Specific Labelling

We have used cell-surface-specific labelling techniques and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to identify proteins on embryonic chick neural retina cells and to determine the effects of Ca2+ on their accessibility to labelling and tryptic removal. A number of proteins on these cells are, in the presence of Ca2+, relatively inaccessible to iodination and/or tryptic removal. Of these, a glycoprotein of Mr approx. 130 × 10(3), with a pI of approx. 4.8, is the major cell-surface-iodinatable species that is retained during trypsinization in the presence of Ca2+. The removal of Ca2+ renders this glycoprotein much more accessible to both procedures. Its accessibility to these probes decreases on re-addition of Ca2+. The accessibility of its oligosaccharide moiety to galactose oxidase is, however, unaltered by the removal of Ca2+. These characteristics, together with immunological data presented elsewhere suggest that this glycoprotein may be a component of the Ca2+-dependent adhesive system that can be demonstrated on these cells.

Surface Glycoproteins

Identification of the cell surface glycoproteins is an essential requirement for elucidating the mechanisms that mediate intercellular adhesion and cell migration in gastrulating amphibian embryos. In our experiments the glycoproteins present at the surface of isolated cells at blastula and gastrula stages were labelled with 3H-labelled sodium borohydride. The procedure included the oxidation of either galactosyl and, or, N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues with galactose oxidase or sialic acid with sodium metaperiodate. The tritiated components were analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. On the surface of isolated embryonic cells, 23 glycoproteins have been identified. The most important observation was the labelling of 15 new glycoproteins during gastrulation. At the late blastula stage, eight glycoproteins containing galactosyl or N-acetyl-galactosaminyl residues are labelled, while 23 are labelled at the late gastrula stage. In other experiments, glycoproteins labelled by [3H]fucose or [3H]mannose or precipitated by concanavalin A(ConA)-, or wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA)-Sepharose were studied by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in order to provide supplementary data on the synthesis and lectin-binding properties of major cell surface glycoproteins. It appears that approximately 100 different glycoproteins are revealed by these methods. Among them, 13 have been identified as major cell surface glycoproteins, 12 being labelled by [3H]mannose, four by [3H]fucose, 10 bearing an affinity for ConA and five for WGA. These 13 glycoproteins are synthesized throughout gastrulation without qualitative variation.

Two-dimensional PAGE (P. Z. O'Farrell, H. M. Goodman, and P. H. O'Farrell. 1977. Cell. 12:1133-1142) has been employed to assess the effects of antibody-dependent phagocytosis on the cell surface protein composition of RAW264 macrophages. Unilamellar phospholipid vesicles containing 1% dinitrophenyl-aminocaproyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DNP-cap-PE) were used as the target particle. Macrophages were exposed to anti-DNP antibody alone, vesicles alone, or vesicles in the presence of antibody for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Cell surface proteins were then labeled by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination at 4 degrees C. After detergent solubilization, membrane proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The resulting pattern of spots was compared to that of standard proteins. We have identified several surface proteins, not apparently associated with the phagocytic process, which are present either in a multichain structure or in several discretely charged forms. After phagocytosis, we have observed the appearance of two proteins of 45 and 50 kdaltons in nonreducing gels. In addition, we have noted the disappearance of a 140-kdalton protein in gels run under reducing conditions. These alterations would not be detected in the conventional one-dimensional gel electrophoresis. This evidence shows that phagocytosis leads to a modification of cell surface protein composition. Our results support the concept of specific enrichment and depletion of membrane components during antibody-dependent phagocytosis.

Cell Surface Proteins

Antiserum against a rat neuronal tumor cell line (B103) has been prepared in rabbit by intravenous injection of live cells. This immune serum (anti-B103) precipitates a few cell surface proteins recognizable by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis as common radioiodinatable spots in 15 different rat neural cell lines and in mouse and rat fibroblast cell lines. The apparent molecular weight of one major common protein (II4) is estimated by SDS gel electrophoresis to be somewhere between 80,000 and 90,000 and another protein (I3) to be 120,000. These two proteins are consistently recognized in various cell lines by this antiserum. Furthermore, at a 1:20 dilution, this serum causes monolayer cells to round up usually within 0.5 h and detach from the plate within 3 h. It also inhibits spreading of freshly plated cells. These effects of the antiserum are reversible. Upon absorption of the antiserum with cells (e.g., absorbed with a glial cell line, B27), the serum no longer causes the rounding up of the monolayer cells, it does not inhibit cell spreading, and it does not immune-precipitate the two common proteins from the cell surface of various cell lines. Antisera against several other rat cell lines also precipitate the same common proteins (II4 and I3) from the cell surface and prevent cell spreading. These data suggest that the antibody acts first at the cell surface and then inhibits cell spreading or rounding up of spread cells. The consistent pattern of the immunoprecipitated cell surface proteins on the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis makes these two common surface proteins (II4 or I3 or both) possible candidates for target proteins to which the antibody binds. Thus, they may play a critical role in cell spreading.

A Cell

Immunological probes and cell-surface biochemical analysis are combined to identify a cell-surface glycoprotein, which appears to be involved in the formation of calcium-dependent adhesions among embryonic chick neural retina cells. Comparison of radioiodinated cells shows that adhesive-competent cells have at their surface two glycoproteins not present on non-adhesive cells. These two components (with Mr 130 × 10(3), pI 4.8 and Mr 70 × 10(3), pI 4.8) are immunoprecipitable with adhesion-blocking antisera. A fraction derived from retina-conditioned medium, containing one major immunoprecipitable component, neutralizes the inhibitory activity of aggregation-inhibiting Fab' fragments and competes in immunoprecipitation for the two glycoprotein components. The evidence suggests that one or both of these components is involved in the formation of calcium-dependent adhesions among embryonic chick neural retina cells.

Platelet Proteins

SummaryThe platelet proteins of 9 thrombasthenic patients from 7 families were analysed by high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (HR-2DE) and crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). In 7 patients both glycoproteins (GPs) IIb and Ilia were absent or reduced to roughly the same extent. In two related patients only a trace of GP Ilb-IIIa complex was detected in CIE, but HR-2DE revealed a glycopeptide in the position of GP Ilia in an amount comparable to type II thrombasthenia. This GP Ilia-like component was neither recognized normally by anti-GP Ilb-IIIa antibodies nor labeled by surface iodination. In unreduced-reduced two-dimensional gel electrophoresis two components were observed in the region of GP Ilia. The assumption of a structural variant of GP Ilia in the two related patients is discussed.
