Solubilization of thyroid peroxidase by nonionic detergents.

J T Neary, B Davidson, A Armstrong

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |April 25, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nonionic detergents effectively solubilize thyroid peroxidase (TPO) from porcine thyroid membranes. This confirms TPO is an integral membrane protein, advancing thyroid research.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is crucial for thyroid hormone synthesis.
    • Understanding TPO's membrane association is key to its function.
    • Previous studies suggested TPO is an integral membrane protein.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of nonionic detergents in solubilizing TPO.
    • To determine if TPO is an integral membrane protein.
    • To characterize the solubilization process.

    Main Methods:

    • Solubilization of porcine thyroid particulate fraction using Triton X-100 and Brij detergents.
    • Centrifugation at 105,000 x g to isolate supernatant.
    • Sepharose 6B chromatography to assess peroxidase activity and solubilization.
    • Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for protein analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Nonionic detergents (Triton X-100, Brij series) effectively solubilized TPO (60-95% activity release).
    • Similar protein profiles were observed across different detergents via SDS-PAGE.
    • Sepharose 6B chromatography confirmed TPO solubilization, not membrane fragment dispersal (75-80% retardation).

    Conclusions:

    • Nonionic detergents successfully solubilize thyroid peroxidase.
    • These findings provide strong evidence that TPO is an integral membrane protein.
    • This study advances the understanding of TPO's biochemical properties and localization.
