    Notes: Abstract A coupling factor necessary for the photophosphorylation and Mg2+-ATPase activities of Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores has been separated from these particles. Although the redox potential of coupling factor deficient chromatophores is slightly more oxidized than of the control, the addition of the coupling factor for reconstitution does not alter the redox potential. Phenazine methosulfate cannot restore or significantly enhance the photophosphorylation activities of uncoupled or reconstituted chromatophores compared to the control. The coupling factor can bind to coupling factor deficient membranes without addition of magnesium ions and thus restore the photophosphorylation and Mg2+-ATPase activities of these vesicles. The Ca2+-ATPase in the coupling factor preparation shows binding characteristics similar to those of the coupling factor.

    Notes: When human erythrocytes are depleted of endogenous ATP they release spectrin-free vesicles as a light vesicle fraction [Lutz et al: J Cell Biol 73:548, 1977] and chains of rounded vesicles as well as flattened myelin forms in a heavy vesicle fraction. The heavy fraction retains some spectrin, and glycophorin is partially degraded. The release of both types of fragments is not dependent upon added Ca+2, and 50 μM EGTA does not prevent the vesicle release. Concomitant with vesicle release, a large fraction of the major protein components of the cell is found in disulfide-bonded aggregates.A protocol is outlined to recover erythrocyte-specific fragments from thrombocyte-rich plasma. It allows detection of spectrin-free vesicles in whole blood stored under blood bank conditions for 12 days. In freshly drawn blood no such vesicles are observed, but particles are obtained that are different from thrombocyte fragments and that show a prominent glycoprotein running slightly faster than glycophorin.
