Band 3, a transmembrane protein that provides the anion channel of the erythrocyte plasma membrane, crosses the membrane more than once and has a large amino terminal segment exposes on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. The biosynthesis of band 3 and the process of its incorporation into membranes were studied in vivo in erythroid spleen cells of anemic mice and in vitro in protein synthesizing cell-free systems programmed with polysomes and messenger RNA (mRNA). In intact cells newly synthesized band 3 is rapidly incorporated into intracellular membranes where it is glycosylated and it is subsequently transferred to the plasma membrane where it becomes sensitive to digestion by exogenous chymotrypsin. The appearance of band 3 in the cell surface is not contingent upon its glycosylation because it proceeds efficiently in cells treated with tunicamycin. The site of synthesis of band 3 in bound polysomes was established directly by in vitro translation experiments with purified polysomes or with mRNA extracted from them. The band-3 polypeptide synthesized in an mRNA-dependent system had the same electrophoretic mobility as that synthesized in cells treated with tunicamycin. When microsomal membranes were present during translation, the in vitro synthesized band-3 polypeptide was cotranslationally glycosylated and inserted into the membranes. This was inferred from the facts that when synthesis was carried out in the presence of membranes the product had a lower electrophoretic mobility and showed partial resistance to protease digestion. Our observations indicate that the primary translation product of band-3 mRNA is not proteolytically processed either co- or posttranslationally. It is, therefore, proposed that the incorporation of band 3 into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane is initiated by a permanent insertion signal. To account for the cytoplasmic exposure of the amino terminus of the polypeptide we suggest that this signal is located within the interior of the polypeptide. a mechanism that explains the final transmembrane disposition of band 3 in the plasma membrane as resulting from the mode of its incorporation into the ER is presented.

Abstract Messenger RNA extracted from the erythroleukemic cell line K562 was translated in vitro and the translation products reacted with an antiserum raised against human erythrocyte ghosts. Polypeptides immunoprecipitated by the antiserum were characterized by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography. The antiserum immunoprecipitated polypeptides with nominal molecular weights of 37,000 (p37), 20,000 (p20), 19,000 (p19), 18,000 (p18), 14,000 (p14), 13,000 (p13), and 11,000 (p11) daltons. Since the antiserum was raised against antigenic determinants present on both the inner and outer surface of the red cell membrane, differential absorption of antiserum with intact red cells, or ghosts, was used to localize the translation products to the inner or outer membrane surface. Absorption was also used to determine if any of the immunoprecipitated translation products represented membrane markers for the erythroid lineage. Absorption of the antiserum with red cell ghosts removed all antibodies reacting with in vitro translation products. Absorption with intact cells from various lineages removed anti-p20 antibodies and did not absorb anti- p19 or anti-p18 antibodies. Absorption with intact cells from all lineages except mature erythrocytes absorbed anti-p37, anti-p14, and anti-p13 antibodies, suggesting that these antigens are expressed on the outer membrane surface. Mature erythrocytes were incapable of absorbing these antibody populations, suggesting a lineage-specific reorientation of these antigens in the membrane during erythropoiesis.

Amp Activated Protein Kinase

The c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) plays a role in inflammation, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell adhesion and cell migration by phosphorylating paxillin and β-catenin. JNK phosphorylation downstream of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation is required for high CO2(hypercapnia)-induced Na,K-ATPase endocytosis in alveolar epithelial cells. Here, we provide evidence that during hypercapnia, JNK promotes the phosphorylation of LMO7b, a scaffolding protein,in vitroand in intact cells. LMO7b phosphorylation was blocked by exposing the cells to the JNK inhibitor SP600125 and by infecting cells with dominant-negative JNK or AMPK adenovirus. The knockdown of the endogenous LMO7b or overexpression of mutated LMO7b with alanine substitutions of five potential JNK phosphorylation sites (LMO7b-5SA) or only Ser-1295 rescued both LMO7b phosphorylation and the hypercapnia-induced Na,K-ATPase endocytosis. Moreover, high CO2promoted the colocalization and interaction of LMO7b and the Na,K-ATPase α1subunit at the plasma membrane, which were prevented by SP600125 or by transfecting cells with LMO7b-5SA. Collectively, our data suggest that hypercapnia leads to JNK-induced LMO7b phosphorylation at Ser-1295, which facilitates the interaction of LMO7b with Na,K-ATPase at the plasma membrane promoting the endocytosis of Na,K-ATPase in alveolar epithelial cells.

Oxalate Transport

The brush border Cl−-oxalate exchanger SLC26A6 plays an essential role in mediating intestinal secretion of oxalate and is crucial for the maintenance of oxalate homeostasis and the prevention of hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Previous in vitro studies have suggested that SLC26A6 is heavily N-glycosylated. N-linked glycosylation is known to critically affect folding, trafficking, and function in a wide variety of integral membrane proteins and could therefore potentially have a critical impact on SLC26A6 function and subsequent oxalate homeostasis. Through a series of enzymatic deglycosylation studies we confirmed that endogenously expressed mouse and human SLC26A6 are indeed glycosylated, that the oligosaccharides are principally attached via N-glycosidic linkage, and that there are tissue-specific differences in glycosylation. In vitro cell culture experiments were then used to elucidate the functional significance of the addition of the carbohydrate moieties. Biotinylation studies of SLC26A6 glycosylation mutants indicated that glycosylation is not essential for cell surface delivery of SLC26A6 but suggested that it may affect the efficacy with which it is trafficked and maintained in the plasma membrane. Functional studies of transfected SLC26A6 demonstrated that glycosylation at two sites in the putative second extracellular loop of SLC26A6 is critically important for chloride-dependent oxalate transport and that enzymatic deglycosylation of SLC26A6 expressed on the plasma membrane of intact cells strongly reduced oxalate transport activity. Taken together, these studies indicated that oxalate transport function of SLC26A6 is critically dependent on glycosylation and that exoglycosidase-mediated deglycosylation of SLC26A6 has the capacity to profoundly modulate SLC26A6 function.

The Central Nervous System

The proto-oncogene int-1 is activated by adjacent insertions of proviral DNA in mouse mammary tumor virus-induced tumors and has transforming activity in certain mammary epithelial cell lines. The gene is normally expressed in the central nervous system of mid-gestational embryos and in the adult testis. We raised antibodies against synthetic int-1 peptides and used these to identify protein products of the gene in cells transfected or infected with retroviral vectors expressing int-1. Four protein species of 36,000, 38,000, 40,000, and 42,000 Mr were immunoprecipitated by antibodies against two different int-1 peptides and were not present in control cells. Partial degradation with V8 protease showed the four species to be structurally related to each other and to int-1 polypeptide synthesized in vitro. Treatment of the cells with tunicamycin prevented the appearance of all but the 36,000-Mr species, suggesting that the slower-migrating forms are glycosylated derivatives. The unglycosylated 36,000-Mr species migrated faster in polyacrylamide gels than the in vitro translation product of int-1 and has probably undergone cleavage of an amino-terminal signal peptide.

cDNAs for the murine lyn protein tyrosine kinase gene were cloned from mouse bone marrow-derived monocytic cells. Comparison of the human and murine genes demonstrated a 94% homology in peptide sequence. Comparable to the human gene, murine lyn was found to be expressed in myeloid and B-lymphoid lineage cells. During the cloning, two types of cDNAs were obtained that differed by the presence (lynA) or absence (lynB) of 63 bp within the amino-terminal coding region of the gene. The genomic structure of the murine lyn gene demonstrates that the two types of lyn transcripts are derived from alternative splicing utilizing an internal splice donor site. Transcripts for both forms were found to be expressed in myeloid cells. lyn-specific antisera detected comparable levels of proteins of 56 and 53 kDa in hematopoietic cells. these 56- and 53-kDa proteins comigrated with proteins produced by in vitro translation or in vivo expression of the lynA and lynB cDNAs, respectively. The two forms had comparable in vitro kinase activities in immunoprecipitates and showed similar peptide patterns, with partial V8 digestion of the in vitro-phosphorylated proteins. The potential significance of the two lyn proteins is discussed.
