[Electrophoresis and electrofocusing of rhodopsin solubilized by triton X-100]. 1976

S A Shukoliukov, and E P Chizhevich, and V P Korchagin, and V V Osipov, and V A Tiurin

Detergent-rhodopsin micells (component I) were separated from other fast and slow migrating protein components under electrophoresis of triton X-100 solubilized bovine rod outer segments (ROS). Treatment of ROS by alum caused a complete disappearance of non-rhodopsin proteins and the appearance of slow migrating band (component II). Preliminary bleaching of dark extracts did not affect the migration rate of the component I. The addition of urea to solubilizing mixture caused the increase of component I content and the diffusity components I and II bands. The rate of electrophoretic migration and the content of components I and II sharply decreased together with the appearance of fast migrating pink-brown band after the addition of 2-mercaptoethanol. The extracts from alum-treated ROS were separated into 15-20 protein bands under acrylamide gel isoelectric focusing. Such protein heterogeneity probably depended on the ability of triton X-100 to form micells with different isoelectric points during the interaction with ampholines in the electric field. These micells, having different isoelectric points, are shown to contain one and the same protein--opsin.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012168 Retinal Pigments Photosensitive protein complexes of varied light absorption properties which are expressed in the PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS. They are OPSINS conjugated with VITAMIN A-based chromophores. Chromophores capture photons of light, leading to the activation of opsins and a biochemical cascade that ultimately excites the photoreceptor cells.
