Cholesterol modulates alkaline phosphatase activity of rat intestinal microvillus membranes.
Experiments were conducted, using a nonspecific lipid transfer protein, to vary the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio of rat proximal small intestinal microvillus membranes in order to assess the possible role of cholesterol in modulating enzymatic activities of this plasma membrane. Cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratios from 0.71 to 1.30 were produced from a normal value of 1.05 by incubati...
متن کاملAnalysis of human intestinal microvillus membranes by two-dimensional electrophoresis
Treatment with SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol for 40min resulted in the solubilization of 66% of the total GBM protein. The amount of material solubilized gradually increased over the time period studied, until approx. 80% had been solubilized at 16 h. The amount of glycine, 4-hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, three amino acids representative of collagen, increased with time in the soluble fractions...
متن کاملNew BODIPY lipid probes for fluorescence studies of membranes.
Many fluorescent lipid probes tend to loop back to the membrane interface when attached to a lipid acyl chain rather than embedding deeply into the bilayer. To achieve maximum embedding of BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) fluorophore into the bilayer apolar region, a series of sn-2 acyl-labeled phosphatidylcholines was synthesized bearing 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bo...
متن کاملIdentification of intestinal ion transport defects in microvillus inclusion disease.
Loss of function mutations in the actin motor myosin Vb (Myo5b) lead to microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and death in newborns and children. MVID results in secretory diarrhea, brush border (BB) defects, villus atrophy, and microvillus inclusions (MVIs) in enterocytes. How loss of Myo5b results in increased stool loss of chloride (Cl(-)) and sodium (Na(+)) is unknown. The present study used...
متن کاملFluorescence polarization of green fluorescence protein.
We report here the striking anisotropy of fluorescence exhibited by crystals of native green fluorescence protein (GFP). The crystals were generated by water dialysis of highly purified GFP obtained from the jellyfish Aequorea. We find that the fluorescence becomes six times brighter when the excitation, or emission, beam is polarized parallel (compared with perpendicular) to the crystal long a...
