We describe the characterization of an acidic glycoprotein (molecular mass approximately 85 kDa) that associates with keratin intermediate filaments of 'simple'-type epithelia. Using a number of anti-keratin monoclonal antibodies, the 85 kDa glycoprotein was identified by co-immunoprecipitation with keratin polypeptides 8 and 18 (K8/18) from the human colonic epithelial cell line HT29 and several other epithelial cell lines. This Keratin-Associated Protein (termed KAP85) was readily detected after in vitro galactosylation of K8/18 immunoprecipitates obtained from mitosis-arrested cells. Its solubilization and detection were dependent on the detergent used, and it was barely detected after in vitro galactosylation of asynchronously growing G0/G1-phase cells. Its poor in vitro galactosylation in G0/G1-phase cells is likely a reflection of the lack of available terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues, since it can be labelled to a similar extent in G0/G1- and G2/M-phase cells using NaIO4/NaB3H4. Glycosidase digestion showed that KAP85 contains high mannose and complex oligosaccharides. Fractionation of total cellular K8/18 into soluble and cytoskeletal insoluble pools showed that KAP85 associates exclusively with the cytoskeletal K8/18 pool. Subcellular fractionation showed that KAP85 co-localizes with a plasma-membrane-enriched fraction that includes the transferrin receptor and KS-1 antigen. Our results demonstrate in vitro evidence of a membrane-associated glycoprotein (KAP85) which may serve as an attachment site for filamentous K8/18.
我们描述了一种酸性糖蛋白(分子量约85 kDa)的特性,该糖蛋白与“简单”型上皮细胞的角蛋白中间丝相关。使用多种抗角蛋白单克隆抗体,通过与人结肠上皮细胞系HT29和其他几种上皮细胞系中的角蛋白多肽8和18(K8/18)进行共免疫沉淀,鉴定出了85 kDa的糖蛋白。这种角蛋白相关蛋白(称为KAP85)在从有丝分裂停滞细胞中获得的K8/18免疫沉淀物进行体外半乳糖基化后很容易被检测到。其溶解和检测取决于所用的去污剂,在异步生长的G0/G1期细胞的体外半乳糖基化后几乎检测不到。它在G0/G1期细胞中体外半乳糖基化较差可能反映了缺乏可用的末端N-乙酰葡糖胺残基,因为使用NaIO4/NaB3H4在G0/G1期和G2/M期细胞中它可以被标记到相似的程度。糖苷酶消化表明KAP85含有高甘露糖和复合寡糖。将总细胞K8/18分离为可溶性和细胞骨架不溶性部分表明,KAP85仅与细胞骨架K8/18部分相关。亚细胞分级分离表明,KAP85与富含质膜的部分共定位,该部分包括转铁蛋白受体和KS-1抗原。我们的结果证明了一种膜相关糖蛋白(KAP85)的体外证据,它可能作为丝状K8/18的附着位点。
