Following the previous ultrastructural demonstration of the presence of arylsulphatase (Asase) activities in Kurloff cells (KC) and of their quasi-exclusive localization in the Kurloff body (KB), this work investigates their biochemical and zymographic properties after extraction from purified KC suspensions. Using the discriminative inhibitory conditions of both the Baum or LeeVaupel and Conzelmann methods, nitrocatechol sulphate hydrolyzing enzymes of the KC were assumed to belong to the B class of the type II Asase alone. After electrophoretic separation under non-denaturing conditions in a 4–23% polyacrylamide gel, they were characterized by 55 kDa and 62 kDa zymographic bands. After isoelectric focusing, ‘classical’ cationic isoforms (pI 8.5) and two anionic isoforms (pI 4.4 and 4.6) were observed on zymograms. As expected for class B Asase, the different zymographic forms of KC Asase were only recovered in the unadsorbed fraction after anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose column equilibrated with high ionic strength buffer. Their Km (2.1 mM), their optimum pH (5.8) and their inhibitions by sulfite, phosphate, sulphate and ascorbic acid as well as their slight stimulation by AgNO3 were also characteristic of this class of Asase. Finally, chondroitin4-sulphate was shown to potentially be a physiological substrate for these lysosomal enzymes. 相似文献

Urea-soluble fractions from purified Kurloff cells (KC) were analysed by affinoblotting. Lectin reactivities were quasi-exclusively confined to the 30-35 kDa major glycoproteins (mGPs) (responsible for the PAS positivity of the Kurloff body) with strong affinities for Canavalia ensiformis lectin, Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin and Sambucus nigra (SNA), Pisum sativum, Triticum vulgaris and Ulex europeus agglutinins. These data were consistent with the presence, among the KC mGPs, of large amounts of complex or hybrid N-glycosylproteins, in particular with Neu5Ac alpha 2,6Gal/GalNAc sequences, fucosyl residues and bisected residues. Their oligosaccharide sequences belong to more than one class, since some of these lectin reactivities had to be borne by distinct N-linked oligosaccharide chains. Before further analysis, KC mGPs were separated from other highly anionic glycoconjugates, by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Their abundant potential RCA-binding sites masked by sialic acid were then revealed after neuraminidase (sialidase) or dilute acid pre-treatment. In remaining consistent with their lectin affinities, some KC mGPs were found to be PNGase F sensitive, while, either desialylated or not, they were all O-glycanase insensitive. Finally, by combined zymography and affinoblotting, the SNA-reactive fraction of KC mGPs was shown to correspond to denatured forms of the two zymographic size populations (190 kDa and 500 kDa) of KC acid phosphatases. 相似文献

The majora2–6 sialoglycoproteins in detergent-extracts of Kurloff cells were purified by anion-exchange andSambucus nigra agglutinin-affinity chromatographies. The similar ultrastructural localisations of (1)S. nigra agglutinin-gold conjugates and (2) acid phosphatase activities on the Kurloff body and particularly on its myelin figures indicated that the majora2-6 sialoglycoproteins of the Kurloff cell had acid phosphatase activity. Two-dimensional electrophoresis showed that these tartrate-sensitive phosphatases corresponded to 2 acidic (pI 3.4–3.7) polypeptides of 36 and 34 kDa. Hydrolysis with peptide-N-glycosidases F gave a 33 kDa apoprotein rich in alanine, glutamic acid, tyrosine and lysin. A lectin-affinity study demonstrated that they contained hybrid type bisected and fucosylatedN-linked oligosaccharides. Cytotoxic properties were previously attributed to Kurloff cells and other studies suggested that not only acid phosphatases but alsoa2-6-linked sialic acid residues themselves may participate in natural killer activity. 相似文献

Summary The Kurloff cell (KC), a natural killer lymphocyte, contains a large (10-m diameter) periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive lysosome-like inclusion body called the Kurloff body (KB), which exhibits strong acid phosphatase activity. The presence of Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA)-reactive Neu5Ac(2,6)-D-Gal/Gal-NAc(1,4)GlcNAc oligosaccharide sequences and the absence of the corresponding Neu5Ac(2,3) Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA)-reactive sequence in the major 35-kDa N-glycosylproteins of the complex or hybrid type extracted from purified KC were established by Western-lectin-blotting of cytosolic extracts from purified KC. Moreover, these SNA-reactive sequences, or at least part of them, were shown to be borne by sialidase-sensitive KC acid isophosphatases. Thymic sections rich in KC, from estrogenized guinea pigs were examined by affino-histochemistry with these sialic acid-reactive lectins. The SNA-reactivity of thymic sections was quasiexclusively confined to KC clusters, whereas the whole thymic section was negative for MAA. KC were not SNA-reactive following preincubation and incubation with 200 mM lactose. When submitted to enzymatic or mild chemical desialylation processes, the SNA-reactivity of the KC clusters was enhanced. The SNA-reactivity of KC clusters was completely abolished following prolonged chemical desialylation, whereas the PAS-positivity of KB remained unchanged. Even after a prolonged sialidase treatment, this SNA-reactivity was only reduced. Moreover, after both these desialylation processes, KC developed a heavier Ricinus communis agglutinin-reactivity, thus confirming the presence of penultimate Gal residues in their abundant SNA-reactive oligosaccharide sequences Neu5Ac(2,6)Gal(1,4)GlcNAc. Such a selective lectin histochemical property provides a marker for detecting KC. 相似文献

This study deals with the acid phosphatase (AcPase) of the Kurloff body (KB), a large (10 μm diameter) periodic acid-Schiff-positive lysosomal inclusion body present in Kurloff cells (KC). KC AcPase were extracted, with similar yields, either with non-ionic detergent solution or after Dounce homogenization in low ionic strength buffer suggesting that they mainly correspond to hydrosoluble AcPase. After DEAE-cellulose chromatography of such crude Dounce-extracts, 97% of KC AcPase activity was recovered in the unbound glycoprotein fraction (peak I). The main protein content consisted of, as testified by SDS-PAGE analysis, major KC glycoproteins of 30–35 kDa. Thus, KC AcPase, and particularly sialoAcPase, may be assumed to correspond to these N-glycosylproteins among which the presence of α(2,6) sialoglycoproteins was previously established. Following electrophoresis on a 4–15% gradient native polyacrylamide gel or isoelectric focusing, the two size populations (200 kDa and 500 kDa) and up to 20 isoforms of KC AcPase were respectively detected by zymography in peak I. After Clostridium-derived sialidase digestion of peak I, the highly active bands observed at pH 3.5 – 5.2 disappeared. These zymographic patterns were similar to those obtained with crude extracts. After Concanavalin A (ConA)-Sepharose chromatography of peak I, the single ConA-bound glucosamine-labelled peak, eluted at 200 methyl-α-d-mannopyranose, contained the AcPase activity while the ConA-unbound peak was devoid of any acid phosphatase activity. After SDS-PAGE analysis, the ConA-bound fraction appeared to correspond only to a single broad protein band in the 30–35 kDa zone. The Sambucus nigra agglutinin-reactivity of the latter band confirmed the α(2,6) sialylation pattern of KC AcPase. Moreover, their strong binding to ConA-Sepharose suggests that they could only correspond to the hybrid type of the N-glycosylproteins, since they could not correspond to the oligomannosidic type considering the absence of Galanthus nivalis agglutinin-positive structures. 相似文献

Summary Male guinea pigs were given a single subcutaneous injection of estradiol, which induces formation of Kurloff cells, and serial sections of thymus were examined after 10, 12, 15 and 21 days. Kurloff cells were found in large numbers in lymphatic vessels, both outside the thymus, in the interlobular tissue, at the cortical surface and inside the cortex, suggesting migration via such structures. Large extrathymic or interlobular lymphatics communicated with a previously undescribed thymic structure-the lymphatic centre-surrounded by a marginal sinus. The orientation of lymphatic valves, and the concentration of Kurloff cells within this lymphatic centre at an early time after the administration of estradiol, indicate the existence of an afferent migratory pathway. The different morphology at different times after estradiol suggest that the treatment caused a dynamic remodeling of thymic lymphatic structures. 相似文献

Summary Kurloff cells belong to the group of macrophages as far as ultrastructure, adhesiveness and identification with Kupffer cells (in the case of the liver) are concerned. A characteristic group of features makes it easy to recognize them: PAS reaction, cyanol-blue staining, presence of myelin figures in electron microscopy and attachment to glass-slides.Kurloff cells are thymic and blood cells. They are observed in small numbers in the circulating blood and, in large quantities, in spleen (red pulp), liver (hepatic sinusoids) and lung (septal capillaries). They are absent from lymphatic nodules and from diffuse lymphatic tissues.Morphological and experimental studies indicate that, in spite of some equivocal similarities, Kurloff cells are distinguishable by many criteria from erythrophagocytic cells and from protein-secreting blood cells.The authors wish to express their appreciation to all those who have so kindly assisted in the preparation of this paper: Professor P.

We established the presence of nonspecific esterases in the Kurloff cell (KC) by cytochemical methods at both light and electron microscope levels. Acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) activities were localized on the external face of the plasma membrane and on the external surface of the membrane surrounding the Kurloff body. Different cytosoluble KC extracts were obtained from purified splenic KC suspensions. About 18 isoenzymes were observed by isoelectric focusing, whereas after polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis in native conditions almost all activity was observed on a few broad bands with very high apparent molecular weights, suggesting their oligomeric arrangement. After a first aqueous extraction step which released only a few isoenzymes, the remaining pellet was subjected to Triton X-100. This released almost all the isoenzymes observed after direct Triton X-100 extraction. These data suggest that almost all the KC esterases are membrane-bound enzymes, in agreement with the subcellular enzyme distribution. Different substrates were also used to characterize the different specificities of the KC isoesterases. Weak activity was detected with alpha-naphthyl butyrate by light cytochemistry, which essentially corresponded, on zymograms, to the membrane-bound esterase activity. 相似文献

Summary— Urea or guanidine hydrochloride-soluble extracts from highly purified Kurloff cells (KC) radiolabelled in vitro were subjected to DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Among the three anionic peaks obtained, a major and non-sulphated peak (designated as peak IV) strongly affected by glucosamine-labelling and eluted at about 0.3 M NaCl was analyzed. Gel filtration on Sepharose CL4B and 10% SDS-PAGE indicated its heterogeneous size. Peak IV consisted mainly of N-glycans as shown by its susceptibility to tunicamycin. Further insight into its chemical nature was obtained by examining its binding capacity to different lectins and by immunodot analysis. It strongly interacted with concanavalin A (Con A) after dot-blot or Western blotting. A large amount of these glycoproteins is not of the high-mannose type since Galanthus nivalis agglutinin reacted weakly with peak IV. Moreover, bindings to Phaseolus vulgaris and to wheat germ agglutinins suggest the presence of bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residues. Bindings to Sambucus nigra and to Ricinus communis agglutinins, dramatically lessened and increased respectively after desialylation, suggest the presence of Neu5Acα2,6Gal/GalNAc sequences. The absence of outer sialic acid residues linked α2,3 to galactose was demonstrated following Maackia amurensis agglutinin negativity. The use of poly(α2,8-sialyl) endo-N-acylneuraminidase combined with immunodot procedure with a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes α2,8-linked polysialic chains revealed that peak IV contains oligosac-charidic epitopes common to polysialyated neural cell adhesion molecules. 相似文献

Summary Adult female guinea pigs received subcutaneous implants of diethylstilbestrol-cholestrol pellets which produced splenomegaly and increased numbers of splenic Kurloff cells. Latex spheres subsequently injected intravenously were not phagocytized by Kurloff cells within the lungs and spleen as examined with the electron microscope. This is considered as evidence that Kurloff cells are probably not phagocytic. The origin of these cells is discussed. 相似文献

Endogenous proteins of cell-free preparations of hen oviduct labeled from GDP-[14C]Man or from [Man-14C]oligosaccharide-lipid have been compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Under the conditions tested, a polypeptide chain of molecular weight about 25,000 was the principle acceptor for the oligosaccharide moiety of exogenous [Man-14C]oligosaccharide-lipid. The product labeled by [Man-14C]oligosaccharide-lipid appeared identical with one of three glycoproteins formed when GDP-[14C]Man was incubated with a crude membrane fraction. These three proteins (apparent molecular weight of 75,000, 55,000, and 25,000) accounted for nearly two-thirds of the [14C]mannose-labeled glycoprotein products using GDP-[14C]Man and either the crude membrane fraction or a total oviduct homogenate. Thus, all of the mannose acceptor proteins present in the oviduct homogenate appear to be membrane-bound. Analyses of the [Man-14C]glycoproteins labeled from GDP-[14C]Man in membrane fractions from hen kidney, liver, brain, and oviduct indicated that a labeled polypeptide of apparent molecular weight 25,000 was the only major protein product common to the four preparations. 相似文献

Stimulation of dopamine synthesis and activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by phorbol diesters in rat striatum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In rat striatal synaptosomes, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), two activators of Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) increased dopamine (DA) synthesis measured by following the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C] tyrosine. Maximal stimulation (21-28% increase of basal rate) was produced by 0.5 microM PMA and 1 microM PDBu. 4 beta-Phorbol and 4 beta-phorbol 13-acetate, which are not activators of protein kinase C, were ineffective at 1 microM. PMA did not change the release of 14CO2 from L-[1-14C]DOPA. Addition of 1 mM EGTA to a Ca2+-free incubation medium failed to affect PMA stimulation. KC1 (60 mM) enhanced DA synthesis by 25%. Exposure of synaptosomes to either PMA or PDBu prior to KC1 addition resulted in a more than additive increase (80-100%) of DA synthesis. A similar synergistic effect was observed when the phorbol diesters were combined with either veratridine or d-amphetamine but not with forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Pretreatment of striatal synaptosomes with phorbol diesters produced an activation on of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) associated with a 60% increase of the Vmax and a decrease of the Km for the pterine cofactor 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. These results indicate that protein kinase C participates in the regulation of striatal TH in situ and that its activation may act synergistically with DA releasing agents in stimulating DA synthesis. 相似文献

Incorporation of L-[U-14C]leucine and of D[U-14C]glucose into proteins of fresh human gastric mucosa in vitro was studied after incubation of homogenized tissue and of intact mucosal pieces. CsCl centrifugation was used to separate high-density mucus glycoproteins from other mucosal proteins, and the macromolecular nature of radioactive mucosal glycoprotein fractions was confirmed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and autoradiography of the polyacrylamide gels. In all experiments a substantial proportion of total incorporated radioactivity was associated with gastric-mucosal glycoprotein fractions (CsCl fraction L3), indicating their biosynthesis. Radioactivity of these fractions was shown to co-chromatograph with carbohydrates when fractionated either directly or after reduction and alkylation (1) Sephadex G-200 chromatography in the excluded fractions and (2) by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. On incubation of intact mucosa, the major portion of radioactivity associated with the glycoprotein fractions of both leucine- and glucose-labelled specimens was secreted into the mucosal media during the course of the experiment. It is suggested that biosynthesis of mucus in vivo by gastric mucosa may be associated with rapid secretion of the synthesized macromolecules into the lumen of the stomach and that investigations of the metabolic processes within the mucosa should consider the products of secretion of the tissue. Incorporation of L-[U-14C]leucine implies biosynthesis of the polypeptide components of the macromolecules. 相似文献

The presence in the Golgi fraction of glycoproteins destined to be incorporated into the microsomal membrane was investigated. When incubated in sucrose, washed Golgi vesicles released four major, weakly acidic glycoproteins, some of which could be incorporated into microsomal membranes by incubation. Double labeling with [3H]glucosamine and [14C]leucine demonstrated the incorporation of both protein and oligosaccharide moieties, and the main peak of radioactivity was associated with the 70,000 mol wt region after SDS-gel electrophoresis. The proteins that could be incorporated into microsomes were probably associated to a large extent with the outer surface of the Golgi membrane. Centrifugation of the proteins released from the Golgi in a KBr solution (p = 1.24) resulted in a separation of glycoproteins, those in the top layer most actively incorporated into microsomes. The lipoglycoproteins in the top layer that could be incorporated appeared in the 70,000 mol wt region after SDS-gel electrophoresis, as did the corresponding proteins isolated from the supernate. These results suggest that glycoproteins with completed oligosaccharide chains are released from the Golgi system to the cytosol and are subsequently transferred to microsomes as constitutive membrane components. 相似文献

Previously we have reported that among the proteins of purified pseudorabies virions there are four major glycoproteins (T. Ben-Porat and A. S. Kaplan, Virology 41:265-273, 1970). Several minor glycoproteins can also be identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Removal of the viral envelope with Triton X-100 selectively removes from the virions all of the glycoproteins as well as several non-glycosylated proteins. Sedimentation analysis or chromatography of these proteins reveals that several are complexed with one another, some being covalently linked via disulfide bridges. Analysis of the proteins by immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies reactive with the membrane proteins showed also that three of the four major virus glycoproteins (125K, 74K, and 58K; gIIa, gIIb, and gIIc, respectively) are linked covalently by disulfide bridges. Furthermore, all three share extensive sequence homology as indicated by the identity of their antigenic determinants and by partial peptide mapping; they probably originate from a single protein precursor. The fourth major glycoprotein (98K; gIII) is not complexed to any other protein. Three minor glycoproteins (130K [gI], 98K [gIV], and 62K [gV]), which form a noncovalently linked complex with a 115K nonglycosylated protein, have also been identified. Of the monoclonal antibodies used in this study, only those reactive with the major 98K glycoprotein (gIII) inhibit virus adsorption and neutralize virus infectivity in the absence of complement. However, all react with surface components of the virion, indicating that the proteins with which they react are exposed on the surface of the virions. A nomenclature for the pseudorabies virus glycoproteins is proposed. 相似文献

Erythrocyte membranes from several species were prepared by three different methods of hypotonic hemolysis and examined for variations in protein and glycoprotein content by acrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. Significant variations were noted in morphology of the membranes prepared by the different methods without attendant variations in protein patterns of the major membrane proteins for most cases observed, which show a similar pattern of nine common bands for all of the species observed. The significant difference in protein pattern which was noted was attributed to proteolytic digestion of membranes which were fragmented during preparation. Failure to remove white blood cells from membrane preparations was shown to be a significant source of the problem with proteolytic digestion. Glycoproteins were analyzed by acrylamide gel electrophoresis or by column chromatography. Each species appears to have a different major glycoprotein (or group of closely related glycoproteins). Molecular weights of glycoproteins calculated from acrylamide gel electrophoresis were found to vary with the percentage of acrylamide in the gel, indicating that these proteins do not behave in a normal fashion in this electrophoresis system. The molecular weight calculated from gel filtration data for the human membrane glycoproteins (26,000) was quite disparate from those calculated from gel electrophoresis (88,000 to 62,000 in 5 to 10% gels). 相似文献

Comparison of the Surface Proteins and Glycoproteins On Erythrocytes of Calves Before and During Infection With Babesia Bovis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The surface proteins and glycoproteins on red cells from normal and Babesia bovis-infected calf blood have been compared. Several radiolabeling probes were used to label specifically external membrane molecules which were then separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and identified by autoradiography or fluorography. No differences were observed among the Coomassie Blue-stained membrane proteins of erythrocytes from individual uninfected calves. Comparison of red cells from these animals also indicated no qualitative differences in the surface proteins with accessible tyrosyl residues labeled by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodnation, although some quantitative variation in the uptake of radioactivity into particular proteins was observed. the major radioiodinated bands on normal bovine erythrocytes had Mr of 165, 130, 90, and 45 kiloDaltons. However, labeling of surface glycoproteins by the periodate/[3H]NaBH4 and galactose oxidase (± neuraminidase)/[3H]NaBH4 methods showed significant differences in the surface proteins of red cells from individual uninfected calves. of 14 animals tested, 5 had major labeled glycoproteins of unique Mr. No changes were observed in radioiodinated surface proteins of total red cell samples from infected calves with 0.5-6% parasitemia. Radioiodination of concentrated infected red cells from the same samples (concentrated by selective hypotonic lysis of uninfected erythrocytes in KC1) resulted in the labeling of 3 new surface proteins, with Mr of 118, 115, and 60 kiloDaltons. the same new 125I-labeled bands were identified on infected cells from 3 avirulent strains of B. bovis used in vaccine production. Furthermore, in concentrated infected cells there was very poor radiolabeling of major bands strongly labeled on uninfected cells (Mr 165, 130, and 90 kiloDaltons), suggesting parasite-induced loss of these proteins. Although there were some differences in 3H-labeled surface glycoproteins of red cells from normal and. B. bovis -infected blood, they were restricted to minor labeled bands and were not seen consistently. the labeled surface glycoproteins of concentrated infected cells were very similar to those of the uninfected red blood cells from infected blood. 相似文献

This paper reports that the Kurloff cell sulphated and chondroitinase AC sensitive material previously described filtered on Sepharose CL4B columns as 2 main populations with Kav of 0.25 and 0.44. Its alkaline treatment resulted in the elution of 2 peaks with Kav of 0.52 and 0.78. Their reduction in size observed after alkaline treatment and the 6-fold increase in the (35S) sulphate incorporation after addition of 0.1 mM xyloside to the incubation medium indicate that these intracellular sulphated glycosaminoglycans exist in the form of proteoglycans. They were characterized by their resistance to degradation by pronase, papain or cathepsin D, as assessed by gel filtration chromatography on Sepharose CL6B or CL4B. After the glycosaminoglycans were digested with chondroitinase AC, thin-layer chromatography analysis indicated the presence of delta di-4S and delta di-6S in a ratio of 7:1. The presence of such protease-resistant proteochondroitin sulphate in intracytoplasmic granules of both Kurloff cells and other natural killer cell types is emphasized. 相似文献

ANOMALIES OF MYELIN-ASSOCIATED GLYCOPROTEINS IN''QUAKING MICE 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3
Abstract— Proteins and glycoproteins in a myelin fraction isolated from Quaking mutant mice were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate and stained with Fast Green or with periodic acid-Schiff reagents. Double labelling experiments with [3H]fucose and [14C]fucose were also used to compare glycoproteins in myelin from the mutant mice with those from control mice. In the myelin fraction from the Quaking mice the basic proteins and proteolipid protein were decreased relative to the high molecular weight proteins. Some glycoproteins which are present in small amounts in myelin from normal mice were increased relative to the major glycoprotein in the myelin fraction of the Quaking mice. Furthermore, the major myelin-associated glycoprotein was shifted toward higher apparent molecular weight in comparison with controls of the same age or even with 9-day-old controls. The abnormal glycoproteins in the mutant myelin fraction could be a factor in the impairment of myelination. 相似文献

Plasma membranes from neuronal perikarya (N), protoplasmic astrocytes (A) and oligodendrocyies (O) of rat brains were analysed with respect to their protein and glycoprotein contents and specificities. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a total number of 23, 17, and 17 major proteins in N, A, and O respectively. Periodate-Schiff's staining showed that approximately 40–60% of these proteins were glycoproteins. The reactivity of these glycoproteins to Con A and WGA was also studied. Selective iodination of whole cells followed by electrophoresis and autoradiography indicated that of the major proteins, only 25% of neuronal and 60% of astroglial and oligodendroglial membrane proteins were exposed outside the cell surface. The overall results suggest that membrane proteins of each of the three cell types studied here have characteristically different internal and external markers differing in size, glycoprotein content, and reactivity of the glycoproteins to lectins. 相似文献
