| Abstract | The cellular distribution, membrane orientation, and biochemical properties of the two major NaOH-insoluble (integral) plasma membrane proteins of Euglena are detailed. We present evidence which suggests that these two polypeptides (Mr 68 and 39 kD) are dimer and monomer of the same protein: (a) Antibodies directed against either the 68- or the 39-kD polypeptide bind to both 68- and 39-kD bands in Western blots. (b) Trypsin digests of the 68- and 39-kD polypeptides yield similar peptide fragments. (c) The 68- and 39-kD polypeptides interconvert during successive electrophoresis runs in the presence of SDS and beta- mercaptoethanol. (d) The 39-kD band is the only major integral membrane protein evident after isoelectric focusing in acrylamide gels. The apparent shift from 68 to 39 kD in focusing gels has been duplicated in denaturing SDS gels by adding ampholyte solutions directly to the protein samples. The membrane orientation of the 39-kD protein and its 68-kD dimer has been assessed by radioiodination in situ using intact cells or purified plasma membranes. Putative monomers and dimers are labeled only when the cytoplasmic side of the membrane is exposed. These results together with trypsin digestion data suggest that the 39- kD protein and its dimer have an asymmetric membrane orientation with a substantial cytoplasmic domain but with no detectable extracellular region. Immunolabeling of sectioned cells indicates that the plasma membrane is the only cellular membrane with significant amounts of 39- kD protein. No major 68- or 39-kD polypeptide bands are evident in SDS acrylamide gels or immunoblots of electrophoresed whole flagella or preparations enriched in flagellar membrane vesicles, nor is there a detectable shift in any flagellar polypeptide in the presence of ampholyte solutions. These findings are considered with respect to the well-known internal crystalline organization of the euglenoid plasma membrane and to the potential for these proteins to serve as anchors for membrane skeletal proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
