Subcellular distribution of acetylcholinesterase forms in chromaffin cells

Abstract: The presence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in chromaffin granules has been controversial for a long time. We therefore undertook a study of AChE molecular forms in chromaffin cells and of their distribution during subcellular fractionation. We characterized four main AChE forms, three amphiphilic forms (G1a· G2a and G4a), and one non‐amphiphilic form (G4na). Each form shows the same molecular characteristics (sedimentation, electrophoretic migration, lectin interactions) in the different subcellular fractions… Show more

“…In both PC12 and adrenal chromaffin cells, PIKfyve was present in membrane and cytosol fractions. We also ran an equal amount of purified chromaffin granule membranes prepared as previously described (12,38,39). Importantly, PIKfyve immunoreactivity was also detected in the granule fraction, suggesting that PIKfyve may be recruited to large dense core vesicles and could play a role in secretory granule function.…”

“…Subcellular Fractionation and Immunoisolation-Bovine adrenal medulla were isolated, homogenized, and subjected to differential centrifugation, and purified chromaffin granules were obtained as described previously (27,28). Protein concentrations were determined by Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad).…”

“…In chromaffin cells, AChE has been reported to exist in the cell membrane and in different subcellular organelles (7,49). Bovine chromaffin cells also secrete AChE upon depolarizing stimulation and in the presence of Ca 2ϩ , suggesting an exocytotic mechanism, and thus the presence of the enzyme in some kind of secretory vesicle or endosome (51,58).…”
