The fate of the transferrin receptor during in vitro maturation of sheep reticulocytes has been followed using FITC- and 125l-labeled anti-transferrin-receptor antibodies. Vesicles containing peptides that comigrate with the transferrin receptor on polyacrylamide gels are released during incubation of sheep reticulocytes, tagged with anti-transferrin-receptor anti-bodies. Vesicle formation does not require the presence of the anti-transferrin-receptor antibodies. Using 125l-surface-labeled reticulocytes, it can be shown that the 125l-labeled material which is released is retained by an immunoaffinity column of the anti-transferrin-receptor antibody. Using reticulocytes tagged with 125l-labeled anti-transferrin-receptor antibodies to follow the formation of vesicles, it can be shown that at 0°C or in phosphate-buffered saline the rate of vesicle release is less than that at 37°C in culture medium. There is selective externalization of the antibody-receptor complex since few other membrane proteins are found in the externalized vesicles. The anti-transferrin-receptor antibodies cause redistribution of the receptor into patches that do not appear to be required for vesicle formation.  相似文献

The transferrin receptor (TfR) of reticulocytes is released in vesicular form (exosomes) during their maturation to erythrocytes. The heat shock cognate 70-kDa protein (Hsc70) has been demonstrated to interact with the cytosolic domain of the TfR and could thus trigger the receptor toward this secretion pathway. We investigated the characteristics of the interaction between Hsc70 and the TfR in exosomes with an in vitro binding assay using TfR immobilized on Sepharose beads and purified Hsc70. The results show that Hsc70 binds to exosomal TfR with characteristics expected of a chaperone/peptide interaction. We demonstrated that heat-denatured luciferase competed for in vitro binding, dependent on the nucleotide bound to Hsc70, and that this interaction activates the ATPase activity of Hsc70. Moreover, we used immunosuppressive agents that interact with Hsc70, thus decreasing Hsc70 binding to TfR in our in vitro binding assay and enabling us to assess the role of this interaction in vivo during reticulocyte maturation.  相似文献

Hemin, but not iron, in the culture medium stimulates the maturation-associated loss of the transferrin receptor from sheep reticulocytes (t1/2 for loss approximately 6 hr) and its appearance in a population of externalized vesicles. A similar pattern is seen with nucleoside binding (a measure of the nucleoside transporter), where hemin increases the loss of binding activity from the cells during culture, concomitant with an increase in nucleoside binding in the externalized vesicles. Sheep reticulocytes retain the ability to synthesize the transferrin receptor, but the 35S-labeled receptors are not detected in released vesicles. Whereas hemin stimulates the loss of 35S-labeled transferrin receptors from the cell (t1/2 for loss approximately 20 hr), nonheme iron is more effective than heme. This difference in response of native and 35S-labeled receptor to hemin and iron supplements appears to be related to the differences in the two classes of receptors. Although the 35S-labeled receptor binds transferrin and both native and 35S-labeled peptides comigrate after chemical deglycosylation, the 35S-receptor is approximately 2 kD smaller than the native receptor and fails to acquire its complete size even when chased for up to 24 hr. Moreover, the 35S-labeled receptor is not expressed at the cell surface, but is retained in a nonrecycling compartment, where it is insensitive to digestion by trypsin at both 0 degrees C and 37 degrees C.  相似文献

The effect of the known inhibitors of iron uptake, n-butylamine and NH4Cl, was examined at the molecular level to more precisely define the mechanisms by which these lysosomotropic agents block iron uptake by rabbit reticulocytes. Utilizing a rapid pulse-chase technique to follow the handling of a cohort of 59Fe, 125I-transferrin bound to rabbit reticulocytes, both amines were observed to have no effect on the cell-mediated release of 59Fe from internalized transferrin. The results indicated, however, that both agents acted to 1) retard the internalization of transferrin bound to transferrin receptors on the plasma membrane of reticulocytes, 2) retard the externalization of internalized transferrin, and 3) block the transport into the cytosol of iron released from transferrin.  相似文献

A soluble form of transferrin receptor has been detected in human serum and has been shown recently to be a truncated form of the intact membrane bound receptor. Mechanisms governing the release of transferrin receptor by cells are poorly understood and could be better defined by tissue culture. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize the transferrin receptor released by K562 erythroleukemic cells. In contrast with maturing sheep reticulocytes, which have been shown to release transferrin receptor in small vesicles termed exosomes, we demonstrated, with a monoclonal enzyme-linked immunoassay, that less than 30% of the transferrin receptor released by K562 cells in log phase growth was in a particulate form. The relative amounts of soluble and particulate receptor released to the supernatant did not change significantly during 48 hr of incubation. Soluble receptor was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, its mobility was the same (85 kDa) as that of the truncated monomeric form recently identified in human serum. Further evidence that serum and soluble receptors released by K562 cells are identical was provided by amino acid sequence analysis, which demonstrated that 16 of the first 19 residues of the N-terminal sequence of soluble K562 receptor are homologous with the serum receptor. The remaining three were not identifiable. K562 cells provide a useful in vitro model for studying the production of membrane-bound and soluble forms of released transferrin receptor.  相似文献

Externalization of transferrin receptor in established human cell lines   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The externalization of transferrin receptors was found in established human tumor cell lines at the rate of 10-35 ng/hour/10(6) cells, when they were incubated with transferrin at 37 degrees C. This externalization is inhibited by lowering the incubation temperature to 4 degrees C or eliminating the ligand from the culture medium. Metabolic inhibitors such as sodium azide, colchicine, cytochalasin B and chloroquine also decreased the rate of externalization. Almost 95% of released transferrin receptors were precipitated by centrifugation at 100,000 x g for 30 min, suggesting that transferrin receptor is externalized into the medium as a vesicular form.  相似文献

The mechanism of transferrin uptake by reticulocytes was investigated using rabbit transferrin labelled with 125I and 59Fe and rabbit reticulocytes which had been treated with trypsin, Pronase or neuraminidase. Low concentrations of the proteolytic enzymes produced a small increase in transferrin and iron uptake by the cells. However, higher concentrations or incubation of the cells with the enzymes for longer periods caused a marked fall in transferrin and iron uptake. This fall was associated with a reduction in the proportion of cellular transferrin which was bound to a cell membrane component solubilized with the non-ionic detergent, Teric 12A9. The effect of trypsin and Pronase on transferrin release from the cells was investigated in the absence and in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide which inhibits the normal process of transferrin release. It was found that only a small proportion of transferrin which had been taken up by reticulocytes at 37 degrees C but nearly all that taken up 4 degrees C was released when the cells were subsequently incubated with trypsin plus N-ethylmaleimide, despite the fact that about 80% of the 59Fe in the cells was released in both instances. Neuraminidase produced no change in transferrin and iron uptake by the cells. These experiments provide evidence that transferrin uptake by reticulocytes requires interaction with a receptor which is protein in nature and that following uptake at 37 degrees C, most of the transferrin is located at a site unavailable to the action of proteolytic enzymes. The results support the hypothesis that transferrin enters reticulocytes by endocytosis.  相似文献

In a previous report, we have presented several lines of evidence, derived from widely different methodologies, suggesting that Leishmania has specific receptors for transferrin with a Kd similar to the mammalian transferrin receptor. This paper describes the identification, purification, and biochemical characterization of Leishmania transferrin receptor. The Leishmania transferrin receptor, detected on intact parasites by immunoperoxidase staining, was first identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Western blot analysis, using 125I-transferrin, as a 70-kDa protein. It has been isolated initially from Leishmania infantum promastigotes using affinity chromatography on a transferrin-Sepharose column and, subsequently, from Leishmania major promastigotes. The use of polyclonal antisera to the purified 70-kDa Leishmania transferrin receptor and to the purified rat transferrin receptor showed that the two receptors are antigenically distinct. The 70-kDa Leishmania transferrin receptor was subsequently characterized as an integral membrane glycoprotein. The monomeric state of the Leishmania transferrin receptor was demonstrated by gel filtration of purified receptor complexed with 125I-transferrin. Thus, the Leishmania transferrin receptor, unlike the mammalian receptor, is not a disulfide-linked dimer but a single 70-kDa polypeptide.  相似文献

Kinetic analysis of transferrin receptor properties in 6-8 day rat reticulocytes showed the existence of a single class of high-affinity receptors (Kd 3-10 nM), of which 20-25% were located at the cell surface and the remainder within an intracellular pool. Total transferrin receptor cycling time was 3.9 min. These studies examined the effects of various inhibitors on receptor-mediated transferrin iron delivery in order to define critical steps and events necessary to maintain the functional integrity of the pathway. Dansylcadaverine inhibited iron uptake by blocking exocytic release of transferrin and return of receptors to the cell surface, but did not affect transferrin endocytosis; this action served to deplete the surface pool of transferrin receptors, leading to shutdown of iron uptake. Calmidazolium and other putative calmodulin antagonists exerted an identical action on iron uptake and receptor recycling. The inhibitory effects of these agents on receptor recycling were overcome by the timely addition of Ca2+/ionomycin. From correlative analyses of the effects of these and other inhibitors, it was concluded that: (1) dansylcadaverine and calmodulin antagonists inhibit iron uptake by suppression of receptor recycling and exocytic transferrin release, (2) protein kinase C, transglutaminase, protein synthesis and release of transferrin-bound iron are not necessary for the functional integrity of the iron delivery pathway, (3) exocytic transferrin release and concomitant receptor recycling in rat reticulocytes is dependent upon Ca2+/calmodulin, (4) dansylcadaverine, dimethyldansylcadaverine and calmidazolium act on iron uptake by interfering with calmodulin function, and (5) the endocytotic and exocytotic arms of the iron delivery pathway are under separate regulatory control.  相似文献

Transferrin and iron uptake by rat reticulocytes   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The uptake of transferrin labeled with 3H and 59Fe by rat reticulocytes was studied to clarify the characteristics of the uptake process and intracellular transport. Rat reticulocytes took up transferrin in a saturable, time- and temperature-dependent manner. Scatchard analysis of the binding parameters indicated that transferrin molecules were bound to cell-surface receptors with high affinity. Monodansyl- cadaverine, a potent inhibitor of transglutaminase, reduced the amount of internalized transferrin but has no effect on the total amount of cell-associated transferrin, suggesting that transferrin is taken up by rat reticulocytes via receptor-mediated endocytosis. About 50% of the internalized 3H label was released from the cells after reincubation for 1 h in fresh medium. In contrast, no release of 59Fe label was observed. By immunoprecipitation and subsequent SDS-PAGE the released 3H-labeled product was identified as apotransferrin. Lysosomotropic reagents and a proton ionophore reduced the uptake of 59Fe. These results indicated that iron was removed from transferrin at an intracellular site in an acidic environment. The released iron was found not to associate with any intermediate ligands before it was utilized for heme synthesis in mitochondria.  相似文献

The ability of sheep reticulocytes and plasma membranes isolated from them to incorporate fatty acids into the transferrin receptor has been examined using both [3H]palmitate and [3H]myristate. Both fatty acids, when incorporated into the transferrin receptor, can be released by treating the protein with 1 M hydroxylamine at pH 7.0. After treatment of the 3H-acylated receptor with borohydride, an 3H-labeled alcohol is released, suggesting that the receptor-bound fatty acid is in thioester linkage. With both [3H]myristate and [3H]palmitate, Cleveland maps from immunoprecipitates of the transferrin receptor labeled in intact cells and isolated membranes show that identical peptides are labeled. No evidence was obtained for qualitatively different labeling with the two fatty acids. In intact reticulocytes, incorporation of [3H]palmitate into the transferrin receptor is approximately 3.5 times greater than the incorporation of [3H]myristate from equivalent concentrations of the labeled fatty acids. However, in isolated reticulocyte plasma membranes, there is much less difference between palmitate and myristate incorporation (with ATP) or between their acyl-CoA derivatives. The reason for the discrepancy between cells and membranes is unknown but may be due to the presence in intact cells of more than one enzyme for activating the fatty acids. Acylation of the receptor in isolated plasma membranes is fourfold greater with the CoA derivatives than with the free fatty acids. The fatty acid activating enzyme(s) as well as the acyltransferase(s) appear to be membrane bound in reticulocytes.  相似文献

We treated intact cells with trypsin to remove most of the external domain of the transferrin receptor and investigated what effect the absence of the external domain had on the turnover of the fragment that remained associated with the cells. To detect the cell-associated tryptic fragment, which contains a small amount of the external domain, the transmembrane domain, and the cytoplasmic domain, we prepared an anti-peptide antibody against a segment of the cytoplasmic domain. This antibody specifically immunoprecipitated the intact transferrin receptor as well as a 21-kDa peptide from trypsin-treated HeLa cells. Several lines of evidence indicated that the 21-kDa peptide was the cell-associated tryptic fragment of the transferrin receptor. The fragment was only present in trypsin-treated cells; the fragment migrated as a dimer in nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as it should if it were derived from the transferrin receptor; a goat antibody prepared to the purified human transferrin receptor also precipitated the 21-kDa peptide from trypsinized cells. In addition, treating the tryptic fragment with neuraminidase increased the electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, suggesting the fragment contained O-linked carbohydrate. When cells were trypsinized and then incubated at 37 degrees C, the half-life of the tryptic fragment (15 +/- 4 h) was not significantly different than the half-life of the intact receptor (19 +/- 6 h). This indicates that removing 95% of the external domain of the transferrin receptor has little effect on processes operating in the turnover of the receptor.  相似文献

The N-terminal amino-acid sequence of human ITI has been found to be identical with that of the acid-stable human 30-kDa inhibitors (HI-30) from urine, serum, and those released from inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor by trypsin or chymotrypsin. Serum HI-30 and HI-30 released by trypsin differ from the urinary inhibitor by an additional C-terminal arginine residue. Compared to these two inhibitors the inhibitor released by chymotryptic proteolysis is elongated C-terminally by an additional phenylalanine residue. These results strongly favour HI-30 as the N-terminus of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor and its release from this inhibitor in vivo by cleavage of the Arg123-Phe124 peptide bond by trypsin-like proteinases.  相似文献

We have investigated the phosphorylation of transferrin receptors both in intact sheep reticulocytes and in isolated plasma membranes. Phosphorylation of the receptor in intact cells or isolated plasma membranes is stimulated by phorbol diesters, suggesting that protein kinase C may be involved. Identical [32P] phosphopeptide tryptic maps are formed in the presence and absence of phorbol diesters. Using heat-treated membranes (which are devoid of endogenous kinase activity) exogenous protein kinase C phosphorylates the same peptides as the endogenous kinase(s). During maturation of reticulocytes to erythrocytes, the transferrin receptor is released to the medium in vesicular form. In cells labelled with [32P]Pi, the released receptor is not labelled with 32P and the exocytosed vesicles do not phosphorylate receptor with [gamma-32P]ATP. The absence of 32P in the released receptor appears to be due to a change in the receptor, since, even in the presence of exogenous protein kinase C, the exocytosed receptor is phosphorylated to approximately 8% of the level obtained with receptors from the plasma membrane. These data suggest that during maturation and externalization the receptor is altered so that it loses its capacity to act as a substrate for exogenous protein kinase C as well as the endogenous kinase(s). This change may be a signal which segregates the receptor for externalization from the receptor pool remaining for transferrin recycling during the final stages of red cell maturation.  相似文献

The mechanism by which bipyridine and phenanthroline types of iron chelator inhibit iron uptake from transferrin and iron efflux mediated by pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone was investigated using rabbit reticulocytes with the aim of providing more information on the normal process of iron uptake by developing erythroid cells. It was shown that the chelators block cellular uptake by chelating the iron immediately after release from transferrin while it is still in the membrane fraction of the cells. The iron-chelator is then released from the cells by a process which is very similar to that of transferrin release with respect to kinetics and sensitivity to incubation temperature and the effects of metabolic inhibitors and other chemical reagents. These results are compatible with the conclusion that both transferrin and the iron-chelators in the cells are mainly present in endocytotic vesicles and are released from the cells by exocytosis. The chelators were also shown to block the pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone-mediated efflux of iron from cells which had taken up iron in the presence of isoniazid, an inhibitor of haem synthesis, by chelating the iron in the cytosol and the mitochondria. In this case, the iron-chelator complexes were not released from the cells. Measurement of the diethyl ether/water partition coefficients of bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline and their iron complexes gave much higher values for the free chelators, supporting the concept that the chelators trap the iron intracellularly because of differences in the lipid solubility and, hence, membrane permeability to the free chelators and their iron complexes.  相似文献

The effect of three groups of metabolic inhibitors on the incorporation of Fe and release of bicarbonate from transferrin by rabbit reticulocytes was measured. Inhibitors which affect reticulocyte Fe and transferrin uptake to the same extent (sodium arsenite, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide); those which inhibit reticulocyte Fe uptake to a greater extent than transferrin uptake (NaN3, NaF, NaCN, rotenone, oligomycin, 2,4-dinitrophenol and cycloheximide); and compounds which after reticulocyte heme synthesis (CoCl2, isonicotinic acid hydrazide and hemin) were used. In each case the effect on Fe incorporation and bicarbonate release was the sameThus, additional evidence has been obtained for the idea that the reticulocyte-mediated release of Fe and bicarbonate from transferrin are tightly coupled. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that an enzymatic attack on transferrin-bound bicarbonate is involved in the removal of Fe from transferrin by erythroid cells.  相似文献

In vitro acylation of the transferrin receptor   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
In vitro fatty acylation of the transferrin receptor with [3H]tetradecanoate or [3H]tetradecanoyl-CoA has been demonstrated for isolated sheep reticulocyte plasma membranes. Although less than 5% of the receptor was labeled in vitro, the acylated protein could be readily observed after sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The acylated transferrin receptor in the reticulocyte membrane was specifically precipitated with a monoclonal antibody and was absent from mature red cell membranes. Incorporation of fatty acid was dependent on ATP, and fatty acid was 5-10 times less effective as an acyl donor than the acyl-CoA derivative, pointing out the strong potential of this reagent for in vitro acylation of membrane proteins. During in vitro maturation of reticulocytes, the receptor is released in vesicles into the incubation medium. Using reticulocytes labeled with [3H]tetradecanoate, it can be shown that the 3H-labeled receptor is transferred from the cells to the vesicles without loss of acyl groups, suggesting that the vesiculation process does not involve deacylation.  相似文献

1. A further characterization and localization of the membrane receptor for transferrin on rat reticulocytes is described. PAGE studies with a purified membrane complex B2, from which the functional role in transferrin binding and iron uptake has been shown previously, showed that the transferrin receptor is localized on a membrane protein with a mol. wt of approximately 70-80.10(3). 2. Selective solubilization of the rat reticulocyte membrane has shown that this receptor protein belongs to one of the minor integral membrane polypeptides, embedded in the lipid bilayer of the membrane. 3. Proteolipid complexes, glycolipids and sialoglycoproteins of the rat reticulocyte membrane play no direct role in the binding capacity of the receptor.  相似文献

The endocytosis of diferric transferrin and accumulation of its iron by freshly isolated rabbit reticulocytes was studied using 59Fe-125I-transferrin. Internalized transferrin was distinguished from surface-bound transferrin by its resistance to release during treatment with Pronase at 4 degrees C. Endocytosis of diferric transferrin occurs at the same rate as exocytosis of apotransferrin, the rate constants being 0.08 min-1 at 22 degrees C, 0.19 min-1 at 30 degrees C, and 0.45 min-1 at 37 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, the maximum rate of transferrin endocytosis by reticulocytes is approximately 500 molecules/cell/s. The recycling time for transferrin bound to its receptor is about 3 min at this temperature. Neither transferrin nor its receptor is degraded during the intracellular passage. When a steady state has been reached between endocytosis and exocytosis of the ligand, about 90% of the total cell-bound transferrin is internal. Endocytosis of transferrin was found to be negligible below 10 degrees C. From 10 to 39 degrees C, the effect of temperature on the rate of endocytosis is biphasic, the rate increasing sharply above 26 degrees C. Over the temperature range 12-26 degrees C, the apparent activation energy for transferrin endocytosis is 33.0 +/- 2.7 kcal/mol, whereas from 26-39 degrees C the activation energy is considerably lower, at 12.3 +/- 1.6 kcal/mol. Reticulocytes accumulate iron atoms from diferric transferrin at twice the rate at which transferrin molecules are internalized, implying that iron enters the cell while still bound to transferrin. The activation energies for iron accumulation from transferrin are similar to those of endocytosis of transferrin. This study provides further evidence that transferrin-iron enters the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis and that iron release occurs within the cell.  相似文献
