Structural phase transitions involved in the interaction of phospholipid bilayers with octyl glucoside.
The transitional stages induced by the interaction of the nonionic surfactant octyl glucoside (OcOse) on phosphatidylcholine liposomes were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), light scattering and permeability changes. A linear correlation was observed between the effective surfactant/lipid molar ratio (Re; three-stage model proposed for liposome solubilization) and the ...
متن کاملAn enzymatically driven membrane reconstitution from solubilized components
Acyltransferase activity is present in a variety of membranes species, including liver microsomes. The substrates of this enzyme are lysophosphatides and acyl CoA derivatives. We have found that the detergent effect of these substrates can be used to solubilize rat liver microsomes. If the solubilized fraction in incubated, the acyltransferase acylates the lysophosphatide and thereby degrades t...
متن کاملReconstitution of protein translocation activity from partially solubilized microsomal vesicles.
We have used a reconstitution assay to demonstrate that protein translocation activity can be recovered after microsomal vesicles derived from the rough endoplasmic reticulum have been partially solubilized with n-octyl-beta-glucopyranoside. Two independent approaches were used to establish conditions for partially solubilizing microsomal membranes. When the lipid bilayer was disrupted by deter...
متن کاملActivation of the superoxide forming NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Absolute lipid dependence of the solubilized enzyme.
The superoxide (O2-)-forming NADPH oxidase of resting macrophages can be activated in a cell-free system by certain anionic amphiphiles, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). O2- production requires the cooperation of membrane-associated and cytosolic components. The membrane component can be solubilized by octyl glucoside yielding a highly active oxidase preparation. High performance gel filtr...
متن کاملReconstitution of rabbit thrombomodulin into phospholipid vesicles.
The influence of phospholipid on thrombin-thrombomodulin-catalyzed activation of protein C has been studied by incorporating thrombomodulin into vesicles by dialysis from octyl glucoside-phospholipid mixtures. Thrombomodulin was incorporated into vesicles ranging from neutral (100% phosphatidylcholine) to highly charged (30% phosphatidylserine and 70% phosphatidylcholine). Thrombomodulin is ran...
