Abstract: | Two different forms of cell-associated 35S]-heparan sulfate proteoglycans were identified in prelabeled cultured cells, including glial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. One of them migrated characteristically in the excluded volume fraction in Sepharose CL-2B chromatography and flotated in CsCl density gradient centrifugation. Further, it showed affinity for a hydrophobic gel, Octyl-Sepharose. The molecular size was markedly reduced and the density elevated by treatment with detergent or lipid solvents. These findings indicate an admixture of lipid in this proteoglycan and suggest a location for the molecule in the plasma membrane. This proteoglycan was found in all cell species examined. - The other type of heparan sulfate proteoglycan had a larger molecular size than most previously described heparan sulfate proteoglycans and had a buoyant density around 1.32 g/ml, probably due to an unusually high ratio of protein to carbohydrate. This heparan sulfate proteoglycan was found only in extracts of cells capable of forming a fibrillar extracellular matrix, but not in extracts of cells devoid of matrix. It was retained in cell-free preparations of extracellular matrix, indicating that it may be a specific product of this compartment. |
