    Abstract:
    The structures of [3H]pargyline-labeled, flavin-containing polypeptides of monoamine oxidase (MAO) from hybrid NCB20 cells, and their parental cells, A/J mouse brain cells and Chinese hamster brain cells, were analyzed and compared by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and limited proteolysis and one-dimensional peptide mapping in SDS gels. After preincubation of mitochondrial preparations with deprenyl or clorgyline, the flavin-containing polypeptide of type A or type B MAO was selectively labeled with [3H]pargyline. SDS-PAGE of [3H]pargyline-labeled mitochondrial samples revealed that the polypeptide with apparent Mr of 62,000 was associated with type A activity in the three types of cells, and that the polypeptide with apparent Mr of 61,000 or 58,000 was associated with type B activity in Chinese hamster brain cells and NCB20 cells or A/J mouse brain cells, respectively. Chymotrypsin digestion of the [3H]pargyline-labeled polypeptides and the peptide mapping in SDS gels from A/J mouse and Chinese hamster brain cells produced identical map patterns between the two type A MAOs, almost the same map patterns (with the exception of one additional peptide fragment) between the two type B MAOs, and different map patterns between type A and type B MAOs. The results of identical treatments of the [3H]pargyline-labeled polypeptides of MAOs in NCB20 cells showed that type A and type B MAO in NCB20 cells were similar to type A MAO of A/J mouse and Chinese hamster brain cells and to type B MAO of Chinese hamster brain cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
