Subcellular components were obtained from pig platelets, disrupted by means of a French press and separated into 4 primary fractions. The granule fraction (10 000 g) was subjected to a sucrose gradient fractionation. Primary fractions and the granule subfractions were studied electron microscopically and biochemically by following the distribution of markers of membranes, lysosomes of α-granules, mitochondria and dense granules. With this technique of platelet homogenization, 80% of the serotonin and 93% of theβ-N-acetylglucosaminidase were found to be particulate. In the gradient, mitochondria were sharply banded in a fraction (density 1.16–1.17) having a specific activity 10–100 times higher than the other fractions of the gradient. Serotonin-containing granules were found in a pellet of density greater than 1.27 and contained 60% of the serotonin and adenine nucleotides of the granule fraction. The lysosome markers that were monitored, acid phosphatase andβ-N-acetylglucosaminidase, exhibited different distribution patterns. Acid phosphatase showed the highest specific activity in the microsomal fraction with only 2.8% in the granule fraction, and this latter amount also appeared to be associated with membranes upon further fractionation.β-N-Acetylglucosaminidase was present in both the granule fraction and in the microsomal fraction with nearly the same specific activity. However, that present in the granule fraction was clearly associated with granules that distributed over a wide range of densities on a sucrose gradient. The calcium distribution was followed to attempt to determine its subcellular location; 19% was found in the same subfraction as the serotonin-containing granules, but at least 50% of the particulate calcium was associated with granules distinctly separate from the storage granules.
