Lysosome membrane glycoproteins, lamp-1 and lamp-2, have been shown to contain 18 and 16 N-glycans, some of which are modified by poly-N-acetyl-lactosamine. We have localized the polylactosaminoglycans to specific sites on lamp-1 and lamp-2 purified from human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. Polylactosaminoglycan-containing glycopeptides, obtained by trypsin, pepsin, and V8 protease digestion of the glycoproteins, were isolated by Datura stramonium agglutinin affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl structures of isolated glycopeptides were confirmed by the susceptibility of their released oligosaccharides to endo-beta-galactosidase. Amino acid analysis and sequencing demonstrated that polylactosaminoglycans were located at Asn-34, Asn-93 and/or Asn-102, and Asn-195 and/or Asn-200 in lamp-1, and at Asn-4 and/or Asn-10, and Asn-279 in lamp-2. These results indicated that only certain glycosylation sites can be selectively modified by poly-N-acetyllactosamine, and those sites may confer the requirement by beta 1----3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase.

Glycoprotein II (GpII) is a heterogenous glycoprotein isolated from the membranes of bovine chromaffin granules in the adrenal medulla. When viewed by two-dimensional electrophoresis this glycoprotein consists of two components, upper (GpIIa) and lower (GpIIb), with a molecular mass of 80,000-100,000 daltons and a pI of 4.2-4.7. NH2-terminal sequence analysis of GpIIa and GpIIb revealed sequence similarity with lysosomal membrane glycoproteins (lamp-1 and lamp-2), which was supported by sequence data of peptides from trypsin and cyanogen bromide digestions. An oligonucleotide probe was used to isolate a cDNA clone encoding the nucleotide sequence of GpIIa. The predicted amino acid sequence of GpIIa shares a 72% identity with the human lamp-1 type protein, which belongs to a highly conserved group of lysosomal-associated membrane glycoproteins (lamp proteins), whose function is still unknown. The COOH-terminal region of GpIIa was identical to the COOH-terminal region of lamp proteins. This COOH-terminal determinant has been demonstrated to be essential for the intracellular targeting of lamp proteins to lysosomes. A synthetic peptide antisera to the COOH-terminal region of GpIIa was used to show that this region is present on purified chromaffin granules and not proteolytically processed. The sequence analysis of GpIIa and immunological data confirm GpII as the secretory granule counterpart of lamp proteins and raise some questions regarding intracellular targeting between lysosomes and secretory granules within the chromaffin cell.
