Concentrations of trypsin that bring about aggregation of hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells also release from the cell surface an Mr = 55,000 glycopeptide fragment. This glycopeptide fragment also accumulates in the medium, including serum-free medium, as a normal consequence of membrane protein turnover. The trypsin-released glycopeptide is labeled when cells are grown in the presence of fucose or leucine before treatment of the cells with the protease. Similarly, the glycopeptide fragment can be labeled by reacting cells in situ by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination or by tritiated borohydride reduction of cells treated first with neuraminidase and galactose oxidase. The tryptic glycopeptide fragment was purified by concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, and hydroxyapatite chromatography in the presence of dodecyl sulfate. The amino acid and carbohydrate composition was determined, as was the sensitivity of the purified glycopeptide to a variety of endo- and exoglycosidases. The purified glycopeptide contains an average of 17 sialic acid residues and hence, shows charge heterogeneity after electrophoresis in isoelectric focusing gels. The charge heterogeneity can be eliminated completely by treatment with neuraminidase. The glycopeptide after this treatment is homogeneous. The trypsin-sensitive membrane glycoprotein which is the source of the Mr = 55,000 glycopeptide was identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of labeled cells, treated or not treated with trypsin. This glycoprotein, which has an apparent molecular weight of 85,000 and forms a homodimer in the presence of calcium ions, was purified and its identity as the parent of the Mr = 55,000 glycopeptide was confirmed by showing that the same Mr = 55,000 fragment was released by trypsin from the purified glycoprotein as was released from the intact cells.

Clones of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were isolated by single-step selection for resistance to killing Concanavalin A (ConA) and certain cellular and membrane properties were examined. The ConA-resistant isolates were only about 2-fold more resistant than wild type cells to the selecting lectin, but exhibited pleiotropic temperature-sensitivity for growth, markedly altered morphology and adherence, and significant difference in susceptibility to other agents such as colchicine. Two revertants to full temperature-resistance were isolated from different ConA-resistant mutants. One revertant clone had reacquired wild type sensitivity to ConA while the other revertant remained ConA-resistant. The two series of wild typed, ConA-resistant, and temperature revertant clones were analyzed for altered mobility of cell surface glycoproteins using lactoperoxidase/125I and galactose oxidase/(3H) borohydride labelling procedures. The ConA-resistant clones showed increased mobility on polyacrylamide gels of three classes of labelled proteins, in the molecular weight ranges 225,000, 200,000, and 130,000 daltons. These changes persisted in the temperature-revertant that remained ConA-resistant, while two of the altered protein closses were restored to wild type mobility in the revertant that regained ConA-sensitivity. Cell hybridization experiments indicated that the temperature-sensitivity phenotypes of different ConA-resistant isolates are recessive and noncomplementing, implying that the same gene is affected in each case. The reversions to temperature resistance appear to be recessive suppressor mutation in different genes.

GM2 and GA2 gangliosides from the brain of a patient who died of Sandhoff's disease were purified by solvent partition, silicic acid and silica gel column chromatography, and silica gel preparative thin-layer chromatography. They were tritiated in the terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue using galactose oxidase and sodium [3H]borohydride with the inclusion of catalase and peroxidase into the oxidation reaction. The specific activities were 4.62 X 10(8) dpm/mumol of GM2 ganglioside and 5.54 X 40(7) dpm/mumol of GA2 ganglioside. The addition of catalase and peroxidase to the tritiation procedure is recommended.

A method is described that permits the rapid extraction of the cell surface glycoproteins of two murine leukemic cells, the P-388 and the L-1210 cells as well as those of the human adenocarcinoma cells, the HeLa cells. Proof of the surface location of these glycoproteins is provided by labeling the intact cells; (a) with 125I by the lactoperoxidase iodination technique; (b) with 3H by the galactose oxidase-reductive tritiation method. Most of these glycoproteins were also shown to incorporate radioactive glucosamine and fucose. By these criteria as well as by the distribution of molecular weights, the surface glycoproteins of the two murine cells are indistinguishable; however, they differ markedly from the surface glycoproteins of HeLa cells. The extracts of the murine cells were shown to contain lectin receptor activity as determined by their ability to inhibit the lectin-induced agglutination of the intact cells.

The surface components of L-929 mouse fibroblast cells in monolayer culture have been labeled with 125I by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination procedure. One of the membrane proteins iodinated has been shown to be myosin as follows: it has the same electrophoretic mobility (molecular weight 200,000 daltons) as myosin heavy chain on sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gels and the labeled myosin is specifically precipitated by fibroblast myosin antiserum from a preparation of purified plasma membrane that have been solubilized by treatment with 1% Triton X-100. One other 125I-labeled membranes protein (molecular weight 210, 000 daltons) is precipitated along with myosin; the latter does not combine directly with antimyosin antibody. This was determined by reacting polyacrylamide gels containing the separated membrane proteins with fibroblast myosin antiserum; myosin was the only membrane protein reacting with the antibody as determined by two separate methods. Membrane myosin is not labeled when the cells are grown in 14C-D-glucosamine or treated with galactose oxidase and potassium borotritide. Thus membrane myosin is probably not a glycoprotein.

Specific anti-Ly sera were employed to precipitate Ly antigens from Nonidet P-40 extracts of mouse thymocytes labeled with 125I using lactoperoxidase and with NaB3H4 using galactose oxidase. Thymocytes from mice of the congenic strains C57BL/6J (Ly-2.2, Ly-3.2 positive), C57BL/6Ly-2a, Ly-3a (Ly-2.1, Ly-3.1 positive) and C57BL/6-Ly-2a (Ly-2.1, Ly-3.2-positive) were used as sources of labeled antigens and as immune adsorbants to permit evaluation of the specificity of each anti-Ly serum employed. Results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing conditions are consistent with the Ly-3.1 antigen containing a glycoprotein subunit with an apparent mol wt of 35,000 daltons. Specific precipitates obtained using anti-Ly-2.1 serum yielded SDS-PAGE profiles identical to that obtained with anti-Ly-3.1 serum, suggesting that the Ly-2 and Ly-3 antigens have the same molecular weight distribution. The relationships of these results to the observed close genetic and topological linkage of Ly-2 and Ly-3 and to the genetic linkage of these loci with the IB-peptide marker, a mouse Bk-region polymorphism, are discussed.

In galactosemia, prevention of mental retardation depends on early recognition of the disorder and institution of dietary restriction of galactose. We describe an automated fluorometric micromethod for galactose in whole blood spotted on filter paper. Galactose is oxidized by galactose oxidase to D-galacto-hexadialdose and H2O2 and measured as the highly fluorescent condensation product of homovanillic acid formed when H2O2 is acted upon by horseradish peroxidase. The procedure is 10-fold more sensitive than colorimetric procedures for galactose and is not hampered by the nonspecific fluorescence from endogenous NADPH that is encountered in methods in which galactose dehydrogenase is used. At a sampling rate of 40/h with a sample-to-wash ratio of 1/2, carryover is negligible, reproducibility is excellent, and 80% of steady state is achieved. Analytical recovery of added galactose was 95%. The method has the requisite sensitivity and accuracy for quantification of galactosemia and galactosuria in milkfed newborn infants and genetic evaluation of families of patients.

Surface label experiments using the galactose oxidase-]3H]-borohydride technique reveal that cells from drug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary clones possess a surface carbohydrate component of apparent molecular weight 165,000 which is absent from wild-type cells. The component may also be demonstrated by [14C]glucosamine incorporation but not by [3H]leucine incorporation or by the lactoperoxidase surface labeling reaction.

The composition and disposition of the constituent polypeptides of rat cerebral cortical synaptosomal membranes were analyzed on SDS acrylamide gels. Of 20 bands readily detected, 11 account for greater than 93% of the total protein analyzed. These are: (molecu25); 3 (175); 4 (doublet, 137); 5 (doublet, 97); 6 (68); 7 (61); 8 (54); 9 (44); 10 (37); and 11 (33). Bands 5 and 8-10 are the most prominent and account for greater than 60% of the protein mass or 0.67 of its molecular fraction. By lactoperoxidase iodination, the bulk of the proteins in bands 3, 5, 6, and 8 and a portion of band 11 appear to be located on the external (junctional) face of the membrane of intact synaptosomes; proteins in bands 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10 appear to be localized on the internal (synaptoplasmic) face and become labeled only when synaptosomes are lysed. Further confirmation of the topographical distribution is provided by evidence that bands 3-6, 8, and 11 contain glycoproteins susceptible to labeling in intact synaptosomes by oxidation with galactose oxidase or periodate followed by reduction with NaB3H4. Evidence is provided for significant contributions by tubulin- and actin-like molecules to bands 8 and 9, respectively, suggesting that a substantial fraction of the tubulin in the synaptosomal membrane is disposed externally (accessible to iodination) whereas most, if not all, of the actin appears to exhibit the opposite topography. Similar though weaker inferences can also be drawn with regard to the location of tropomyosin and troponin. Preliminary evidence is provided that postsynaptic densities exhibit a protein and iodination profile distinct from that of the synpatosomal membrane.

We have evaluated four techniques for labelling the surface proteins of cultured mammalian cells. The techniques are: (a) the lactoperoxidase system; (b) the pyridoxal phosphate-[3H]borohydride system; (c) the [3H]4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-dihydrostilbene disulfonate sysem and (d) the galactose oxidase-[3H]borohydride system. The subcellular distribution of radiolabel produced by these technics has been evaluated by autoradiography at the light microscope level and by cellular fractionation. We find that while all four systems label the surface membranes in the majority of the cell population, they also heavily label internal sites in a small subpopulation of nonviable cells. The contribution of the internally labelled cells to further biochemical analysis may represent a severe problem in investigations which rely solely on surface labels for the study of plasma membrane organization.
