Growth Factor Beta

Analyses of cDNA clones coding for simian type 1 transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta 1) suggest that there are three potential sites for N-linked glycosylation located in the amino terminus of the precursor region. Analysis of [3H]glucosamine-labeled serum-free supernatants from a line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which secrete high levels of recombinant TGF-beta 1 indicate that the TGF-beta 1 precursor, but not the mature form, is glycosylated. Digestion with neuraminidase resulted in a shift in migration of the two TGF-beta 1 precursor bands, which suggests that they contain sialic acid residues. Endoglycosidase H had no noticeable effect. Treatment with N-glycanase produced two faster-migrating sharp bands, the largest of which had a molecular weight of 39 kilodaltons. TGF-beta 1-specific transcripts produced by SP6 polymerase programmed the synthesis of a 42-kilodalton polypeptide which, we suggest, is the unmodified protein backbone of the precursor. Labeling with 32Pi showed that the TGF-beta 1 precursor was phosphorylated in the amino portion of the molecule.

ABSTRACT Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (hIGF-I) and a biologically potent variant lacking the N-terminal tripeptide (des(1–3)IGF-I) were produced from transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. The constructs encoding the signal peptide, sequence of the mature peptide and a C-terminal extension peptide were expressed under the control of a Rous sarcoma virus promoter. Successfully transfected clones secreting correctly processed recombinant hIGF-I or des(1–3)IGF-I were selected by their secretion of IGF-I-like activity into the culture medium. The recombinant peptides were purified to homogeneity as assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography and N-terminal sequence analysis. The purified recombinant peptides exhibited biological potencies equivalent to authentic IGF-I and des(1–3)IGF-I respectively.
