An alpha 1,2-mannosidase (Man9-mannosidase) involved in N-linked oligosaccharide processing has been purified about 16,000-fold from pig liver crude microsomes (microsomal fractions) by CM-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, concanavalin A (Con A)-Sepharose chromatography and, as the key step of the procedure, affinity chromatography on immobilized N-5-carboxypentyl-l-deoxymannojirimycin (CP-dMM). On SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, the isolated enzyme migrated as a single protein band with a molecular mass of 49 kDa. The enzyme does not bind Con A and is not susceptible to glycopeptidase F, indicating that it lacks N-linked oligosaccharides of the high-mannose or complex type. Purified Man9-mannosidase has a pH optimum close to 6.0 and requires bivalent cations for activity, with Ca2+ being most effective. The enzyme is inhibited strongly by basic sugar analogues of mannose such as 1-deoxymannojirimycin (dMM, Ki approximately 5 microM), N-methyl-dMM (Ki approximately 55 microM) and CP-dMM (Ki approximately 150 microM), whereas NN-dimethyl-dMM and the mannosidase II inhibitor swainsonine were hardly or not at all inhibitory. A homogeneous preparation of the 49 kDa enzyme cleaves specifically three of the four alpha 1,2-mannosidic linkages in the natural Man9-GlcNAc2 (M9) substrate. The relative rates by which the parent and intermediate structures are hydrolysed were found to be about 3:2:5 for M9, M8 and M7 respectively. The enzyme displays only marginal activity toward the remaining alpha 1,2-mannosidic linkages in the Man9-GlcNAc2 oligosaccharide (relative rate of M6 hydrolysis approximately 0.02) and is not active against nitrophenyl and methylumbelliferyl alpha-mannosides. This unique substrate specificity suggests that Man9-mannosidase processing differs from that catalysed by other trimming alpha 1,2-mannosidases hitherto reported. A polyclonal antibody raised against the denatured 49 kDa polypeptide not only recognizes a protein band of similar size in Western blots of crude microsomes, but also reacts strongly with a 65 kDa protein species. On trypsin treatment of detergent-solubilized microsomes, the 65 kDa protein is converted specifically into a stable 49 kDa fragment, indicating a precursor-product relationship between the two proteins. We conclude from this observation that the 65 kDa protein represents the intact form of Man9-mannosidase from which the 49 kDa enzyme which we have isolated has been generated, with retention of catalytic activity, by proteolysis during purification. Proteolytic studies with sealed microsomes suggest that the intact 65 kDa enzyme is a protein with a membrane-spanning domain, as well as a cytosolic polypeptide domain of size at least 3 kDa.

A preparation of folate binding protein purified from human placental membranes in the presence of a variety of protease inhibitors followed by deglycosylation with N-glycanase gave a sharp band at Mr approximately 28,000 following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The deglycosylated protein bound [3H]folic acid as tightly as the native protein. Peptides obtained following digestion of the purified protein with staphylococcal V8 protease and HPLC purification were sequenced. Polyclonal antibodies against the protein preparation were affinity purified and used to screen a placental cDNA expression library. A full-length cDNA for a placental folate binding protein was thus obtained and the corresponding protein sequence deduced. This result, taken together with the peptide sequence data, indicates the expression of at least two homologous folate binding proteins in placenta, one of which appears to be identical with the folate binding protein from human milk and nasopharyngeal epidermoid carcinoma (KB) cells; the cDNA sequence obtained corresponds to the other protein. The deduced protein sequence is characterized by a putative 16-residue amino-terminal signal peptide that is cleaved, resulting in a 239-residue polypeptide. The mature protein exhibits two potential sites for N-linked glycosylation at Asn-99 and Asn-179, eight potential intramolecular disulfide bonds, and a stretch of hydrophobic residues at the carboxyl terminus that could form a transmembrane domain. The protein bears a 68% sequence homology with the KB cell folate binding protein and may represent a fetal folate transport protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Macrophage activation activity was characterized from a PMA-induced subclone of the murine EL-4 leukaemic cell line. The MAF was purified from the cell line culture supernatant by concentration, CM-Sepharose and lentil lectin Sepharose chromatography, AcA 54 gel filtration, Mono Q FPLC and reverse phase HPLC. Four protein bands of different abundance were observed on SDS-PAGE with molecular weights of 17,500 to 21,000 Da. Three of the four proteins were sequenced from the N-terminal and shared homology with the published sequence of BSF-1. Variation of the molecular weight due to glycosylation was demonstrated by N-glycanase treatment, all four proteins gave a band of 14,200 Da after deglycosylation. Both glycosylated and deglycosylated forms of BSF-1 were equally active in the MAF assay. A monoclonal antibody to BSF-1 neutralized 80% of the activity from crude culture supernatants in the MAF assay. These studies have indicated that BSF-1 is the major, if not the only, MAF activity from this particular subline of the murine EL-4 leukaemic cell line.

The neuronal membrane protein which binds the K+-channel ligands dendrotoxin, mast cell degranulating peptide, and beta-bungarotoxin was purified from rat brain membranes. When analysed on 10% SDS gel electrophoresis, the purified protein contained two peptides: the toxin-binding subunit of apparent Mr 90,000 and another peptide of Mr 38,000. Neuraminidase treatment reduced the Mr of the toxin-binding subunit to 70,000. Glycopeptidase F gave a further reduction to Mr 65,000. In contrast, the peptide of Mr 38,000 showed no change in Mr upon treatment with neuraminidase and/or glycopeptidase F. It is concluded that the toxin-binding subunit of the dendrotoxin-binding protein, a presumptive K+ channel, is a sialated membrane protein with a peptide core of, at most, Mr 65,000.

Affinity-purified human testosterone-binding globulin (hTeBG) is composed of two subunits [mol wt (Mr), 52,200 and 48,600], as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), electrophoretic transfer, and immunochemical localization with a monoclonal antibody raised against rat androgen-binding protein. Fluorography of SDS-PAGE gels on which photoaffinity-labeled hTeBG was analyzed yielded essentially identical results. Enzymatic deglycosylation of hTeBG with neuraminidase to remove sialic acid led to the production of two subunits of 50,800 and 47,300 Mr when assessed by SDS-PAGE. Treatment of hTeBG with an optimal concentration of N-glycanase to remove Asn-linked oligosaccharides produced a single subunit of 44,100 Mr. When hTeBG was treated with neuraminidase and O-glycanase to remove O-linked oligosaccharides, three subunits were seen, two of which had Mr not clearly different from those obtained with neuraminidase treatment alone plus a subunit of 40,900 Mr. Treatment of hTeBG with a combination of all three enzymes produced a single subunit of 42,900 Mr. Chemical deglycosylation with trifluoromethane-sulfonic acid produced a single subunit with a Mr identical to that produced by treatment with all three enzymes. We concluded that this is the Mr of completely deglycosylated hTeBG. Based on this Mr, carbohydrates contribute 18% and 12% to the apparent Mr of the heavy and light subunits of hTeBG, respectively. Two-dimensional PAGE analysis of hTeBG with its oligosaccharides intact indicated that the heavy subunit was composed of seven isoelectric variants with pI values of 5.87-6.55, while the light subunit was composed of four charge variants with pI values of 6.14-6.55. Treatment of hTeBG with the enzymes resulted in a shift in the pH values to a more basic pH range, indicating that carbohydrate removal also removed charged species from the protein. The greatest cathodal shift occurred when hTeBG was treated with a combination of the three enzymes (pI 7.33-7.77) or when it was chemically deglycosylated (pI 6.37-7.02). Despite the apparent removal of all carbohydrates, the single subunit was still composed of multiple isoforms. This finding suggests that other charged species remain on the hTeBG molecule.

Recombinant murine interleukin-4 (muIL-4) expressed in COS-7 monkey kidney cells was purified to homogeneity by sequential CM-Sepharose, Sephadex G-100 chromatography and mono-S FPLC to a specific activity of 6.10(7) units per mg of protein based on an in vitro HT-2 cell proliferation assay. Two electrophoretic variants, designated a and b, which migrated on SDS-PAGE as a closely spaced doublet with Mr 19,000, were present in the final product. Gas phase sequencing of the purified protein revealed the presence of an N-terminus corresponding to the mature protein predicted from the cDNA sequence and sequencing of a cyanogen bromide digest confirmed 75 of the 120 predicted amino acids. Elution behavior on gel filtration corresponded to that of a monomer of Mr 19,000. Since there are three potential sites of N-glycosylation predicted by the cDNA sequence, the contribution of glycosylation to the observed heterogeneity was examined by treatment with endoglycosidases. Variant b was digested by either endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H) or endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F (endo F) to protein of Mr 15,000 on SDS-PAGE but was unaffected by treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D (endo D), thus indicating the presence of high mannose type of N-glycan. In contrast, variant a was resistant to endo H, F and D. Complete conversion of a mixture of variants a and b to a single protein of Mr 15,000 on SDS-PAGE was obtained only after treatment with N-glycanase. Both variants were resistant to neuraminidase and O-glycanase treatment. These data show that the microheterogeneity observed in purified muIL-4 preparations is due to differences in the nature of the N-linked oligosaccharides. The availability of purified recombinant muIL-4 and a methodology for both total and selective deglycosylation provides a basis for the initiation of structure-function studies of this novel T-cell lymphokine.

Isolation of two membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase (AP) species from avian growth plate cartilage matrix vesicle (MV) fractions is described. AP was first released from the membranes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIase C), followed by chromatography on DEAE-Bio-Gel A and Reactive-Red agarose. Two AP species having apparent Mr of 81.5 and 77 kDa by SDS-PAGE were purified in high yield and specific activity by this simple method. Treatment with neuraminidase to remove sialic acid residues reduced their size slightly, but did not diminish the difference in Mr between the two species. Digestion with N-glycanase, however, decreased both AP species to a common size of 59 kDa. This reveals that both enzymes are highly glycosylated and suggests that the two forms may result from differences in degree of glycation. The amino acid compositions of the two avian enzyme forms are very similar, but are markedly enriched in serine, glycine and glutamate when compared to those reported for mammalian liver-kidney-bone AP. Possible differences in amino acid sequence between the two avian forms have not been excluded. The cross-reactivity of polyclonal antibodies to these enzymes with bovine kidney, but not intestinal AP, indicate that the avian cartilage APs are of the liver-kidney-bone isozyme type.

Brain membrane preparations of different vertebrates were photoaffinity labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam and subsequently deglycosylated with endoglycosidase F and peptide N-glycopeptidase. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography revealed that each benzodiazepine-binding protein is deglycosylated in two steps, indicating that each protein has two glycosylation sites. Species variation of the apparent molecular masses of the benzodiazepine-binding proteins and regional heterogeneity in avians persist after deglycosylation. These results indicate that the alpha-subunit(s) of the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor has undergone electrophoretically detectable changes in its amino acid composition during vertebrate evolution. The existence of at least two different alpha-subunits in avians is further substantiated.

Bovine spleen was investigated for the presence of receptors for radioiodinated human interferon-alpha 2 (125I-labeled HuIFN-alpha 2). Membranes were prepared by homogenization and differential centrifugation and analyzed for labeled IFN binding with recently developed tissue membrane assays. The characteristics of IFN binding included an affinity constant (Ka) of 3.1 +/- 0.99 X 10(10) M-1 and a receptor content of 8.4 +/- 0.74 fmoles/mg (wet weight) of bovine spleen membranes. The labeled IFN-receptor complex on these membranes was chemically cross-linked with 1.0 mM ethylene glycol bis(succinimidyl succinate (EGS), and subjected to SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. The formation of a 137-kD complex observed on autoradiographs was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by unlabeled HuIFN-alpha 2 at concentrations that inhibited the binding of labeled IFN to the membranes. The products of the cross-linking reaction were purified by gel filtration on a column of Ultragel AcA34 in the presence of SDS and examined by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. In addition to the 137-kD complex, several low-molecular-weight species were observed in the column profile of radioactivity which migrated to the bottom of 10% polyacrylamide gels. The fractions containing the 137-kD complex were pooled, concentrated, and utilized as a substrate for endoglycosidase digestion assays. Endoglycosidase H (EndoH) had no affect on the migration of the 137-kD complex while peptide:N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) increased the migration of the 137-kD band to a position with an Mr of 105 kD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The glycoprotein nature of the ligand binding subunit of photoaffinity-labeled striatal D2 receptors was investigated. Upon photolysis, [125I]N-azidophenethylspiperone covalently incorporated into a major band of Mr 94000 with an appropriate pharmacological profile for D2 receptors as assessed by autoradiography following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The exoglycosidase, neuraminidase, altered the electrophoretic mobility of the 94 kDa labeled band to 54 kDa with a slight modification in the binding affinity of [3H]spiperone. Endoglycosidase treatment (glycopeptidase-F) produced a further increase in the mobility of the 94 kDa peptide to approximately 43 kDa. A smaller specifically photolabeled D2 receptor peptide of 34 kDa does not contain terminal sialic acid but is an N-linked glycoprotein as assessed by lectin affinity chromatography and susceptibility to digestion by glycopeptidase-F to a peptide of approximately 23 kDa.
