We have analyzed brain coated vesicles and synaptic plasma membrane for the presence of the plasma membrane proteolipid protein. Coated vesicles were isolated from calf brain gray matter with a final purification on Sephacryl S‐1000 and reisolated twice by chromatography to ensure homogeneity. Fractions were analyzed by gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting for clathrin heavy chain, and by electron microscopy. Using an immunoblotting assay we were able to demonstrate the presence of the plasma membrane proteolipid protein in these coated vesicles at a significant level (i.e., approximately 1% of the bilayer protein of these vesicles). Reisolation of coated vesicles did not diminish the concentration of the protein in this fraction. Removal of the clathrin coat proteins or exposure of the coated vesicles to 0.1MNa2CO3showed that the plasma membrane proteolipid protein is not removed during uncoating and lysis but is intrinsic to the membrane bilayer of these vesicles. These studies demonstrate that plasma membrane proteolipid protein represents a significant amount of the bilayer protein of coated vesicles, suggesting that these vesicles may be a transport vehicle for the intracellular movement of the plasma membrane proteolipid protein. Isolation of synaptic plasma membranes from adult rat brain and estimation of the plasma membrane proteolipid protein content using the immunoblotting method confirmed earlier studies that show this protein is present in this membrane fraction at high levels as well (approximately 1‐2%). The level of this protein in the synaptic plasma membrane suggests that the synaptic plasma membrane is one major site to which these vesicles may be targeted or from which the protein is being retrieved.
