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.

The ligand-binding subunit of the porcine striatal dopamine D2 receptor was identified by photoaffinity labeling with [125I]N-azidophenethylspiperone ([125I]NAPS). Upon photolysis, [125I]NAPS covalently incorporated into a broad band of apparent Mr congruent 140,000 with an appropriate pharmacological profile for D2 receptors as assessed by autoradiography after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Smaller subunits of apparent Mr congruent 94,000 and 34,000 were specifically labeled by [125I]NAPS with an appropriate D2 receptor profile and were similar to the major ligand-binding subunits of photoaffinity-labeled canine striatal D2 receptors. Photoaffinity labeling in the absence or presence of multiple protease inhibitors did not alter the migration pattern of the Mr congruent to 140,000/94,000 subunits upon denaturing electrophoresis in either the absence or presence of thiol-reducing/alkylating reagents. In order to investigate the possible basis for the existence of these high molecular weight forms of the D2 receptor, we assessed the carbohydrate nature of photolabeled D2 ligand-binding subunits by the use of lectin affinity chromatography and specific exo- and endoglycosidase treatments. Both photoaffinity-labeled D2 receptor proteins from porcine striatum (Mr congruent to 140,000 and 94,000) were glycoproteins as indexed by their absorption and specific elution from wheat germ agglutinin lectin resins. The exoglycosidase neuraminidase altered the electrophoretic mobility of both the Mr congruent to 140,000 and 94,000 labeled subunits to a single band of apparent Mr congruent to 51,000. Prior removal of sialic acid residues did not alter the reversible binding characteristics of [3H]spiperone to D2 receptors. Complete removal of receptor-associated N-linked carbohydrate by the endoglycosidase glycopeptidase F (peptide-N4[N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl]asparagine amidase) produced a further increase in the mobility of the Mr congruent to 51,000 subunit to apparent Mr congruent to 44,000. The porcine Mr congruent to 34,000 photolabeled peptide is an N-linked glycoprotein as assessed by lectin affinity chromatography and susceptibility to digestion by glycopeptidase F to a peptide of apparent Mr congruent to 23,000.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The significance of carbohydrate moieties containing the beta-adrenoceptor molecule in the rat brain was examined using radioligand binding assay methods. Thus, this experiment was designed to assess the effects of exoglycosidase (alpha-D-mannosidase and neuraminidase), endoglycosidase (endoglycosidase D and endoglycosidase H), and glycopeptidase A on the affinity of beta-adrenoceptor. The main reason why five kinds of enzymes were used in the present study is that they can hydrolyze different carbohydrate molecules from cell membranes. Rat brain was used and beta-adrenoceptor binding assay was carried out using 3H-dihydroalprenolol (3H-DHA) as a ligand. 3H-DHA binding to beta-adrenoceptors was sensitive to very low concentration of endoglycosidase H and glycopeptidase A, thus indicating that the treatments with these enzymes of rat brain membrane appear to decrease the number of beta-receptor binding sites. On the other hand, the treatment with neuraminidase, endoglycosidase H, and glycopeptidase A of the membrane induced lower values of the dissociation constant (Kd) than those of the control. alpha-D-mannosidase and endoglycosidase D are without effect in spite of the removal of hexose contents and total carbohydrate contents with these treatments, respectively. These results imply that complex type N-linked acidic carbohydrate chains containing neuraminic acid and high mannose type N-linked carbohydrate chains, which are hydrolyzed with endoglycosidase H and glycopeptidase A, of the rat brain membrane containing beta-adrenoceptor molecules play a crucial role in the drug-receptor interaction.

A method was developed for obtaining detailed oligosaccharide profiles from [2-3H]mannose- or [6-3H]fucose-labeled cellular glycoproteins. The oligosaccharides were segregated first according to class, using endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H) to release the high mannose species, and then with peptide-N4-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase (PNGase F), which provided a complete array of complex oligosaccharide chains. The high mannose and complex oligosaccharides were fractionated subsequently according to net negative charge on QAE-Sephadex. High resolution gel filtration on TSK HW-40(S) resolved the neutral high mannose population into species of the type Man9-5 N-acetylglucosamine. Desialylation of the complex chains with neuraminidase allowed resolution of these oligosaccharides into their corresponding asialo bi-, tri-, and tetraantennary species. Fibroblasts from normal and cystic fibrosis cells were analyzed for differences in their glycosylation patterns using these techniques. Over 95% of the [2-3H]mannose-labeled glycoproteins were susceptible to the combined glycosidase digestions, but no difference in either the high mannose or complex oligosaccharides were observed. Nonetheless, the methodology developed in this study provides an important new approach for investigating oligosaccharides of different cell types and variants of the same type. Metabolic changes induced in cellular glycoproteins, as illustrated by use of the processing inhibitor swainsonine, demonstrated the versatility of this procedure for investigating questions relating to glycoprotein structure and enzyme specificity. Thus, by employing a variation of this method, it was possible to confirm the location of fucose in the core of PNGase F-released hybrid oligosaccharides by the subsequent release with Endo H of the disaccharide, fucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine.

Previous histochemical and biochemical studies have documented the presence of carbohydrate-containing molecules in the retinal interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM). The lectin peanut agglutinin (PNA), which preferentially binds galactose-containing carbohydrates, especially galactose-galactosamine linkages, selectively labels cone photoreceptor-associated domains of the IPM ('cone matrix sheaths') in a variety of vertebrate retinas. In the studies described here, the nature of these PNA-binding components was investigated by monitoring the effects of proteolytic and glycosidic enzymes on binding of the lectin in the retina and IPM. All proteolytic enzymes tested cause a marked reduction in PNA-binding to cone matrix sheaths, suggesting that proteinaceous components are important to their organization. Exposure to O-glycanase, but not N-glycanase, markedly reduces binding of PNA to cone matrix sheaths indicating that O-linked oligosaccharides are probably responsible for its binding. Galactose oxidase treatment reduces PNA-binding throughout the retina and IPM, confirming that galactose moieties are involved in its binding. beta-Galactosidase (either before or after neuraminidase treatment) does not alter the pattern of PNA binding, suggesting that neither terminal nor penultimate beta-linked galactose residues constitute a major proportion of the lectin's binding sites in the retina. Neuraminidase treatment markedly increases the density and distribution of PNA binding throughout the retina and IPM, however, this effect appears to be, at least in part, the result of the binding of the lectin to neuraminidase molecules that become associated with tissue sections in addition to binding to carbohydrate groups unmasked by desialation. Exposure to chondroitinases causes disruption of the morphological integrity of cone matrix sheaths and slight diminution of PNA binding. Other enzymes acting on common constituents of extracellular matrices do not have similar effects. Taken together, these observations suggest that PNA-binding to cone matrix sheaths is due to the presence of glycoconjugates with galactose-containing, O-linked oligosaccharide chains.

Analyses of cDNA clones coding for simian type 1 transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta 1) suggest that there are three potential sites for N-linked glycosylation located in the amino terminus of the precursor region. Analysis of [3H]glucosamine-labeled serum-free supernatants from a line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which secrete high levels of recombinant TGF-beta 1 indicate that the TGF-beta 1 precursor, but not the mature form, is glycosylated. Digestion with neuraminidase resulted in a shift in migration of the two TGF-beta 1 precursor bands, which suggests that they contain sialic acid residues. Endoglycosidase H had no noticeable effect. Treatment with N-glycanase produced two faster-migrating sharp bands, the largest of which had a molecular weight of 39 kilodaltons. TGF-beta 1-specific transcripts produced by SP6 polymerase programmed the synthesis of a 42-kilodalton polypeptide which, we suggest, is the unmodified protein backbone of the precursor. Labeling with 32Pi showed that the TGF-beta 1 precursor was phosphorylated in the amino portion of the molecule.

We present the characterization of a new mouse cell surface protein, recognized by the 3E8-specific monoclonal antibody. The expression of this antigen is predominantly restricted to the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues: bone marrow, spleen, lymph node, and thymus. Immunoblot analyses show that the 3E8 determinant is present on molecules with different apparent relative masses. The 3E8 antigen migrates on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a single band of Mr 115,000 for normal nonstimulated spleen cells and thymocytes and as two bands of Mr 115,000 and Mr 125,000 for bone marrow cells and mitogen-stimulated spleen cells. The multiple sizes of the 3E8 antigens (isoforms) found on various cell lines are not due to allelic polymorphism, but instead may reflect the specific cell type or reflect the cell's state of activation or maturation. Results from lectin chromatography and N-glycanase and neuraminidase studies suggest that the 3E8 antigen is a heavily sialylated O-linked glycoprotein. The unusual features of this antigen indicate that it may be the mouse homologue of the rat W3/13 antigen and the human leukosialin/sialophorin antigens.

Antibodies were affinity purified from crude antiserum by elution from the 24 kDa region of preparative one-dimensional Western blots containing immobilized adult Schistosoma mansoni inner bilayer membrane proteins. They were shown to be specific for a single acidic polypeptide complex, Smgp24, following immunoblotting from two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. These antibodies were then used to detect the presence of the Smgp24 complex in fractions prepared from lectin affinity chromatography, phase separation in Triton X-114 and chemical and enzymatic carbohydrate modification treatments. The 24 kDa antigen was bound and specifically eluted from both concanavalin A and lentil lectin affinity matrices. In addition, the electrophoretic mobility of the antigen was shifted to approximately 20 kDa after treatment with endoglycosidase F and N-glycanase, but was not appreciably altered following treatment with endoglycosidase H, neuraminidase, or sodium meta-periodate. The 20 kDa species produced by endoglycosidase F or N-glycanase treatment no longer bound to the lectin affinity resins. The Smgp24 complex also partitioned almost quantitatively into the detergent-enriched phase after phase separation in Triton X-114 solutions. These results indicate that the Smgp24 complex is an antigenic integral membrane glycoprotein and may consist of a single polypeptide backbone which is extensively post- or co-translationally modified.

The 44G4 antigen is expressed in high amounts on human endothelial cells and at low levels on leukemic cells of pre-B and myelomonocytic origin. Its level of expression on the pre-B leukemic HOON cell line used for derivation of the corresponding mAb is intermediate but sufficient to permit the purification of the Ag. The molecule isolated by immunoaffinity from HOON is a glycoprotein since it bound to Ricinus communis agglutinin, wheat germ agglutinin, and peanut agglutinin lectins. The Ag was purified 2400-fold from a soluble taurocholate extract of HOON cells by affinity to wheat germ agglutinin-agarose and 44G4-IgG-Sepharose. The purified glycoprotein is likely a homodimer as it migrated on SDS-PAGE with an apparent m.w. of 170,000, nonreduced, and 95,000, reduced. Removal of N-linked oligosaccharides by endoglycosidase F led to a decrease in m.w. of 25,000; if neuraminidase and O-glycanase were also present, the total decrease in m.w. was 33,000 suggesting a polypeptide chain of 62,000 and 8,000 in O-linked substitutions. The glycoprotein digested with N-glycanase, neuraminidase, or O-glycanase could still be immunoprecipitated with the 44G4 mAb indicating that the antigenic epitope resides in the polypeptide. By Western blot analysis, the dissociated but nonreduced protein was reactive with 44G4, whereas the reduced and alkylated protein was not. Therefore, the epitope is dependent on the presence of intact disulfide bond(s). Sequential immunoprecipitation with OKT9 and 44G4 antibodies indicated that these epitopes are present on two distinct molecules and that 44G4 is distinct from the transferrin receptor despite a similar subunit structure.

A cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) of apparent Mr 74,000 has recently been purified from human plasma. Cholesteryl ester transfer activity was found to accumulate in the medium of cultured Hep G2 cells. The transfer activity was removed by immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies to the plasma CETP. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates prepared from the medium of cells pulsed with [35S]methionine revealed a broad specific band of protein of Mr 72,000 to 76,000; by contrast, immunoprecipitates of cellular homogenates showed a sharp specific band of Mr 58,000. The Mr 72,000 to 76,000 band disappears, concomitant with the appearance of lower Mr products, upon neuraminidase or glycopeptidase F treatment of medium immunoprecipitates or of purified CETP. The results indicate that liver cells have the capacity to synthesize and secrete CETP. The CETP peptide acquires asparagine-linked carbohydrate and sialic acid during intracellular processing.
