title: The in vitro reassembly of rough endoplasmic reticulum: ribosome binding capacity.
abstract: Rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes were dissolved in 1% deoxycholate and the deoxycholate was then dialysed out for five days. Well-defined bilayer vesicles were formed only if the dialysis was performed at room temperature for the first six hours. The vesicles were separated into a pelleted fraction (Fraction 1) and a fluffy layer (Fraction II) by centrifugation. As measured by amino acid incorporation ability, Fraction II bound polysomes, while Fraction I did not. When smooth endoplasmic reticulum was assembled, it was found that Fraction II so derived had a polysome binding capacity which was more sensitive to increased KCl concentrations (25 mM - 100 mM KCl) and that it bound significantly more monosomes than the corresponding fraction derived from rough membranes. The SDS-polyacrylamide polypeptide patterns of the various fractions were compared.
