N—糖链在纤连蛋白分泌及纤连蛋白受体与配体结合的作用

应用能断糖蛋白Ｎ－糖链合成的衣霉素（ＴＭ）,研究了Ｎ－糖链缺失对ＨＴ１０８０细胞分泌纤连蛋白（Ｆｎ）以及纤连蛋白受体（ＦｎＲ）与配体结合的影响。结果表现,１μｇ／ｍｌ的ＴＭ可抑制Ｎ－糖链的合成（此时,３Ｈ－甘露糖掺入下降６３％）,但细胞分泌Ｆｎ的量仅下降３％,这主要是由于蛋白合成受ＴＭ抑制（２５％）而引起。因而,Ｎ－糖链缺失可能并不影响Ｆｎ的分泌,而在同样条件下,单个细胞结合１２５Ｉ－Ｆｎ的量显著

人血浆纤连蛋白（Ｆｉｂｒｏｎｅｃｔｉｎ,Ｆｎ）与人胎盘纤连蛋白两者在肽链结构上基本相同,但人血浆Ｆｎ的Ｎ－糖链结构为二天线结构,而人胎盘Ｆｎ不仅Ｎ－糖链的数量增加,同时还含有多天线结构,分别用~（１２５）Ｉ标记这两种具有不同糖链结构的Ｆｎ,观察两者与ＨＴ１０８０细胞的饱和结合的亲和性,结果发现,在４℃,人血浆Ｆｎ与ＨＴ１０８０细胞的饱和结合为１２９ｎｇ／１０~５细胞,解离常数为２．８３×１０~（－８）ｍｏｌ／Ｌ,人胎盘Ｆｎ与ＨＴ１０８０细胞的饱和结合为１３３ｎｇ／１０~６细胞,解离常数为２．６４×１０~（－８）ｍｏｌ／Ｌ．因而,人血浆Ｆｎ与人胎盘Ｆｎ上Ｎ－糖链的不同并未影响其与受体的结合．

Glycosylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor in A-431 cells. The contribution of carbohydrate to receptor function

A-431 cells were treated with inhibitors of either N-linked glycosylation (tunicamycin or glucosamine) or of N-linked oligosaccharide processing (swainsonine or monensin) to examine the glycosylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and to determine the effect of glycosylation modification on receptor function. The receptor was found to be an Mr = 130,000 polypeptide to which a relatively large amount of carbohydrate is added co-translationally in the form of N-linked oligosaccharides. Processing of these oligosaccharides accounts for the 10,000-dalton difference in electrophoretic migration between the Mr = 160,000 precursor and Mr = 170,000 mature forms of the receptor. No evidence was found for O-linked oligosaccharides on the receptor. Mr = 160,000 receptors resulting from swainsonine or monensin treatment were present on the cell surface and retained full function, as judged by 125I-EGF binding to intact cells and detergent-solubilized extracts and by in vitro phosphorylation in the absence or presence of EGF. On the other hand, when cells were treated with tunicamycin or glucosamine, ligand binding was reduced by more than 50% in either intact cells or solubilized cell extracts. The Mr = 130,000 receptors synthesized in the presence of these inhibitors were not found on the cell surface. In addition, no Mr = 130,000 phosphoprotein was detected in the in vitro phosphorylation of tunicamycin or glucosamine-treated cells. It appears, therefore, that although terminal processing of N-linked oligosaccharides is not necessary for proper translocation or function of the EGF receptor, the addition of N-linked oligosaccharides is required.     

Differential regulation of multiple neuroreceptors in a somatic cell hybrid by inhibitors of glycoprotein processing

Specific binding of [3H][D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin, [3H]ethylketocyclazocine, 5-[3H]hydroxytryptamine, and [3H]spiperone was examined in neuroblastoma-brain hybrid cell line NCB-20 following exposure to inhibitors of N-linked protein glycosylation (tunicamycin, TM) and oligosaccharide processing (swainsonine, SW). TM treatment reduced ligand binding at delta- and sigma-opiate receptors and neuroleptic binding sites (20 to 50% of control), with no discernible effect on the binding properties of 5HT1-serotonin receptors. In contrast, exposure to SW resulted in a three-fold increase in binding capacity of sigma-receptors, while decreasing receptor affinity for ligand. SW treatment did not alter ligand interactions with either sigma-receptors or neuroleptic binding sites, but did reduce specific binding of serotonin to 5HT1-receptors. The effects of TM and SW on distinct receptor subpopulations were further demonstrated by attenuation of opiate and serotonin-mediated regulation of intracellular cyclic AMP.     

Internalization of the fibronectin receptor is a constitutive process

Using a monoclonal antibody specific for the hamster fibronectin receptor (FnR), we have demonstrated that a portion of the CHO cell FnR population is constitutively endocytosed. Three independent techniques were used to study the internalization: 1) after saturation binding of an anti-FnR antibody (PB1) to cells at 4 degrees C, internalization was initiated by warming to 37 degrees C, and then acid/salt elution of membrane-bound ligand was used to quantitate the internalized 125I-PB1; 2) cell vesicular traffic was pharmacologically disrupted with monensin or chloroquine, and the subsequent reduction of the cell surface pool of FnR was monitored; and 3) selective immunoprecipitation was used to separate surface and internalized 125I-labeled FnR. These experiments indicate that about 30% of the cell surface FnR is endocytosed with a t1/2 of 7 min and that this internalization occurs regardless of the ligation state of the receptor. Other observations indicate that the larger fraction of the cell surface FnR pool (70-75%) is apparently shed from the cell upon ligation with antibody at 37 degrees C. This process occurs much more slowly than receptor internalization and leads to an overall reduction in the amount of cell surface FnR. Our results suggest physically or chemically distinct populations of FnR, one of which is unavailable for internalization and recycling.     

Studies of binding of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) to fibroblast growth factor inducible 14 (Fn14)

To perform highly sensitive cellular binding studies with TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), we developed a bioluminescent variant of soluble TWEAK (GpL-FLAG-TNC-TWEAK) by fusing it genetically to the C terminus of the luciferase of Gaussia princeps (GpL). Equilibrium binding studies on human (HT1080 and HT29) and murine (Renca and B16) cell lines at 37 °C revealed high affinities of human TWEAK from 53 to 112 pm. The dissociation rate constant of the TWEAK-Fn14 interaction was between 0.48×10(-3) s(-1) (HT29) and 0.58×10(-3) s(-1) (HT1080) for the human molecules, and the association rate constant obtained was 3.3×10(6) m(-1) s(-1) for both cell lines. It has been shown previously that oligomerization of soluble TWEAK trimers results in enhanced Fn14-mediated activation of the classical NFκB pathway. Binding studies with GpL-FLAG-TNC-TWEAK trimers oligomerized by help of a FLAG tag-specific antibody gave no evidence for a major increase in Fn14 occupancy by oligomerized ligand despite strongly enhanced induction of the NFκB target IL8. Thus, aggregated complexes of soluble TWEAK and Fn14 have a higher intrinsic activity to stimulate the classical NFκB pathway and qualitatively differ from isolated trimeric TWEAK-Fn14 complexes. Furthermore, determination of IL8 induction as a function of occupied activated receptors revealed that the intrinsic capability of TNFR1 to stimulate the classical NFκB pathway and IL8 production was ～100-fold higher than Fn14. Thus, although ～25 activated TNFR1 trimers were sufficient to trigger half-maximal IL8 production, more than 2500 cell-bound oligomerized TWEAK trimers were required to elicit a similar response.     

Biochemical roles of the oligosaccharide chains in thyrostimulin, a heterodimeric hormone of glycoprotein hormone subunits alpha 2 (GPA2) and beta 5 (GPB5)

Thyrostimulin is a heterodimeric hormone composed of GPA2 and GPB5, and shares the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). Thyrostimulin has three N-linked oligosaccharide chains, two in GPA2 and one in GPB5. The roles of these N-linked oligosaccharides in secretion, heterodimer formation and signal transduction were analyzed. Recombinant GPA2s lacking either of the two oligosaccharides were obtained from conditioned medium, whereas dual site-disrupted GPA2 and the GPB5 mutant were not expressed in either the conditioned medium or cell lysate. The binding between GPA2 and GPB5 was weaker than that between TSH subunits GPA1 and TSH beta. Neither of the oligosaccharides in GPA2 had significant effects on heterodimerization. Disruption of either of the oligosaccharides in GPA2 significantly decreased receptor activation, suggesting their critical role in receptor activation.     

The murine lymphocyte receptor for IgE. V. Biosynthesis, transport, and maturation of the B cell Fc epsilon receptor

The post-translational processing and maturation of the receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R) on murine hybridoma B cells were studied to determine the carbohydrate content and the importance of processing events in cell surface expression and ligand (IgE) binding ability. Endo and exoglycosidase treatment demonstrated that the mature receptor is composed of two to three complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides and contains sialic acid. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that the receptor is synthesized as a 44,000 dalton precursor that begins to be processed by 1 hr to the mature 49,000 dalton form, and the latter is expressed at the cell surface by 2 hr. It was determined that the processing included the conversion of N-linked oligosaccharides to the complex type as well as an additional processing event, because in the presence of tunicamycin, the receptor is synthesized as a 36,000 dalton precursor that is processed to a 38,000 dalton species. Analysis of the effects of tunicamycin treatment and endo F digestion on soluble Fc epsilon R isolated from cell supernatants demonstrated the existence of several m.w. species of Fc epsilon R fragments, and indicated that only the higher m.w. fragments were N-glycosylated. The use of several inhibitors of the N-linked carbohydrate processing pathway demonstrated that the addition of core N-linked side-chains, but not their processing to the complex type, is required for cell surface expression of Fc epsilon R. Also, processing of N-linked carbohydrate is not required for ligand binding activity. Finally, IgE affinity chromatography indicated that the 49,000 and 38,000 dalton (tunicamycin) Fc epsilon R bind IgE more effectively than their precursor forms, 44,000 and 36,000 daltons, respectively, indicating that a processing event independent of N-linked glycosylation is necessary for optimal ligand binding activity.
