- W2024785771 abstract "The acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-containing electroplax membranes from Torpedo californica have a relatively high cholesterol content. Reconstitution studies suggest that this cholesterol may be important in preserving or modulating the function of the acetylcholine receptor-channel complex. We have manipulated cholesterol levels in intact Torpedo AChR-rich membrane fragments using small, unilamellar phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Conditions have been established that allow further subfractionation of sucrose gradient purified Torpedo electroplax membranes into AChR-rich and ATPase-rich populations and that, at the same time, achieve cholesterol depletion without phospholipid back exchange or fusion. The incubation of membranes with excess liposomes could only achieve about a 50% reduction in the molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid. In no case was the number of cholesterol molecules per AChR oligomer reduced below 36. The remaining cholesterol could not be depleted either by longer incubations or by multiple, sequential depletions. Cholesterol depletion was accompanied by a significant increase in bulk membrane fluidity as measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, but the equilibrium binding parameters of acetylcholine to its receptor were unaltered. This suggests strongly that there exist two pools of cholesterol in the AChR-rich Torpedo electroplax membrane: an easily depleted fraction that influences bulk fluidity, and a tightly-bound fraction perhaps surrounding the AChR oligomer." @default.
