Abstract:
The bound fractions of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and of fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase (ALD) were measured in intact Taenia coli. ALD was approximately 60% bound and GAPDH was approximately 41% bound. Bound ALD activity remaining in chemically demembranated Taenia coli was similar to that in intact tissue indicating a localization to the contractile apparatus. ALD was found to be specifically bound in the demembranated preparation. Chemical demembranation resulted in almost complete loss of all GAPDH activity indicating a localization of bound GAPDH to cellular membranes.
