Abstract
The ICARUS collaboration employed the 760-ton T600 detector in a successful 3-year physics run at the underground LNGS laboratory, performing a sensitive search for LSND-like anomalous ν e appearance in the CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam, which contributed to the constraints on the allowed neutrino oscillation parameters to a narrow region around 1 eV2 . After a significant overhaul at CERN, the T600 detector has been installed at Fermilab. In 2020 the cryogenic commissioning began with detector cool down, liquid argon filling and recirculation. ICARUS then started its operations collecting the first neutrino events from the booster neutrino beam (BNB) and the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam off-axis, which were used to test the ICARUS event selection, reconstruction and analysis algorithms. ICARUS successfully completed its commissioning phase in June 2022. The first goal of the ICARUS data taking will be a study to either confirm or refute the claim by Neutrino-4 short-baseline reactor experiment. ICARUS will also perform measurement of neutrino cross sections with the NuMI beam and several Beyond Standard Model searches. After the first year of operations, ICARUS will search for evidence of sterile neutrinos jointly with the Short-Baseline Near Detector, within the Short-Baseline Neutrino program. In this paper, the main activities carried out during the overhauling and installation phases are highlighted. Preliminary technical results from the ICARUS commissioning data with the BNB and NuMI beams are presented both in terms of performance of all ICARUS subsystems and of capability to select and reconstruct neutrino events.

Abstract
Final-state kinematic imbalances are measured in mesonless production of ν_{μ}+A→μ^{-}+p+X in the MINERvA tracker. Initial- and final-state nuclear effects are probed using the direction of the μ^{-}-p transverse momentum imbalance and the initial-state momentum of the struck neutron. Differential cross sections are compared to predictions based on current approaches to medium modeling. These models underpredict the cross section at intermediate intranuclear momentum transfers that generally exceed the Fermi momenta. As neutrino interaction models need to correctly incorporate the effect of the nucleus in order to predict neutrino energy resolution in oscillation experiments, this result points to a region of phase space where additional cross section strength is needed in current models, and demonstrates a new technique that would be suitable for use in fine-grained liquid argon detectors where the effect of the nucleus may be even larger.

Abstract
We report on multinucleon effects in low momentum transfer (<0.8 GeV/c) antineutrino interactions on plastic (CH) scintillator. These data are from the 2010-2011 antineutrino phase of the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab. The hadronic energy spectrum of this inclusive sample is well described when a screening effect at a low energy transfer and a two-nucleon knockout process are added to a relativistic Fermi gas model of quasielastic, Δ resonance, and higher resonance processes. In this analysis, model elements introduced to describe previously published neutrino results have quantitatively similar benefits for this antineutrino sample. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to accelerate the investigation of alternate models for antineutrino scattering off nuclei.

Abstract
Charged-current ν_{μ} interactions on carbon, iron, and lead with a final state hadronic system of one or more protons with zero mesons are used to investigate the influence of the nuclear environment on quasielasticlike interactions. The transferred four-momentum squared to the target nucleus, Q^{2}, is reconstructed based on the kinematics of the leading proton, and differential cross sections versus Q^{2} and the cross-section ratios of iron, lead, and carbon to scintillator are measured for the first time in a single experiment. The measurements show a dependence on the atomic number. While the quasielasticlike scattering on carbon is compatible with predictions, the trends exhibited by scattering on iron and lead favor a prediction with intranuclear rescattering of hadrons accounted for by a conventional particle cascade treatment. These measurements help discriminate between different models of both initial state nucleons and final state interactions used in the neutrino oscillation experiments.

Abstract
Neutral-current production of K^{+} by atmospheric neutrinos is a background in searches for the proton decay p→K^{+}ν[over ¯]. Reactions such as νp→νK^{+}Λ are indistinguishable from proton decays when the decay products of the Λ are below detection threshold. Events with K^{+} are identified in MINERvA by reconstructing the timing signature of a K^{+} decay at rest. A sample of 201 neutrino-induced neutral-current K^{+} events is used to measure differential cross sections with respect to the K^{+} kinetic energy, and the non-K^{+} hadronic visible energy. An excess of events at low hadronic visible energy is observed relative to the prediction of the neut event generator. Good agreement is observed with the cross section prediction of the genie generator. A search for photons from π^{0} decay, which would veto a neutral-current K^{+} event in a proton decay search, is performed, and a 2σ deficit of detached photons is observed relative to the genie prediction.

Abstract
The MINERvA experiment observes an excess of events containing electromagnetic showers relative to the expectation from Monte Carlo simulations in neutral-current neutrino interactions with mean beam energy of 4.5 GeV on a hydrocarbon target. The excess is characterized and found to be consistent with neutral-current π^{0} production with a broad energy distribution peaking at 7 GeV and a total cross section of 0.26±0.02(stat.)±0.08(sys.)×10^{-39} cm^{2}. The angular distribution, electromagnetic shower energy, and spatial distribution of the energy depositions of the excess are consistent with expectations from neutrino neutral-current diffractive π^{0} production from hydrogen in the hydrocarbon target. These data comprise the first direct experimental observation and constraint for a reaction that poses an important background process in neutrino-oscillation experiments searching for ν_{μ} to ν_{e} oscillations.

Abstract
Neutrino-induced charged-current coherent kaon production ν_{μ}A→μ^{-}K^{+}A is a rare, inelastic electroweak process that brings a K^{+} on shell and leaves the target nucleus intact in its ground state. This process is significantly lower in rate than the neutrino-induced charged-current coherent pion production because of Cabibbo suppression and a kinematic suppression due to the larger kaon mass. We search for such events in the scintillator tracker of MINERvA by observing the final state K^{+}, μ^{-}, and no other detector activity, and by using the kinematics of the final state particles to reconstruct the small momentum transfer to the nucleus, which is a model-independent characteristic of coherent scattering. We find the first experimental evidence for the process at 3σ significance.

Abstract
The first direct measurement of electron neutrino quasielastic and quasielasticlike scattering on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region of incident neutrino energy has been carried out using the MINERvA detector in the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The flux-integrated differential cross sections in the electron production angle, electron energy, and Q^{2} are presented. The ratio of the quasielastic, flux-integrated differential cross section in Q^{2} for ν_{e} with that of similarly selected ν_{μ}-induced events from the same exposure is used to probe assumptions that underpin conventional treatments of charged-current ν_{e} interactions used by long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The data are found to be consistent with lepton universality and are well described by the predictions of the neutrino event generator GENIE.

Abstract
Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current ν_{μ} interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and Δ(1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and Δ resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also have an enhanced population of multiproton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.

Abstract
Neutrino-induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei νμA→μ(±)π(∓)A is a rare, inelastic interaction in which a small squared four-momentum |t| is transferred to the recoil nucleus, leaving it intact in the reaction. In the scintillator tracker of MINERvA, we remove events with evidence of particles from nuclear breakup and reconstruct |t| from the final-state pion and muon. We select low |t| events to isolate a sample rich in coherent candidates. By selecting low |t| events, we produce a model-independent measurement of the differential cross section for coherent scattering of neutrinos and antineutrinos on carbon. We find poor agreement with the predicted kinematics in neutrino generators used by current oscillation experiments.

Abstract
We present measurements of ν(μ) charged-current cross section ratios on carbon, iron, and lead relative to a scintillator (CH) using the fine-grained MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The measurements utilize events of energies 2<E(ν)<20 GeV, with ⟨E(ν)⟩ = 8 GeV, which have a reconstructed μ(-) scattering angle less than 17° to extract ratios of inclusive total cross sections as a function of neutrino energy E(ν) and flux-integrated differential cross sections with respect to the Bjorken scaling variable x. These results provide the first high-statistics direct measurements of nuclear effects in neutrino scattering using different targets in the same neutrino beam. Measured cross section ratios exhibit a relative depletion at low x and enhancement at large x. Both become more pronounced as the nucleon number of the target nucleus increases. The data are not reproduced by GENIE, a conventional neutrino-nucleus scattering simulation, or by the alternative models for the nuclear dependence of inelastic scattering that are considered.

Abstract
Half of the recovered expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys are discarded in the United States. A new kidney allocation system offers kidneys at higher risk of discard, Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI)>85%, to a wider geographic area to promote broader sharing and expedite utilization. Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) based on the KDPI is a potential option to streamline allocation of kidneys which otherwise would have been discarded. To assess the clinical utility of the KDPI in kidneys at higher risk of discard, we analyzed the OPTN/UNOS Registry that included the deceased donor kidneys recovered between 2002 and 2012. The primary outcomes were allograft survival, patient survival and discard rate based on different KDPI categories (<80%, 80-90% and >90%). Kidneys with KDPI>90% were associated with increased odds of discard (OR=1.99, 95% CI 1.74-2.29) compared to ones with KDPI<80%. DKTs of KDPI>90% were associated with lower overall allograft failure (HR=0.74, 95% CI 0.62-0.89) and better patient survival (HR=0.79, 95% CI 0.64-0.98) compared to single ECD kidneys with KDPI>90%. Kidneys at higher risk of discard may be offered in the up-front allocation system as a DKT. Further modeling and simulation studies are required to determine a reasonable KDPI cutoff percentile.

Abstract
We report a study of ν(μ) charged-current quasielastic events in the segmented scintillator inner tracker of the MINERvA experiment running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The events were selected by requiring a μ- and low calorimetric recoil energy separated from the interaction vertex. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and study the low energy particle content of the final state. Deviations are found between the measured dσ/dQ² and the expectations of a model of independent nucleons in a relativistic Fermi gas. We also observe an excess of energy near the vertex consistent with multiple protons in the final state.

Abstract
We have isolated ν(μ) charged-current quasielastic (QE) interactions occurring in the segmented scintillator tracking region of the MINERvA detector running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and compare to several theoretical models of QE scattering. Good agreement is obtained with a model where the nucleon axial mass, M(A), is set to 0.99 GeV/c² but the nucleon vector form factors are modified to account for the observed enhancement, relative to the free nucleon case, of the cross section for the exchange of transversely polarized photons in electron-nucleus scattering. Our data at higher Q² favor this interpretation over an alternative in which the axial mass is increased.

Abstract
Extracellular plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2 (PAI-2) is a potent inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and also acts as a multifunctional protein. However, the biological activity of intracellular PAI-2, as well as its intracellular targets, until now remain an enigma. Here, we show that pRb2/p130 and Rb1/p105, but not p107, interact with PAI-2 in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of normal primary human corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells. We provided the first in vivo evidence that a specific fragment of the PAI-2 promoter is bound simultaneously by pRb2/ p130, PAI-2, E2F5, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), and histone methyltransferase (SUV39H1), in normal primary human corneal epithelial cells, and by pRb2/p130, PAI-2, E2F5, HDAC1, and DNMT1, in normal primary human conjunctiva epithelial cells. Our results strongly indicate a physiological interaction between pRb family members and PAI-2, suggesting the hypothesis that pRb2/p130 and PAI-2 may cooperate in modulating PAI-2 gene expression by chromatin remodeling, in normal corneal and conjunctival cells.

Abstract
The purpose was to characterize plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) expression in normal human conjunctiva in vivo and in vitro. PAI-2 antigen was assayed by immunostaining and immunoblotting of extracts from normal human conjunctival epithelial lysates and conditioned media (CM) of cultured human conjunctival keratinocytes. Immunostaining of normal human conjunctival epithelia revealed that PAI-2 was found consistently in the superficial keratinocytes and, in some biopsies, also in the lower keratinocyte layers. In all cases, PAI-2 was concentrated around the cell periphery. In extracts of conjunctival epithelia and cultured conjunctival keratinocytes, PAI-2 had an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa, consistent with the non-glycosylated form. The majority of PAI-2, approximately 90%, was cell associated, however, a small percentage of PAI-2 was released into the CM in a linear manner with time. PAI-2 in the conditioned medium had a higher molecular weight, consistent with a glycosylated form. Conjunctival PAI-2 was active, as shown by its ability to complex with a target enzyme, urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). Although PAI-2 was detectable both in monolayer (i.e., relatively undifferentiated) conjunctival keratinocyte cultures as well as in stratified (i.e., more differentiated) cultures, steady state levels of PAI-2 were greater in the latter. PAI-2 is constitutively expressed by normal human conjunctival epithelial cells. The expression of PAI-2 throughout all epithelial layers in some biopsies of conjunctiva in vivo contrasts with the previously established distribution of PAI-2 in corneal epithelia, where it is present exclusively in the most superficial (i.e. most highly differentiated) cells. The role of PAI-2 in either tissue is unclear. However, we speculate that its distinct distribution in conjunctival versus corneal epithelia underscores inherent differences between these tissues, and may reflect specific functions of this proteinase inhibitor in both conjunctival and corneal epithelial cells.

Abstract
The detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate is a well-known inducer of irritant contact dermatitis. In this study we show that sodium dodecyl sulfate induces the serine proteinase inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2, in epidermal keratinocytes. The enhancement in plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 mRNA and antigen is observed both when sodium dodecyl sulfate is applied topically to normal human skin as well as when it is added to the growth medium of cultured human keratinocytes. In vitro, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 mRNA is increased within 4-8 h after addition of the detergent, and the increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 antigen occurs slightly later. The enhancing effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 is not related to nonspecific cell lysis nor is it secondary to induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha. Similarities between our in vitro and in vivo findings lead us to hypothesize that sodium dodecyl sulfate may exert its effect on epidermal plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 via interaction with the keratinocyte.

Abstract
According to a prominent theory, the phonological difficulties in dyslexia are caused by an underlying general impairment in the ability to process sequences of rapidly presented, brief sounds. Two studies examined this theory by exploring the relationships between rapid auditory processing and phonological processing in a sample of 82 normally reading children (Study 1) and by comparing 17 children with dyslexia to chronological-age and reading-age control participants on these tasks (Study 2). In the normal readers, moderate correlations were found between the measure of rapid auditory processing (Auditory Repetition Task, or ART) and phonological ability. On the ART, the dyslexia group performed at a level similar to that of the reading-age control group but obtained scores that were significantly below those of the chronological-age control group. This difference was due to a subgroup of 4 children in the dyslexia group who had particular difficulty with the ART. The phonological skills of these individuals were not worse than those of the children in the dyslexia group who were unimpaired on the ART. The discussion argues that there is no evidence that phonoogical difficulties are secondary to impairments of rapid auditory processing, as measured by the ART, and highlights the need to examine the strategic and cognitive demands involved in tasks of rapid auditory processing.

Abstract
Emesis is a common symptom resulting from adverse food reactions in infants. In this article the terms food allergy and food intolerance are defined and differentiated. The immunopathophysiology of food allergies is discussed along with useful diagnostic tests. Adverse reactions to common infant nutrients such as cow's milk and soy milk are described, and therapeutic use of "hypoallergenic" formulas is outlined.

Abstract
Reovirus type 3 has been implicated in the origin and pathogenesis of extrahepatic biliary atresia and idiopathic neonatal hepatitis, but routine detection of this virus in hepatobiliary tissues from affected infants by culture and histological techniques has been unsuccessful. In this study, oligonucleotide primers specific to the M3 genome segment of reovirus 3 (Dearing) were used in a reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase chain reaction technique to develop a sensitive and specific assay for the detection of reovirus 3 RNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded patient samples. Optimal reaction conditions were determined by testing infected murine tissues and preserved human liver tissue supplemented with reovirus 3. Archival specimens from 50 infants, including 14 with extrahepatic biliary atresia, 20 with idiopathic neonatal hepatitis, and 16 age-matched controls, were evaluated. Successful amplification of human albumin complementary DNA from the preserved tissues confirmed the presence of intact RNA in every patient specimen tested. Analysis of the amplification reactions by agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern blot hybridization detected the presence of reoviral RNA only once in a single patient sample. These results do not support a strong role for reovirus 3 in the development of neonatal cholestatic liver disease. The recent association of other RNA viruses of the Reoviridae family with murine liver disease and human extrahepatic biliary atresia indicates that continued investigation into a viral cause for idiopathic neonatal hepatobiliary disease is warranted.

Abstract
An ion exchange radiochemical assay has been developed to study the deamination of [14C]methylamine (MA) in homogenates of rat aorta and human umbilical artery, as well as in samples of human plasma. MA metabolism was found to be inhibited almost completely by 1 mM semicarbazide, but virtually unaffected by 0.1 mM clorgyline, suggesting that MA is a substrate for the semicarbazide-sensitive amino oxidase (SSAO) activities which also metabolize benzylamine (BZ) in these sources. Mean Km values for MA metabolism by aorta, umbilical artery and plasma were 182, 832 and 516 microM, respectively, with corresponding Vmax values in aorta and umbilical artery of 100 and 590 nmol (mg prot.)-1 h-1, and in plasma of 48 nmol (mL serum)-1 h-1. Kinetic constants determined for [14C]BZ metabolism in plasma (by an organic solvent extraction assay) and in umbilical artery (by the ion exchange assay) yielded mean Km values of 225 microM (plasma), 222 microM (umbilical artery), and Vmax values of 28 nmol (mL serum)-1 h-1 (plasma) and 377 nmol (mg prot.)-1 h-1 (umbilical artery). The deamination of [14C]MA was inhibited competitively by unlabelled BZ, with Ki values in umbilical artery and plasma of 220 and 172 microM, respectively. Also, metabolite formation from mixtures of [14C]BZ (200 microM) and [14C]MA (800 microM) was extremely close to that predicted for a single enzyme capable of metabolizing two alternative substrates in a competitive fashion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) in rat aorta homogenates by some 2-phenyl-3-haloallylamines has been studied. Derivatives containing a fluorine atom were approximately three times more potent than the corresponding 3-chloroallylamines. These halogen-containing compounds were irreversible inhibitors of SSAO after preincubation with aorta homogenates; kinetic evidence for an initial competitive, reversible interaction (Ki around 0.4-0.6 microM) was found with two compounds (MDL 72145 and 72274). A similar Ki (approx. 0.7 microM) was obtained with 2-phenylallylamine (MDL 72200). However, this compound which lacks a halogen atom was a reversible inhibitor, even after preincubation. The use of a spectrophotometric assay to measure H2O2 production from amine metabolism demonstrated that MDL 72200 was a substrate (Km = 1.4 microM) for SSAO, with a Vmax approximately five times smaller than that of benzylamine (Km = 8.1 microM). Of particular interest in this study is the finding that (E)-2-phenyl-3-chloroallylamine (MDL 72274) is highly selective as an inhibitor of SSAO, compared with MAO-A or B activities, and may be a useful compound for investigating the importance of SSAO in animal tissues.

Abstract
Treatment of renal brush-border membrane vesicles with papain resulted in the removal of the activity of maltase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and leucine aminopeptidase by 85, 50 and 75%, respectively. Stripping of these membrane enzyme activities constituted about 2% of the total membrane proteins and resulted in a widespread diminution in the ability of a variety of amino acids and sugars to be taken up by the membrane vesicles which remained osmotically responsive. Kinetic analysis of the uptake of proline, which was shown previously to be transported by both sodium-dependent and sodium-independent systems, revealed that the Vmax for the sodium-dependent system and Km for the sodium-independent system were halved, but other parameters were not affected indicating that the papain treatment altered sodium-gradient-stimulated entry and the affinity of the sodium-gradient-independent system for proline. Experiments on sodium entry and efflux demonstrate a marked enhancement of flux, so that equilibration of the sodium gradient occurred about 5-times more rapidly than in untreated vesicles. This occurred without any change in the osmotic properties of the vesicle with regard to sodium or amino acid uptake. Studies of fluorescence polarization suggest that incubation with papain does not alter the lipid domains of the membrane.

Abstract
An inhibitory effect of azaserine on Na+ dependent proline and methyl alpha-D-glucoside transport of the rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles has been demonstrated. The inhibitory effects of azaserine were not the results of the drug disrupting the membrane vesicles as shown in osmolarity studies, nor did it affect the transport systems' affinities for Na+. Azaserine acts as a non-competitive inhibitor for the proline transport system in renal brush-border membranes by lowering 37% and 27% in the Vmax1 and Vmax2, respectively, when compared to that of control proline transport system. Azaserine had no effect upon the two Km values for proline uptake. Azaserine inhibition of methyl alpha-D-glucoside uptake by vesicles in the presence of 7.2 mM azaserine at 22 degrees C resulted in 66% increase in Km1 value and 44% decrease in Vmax1 as compared to that of control vesicles. There was no detectable effect upon the Km2 and Vmax2 of the methyl alpha-D-glucoside transport system. No effect of the drug was observed when sodium was equilibrated across the membrane, indicating that azaserine altered the driving force exerted by a sodium gradient. Azaserine only slightly affected the relative contribution of the two Km systems to total proline uptake. Contrary to the observed effect of azaserine upon the proline transport system, azaserine exerted a distinct effect upon the relative contribution to total uptake by the two Km systems in the low methyl alpha-D-glucoside concentration range. In the presence of 7.2 mM azaserine, the low-affinity, high-Km transport system becomes the major contributor to total methyl alpha-D-glucoside uptake by isolated renal brush-border vesicles.

Abstract
Trypsin treatment of isolated rat renal brush border membrane vesicles which preferentially releases L-leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2) decreases their ability to take up a variety of amino acids under Na+ -gradient conditions. Such treatment did not alter the osmotic properties of the vesicles nor affect their fragility. A linear correlation could be demonstrated between the L-leucine aminopeptidase activity of the membranes and the initial rate of uptake of L-leucine and L-proline. Velocity of uptake-concentration dependence studies with these substrates indicate that the major effect of trypsinization is to decrease the maximum velocity (Vmax1) of the low-Km high-affinity system with little effect on the Vmax2 of the high-Km low-affinity transport process and no effect on the apparent Michaelis constants of either. Although the data indicate that L-leucine aminopeptidase activity and uptake of l-leucine and L-proline are affected in parallel, they should not be construed to imply a role of the enzyme in the transport process, especially in view of the global decrease in the uptake of various amino acids and sugars.

Abstract
Azaserine added directly to isolated rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles inhibits uptake of L-glutamine. Azaserine acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of the low-Km system for glutamine transport, but has no effect on the high-Km system. Preincubation of the vesicles with azaserine at 37 degrees C min is not required for transport inhibition to occur, although it is a requirement for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase inhibition. Removal of azaserine from the vesicle preparation by repeated resuspensions in buffer results in a reversal of the transport inhibition but not in reversal of enzyme inhibition. Azaserine also inhibits vesicle uptake of L-proline and alpha-methyl D-glucoside, indicating a generalized effect on membrane transport systems. The data cast doubt on the postulate that gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase might act as the carrier mechanism for glutamine reabsorption by renal cortical cells.

Abstract
The ability of eight stripping agents to solubilize five marker enzymes from rat renal brush border membranes isolated by three different preparative methods was examined. Protein and enzyme activities - alkaline phosphatase (APase), L-leucine aminopeptidase (LAPase), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTase), gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGHase) and maltase - solubilized by the treatments were expressed as percent of total activity recovered in excess of control values. The relative enzyme activity and the solubilization factor were determined for each marker enzyme in every treated sample and the treatments with the eight agents compared. Trypsin treatment released > 80% of LAPase and < 10% of total membrane protein. Papain treatment released only 16--23% of total membrane protein but most of the enzyme activities except APase. Neuraminidase had no solubilizing effect. 4--10% of total membrane protein was solubilized by LiCl treatment but no marker enzyme activities were released. Less total membrane protein was released by treatment with proteolytic enzymes or LiCl than with the detergents Triton X-100, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium dodecylsulfate. APase activity was the least readily solubilized. Correlating the degree of solubilization for five marker enzymes with the types of stripping agents used and with the appearance of the membrane surface when examined by electron microscopy led to the suggestion that LAPase, GGTase, GGHase and maltase molecules are part of an interwoven surface layer of membrane proteins which can be disrupted by transamidation and transesterification reactions. APase appears to be more strongly associated with the intact lipid matrix than the bulk of the membrane protein.
