CD34 is a 115-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein of unknown function that is expressed on human hematopoietic progenitor cells and the small vessel endothelium of a variety of tissues. We have isolated a CD34 cDNA clone from a KG-1 cell library following three rounds of transient expression in COS cells and enrichment by panning with the anti-CD34 mAb MY10 and BI-3C5. The 5' and 3' ends of the full-length cDNA were subsequently amplified by polymerase chain reaction from KG-1 RNA; the final cDNA clone contained 2615 bp and ended in a poly(A) tail. COS cells transfected with the cDNA clone expressed a surface protein of approximately 110 kDa that was immunoprecipitated by MY10. Southern blot analysis suggested that CD34 is a single copy gene. A 2.7-kb CD34 transcript was observed in the hematopoietic cell lines KG-1, KMT-2, AML-1, RPMI 8402, and MOLT 13 and the endothelial cells BAE and EAhy926, but not in monocytes, resting T cells, or the cell lines Laz 509, HL-60, U937, K562, and HeLa. The cDNA sequence predicts a 40-kDa type I integral membrane protein with nine potential N-linked and numerous potential O-linked glycosylation sites in its extracellular domain. There are two consensus protein kinase C phosphorylation sites and one potential tyrosine kinase phosphorylation site in the cytoplasmic portion of CD34. CD34 has no significant sequence homology to any known protein but has some structural similarities to the heavily glycosylated leukocyte surface molecule CD43.

We used complementary biochemical and immunological techniques to establish that an endothelial cell transmembrane glycoprotein, GP116, is a CD44-like molecule and binds directly both to extracellular matrix components (e.g., hyaluronic acid) and to ankyrin. The specific characteristics of GP116 are as follows: (i) GP116 can be surface labeled with Na 125I and contains a wheat germ agglutinin-binding site(s), indicating that it has an extracellular domain; (ii) GP116 displays immunological cross-reactivity with a panel of CD44 antibodies, shares some peptide similarity with CD44, and has a similar 52-kDa precursor molecule, indicating that it is a CD44-like molecule; (iii) GP116 displays specific hyaluronic acid-binding properties, indicating that it is a hyaluronic acid receptor; (iv) GP116 can be phosphorylated by endogenous protein kinase C activated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and by exogenously added protein kinase C; and (v) GP116 and a 20-kDa tryptic polypeptide fragment of GP116 from the intracellular domain are capable of binding the membrane-cytoskeleton linker molecule, ankyrin. Furthermore, phosphorylation of GP116 by protein kinase C significantly enhances GP116 binding to ankyrin. Together, these findings strongly suggest that phosphorylation of the transmembrane glycoprotein GP116 (a CD44-like molecule) by protein kinase C is required for effective GP116-ankyrin interaction during endothelial cell adhesion events.

Two genes encode the CD16 low affinity IgG FcR. CD16-I (Fc gamma RIII-1) is expressed on PMN as a phosphatidylinositol-glycan anchored glycoprotein. CD16-II (Fc gamma RIII-2) is expressed on NK cells and macrophages as a transmembrane glycoprotein associated with CD3 zeta or Fc epsilon RI-gamma. NK cells spontaneously release soluble CD16-II from the cell surface and this is enhanced by activation with phorbol ester. In this study, we demonstrate that a metalloprotease is involved in the spontaneous and PMA-induced release of CD16-II from NK cells. 1,10-phenanthroline, an inhibitor of Zn(2+)-dependent metalloproteases, efficiently inhibits CD16-II release. 1,7-phenanthroline, an inactive analogue that doesn't chelate Zn2+ or other divalent metal cations, and inhibitors of serine proteases do not affect spontaneous or PMA-induced release of CD16-II. Murine P815 mastocytoma cells transfected with human CD16-II cDNA shed membrane CD16, and 1,10-phenanthroline inhibits this process. P815 transfectants expressing CD16-II molecules with truncated cytoplasmic domains also release soluble receptors, indicating that the cytoplasmic segment of CD16-II is not required for interaction with the protease or the cytoskeleton. By contrast, 1,10-phenanthroline does not inhibit PMA-induced release of CD16-I glycoprotein from PMN, indicating a different mechanism of release for this phosphatidylinositol-glycan anchored molecule. Prior studies have demonstrated that NK cells are activated via the inositol phosphate pathway after engagement of CD16-II by immune complexes or Ig-coated tumor cell targets. A membrane metalloprotease with substrate specificity for CD16-II that is activated by PKC stimulation may provide a mechanism for releasing the immune complex or target from the effector cells and halting signal transduction.

A 180-kilodalton (kDa) protein (p180) was identified among the antigens for a panel of monoclonal antibodies raised against human fibroblast cell surface proteins. Binding studies with 125I-Fab' fragments of an anti-p180 monoclonal antibody demonstrated that 10 to 30% of p180 was located on the plasma membrane and that the remaining 70 to 90% was on intracellular membranes. p180 was rapidly internalized from the cell surface at 37 degrees C, and kinetic analyses indicated that this was a constitutive process followed by the recycling of p180 back to the plasma membrane. Morphological studies demonstrated that on the cell surface p180 was concentrated in coated pits, whereas inside the cell it was found in endosomes as suggested by its colocalization with the transferrin receptor. Immunoblot analysis with a polyclonal antiserum raised against purified human protein showed that p180 has a restricted distribution with expression at high levels in fibroblast cultures and in tissues containing cells of mesodermal origin. A biochemical characterization of p180 showed it to be a transmembrane glycoprotein with an extracellular domain, which consists of approximately 30 kDa of complex oligosaccharides attached to at least 45 kDa of the protein core. The cytoplasmic domain of p180 was found to contain a serine residue(s) that was phosphorylated both in vivo and in vitro by activated protein kinase C. p180 was purified by subjecting solubilized membrane proteins from a human osteosarcoma cell line to immunoaffinity chromatography and gel filtration. The N-terminal sequence information obtained from the purified protein showed no homology to other known proteins. It was concluded that p180 may be a novel recycling receptor which is highly restricted in its expression to fibroblastlike cells.

Cells transformed by the McDonough strain of feline sarcoma virus express at their surface a v-fms-specific transmembrane glycoprotein designated gp140v-fms. By labeling with 32Pi, gp140v-fms was shown to be phosphorylated 30-fold more in serine residues than were the cytosolic v-fms polypeptides gp180gag-fms and gp120v-fms. By using the phosphotyrosine phosphatase-specific inhibitor sodium orthovanadate, an additional tyrosine phosphorylation was observed in vivo, again involving predominantly gp140v-fms. In vitro studies showed that the v-fms proteins were phosphorylated by protein kinase C in a calcium- and phosphatidylserine-dependent manner.

In this study we have used (phorbol-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) and its biologically inactive analogue, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate), to investigate platelet protein phosphorylation with special emphasis on the properties of a membrane protein-cytoskeleton (transmembrane) complex during platelet activation. Our data indicate that phorbol-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (but not 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate) induces both a specific platelet shape change and the preferential phosphorylation of a 180-kDa protein (presumably due to the activation of protein kinase C on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane). Further analysis reveals that the 180-kDa protein can be iodinated by lactoperoxidase and is sensitive to trypsin treatment, indicating exposure of this protein on the outer cell surface. The 180-kDa protein has also been found to contain wheat germ agglutinin-binding sites. All evidence indicates that the 180-kDa polypeptide is a transmembrane glycoprotein and, most importantly, that this protein is found to be preferentially accumulated into a specific membrane-cytoskeleton complex during activation via phorbol-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate treatment. We believe that the observed phosphorylation of this protein may be closely related to the formation of a complex between several membrane proteins and the cytoskeleton during the initial stages of platelet activation.

The transmembrane glycoprotein CD34 shows a highly restricted expression on a crucial subset of hematopoietic cells. We show here that engagement of particular determinants of CD34 can lead to signal transduction and to enhanced adhesiveness of CD34+ hematopoietic cells. Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against O-sialoglycoprotease-sensitive epitopes of CD34 (QBEND10, ICH3, BI.3C5, MY10) but not MoAbs against O-sialoglycoprotease-resistant epitopes (9F2, 8G12) induce actin polymerization in KG-1a and KG-1 cells and strongly enhanced cytoadhesiveness. The capacity to induce adhesion requires cellular energy, divalent cations, and intact cytoskeleton but not de novo protein synthesis. The observed cytoadhesion seems at least in part to be caused by a concomitant activation of the beta 2 integrin cytoadhesion pathway. It can be significantly inhibited with lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 and intercelluar adhesion molecule-1 antibodies. Protein kinase inhibition analyses suggest that the pathways initiated by engagement of the CD34 molecule with certain CD34 MoAbs involves protein tyrosine kinases but that protein kinase C is not critically involved.

The invariant chain (Ii, CD74) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is transiently associated with the MHC class II antigens in the endoplasmic reticulum and in endocytic vesicles. An activator of protein kinase C (PKC), 12-O-tetradecanoyl-1,2-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), was found to enhance expression of Ii mRNA in the murine B lymphoma cell line, A20, 6-48 hr following treatment. In contrast, TPA did not induce the Ii in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. TPA addition to either cell line activated PKC. Pretreatment of A20 cells with the PKC inhibitors, staurosporine or chelerythrine chloride, for 5 or 20 min prior to addition of TPA, decreased Ii mRNA levels when compared to cells treated with TPA alone. A 20 min preincubation with the highly specific PKC inhibitor, calphostin C, completely blocked the TPA enhanced expression of the Ii suggesting that activation of PKC was responsible for TPA increased Ii mRNA levels. IFN-gamma also blocked the TPA increased Ii mRNA levels. Constitutive expression of Ii mRNA was decreased by treatment with staurosporine but not chelerythrine chloride or calphostin C, suggesting that non-PKC protein kinases may also be important for maintaining high levels of Ii mRNA in these cells. Western blot analysis using PKC isotype specific antibodies showed that A20 cells express PKC delta abundantly whereas NIH 3T3 cells express primarily PKC alpha. These data suggest that a PKC delta mediated signal transduction pathway plays a crucial role in up-regulation of the Ii.

CD44s (standard form of CD44) is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose external domain displays extracellular matrix adhesion properties by binding both hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen. The cytoplasmic domain of CD44s interacts with the cytoskeleton by binding directly to ankyrin. It has been shown that post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation (by protein kinase C), acylation (by acyl-transferase) and GTP-binding enhanced CD44's interaction with cytoskeletal proteins. Most importantly, the interaction between CD44s and the cytoskeletal protein, ankyrin, is required for the modulation of CD44s cell surface expression and its adhesion function. Recently, a number of tumor cells and tissues have been shown to express CD44 variant (CD44v) isoforms. Using RT-PCR and DNA sequence analyses, we have found that unique CD44 splice variant isoforms are expressed in both prostate and breast cancer cell lines and carcinomas. Most importantly intracellular ankyrin is preferentially accumulated underneath the patched/capped structures of CD44 variant isoform in both breast and prostate cancer cells attached to HA-coated plates. We propose that selective expression of CD44v isoforms unique for certain metastatic carcinomas and their interaction with the cytoskeleton may play a pivotal role in regulating tumor cell behavior during tumor development and metastasis.

CD40 is a 45- to 50-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in B cell proliferation, survival, memory, and Ig isotype switching. How CD40 engagement couples to these distal events in B cell activation remains poorly understood. In this study, we have examined signal transduction events mediated by CD40 cross-linking in resting murine splenic B cells. In comparison to signaling via the B cell Ag receptor (BCR), CD40 cross-linking was less effective at activating protein tyrosine kinases. Interestingly, however, CD40 engagement resulted in the phosphorylation of both extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and the Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor, Son of sevenless. In addition, both ERK and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase activities were increased after both CD40 and BCR ligation. Overnight treatment of cells with phorbol ester as well as pharmacologic inhibitors of protein kinase C abrogated these signaling events after BCR treatment; however, no effect was seen on CD40-mediated activation of ERK or c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, suggesting that the BCR and CD40 differentially utilize protein kinase C to couple with these signaling pathways.
