The binding of sodium [195Au]aurothiomalate (ATM) to whole cells of Mycoplasma arthritidis has been measured within the temperature range of 4 to 53 degrees C. The time course (kinetics) and the effect of varying the total concentration of free ATM in the suspension at 37 degrees C were also measured. The extent of binding at 37 degrees C leveled off after 30 min at approximately 65 nCi of [195Au]ATM per mg of membrane protein. The amount of ATM bound per cell appeared to be directly proportional to the concentration of free ATM in the range of 0.25 to 0.60 muCi of [195Au]ATM per ml. An Arrhenius plot showed two distinct regions with slopes of -0.56 degrees K/mg of protein (5 to 22 degrees C) and -2.78 degrees K/mg of protein (22 to 53 degrees C). The break in the Arrhenius plot corresponds to a temperature known to be related to a sudden change in mycoplasma membrane fluidity. Estimations of Scatchard binding constants and number of binding sites per membrane protein molecule resulted in 0.8 to 1.4 sites per molecule in the intact organisms compared to 1.4 to 1.8 sites in membrane fragments. The latter were purified by repeated washings in phosphate-buffered saline after alkaline lysis of the cells. It is suggested that ATM reacts with available protein sulfhydryl groups in the mycoplasmal membrane.
