Distribution of paralemmin among subcellular fractions of the purification course of chicken synaptic plasma membranes, in comparison to GAP-43 and amphiphysin. 25 μg of protein from each fraction was analyzed by immunoblotting. Fraction designations are as in Babitch et al. (1976). P2′″, washed 13,600 rpm pellet of brain homogenate (“mitochondrial pellet”). Fractions and subfractions of P2′″ after Ficoll step gradient: Fm, “mitochondrial fraction;” Scm and Pcm, “myelin supernatant and pellet;” Ss and Ps, “synaptosomal supernatant and pellet.” Fractions and subfractions after hypotonic lysis of Ps synaptosomes: Pls, “intrasynaptosomal mitochondria;” Phs, large membranes; Shs, cytosol and small vesicles. Saccharose step gradient fractions of Phs: 0/0.4, interface between 0 and 0.4 M saccharose, etc.; P, mitochondria-rich pellet. The course of purification of synaptic plasma membranes is P2′″–Ps–Phs; 0.4/0.6/0.8.
