The distribution of gangliosides in subcellular fractions of guinea-pig cerebral cortex.
Gangliosides are acidic, acid-sensitive, nondialysable, water-soluble lipids containing Nacetylneuraminic acid, hexosamine, hexoses and ceramides which in the brain occur mainly in grey matter. The aim of the present investigation was to study the localization of gangliosides in the cerebral cortex by following their distribution in subcellular fractions, neuraminic acid content being used as m...
متن کاملInhibition by neomycin of polyphosphoinositide turnover in subcellular fractions of guinea-pig cerebral cortex in vitro.
The addition of 10(-5) M to 10(-3) M neomycin to incubations of subcellular fractions of guineapig cerebral cortex increased the labelling of phosphatidylinositol phosphate and decreased the labelling of phosphatidylinositol diphosphate by [gamma-32P]ATP. The effect was observed in all subcellular fractions tested and depended on the cationic form of the antibiotic. Similar effects on lipid lab...
متن کاملThe distribution of free amino acids in subcellular fractions of guinea-pig brain.
1. The free amino acids of homogenates of guinea-pig brain in 0.32m-sucrose and of subcellular fractions derived therefrom have been estimated by the method of Moore & Stein. 2. Seven amino acids together accounted for over 80% of the free amino compounds; these are, in decreasing order of abundance: glutamate, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyrate, glycine, serine, alanine and threonine. In addition,...
متن کاملDistribution of lipids in subcellular particles of guinea-pig brain.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that lipids act as essential structural elements in the multienzyme systems associated with the cell organelles. Many of the enzymes of the electron-transport chain in mitochondria can be isolated as discrete lipoproteins (Green, 1959), and the phospholipid contained in these is essential for enzymic activity (Reich & Wainio, 1961). Moreover, lipids play a f...
متن کاملSubcellular Distribution in Rat Cerebral-cortex Slices
1. Rat cerebral-cortex slices were incubated with 32pl, acetylcholine and eserine for periods of 10min and 2h. The specific radioactivity of phosphatidylinositol was elevated during these treatments by 36 and 106% respectively. 2. The specific radioactivities of the phosphatidylinositol in different cell structures were determined after subcellular fractionation. They were highest in the nuclea...
