Preparation of Crude Subcellular Fractions by Differential Centrifugation
The employment of differential centrifugation to prepare crude fractions of subcellular particles from homogenates is often a necessary first step to a subsequent purification of one or more particles on a density gradient.

Lipid composition of subcellular particles of human blood platelets
Human platelets can be fractionated into three main subcellular components: granules, membranes, and a soluble fraction. In this study we determined the phospholipid and neutral lipid content of the granules and membranes.

During myocardial ischemia increased levels of lysoglycerophospholipids have been reported which may be deleterious to myocardial function. Phospholipases are presumed to be important in the regulation of this process.

De novo synthesis and elongation of fatty acids by subcellular fractions of monkey aorta
Subcellular fractions of aorta of squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) were examined for their ability to synthesize and elongate fatty acids. High-speed supernate (HSS) incorporated substantial quantities of malonyl CoA into fatty acids while acetyl CoA ...

Distribution of chromaffin secretory vesicles, acetylcholinesterase, and lysosomal enzymes in sucrose and percoll gradients [PDF]
Crude chromaffin secretory vesicles, obtained by differential centrifugation, were further purified on isotonic (Percoll) gradients. The chromaffin vesicle fractions recovered from the gradients contain acetylcholinesterase as well as lysosomal enzymes ...

Protein synthesis at synaptic sites on dendrites [PDF]
Studies over the past 20 years have revealed that gene expression in neurons is carried out by a distributed network of translational machinery. One component of this network is localized in dendrites, where polyribosomes and associated membranous ...

Biochemical analysis of TssK, a core component of the bacterial Type VI secretion system, reveals distinct oligomeric states of TssK and identifies a TssK–TssFG subcomplex [PDF]
Gram-negative bacteria use the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to inject toxic proteins into rival bacteria or eukaryotic cells. However, the mechanism of the T6SS is incompletely understood. In the present study, we investigated a conserved component of

A simple protocol for the subcellular fractionation of skeletal muscle cells and tissue
Background We describe a method for subcellular fractionation of mouse skeletal muscle, myoblast and myotubes to obtain relatively pure fractions of nuclear, cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments.

Alterations in the mitochondrial proteome of neuroblastoma cells 2 in response to complex 1 inhibition [PDF]
Increasing evidence points to mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with complex I dysfunction, but the exact pathways which lead to cell death have not been resolved.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
