It has been demonstrated that a glucosamine-containing macromolecular component of the cell surface of 3T3 mouse cells, and SV40-transformed cells, is released from cells by treatment with trypsin under conditions in which the plasma membrane remains functionally intact. This was shown by the fact that the treated cells could be cloned with high plating efficiency and remained impermeable to the vital stain, erythrocin. A method for specifically marking this surface component has been devised based on the finding that in 3T3 cells growing synchronously after subculture by trypsin maximum incorporation of glucosamine into this material occurs 12-13 h thereafter. Of the total radioactive glucosamine incorporated into macro-molecular cell constituents, over 80% was recovered in surface component. Studies on the biosynthesis of surface component revealed that this was periodic during a cycle of cell duplication, with an increased rate of formation immediately after cell division. It was found that the surface component of 3T3 cells differed from that of SV40-transformed cells.

Topographical descriptions of three major plasma membrane glycoproteins of murine 3T3 cells were obtained by immunoelectron microscopy with monoclonal antibodies. A glycoprotein of Mr 80,000 was distributed throughout the total cell surface. A second of Mr 90,000 was concentrated in coated pits, and a third of Mr 100,000 was localized at cell junctions.

Swiss 3T3 cells exhibit contact-regulated cell growth and have a lower ability to transport 2-deoxyglucose than polyoma (Py)-transformed 3T3 cells. Py3T3 cells treated with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3'5' monophosphate (dBcAMP) and theophylline have reduced cell growth and transport 2-deoxyglucose at the same rate as normal 3T3 cells. Evidence that the cessation of cell growth and reduced transport abilities in Py3T3 cells does not represent a return to contact-regulated growth comes from the following observations. First, treating high density Py3T3 cells with dBcAMP allows more than two doublings of cell number, even though ability to transport 2-deoxyglucose is returned to levels equal to those of normal 3T3 cells. Second, dBcAMP prevents serum-stimulated increases in 2-deoxyglucose transport in Py3T3 but not in 3T3 cells.

When actively growing cells of Escherichia coli 15T− were treated with the new antibiotic myxin, the effects produced by the antibiotic varied, depending on the concentration. With a concentration of 1 μg/ml, the action was bacteriostatic for the first 60 min exposure. Cell division was inhibited but there was no apparent effect on macromolecular synthesis as evidenced by the formation of filamentous cells. At higher concentrations (3 and 5 μg/ml), myxin was bactericidal although some cell elongation occurred at the 3 μg/ml level. Microscopic examination of cells treated with 3 and 5 μg/ml for 30–45 min indicated the presence of vacuolated areas which thin section studies revealed as intracellular ramifications of the plasma membrane. Protoplasts of cells grown in the presence of 5 μg/ml myxin were enlarged or rapidly lysed even after as little as 15 min exposure. Myxin has no effect on the cell surface of control protoplasts. No abnormal development of the plasma membrane was noted in the elongated cells formed in the presence of 1 μg/ml myxin. Except for the lack of septation during the first 60 min, the filamentous forms appeared normal with well-defined nuclear bodies distributed throughout the cell.

A specifically marked surface component from 3T3 mouse cells and from SV-40 transformed 3T3 cells has been isolated and partially purified. These components have been shown to be free of RNA, DNA, and lipid. They do contain carbohydrate and peptide, probably as glycoprotein.
