Electroimmunochemical analysis of plasma membrane vesicles from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1982

J H Gerlach, and O J Bjerrum, and G H Rank

Plasma membrane vesicles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were extracted with 1% (w/v) Triton X-100 and the solubilized proteins examined by crossed immunoelectrophoresis using rabbit antibodies against the vesicles. Solubilization was shown to be nonselective and 23 immunoprecipitates were observed reproducibly. Four glycoproteins were identified by interaction with concanavalin A and lentil lectin, either immobilized on agarose beads in an intermediate gel or incorporated in the free form in the first dimension gel. One glycoprotein was stainable by the periodic acid--Schiff procedure. None of the glycoproteins had their origin in the cell wall. Five amphiphilic proteins were identified on the basis of charge-shift and hydrophobic interaction crossed immunoelectrophoresis as well as [14C]Triton X-100 and Sudan black B binding. Three of the amphiphilic proteins were also glycoproteins. Based on the carbohydrate content and amphiphilic properties of the proteins, purification schemes using concanavalin A-Sepharose and phenyl-Sepharose were proposed. Trial separations using 1-mL columns were monitored by fused rocket and crossed immunoelectrophoresis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D008565 Membrane Proteins Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors. Cell Membrane Protein,Cell Membrane Proteins,Cell Surface Protein,Cell Surface Proteins,Integral Membrane Proteins,Membrane-Associated Protein,Surface Protein,Surface Proteins,Integral Membrane Protein,Membrane Protein,Membrane-Associated Proteins,Membrane Associated Protein,Membrane Associated Proteins,Membrane Protein, Cell,Membrane Protein, Integral,Membrane Proteins, Integral,Protein, Cell Membrane,Protein, Cell Surface,Protein, Integral Membrane,Protein, Membrane,Protein, Membrane-Associated,Protein, Surface,Proteins, Cell Membrane,Proteins, Cell Surface,Proteins, Integral Membrane,Proteins, Membrane,Proteins, Membrane-Associated,Proteins, Surface,Surface Protein, Cell
