title: Partial purification and functional reconstitution of GDP sensitive brown adipose tissue mitochondria uncoupling protein using octyl glucoside.
abstract: A partial purification of the uncoupling protein of brown adipose tissue mitochondria (BATM) was achieved by extraction of BATM with 40 mM octyl glucoside, followed by affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose. The isolated protein was functionally reconstituted into liposomes using octyl glucoside dialysis. Proteoliposomes containing the uncoupling protein had an increased proton or chloride conductance when subjected to a valinomycin-induced potassium diffusion potential. The increased ion conductance was consistently found to be inhibited by 200 microM GDP.
