- W2130880912 abstract "Abstract— Two membrane fractions were obtained from electric organ tissue of the electric eel by sucrose gradient centrifugation of tissue homogenates. Electron microscopic examination showed that both fractions contained mainly vesicular structures (microsacs). Both the light and heavy fractions had a-bungarotoxin-binding capacity and Na+-K+ ATPase activity, while only the light fraction had AChE activity. The polypeptide patterns of vesicles derived from both the light and heavy fractions were examined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and found to be very similar. The ratio of protein to phospholipid in the light vesicles was much lower than in the heavy vesicles, but the relative amounts of individual phospholipids in the two fractions were similar. A marked difference in the permeability of the light and heavy vesicles was observed by measuring efflux of both [14C]sucrose and 22Na+, and also by monitoring volume changes induced by changing the osmotic strength of the medium. All three methods showed the heavy vesicles to be much more permeable than the light ones. Only the light vesicles displayed increased sodium efflux in the presence of carbamylcholine. The AChE in the light fraction does not appear to be membrane-bound, but is rather a soluble enzyme, detached from the membrane during homogenization, which migrates on the gradient similarly to that of the light vesicles. This is supported by the fact that the bulk of the AChE is readily removed by washing the vesicles. Moreover, under the conditions employed in our sucrose gradient separations,‘native’14 S + 18 S AChE exists in the form of aggregates which migrate very similarly to the major peak of AChE activity of tissue homogenates. Separated innervated and non-innervated surfaces of isolated electroplax were obtained by microdissection. α-Bungarotoxin-binding capacity was observed only in the innervated membrane. About 80% of the AChE was in the innervated membrane, and about 70% of the Na+-K+ ATPase in the non-innervated membrane. The data presented indicate that the light and heavy vesicle fractions separated by sucrose gradient centrifugation are not derived exclusively from the innervated and non-innervated membranes respectively, as previously suggested by others, but contain membrane fragments from both sides of the electroplax. The separation of two populations on sucrose gradients may be explained both by the differences in permeability and in protein to phospholipid ratios." @default.
