Numerous cell types, including fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, monocytes, neutrophils, and several tumor cells express the 67-kD galactolectin, homologous to the alternatively spliced variant of β-galactosidase. The 67-kD protein resides on the cell surfaces and is capable of interacting with elastin, laminin and collagen type IV. This peripheral membrane protein binds its matrix ligands but only in the absence of galactosugars, whereas binding of galactosugar-containing moieties to its lectin site changes its molecular folding which causes discharge of the ligand and release of the receptor from the cell surface. This review will address the functional significance of the single receptor that interacts with multiple matrix proteins and can be shed from cell surfaces by galactosugars. I will emphasize the role of the 67-kD protein in divergent cellular processes, such as cell-matrix attachment, matrix assembly, cellular chemotaxis, and active migration through the vascular walls. 相似文献

The 67-kD elastin-binding protein (EBP) mediates cell adhesion to elastin and elastin fiber assembly, and it is similar, if not identical, to the 67-kD enzymatically inactive, alternatively spliced beta-galactosidase. The latter contains an elastin binding domain (S- GAL) homologous both to the aorta EBP and to NH2-terminal sequences of serine proteinases (Hinek, A., M. Rabinovitch, F. W. Keeley, and J. Callahan. 1993. J. Clin. Invest. 91:1198-1205). We now confirm the functional importance of this homology by showing that elastolytic activity of a representative serine elastase, porcine pancreatic elastase, was prevented by an antibody (anti-S-GAL) and by competing with purified EBP or S-GAL peptide. Immunohistochemistry of adult aorta indicates that the EBP exists as a permanent component of mature elastic fibers. This observation, together with the in vitro studies, suggests that the EBP could protect insoluble elastin from extracellular proteolysis and contribute to the extraordinary stability of this protein. Double immunolabeling of fetal lamb aorta with anti-S- GAL and antitropoelastin antibodies demonstrated, under light and electron microscopy, intracellular colocalization of the proteins in smooth muscle cells (SMC). Incubation of SMC with galactosugars to dissociate tropoelastin from EBP caused intracellular aggregation of tropoelastin. A tropoelastin/EBP complex was extracted from SMC lysates by coimmunoprecipitation and cross-linking, and its functional significance was addressed by showing that its dissociation by galactosugars caused degradation of tropoelastin by endogenous serine proteinase(s). This suggests that the EBP may also serve as a "companion" to intracellular tropoelastin, protecting this highly hydrophobic protein from self-aggregation and proteolytic degradation. 相似文献

The plasma membrane of murine erythro-leukemia (MEL) cells contains a 140-kD protein that binds specifically to fibronectin. A 125I-labeled 140-kD protein from surface-labeled uninduced MEL cells was specifically bound by an affinity matrix that contained the 115-kD cell binding fragment of fibronectin, and specifically eluted by a synthetic peptide that has cell attachment-promoting activity. The loss of this protein during erythroid differentiation was correlated with loss of cellular adhesion to fibronectin. Both MEL cells and reticulocytes attached to the same site on fibronectin as do fibroblasts since adhesion of erythroid cells to fibronectin was specifically blocked by a monoclonal antibody directed against the cell-binding fragment of fibronectin and by a synthetic peptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser sequence found in the cell-binding fragment of fibronectin. Erythroid cells attached specifically to surfaces coated either with the 115-kD cell-binding fragment of fibronectin or with the synthetic peptide-albumin complex. Thus, the erythroid 140-kD protein exhibits several properties in common with those described for the fibronectin receptor of fibroblasts. We propose that loss or modification of this protein at the cell surface is responsible for the loss of cellular adhesion to fibronectin during erythroid differentiation. 相似文献

Signaling pathways transduced through the elastin receptor facilitate proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
In this report we demonstrate that soluble peptides, elastin degradation products stimulate proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells. We show that these effects are due to generation of intracellular signals transduced through the cell surface elastin receptor, which consists of peripheral 67-kDa elastin-binding protein (EBP) (spliced variant of beta-galactosidase), immobilized to the transmembrane sialidase and the protective protein. We found that elastin receptor-transduced signaling triggers activation of G proteins, opening of l-type calcium channels, and a sequential activation of tyrosine kinases: FAK, c-Src, platelet-derived growth factor-receptor kinase and then Ras-Raf-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 phosphorylation cascade. This, in turn, causes an increase in expression of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases, and a consequent increase in cellular proliferation. The EBP-transduced signals also induce tyrosine kinase-dependent phosphorylation of beta-tubulin, LC3, microtubule-associated protein 1, and alpha-actin and troponin-T, which could be linked to reorganization of cytoskeleton. We have also disclosed that induction of these signals can be abolished by anti-EBP antibody or by galactosugars, which cause shedding of EBP from the cell surface. Moreover, elastin-derived peptides did not induce proliferation of EBP-deficient cells derived from patients bearing a nonsense mutation of the beta-galactosidase gene or sialidase-deficient cells from patients with congenital sialidosis. 相似文献

The ability of thioglycollate (TG)-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages to adhere to a laminin substratum has been studied. These cells do not adhere to laminin-coated (20 micrograms/ml) surfaces, but the addition of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA; 50 ng/ml) results in their rapid adherence and spreading on this substratum. TG-elicited and PMA-activated macrophages, however, can bind soluble laminin. Macrophages adhere to fibronectin-coated surfaces and tissue culture plastic without PMA stimulation, and PMA does not increase the number of cells that adhere to these surfaces. The predominant surface proteins that bind specifically to laminin-Sepharose exhibit an Mr of 67 and 36 kD, but the expression of these proteins does not increase after PMA stimulation. Laminin receptor antibodies immunoprecipitate the 67-kD protein from radiolabled surface lysates and are capable of blocking macrophage adherence to a laminin substratum. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy indicates that PMA stimulation does not increase receptor expression, but that it may induce the aggregation of the receptor on the cell surface. PMA stimulation also promotes macrophage spreading and induces a reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Taken together, these data indicate the mechanism by which PMA promotes macrophage adherence to laminin does not involve increased 67-kD receptor surface expression, but that it is related to the changes in cytoskeletal and receptor surface organization that occur in response to PMA stimulation. 相似文献

We have investigated the binding of soluble tenascin-C (TN-C) to several cell lines using a radioligand binding assay. Specific binding was demonstrated to U-251MG human glioma cells and to a line of bovine aortic endothelial cells, but hamster fibroblasts showed no specific binding. Recombinant proteins corresponding to specific domains of TN-C were used to map the binding site(s) in TN-C. The alternatively spliced segment (TNfnA-D) inhibited the binding of native TN-C most strongly, and itself bound to glioma and endothelial cells. Scatchard analysis of TNfnA-D binding indicated 2-5 x 10(5) binding sites per cell, with an apparent 2 nM dissociation constant. The cell surface receptor for TNfnA-D was identified as a 35-kD protein on the basis of blot binding assays and affinity chromatography of membrane extracts on native TN-C and TNfnA-D columns. Protein sequencing indicated that this 35-kD receptor was annexin II. Annexin II is well characterized as a cytoplasmic protein, so it was surprising to find it as a presumably extracellular receptor for TN-C. To confirm that it was the 35-kD receptor, we obtained purified annexin II and demonstrated its binding to TNfnA-D and TN-C at nM concentrations. Antibodies to annexin II prominently stained the external surface of live endothelial cells and blocked the binding of TNfnA-D to the cells. Thus annexin II appears to be a receptor for the alternatively spliced segment of TN-C, and may mediate cellular responses to soluble TN-C in the extracellular matrix. 相似文献

The 67-kD laminin receptor (67LR) is a cell membrane-associated molecule exhibiting high affinity for the basement membrane glycoprotein, laminin. While export of the 67LR toward the extracellular matrix has been recently suggested by electron microscopy studies, there is to date no evidence of shedding of the 67LR from cells. Using two monoclonal antibodies directed against the 67LR, we developed a double-determinant radioimmunoassay that demonstrates that the 67LR is released from cancer cells into the culture medium. The shed molecule exhibited the same apparent molecular weight as that of the membrane-associated 67LR, suggesting that no proteolytic cleavage is involved in the process. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the 67LR is not anchored to the membrane through a glycolsyl-phosphatidylinositol bridge. However, the observation that lactose increased the release of 67LR suggests that a lectin-type interaction is involved in the cell membrane association of this laminin binding protein and the cell surface. Interestingly, the released 67LR recovered after HPLC gel filtration was found free as well as associated to high molecular weight complexes. The free 67LR retained its ability to bind to the cell surface. Our study is the first demonstration that the 67LR is effectively shed by cancer cells. The released free 67LR could play an important role in modulating interactions between cancer cells and laminin during tumor invasion and metastasis. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Lysosomal sialidase (neuraminidase-1) is targeted to the cell surface in a multiprotein complex that facilitates elastic fiber assembly 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have established previously that the 67-kDa elastin-binding protein (EBP), identical to the spliced variant of beta-galactosidase, acts as a recyclable chaperone that facilitates secretion of tropoelastin. (Hinek, A., Keeley, F. W., and Callahan, J. W. (1995) Exp. Cell Res. 220, 312-324). We now demonstrate that EBP also forms a cell surface-targeted molecular complex with protective protein/cathepsin A and sialidase (neuraminidase-1), and provide evidence that this sialidase activity is a prerequisite for the subsequent release of tropoelastin. We found that treatment with sialidase inhibitors repressed assembly of elastic fibers in cultures of human skin fibroblasts, aortic smooth muscle cells, and ear cartilage chondrocytes and caused impaired elastogenesis in developing chick embryos. Fibroblasts derived from patients with congenital sialidosis (primary deficiency of neuraminidase-1) and galactosialidosis (secondary deficiency of neuraminidase-1) demonstrated impaired elastogenesis, which could be reversed after their transduction with neuraminidase-1 cDNA or after treatment with bacterial sialidase, which has a similar substrate specificity to human neuraminidase-1. We postulate that neuraminidase-1 catalyzes removal of the terminal sialic acids from carbohydrate chains of microfibrillar glycoproteins and other adjacent matrix glycoconjugates, unmasking their penultimate galactosugars. In turn, the exposed galactosugars interact with the galectin domain of EBP, thereby inducing the release of transported tropoelastin molecules and facilitating their subsequent assembly into elastic fibers. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis studies have suggested that additional peptide information in the central cell-binding domain of fibronectin besides the minimal Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence is required for its full adhesive activity. The nature of this second, synergistic site was analyzed further by protein chemical and immunological approaches using biological assays for adhesion, migration, and matrix assembly. Fragments derived from the cell-binding domain were coupled covalently to plates, and their specific molar activities in mediating BHK cell spreading were compared with that of intact fibronectin. A 37-kD fragment purified from chymotryptic digests of human plasma fibronectin had essentially the same specific molar activity as intact fibronectin. In contrast, other fragments such as an 11.5-kD fragment lacking NH2-terminal sequences of the 37-kD fragment had only poor spreading activity on a molar basis. Furthermore, in competitive inhibition assays of fibronectin-mediated cell spreading, the 37-kD fragment was approximately 325-fold more active than the GRGDS synthetic peptide on a molar basis. mAbs were produced using the 37-kD protein as an immunogen and their epitopes were characterized. Two separate mAbs, one binding close to the RGD site and the other to a site approximately 15 kD distant from the RGD site, individually inhibited BHK cell spreading on fibronectin by greater than 90%. In contrast, an antibody that bound between these two sites had minimal inhibitory activity. The antibodies found to be inhibitory in cell spreading assays for BHK cells also inhibited both fibronectin-mediated cell spreading and migration of human HT-1080 cells, functions which were also dependent on function of the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin (fibronectin receptor). Assembly of endogenously synthesized fibronectin into an extracellular matrix was not significantly inhibited by most of the anti-37-kD mAbs, but was strongly inhibited only by the antibodies binding close to the RGD site or the putative synergy site. These results indicate that a second site distant from the RGD site on fibronectin is crucial for its full biological activity in diverse functions dependent on the alpha 5 beta 1 fibronectin receptor. This site is mapped by mAbs closer to the RGD site than previously expected. 相似文献

The biological activity of many cytokines is regulated by binding proteins present at the cell surface, in extracellular matrices or in soluble phase. We describe here a TGF-beta binding protein that is both an extracellular matrix and a cell surface protein. When intact extracellular matrices of HEP-G2 cells were affinity cross-linked with 125I-TGF-beta 1, two major binding components were seen: a 250-kD, proteoglycan-like molecule, presumed to be betaglycan, and a 60-kD protein. The 60-kD TGF-beta-binding protein was also present at the cell surface. It could be released from the cell surface by treating cells with high salt, heparin, chondroitin sulfate, heparitinase, or chondroitinase, indicating that it is bound to heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. The 60-kD protein bound TGF-beta 1 with an apparent dissociation constant of 1.6 nM, and there were 30,000 binding sites per cell at the cell surface. In addition to the HEP-G2 cells and another hepatoma cell line, the 60-kD protein was also found in a human colon carcinoma (HT-29) cell line but not in rat kidney (NRK- 49F) or human fibroblast (HUT-12) cell lines. The 60-kD protein could be extracted from cells containing it and transferred to the surface of previously negative cells. The 60-kD protein may serve to regulate the binding of TGF-beta to its signal transducing receptors by targeting TGF-beta to appropriate locations in the microenvironment of cells. 相似文献

55-kD actin-bundling protein (p55) is a specific marker for identifying vascular dendritic cells. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Compared with other members of the dendritic cell family, the antigen profile of the recently recognized vascular dendritic cells has received limited attention. This study demonstrates that vascular dendritic cells in the human aorta and carotid arteries express 55-kD actin-bundling protein (p55), a specific marker for blood dendritic cells and Langerhans cells. This finding will facilitate screening of dendritic cells during their isolation from the arterial wall, as well as other investigations.(J Histochem Cytochem 47:1481-1486, 1999) 相似文献

Mouse-hatched blastocysts cultured in vitro will attach and form outgrowths of trophoblast cells on appropriate substrates, providing a model for implantation. Immediately after hatching, the surfaces of blastocysts are quiescent and are not adhesive. Over the period 24-36 h post-hatching, blastocysts cultured in serum-free medium become adhesive and attach and spread on the extracellular matrix components fibronectin, laminin, and collagen type IV in a ligand specific manner. Attachment and trophoblast outgrowth on these substrates can be inhibited by addition to the culture medium of an antibody, anti-ECMr (anti-extracellular matrix receptor), that recognizes a group of 140-kD glycoproteins similar to those of the 140-kD extracellular matrix receptor complex (integrin) recognized in avian cells by CSAT and JG22 monoclonal antibodies. Addition to the culture medium of a synthetic peptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide cell recognition sequence of fibronectin inhibits trophoblast outgrowth on both laminin and fibronectin. However, the presence of the peptide does not affect attachment of the blastocysts to either ligand. Immunoprecipitation of 125I surface-labeled embryos using anti-ECMr reveals that antigens recognized by this antibody are exposed on the surfaces of embryos at a time when they are spreading on the substrate, but are not detectable immediately after hatching. Immunofluorescence experiments show that both the ECMr antigens and the cytoskeletal proteins vinculin and talin are enriched on the cell processes and ventral surfaces of trophectoderm cells in embryo outgrowths, in patterns similar to those seen in fibroblasts, and consistent with their role in adhesion of the trophoblast cells to the substratum. 相似文献

The active form of fibronectin is its extracellular matrix form, which allows for the attachment of cells and influences both the growth and migration of cells. The matrix form is assembled by cells; however, many cells are defective in this regard. Several regions within fibronectin have been shown to play a role in matrix assembly by cells. One such region has been localized into the first type III repeat of fibronectin (Chernousov, M. A., F. J. Fogerty, V. E. Koteliansky, and D. F. Mosher. J. Biol. Chem. 266:10851-10858). We have identified this site as a fibronectin-fibronectin binding site and reproduced it as a synthetic peptide. This site is contained in a 14-kD fragment that corresponds to portions of the first two type III repeats. The 14-kD fragment was found to bind to cell monolayers and to inhibit fibronectin matrix assembly. The 14-kD fragment only slightly reduced the binding of fibronectin to cell surfaces but it significantly inhibited the subsequent incorporation of fibronectin into the extracellular matrix. The 14-kD fragment also bound to purified fibronectin and inhibited fibronectin-fibronectin binding. A synthetic 31-amino acid peptide (P1) representing a segment of the 14-kD fragment retained the ability to inhibit fibronectin-fibronectin binding. Peptide P1 specifically bound fibronectin from plasma in affinity chromatography, whereas a column containing another peptide from the 14-kD fragment did not. These results define a fibronectin-fibronectin binding site that appears to promote matrix assembly by allowing the assembly of fibronectin molecules into nascent fibrils. The 14-kD fragment and the P1 peptide that contain this site inhibit matrix assembly by competing for the fibronectin-fibronectin binding. 相似文献

Yolk granules were collected from full-grown ovarian oocytes of the newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster , and dissolved in 3% acetic acid or 8 M urea solution. Culture dishes were then coated with either of the yolk-granule solutions. The yolk-coated surfaces acted as adhesive substrata for dissociated gastrula cells, which showed active locomotion when spread on the surfaces. Divalent cation was required for cell adhesion and spreading on the yolk-coated surface. Trypsin and glycosidase digestions of dissociated cells or the yolk-coated surfaces inhibited cell adhesion and spreading. Addition of concanavalin A to the culture medium inhibited cell spreading on the yolk-coated surfaces, while high concentration (50 mM) of the saccharides, D-galactose, D-lactose and D-mannose, had a slightly inhibitory effect on cell spreading.
Two yolk components (30-kD and 108-kD proteins) were isolated from yolk granules and applied to the culture dish surfaces. Surfaces coated with the 30-kD protein showed strong adhesiveness for dissociated gastrula cells. 相似文献

1. A gingival epithelial cell surface receptor for laminin was isolated from bovine gingival tissue by affinity chromatography on laminin. 2. The protein bound by the affinity matrix from octylglucoside extracts of gingival membrane preparation eluted from the column with the cation-free buffer containing EDTA, and exhibited a mol. wt of 67 kDa. 3. The 67 kDa protein following radioiodination was incorporated into liposomes, which showed a specific affinity towards laminin-coated surfaces, as well as to the tooth cementum. 4. The results provide for the first time evidence for the existence of a gingival cell surface laminin receptor, and indicate that the maintenance of the cemento-epithelial junction involves the interaction between the cementum laminin and its receptor on gingival epithelium. 相似文献

We have studied the posttranslational modifications of the 52-kD protein, an estrogen-regulated autocrine mitogen secreted by several human breast cancer cells in culture (Westley, B., and H. Rochefort, 1980, Cell, 20:353-362). The secreted 52-kD protein was found to be phosphorylated mostly (94%) on high-mannose N-linked oligosaccharide chains, and mannose-6-phosphate signals were identified. The phosphate signal was totally removed by alkaline phosphatase hydrolysis. The secreted 52-kD protein was partly taken up by MCF7 cells via mannose-6-phosphate receptors and processed into 48- and 34-kD protein moieties as with lysosomal hydrolases. By electron microscopy, immunoperoxidase staining revealed most of the reactive proteins in lysosomes. After complete purification by immunoaffinity chromatography, we identified both the secreted 52-kD protein and its processed cellular forms as aspartic and acidic proteinases specifically inhibited by pepstatin. The 52-kD protease is secreted in breast cancer cells under its inactive proenzyme form, which can be autoactivated at acidic pH with a slight decrease of molecular mass. The enzyme of breast cancer cells, when compared with cathepsin D(s) of normal tissue, was found to be similar in molecular weight, enzymatic activities (inhibitors, substrates, specific activities), and immunoreactivity. However, the 52-kD protein and its cellular processed forms of breast cancer cells were totally sensitive to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H), whereas several cellular cathepsin D(s) of normal tissue were partially Endo H-resistant. This difference, in addition to others concerning tissue distribution, mitogenic activity and hormonal regulation, strongly suggests that the 52-kD cathepsin D-like enzyme of breast cancer cells is different from previously described cathepsin D(s). The 52-kD estrogen-induced lysosomal proteinase may have important functions in facilitating the mammary cancer cells to proliferate, migrate, and metastasize. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) were raised against the aggregation factor (AF) from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium. Two clones were identified that secrete McAbs against the cell binding protein of the AF complex. Fab fragments of McAbs: 5D2-D11 completely abolished the activity of the AF to form secondary aggregates from single cells. The McAbs were determined to react with the AF in vitro; this interaction was prevented by addition of the aggregation receptor, isolated and purified from the same species. After dissociation of the AF by sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol, followed by electrophoretical fractionation, a 47-kD protein was identified by immunoblotting which interacted with the McAbs: 5D2-D11. During this dissociation procedure, the sunburst structure of the AF was destroyed. In a second approach, the 47-kD protein was isolated by immunoprecipitation; 12 molecules of this protein species were calculated to be associated with the intact AF particle. The 47-kD AF fragment bound to dissociated Geodia cells with a high affinity (Ka of 7 X 10(8) M-1) even in the absence of Ca++ ions; the number of binding sites was approximately 4 X 10(6)/cell. This interaction was prevented by addition of the aggregation receptor to the 47-kD protein in the homologous cell system. Moreover, it was established that this binding occurs species-specifically. The 47-kD fragment of the AF was localized only extracellularly by indirect immunofluorescence staining in cryostat slices. These data suggest that the 47-kD protein is the cell binding molecule of the AF from Geodia. 相似文献

Bovine capillary endothelial (BCE) cells were incubated at 4 degrees C with 5 ng/ml 125I-basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to equilibrate 125I-bFGF with high affinity cell surface receptors and low affinity matrix binding sites. 67% of the added 125I-bFGF bound to the matrix and 7% bound to receptors. The fate of bound bFGF was followed after cells were incubated in bFGF-free medium and were shifted to 37 degrees C to restore cell metabolism. 125I-bFGF bound to receptors decreased rapidly while the amount of 125I-bFGF bound to matrix was reduced more slowly. The rapid decrease in receptor-bound 125I-bFGF appeared to be due to a down-regulation of bFGF receptors; cells that had been treated for 5 h with bFGF had 60% fewer high affinity receptors than untreated cells. Despite the initial high level of 125I-bFGF binding to matrix, most of this 125I-bFGF was mobilized and metabolized by the cells. 125I-bFGF was internalized by the cells at 37 degrees C, leading to a constant accumulation of 125I-bFGF within the cell. Internalized bFGF was rapidly cleaved from an 18-kD form to a 16-kD form. The 16-kD form was more slowly degraded with a half-life of approximately 8 h. Degradation of internalized 125I-bFGF was inhibited by chloroquine, suggesting that the digestion occurred in a lysosomal compartment. The role of matrix binding sites in the internalization process was investigated. Binding to matrix sites seemed not to be directly involved in the internalization process, since addition of heparin at a concentration that blocked 95% of the binding to matrix had no effect on the initial rate of internalization of bFGF. BCE cells also released a substance that competed for the binding of bFGF to matrix but not to receptors. This substance bound to DEAE-cellulose and was sensitive to heparinase treatment, suggesting that it was a heparinlike molecule. Thus, heparinlike molecules produced by BCE cells can modulate the cellular interaction with bFGF. Matrix-associated heparinlike molecules bind bFGF which can later be metabolized by the cell, and secreted heparinlike molecules release bFGF from matrices. 相似文献

A protein of 62 kD is a substrate of a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and both proteins copurify with isolated mitotic apparatuses (Dinsmore, J. H., and R. D. Sloboda. 1988. Cell. 53:769-780). Phosphorylation of the 62-kD protein increases after fertilization; maximum incorporation of phosphate occurs during late metaphase and anaphase and correlates directly with microtubule disassembly as determined by in vitro experiments with isolated mitotic apparatuses. Because 62-kD protein phosphorylation occurs in a pattern similar to the accumulation of the mitotic cyclin proteins, experiments were performed to determine the relationship between cyclin and the 62-kD protein. Continuous labeling of marine embryos with [35S]methionine, as well as immunoblots of marine embryo proteins using specific antibodies, were used to identify both cyclin and the 62-kD protein. These results clearly demonstrate that the 62-kD protein is distinct from cyclin and, unlike cyclin, is a constant member of the cellular protein pool during the first two cell cycles in sea urchin and surf clam embryos. Similar results were obtained using immunofluorescence microscopy of intact eggs and embryos. In addition, immunogold electron microscopy reveals that the 62-kD protein associates with the microtubules of the mitotic apparatus in dividing cells. Interestingly, the protein changes its subcellular distribution with respect to microtubules during the cell cycle. Specifically, during mitosis the 62-kD protein associates with the mitotic apparatus; before nuclear envelope breakdown, however, the 62-kD protein is confined to the nucleus. After anaphase, the 62-kD protein returns to the nucleus, where it resides until nuclear envelope disassembly of the next cell cycle. 相似文献
