Restricted diffusion of tyrosine hydroxylase and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase from digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells.

Abstract: Tyrosine hydroxylase [TyrOHase; tyrosine 3-monooxygenase; L-tyrosie,tetrahydropteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14. 16.2] and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PMTase; S-adenosyl-L-methionine:phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, EC 2.1. 1.28) are involved in catecholamine biosynthesis and are considered soluble proteins. However, they may actually be localized on the surface of the chromaffin granule. We have used the detergent digitonin to permeabilize the plasma membrane of … Show more

“…As a final control, ATP-biotin was incubated with HeLa cells in the presence of lysates containing kinase activity and no biotin signal was observed (Figure S15A), which assures that biotinylation is independent of cell surface protein labeling. Treatment with APB was accompanied by a modest loss of total protein (Figure 4C, lane 10 and 11, bottom gel) compared with controls (Figure 4C, lane 8 and 9, bottom gel), which is similar to the levels of protein loss observed in previous cell permeability studies, [24] including experiments with the widely used cationic-based permeabilization reagents. [25] To assess APB cytotoxicity, a dose-dependent cell viability assay was performed.…”

“…The data shown in Figure 4 indicate that the profile of proteins released by Brij was very constant as a function of time and that there was no apparent sieving on the basis of size. The similarity of the profiles of proteins leaking from detergentpermeabilized cells has been noted before (Kelner et al, 1986;Kellermayer et al, 1986).…”

“…Accordingly, Kuczenski et al (20) demonstrated that brain TH associated with membranes is functionally more active than soluble brain TH. On the other hand, in chromaffin granules, the membrane-bound TH appears to be present in a "detergent-labile" association with the granule membrane (21) and exposed to the cytoplasm (19). Additionally, Morita et al (22) demonstrated that this association between TH and granule membranes is reversible and specific and that TH activity can be modulated through its association with the granule surface.…”
