Nature of sulphated macromolecules in mouse Reichert's membrane. Evidence for tyrosine O-sulphate in basement-membrane proteins.

ABSTRACT: Seven different sulphated macromolecules were detected in 6 M-guanidinium chloride extracts of metabolically [35S]sulphate-labelled mouse Reichert's membrane and were partially separated. Polypeptide bands of apparent Mr 50 000, 150 000 (tentatively identified as entactin) and 170 000 contained essentially tyrosine O-sulphate as the labelled component. Most of the radioactive sulphate was incorporated into three different proteoglycans, which could be separated by chromatography and density-gradient centrifugation before and after enzymic degradation. Enzymic analysis of glycosaminoglycans and of protein cores by immunoassays identified these components as low-density and high-density forms of heparan sulphate proteoglycan and a high-density form of chondroitin sulphate or dermatan sulphate proteoglycan.

Identification of complexes between the tyrosine-O-sulphate-binding protein and tyrosine-sulphated proteins in bovine liver membrane lysates.

Project description:Rabbit antiserum against electrophoretically purified bovine liver tyrosine-O-sulphate (TyrS)-binding protein was prepared. Affinity-purified antibodies from the antiserum were found to be capable of immunoprecipitating the TyrS-binding protein from the sodium choleate extract of a bovine liver microsomal membrane fraction. Using purified specific antibodies as the probe, Western blot analysis for the presence of TyrS-binding protein/tyrosine-sulphated protein complexes in bovine liver membrane lysates was performed. It was found that the TyrS-binding protein co-precipitated with three tyrosine-sulphated proteins (fibronectin, fibrinogen and complement C4) immunoprecipitated by their respective antibodies. In contrast, for the two non-tyrosine-sulphated proteins (haptoglobin and transferrin) tested, co-precipitation of the TyrS-binding protein was not observed. On employing an affinity gel fractionation technique, it was shown that partially purified TyrS-binding protein exhibited binding affinity towards Sepharose gels covalently bonded to fibronectin or fibrinogen, but not towards Sepharose gels bonded to albumin or transferrin. These results indicate that the TyrS-binding protein formed complexes with tyrosine-sulphated proteins both in vivo and in vitro, and thus provide support for the putative role of the former being the receptor of the latter.

Basement membrane remodelling regulates mouse embryogenesis.

Project description:Tissue sculpting during development has been attributed mainly to cellular events through processes such as convergent extension or apical constriction1,2. However, recent work has revealed roles for basement membrane remodelling in global tissue morphogenesis3-5. Upon implantation, the epiblast and extraembryonic ectoderm of the mouse embryo become enveloped by a basement membrane. Signalling between the basement membrane and these tissues is critical for cell polarization and the ensuing morphogenesis6,7. However, the mechanical role of the basement membrane in post-implantation embryogenesis remains unknown. Here we demonstrate the importance of spatiotemporally regulated basement membrane remodelling during early embryonic development. Specifically, we show that Nodal signalling directs the generation and dynamic distribution of perforations in the basement membrane by regulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases. This basement membrane remodelling facilitates embryo growth before gastrulation. The establishment of the anterior-posterior axis8,9 further regulates basement membrane remodelling by localizing Nodal signalling-and therefore the activity of matrix metalloproteinases and basement membrane perforations-to the posterior side of the embryo. Perforations on the posterior side are essential for primitive-streak extension during gastrulation by rendering the basement membrane of the prospective primitive streak more prone to breaching. Thus spatiotemporally regulated basement membrane remodelling contributes to the coordination of embryo growth, morphogenesis and gastrulation.

Cell surface chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) binds to the basement membrane heparan sulphate proteoglycan, perlecan, and is involved in cell adhesion.

Project description:Chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) is a cell surface proteoglycan highly expressed by tumour, perivascular and oligodendrocyte cells and known to be involved cell adhesion and migration. This study showed that CSPG4 was present as a proteoglycan on the cell surface of two melanoma cell lines, MM200 and Me1007, as well as shed into the conditioned medium. CSPG4 from the two melanoma cell lines differed in the amount of chondroitin sulphate (CS) decoration, as well as the way the protein core was fragmented. In contrast, the CSPG4 expressed by a colon carcinoma cell line, WiDr, was predominantly as a protein core on the cell surface lacking glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. This study demonstrated that CSPG4 immunopurified from the melanoma cell lines formed a complex with perlecan synthesized by the same cultured cells. Mechanistic studies showed that CSPG4 bound to perlecan via hydrophobic protein-protein interactions involving multiple sites on perlecan including the C-terminal region. Furthermore, this study revealed that CSPG4 interacted with perlecan to support cell adhesion and actin polymerization. Together these data suggest a novel mechanism by which CSPG4 expressing cells might attach to perlecan-rich matrices so as those found in connective tissues and basement membranes.

Polarized secretion of tyrosine-sulphated proteins and free tyrosine O-sulphate by filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells.

Project description:Filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells labelled for 24 h with [35S]sulphate were found to secrete macromolecules [35S]sulphated on their carbohydrate moieties predominantly into the basolateral medium, whereas the tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins synthesized were predominantly secreted into the apical medium. In contrast with the predominant apical secretin of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins, the free tyrosine O-[35S]sulphate (Tyr[35S]) was released mostly into the basolateral medium. A time-lapse study using prelabelled MDCK cells incubated in fresh medium revealed that, during the 48 h time course monitored, the release of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins into the apical medium was faster and quantitatively greater than that into the basolateral medium. During the same time there was a concomitant release, predominantly into the basolateral medium, of the free Tyr[35S] derived from the degradation of tyrosine-[35S]sulphated proteins. An endocytotic degradation experiment was performed to demonstrate the endocytosis of tyrosine-sulphated proteins and their degradation to generate free TyrS. It was found that free Tyr[35S] was generated and released when an apically secreted (or basolaterally secreted) tyrosine-[35S]sulphated protein preparation was added to the apical medium (or the basolateral medium) of unlabelled filter-grown MDCK cells. In both cases, the free Tyr[35S] generated was predominantly released into the basolateral medium similar to the results obtained in the time-lapse study.

Laminin N-terminus (LaNt) proteins, laminins and basement membrane regulation.

Project description:Basement membranes (BMs) are structured regions of the extracellular matrix that provide multiple functions including physical support and acting as a barrier, as a repository for nutrients and growth factors, and as biophysical signalling hubs. At the core of all BMs is the laminin (LM) family of proteins. These large heterotrimeric glycoproteins are essential for tissue integrity, and differences between LM family members represent a key nexus in dictating context and tissue-specific functions. These variations reflect genetic diversity within the family, which allows for multiple structurally and functionally distinct heterotrimers to be produced, each with different architectures and affinities for other matrix proteins and cell surface receptors. The ratios of these LM isoforms also influence the biophysical properties of a BM owing to differences in their relative ability to form polymers or networks. Intriguingly, the LM superfamily is further diversified through the related netrin family of proteins and through alternative splicing leading to the generation of non-LM short proteins known as the laminin N-terminus (LaNt) domain proteins. Both the netrins and LaNt proteins contain structural domains involved in LM-to-LM interaction and network assembly. Emerging findings indicate that one netrin and at least one LaNt protein can potently influence the structure and function of BMs, disrupting the networks, changing physical properties, and thereby influencing tissue function. These findings are altering the way that we think about LM polymerisation and, in the case of the LaNt proteins, suggest a hitherto unappreciated form of LM self-regulation.

Rapid catabolism of tyrosine-O-sulphated proteins and the formation of free tyrosine O-sulphate as an end product in rat embryo fibroblasts.

Project description:Rat embryo fibroblasts, line 3Y1, were prelabelled for 24 h with [35S]sulphate and incubated in fresh medium without [35S]sulphate. A rapid efflux of the overall 35S-labelled compounds from the cells into the medium was observed. After 9 h of incubation, about 50% of the total 35S radioactivity appeared in the medium and up to 84.3% did so at the end of a 48 h incubation. Determination of [35S]sulphated macromolecules present in both the cell-associated and the incubation-medium fractions at different time points during incubation indicated that the majority of the 35S-labelled compounds released from the cells were low-Mr products derived from digestion of the [35S]sulphated macromolecules. Further analysis for tyrosine-O-[35S]sulphated proteins, which constituted only a small fraction of the overall [35S]sulphated macromolecules, showed that, after 9 h of incubation, there was a 65% decrease in the cell-associated fraction, and only 16.4% remained after 48 h. During that time, an amount equivalent to 20.7% of the cell-associated tyrosine-O-[35S]sulphated proteins originally present was released into the medium. Free tyrosine O-[35S]sulphate was generated in the cells and excreted into the incubation medium. Its rate of increase with time, however, was slow, and could account for only 12.4% of the tyrosine-O-[35S]sulphated proteins catabolized at the end of the 48 h incubation.

One of the major sulphated proteins secreted by rat hepatocytes contains low-sulphated chondroitin sulphate.

Project description:When isolated hepatocytes are incubated with 35SO4(2-), a specific set of secretory proteins is labelled. One of these proteins is electrophoretically heterogeneous, with an apparent molecular mass of 35-45 kDa [Marcks von Würtemberg & Fries (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4088-4093]. Here we report that treatment with chondroitinase ABC converted the broad electrophoretic band of this protein, with a 50-60% loss of radioactivity, into a relatively homogeneous band with a molecular mass of 28 kDa. Size determination by gel chromatography of the protein's oligosaccharide chain (released by alkali treatment) indicated that it contained about 40 hexose units. Similar analysis of the enzyme-resistant oligosaccharide chain remaining linked to the protein after chondroitinase ABC treatment indicated a size of between six and eight hexose units. These observations suggest that the protein's oligosaccharide chain carries only three or four sulphate groups, of which one or two are located close to the polypeptide chain. Consistent with this hypothesis, the free oligosaccharide behaved like a low-sulphated glycosaminoglycan upon ion-exchange chromatography.

Basement membrane proteins modulate cell migration on bovine pericardium extracellular matrix scaffold.

Project description:Native bovine pericardium (BP) exhibits anisotropy of its surface ECM niches, with the serous surface (i.e., parietal pericardium) containing basement membrane components (e.g., Laminin, Col IV) and the fibrous surface (i.e., mediastinal side) being composed primarily of type I collagen (Col I). Native BP surface ECM niche anisotropy is preserved in antigen removed BP (AR-BP) extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds. By exploiting sideness (serous or fibrous surface) of AR-BP scaffolds, this study aims to determine the mechanism by which ECM niche influences human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) migration. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) seeding on serous surface promoted more rapid cell migration than fibrous surface seeding. Gene analysis revealed that expression of integrin α3 and α11 were increased in cells cultured on serous surface compared to those on the fibrous side. Monoclonal antibody blockade of α3β1 (i.e., laminin binding) inhibited early (i.e. ≤ 6 h) hMSC migration following serous seeding, while having no effect on migration of cells on the fibrous side. Blockade of α3β1 resulted in decreased expression of integrin α3 by cells on serous surface. Monoclonal antibody blockade of α11β1 (i.e., Col IV binding) inhibited serous side migration at later time points (i.e., 6-24 h). These results confirmed the role of integrin α3β1 binding to laminin in mediating early rapid hMSCs migration and α11β1 binding to Col IV in mediating later hMSCs migration on the serous side of AR-BP, which has critical implications for rate of cellular monolayer formation and use of AR-BP as blood contacting material for clinical applications.

Basement-membrane heparan sulphate with high affinity for antithrombin synthesized by normal and transformed mouse mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:Basement-membrane proteoglycans, biosynthetically labelled with [35S]sulphate, were isolated from normal and transformed mouse mammary epithelial cells. Proteoglycans synthesized by normal cells contained mainly heparan sulphate and, in addition, small amounts of chondroitin sulphate chains, whereas transformed cells synthesized a relatively higher proportion of chondroitin sulphate. Polysaccharide chains from transformed cells were of lower average Mr and of lower anionic charge density compared with chains isolated from the untransformed counterparts, confirming results reported previously [David & Van den Berghe (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 7338-7344]. A large proportion of the chains isolated from normal cells bound with high affinity to immobilized antithrombin, and the presence of 3-O-sulphated glucosamine residues, previously identified as unique markers for the antithrombin-binding region of heparin [Lindahl, Bäckström, Thunberg & Leder (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 6551-6555], could be demonstrated. A significantly lower proportion of the chains derived from transformed cells bound with high affinity to antithrombin, and a corresponding decrease in the amount of incorporated 3-O-sulphate was observed.
