Experiments are described for the partial purification of the 80-kDa LPS binding protein expressed on macrophages and lymphocytes. This partially purified Ag was used to immunize adult Armenian hamsters and splenocytes from immunized animals were fused with murine myeloma cell lines. Hybridoma cell culture supernatants containing mAb were screened by ELISA for positive binding to the immunizing Ag, murine splenocytes and the murine 70Z/3 pre B cell and for an absence of binding to sheep E. Positive clones were further screened for reciprocal competitive binding with LPS on spleen cells and ability to modulate B lymphocyte mitogenic activity. Two hybridoma cell lines secreting IgM monoclonals, termed mAb3D7 and mAb5D3, were identified that satisfied all of the selection criteria. These hybridoma cell lines were subcloned and expanded. Binding of one (mAb3D7) was abrogated by treatment of Ag with mild periodate; binding of the second (mAb5D3) was destroyed by digestion of Ag with proteinase K. Binding specificity for mAb5D3 has been confirmed by ELISA using highly purified 80-kDa protein. These mAb have been of value in establishing that the 80-kDa LPS binding protein previously identified may serve as a specific functional receptor for LPS. 相似文献

Specific endotoxic lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins on murine splenocytes. II. Membrane localization and binding characteristics 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
We have characterized the binding of LPS to an 80-kDa LPS-binding protein detected by an LPS photoaffinity probe to be present on murine splenocytes. Specific binding of LPS to the 80-kDa protein is directly proportional to LPS concentration at low concentrations of LPS and is saturable at high concentrations of LPS. Binding is inhibited by both homologous and heterologous underivatized LPS as well as by polysaccharide-free lipid A, indicating a specificity for the biologically active component of LPS. Analysis of the kinetics of binding indicate a time-dependent increase over the first 15 min, but increases are not detected after this time. Binding of LPS to the 80-kDa LPS-binding protein is reduced but still readily detectable at 4 degrees C in the presence of azide. The presence of the 80-kDa LPS-binding protein in an isolated cytoplasmic membrane fraction of murine splenocytes as well as its release from intact splenocytes by octylglucoside suggest that this LPS-binding protein is membrane localized. The results are consistent with, but do not establish unequivocally, the identity of the 80-kDa LPS-binding protein as a specific membrane receptor for lipid A. 相似文献

The 32-kilodalton envelope protein of vaccinia virus synthesized in Escherichia coli binds with specificity to cell surfaces. 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
The nature of interaction between vaccinia virus and the surface of host cells as the first step in virus infection is undefined. A 32-kDa virus envelope protein has been identified as a cell surface binding protein (J.-S. Maa, J. F. Rodriguez, and M. Esteban, J. Biol. Chem. 265:1569-1577, 1990). To carry out studies on the structure-function relationship of this protein, the 32-kDa protein was obtained from Escherichia coli cells harboring the expression plasmid pT7Ek32. The recombinant polypeptide was found to have structural properties similar to those of the native virus envelope protein. Binding studies of 125I-labeled 32-kDa protein to cultured cells of various origins revealed that the E. coli-produced 32-kDa protein exhibited selectivity, specificity, and saturability. Scatchard analysis indicated about 4.5 x 10(4) sites per cell with a high affinity (Kd = 1.8 x 10(-9) M), suggesting interaction of the 32-kDa protein with a specific receptor. The availability of large quantities of the 32-kDa virus protein in bacteria will permit further structural and functional studies of this virus envelope protein and facilitate identification of the specific cell surface receptor. 相似文献

The hamster IgM mAb 5D3 is specific for an 73-kDa LPS receptor on murine leukocytes. This mAb inhibits binding of radiolabeled LPS to splenocytes and acts as an agonist for induction of LPS-mediated changes in macrophage function. Resident peritoneal macrophages treated with IFN-gamma and mAb 5D3 developed potent cytotoxic activity against tumor cells. Cells treated with IFN-gamma or mAb 5D3 alone were inactive. Macrophage cytotoxic activity induced by IFN-gamma and mAb 5D3 was inhibited by NGMMLA and coincident with high levels of NO2-released into culture fluids. These data show that mAb 5D3 serves as an effective trigger signal for induction of cytotoxic activity with IFN-gamma-primed macrophages. Indeed, mAb 5D3 exactly mimicked the effects of LPS in these same systems. Unlike LPS, effects of mAb 5D3 on induction of macrophage cytotoxic activity and production of nitrogen oxides was abrogated after boiling, and not affected by addition of polymyxin B. The effects of LPS and mAb 5D3 as a trigger signal for IFN-gamma-primed macrophages were associated with production of TNF activity in culture fluids and inhibited by mAb against rTNF-alpha. Expression of class II MHC on macrophages induced by IFN-gamma treatment was suppressed by both LPS and mAb 5D3. These suppressive effects of LPS and mAb 5D3 were not affected by NGMMLA or mAb against rTNF-alpha. Finally, macrophages treated with LPS or mAb 5D3 before exposure to IFN-gamma and LPS or mAb 5D3 did not develop cytotoxic activity or high levels of NO2- in the culture fluids. These same cells developed both effector activities after addition of rTNF-alpha. These results in toto identify the 73-kDa protein as a receptor that mediates LPS-induced changes in macrophage effector function. The mAb 5D3 serves as a specific and defined reagent agonist for analysis of LPS receptor-linked change. 相似文献

A review of the binding studies performed on the receptor (ORL) for Orphanin FQ/Nociceptin is presented. Binding studies have been conducted using a variety of receptor sources: cell lines expressing the cloned receptor, cell lines endogenously expressing the receptor, and brain and other tissue from several different species. Binding studies of opioids, new ligands and antagonists at the ORL receptor are briefly discussed. Saturation, competition and binding kinetic experiments, and the effects of buffer composition are reviewed. There are numerous instances of conflicting data in published reports on OFQ; the basis for these disparities is as yet undetermined. This review endeavors to compile the results and conditions employed in binding studies as an aid to current and new researchers in this field. In an attempt to explain binding disparities, we have determined that Orphanin/Nociceptin binds to glass fiber filtermats in a "specific" manner; these new data are presented. 相似文献

The Borna disease virus (BDV) p24 phosphoprotein is an abundant protein in BDV-infected cultured cells and animal brains. Therefore, there is a possibility that binding of the p24 protein to cellular factor(s) induces functional alterations of infected neural cells in the brain. To identify a cellular protein(s) that interacts with BDV p24 protein, we performed far-Western blotting with extracts from various cell lines. Using recombinant p24 protein as a probe, we detected a 30-kDa protein in all cell lines examined. Binding between the 30-kDa and BDV p24 proteins was also demonstrated using BDV p24 affinity and ion-exchange chromatography columns. Microsequence analysis of the purified 30-kDa protein revealed that its N terminus showed complete homology with rat amphoterin protein, which is a neurite outgrowth factor abundant in the brain during development. Mammalian two-hybrid and immunoprecipitation analyses also confirmed that amphoterin is a specific target for the p24 protein in vivo. Furthermore, we showed that infection by BDV, as well as purified p24 protein in the medium, significantly decreased cell process outgrowth of cells grown on laminin, indicating the functional inhibition of amphoterin by interaction with the p24 protein. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed decreased levels of amphoterin protein at the leading edges of BDV-infected cells. Moreover, the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products, of which the extracellular moiety is a receptor for amphoterin, was not significantly activated in BDV-infected cells during the process of extension, suggesting that the secretion of amphoterin from the cell surface is inhibited by the binding of the p24 protein. These results suggested that BDV infection may cause direct damage in the developing brain by inhibiting the function of amphoterin due to binding by the p24 phosphoprotein. 相似文献

Platelets contain exceptionally high levels of pp60c-src and, thus, provide a convenient system for investigating the physiological function of this protein-tyrosine kinase. We have employed chemical cross-linking of myristylated amino-terminal peptides of pp60c-src to platelet membranes in order to identify platelet membrane components that interact with pp60c-src to regulate or mediate its activity. We detected specific binding of radioiodinated peptides to platelet membrane proteins of 32, 50, 92, and 105 kDa. The 32-kDa protein may be related to the putative src receptor component recently identified in fibroblast membranes. The most reactive platelet protein, however, is the 50-kDa protein, which is either absent or nonreactive in fibroblast membranes. Binding of src peptides to this protein was saturable, and we estimate the presence of approximately 1 x 10(6) of the 50-kDa binding sites per platelet. The specificity of the peptide binding to the 50- and 32-kDa platelet proteins was analyzed by competition with different peptides. The binding sites displayed an absolute requirement for an N-myristoyl moiety and a strong preference for pp60c-src amino-terminal sequences. The identification of these src-interacting proteins may help to decipher the biochemical pathways in which platelet pp60c-src is involved. 相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) binding to human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) is mediated by a single type of molecule, likely a glycoprotein, which serves as a specific receptor for the virus. In the present experiments, HCMV was found to bind to an HFF membrane protein with an approximate molecular mass of 30 kilodaltons (kDa); weak binding to 28- and 92-kDa membrane components was also observed. Binding was specific, as it was inhibited by excess unlabeled HCMV. Radiolabeled HCMV also bound selectively to Raji and Daudi lymphoblastoid cell membrane proteins of the same molecular masses. The 30-kDa radiolabeled HFF membrane protein bound to HCMV in solution; this binding was also specific, as it was blocked by an excess of HCMV. These data suggest that a membrane protein with a molecular mass of approximately 30 kDa mediates HCMV binding to several cell types. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide binding protein binds to triacylated and diacylated lipopeptides and mediates innate immune responses 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

LPS binding protein (LBP) is an acute-phase protein synthesized predominantly in the liver of the mammalian host. It was first described to bind LPS of Gram-negative bacteria and transfer it via a CD14-enhanced mechanism to a receptor complex including TLR-4 and MD-2, initiating a signal transduction cascade leading to the release of proinflammatory cytokines. In recent studies, we found that LBP also mediates cytokine induction caused by compounds derived from Gram-positive bacteria, including lipoteichoic acid and peptidoglycan fragments. Lipoproteins and lipopeptides have repeatedly been shown to act as potent cytokine inducers, interacting with TLR-2, in synergy with TLR-1 or -6. In this study, we show that these compounds also interact with LBP and CD14. We used triacylated lipopeptides, corresponding to lipoproteins of Borrelia burgdorferi, mycobacteria, and Escherichia coli, as well as diacylated lipopeptides, corresponding to, e.g., 2-kDa macrophage activating lipopeptide of Mycoplasma spp. Activation of Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with TLR-2 by both lipopeptides was enhanced by cotransfection of CD14. Responsiveness of human mononuclear cells to these compounds was greatly enhanced in the presence of human LBP. Binding of lipopeptides to LBP as well as competitive inhibition of this interaction by LPS was demonstrated in a microplate assay. Furthermore, we were able to show that LBP transfers lipopeptides to CD14 on human monocytes using FACS analysis. These results support that LBP is a pattern recognition receptor transferring a variety of bacterial ligands including the two major types of lipopeptides to CD14 present in different receptor complexes. 相似文献

A glycoprotein of 78,000 molecular mass (78 kDa), associated with the membrane of Leishmania infantum promastigotes, was identified and immunopurified by monoclonal antibody (mAb) LD9 produced against isolated membrane preparations. mAb LD9 was subsequently found to bind to human transferrin, also of 78 kDa. Binding of LD9 to transferrin was completely abolished when the mAb was preabsorbed by Leishmania membranes, thereby indicating that the 78-kDa Leishmania membrane-associated glycoprotein and transferrin have common antigenic epitope(s). The 78-kDa Leishmania membrane-associated protein was released in soluble nonaggregated form by mild treatment with acetic acid saline. Anti-transferrin polyclonal antibodies, recognized both the membrane-associated and the soluble form of the 78-kDa glycoprotein. The 78-kDa soluble form was characterized further as an iron-containing protein. The above data combined with iron uptake by promastigotes as demonstrated by the Prussian blue reaction indicate that the 78-kDa Leishmania membrane-associated glycoprotein is transferrin. The binding of 125I-human transferrin to Leishmania-purified membrane preparations was then investigated. The results indicate the presence of a high affinity saturable binding site (Kd = 2.2 10(-8) M) that is specific for transferrin. We suggest that the 78-kDa glycoprotein recognized by mAb LD9 is transferrin that binds to the surface of Leishmania promastigotes via a transferrin receptor. 相似文献

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and its receptor complex have become one of the most studied members of a growing family of protein hormones characterized by structural similarities in both ligands and their receptors. Structure-function studies of IL-2 have been complicated by the multimeric nature of its receptor. Two receptor subunits (55- and 75-kDa type I cell surface proteins) can participate to form the high affinity binding site. Although the IL-2 is apparently unique in some respects, similar subunit cooperativity has now been shown to be a common feature for other members of this receptor family. The availability of cell lines expressing the individual IL-2 receptor subunits has allowed detailed analysis of subunit binding characteristics. Results regarding the relationship of molecular recognition at each subunit to the mechanism of ligand binding at the high affinity site, however, have led to different interpretations. In this study we have employed previously prepared C-terminal IL-2 mutant proteins to examine receptor binding at all three classes using a variety of equilibrium and kinetic techniques. These results indicate that the high affinity IL-2 receptor complex includes the p55/p75 heterodimer prior to IL-2 binding and that both receptor subunits participate simultaneously in ligand capture. 相似文献

A 90,000-dalton binding protein common to both steroid receptors and the Rous sarcoma virus transforming protein, pp60v-src 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Previous studies have shown that the avian progesterone receptor, when in the nontransformed 8 S state, is complexed to another cellular protein having a molecular weight of 90,000. In this report, we show that this receptor-binding protein is indistinguishable from the 90,000-dalton protein which associates in a complex with the Rous sarcoma virus transforming protein, pp60v-src. This identity was established by the following criteria. 1) Monoclonal antibodies directed against the pp60v-src-associated 90-kDa protein recognized the 90-kDa progesterone receptor binding protein in an immunoblot assay. Conversely, monoclonal antibodies that recognize the progesterone receptor binding protein bind to the 90-kDa protein which complexes with pp60v-src. 2) Peptide maps prepared from the 90-kDa proteins immunoprecipitated from chicken cells with monoclonal antibodies directed against either the 90-kDa receptor binding protein or the 90-kDa pp60v-src-associated protein were indistinguishable. 3) Preincubation of the progesterone receptor complex with monoclonal antibodies prepared against the pp60v-src-associated protein caused a shift in the sedimentation of the progesterone receptor. Previous studies have established that the pp60v-src-associated protein is indistinguishable from one of the major heat shock proteins which are induced under a variety of stress conditions in eukaryotic cells. These present studies implicate a new role for this 90-kDa protein in the action of steroid hormones. 相似文献

Induction of macrophage-mediated tumor cytotoxicity by a hamster monoclonal antibody with specificity for lipopolysaccharide receptor. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Experiments have been carried out to assess the immunostimulatory activity of a hamster IgM mAb (mAb5D3) with specificity for an 80-kDa LPS-binding protein expressed on murine macrophages and monocytes. The addition of mAb5D3 to cultures of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages activated these cells to become tumoricidal for mastocytoma cells in vitro. The activity of mAb5D3 was enhanced in the presence of IFN-gamma. Neither mAb5D3 nor LPS were able to activate macrophages from the LPS-hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ mouse, although these cells responded normally to heat-killed Listeria monocytogenes. The results of several experiments establish that the observed LPS-like activity of mAb5D3 was not due to contaminating endotoxin: 1) the activity of mAb5D3 but not LPS was heat labile at 100 degrees C; 2) the activity of LPS but not mAb5D3, was inhibited by addition of polymyxin B; and 3) quantitative estimates of endotoxin contamination by Limulus amoebocyte lysate reactivity. These experiments thus demonstrate that mAb5D3 can serve as an agonist for LPS-dependent macrophage responses and, when considered with those of our companion paper showing specificity of mAb5D3 for the 80-kDa LPS-binding protein, provide strong support for the concept that the 80-kDa LPS-binding protein previously identified serves as a functional receptor for LPS on murine macrophages. 相似文献

Heterogeneity of cell surface endothelin receptors 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Two distinct cell surface endothelin receptors were identified, namely a 73-kDa protein referred to as ET-R1 and a 60-kDa protein named ET-R2. ET-R1 was expressed as the sole endothelin receptor on rat A10 vascular smooth muscle cells and C6 glial cells. Binding of 125I-ET-1 to these cells was inhibited by 50-200 pM endothelin-1 and -2, whereas endothelin-3 did not compete for this receptor subtype. Binding of 125I-ET-1 to intact A10 and C6 cells was reversible, indicating that ET-R1 is located on the cell surface. Affinity labelling of a single 73-kDa band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels by 125I-ET-1 in A10 and C6 cells was inhibited by endothelin-1 but not by endothelin-3. In A10 cells, endothelin-1 but not endothelin-3 elicited a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular inositol trisphosphate levels. ET-R1 was also expressed in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells based on findings of a subset of receptors with an apparent molecular mass of 73 kDa that bound 125I-ET-1 displacable by endothelin-1 and endothelin-2 but not by endothelin-3. These cells also expressed the ET-R2 receptor subtype, based on findings of a 60-kDa binding site that could be labeled by both 125I-ET-1 and 125I-ET-3. Labeling of ET-R2 by the radioactive endothelins-1 and -3 was inhibited competitively by endothelins-1, -2, and -3. Furthermore, ET-R2 was shown to be a functional receptor, as endothelin-3 caused inositol trisphosphate levels to rise in mesangial cells. An endothelin binding site with high affinity for endothelin-3 was also identified on rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, although the apparent molecular mass of this receptor could not be verified by cross-linking studies. Since endothelin-1 or -3 failed to augment inositol trisphosphate levels in these cells, this binding site could represent a third endothelin receptor subtype. Thus, two distinct functional receptors for endothelins were identified on rat cells, namely the 73-kDa ET-R1 which has an exceedingly low affinity for endothelin-3 and the 60-kDa ET-R2 which binds endothelin-3 with high affinity. Whether an additional endothelin receptor subtype exists in PC12 cells remains to be shown with certainty. 相似文献

Bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PGN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which are both macrophage activators and polyclonal B cell mitogens, were shown to bind to the same dominant 70-kDa 6.5 pI protein on the surface of mouse B lymphocytes. This conclusion was supported by the following results: (a) the PGN- and LPS-binding proteins co-migrated following photoaffinity cross-linking and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; (b) cross-linking of PGN to this 70-kDa protein was competitively inhibited by LPS (IC50 = 7.3 microM), LPS from a deep rough mutant (IC50 = 6.9 microM), and lipid A (IC50 = 18-72 microM); (c) cross-linking of LPS to this 70-kDa protein was competitively inhibited by polymeric soluble PGN (IC50 = 0.09 microM) and sonicated high Mr PGN (IC50 = 0.6 microM); (d) cross-linking of both PGN and LPS to this 70-kDa protein was also competitively inhibited by dextran sulfate (IC50 = 115-124 microM); (e) cross-linking of both PGN and LPS to this 70-kDa protein was inhibited by a (GlcNAc)2-specific lectin; and (f) peptide maps of the 70-kDa proteins digested with chymotrypsin, subtilisin, staphylococcal protease V, or papain were identical for PGN- and LPS-binding proteins and unique for each enzyme. Based on competitive inhibition experiments, binding of PGN to the 70-kDa protein was 20-1200 times stronger than the binding of LPS or lipid A on a per mol basis. However, when aggregated micellar structures of LPS or lipid A were considered, the avidities of LPS and PGN binding were similar. These results demonstrate binding of PGN and LPS to the same 70-kDa protein on lymphocytes and suggest that the binding is specific for the (GlcNAc-MurNAc)n backbone of PGN and the (GlcNAc)2 part of lipid A. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains a positive-stranded RNA genome of approximately 9.5 kb. Despite the overall sequence diversity among individual HCV isolates, the 3'-end 98 nucleotides (nt) of the HCV RNA, which constitute part of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), are highly conserved. This conserved region may contain the cis-acting signals for RNA replication involving possibly both viral and cellular proteins. We carried out RNase digestion studies, which revealed that this 98-nt region contains three stem-loops but may also assume alternative structures. We further performed UV cross-linking experiments to detect cellular proteins that bound to this region. A 58-kDa cellular protein (p58) was detected. Its binding site was mapped to the stem-loops 2 and 3, which are the most conserved region of the 3'-UTR. Site-directed mutagenesis studies revealed that both stem structures and specific nucleotide sequence within the two loops are important for p58 binding. Mutations that disrupted stem structures abolished protein binding, while the compensatory mutations restored its binding. This region also contains partial sequence similarity to the reported consensus binding sequence for polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) (a 57-kDa protein). The UV-cross-linked protein could be immunoprecipitated with the anti-PTB antibody, and the recombinant PTB bound to the HCV 3'-UTR with the same binding specificity as p58, establishing that this protein is PTB. However, the reported PTB-binding sequence was not sufficient, but rather the entire stem-loops 2 and 3 were required, for PTB binding; thus, its binding specificity is significantly different from the reported PTB-binding sequence requirement. This protein was detected in both the nuclei and cytoplasm of most mammalian cell lines tested and human primary hepatocytes. PTB may participate in the regulation of HCV RNA synthesis or translation. 相似文献

The N-acetylglucosamine-specific receptor of the thyroid. Binding characteristics, partial characterization, and potential role 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The binding characteristics of the GlcNAc binding protein present in thyroid membranes (Consiglio, E., Shifrin, S., Yavin, Z., Ambesi-Impiombato, F.S., Rall, J.E., Salvatore, G., and Kohn, L.D. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 10592-10599) were reinvestigated using neoglycoproteins as probes. Plasma membrane preparations from porcine thyroid specifically bound 125I-GlcNAc35-bovine serum albumin. Binding was dependent on the presence of calcium. Binding of ligand to receptor was minimal at neutral pH and maximal at pH 5.0. Equilibrium binding studies indicated positive cooperativity of binding and a site capacity of about 60 pmol/mg of protein. Competition studies were compatible with a specificity hierarchy of GlcNAc much greater than Gal; no recognition of mannose, fucose, or glucose moieties was noted. The receptor was detergent-solubilized from plasma membrane preparations and on the basis of the defined binding properties, purified by chromatography on a GlcNAc-Sepharose affinity column. The purified GlcNAc thyroid receptor has a subunit molecular size of about 45 kDa and appears to be an oligomer composed of three subunits. The receptor was identified as a component of thyrocytes by in situ cytochemical localization with fluorescent neoglycoproteins. In certain cases it was mainly present on, or near, the apical cell surface. It is suggested that this GlcNAc receptor functions in thyroglobulin metabolism, possibly involved in recycling of internalized thyroglobulin molecules back into the follicular lumen. 相似文献

The receptor for heat shock protein 60 on macrophages is saturable, specific, and distinct from receptors for other heat shock proteins. 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Previous studies have shown that human heat shock protein (hsp) 60 elicits a strong proinflammatory response in cells of the innate immune system with CD14, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, and TLR4 as mediators of signaling, but probably not of binding. In the present study, we directly demonstrate binding of hsp60 to the macrophage surface and find the binding receptor for hsp60 different from the previously described common receptor for several other heat shock proteins, including hsp70, hsp90, and gp96. Fluorescence-labeled human hsp60 bound to cell surfaces of the murine macrophage lines J774 A.1 and RAW264.7 and to mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. By flow cytometry, we could demonstrate for the first time that hsp60 binding to macrophages occurred at submicromolar concentrations, is saturable, and can be competed by unlabeled hsp60, but not by unrelated proteins, thus confirming the classic characteristics of specific ligand-receptor interactions. Binding of hsp60 at 4 degrees C was followed by endocytosis at 37 degrees C. Hsp60 binding to macrophages could not be competed by excess hsp70, hsp90, or gp96, all of which share the alpha(2)-macroglobulin receptor as binding site. Hsp60 binding occurred in the absence of surface TLR4. However, no cytokine response was induced by hsp60 in TLR4-deficient macrophages. We conclude that hsp60 binds to a stereo-specific receptor on macrophages, and that different surface molecules are engaged in binding and signal transduction. Furthermore, the binding site for hsp60 is separate from the common receptor for hsp70, hsp90, and gp96, which suggests an independent role of hsp60 as danger Ag and in immunoregulation. 相似文献

Viral infection of host cells primarily depends on binding of the virus to a specific cell surface protein. In order to characterize the binding protein for group B coxsackieviruses (CVB), detergent-solubilized membrane proteins of different cell lines were tested in virus overlay protein-binding assays. A prominent virus-binding protein with a molecular mass of 100 kDa was detected in various CVB-permissive human and monkey cell lines but was not detected in nonpermissive cell lines. The specificity of CVB binding to the 100-kDa protein on permissive human cells was substantiated by binding of all six serotypes of CVB and by competition experiments. In contrast, poliovirus and Sendai virus did not bind to the 100-kDa CVB-specific protein. A fraction of HeLa membrane proteins enriched in the range of 100 kDa showed functional activity by transforming infectious CVB (160S) into A-particles (135S). In order to purify this CVB-binding protein, solubilized membrane proteins from HeLa cells were separated by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by elution of the 100-kDa protein. Amino acid sequence analysis of tryptic fragments of the CVB-binding protein indicated that this 100-kDa CVB-specific protein is a cell surface protein related to nucleolin. These results were confirmed by immunoprecipitations of the CVB-binding protein with nucleolin-specific antibodies, suggesting that a nucleolin-related membrane protein acts as a specific binding protein for the six serotypes of CVB. 相似文献

Alphaviruses replicate in a wide variety of cells in vitro. The prototype alphavirus, Sindbis virus, causes an age-dependent encephalitis in mice and serves as an important model system for the study of alphavirus neurovirulence. To begin to understand the role of cellular virus receptors in the pathogenesis of Sindbis virus infection, we developed an anti-idiotypic antibody made in rabbits against a neutralizing monoclonal antibody specific for the E2 surface glycoprotein. The anti-idiotypic antibody (anti-Id 209) bound to N18 mouse neuroblastoma cells and inhibited adsorption of 35S-labeled virus by 50%. Binding of anti-Id 209 was inhibited by pretreatment of N18 cells with various proteases but not with neuraminidase or phospholipase, while virus binding was inhibited by pretreatment with phospholipase as well as protease. Anti-Id 209 precipitated proteins of 110 and 74 kDa from N18 cells intrinsically labeled with [35S]methionine. N18 cells grow with two phenotypes in culture, and immunoprecipitation of 125I-surface-labeled cells showed that the 74-kDa protein was present on loosely adherent cells growing in aggregates, while the 110-kDa protein was present in smaller amounts on firmly adherent cells growing as a monolayer. Analysis of brain cells from newborn mice by flow cytometry showed that all cells expressed the receptor protein at birth, but by 4 days after birth half of the cells had ceased receptor expression. A survey of other cell lines showed the protein to be present on murine fibroblastic and other rodent neuroblastoma cell lines but rarely on human neural or nonneural cell lines. These studies suggest that one of the receptors for Sindbis virus on mouse neural cells is a protein that is regulated during development of the nervous system. Developmental down-regulation of receptor protein expression may contribute to the age-dependent nature of susceptibility of mice to fatal alphavirus encephalitis. 相似文献
