Membrane-bound choline acetyltransferase in Torpedo electric organ: a marker for synaptosomal plasma membranes?

Abstract：

:The enzyme choline-O-acetyltransferase catalyses the biosynthesis of acetylcholine from acetyl coenzyme A and choline and is considered as one of the best markers for cholinergic nerve endings. The distribution of this enzymatic activity was analysed during the purification of plasma membranes of purely cholinergic nerve endings isolated from the electric organ of the fish Torpedo marmorata. This tissue, which receives a profuse and purely cholinergic innervation, can be considered as being a "giant" neuromuscular synapse. The isolated nerve endings (synaptosomes) were first osmotically disrupted and their plasma membranes isolated by equilibrium density centrifugation (discontinuous followed by continuous sucrose gradients). Choline acetyltransferase activity was found to exist in three forms: (1) a soluble form (the major one) present in the cytoplasm of the nerve endings, (2) a form which is ionically associated with membranes and which can be solubilized by washing exhaustively the membrane fraction with solutions of high ionic strength (0.5 M NaCl) and (iii) a form which is non-ionically bound to membranes and cannot be solubilized with high salt solution. The soluble and the non-ionically bound activities exhibited very similar affinities for choline (1.34 and 1.64 mM, respectively). The non-ionically membrane-associated form of choline acetyltransferase was found to "copurify" with the cholinergic synaptosomal plasma membranes of Torpedo, its specific activity being increased from 122 (crude fraction) to 475 (purified membrane fraction) nmol/h/mg protein. An enrichment was also observed for another cholinergic marker, the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, but not for the nicotinic receptor to acetylcholine, a marker for postsynaptic membranes. No choline acetyltransferase activity could be detected in preparations of synaptic vesicles that were highly purified from the electric organ. Also, the non-ionically associated form of choline acetyltransferase activity was hardly detectable (2.4 nmol/h/mg protein) in fractions enriched in axonal membranes prepared from the cholinergic electric nerves innervating the electric organ. The partition into soluble and membrane-bound activity was also analysed for choline acetyltransferase present in human placenta, a rich source for the enzyme but a non-innervated tissue. In this case the great majority of the enzyme appeared as soluble activity. Very low levels of non-ionically membrane-bound activity were found to be present in a crude membrane fraction from human placenta (2.8 nmol/h/mg protein).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
