The binding of 125I-labeled wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) to parental and three distinct WGA-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines possessing modified cell surface carbohydrate structures has been examined over a 10(6)-fold range of WGA concentrations. The Scatchard plot for WGA binding to parental cells was complex and exhibited positively cooperative binding at the high affinity sites. One of the WGA-resistant mutants (WgaRIII) was apparently not altered in its WGA-binding ability compared with parental cells. However, two of the WGA-resistant lines (WgaRI and WgaRII) had distinct alterations in their WGA-binding properties specific to certain regions of the binding curve. Neither appeared to be affected in either the highest or lowest affinity regions of the binding curve. Thus, lectin-resistant cell mutants altered in specific lectin-binding sites at the cell surface provide a direct approach to analysis of the complex binding parameters that characterize the interaction of WGA with the plasma membrane.
在10⁶倍的麦胚凝集素(WGA)浓度范围内,研究了¹²⁵I标记的WGA与亲本细胞以及三种具有修饰细胞表面碳水化合物结构的不同WGA抗性中国仓鼠卵巢细胞系的结合情况。WGA与亲本细胞结合的Scatchard图很复杂,在高亲和力位点表现出正协同结合。其中一个WGA抗性突变体(WgaRIII)与亲本细胞相比,其WGA结合能力显然没有改变。然而,两个WGA抗性细胞系(WgaRI和WgaRII)在结合曲线的特定区域,其WGA结合特性有明显改变。在结合曲线的最高或最低亲和力区域,两者似乎都没有受到影响。因此,细胞表面特定凝集素结合位点发生改变的凝集素抗性细胞突变体,为分析表征WGA与质膜相互作用的复杂结合参数提供了一种直接方法。
