2. Several techniques were used to study the degree of translocation of truncated intermediates in the synthesis of an integral membrane protein (with a single transmembrane domain). Experiments were performed in the presence of SRP and canine pancreatic microsomes. The intermediates were synthesized using a rabbit reticulocyte translation system in the presence of 35S-methionine. Of the techniques used to monitor the progress of synthesis and translocation/insertion,| we are concerned with the following: Sedimentation: chains associated with the microsomes are found in the pellet of a 75,000 rpm ultracentrifuge spin. Crosslinks: a photoreactive phenylalanine derivative was incorporated into the truncated chain, and crosslinking to protein and lipid was analyzed after photo-activation. The intermediates studied using these approaches had between 40 and 154 amino acids. All truncated proteins with more than 60 amino acids sediment by centrifugation at neutral pH, while only…
