained hCG-binding sites, adenylate cyclase, nucleotidase, and Mg2+-dependent ATPase. These were not significantly perturbed by digitonin. The appearance of light membranes and the segregation of adenylate cyclase from the majority of hCG-binding sites is a development feature of the luteal cell.

The overall transport of bile salts across the hepatocyte is characterized as a carrier-mediated process whose rate-limiting step is biliary secretion. Specific bile salt binding proteins have been identified in liver surface membrane fractions and were postulated to represent the initial interaction in bile salt translocation across both the sinusoidal and canalicular membranes. To test this hypothesis, cycloheximide was administered to rats to inhibit hepatic protein synthesis. 16 h after cycloheximide administration [14C]leucine incorporation into hepatic protein was inhibited by 93% at 1 h and 47% at 12 h. However, values of liver function tests were not increased, although serum albumin, serum alanine amino-transferase, and alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased. Light and electron microscopy did not demonstrate necrosis or fat accumulation. The latter demonstrated minimal disorganization of rough endoplasmic reticulum and occasional lamellar whorls. 16 h after cycloheximide administration bile salt independent bile flow, basal bile salt excretion, and basal bile flow were unaltered, but the maximum bile salt transport capacity was reduced to 62% of control and 24 h later to 38%. Decreased bile salt transport was reversible, for it returned to control values after 48 h, when hepatic protein synthesis was also normal. Maximum bromosulfophthalein (BSP) transport, on the other hand, was reduced after 16 h to only 85% of control. Both bile salt and BPS maximum transport capacities decreased with time during inhibition of protein synthesis, apparently following first order kinetics. It was estimated that their half-lives are 20 h for bile salt transport and 55 h for BSP transport. These different turnover rates suggest that cycloheximide does not decrease active transport through generalized hepatic dysfunction or alteration of high energy sources possibly required for transport. The maximum number of [14C]cholic acid binding sites in liver surface membrane fractions was determined by an ultrafiltration assay. They were reduced to 68% of control after 16 h of cycloheximide and to 25% after 24 h. This reduction in the number of binding sites is apparently selective, for the activities of the liver surface membrane enzymes (Na+-K+)ATPase, Mg++-ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase were not significantly changed. The associated alterations in bile salt transport and the maximum number of binding sites after cycloheximide administration suggests that these receptors may be the bile salt carriers.

Whole sheets of plasma membrane, each with their attached flagellum, were purified from Trypanosoma brucei. The method devised for their isolation included a new technique of cell breakage that used a combination of osmotic stress followed by mechanical sheer and avoided the problem of extreme vesiculation as well as the trapping of organelles in cell 'ghosts'. The purified membranes all contained the pellicular microtubular array. The antigenic surface coat was completely released from the plasma membrane during the isolation procedure. The membranes had a very high cholesterol/phospholipid ratio (1.54). A large proportion (42%) of the cellular DNA was recovered in the plasma-membrane fraction unless a step involving deoxyribonuclease treatment, which decreased the DNA content to less than 13%, was included before secrose-density gradient centrifugation. This step also aided the separation of plasma membranes from other cellular components. The ouabain-sensitive Na+ + K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and adenylate cyclase co-purified with the plasma membranes. Although 5'-nucleotidase was thought to be a plasma-membrane component, it was easily detached from the membrane. The purified membranes were essentially free of L-alanine-alpha-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, L-asparte-alpha-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, malate dehydrogenase, oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase, glucose 6-phosphatase, Mg2+-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and catalase.

Mice treated with tetrasiloxane, 20 and 40 mg/kg/day, showed lesions in the reproductive organs, cytological changes in the pituitary glands, and changes in levels of cholesterol, phosphomonoesterases, transaminases, 5'-nucleotidase, lactic and isocitric dehydrogenases, and ATPase.

Plasma membranes were purified from purely cholinergic nerve endings (synaptosomes) isolated from the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata. Synaptosomes were lysed, membranes recovered and further separated by density gradient centrifugation. A fraction was obtained enriched in 5'-nucleotidase, Na+, K+-activated ATPase and acetylcholine esterase. Morphological examination showed abundant membrane fragments of the size range of synaptosomes and few of vesicle size. The fraction has a characteristic protein composition upon gel electrophoresis. Five reproducible major bands with apparent Mr of 100000, 75000, 52000, 42000 and 35000--33000 are found. A gel-electrophoretic comparison with proteins from synaptic vesicles from the same source (major bands Mr 160000, 147000, 34000 and 25000) was made. Comigration of major bands was detected in one-dimensional gel electrophoresis with the 42000-Mr, 35000--33000-Mr and 34000-Mr components. Upon two-dimensional gel electrophoresis the 42000-Mr component comigrates with a similar component in vesicles, recently characterized as actin; the other components are different. The presence of tubulin-like polypeptides is unlikely. Beside actin, all major vesicle proteins are often detected in small amounts in the plasma membrane preparation. It cannot be decided if they result from fused or contaminating vesicle membranes, but since they are essentially absent in some preparations, it seems that the plasma membrane does not contain vesicle proteins.

Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were isolated from guinea pig myocardium by differential pelleting. The mitochondrial fraction was subjected to analytical subfractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the gradient fractions assayed for marker enzymes for the various mitochondrial compartments, viz outer membrane (monoamine oxidase), intermembranous space (adenylate kinase), inner membrane (Mg2+-dependent ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase) and mitochondrial matrix (malate dehydrogenase), and for creatine kinase. Both creatine kinase and adenylate kinase were released by suspending the mitochondria in 50 mmol . litre-1 sodium phosphate buffer. Sonication or disruption with the detergent, digitonin released the adenylate kinase but the creatine kinase remained associated with the inner membranes. Subsequent salt treatment desorbed the creatine kinase from these membranes. It is concluded that creatine kinase is located to the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Analytical subfractionation of the microsomal fraction clearly resolved markers for the sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), outer mitochondrial membrane (monoamine oxidase) and endoplasmic reticulum (neutral alpha-glucosidase and RNA). Creatine kinase was localised in the endoplasmic reticulum particularly the smooth membranes.

The epitheloid modified walls of helicine arteries are built of tightly arranged specialized smooth muscle cells (epitheloid cells). They are polygonal in shape, but do not branch out. The number of myofilaments is markedly reduced, whereas cell organelles are well developed (mitochondria, Golgi regions, rough endoplasmic reticulum). Myofilaments are gathered to bundles with no orientation as to their direction. Regular dense patches and attachment zones do occur. The cell surface is provided with caveolae (surface vesicles) and a basal lamina. Where epitheloid cells are joined together, they share a single basal lamina in common. In circumscribed regions basal lamina material is completely absent, and the cell membranes approach to form a 150 A gap (paired cells). Endothelial cells are rich in cytoplasmic filaments and show only a few transport vesicles. In particular areas a basal lamina is absent, and epitheloid cells and endothelial cells are joined together leaving a 200 A wide cleft. Fluorescence histochemistry shows that helicine arteries are provided with an extremely dense network of adrenergic nerves located at the medio-adventitial border. Epitheloid cells, like ordinary vascular smooth muscle cells, show a postive ATPase reaction, but lack any histochemically demonstrable 5'-nucleotidase activity. Endothelial cells in helicine arteries react on unspecific alkaline phosphatase, while the endothelium of deep arteries and of the cavernous spaces does not.
