We reported previously that the dispersion of carotenoid droplets in permeabilized xanthophores requires cAMP, ATP, and a cytosolic factor present in several secretory tissues as well as in xanthophores. We have now purified this factor from beef liver to apparent/near homogeneity. It appears to be a heterodimer with Mr approximately 125,000. The purified factor has little or no ATPase activity, with or without the presence of actin. Nor does it stimulate the ATPase activity of carotenoid droplets. Its exact function in carotenoid droplet dispersion is thus unclear. Since dispersion of carotenoid droplets is an anterograde translocation, we propose the name anterogin for this protein. We also report that yeast cytosol has anterogin activity.
