Abstract
Rough and smooth microsomes were shown to have similar sets of polypeptide chains except for the proteins of ribosomes bound to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). More than 50 species of polypeptides were detected by acrylamide gel electrophoresis, ranging in molecular weight from 10,000 to approximately 200,000 daltons. The content of rough and smooth microsomes was separated from the membrane vesicles using sublytic concentrations of detergents and differential centrifugation. A specific subset of proteins which consisted of approximately 25 polypeptides was characteristic of the microsomal content. Some of these proteins showed high rates of in vivo incorporation of radioactive leucine or glucosamine, but several others incorporated only low levels of radioactivity within short labeling intervals and appeared to be long-term residents of the lumen of the ER. Seven polypeptides in the content subfractions, including serum albumin, contained almost 50% of the leucine radioactivity incorporated during 5 min and cross-reacted with antiserum against rat serum. Almost all microsomal glycoproteins were at least partly released with the microsomal content.Keywords
