Abstract
Plasma membranes isolated from rat liver by two-phase partition exhibited dehydrogenase activities for ascorbate free radical (AFR) and ferricyanide reduction in a ratio of specific activities of 1 : 40. NADH-AFR reductase could not be solubilized by detergents from plasma membrane fractions. NADH-AFR reductase was inhibited in both clathrin-depleted membrane and membranes incubated with anti-clathrin antiserum. This activity was reconstituted in plasma membranes in proportion to the amount of clathrin-enriched supernatant added. NADH ferricyanide reductase was unaffected by both clathrin-depletion and antibody incubation and was fully solubilized by detergents. Also, wheat germ agglutinin only inhibited NADH-AFR reductase. The findings suggest that NADH-AFR reductase and NADH-ferricyanide reductase activities of plasma membrane represent different levels of the electron transport chain. The inability of the NADH-AFR reductase to survive detergent solubilization might indicate the involvement of more than one protein in the electron transport from NADH to the AFR but not to ferricyanide.
