Fractionation of membrane proteins by temperature-induced phase separation in Triton X-114. Application to subcellular fractions of the adrenal medulla

Abstract: After solubilization with the detergent Triton X-114, membrane proteins may be separated into three groups: if the membrane is sufficiently lipid-rich, one family of hydrophobic constituents separates spontaneously at low temperature; warming at 30 degrees C leads to separation of a detergent-rich phase and an aqueous phase. Using the chromaffin-granule membrane as a model, we found that many intrinsic membrane glycoproteins are found in the latter phase, probably maintained in solution by adherent detergent. … Show more

“…Alternatively the mannosidase may be a peripheral membrane protein or an integral membrane protein with pronounced hydrophilic character. For example, heavily glycosylated proteins with a single transmembrane domain are often recovered in the aqueous phase of Triton X-214, due to self-association through the hydrophobic domains or detergent binding to these domains [33,34]. Similar behaviour has also been noted for integral membrane proteins such as Thy1 antigen, which are anchored to the membrane through an amphipathic phosphatidylinositol tail 1351.…”

“…Although this partitioning is not a solubilization protocol per se (Pryde, 1986), it allows an approximate determination of the hydrophobicity of a protein and has been successfully used in animal (Pryde and Phillips, 1986) and plant systems. A recent example is the resolution of the membrane localization of the fusicoccin receptor in Commelina communis tissues (Oecking et al, 1994).…”

“…The published method (Pryde and Phillips, 1986) was followed exactly with one exception: the aqueous phase obtained after the SUC cushion separation was used directly without dialysis. As a consequence, a small amount of contamination by the detergent phase may be present.…”
