Fig. 3. Glycerol gradient velocity sedimentation of wild-type CSPs (cDNA1), CLP,
SSP, CSLP, L
8 and C
27 in null-mutant (U1) and wild-type (WT)
backgrounds. S, supernatant; P, pellet, SP soluble proteins; SV, synaptic
vesicles; PM, plasma membrane. The gradient was allowed to develop overnight
from 5% to 25% in 5% steps. Wild-type CSPs migrate in the synaptic vesicle
fractions whereas SSP and CLP comigrate with the soluble control protein
SAP47. A significant portion of CSLP, L
8 and C
27 appears to
comigrate with the plasma membrane fraction identified by the PM protein
syntaxin (SYX).
