To investigate the mechanism by which complex membrane proteins achieve their correct transmembrane orientation, we examined in detail the hepatitis B surface antigen for sequences which determine its membrane topology. The results demonstrated the presence of at least two kinds of topogenic elements: an N-terminal uncleaved signal sequence and an internal element containing both signal and stop-transfer function. Fusion of reporter groups to either end of the protein suggested that both termini are translocated across the membrane bilayer. We propose that this topology is generated by the conjoint action of both elements and involves a specifically oriented membrane insertion event mediated by the internal sequence. The functional properties of each element can be instructively compared with those of simpler membrane proteins and may provide insight into the generation of other complex protein topologies.

SummaryThe antibiotic vancomycin shares many similarities with ristocetin, an agent noted for its effects on platelets and plasma fibrinogen. Vancomycin did not aggregate platelets as ristocetin, but platelets were incorporated into precipitates induced by vancomycin. Fibrinogen and factor VIII were precipitated from plasma at low concentrations of vancomycin. The precipitated fibrinogen remained clottable. Hepatitis B surface antigen was selectively precipitated from serum and could be recovered from the precipitate. Rabbits receiving bolus intravenous injections of high doses of vancomycin developed hypofibrinogenemia and thrombocytopenia within minutes and often went on to die. Studies with 125I-vancomycin revealed little stable binding of the antibiotic to platelets or fibrinogen. A relationship is suggested between the potent protein precipitating effects and phlebitis at the infusion site commonly associated with vancomycin therapy.
