ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE OF RAT SYMPATHETIC GANGLION: MOLECULAR FORMS, LOCALIZATION AND EFFECTS OF DENERVATION

Abstract— In sucrose gradient centrifugation, acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7.) from the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) has been found to contain four molecular forms, characterized by their sedimentation coefficients (4 S, 6.5 S, 10 S and 16 S). Homogenization of the ganglia in various media showed that the 4 S enzyme was readily solubilized in water whereas solubilization of the 6.5 S and 10 S forms was quantitative only in media containing Triton X‐100. In order to solubilize the 16 S form, high concentrations of salt (NaCl 1 M) and detergent had to be present. AChE analysed by non‐denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated into five bands. Although both distribution patterns were stable, i.e. each form or band preserved its characteristic sedimentation or electrophoretic migration when reanalysed, there was no 1:1 correlation between the forms isolated by sedimentation and the bands obtained by electrophoresis: one band might contain more than one form of enzyme, and conversely one form gave rise to several bands. It was therefore impossible to derive molecular weights from electrophoretic migration in non‐denaturing gels. However, it could be shown that the results obtained by both methods of analysis were consistent.
