title: Characterization of microvillar membrane proteins of dog small intestine by two-dimensional electrophoresis.
abstract: A method for analysing microgram amounts of microvillar membranes by two-dimensional electrophoresis (protein mapping) is described, and has been used to characterize the microvillar proteins of the small intestine of German shepherd, corgi, and beagle dogs. Detergent-solubilized microvillar membranes were radiolabelled with 14C and separated by isoelectric focussing followed by SDS-PAGE. Proteins were detected fluorographically and glycoproteins by lectin-affinity staining. The microvillar hydrolases alkaline phosphatase and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV were identified by active-site labelling and aminopeptidase N by immunoprecipitation. Changes following pancreatic duct diversion were consistent with accumulation of pro-sucrase-isomaltase and diminished expression of the sucrase and isomaltase subunits. Cytoskeletal proteins were concentrated in the core fraction remaining after extraction of microvillar membranes with Triton X-100. There were no consistent differences between dogs of different breed, and the canine protein maps were similar to the human.
