The Triton-solubilized ADP-ATP carrier from beef heart mitochondria was studied as the carboxyatractylate (CAT) complex by sedimentation in sucrose gradients, gel filtration, and analytical ultracentrifugation. The measurements of Triton binding and sedimentation velocity were not possible unless excess Triton and phospholipid were separated by an additional sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The absorption optical system of the analytical ultracentrifuge was used to analyze a multicomponent system consisting of protein, bound Triton, free Triton micelles and Triton monomers. The isolated protein binds high amounts of Triton (1.5 g/g of protein) and phospholipid (0.25 g/g of protein) as would be expected for an intrinsic membrane protein. The sedimentation ocefficient, measured on sucrose gradients and in the analytical ultracentrifuge, was s20,w = 3.9 .times. 10-13 s. The diffusion coefficient, calculated from the Stokes'' radius (RS = 65 .ANG.) and determined in the analytical ultracentrifuge, was (3.4-3.5) .times. 10-7 cm2/s in both cases. The partial specific volume .hivin.v* of the protein-Triton-phospholipid complex was evaluated from the fractions of the individual components and from sedimentation equilibrium measurements in solutions of different densities (.hivin.v* = 0.845 cm3/g). The MW was calculated from the Svedberg equation (M* 184,000) and from sedimentation equilibrium measurements (M* 172,000). After subtraction of the bound Triton and phospholipid, MW 67,000 (63,000) was found for the protein moiety, indicating that the Triton-solubilized CAT-protein complex exists as a dimer composed of 2 peptide subunits. From geometrical considerations it is concluded that the protein is completely enveloped in an ellipsoid micelle of .apprx. 150 Triton and .apprx. 16 phospholipid molecules.
