Endocytosis of a small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan. Identification of binding proteins.

ABSTRACT: Endosomal preparations from human osteosarcoma cells and from fibroblasts contain 51,000- and 26,000-Mr proteins which bind a small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan after SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Binding can be inhibited by unlabelled proteoglycan core protein. The proteins co-precipitate with a proteoglycan core protein-antibody complex. Scatchard analysis of immobilized endosomal proteins yielded a KD of about 37 nM for the proteoglycan. In intact cells proteins of the same size can be found. They are sensitive to trypsinization. A 51,000-Mr protein is the predominant membrane protein with strong binding to immobilized dermatan sulphate proteoglycan. There are additional proteoglycan-binding proteins with Mr values of around 30,000 and 14,000 which are insensitive to trypsin treatment. In contrast with the 51,000- and 26,000-Mr proteins, they resist deoxycholate/Triton X-100 extraction several days after subcultivation.

The gene structure and organization of mouse PG-Lb, a small chondroitin/dermatan sulphate proteoglycan.

Project description:PG-Lb was originally characterized as a small chondroitin/dermatan sulphate proteoglycan expressed preferentially in the zones of flattened chondrocytes in developing chick limb cartilage. The occurrence of this proteoglycan in mammalian cartilage has been shown by the isolation of a cDNA clone from mouse cartilage cDNA library [Kurita, Shinomura,Ujita, Zako, Kida, Iwata and Kimata (1996) Biochem. J. 318, 909-914]. To understand the regulation mechanisms for such a unique expression, we have investigated a genomic DNA structure of the PG-Lb gene. The gene is composed of seven exons and six introns spanning more than 50 kb. The leucine-rich repeats are encoded from exon V to exon VII. The transcription initiation site has been determined by rapid amplification of the cDNA ends ('5'-RACE'). The possible TATA box was detected about 90 bp upstream of the adenosine residue that was numbered as position +1. Further analyses of 1.5 kb of the 5' flanking region and 2.2 kb of the first intron have revealed several potential binding motifs for transcription factors such as Sox 5 and 9. The presence of those sequences in the PG-Lb gene was discussed in relation to the unique expression of this proteoglycan. The chromosomal localization of the murine PG-Lb gene was determined to be on the mouse chromosome 10 by the fluorescence-in-situ-hybridization ('FISH') method.

Non-uniform influence of transforming growth factor-beta on the biosynthesis of different forms of small chondroitin sulphate/dermatan sulphate proteoglycan.

Project description:The influence of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the expression of different forms of small proteoglycans was investigated in human skin fibroblasts and in a human osteosarcoma cell line. TGF-beta was not found to act as a general stimulator of small proteoglycan biosynthesis. In both cell types, an increased expression of the core protein of proteoglycan I was found. However, there was a profound decrease in the expression of a 106 kDa core protein, and either no alteration or a small decrease in the biosynthesis of the collagen-binding small proteoglycan II core protein. These results show that the production of individual members of the small proteoglycan family is differentially regulated.

A study of the interaction in vitro between type I collagen and a small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan.

Project description:The interaction between a small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan isolated from human uterine cervix and collagen type I from human and rat skin was investigated by collagen-fibrillogenesis experiments. Collagen fibrillogenesis was initiated by elevation of temperature and pH after addition of proteoglycan, chondroitinase-digested proteoglycan or isolated side chains, and monitored by turbidimetry. Collagen-associated and unbound proteoglycan was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after aggregation was complete. (1) The binding of proteoglycan to collagen could be explained by the presence of two mutually non-interacting binding sites, with Ka1 = 1.3 x 10(8) M-1 and Ka2 = 1.3 x 10(6) M-1. The number of binding sites per tropocollagen molecule was n1 = 0.11 and n2 = 1.1. The 0.1 high-affinity binding site per tropocollagen molecule indicates that the strong interaction between proteoglycan and collagen results from a concerted action of tropocollagen molecules in fibrils. Digestion of the proteoglycan with chondroitinase ABC did not affect these binding characteristics. (2) Proteoglycan did not affect the rate of fibrillogenesis, but increased the steady-state A400 by up to 90%. This increase was directly proportional to the saturation of the high-affinity type of binding sites. Neither isolated core protein nor isolated side chains induced a similar high increase in steady-state A400. (3) Electron micrographs showed that the fibril diameter was affected only to a minor extent, if at all, by the proteoglycan, whereas bundles of laterally aligned fibrils were common in the presence of proteoglycan. (4) Results obtained with human and rat collagen were similar.

Dermatan sulphate proteoglycan from human articular cartilage. Variation in its content with age and its structural comparison with a small chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan from pig laryngeal cartilage.

Project description:Low molecular mass proteoglycans (PG) were isolated from human articular cartilage and from pig laryngeal cartilage, which contained protein cores of similar size (Mr 40-44 kDa). However, the PG from human articular cartilage contained dermatan sulphate (DS) chains (50% chondroitinase AC resistant), whereas chains from pig laryngeal PG were longer and contained only chondroitin sulphate (CS). Disaccharide analysis after chondroitinase ABC digestion showed that the human DS-PG contained more 6-sulphated residues (34%) than the pig CS-PG (6%) and both contained fewer 6-sulphated residues than the corresponding high Mr aggregating CS-PGs from these tissues (86% and 20% from human and pig respectively). Cross-reaction of both proteoglycans with antibodies to bovine bone and skin DS-PG-II and human fibroblasts DS-PG suggested that the isolated proteoglycans were the humans DS-PG-II and pigs CS-PG-II homologues of the cloned and sequenced bovine proteoglycan. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the pig CS-PG-II were shown to cross-react with human DS-PG-II. SDS/polyacrylamide-gel analysis and immunoblotting of pig and human cartilage extracts showed that some free core protein was present in the tissues in addition to the intact proteoglycan. The antibodies were used in a competitive radioimmunoassay to determine the content of this low Mr proteoglycan in human cartilage extracts. Analysis of samples from 5-80 year-old humans showed highest content (approximately 4 mg/g wet wt.) in those from 15-25 year-olds and lower content (approximately 1 mg/g wet wt.) in older tissue (greater than 55 years). These changes in content may be related to the deposition and maintenance of the collagen fibre network with which this class of small proteoglycan has been shown to interact.

Isolation and characterization of dermatan sulphate proteoglycan from human uterine cervix.

Project description:Proteoglycans were extracted from human uterine cervix with 4 M-guanidinium chloride in the presence of proteinase inhibitors. They were purified by density-gradient centrifugation in 4 M-guanidinium chloride/CsCl (starting density 1.32 g/ml) followed by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose chromatography. Only one polydisperse proteoglycan was found. s020,w was 2.1S and the weight-average molecular weight was 73 000 (sedimentation-equilibrium centrifugation) to 110 500 (light-scattering). The core protein was monodisperse, with an apparent molecular weight of 47 000. The proteoglycan contained about 30% protein and probably two or three glycosaminoglycan side chains per molecule. High contents of aspartate, glutamate and leucine were found. The glycan moiety of the proteoglycan was exclusively dermatan sulphate, with a co-polymeric structure with approximately equal quantities of iduronic acid- and glucuronic acid-containing disaccharides.

Purification and characterization of a small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan implicated in the dilatation of the rat uterine cervix.

Project description:A small dermatan sulphate proteoglycan (DSPG) was extracted from rat cervices and was purified by using DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B and CsCl-density-gradient centrifugation. Sedimentation-equilibrium centrifugation gave a weight-average Mr of 95,000. Amino acid analysis showed a high content of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and leucine. The glycosaminoglycan chains had Mr 50,000 as determined by gel filtration. Chondroitin AC lyase and chondroitin ABC lyase digestions of these chains showed that they were composed of 75% dermatan sulphate and 25% chondroitin sulphate. Chondroitin ABC lyase digestion produced a core protein of Mr 45,000. The core protein, after treatment with HF, had Mr 37,000. Amino acid sequences of the N-terminus and a CNBr-cleavage peptide showed similarity to the sequences of core proteins of small proteoglycans of bovine and human origin, but the N-terminal glycosaminoglycan-attachment site (Ser-Gly-Ile-Ile) differed from the consensus sequence (Ser-Gly-Xaa-Gly) [Bourdon, Krusius, Campbell, Schwartz & Ruoslahti (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 3194-3198]. A polyclonal antibody against the rat cervical DSPG reacted with small proteoglycans from cervices of human, mouse, dog, cow and sheep. DSPG is the major proteoglycan species present in the cervix. The amount of DSPG per cervix increases 4-fold during pregnancy, then falls precipitously within 1 day post partum. A role in cervical dilatation is postulated for this proteoglycan.

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.

Human recombinant interleukin-1 regulates cellular mRNA levels of dermatan sulphate proteoglycan core protein.

Project description:Human skin fibroblasts were exposed to various concentrations (from 0.01 to 5.0 units/ml) of human recombinant interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta). Both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta were found to increase dermatan-sulphate-proteoglycan (DSPG) core-protein mRNA levels. Maximal increase (3.0-fold) was seen at 48 h after addition of 1 unit of IL-1 beta/ml. In spite of the elevated DSPG-core-protein mRNA only a slight increase (from 10 to 18%) could be seen in the production of DSPG to cell-culture medium. No changes in the molecular mass of DSPG could be detected.

Identification and characterization of photomedins: novel olfactomedin-domain-containing proteins with chondroitin sulphate-E-binding activity.

Project description:We screened more than 60000 RIKEN mouse cDNAs for novel ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins by extensive computational screening followed by recombinant expression and immunohistochemical characterization. We identified two novel olfactomedin-family proteins characterized by the presence of tandem CXCXCX9C motifs in the N-terminal region, a coiled-coil domain and an olfactomedin domain in the C-terminal region. These proteins, named photomedin-1 and photomedin-2, were secreted as disulphide-bonded dimers (photomedin-1) or oligomers/multimers (photomedin-2) with O-linked carbohydrate chains, although photomedin-1 was proteolytically processed in the middle of the molecule after secretion. In the retina, photomedin-1 was selectively expressed in the outer segment of photoreceptor cells and photomedin-2 was expressed in all retinal neurons. Among a panel of ECM components, including glycosaminoglycans, photomedins preferentially bound to chondroitin sulphate-E and heparin. These results, together, indicate that photomedins are novel olfactomedin-domain-containing extracellular proteins capable of binding to proteoglycans containing these glycosaminoglycan chains.

Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan Axonal Coats in the Human Mediodorsal Thalamic Nucleus.

Project description:Mounting evidence supports a key involvement of the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) NG2 and brevican (BCAN) in the regulation of axonal functions, including axon guidance, fasciculation, conductance, and myelination. Prior work suggested the possibility that these functions may, at least in part, be carried out by specialized CSPG structures surrounding axons, termed axonal coats. However, their existence remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that NG2 and BCAN, known to be associated with oligodendrocyte precursor cells, form axonal coats enveloping myelinated axons in the human brain. In tissue blocks containing the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) from healthy donors (n = 5), we used dual immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, and unbiased stereology to characterize BCAN and NG2 immunoreactive (IR) axonal coats and measure the percentage of myelinated axons associated with them. In a subset of donors (n = 3), we used electron microscopy to analyze the spatial relationship between axons and NG2- and BCAN-IR axonal coats within the human MD. Our results show that a substantial percentage (∼64%) of large and medium myelinated axons in the human MD are surrounded by NG2- and BCAN-IR axonal coats. Electron microscopy studies show NG2- and BCAN-IR axonal coats are interleaved with myelin sheets, with larger axons displaying greater association with axonal coats. These findings represent the first characterization of NG2 and BCAN axonal coats in the human brain. The large percentage of axons surrounded by CSPG coats, and the role of CSPGs in axonal guidance, fasciculation, conductance, and myelination suggest that these structures may contribute to several key axonal properties.
