Transmembrane electrophoresis of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate through egg lecithin liposome membranes

Abstract: Valinomycin has been shown to increase the amount of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) bound to egg lecithin liposomes and also to increase the maximum fluorescence value, as derived from double reciprocal plots. The assay conditions were such that addition of valinomycin would not produce a transmembrane potential. The formation of a valinomycin potassium ANS complex in the micelle membrane is proposed. This could account for the increase in the maximum fluorescence value and, by acting as an ANS transpo… Show more

“…Acceleration of the rate of ANS-transport across bilayer membranes in the presence of valinomycin and K + has been reported by Gains and Dawson (1975). In this section, we extend this observation to 35 neutral ionophore and cation combinations and we will discuss the mechanism by which neutral ionophores catalyze ANS-transport.…”

“…As this reflects the change of the transmembrane electric potential difference, only the hydrolytic activity of the correctly reconstituted ATPases is measured. ANS responds very rapidly to changes in the membrane potential (ms range) [25,42,43]. Thus, the slow rise of ANS fluorescence (s range) observed here (see Fig.…”

“…They found the rate of entry to be slow, taking up to an hour to reach completion. Gains and Dawson (1975b), while confirming the slow rate of penetration of ANS into liposomes, have pointed out the danger of drawing too close an analogy between experiments performed on such widely differing systems.…”

“…They, however, were of the opinion that the corresponding change in submitochondrial particles was almost completely caused by an enhance~t binding. Gains and Dawson (1975b) have reported that the addition of valinomycin to lecithin liposomes suspended in media containing potassium ions both accelerates the rate of penetration of ANS and leads to changes in ANS fluorescence yield even in the absence of a transmembrane potential. They suggest that these changes might be attributed to an association between ANS and a valinomycin potassium complex.…”
