Clathrin was isolated from detergent-solubilized, biosynthetically radiolabeled cells by immunoprecipitation with anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies. Immunoprecipitates obtained after pulse-chase labeling demonstrated that after biosynthesis the LCa light chain of clathrin could be found either complexed to heavy chain or in a free pool (not associated with heavy chain) which decreased steadily over time. More than half of the free LCa disappeared within the first hour after biosynthesis, but some was still detectable after several hours. Incorporation of clathrin LCa light chain and heavy chain into coated vesicles was coordinate and increased up to 4 h after biosynthesis. Comparison of these kinetics suggested that once incorporated into coated vesicles, LCa and heavy chain did not dissociate, even during depolymerization of the vesicle. There was also little apparent degradation of clathrin found in coated vesicles for up to 22 h after biosynthesis. Immunoprecipitation with anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies was carried out after fractionation of continuously radiolabeled cell lysates using two different sizing columns. These experiments indicated that the triskelion form of clathrin that has been isolated from coated vesicles in vitro also exists in vivo. They also confirmed the existence of a transient but detectable pool of newly synthesized free LCa light chain. 相似文献

Structure of human clathrin light chains. Conservation of light chain polymorphism in three mammalian species 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Complementary DNAs (cDNA) encoding the brain and non-brain forms of the human clathrin light chains LCa and LCb have been isolated, sequenced, and compared with their homologues in cow and rat. The significant differences that distinguish LCa from LCb and the brain from non-brain forms show remarkable preservation in all three species. These features include the position and sequence of the brain-specific inserts, a totally conserved region of 22 residues near the amino terminus, the LCb-specific phosphorylation site, the heavy chain binding site, and a distinctive pattern of cysteine residues near the carboxyl terminus. Unorthodox sequences for translation initiation and polyadenylation are found for LCb contrasting with LCa which exhibits orthodox regulatory sequences. Small insertions in human LCa revealed a duplicated sequence of 13 residues that flank the 22-residue conserved region. Only the carboxyl-terminal copy of this sequence is present in LCb. All sequences are consistent with the heavy chain binding site comprising an alpha-helical central region of the light chains. The hydrophobic face of this helix, which is presumed to interact with the heavy chain, is highly conserved between LCa and LCb, whereas the hydrophilic face shows considerable divergence. To help define the carboxyl-terminal limit of the heavy chain binding region, the epitope recognized by the CVC.6 monoclonal antibody was localized to residues 192-208 of LCa with glutamic acid 198 being of most importance. The faithful preservation of clathrin light chain polymorphism in three mammalian species provides evidence supporting a functional diversification of the brain and non-brain forms of LCa and LCb. 相似文献

Clathrin assembly in vitro produces a highly ordered polyhedral structure (basket). This resembles clathrin assembled in situ on coated pits and vesicles which form during receptor-mediated endocytosis. Sites on clathrin involved in assembly were identified by assembling clathrin in the presence of anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies. Three of the antibodies, as IgG, prevented the assembly of normal baskets, and their Fab fragments induced formation of two types of novel clathrin structures. Antibody effects on assembly and competitive binding data indicate these antibodies bind to two sites, critical for clathrin interactions, located in the same region of the clathrin heavy chain. Analysis of novel structures formed, suggested that nucleation but not further assembly was occurring, implying an ordered sequence of clathrin interactions during assembly. 相似文献

Many monoclonal antibodies that react with the lacto-N-fucopentaose III (LNF III) antigenic determinant, Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc, have been described recently. The terminal trisaccharide of this determinant, fucosyllactosamine, is present on glycolipids and glycoproteins and on the surface of granulocytes, monocytes, and other cells. To study the structural and genetic diversity of these antibodies, syngeneic anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibodies were produced in BALB/c mice against PMN 6, a monoclonal antibody directed against this sequence. Anti-idiotypic antibodies 6B1 and 6C4 reacted with 50% of a panel of 20 anti-LNF III monoclonal antibodies, whereas 6A3 reacted strongly only with PMN 6. This indicates that the determinants recognized by 6C4 and 6B1 represent major cross-reactive idiotopes of this family of antibodies. The binding of idiotypic antibodies to a glycolipid bearing this antigenic determinant was completely inhibited by the three anti-idiotypic antibodies, 6A3, 6B1, and 6C4. The idiotopes could be demonstrated on the heavy chain of the monoclonal antibodies by an antibody transfer technique when mild reducing conditions were employed, but a high concentration of reducing agent destroyed the idiotypic determinants. This suggests that the anti-idiotypic antibodies recognize conformational structures expressed on the heavy chain molecules. The binding of 18 monoclonal antibodies to two glycolipid antigens and to a fucosyllactosamine-bovine serum albumin conjugate was compared. Antibodies that possessed the 6C4 cross-reactive idiotope bound to fucosyllactosamine-bovine serum albumin more weakly than idiotype-negative antibodies (p = 0.001). This suggests that the 6C4-positive antibodies might represent germline structures. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies have been raised to pig brain triskelions and one clone, DC41, was found to recognize the clathrin heavy chain by immunoblotting. However, both by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy, and in complete contrast to polyclonal anti-clathrin antibodies, monoclonal DC41 did not label either coated pits or coated vesicles anywhere in the cell. Instead it appeared to label the cell cytoplasm. These data suggest that DC41 recognizes a cytoplasmic form of clathrin, perhaps that form produced by uncoating of coated vesicles which is then ready to re-build another coated pit. 相似文献

The unassembled (soluble) and assembled (particulate) pools of clathrin in murine lymphocytes have been separated by centrifugation, and specifically quantified by immunoblotting of cellular extracts with an anticlathrin heavy chain monoclonal antibody. In resting spleen lymphocytes only 25-30% of the total cellular clathrin was found to be present in an assembled form. Upon activation of lymphocytes with B or T cell mitogens (lipopolysaccharide or concanavalin A), the levels of assembled clathrin increased to 60% of the total. These changes in the levels of assembled clathrin were not due to an increase in total cellular clathrin concentration following lymphocyte activation, but rather to changes in the steady state ratio of assembled to unassembled clathrin. The increase in assembled clathrin preceded the expression of transferrin receptors, as measured by the cell surface binding of an antitransferrin receptor monoclonal antibody, and maximal DNA synthesis, indicating that clathrin assembly occurs early after lymphocyte activation and precedes cell division. Immunofluorescence analysis of activated lymphocytes with an anti-clathrin heavy chain monoclonal antibody revealed a punctuate staining pattern characteristic of coated pits and vesicles. Activated B lymphocytes displayed particularly prominent staining in the perinuclear region compared to T cells, suggesting that clathrin assembly may be important for B cell functions such as immunoglobulin synthesis or secretion. These results suggest that in lymphocytes, clathrin assembly is a dynamic process that is triggered by mitogenic stimuli. 相似文献

We used a library of 31 monoclonal and six polyclonal antibodies to compare the structures of the two classes of cytoplasmic myosin isozymes isolated from Acanthamoeba: myosin-I, a 150,000-mol-wt, globular molecule; and myosin-II, a 400,000-mol-wt molecule with two heads and a 90-nm tail. This analysis confirms that myosin-I and -II are unique gene products and provides the first evidence that these isozymes have at least one structurally homologous region functionally important for myosin's role in contractility. Characterization of the 23 myosin-II monoclonal antibody binding sites by antibody staining of one-dimensional peptide maps and solid phase, competitive binding assays demonstrate that they bind to at least 15 unique sites on the myosin-II heavy chain. The antibodies can be grouped into six families, whose members bind close to one another. None of the monoclonal antibodies bind to myosin-II light chains and polyclonal antibodies against myosin-II light or heavy chain bind only to myosin-II light or heavy chains, respectively: no antibody binds both heavy and light chains. Six of eight monoclonal antibodies and one of two polyclonal sera that react with the myosin-I heavy chain also bind to determinants on the myosin-II heavy chain. The cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies bind to the region of myosin-II recognized by the largest family of myosin-II monoclonal antibodies. In the two papers that immediately follow, we show that this family of monoclonal antibodies to myosin-II binds to the myosin-II tail near the junction with the heads and inhibits both the actin-activated ATPase of myosin-II and contraction of gelled cytoplasmic extracts of Acanthamoeba cytoplasm. Further, this structurally homologous region may play a key role in energy transduction by cytoplasmic myosins. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against rabbit or porcine zonae pellucidae (ZP) demonstrate species-specific and shared antigenic determinants. In addition, these antibodies are used to characterize the biochemical nature of these determinants. All of six monoclonal antibodies developed against porcine ZP react with porcine but not with rabbit ZP. Only one of seven monoclonal antibodies developed against rabbit ZP cross-reacts with porcine ZP. None of these antibodies recognized antigens associated with other tissues tested. High-resolution, two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) followed by immunoblotting was used to demonstrate that the cross-reactive antibody recognizes an antigenic determinant which is associated with the major low molecular weight glycoprotein of both the pig and rabbit ZP. Since this antibody recognizes all charge species of this glycoprotein, it is apparent that the antigenic determinant recognized by this antibody involves protein. Further studies demonstrate that proteolytic digestion of ZP will destroy the antigenic determinant while glycosidic digestion of ZP has no effect on antibody binding. Although polyclonal antibodies to this glycoprotein inhibit sperm from binding to the zona pellucida, this monoclonal antibody does not affect sperm binding. None of the species-specific antibodies recognize ZP glycoproteins following 2D-PAGE. This is a property typical of antibodies directed against conformational antigenic determinants. The presence of common as well as unique zona antigenic determinants could explain why ZP proteins induce heteroantibodies which result in infertility while alloimmunization has no effect on fertility. 相似文献

Nineteen independently isolated hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus were isolated and studied for their capacity to neutralize viral infectivity. By measuring competitive binding of 125I-labeled monoclonal antibodies in a radioimmunoassay. 11 different, non-cross-reacting antigenic determinants were identified on the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein. All monoclonal antibodies reacting with determinants 1, 2, 3, and 4 resulted in viral neutralization, whereas those binding to the other seven determinants did not neutralize infectivity. The mixture of two monoclonal antibodies binding to different determinants resulted in a more rapid neutralization than either antibody alone, suggesting that different antibodies can exert a synergistic effect on viral neutralization. Kinetic experiments revealed biphasic neutralization curves similar to those expected for heterologous antibody. No evidence could be obtained to relate biphasic kinetics of viral neutralization to heterogeneous populations either of antibody molecules or of virus. The possible significance of the kinetic data with monoclonal antibodies is discussed. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against the 90 000 mol. wt. form of the activated rat liver glucocorticoid receptor were generated from mice immunized with a partially purified receptor preparation. The screening assay was based on the precipitation of liver cytosol, labelled with [3H]triamcinolone acetonide, with monoclonal antibodies bound to immobilized rabbit anti-mouse IgG. Out of 102 hybridomas obtained, 76 produced immunoglobulin and eight of them were found to react with the receptor molecule. Only one of the positive clones secreted IgG whereas the other seven produced IgM. The complexes of receptor and antibodies were identified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. All seven monoclonal antibodies tested reacted with the 90 000 mol. wt. form of the receptor but not with the 40 000 mol. wt. form that contains the steroid and DNA binding domains. None of the monoclonal antibodies interfered with the binding of the receptor to DNA cellulose, thus suggesting that the antigenic determinants are located in a region of the receptor that is not directly implicated in either steroid binding or DNA binding. These antigenic determinants were common to glucocorticoid receptors from several tissues of the rat, whereas glucocorticoid receptors from other species react only with some of the antibodies. 相似文献

Three forms of clathrin light chain contain two cysteine residues. These are the predominant brain-specific forms of LCa and LCb and the non-brain form of LCb. After purification in the absence of thiols they contain intramolecular disulphide bonds. The reduced and the oxidized forms show differences in electrophoretic mobility, explaining the variable and heterogeneous patterns observed on electrophoresis. Accessibility of the thiol groups in the free light chains is greater than when they are associated with the heavy chain. In contrast the cysteine residues of the clathrin heavy chain are completely inaccessible in the absence of denaturants and are not found in disulphide bonds. The antigenic properties of the oxidized and the reduced forms of the clathrin light chains are similar, as is their capacity to bind to the clathrin heavy chain. After isolation in the presence of 10 mM-iodoacetamide, the light-chain cysteine residues are fully alkylated. The results are consistent with the reduced form being the native state and the light-chain disulphide bonds an artifact of isolation. 相似文献

The light chains (LCa and LCb) of bovine brain clathrin are resistant to heat denaturation by boiling, a property shared by tropomyosin (Bailey, K., 1948, Biochem. J., 43:271-281). Light chains were partially purified by boiling and centrifugation of a Tris-extract of crude membranes prepared from bovine brains (Keen, J. H., M. C. Willingham, and I. H. Pastan, 1979, Cell., 16:303-312). Contaminant polypeptides were then removed by size-exclusion high-pressure liquid chromatography. The purified light chains were separated from each other by using an immunoaffinity column prepared from a monoclonal antibody CVC.7 specific for LCa and not LCb. 相似文献

Structural transitions in bovine factor X associated with metal binding and zymogen activation. Studies using conformation-specific antibodies 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Conformation-specific antibodies against distinct regions of Factor X were employed to locate antigenic determinants which are altered during zymogen activation or by metal binding. Anti-Factor X antibodies, raised in rabbits against Factor X, were purified by affinity chromatography using Factor X covalently bound to Sepharose. Quantitative equilibrium and kinetic measurements of precipitation of Factor X and Factor Xa by antibodies indicated differences in the antigenic structure of the zymogen and the enzyme form of factor X. The factor X antibodies were further fractionated by sequential immunoabsorption using fragments of Factor X and Factor Xa. With conformation-specific antibodies directed against the heavy chain and the light chain of Factor X, zymogen activation was shown to involve a structural transition in the heavy chain but not the light chain. Antibodies directed against the activation peptide domain 1-51 of the heavy chain, the trypsin-like region of the heavy chain 52-290, and the substrate-binding site suggest a generalized conformational transition in the heavy chain. Antibodies were isolated which are specific for the Factor X:Ca(II) complex and bind to Factor X only in the presence of metal ions. Subfractions were directed against either the heavy chain or the light chain, indicating that both the heavy chain and the light chain of Factor X undergo a metal-induced conformational transition. Half-maximal antibody-factor X interaction was observed at 0.13 mM CaCl2 for the light chain and 0.7 mM CaCl2 for the heavy chain. These results indicate that zymogen activation is limited to structural changes in the heavy chain, but metal binding is associated with changes in the structure of both the heavy and light chains. Metal-dependent binding of Factor X to the platelet Factor Xa receptor after activation may involve surfaces of the heavy as well as the light chains. 相似文献

Clathrin light chains, LCa and LCb, are products of two closely related genes whose mRNAs undergo differential splicing to result in at least four different light chain isoforms. The physiological significance of clathrin light chain diversity remains unclear. To date, the only evidence for a functional distinction of LCa and LCb is the preferential phosphorylation of LCb, which takes place at serine residues and is mediated by coated vesicle-associated casein kinase II. As a first step toward determining the function of light chain diversity, we have mapped the in vitro phosphorylation sites on LCb. We use [32P]ATP to phosphorylate LCb within coated vesicles, followed by sequencing of 32P-labeled chymotryptic peptides thereof, to identify serine residues at positions 11 and 13 as the phosphorylation sites. We find that phosphorylation of LCb within coated vesicles can be inhibited by four monoclonal antibodies specific for different epitopes of the clathrin light chains. 相似文献

The neurotoxin associated with type A infant botulism in Japan shows different antigenic properties from those produced by authentic strains. The monoclonal antibodies recognizing the light chain reacted to both neurotoxins, whereas half the antibodies recognizing the heavy chain reacted specifically to the respective neurotoxin. Each neurotoxin showed its own manner of binding to brain synaptosomes. These results indicate that the distinguishable characteristics are ascribable to the heavy chain but not to the light chain. In both neurotoxins, an epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody that reacts to the light chain and neutralizes the toxin was found to be very close to the amino-terminal half (H-1 fragment) of the heavy chain. This may support the hypothesis that the H-1 fragment functions in the transport of the light chain in the target cell. 相似文献

Eleven hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal anti-digoxin antibody have been produced. They are primarily gamma heavy chain and kappa light chain molecules. Affinity constants for digoxin range from 2 X 10(6) to 3.5 X 10(8) liters/mole. Fine specificity analysis using a series of digoxin congeners demonstrates that an unsaturated lactone ring attached to the aglycone at the C-17 position is necessary for hapten recognition. The impact of other changes in digoxin's structure on antibody binding were also studied. DNA hybridization analysis demonstrates that there are at least three different variable region gene arrangements used to produce the heavy chains of the different hybridoma antibodies. Correlations between antigen binding characteristics and antibody V-gene arrangements are demonstrable. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies demonstrate multiple epitopes on the O antigens of Salmonella typhimurium LPS 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
To investigate the complexity of the antigenic determinants presented on the surface of Salmonella typhimurium, a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies was generated and characterized. Hybridomas specific for S. typhimurium (strain TML, O antigens 1, 4, 12) were produced by immunization with acetone-killed and dried bacteria and standard fusion procedures. In this report, 15 such monoclonal antibodies, all of which bind lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted from S. typhimurium, are described. The fine specificity of these antibodies was assessed by examining the differential binding of each antibody to a panel of Salmonella strains, which selectively express different O antigenic determinants. This analysis defined several distinct categories of monoclonal antibodies of varying isotypes. Four anti-O:4-specific antibodies were identified. Two were specific for O:1. One antibody appears to react with the core polysaccharide of S. typhimurium LPS. Several of the monoclonal antibodies recognized LPS determinants that are presumably created by a combination of O antigens. For instance, one bound only to Salmonella strains that expressed both O:1 and O:12, whereas another bound only to those strains which expressed both O:4 and O:12. A group of three antibodies bound to any strain that simultaneously expressed O:1, O:4, and O:12. A distinct group of three monoclonal antibodies also bound strains that expressed O:1, O:4, and O:12, but only when the O:5 antigenic determinant was not present. The latter are, in that respect, S. typhimurium strain TML LPS-specific. The results of this analysis suggest that the epitopes of the S. typhimurium LPS molecule that are recognized by the host are considerably more complex than has been previously indicated by classical serology. 相似文献

Comparison of Clostridium botulinum toxins type D and C1 in molecular property, antigenicity and binding ability to rat-brain synaptosomes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Botulinum type D neurotoxin was purified 950-fold from the culture supernatant with an overall yield of 32%. The purified toxin had a specific toxicity of 5.8 X 10(7) mouse minimal lethal dose per mg of protein and a relative molecular mass of 140000. The purified toxin had a di-chain structure consisting of heavy and light chains with relative molecular masses of 85000 and 55000, respectively, linked by one disulfide bond. These subunits had different amino acid compositions and antigenicities. A similarity in molecular constructions and amino acid compositions was observed between type D and type C1 toxins as well as between their subunits. Among the seven kinds of monoclonal antibodies against type D toxin, six reacted with the heavy chain of type D toxin, while one of the six also reacted with the heavy chain of type C1 toxin and neutralized the toxicities of the two toxins. The other one of monoclonal antibodies reacted with the light chains of both toxins. This evidence indicates that both toxins have common antigenic sites on their heavy and light chains and that the antigenic site on the heavy chain may contribute to the neutralization of both toxins by antibody. The binding of type D toxin to rat brain synaptosomes was examined by use of 125I-labelled type D toxin. The binding was competitively inhibited not only by unlabelled type D and C1 toxins, but also by the heavy chains of both toxins, however, it was not inhibited by the light chain of type D toxin. These results suggest that the toxin receptors on synaptosomal membrane are common for type D and C1 toxins, and that the heavy chain contributes to the binding of toxin to synaptosomes and the structure of the binding sites on the heavy chains of both toxins is quite similar. 相似文献

Monomorphic anti-HLA-A,B,C monoclonal antibodies detecting molecular subunits and combinatorial determinants 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Thirteen monoclonal antibodies that react with monomorphic determinants on the HLA-A,B,C-beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) molecule were characterized. Analysis of antibody activity included inhibition by papain-solubilized HLA antigens and free beta 2m, antibody binding to mouse-human somatic cell hybrids containing human chromosome 6 or 15, and antibody cross-reactivity with lymphocytes from nonhuman species. Two criteria for monomorphism were established: 1) equal inhibition or absorption of antibody activity by all papain-solubilized HLA antigens or cell lines of different HLA specificities tested; and 2) nonpolymorphic cross-reactivity within another species or subspecies. On the basis of soluble antigen inhibition and binding to somatic cell hybrids, 3 classes of antibodies were detected: anti-beta 2m, anti-heavy chain, and anti-complex (against a combinatorial determinant formed by heavy chain and beta 2m). Antibody cross-reaction patterns in nonhuman species were suggestive that these monomorphic antibodies detect a limited number of determinants, minimally one on each chain and 2 combinatorial determinants. Examination of the known primary sequences for HLA-A2, HLA-B7, H-2Kb, and mouse, rabbit and human beta 2m provides a molecular explanation for this limited mouse anti-HLA monomorphic antibody activity. 相似文献
