Identification, isolation, and partial characterization of a fatty acid binding protein from rat jejunal microvillous membranes.

چکیده
The mechanisms by which FFA are absorbed by the gut are unclear. To examine these processes, binding of [14C]oleate to isolated rat jejunal microvillous membranes (MVM) was studied in vitro. When [14C]oleate alone or compounded with bovine serum albumin at various molar ratios was incubated with MVM aliquots, binding was time- and temperature-dependent, inhibitable by addition of excess cold oleate, and decreased by heat denaturation or trypsin digestion of the membranes. When [14C]oleate binding to heat denatured MVM, which increased continuously as a function of the free oleate concentration and was taken as a measure of nonspecific binding, was subtracted from total binding to native MVM, a curve suggestive of saturable specific binding was observed. In contrast to fatty acids, there was no specific binding of [14C]taurocholate or [35S]sulfobromophthalein to jejunal MVM. After MVM solubilization with 1% Triton X-100, affinity chromatography over oleate-agarose and elution with 7 M urea yielded a single 40,000-mol-wt protein. This Sudan Black/periodic acid-Schiff-stain-negative protein co-chromatographed on Sephadex G-100 with [14C]oleate, [14C]palmitate, [14C]arachidonate, and [14C]linoleate, but not with the [14C]oleate ester of cholesterol, [14C]phosphatidylcholine, [14C]taurocholate, or [35S]sulfobromophthalein. A rabbit antibody to the previously reported hepatic membrane fatty acid binding protein (FABP) gave a single line of immunologic identity between the FABPs of rat jejunum and rat liver membrane. It inhibited the binding of [14C]oleate to native MVM but not heat denatured MVM, and, in immunohistochemical studies, demonstrated the presence of the FABP in the apical and lateral portions of the brush border cells of the jejunum, but not on the luminal surface of esophagus or colon. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that a specific FABP plays a role in fatty acid absorption from the gut.

When [14C]oleate-bovine serum albumin complexes were incubated in vitro with rat liver plasma membranes (LPM), specific, saturable binding of oleate to the membranes was observed. Maximal heat-sensitive (i.e., specific) binding was 3.2 nmol/mg of membrane protein. Oleate-agarose affinity chromatography of Triton X-100-solubilized LPM was used to isolate a single 40-kDa protein with high affinit...
متن کاملUptake of fatty acids by jejunal mucosal cells is mediated by a fatty acid binding membrane protein.
The previous identification of a membrane fatty acid binding protein (MFABP) in brush border plasma membranes of the jejunum suggested that mucosal cell uptake of fatty acids might represent a carrier-mediated transport system. For evaluation of this hypothesis cellular influx kinetics (V0) of [3H]-oleate were examined in isolated rat jejunal mucosal cells. With increasing unbound oleate concen...

Folate binding protein may participate in folate homeostasis by regulating monoglutamyl folate transport across relevant cell membranes. We compared the activity, immunoreactivity, and transcripts of folate binding protein in pig liver, kidney, and jejunal mucosa and their relevant cell membranes. Binding of [3H]folic acid was sixfold greater to pig liver plasma membranes than to kidney brush-b...
