摘要
A protein fraction has been obtained from detergent-solubilized mitochondrial membranes by its affinity for quinine, an inhibitor of K+ transport. A peptide derived from the predominant 53 kDa protein in this fraction is found to be identical in sequence to a portion of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Antigenically unrelated bands at 97, 77, 57, and 31 kDa are also seen on polyacrylamide gels. Observations utilizing a fluorescent probe entrapped in the lumen of membrane vesicles indicate that the reconstituted protein fraction imparts permeability to the K+ analog Tl+. These and other findings suggest that the affinity purified fraction includes a cation transport catalyst. © 1990.
