A carbamate herbicide causes microtubule and microfilament disruption and nuclear fragmentation in fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs) are high molecular weight proteins that associate with microtubules during polymerization. This report describes a high molecular weight protein fraction with a molecular weight of approx. 290 000 from cultured mammalian fibroblasts that associates with polymerized rat brain tubulin. This protein(s), which is referred to as f-MAP, is enriched approx. 25-fold in a twice polymerized microtubules when compared with the original cell extract. Polymerization of rat brain extract in the presence of in vivo 32P-labeled fibroblast extract reveals the presence of a 32P-labeled protein in the polymerized pellet with the same electrophoretic mobility as f-MAP. The present study suggests that fibroblasts in culture contain a high molecular weight phosphoprotein with properties and a molecular weight very similar to the MAPs described in mammalian brain. 相似文献

Fibroblasts are a diverse cell type and display clear topographic differentiation and positional memory. In a screen for fibroblast specific markers we have characterized four monoclonal antibodies to endosialin (TEM1/CD248). Previous studies have reported that endosialin is a tumour endothelium marker and is localized intracellularly. We demonstrate conclusively that endosialin is a cell surface glycoprotein and is predominantly expressed by fibroblasts and a subset of pericytes associated with tumour vessels but not by tumour endothelium. These novel antibodies will facilitate the isolation and classification of fibroblast and pericyte lineages as well as the further functional analysis of endosialin. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic extracts prepared from Sindbis virus-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts pulse-chase-labeled with [35S]methionine 6 h postinfection were analyzed on a highly resolving sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel either directly or after various treatments. The results we obtained suggest that (i) the proteolytic cleavage which converts PE2 to E2 glycoprotein takes place intracellularly, before or at least during the formation of complex-type oligosaccharide side chains; and (ii) E1 glycoprotein undergoes a complex maturation pattern. Newly synthesized E1 has a molecular weight of 53,000: shortly thereafter, this 53,000 (53K) form was converted to a 50K form. Subsequently, the 50K form decreased its apparent molecular weight progressively and eventually comigrated with E1 glycoprotein present in the extracellular virus, which displays a molecular weight of 51,000 to 52,000. The conversion of the 53K to the 50K form was not the result of a proteolytic processing and did not depend on glycosylation or disulfide bridge formation and exchange. The possible mechanisms of this conversion are discussed. The second conversion step (from the 50K to the 51-52K form) was due to the formation of complex-type oligosaccharide and was reversed by incubating the cellular extracts with neuraminidase before electrophoretic analysis. 相似文献

Human platelet glycoproteins were isolated from whole platelets by two methods. The first method, that of affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin, is based on the known affinity of lectins for cell surface glycoproteins. When solubilized whole platelets are used as starting material for this procedure, elution with N-acetylglucosamine yields primarily a glycoprotein of Mr ≈ 150 000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The second method is based on the ability of the chaotropic salt lithium diiodosalicylate to extract glycoprotein from particulate cell fractions in water-soluble form. This method yields three major glycopeptides with apparent molecular weights after sulfhydryl reduction of 145 000, 125 000, and 95 000 as estimated on 5.6% sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels. Carboxymethylation of these preparations in the presence of sulfhydryl-reducing agent further resolves a glycoprotein of Mr ≈ 165 000.Treatment of whole platelets by periodate oxidation and sodium[3H]borohydride reduction labels the three major glycoproteins extracted by lithium diiodosalicylate and the glycoprotein of Mr ≈ 150 000 isolated on wheat germ agglutinin confirming their surface orientation. However, glycoprotein with Mr ≈ 165 000 resolved by carboxymethylation of the lithium diiodosalicylate extracted glycoprotein mixture was not labelled by this method, suggesting that it represents the granule protein with similar electrophoretic characteristics described by others.Phosphorylation of intact platelets with 32Pi also results in labelling of glycoproteins isolated by both methods, suggesting that these molecules traverse the 相似文献

Entactin, a novel basal lamina-associated sulfated glycoprotein 总被引:45,自引:0,他引:45
A sulfated glycoprotein, entactin, of apparent molecular weight 158,000 has been isolated from an extracellular basement membrane-like matrix. This matrix is elaborated in cell culture by a mouse endodermal cell line. Antibodies prepared in rabbits against this sulfated glycoprotein react with mouse and rat basement membranes from a variety of tissues. These antibodies also react in a specific manner with a discrete component of mouse and rat kidney glomeruli. The electrophoretic mobility of this component is identical to that of entactin. The mouse kidney antigen, as shown by immunoelectron microscopic studies, is predominantly localized at the surface of epithelial cells of tubules and glomeruli adjacent to the basement membrane. Some antigen is also present in the basal lamina adjacent to the epithelial cells. Entactin is distinct from the basement membrane-associated protein GP-2, a protein similar to laminin. Entactin differs from GP-2 in electrophoretic mobility, cyanogen bromide peptide fragmentation pattern, immunological cross-reactivity, and incorporation of H235SO4. Entactin is insensitive to treatment with chrondroitinase ABC. It is suggested that this molecule plays a role in the interaction of the extracellular matrix and the cell surface. 相似文献

The sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) complex of the major glycoprotein of avian myeloblastosis virus exhibited an anomalously low free electrophoretic mobility compared with those of non-glycosylated protein standards. The apparent molecular weight of the glycoprotein calculated from the relation between log molecular weight and electrophoretic mobility depended on the acrylamide concentration and reached a lower limit of 80,000. The molecular weight was also estimated from the retardation coefficients of protein standards and the viral glycoprotein. This method yielded a molecular weight of 64,000 for the avian myeloblastosis virus glycoprotein. When gel chromatography in SDS was used to determine the apparent molecular weight of the glycoprotein from its hydrodynamic properties alone, the estimated value was 50,000. The generally assigned value of 80,000 daltons for the avian myeloblastosis virus major glycoprotein, as determined by SDS electrophoresis, may be an overestimate due to its relatively low free electrophoretic mobility and peculiar conformation in SDS. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of intact platelets with 32Pi also results in labelling of glycoproteins isolated by both methods, suggesting that these molecules traverse the bilipid layer of the platelet membrane, bearing reactive groups on both outer and cytoplasmic surfaces. 相似文献

In previous communications we have demonstrated that the subunits of normal human erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase can be resolved into four major (1–4) and two minor (1p and 2p) components with the same molecular weight but different apparent isoelectric points (and net ionic charge). The existence of subunits with different charge results in a complex isoelectric focusing pattern of the native erythrocytic enzyme. In contrast, the isoelectric focusing pattern of the native enzyme obtained from cultured human fibroblasts is simpler. The multiple native isoenzymes obtained from human erythrocytes and human brain have isoelectric points ranging from 5.0 to 6.4 and from 5.2 to 5.8, respectively, whereas cultured human fibroblasts have two major native isoenzymes with apparent isoelectric points of 5.1 and 5.6.Purine nucleoside phosphorylase has been purified at least a hundredfold from 35S-labeled cultured human fibroblasts. A two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of the denatured purified normal fibroblast enzyme revealed that it consists mainly of subunit 1 (90%) with small amounts of subunits 2 (10%) and 3 (1%). This accounts for the observed differences between the native isoelectric focusing and the electrophoretic patterns of the erythrocyte and fibroblast enzymes. The purine nucleoside phosphorylase subunit 1 is detectable in the autoradiogram from a two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of a crude, unpurified extract of 35S-labeled cultured normal human fibroblasts. The fibroblast phosphorylase coincides with the erythrocytic subunit 1 of the same enzyme, and the cultured fibroblasts of a purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficient patient (patient I) lack this protein component, genetically confirming the identity of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase subunit in cultured fibroblasts.This work was supported by a grant from the National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases, National Institutes of Health, United States Public Health Service.

Summary The S3 cell line of Drosophila exhibits numerous responses to the molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, including mitotic arrest, cell aggregation and extensive changes in cell surface and extracellular glycoproteins. We have produced polyclonal antibodies to a major hormone induced extracellular glycoprotein to investigate the role of this molecule in cell aggregation. This glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 110 kD (P110) is found primarily in the culture medium of hormone-induced cells. Upon reduction, the electrophoretic mobility of P110 is decreased, indicating the presence of internal disulfide bonds. Results from treatment of medium proteins with a cross-linking reagent indicate that the molecule is part of a higher molecular weight oligomer (300–400 kD). Fab fragments of anti P110 effectively inhibit the reaggregation of hormone-treated S3 cells, while preimmune Fab fragments have no effect. On the basis of these results, we propose that the P110 glycoprotein complex in the medium of hormone-treated cells functions in hormone-dependent cell-cell adhesion. 相似文献

Characterization and localization of laccase forms in stem and cell cultures of sycamore 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Azeddine Driouich Anne-Catherine Lainé Brigitte Vian Loic Faye 《The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology》1992,2(1):13-24
A laccase-type polyphenoloxidase (EC 1.10.3.2.), abundantly secreted by suspension-cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) cells was purified to homogeneity. This laccase form is a glycoprotein (molecular weight 110000) with high mannose and complex glycans. The polypeptide moiety has a molecular weight of 66 000, indicating that the glycoprotein is 40% carbohydrate. Laccase is abundantly present in both the cell wall and the culture medium of suspension-cultured sycamore cells, but it is not detected in the cytoplasm, indicating that this large protein is efficiently secreted by the cells. Polyclonal rabbit antiserum was raised against the deglycosylated protein and was used to probe extracts of sycamore stem tissues. A second laccase form (molecular weight 56 000), antigenically related to laccase from cell cultures, is abundant in the epidermis of sycamore stems. In addition, this 56 kDa laccase form co-localizes with lignin precursors on tissue prints from sycamore stems. A polypeptide (molecular weight 50 000-56 000), antigenically related to sycamore laccase, was also immunodetected in most plant organs previously described in the literature as polyphenoloxidase-rich. 相似文献

Human fibroblast-conditioned medium contains a 100K dalton glucose-regulated cell surface protein 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
This report describes the identification and partial characterization of a 100K dalton “glucose-regulated” cell surface protein of human diploid fibroblasts (HDF). This protein is released into and can be recovered virtually intact from the surrounding culture medium. At the present level of analysis, the protein recovered from the culture medium (“conditioned medium”) is indistinguishable from the protein extracted directly from the cell surface by 1 M urea treatment. Both proteins have molecular weights of 100K daltons when analyzed by gel electrophoresis. The protein is readily labeled at the cell surface via lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, and the label can be chased into the released form of this protein in conditioned medium. Antiserum raised against the medium form of the protein reacts with the surface form of the protein but does not react with fibronectin, the major cell surface protein of HDF. Conditioned medium from SV40-transformed human fibroblasts does not contain the 100K protein, but instead contains a component that has a slightly lower molecular weight (97K daltons). The lower molecular weight band does not iodinate at the cell surface and is apparently an underglycosylated form of the 100K protein. Its molecular weight is shifted back to 100K by growing transformed cells in medium containing excess glucose. After the shift, the component becomes accessible to the radioiodine label. We suggest that the 100K protein is a glucose-regulated protein (Shiu, Pouyssegur and Pastan, 1977; Pouyssegur and Yamada, 1978) that is released into the culture medium. An underglycosylated form of the same glycoprotein is released from transformed cells. 相似文献

Cell surface protein decreases microvilli and ruffles on transformed mouse and chick cells. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Transformation of cultured fibroblasts usually results in a decrease in a high molecular weight cell surface glycoprotein (LETS protein) and often in increased numbers of surface microvilli and ruffles. We have isolated such a major cell surface glycoprotein from chick embryo fibroblasts; this protein, CSP, is decreased after transformation. Treatment of a mouse tumor cell line (SV1), L929 cells, and transformed chick fibroblasts with CSP results in a decrease in the number of microvilli and marginal ruffles, accompanied by restoration of a more normal morphology. 相似文献

Selective modification of arginine residues of LDL by cyclohexanedione or acetylation of lysine residues of LDL deminishes their high affinity binding and internalisation by human skin fibroblast up to 50% as compared with native LDL. The enhanced negative charge of the modified LDL particles results in an accelerated electrophoretic mobility towards the anode. Neuraminidase treatment of cyclohexanedione-modified LDL and acetyllysine-LDL normalizes not only their electrophoretic mobility, but also restores more than 80% of the original binding and uptake capacity, the specificity of this effect being indicated by using fibroblasts deficient in LDL receptor and by competitive binding and internalization experiments. 相似文献

Precursor forms of the glycoprotein tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) synthesized by human fibroblasts in culture have been identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of specific immunoprecipitates. Translation of mRNA extracted from fibroblasts in the cell-free rabbit reticulocyte lysate system yielded a single immunoprecipitable precursor of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, Mr 22 000. Intact fibroblasts cultured in the presence of tunicamycin synthesized an Mr 20 000 form of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, detectable intracellularly and extracellularly. This is in contrast to the predominantly intracellular Mr 24 000.form synthetized during monensin treatment of cells and the normal secreted form of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, Mr 29 000. Isoelectric focusing of the various immunoprecipitable precursor forms showed a progressive increase in positive charge and microheterogeneity of the protein during cellular processing. The data suggest that the inhibitor protein core, of basic pI, is glycosylated initially by the addition of mostly neutral sugars and subsequently by acidic sugars, prior to secretion. 相似文献

The proteins in cell layers of cultured normal diploid human skin (ES, ER) and lung (WI-38) fibroblasts were compared to those of SV40-transformed human fibroblasts (WI-38/VA-13), human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) cells using metabolic amino acid and sugar labeling and surface labeling with tritiated sodium borohydride after oxidation with galactose oxidase. The labeled proteins were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography (fluorography). A transformation-associated decrease in the pericellular glycoprotein fibronectin (subunit molecular weight, 220 000) and in the synthesis of a set of polypeptides in the 130 000--180 000 dalton region was seen. Synthesis of a glycosylated 160 000 dalton polypeptide was markedly reduced. In transformed cells distinct increases of several specific polypeptides was detected in both [35S]methionine and [3H] mannose incorporation experiments but not using the surface labeling method. 相似文献

Little is known about connexin expression and function in murine cardiac fibroblasts. The authors isolated native ventricular fibroblasts from adult mice and determined that although they expressed both connexin43 (Cx43) and connexin45 (Cx45), the relative abundance of Cx45 was greater than that of Cx43 in fibroblasts compared to myocytes, and the electrophoretic mobility of both Cx43 and Cx45 differed in fibroblasts and in myocytes. Increasing Cx43 expression by adenoviral infection increased intercellular coupling, whereas decreasing Cx43 expression by genetic ablation decreased coupling. Interestingly, increasing Cx43 expression reduced fibroblast proliferation, whereas decreasing Cx43 expression increased proliferation. These data demonstrate that native fibroblasts isolated from the mouse heart exhibit intercellular coupling via gap junctions containing both Cx43 and Cx45. Fibroblast proliferation is inversely related to the expression level of Cx43. Thus, connexin expression and remodeling is likely to alter fibroblast function, maintenance of the extracellular matrix, and ventricular remodeling in both normal and diseased hearts. 相似文献

Intracellular processing of epidermal growth factor. I. Acidification of 125I-epidermal growth factor in intracellular organelles 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We previously reported that 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor is processed intracellularly to acidic macromolecules in Rat-1 fibroblasts. The present study defines the precursor-product relationship and localization of the processing steps to subcellular organelles by the use of a single isoelectric species of 125I-epidermal growth factor and Percoll gradient fractionation. The native pI 4.55 125I-epidermal growth factor was rapidly processed to a pI 4.2 species on or near the cell surface and in organelles corresponding to clathrin-coated vesicles, Golgi, and endoplasmic reticulum. This species was then processed to a pI 4.35 species in similar organelles. The pI 4.2 and 4.35 species were converted to a pI 4.0 species in dense, lysosome-like organelles. This species was ultimately degraded and exocytosed from the cell as low molecular weight products. 相似文献

Human erythrocytes have been exposed to poylysine of molecular weight range 4 to 220 kDa and concentration range 0.5 to 2,000 /ml at 37°C. Threshold concentrations for cell agglutination by the polycation have been determined for the samples of different molecular weight. Light and electron micrographs show that, in the erythrocyte agglutinates, cell-cell contact is generally made only at discrete, spatially periodic, regions which are distributed over a significant part of the cell surface. The average spacing between contact regions is 0.83 m. The cell membrane has a wavy profile between contact regions. Agglutination occurs only in cell samples whose electrophoretic mobility is significantly altered by polylysine and, in agreement with a previous report, occurs even when the electrophoretic mobility reaches high positive values. The electrophoretic mobility data implies that agglutination requires some protrusion of polylysine from the cell glycocalyx. We discuss how a resulting net attractive intercellular force could act to destabilize the aqueous layer between two cells, allowing surface wave growth which results in spatially periodic contact regions. Examples of situations where cell and membrane contact might be explained by the general concept of interfacial instability are discussed. 相似文献

The biochemistry and intracellular transit of an integral membrane glycoprotein of chicken fibroblast lysosomes were studied with monoclonal antibody techniques. The glycoprotein had an apparent molecular weight of 95,000-105,000. Structural analysis involving metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine and cleavage with glycosidases revealed the presence of numerous oligosaccharide chains N-linked to a core polypeptide of apparent molecular weight 48,000. A primary localization of the glycoprotein to lysosomes was demonstrated by the coincidence of antibody binding sites with regions of acridine orange uptake, electron immunocytochemical labeling on the inner surface of lysosome-like vacuolar membranes, and preferential association of the glycoprotein with lysosome-enriched subcellular fractions from Percoll gradients. In addition, small quantities of the glycoprotein were detected on endocytic vesicle and plasma membranes. To study the intracellular pathway of the glycoprotein, we used a monoclonal antibody whose binding to the glycoprotein at the cell surface had no effect on the number or subcellular distribution of antigen molecules. Incubation of chicken fibroblasts with monoclonal antibody at 37 degrees C led to the rapid uptake and subsequent delivery of antibody to lysosomes, where antibody was degraded. This process continued undiminished for many hours on cells continuously exposed to the antibody and was not blocked by the addition of cycloheximide. The rate at which antigen sites were replenished in the plasma membrane of cells prelabeled with antibody (t1/2 = 2 min) was essentially equivalent to the rate of internalization of antibody bound to cell surfaces. These results suggest that there is a continuous and rapid exchange of this glycoprotein between plasma membrane and the membranes of endosomes and/or lysosomes. 相似文献

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II was purified from the mouse plasmacytoma, MOPC 315. Soluble enzyme was obtained from a nucleoplasmic fraction and subjected to chromatography on phosphocellulose, DEAE-cellulose, and DEAE-Sephadex ion exchange resins and was subjected to sedimentation in sucrose density gradients. A chromatographically homogeneous enzyme was obtained which was purified about 25,000-fold relative to whole cell extracts and which had a specific activity (on native DNA) similar to those reported for other purified eukaryotic class II RNA polymerase preparations. Analysis of purified RNA polymerase II by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions revealed three protein bands, designated II-O, II-A, and II-B in order of electrophoretic mobility. The subunit compositions of these nondenatured bands were subsequently analyzed by electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Each enzyme II form contained subunits with molecular weights of 140,000 (II-c), 41,000 (II-d), 30,000 (II-e), 25,000 (II-f), 22,000 (II-g), 20,000 (II-h), and 16,000 (II-i). Molar ratios were unity for all subunits except subunit II-h which had a molar ratio of 2. Each enzyme form was distinguished by its highest molecular weight subunit. II-O contained subunit II-o (molecular weight 240,000), II-A contained subunit II-a (molecular weight 205,000), and II-B contained subunit II-b (molecular weight 170,000). Total molecular weights for II-O, II-A, and II-B were calculated as 554,000, 519,000, and 484,000, respectively. In addition, the number of RNA polymerase II molecules per MOPC 315 tumor cell was calculated to be about 5 times 10-4. 相似文献
