Materials and Methods Equilibrium Distribution of Palmitate between Lipid Bi-layers and Albumin. The equilibrium distribution of palmitate between unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine and albumin was determined by the method of Backer and Dawidowicz (1979). Bovine serum albumin (0.2 mM)(Sigma, essentially fatty acid free) in 10 mM tris (hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane (Tris), 100 mM KC1, and 1 mM ascorbate, pH 7.4, was mixed with palmitate at a mole ratio of 6: 1 (palmitate: albumin ratio). A trace amount of [14C] palmitic acid (Amersham) was included. This solution was diluted with 0.2 mM albumin to obtain various palmitate: albumin ratios. Vesicles were prepared from egg phosphatidylcholine (Sigma, type III-E in hexane) by sonication. They contained 10%(w/w) A'-palmitoyldihydrolactocerebroside (Sigma). The lipids then were sonicated to obtain a clear suspension that was centrifuged at lOOOOOg for 15 min in order to sediment undispersed material. Vesicles and complexes of albumin-palmitate were incubated at 37 C for 1 h. Following the incubation, a sample of the mixture was transferred to an Eppendorf tube, and 0.3 mg of lectin (RCA 120, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) was added to it. The mixture was mixed vigorously, keptat 37 C for 10 min, and centri-fuged for 10 min. Aliquots (200 qL) of the supernatant were then counted for [14C] palmitate. To correct for unprecipitated vesicles, vesicles that contained trace amounts of [14C] di-palmitoylphosphatidylcholine (Amersham) and cerebrosides were prepared, incubated with 0.2 mM albumin solution, and precipitated by lectins as described, and 200 µ of supernatant was counted for unprecipitated lipids. Theamounts of pal-mitate boundto albumin (in the supernatant) and to the lipid vesicles (in the pellet) were calculated at each palmitate: albumin ratio, and the equilibrium constant was calculated from the expression mol of palmitate (in vesicles)/mol of lipid
