Method Primary source [23] abstract: "The half-lives of turnover of plasma membrane proteins in rat hepatoma tissue, culture cells, and in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes have been analyzed after resolution by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Cell membranes were externally labeled via iodination catalyzed by lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase… The turnover rates of membrane proteins of primary cultures of rat hepatocytes were also determined with [3H]- and [35S]methionine labeling of cells." Primary source [24] abstract: "Plasma membrane proteins of intact mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and H4-II-E-C3 hepatoma cells were separated into two groups based on their compartmentation between the cell surface and an intracellular compartment accessible at 20 degrees C but not at 0 degrees C. One group was derivatized at 0 degrees C with sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(biotinamido)ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate but not at 20 degrees C. The second group was derivatized at 20 degrees C as well as at 0 degrees C. Derivatized proteins were isolated from 35S-labeled cells on streptavidin/agarose and resolved by two-dimensional PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)."
Comments P.206 left column bottom paragraph: "These turnover rates [of Cx43 (Connexin43) and Cx45 (Connexin45), 1 - 3 hours, BNID 117146] are much faster than average rates for integral membrane proteins measured in cultured hepatocytes (t1/2=17–100h)(primary source 23) or mouse 3T3 cells (t1/2>75h)(primary source 24)."
