The Proteins of Normal and Abnormal Tectorial Membranes

Pages 27-32 | Received 09 Mar 1979, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The proteins of the normal mouse tectorial membrane were analysed using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three major protein bands were found with molecular weights of 145 000, 155000 and 165 000, together with a number of minor components. Abnormal tectorial membranes from thiouracil-treated mice and from Deafness, Jerker, and Varitint-Waddler mutant mice were also examined in this way, but no evidence could be found to support the hypothesis that the distortion of the membranes might be due to an abnormal protein constitution. No PAS-positive material could be demonstrated in gels of normal membranes.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Die Proteine der normalen Membrana tectoria der Maus wurden durch SDS Polyacrylamid-Gel-EIektrophorese analysiert. Drei wichtige Proteinbänder mit Molekularge-wichten von 145 000, 155000 und 165000 und eine Anzahl kleinerer Teile, wurden gefunden. Abnorme Membrana tectoria von Mäusen, die man mit Thiouracil behandelte, und von Deafness-, Jerker- und Varitint-Waddler-Mutan-ten, wurden auch in dieser Weise geprüft, aber es gab keinen Beweis, die Hypothese zu bevorzugen, daβ eine abnorme Proteinbeschaffenheit die Verzerrung der Mem-branen hätte verursachen können. Kein PAS-positives Material lieβ sich in Gelen der normalen Membranen demonstrieren.
