dc.description.abstract | Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to determine the composition of the aqueous phase of bovine chromaffin granules. Relative concentrations of catecholamines (epinephrine plus norepinephrine), ATP and chromogranins have been measured from integrated intensities in the proton spectra using computer simulation techniques. Most or all of the catecholamines (97 +/- 8%) are present in the aqueous phase and contribute to the high resolution spectrum. The catecholamine: ATP molar ratio (4.41 +/- 0.45) determined by NMR is close to the value (4.45) derived from biochemical assay indicating that most or all of the ATP is present with catecholamine in the aqueous phase. Catecholamine: protein ratios show that approximately 45% of the soluble protein freed by lysis is not NMR visible. Intensity from this fraction does not appear under highly denaturing conditions (8 M urea) but reappears after hydrolysis. This behavior is similar to that of recently isolated soluble lipoprotein complexes. Variations in the NMR spectra associated with (1) different preparative procedures; (2) different suspension media, and (3) increasing osmolality are described. The fact that high concentrations of epinephrine and ATP (approximately 700 mM total) are dissolved in the aqueous phase implies that solution phase interactions at least partially ionic in nature are responsible for the low internal osmolality of chromaffin granules in vivo. Ordered phases containing a substantial fraction of the total catecholamine in an osmotically inactive form are not present. | en_US |
