A capping process of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGF-Rs) was used for the study of the relation between the receptors and the actin-binding proteins (spectrin, vinculin, annexin I) that may be involved in EGF-R-cytoskeleton interaction. In intact, adherent A431 cells, EGF-Rs were diffusively distributed on the cell surface. Spectrin, vinculin, and annexin I were located beneath the plasma membrane. An abundance of EGF-Rs as well as submembrane proteins was observed in regions of membrane ruffles and cell-cell contacts. Annexin I was localized also in cytoplasm being attached to filamentous structures surrounding the nucleus and extending to the cell periphery. Under polyvalent ligand treatment, EGF-Rs of adherent cells were aggregated on one side of the cell. Spectrin, vinculin, and annexin I dislocated together with EGF-Rs and were concentrated under plasma membrane at regions where cap formation took place. In suspended A431 cells only spectrin was located under the plasma membrane whereas annexin I and vinculin were diffusively distributed through the cells. During cap formation only spectrin was colocalized with EGF-Rs. The results confirmed the major role of spectrin as a receptor-microfilament linking protein. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor capping results from the interaction between the receptors and polyvalent ligands in A-431 cells examined in suspension at 22 degrees C. Colocalization of actin and spectrin with the ligand-receptor complexes during the redistribution was shown using double immunofluorescence. The obtained data show that the cortical microfilaments are involved in capping. EGF receptors become associated with the Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton as a consequence of ligand binding. EGF-receptor capping is not sensitive to the action of cytochalasin B. Capping in A-431 cells is discussed as a new model for studying the redistribution of the ligand-receptor complex. 相似文献

Epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells exhibit two classes of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors as deduced from Scatchard analysis. Steady-state binding of EGF to isolated A431 membranes indicated, however, the presence of only one class of EGF binding sites. The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of these sites was approx. 0.45 nM which is similar to that of the high-affinity receptor of intact A431 cells. These results suggest that the vesicle receptor population consists only of high-affinity receptors. However, further studies indicated that the binding sites were similar to the low-affinity class, since binding of EGF could be blocked entirely by 2E9, a monoclonal anti-EGF receptor antibody which is able to inhibit specifically EGF binding to low-affinity receptors in A431 cells. The difference in affinity of the receptors in membrane vesicles as compared to intact cells may be explained by differences in biophysical parameters such as diffusion-limited EGF binding and receptor distribution. Based upon these considerations, it is concluded that membrane vesicles of A431 cells contain one class of EGF receptors which are apparently identical to the low-affinity receptors of intact cells. 相似文献

Cultured NIH-3T3 cells were transfected with cDNA constructs encoding human epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGF-R)* and two deletion mutants in the extracellular portion of the receptor molecule. One mutant is devoid of 124 amino-terminal amino acids, and the other lacks 76 residues. Mutant receptors were not delivered to the cell surface unless the transfected cells contained also endogenous EGF-Rs, suggesting that receptor interaction complements the mutation and allows surface display of mutant receptors. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed an association between mutant and endogenous EGF-Rs when both proteins were expressed in the same cell. Hence, receptor-oligomers may exist in the plane of the membrane even in the absence of ligand binding, and oligomerization may play a role in normal trafficking of EGF-Rs to the cell surface. Mutant receptors retained partial ligand binding activity as 125I-labeled EGF was covalently cross-linked to both mutant receptors, and EGF stimulated, albeit weakly, their protein tyrosine kinase activity. Both mutant EGF-Rs bind EGF with a 10-fold lower affinity than that of the solubilized wild type EGF-R. These results provide further evidence that the region flanked by the two cysteine-rich domains plays a crucial role in defining ligand-binding specificity of EGF-R. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor of A431 cells, denoted 2D1-IgM, was generated after fusion of immunized BALB/c mouse spleen cells with SP2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells. Specific binding of 2D1-IgM to the A431 cell-surface receptor for EGF was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and immunoblot analysis. Scatchard analysis of 125I-EGF binding to A431 cells demonstrated that 2D1-IgM treatment did not change the number of EGF receptors, but caused an increase in the affinity of EGF receptors from a population of low affinity to a uniform population of high affinity. Like EGF, 2D1-IgM induced phosphorylation of EGF receptors and EGF receptor clustering. As in the case of EGF, a biphasic growth response with stimulation of DNA synthesis at low and inhibition at high concentrations of 2D1-IgM was evident in A431 cells. The intrinsic "EGF-like" bioactivity of 2D1-IgM was enhanced by the presence of EGF. These results suggest that the binding of 2D1-IgM to the EGF receptor at a different site from that to which EGF binds can initiate an effective EGF-like biological response; and the EGF-like biological effects of 2D1-IgM may be mediated by a population of high affinity EGF receptors which may be involved in the control of cellular growth. 相似文献

Molecular changes in the membranes of mouse erythroid cells accompanying differentiation. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The development of the mouse erythroblast to a mature erythrocyte is accompanied by changes in the composition and properties of the plasma membranes of these cells. Using double fluorescence techniques, we have simultaneously determined the distribution of lectin receptors and spectrin on the membranes of these cells. The lateral mobility of the lectin receptors in the membranes decreases as differentiation proceeds, and this is accompanied by an increasing concentration of spectrin associated with the membranes. The most significant concentration of spectrin occurs, however, during the enucleation of the late erythroblast, where we observe a complete segregation of the spectrin to the incipient reticulocyte, as well as a previously observed enrichment of receptors for concanavalin A into the plasma membrane surrounding the extruding nucleus. On the basis of these and other observations, we explore the possible molecular mechanisms involved in erythroblast enucleation and the role of spectrin in the regulation of protein mobility in erythroid cell membranes. 相似文献

A431 cells express high numbers of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and produce a ligand for these receptors, transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha). We have obtained evidence that the EGF receptors on these cells may be activated through an "autocrine" pathway by ligand and have investigated whether activation of phosphorylation of the receptor by the endogenously produced TGF-alpha occurs intracellularly or at the cell surface. When A431 cells were cultured under serum-free conditions, in the absence of exogenous ligand, EGF receptors were found to have a basal level of phosphorylation. When cells were labeled by culturing with 32Pi in the continuous presence of monoclonal antibodies that block binding of TGF-alpha to the EGF receptor, phosphorylation decreased to 30 +/- 10% of the basal level. This reduction could not be accounted for by the decrease in receptor content attributable to down-regulation and catabolism of EGF receptors that resulted from the binding of anti-receptor monoclonal antibodies. The reduction in receptor phosphorylation mediated by antibody was accompanied by the accumulation of increased levels of secreted TGF-alpha species in the culture medium. We also pulse-labeled A431 cells for 15 min with [35S]cysteine and immunoprecipitated the cell lysate with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody after various chase periods. Tyrosine-phosphorylated EGF receptor became detectable after 40 min of chase and reached a maximum after 4-6 h; these times are in agreement with the intervals required for EGF receptors to reach the cell surface after synthesis and then to achieve maximal expression. In addition, only the 170-kDa, mature EGF receptor species, and not the 160-kDa intracellular precursor, was immunoprecipitated with the anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. The results of these pulse-chase experiments and the finding that anti-receptor monoclonal antibody can block receptor phosphorylation suggest that activation of EGF receptors can result from the binding of an endogenous ligand (presumably TGF-alpha), which occurs at the cell surface and not during receptor biosynthesis and intracellular processing. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of the EGF receptor was examined in the epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 and five novel cell lines from human squamous cell carcinomas possessing high numbers of EGF receptors. Newly synthesized EGF receptors were visualized by labeling with [35S]methionine and immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal anti-EGF receptor antibody. In addition, the processing of the EGF receptor and its intracellular transport was analyzed by distinguishing cell surface receptors from intracellular receptors and by treating cells with inhibitors such as tunicamycin, monensin and brefeldin A. These analyses revealed that in all the tumor cell lines the EGF receptor is synthesized as a glycosylated protein of Mr 160,000 which is converted to the receptor of Mr 170,000 through posttranslational glycosylation. The receptors of Mr 160,000 and 170,000 appeared to possess high mannose type oligosaccharide chains because endoglycosidase H treatment reduced their molecular weights by approximately 30,000. A431 was the only tumor cell line studied that secreted the truncated EGF receptor of Mr 110,000. In A431 cells, the truncated EGF receptor was generated from a protein of Mr 60,000 through tunicamycin- and monensin-sensitive glycosylation. A431 cells treated with monensin secreted the truncated receptor as a Mr 95,000 form. 相似文献

Binding of an antagonistic monoclonal antibody to an intact and fragmented EGF-receptor polypeptide 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

A murine monoclonal antibody (No. 425) raised against human A431 carcinoma cells specifically immunoprecipitates the 170,000 molecular weight epidermal growth factor (EGF)-receptor from extracts of A431 cells as well as from extracts of human placenta and cultured fibroblasts, but does not recognize the murine receptor. Binding to the external domain of the human EGF-receptor was indicated by indirect immunofluorescent staining of fixed nonpermeable cells. The antibody binds to both glyco- and aglycoreceptor forms, indicating that the epitope is a part of the polypeptide chain. Binding of the antibody to the receptor is conformation dependent; i.e., denatured receptors lacking EGF-binding activity are not recognized by the antibody. The results of antibody binding studies indicate that the epitope is closely linked to the EGF binding active site, and is common to both high- and low-affinity EGF-receptors. Interaction of this epitope with the antibody inhibits EGF binding and bioactivity, and triggers receptor down-regulation, but does not generate EGFlike kinase-stimulatory or mitogenic responses either in vitro or in vivo. The antibody was tested for its ability to bind to domain-sized fragments of the 170-kDa EGF-receptor. It can recognize both the proteolytically generated 110-kDa EGF binding peptide, and a soluble 100-kDa EGF-receptor secreted by A431 cells. This indicates that the epitope recognized this antibody retains its conformation after proteolytic separation of the EGF binding domain from the rest of the receptor molecule. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibody that immunoreacts with a subclass of human receptors for epidermal growth factor 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Spleen cells from BALBc mice immunized with human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells were fused with mouse myeloma P3NP cells. One of the isolated hybridoma lines, B4G7, secreted a monoclonal antibody of the IgG class which inhibited the binding of [125I]-EGF to A431 cells and human fibroblasts, but not to mouse 3T3 cells. This inhibition was partial (65-70%) and Scatchard analysis of the EGF binding data suggested that the B4G7 antibody interacts preferentially with a low-affinity class of EGF receptors. This monoclonal antibody specifically precipitated EGF receptors (Mr = 170,000 and 155,000) of A431 cells which were directly crosslinked with [125I]-EGF. It also precipitated EGF receptors from cells whose surface proteins were labeled with 125I, from cells grown in the presence of [35S]-methionine or [32P]-orthophosphate, and from membrane fractions phosphorylated in vitro with [32P]-gamma-ATP. Receptors subjected to EGF-induced phosphorylation, both in vivo and in vitro, were also precipitated. The B4G7 antibody blocked approximately 70% of the EGF receptors in human fibroblasts, but did not stimulate DNA synthesis in these cells. However, in the presence of this antibody, cells showed the full mitogenic response to EGF, presumably through the unblocked receptors that are likely to be of the high-affinity type. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in endosomes isolated from A431 cells was studied using antiphosphotyrosin antibody (anti-P-Tyr). A431 cells were preincubated with EGF and then washed with acid buffer to remove surface-bound EGF. Endosomes were isolated from such cells by the method of subcellular fractionation on Percoll density gradient. Addition to isolated endosomes of anti-P-Tyr complexes with immunogold resulted in a significant shift of endosome peak to the high density region. This fact indicates that anti-P-Tyr interacts with phosphotyrosine residues of EGF receptors localized in endosomes. 相似文献

Cellular distribution and biological activity of epidermal growth factor receptors in A431 cells are influenced by cell-cell contact 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The potential significance of cell-cell interactions on EGF receptor (EGFR) activity was investigated in cultured adherent A431 cells seeded as single-cell suspensions with different initial cell densities. In dense cultures, EGFRs were mainly localised at cell boundaries and in microvilli as shown by immunofluorescence analysis with an EGFR-specific antibody while in sparse cultures the distribution of EGFRs was more diffuse. Scatchard analysis showed that as cell density decreased the number of high-affinity receptors increased considerably. Upon treatment of adherent intact cells with EGF all cells in sparse cultures contained activated EGFRs as demonstrated by immunofluorescence analysis with a phosphotyrosine-specific antibody, while in dense cultures mainly cells at the periphery of a cluster and especially at their expanding borders exhibited activated EGFRs. EGF-induced phosphorylation in intact cells was greatly enhanced in sparse compared with dense cultures as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation with a phosphotyrosine-specific antibody. In contrast to intact cells, in cytoskeleton preparations, obtained after mild detergent treatment of adherent cells, EGFRs were able to undergo EGF-independent phosphorylation. Pretreatment of cells with EGF led to enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of cytoskeletal-associated proteins. Our observations suggest that cell density has a considerable effect on the subcellular localisation as well as biological activity of the EGFR. Thus, in intact A431 cells growing with extensive cell-cell interactions some negative control mechanisms preventing EGFR activation may be exerted by adjacent cells. 相似文献

Several observations have indicated that clustering of growth factor receptors plays an important role in the action of growth factors. In this investigation, we have used the label fracture method to study the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the lateral distribution of its receptors in A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells. This method allows a direct visualization of immunogold-labeled plasma membrane receptors on ultrastructural level and in addition permits an quantitative analysis of their lateral distribution. EGF receptors were immunogold-labeled according to standard procedures with the monoclonal anti-EGF receptor antibody 2E9 (IgG1), which binds to the EGF receptor in a 1:1 ratio. In the absence of EGF, EGF receptors located on the surface of A431 cells were found to be clustered, as deduced from Poisson variance analysis (p less than 0.001). Following treatment of A431 cells with EGF, receptor clustering increased rapidly, reaching the maximum within 10 min. Maximal clustering was maintained for 1 h, after which the lateral distribution of receptors returned to the control situation within another hour. 相似文献

The localization of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors over the plasma membranes of human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells was analyzed at the electron microscopic level using surface replica techniques and conventional thin sections, in combination with immunocytochemistry. Immunolabeling was performed using two distinct monoclonal antibodies directed against the extracellular portion of the receptor, followed by protein A-colloidal gold conjugates. Unexpectedly, with the first monoclonal antibody used, the distribution of the receptors in both unfixed and glutaraldehyde-fixed cells was clearly regionalized, showing a preferential localization of the immunolabeling at the cell periphery as well as over the areas rich in microvilli and in coated and uncoated pits. A similar pattern of distribution was observed also with the other monoclonal antibody, but only when the cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde before immunolabeling. Treatment with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate modifies this distribution, inducing a more disperse pattern. Our observations suggest that a minor group of EGF receptors, which may represent the high-affinity receptors, presents a regional distribution, similar to that described for typical recycling receptors. 相似文献

The human carcinoma cell line A431 possesses large numbers of functional beta-adrenergic receptors 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The existence of beta-adrenergic receptors was demonstrated on whole A431 cells as well as A431 membrane preparations by means of binding assays using the hydrophobic 1-[3H]dihydroalprenolol and the hydrophilic antagonist [3H]CGP-12,177 as beta-adrenergic ligands. Binding was stereospecific. The receptors, as shown by competition studies, proved to be of the beta 2-subtype and appeared functional in the stimulation of adenylate cyclase. The number of receptors per cell and the yield of receptor sites/mg membrane protein render the A431 cell a useful tool for the study of human beta-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody, EGR/ G49 , raised against the receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) present in A431 cells inhibits EGF binding by decreasing the affinity of the major population of low affinity receptors while leaving the minor high affinity population relatively unperturbed. The antibody, which binds to a carbohydrate determinant at a site distinct from the EGF binding site, induces clustering and internalisation of the receptor without stimulating the EGF receptor-kinase or affecting its ability to undergo stimulation by EGF. It is toxic to A431 cells and induces morphological changes similar to those seen when these cells are challenged with EGF in the concentration range 1-10 nM. These results suggest that high and low affinity EGF receptors can be distinguished and that they may serve different functions. 相似文献

Plasma membrane receptors can undergo translocation in the plane of plasma membrane after binding of polyvalent ligands. Ligand/receptor clusters, named patches, can collect into a polar cap, presumably due to their association with the submembrane actin-based cytoskeleton. We found that the assembly of Fcgamma receptor II caps in human monocytic U937 cells was accompanied by the accumulation of spectrin and actin in the cap region. Permeabilization of cells with streptolysin O rendered capping sensitive to inhibition by phalloidin, an actin filament stabilizing agent. A rabbit antibody directed against the chicken erythrocyte alpha-subunit of spectrin, an actin- and membrane-binding protein, also blocked the capping in a dose dependent manner. The inhibition reached approximately 50% after 20 minutes of cell treatment with the antibody. Anti-alpha-spectrin targeted specifically its submembrane antigen, in contrast to unspecific antibodies which remained dispersed in the cell interior and had no influence on the cap assembly. Our results indicate an active engagement of spectrin and actin filaments in the capping of Fcgamma receptor II. 相似文献

Human epithelioid carcinoma A-431 cells are known to express unusually large numbers of receptors for the polypeptide hormone epidermal growth factor. The current studies demonstrate that this cell line also expresses 5- to 10-fold more low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors per cell than either human fibroblasts or Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. As visualized with an LDL-ferritin conjugate, the LDL receptors in A-431 cells appeared in clusters that were distributed uniformly over the cell surface, occurring over flat regions of the membrane as well as over the abundant surface extensions. Only 4% of the LDL receptors were located in coated pits. The LDL receptors in A-431 cells showed the same affinity and specificity as the LDL receptors in human fibroblasts and other cell types. In addition, they were subject to feedback regulation by sterols in the same manner as the LDL receptors in other cells. However, in contrast to other cell types in which the receptor-bound LDL is internalized with high efficiency, in the A-431 cells only a small fraction of the receptor-bound LDL entered the cell. In CHO cells approximately 66% of the LDL receptors were located over coated regions of membrane, and the efficiency of LDL internalization was correspondingly 10-fold higher than in A-431 cells. These findings support the concept that the rate of LDL internalization is proportional to the number of LDL receptors in coated pits and that the inefficiency of internalization in the A-431 cells is caused by a limitation in the ability of these cells to incorporate their LDL receptors into coated pits. 相似文献

We have prepared an antibody against chicken erythrocyte α spectrin, using as immunogen protein purified by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One- and two-dimensional immunoautoradiography show that this antiserum reacts only with α spectrin in chicken erythrocytes and crossreacts with α spectrin in erythrocytes from various mammals. Immunofluorescence reveals that this antiserum reacts with a plasma membrane component in erythrocytes as well as in most nonerythroid avian and mammalian cells. Intense staining is seen at or near the plasma membrane in neurons, lens cells, endothelial and epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, skeletal and cardiac muscle, as well as skeletal myotubes grown in tissue culture. Immunoautoradiography indicates that the crossreactive antigen in these nonerythroid tissues has the same molecular weight and isoelectric point as the chicken erythrocyte antigen. Smooth muscle, tracheal cilia, myelin and mature sperm stain weakly or not at all. These results suggest that spectrin is more extensively distributed than previously recognized, and that the functions of spectrin elucidated for erythrocytes may apply to other cell types as well. 相似文献

Production and characterization of antibody blocking epidermal growth factor:receptor interactions 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Membranes were prepared from the human epithelioid carcinoma cell line A-431 which has approx. 2 . 10(6) epidermal growth factor receptors per cell. This membrane preparation which retained a high epidermal growth factor binding specific activity was used as an antigen to produce antisera in rabbits. Double-immunodiffusion experiments demonstrated that the immune serum contained precipitating antibodies to several components of detergent solubilized A-431 membranes. The immunoglobulin G fraction of this immune sera inhibited 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor binding to receptors in: (1) intact human and mouse cells; (2) membrane preparations from A-431 cells and human placenta, and (3) solubilized A-431 membranes. Inhibition of 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor binding was observed with divalent and monovalent fragments of immunoglobulin G prepared from the immunoglobulin G fraction. Also, the immunoglobulin G fraction blocked growth factor binding to membranes at low temperature (5 degrees C). Anti-A-431 antibody blocked the induction of DNA synthesis in quiescent fibroblasts by epidermal growth factor in a manner similar to that of anti-epidermal growth factor antibody. Addition of either anti-A431 or anti-epidermal growth factor antibodies to fibroblasts at times up to 5 h after the addition of epidermal growth factor completely reversed the hormone's mitogenic potential. At later times (after 12 h) addition of either antibody was without effect on the stimulation of DNA synthesis by epidermal growth factor. Anti-A-431 antibody did not block the induction of DNA synthesis in fibroblasts by fibroblast growth factor or serum. 相似文献
