When fragments of 2 dissimilar embryonic tissues are placed in contact in organ culture, cells of one fragment migrate over the surface of the second to envelop it. Holtfreter proposed that this behaviour was in response to ‘tissue affinities’. He proposed that these also play important roles in the control of morphogenetic cell movement during development. The present study demonstrates that the heart fibroblast, present as a minority cell type in heart ventricle, can modify the affinity behaviour of heart tissue. The fibroblast effect appears to be mediated by a factor that can be extracted from living fibroblast monolayers by 1 M urea. The factor is a cell-surface protein since it is absent in monolayers which had been treated with trypsin prior to extraction.

Primary Mesenchyme Cells

In this report, we use a monoclonal antibody (B2C2) and antibodies against a fusion protein (Leaf et al. 1987) to characterize msp130, a cell surface protein specific to the primary mesenchyme cells of the sea urchin embryo. This protein first appears on the surface of these cells upon ingression into the blastocoel. Immunoelectronmicroscopy shows that msp130 is present in the trans side of the Golgi apparatus and on the extracellular surface of primary mesenchyme cells. Four precursor proteins to msp130 are identified and we show that B2C2 recognizes only the mature form of msp130. We demonstrate that msp130 contains N-linked carbohydrate groups and that the B2C2 epitope is sensitive to endoglycosidase F digestion. Evidence that msp130 is apparently a sulphated glycoprotein is presented. The recognition of the B2C2 epitope of msp130 is disrupted when embryos are cultured in sulphate-free sea water. In addition, two-dimensional immunoblots show that msp130 is an acidic protein that becomes substantially less acidic in the absence of sulphate. We also show that two other independently derived monoclonal antibodies, IG8 (McClay et al. 1983; McClay, Matranga & Wessel, 1985) and 1223 (Carson et al. 1985), recognize msp130, and suggest this protein to be a major cell surface antigen of primary mesenchyme cells.

Protein Classes

Cell-surface proteins are of great biomedical importance, as demonstrated by the fact that 66% of approved human drugs listed in the DrugBank database target a cell-surface protein. Despite this biomedical relevance, there has been no comprehensive assessment of the human surfaceome, and only a fraction of the predicted 5,000 human transmembrane proteins have been shown to be located at the plasma membrane. To enable analysis of the human surfaceome, we developed the surfaceome predictor SURFY, based on machine learning. As a training set, we used experimentally verified high-confidence cell-surface proteins from the Cell Surface Protein Atlas (CSPA) and trained a random forest classifier on 131 features per protein and, specifically, per topological domain. SURFY was used to predict a human surfaceome of 2,886 proteins with an accuracy of 93.5%, which shows excellent overlap with known cell-surface protein classes (i.e., receptors). In deposited mRNA data, we found that between 543 and 1,100 surfaceome genes were expressed in cancer cell lines and maximally 1,700 surfaceome genes were expressed in embryonic stem cells and derivative lines. Thus, the surfaceome diversity depends on cell type and appears to be more dynamic than the nonsurface proteome. To make the predicted surfaceome readily accessible to the research community, we provide visualization tools for intuitive interrogation (wlab.ethz.ch/surfaceome). The in silico surfaceome enables the filtering of data generated by multiomics screens and supports the elucidation of the surfaceome nanoscale organization.
