Embryos of the sea urchin, Stronglyocentrotus purpuratus, synthesize several classes of sulfated and non-sulfated glycoproteins during gastrulation. The antibiotic tunicamycin, which is a specific inhibitor of the N-glycosylation of proteins, inhibits the synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides in these embryos at concentrations which have little effect on the biosynthesis of other classes of glycolipids or on protein synthesis. As a consequence of this inhibition, glycoproteins with oligosaccharide side chains of the general type (Man)5-7-(GlcNAc)2 are not synthesized. In addition, the biosynthesis of a novel class of sulfated glycoproteins is inhibited. In contrast, no effect upon the synthesis of sulfated glycosaminoglycans is seen. The morphogenetic consequence of tunicamycin treatment is that development of embryos from the mesenchyme blastula to the gastrula stage is arrested. The results provide evidence that during development glycoproteins containing both unsulfated and sulfated N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide chains are synthesized via the lipid-linked pathway. The biosynthesis of these molecules appears to be a prerequisite to the differentiation and morphogenesis that occurs during gastrulation. 相似文献

Corneal tissues (epithelium, endothelium, and stroma) were isolated from chick embryos at 14, 17, and 20 days of incubation and immediately labeled in vitro with d-[6-3H]glucosamine and H235SO4. Amount of label incorporated into each type of glycosaminoglycan or into glycopeptides was determined by specific degradative techniques, in conjunction with gel filtration chromatography. Results suggested that corneal epithelium synthesized little, if any, corneal keratan sulfates, but that corneal endothelium may have synthesized small amounts of corneal keratan sulfates. Nearly all corneal keratan sulfates were derived from the stroma. Corneal heparan sulfates appeared to be derived predominantly from corneal epithelium at later stages of development. Corneal endothelium contributed large proportions of the hyaluronic acids of the cornea. Only epithelium produced a large proportion of sulfated glycoproteins. In addition, epithelium synthesized a large proportion of a sulfated, high molecular weight polysaccharide which was resistant to treatments degrading known types of glycosaminoglycans. Each corneal tissue may not only affect corneal morphogenesis directly by contributing a unique spectrum of glycosylated proteins to the extracellular matrix, but also may regulate the extracellular matrix composition indirectly by modulating the biosynthetic activities of the other corneal tissues. 相似文献

Polysaccharides sulfated at the time of gastrulation in embryos of the sea urchin Clypeaster japonicus 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Based on the fact that the development of sea urchin embryos is arrested at the blastula stage in sulfate-free sea water (SFSW), we attempted in the present study to elucidate the nature of sulfated polysaccharides (PSs) which appear at the time of gastrulation in embryos of the sea urchin Clypeaster japonicus. Electrophoretic analysis of PSs prepared from embryos at different developmental stages revealed that three kinds of PSs (3A, 3B, 3C) appear de novo at the gastrula stage, and that these PSs are not found in embryos at the hatching blastula stage, nor are they found in permanent blastula reared in SFSW. These, three PSs were mostly of extracellular matrix origin. Among them, 3C was identified as dermatan sulfate on the basis of its electrophoretic mobility and sensitivity to enzymatic digestion. 3A and 3B remained to be identified. Further, a plausible precursor of 3C, which was sulfated under normal conditions, was detected as 6D in the embryos reared in SFSW. Autoradiographic analysis using [35S]sulfate revealed that these three PSs, accounted for more than 90% of [35S]sulfate incorporated into the acid PS fraction during gastrulation. 相似文献

Three sulfated glycoproteins (ZP-1, ZP-2, and ZP-3) make up the zona pellucida, an extracellular glycocalyx that surrounds mouse oocytes. We have produced five monoclonal antibodies specific to the zona. All five immunoprecipitated ZP-2, and in addition, two of the antibodies immunoprecipitated ZP-3. This suggests the presence of either a common antigenic site or one made up in part by each of the two glycoproteins. The monoclonal antibodies bound to approximately 1.3 X 10(8) binding sites per ovulated mouse egg which represents 2% of the total number of ZP-2 molecules present in the zona. ZP-2 appeared to be present throughout the zona and indirect immunofluorescence revealed a fibrous pattern with no evidence of localization. Furthermore, this pattern of distribution, which was identical for all five monoclones, remained constant after fertilization at the two-cell embryo stage. Laser photobleaching demonstrated that ZP-2 is stably integrated in the extracellular matrix of the zona pellucida. No mouse tissue other than the ovary contained ZP-2 and ZP-2 is antigenically distinct from other previously described extracellular matrix proteins. 相似文献

Evidence for the presence of a sulfated polysaccharide component within the extracellular matrix of Platydorina caudata Kofoid is presented. In situ staining with alcian blue and toluidine blue O indicates accumulation of a sulfated polysaccharide in the matrix. The entire matrix was readily solubilized by a hot aqueous extraction and a sulfated proteoglycan complex was isolated. Thin-layer chromatography of hydrolysates and infrared analysis and chemical desulfation of the intact molecule indicate that the polysaccharide component is principally an arabinogalactan with ester-linked sulfate groups. Protease treatment of the extract revealed two distinct bands separable on cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The slower moving component was a sulfated glycoprotein while the faster moving component was a sulfated mucopolysaccharide essentially free of protein. This is the first report of specific chemical analyses and electrophoretic separation of a sulfated polysaccharide within the matrix of a member of the Volvocales. The cytochemistry and electrophoretic patterns of the P. caudata preparation are compared with the same type of extract made from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dang. The possible evolutionary significance of the electrophoretic patterns is presented. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to the major protein of the murine zona pellucida: effects on fertilization and early development 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The growing murine oocyte is surrounded by an extracellular zona pellucida consisting of three sulfated glycoproteins, ZP-1, ZP-2, and ZP-3. The smallest of these, ZP-3, has been reported to be the species-specific sperm receptor. Monoclonal antibodies have been recently characterized to three different antigenic determinants, two found exclusively on ZP-2, and one found on both ZP-2 and ZP-3. The in vivo effect of these antibodies on the three known functions of the zona pellucida were examined. The most dramatic effect was the prevention of fertilization. After administration, the monoclonal antibodies were located in the ovary on the zona pellucida of growing oocytes. Eggs ovulated subsequently were coated with the monoclonal antibodies and failed to develop into 2-cell embryos after mating. Eighty days later, the monoclonal antibodies could no longer be detected on the zona of ovarian oocytes, and this loss coincided with the resumption of fertility. These findings provide molecular evidence for the hypothesis that the immunological block to sperm-egg binding need not involve antibody specific for the sperm receptor, and that antibodies to the zona pellucida block sperm access by steric hinderance. Other known functions of the zona were unaffected. The antibodies were unable to induce the biochemical changes in the zona associated with the postfertilization block to polyspermy and had no detectable effect on preimplantation development. 相似文献

Unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus are surrounded by a gelatinous layer rich in sulfated fucan. Shortly after fertilization this polysaccharide disappears, but 24 h later the embryos synthesize high amounts of dermatan sulfate concomitantly with the mesenchyme blastula-early gastrula stage when the larval gut is forming. This glycosaminoglycan has the same backbone structure [4-alpha-L-IdoA-1-->3-beta-D-GalNAc-1](n) as the mammalian counterpart but possesses a different sulfation pattern. It has a high content of 4-O- and 6-O-disulfated galactosamine units. In addition, chains of this dermatan sulfate are considerable longer than those of vertebrate tissues. Adult sea urchin tissues contain high concentrations of sulfated polysaccharides, but dermatan sulfate is restricted to the adult body wall where it accounts for approximately 20% of the total sulfated polysaccharides. In addition, sulfation at the 4-O-position decreases markedly in the dermatan sulfate from adult sea urchin when compared with the glycan from larvae. Overall, these results demonstrate the occurrence of dermatan sulfates with unique sulfation patterns in this marine invertebrate. The physiological implication of these oversulfated dermatan sulfates is unclear. One hypothesis is that interactions between components of the extracellular matrix in marine invertebrates occur at higher salt concentrations than in vertebrates and therefore require glycosaminoglycans with increased charge density. 相似文献

Defective heparan sulfate biosynthesis and neonatal lethality in mice lacking N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase-1 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Heparan sulfate is a sulfated polysaccharide present on most cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix. In vivo functions of heparan sulfate can be studied in mouse strains lacking enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate. Glucosaminyl N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (NDST) catalyzes the first modifying step in the biosynthesis of the polysaccharide. This bifunctional enzyme occurs in several isoforms. We here report that targeted gene disruption of NDST-1 in the mouse results in a structural alteration of heparan sulfate in most basement membranes as revealed by immunohistochemical staining of fetal tissue sections using antibodies raised against heparan sulfate. Biochemical analysis of heparan sulfate purified from fibroblast cultures, lung, and liver of NDST-1-deficient embryos demonstrated a dramatic reduction in N-sulfate content. Most NDST-1-deficient embryos survive until birth; however, they turn out to be cyanotic and die neonatally in a condition resembling respiratory distress syndrome. In addition, a minor proportion of NDST-1-deficient embryos die during the embryonic period. The cause of the embryonic lethality is still obscure, but incompletely penetrant defects of the skull and the eyes have been observed. 相似文献

Suspensions of chondrocytes were prepared by treatment with trypsin of the epiphyses of tibias and femurs of 13-day-old chick embryos. After washing to remove the matrix, such suspensions readily incorporate radioactive sulfate into both intracellular and extracellular chondroitin sulfate. Following disruption of the cells, the cell constituents were fractionated by centrifugation. Fractions obtained from cells incubated for 10 minutes showed a concentration of radioactivity in the material which sediments at 10,000 to 20,000 g. At this time the radioactivity of the extracellular chondroitin sulfate is low, but at 1 hour the radioactivity of the intracellular material is relatively unchanged, while that of the extracellular polysaccharide is markedly increased. Following incubation of the chondrocyte suspensions in a tissue culture medium, the intracellular chondroitin sulfate was isolated. This was compared with chondroitin sulfate isolated from the cartilage matrix. Chemical analysis and infrared spectroscopy indicated that both the intracellular and extracellular polysaccharides consist of a mixture of chondroitin sulfuric acids A and C. A portion of the chondroitin sulfate is not sulfated. 相似文献

The mouse teratocarcinoma-derived cell line, PYS-2, has been shown to produce laminin, a basement membrane-specific glycoprotein. In these studies we demonstrate that PYS-2 cells synthesize and secrete into the culture medium a proteoglycan which contains only heparan sulfate as its sulfated polysaccharide side chains, as well as type IV procollagen and laminin. The apparent molecular weights of the proteoglycan and its heparan sulfate side chain were estimated to be 400,000 and 25,000, respectively, by gel chromatography. A proteoheparan sulfate with properties closely similar, if not identical, to those of the proteoglycan in the medium, together with two heparan sulfate single chains of different molecular size, were extracted from the cell layer with 2% SDS in the presence of protease inhibitors. Ultrastructurally, a fine fibrillar intercellular matrix was recognized which contained discrete 100-200 A diameter ruthenium red-positive granules interspersed throughout the filamentous meshwork. The PYS-2 cultures were shown by immunofluorescence to react with antibodies against the heparan sulfate-containing proteoglycan isolated from the mouse EHS sarcoma (Hassell, J. R., P. G. Robey, H. J. Barrach, J. Wilczek, S. I. Rennard, and G. R. Martin. 1980. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 77:4494-4498). Immunoelectron microscopic examination, using the same antibodies, revealed that the proteoheparan sulfate was located not only at the edges but also within the interstices of the matrix. These findings indicate that PYS-2 cells synthesize and secrete a proteoglycan with properties similar to those of basement membrane proteoglycan. These cells may therefore serve as a useful model system for the study of the biosynthesis and structure of basement membranes. 相似文献

Sulfated glycoconjugates were ultrastructurally localized within embryonic chick marrow by using the high iron diamine-silver proteinate stain. Stain was concentrated in the extravascular, granulopoietic compartment, indicating that granulopoiesis, but not erythropoiesis, proceeded in a highly sulfated environment. It was likely that most of the stainable material represented sulfated proteoglycans since staining was abrogated by predigesting tissue with enzymes and other treatments known to degrade specific glycosaminoglycan chains. Chondroitinase/hyaluronidase digestion resulted in the removal of most of the stainable material associated with the extracellular matrix and a portion of the stainable material associated with fibroblastic cell surfaces. Unaffected material lay in close proximity to fibroblastic cell membranes. Heparitinase/heparinase digestion had essentially the opposite effect. Sulfated material associated with matrix components was largely unaffected, but the fibroblastic plasmalemmal material was now absent. These results suggest that there are at least two categories of sulfated proteoglycans in the granulopoietic compartment, each differentially distributed. The plasmalemmal material likely represented heparan sulfate which in this tissue appeared to be associated in a uniform layer with fibroblastic stromal cell membranes and not with blood or endothelial cell membranes. Material identified as chondroitin sulfates was found within patches of amorphous matrix that was located on fibroblastic stromal cell surfaces and that was interspersed with fibrils in the extracellular matrix. Chondroitin sulfates were sparsely distributed on granulocytic cell surfaces. 相似文献

An increase in arylsulfatase activity occurs after hatching in embryos of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus pupuratus. The bulk of this increase can be attributed to the accumulation of an extracellular activity, since it can be removed by an embryo dissociation medium or upon protease treatment of intact embryos. Also, intact embryos can hydrolyze exogenous substrate, displaying activity equivalent to that which can be removed by the dissociation or protease treatment. The data indicate that the activity appears as a newly secreted molecule ionically coupled to a membrane site or to other components in the extracellular matrix. The majority of the activity is a single component of apparently large molecular size (analyzed on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), consistent with the suggestion that it may be complexed with other extracellular components. A morphogenetic role for this enzyme is suggested by the appearance of the extracellular sulfatase temporally coincident with the requirement of sulfated proteoglycans and glycoproteins for cell movement and shape changes. 相似文献

The sexual pheromone of Volvox carteri elicits drastic changes in the synthesis of extracellular sulfated glycoproteins. Synthesis of at least two sulfated glycoproteins is turned on. Induction of this synthetic capacity is as sensitive to the pheromone (∼10−16 M) as the overall process of sexual induction. The earliest response, detectable a few minutes after the application of the pheromone, is the synthesis of a tyrosine sulfate-containing glycoprotein (SG 70). SG 70 is a short-lived molecule (half-life ∼ 20 min) and serves as a precursor for an insoluble extracellular matrix structure. The pheromone-induced sulfated glycoproteins described are exclusively synthesized by somatic cells, rather than by reproductive cells, the ultimate recipients of the pheromone's message. Contrary to earlier reports in the literature, it is demonstrated that isolated reproductive cells remain responsive to the sexual pheromone and develop to sexual spheroids. In the light of this finding together with the site of their synthesis the role of these pheromone-induced glycoproteins is discussed. 相似文献

Colonial development in Pandorina morum. I. Structure and composition of the extracellular matrix 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A B Fulton 《Developmental biology》1978,64(2):224-235
Every cell in a colony of the freshwater alga Pandorina morum produces a daughter colony in each round of vegetative reproduction. The cells of P. morum structurally resemble those of Chlamydomonas and do not obviously differ from their presumptive unicellular ancestor in ways that would account for their colonial state. It is therefore possible that their colonial association may be the result of altered extracellular matrix, intercellular connections, or modified processes of cell division and matrix formation. The ultrastructural studies and chemical analysis reported here show that the matrix of P. morum is a multilayered structure containing hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins and sulfated polysaccharide. Significantly, this matrix displays no major differences from the “wall” of Chlamydomonas species. No intercellular connections have been found in mature colonies. The extracellular matrix therefore maintains, but does not initiate, the colonial arrangement of the cells. 相似文献

Acid mucopolysaccharide metabolism, the cell surface, and primary mesenchyme cell activity in the sea urchin embryo 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The relationship between 35SO4 incorporation into acid mucopolysaccharides and the appearance and activity of the primary mesenchyme cells has been studied in the sea urchin, Lytechinus pictus. The ratio of the uptake of 35SO4 to its incorporation into cetylpyridinium chloride precipitable material varies over a wide range during early development, with the smallest ratio, therefore the greatest sulfation activity, being found at the early mesenchyme blastula stage. The types of mucopolysaccharides produced have not been identified, but are heterogeneous. At the mesenchyme blastula stage nearly 90% of the polysaccharides produced become sulfated. When embryos develop in sulfate-free sea water to the mesenchyme blastula stage there is a 70% decrease in the incorporation of 3H-acetate into polysaccharides and a 13-fold decrease in the ratio of sulfated to nonsulfated polysaccharides produced. Embryos raised in sulfate-free sea water develop normally to the mesenchyme blastula stage at which time there is an accumulation in the blastocoel of primary mesenchyme cells that do not migrate. The surface of the primary mesenchyme cells of sulfate-deficient embryos has a smooth appearance in the scanning electron microscope, while the surface of these cells in control embryos is rough, possibly reflecting the presence of an extracellular coat. It is suggested that there is a correlation between sulfated polysaccharide synthesis, cell surface morphology and cell movement. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate and development: differential roles of the N-acetylglucosamine N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase isozymes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Heparan sulfates (HSs) are N- and O-sulfated polysaccharide components of proteoglycans, which are important constituents of the cell surface as well as the extracellular matrix. Heparin, with extensive clinical application as an anticoagulant, is a highly sulfated form of HS present within the granules of connective tissue type mast cells. The diverse functions of HS, which include the modulation of growth factor/cytokine activity, interaction with matrix proteins and binding of enzymes to cell surfaces, depend greatly on the presence of specific, high affinity regions on the chains. N-acetylglucosamine N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferases, NDSTs, are an important group of enzymes in HS biosynthesis, initiating the sulfation of the polysaccharide chains and thus determining the generation of the high affinity sites. Here, we review the role of the four vertebrate NDSTs in HS biosynthesis as well as their regulated expression. The main emphasis is the phenotypes of mice lacking one or more of the NDSTs. 相似文献

Soluble lectins of chicken, rat, frog, and the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum, were purified and specific antibodies raised against these proteins were used to immunohistochemically localize the lectins in and around the tissues in which they were synthesized. Within cells, some of these soluble lectins (chicken-lactose-lectin-II in intestinal goblet cells, discoidin II in prespore cells) appear to be concentrated within vesicles whereas others (e.g., rat beta-galactoside lectin in pulmonary alveolar and smooth muscle cells) appear to be free in the cytoplasm. All of these lectins are eventually secreted to extracellular sites in developing or adult tissues. The sites include mucin (chicken-lactose-lectin-II in intestine); developing extracellular matrix (chicken-lactose-lectin-I in muscle; Xenopus laevis lectin in blastula stage embryos); slime (discoidin I); developing spore coat (discoidin II); and a specialized extracellular matrix, elastic fibers (rat beta-galactoside lectin in lung). In cases where this has been studied in detail (discoidin I, discoidin II, and chicken-lactose-lectin-II), the lectin is associated with a complementary extracellular ligand, at least transiently. Lectin-ligand interactions presumably confer specialized properties in these particular extracellular domains. 相似文献

The mouse zona pellucida is comprised of three sulfated glycoproteins designated ZP-1, ZP-2 and ZP-3. They are synthesized during oogenesis and secreted to form an extracellular matrix which mediates sperm-egg interactions and appears to protect the growing embryo as it passes down the oviduct. Parenterally administered anti-ZP-2 and anti-ZP-3 monoclonal antibodies localize uniquely to the ovary and coat the zona pellucida surrounding growing ooctyes. When ovulated, these eggs can bind sperm but the presence of the antibody effectively prevents sperm penetration of the zona pellucida and, thus, inhibits fertilization. This contraceptive effect continues until all of the antibody coated oocytes are ovulated (−60 days) at which time the treated animals are again fertile. The anti-zona antibodies do not otherwise perturb early development. 相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies directed against ribophorins I and II, two membrane glycoproteins characteristic of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, inhibit the cotranslational translocation of a secretory protein growth hormone into the lumen of dog pancreas or rat liver microsomes. As expected, site-specific antibodies to epitopes located within the cytoplasmic domain of ribophorin I, but not antibodies to epitopes in the luminal domain of this protein, were effective in inhibiting translocation. Since monovalent Fab fragments were as inhibitory as intact IgG molecules, ribophorins must be closely associated with the translocation site and, therefore, are likely to function at some stage in the translocation process. In all cases, the antibodies that inhibited translocation also caused a significant reduction in total protein synthesis and treatments that neutralized their capacity to inhibit translocation also prevented their inhibitory effect on protein synthesis. This would be expected if the antibodies blocked the membrane-mediated relief of the SRP-induced arrest of polypeptide elongation. The antibodies were effective only when added before translocation was allowed to begin. In this case, they prevented the targeting of active ribosomes containing mRNA and nascent chains to the ER membrane. Thus, ribophorins must either directly participate in targeting or be so close to the targeting site that the antibodies sterically blocked this early phase of the translocation process. 相似文献

Endosperm cell walls were isolated from rice grains and their chemical composition was analyzed. The cell walls were composed of cellulose microfibrils and matrix phase which consisted of hemicellulose and pectic substances. Hemicellulose mainly comprised arabinoxylan, accompanied by a small amount of glucose-containing polysaccharide. Pectic substances contained polygalacturonides, some of which had side chains containing neutral sugars such as galactose and arabinose. Amino acid analysis of these fractions suggested that hydroxyproline-containing glycoproteins were contained in these cell walls and firmly bound to cellulose microfibrils. 相似文献
