1. The effects of glucagon, insulin and phenylephrine on the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic, mitochondrial and membrane proteins were studied in intact hepatocytes from 24 h-starved rats incubated with [32P]Pi. A rapid cell-fractionation technique was used, followed by radioautography of the proteins separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 2. Glucagon consistently caused a significant increase in the phosphorylation of four readily separable cytoplasmic phosphoproteins, of Mr 93000, 50000, 46000 and 20000, and a decrease in phosphorylation of a phosphoprotein of Mr 22000. Phosphorylation of the protein of Mr 46000 was also enhanced by both phenylephrine and insulin, and that of Mr 93000 by phenylephrine. 3. The phosphoprotein of Mr 22000 was not precipitated by boiling for 5 min, and had a mobility identical with that of similar protein whose phosphorylation is enhanced in the adipocyte by insulin [Belsham & Denton (1980) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 8, 382-383]. 4. Glucagon, but not phenylephrine or insulin, enhanced the phosphorylation of a mitochondrial protein of Mr 35000 and of four plasma- or microsomal-membrane proteins of Mr 50000, 30000, 23000 and 19000. 5. Mitochondria from glucagon-treated animals or hepatocytes phosphorylated a protein of Mr 30000 when incubated in vitro with [32P]Pi and ADP. Phosphorylation of this protein did not occur with mitochondria from control, phenylephrine- or insulin-treated cells. 6. The significance of these hormonally induced changes in protein phosphorylation is discussed.

1. N-Phenylmaleimide irreversibly inhibits pyruvate transport into rat heart and liver mitochondria to a much greater extent than does N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetate or bromopyruvate. alpha-Cyanocinnamate protects the pyruvate transporter from attack by this thiol-blocking reagent. 2. In both heart and liver mitochondria alpha-cyanocinnamate diminishes labelling by [3H]N-phenylmaleimide of a membrane protein of subunit mol.wt. 15000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 3. Exposure of mitochondrial to unlabelled N-phenylmaleimide in the presence of alpha-cyanocinnamate, followed by removal of alpha-cyanocinnamate and exposure to [3H]N-phenylmaleimide, produced specific labelling of the same protein. 4. Both labelling and kinetic experiments with inhibitors gave values for the approximate amount of carrier present in liver and heart mitochondria of 100 and 450 pmol/mg of mitochondrial protein respectively. 5. The turnover numbers for net pyruvate transport and pyruvate exchange at 0 degrees C were 6 and 200 min-1 respectively.

1. Guinea-pig caseins synthesized in a mRNA-directed wheat-germ cell-free protein-synthesizing system represent the primary translation products, even though they appear to be of lower molecular weight when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in parallel with caseins isolated from guinea-pig milk. 2. Identification of the N-terminal dipeptide of the primary translational product of caseins A, B and C and alpha-lactalbumin showed that all shared a common sequence, which was identified as either Met-Arg or Met-Lys. 3. Procedures utilizing methionyl-tRNAfMet or methionyl-tRNAMet in the presence or absence of microsomal membranes during translation provide a rapid method of distinguishing between N-terminal processing of peptides synthesized in vitro and other post-translational modifications (glycosylation, phosphorylation), which also result in a change in mobility of peptides when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 4. The results demonstrate that guinea-pig caseins, in common with most other secretory proteins, are synthesized with transient N-terminal ‘signal’-peptide extensions, which are cleaved during synthesis in the presence of microsomal membranes.

The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of several strains of Serratia marcescens have been studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate – urea – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four major OMPs, named Omp1, Omp2, Omp3, and OmpA (42, 40, 39, and 37 kDa, respectively), have been visualized. The relative proportions of Omp2 and Omp3 depend on cultural conditions (temperature of incubation, osmolarity, and nutrient availability).Key words: Serratia marcescens, outer membrane proteins, porin.

The functional distinction of membrane-bound and free polyribosomes for the synthesis of exportable and non-exportable proteins respectively is not so strict as was initially thought, and it was therefore decided to investigate their relative contribution to the elaboration of an internal protein integrated into a cell structure. Cytochrome c was chosen as an example of a soluble mitochondrial protein, and the incorporation of [14C]leucine and δ-amino[14C]laevulinate into the molecule was studied by using different ribosomal preparations from regenerating rat liver. A new procedure was devised for the purification of cytochrome c, based on ion-exchange chromatography combined with sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. In spite of cytochrome c being a non-exportable protein, the membrane-bound polyribosomes were at least as active as the free ribosomes in the synthesis in vitro of the apoprotein and the haem moiety. The detergent-treated ribosomes could also effect the synthesis of cytochrome c, although at a lower rate. Since in liver more than two-thirds of the ribosomes are bound to the endoplasmic-reticulum membranes, it is considered that in vivo they are responsible for the synthesis of most of the cytochrome c content of the cell. This suggests that in secretory tissues the endoplasmic reticulum plays a predominant role in mitochondrial biogenesis, although free ribosomes may participate in the partial turnover of some parts of the organelle. The hypothesis on the functional specialization of the different kinds of ribosomes was therefore modified to account for their parallel intervention in the synthesis of proteins associated with membranous structures.

The CDC28 gene was subcloned from a plasmid containing a 6.5-kilobase-pair segment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA YRp7(CDC28-3) by partial digestion with Sau3A and insertion of the resulting fragments into the BamHI sites of YRp7 and pRC1. Recombinant plasmids were obtained containing inserts of 4.4 and 3.1 kilobase pairs which were capable of complementing a cdc28(ts) mutation. R-loop analysis indicated that each yeast insert contained two RNA coding regions of about 0.8 and 1.0 kilobase pairs, respectively. In vitro mutagenesis experiments suggested that the smaller coding region corresponded to the CDC28 gene. When cellular polyadenylic acid-containing RNA, separated by agarose gel electrophoresis after denaturation with glyoxal and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane, was reacted with labeled DNA from the smaller coding region, and RNA species of about 1 kilobase in length was detected. Presumably, the discrepancy in size between the R-loop and electrophoretic determinations is due to a segment of polyadenylic acid which is excluded from the R-loops. By using hybridization of the histone H2B mRNAs to an appropriate probe as a previously determined standards, it was possible to estimate the number of CDC28 mRNA copies per haploid cell as between 6 and 12 molecules. Hybrid release translation performed on the CDC29 mRNA directed the synthesis of a polypeptide of 27,000 daltons, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. This polypeptide was not synthesized when mRNA prepared from a cdc28 nonsense mutant was translated in a parallel fashion. However, if the RNA from a cell containing the CDC28 gene on a plasmid maintained at a high copy number was translated, the amount of in vitro product was amplified fivefold.

SUMMARYPlasmodium knowlesi malaria-infected erythrocytes were radio-iodinated and several non-ionic, anionic and zwitterionic detergents were compared in their capacity to extract the labelled membrane proteins. The use of these detergents for antigen identification was tested by immunoprecipitation, after addition of Triton X-100 to some detergent extracts, using hyperimmune monkey antiserum and protein A-Sepharose. 125I-labelled antigens were specifically immunoprecipitated with all detergents tested, including the anionic detergents sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), deoxycholate and cholate; the zwitterions Zwittergent-312 and -314, CHAPS and Empigen BB, as well as several non-ionic detergents. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of 125I-labelled antigens varied after extraction with different detergents, there being no consistent pattern for detergents of a particular class. A total of 14 125I-labelled antigens were identified, 11 of them using Triton X-100. Some minor antigens identified with Triton X-100 were immunoprecipitated in greater amount after extraction in other detergents. Most importantly, two antigens Mr 200000 and 180000 were detected only after extraction with deoxycholate or SDS.

Protein Disulphide Isomerase

Protein disulphide-isomerase from bovine liver was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional electrophoresis and N-terminal amino acid analysis. The preparative procedure, a modification of that of Carmichael, Morin & Dixon [(1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 7163-7167], is much faster and higher-yielding than previous procedures, and the final purified material is of higher specific activity. The enzyme has Mr 57 000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, both in the presence and in the absence of thiol compounds. Gel-filtration studies on Sephadex G-200 indicate an Mr of 107 000, suggesting that the native enzyme is a homodimer with no interchain disulphide bonds. Ultracentrifugation studies give a sedimentation coefficient of 3.5S, implying that the enzyme sediments as the monomer. The isoelectric point, in the presence of 8 M-urea, is 4.2, and some microheterogeneity is detectable. The amino acid composition is comparable with previous analyses of this enzyme from bovine liver and of other preparations of thiol:protein disulphide oxidoreductases whose relation to protein disulphide-isomerase has been controversial. The enzyme contains a very high proportion of Glx + Asx residues (27%). The N-terminal residue is His. The pure enzyme has a very small carbohydrate content, determined as 0.5-1.0% by the phenol/H2SO4 assay. Unless specific steps are taken to remove it, the purified enzyme contains a small amount (5 mol/mol of enzyme) of Triton X-100 carried through the purification.
