Torpedo californica electroplax
Polyclonal rabbit antibodies were raised against 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (SITS), an inhibitor of a variety of anion transport proteins. These antibodies specifically recognize SITSreacted erythrocyte band 3 in immunoprecipitations and Western blots. In Western blots of SITS-reacted membrane proteins derived from vesicles of the electric organ of Torpedo califor...
متن کاملReconstitution of functional membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from isolated Torpedo californica receptor protein and electroplax lipids.
Purified acetylcholine receptor and total lipids, both extracted from Torpedo californica electroplax, were utilized to reconstitute chemically excitable membrane vesicles. Reconstitution was achieved by dialysis of the extraction detergent, octyl beta-D-glucoside from protein/lipid incubation mixtures. The reconstituted preparations could be fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifuga...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor: characterization of the voltage-dependent regulatory (inhibitory) site for acetylcholine in membrane vesicles from Torpedo californica electroplax.
Evidence for a voltage-dependent regulatory (inhibitory) site on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to which acetylcholine binds was obtained in membrane vesicles prepared from the Torpedo californica electric organ. Two rate coefficients, JA and alpha, which pertain to the receptor-controlled ion flux, were measured. A 1000-fold concentration range of acetylcholine was used in a transmembran...
متن کاملDimeric structure of single chloride channels from Torpedo electroplax.
The inhibition by 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate (DIDS) of Cl- channels from Torpedo electroplax incorporated in planar phospholipid bilayer membranes is studied. DIDS irreversibly and rapidly inhibits the macroscopic conductance of membranes containing many channels. At the single-channel level, the effect of DIDS is more complicated. The uninhibited single channel displays three...
متن کاملSingle chloride channels from Torpedo electroplax. Activation by protons
Single-channel fluctuations of a chloride-specific channel from Torpedo californica electroplax were studied with high current and time resolution. Channels were incorporated into virtually solvent-free planar bilayer membranes formed from phospholipid monolayers, and the substructure of the open channel was analyzed. The single channel displays three well-defined substates of conductances 0, 1...
