AbstractA subset of coxsackieviruses B (CV-B) is able to initiate intestinal infection via the attachment to two cell surface proteins, decayaccelerating factor (DAF) and coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR). The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression pattern of these receptors in the polarized CaCo-2 cell line using flow cytometry. The expression of CAR-specific mRNA and proteins was analyzed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Flow cytometry analysis was used to study the surface expression patterns of CAR and DAF. CAR and DAF were well detected at the surface of CaCo-2 cells by flow cytometry. Despite the fact that CAR was susceptible to the action of trypsin, a few amounts of the latter enzyme and a precise dilution did not impair its correct detection by flow cytometry. This technique was used to demonstrate that the density of cells did not influence the expression of CAR at the cell surface. CaCo-2 cells express high levels of CAR and DAF at their surface. Flow cytometry, if used adequately, represents a helpful tool for the study of the interactions between these cells and various viral targets.

Glycoconjugates on the surface of zoospores and cysts of the pathogenic fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi have been studied using fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled lectins for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, and ferritin- and gold-labelled lectins for ultrastructural analysis. Of the five lectins used, only concanavalin A (ConA) binds to the surface of the zoospores, including the flagella and water expulsion vacuole. This suggests that of accessible saccharides, glucosyl or mannosyl residues predominate on the outer surface of the zoospore plasma membrane. Early in encystment, a system of flat disc-like cisternae, which underlie the zoospore plasma membrane, vesiculate. These and other small peripheral vesicles quickly disappear. After the induction of encystment, ConA is no longer localised close to the plasma membrane but binds to material loosely associated with the cell surface. Quantitative measurements by flow cytometry indicate that the ConA-binding material is gradually lost from the cell surface. The cyst wall is weakly labelled, but the site of germ tube emergence stains intensely. During the first 2 min after the induction of encystment, material that binds soybean agglutinin, Helix pommatia agglutinin, and peanut agglutinin appears on the surface of the fungal cells. The distribution of this material, rich in galactosyl or N-acetyl-D-galactosaminosyl residues, is initially patchy, but by 5 min the material evenly coats most of the cell surface. Labelling of zoospores in which intracellular sites are accessible indicates that the soybean agglutinin binding material is stored in vesicles that lie beneath the plasma membrane. Quantitation of soybean agglutinin labelling shows that maximum binding occurs 2–3 min after the induction of encystment. Key words: cell surface, flow cytometry, lectins, pathogenic fungi, Phytophthora cinnamomi.

Recent studies indicate that there may be functional uncoupling of the TCR-CD3 complex and suggest that the TCR-CD3 complex is composed of two parallel signal-transducing units, one made of gamma delta epsilon chains and the other of zeta chains. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that may explain the functional uncoupling of TCR and CD3, we have analyzed their expression by using flow cytometry as well as immunochemical means both before and after stimulation with anti-TCR-beta, anti-CD3 epsilon, anti-CD2, staphylococcal enterotoxin B, and ionomycin. We present evidence that TCR physically dissociates from CD3 after stimulation of the TCR-CD3 complex. Stimulation with anti-CD3 resulted in down-modulation of TCR within 45 min whereas CD3 epsilon was still expressed on the cell surface as detected by flow cytometry. However, the cell surface expression of TCR and CD3 was not affected when cells were stimulated with anti-TCR-beta under the same conditions. In the case of anti-CD3 treatment of T cells, the TCR down-modulation appeared to be due to the internalization of TCR, as determined by immunoelectron microscopy. Immunochemical analysis of cells after stimulation with either anti-TCR or anti-CD3 mAbs revealed that the overall protein levels of TCR and CD3 were similar. More interestingly, the dissociation of the TCR-CD3 complex was observed with both treatments and occurred in a manner that the TCR and the associated TCR-zeta chain dissociated as a unit from CD3. These results provide the first report of physical dissociation of TCR and CD3 after stimulation through the TCR-CD3 complex. The results also suggest that the signal transduction pathway triggered by TCR may differ from that induced by CD3.

Neutrophils and subsets of lymphocytes bind to E-selectin, a cytokine inducible adhesion molecule on endothelial cells. The E-selectin-ligand-1 (ESL-1) is a high affinity glycoprotein ligand which participates in the binding of mouse myeloid cells to E-selectin. The sequence of mouse ESL-1 is highly homologous to the cysteine rich FGF receptor (CFR) in chicken and the rat Golgi protein MG160. We have analysed the subcellular distribution of ESL-1 by indirect immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, various biochemical techniques and by immunogold scanning electron microscopy. We could localize ESL-1 in the Golgi as well as on the cell surface of 32Dc13 cells and neutrophils. Cell surface staining was confirmed by cell surface biotinylation and by cell surface immunoprecipitations in which antibodies only had access to surface proteins on intact cells. In addition, ESL-1(high) and ESL-1(low) expressing cells, sorted by flow cytometry, gave rise to high and low immunoprecipitation signals for ESL-1, respectively. Based on immunogold labeling of intact cells, we localized ESL-1 on microvilli of 32Dc13 cells and of the lymphoma cell line K46. Quantitative evaluation determined 80% of the total labeling for ESL-1 on microvilli of K46 cells while 69% of the labeling for the control antigen B220 was found on the planar cell surface. These data indicate that ESL-1 occurs at sites on the leukocyte cell surface which are destined for the initiation of cell contacts to the endothelium.

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is used as a membrane anchor by many eukaryotic cell-surface proteins. The second step of GPI biosynthesis is de-N-acetylation of N-acetylglucosaminylphosphatidylinositol (GlcNAc-PI). We have previously cloned the rat PIG-L gene by expression cloning that complemented a mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line defective in this step. Here we show that recombinant rat PIG-L protein purified from Escherichia coli as a complex with GroEL has GlcNAc-PI de-N-acetylase activity in vitro. The activity was not enhanced by GTP, which is known to enhance the de-N-acetylase activity of mammalian cell microsomes. As with other de-N-acetylases that act on the GlcNAc moiety, metal ions, in particular Mn2+ and Ni2+, enhanced the enzyme activity of PIG-L. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae YMR281W open reading frame encodes a protein (termed Gpi12p) with 24% amino acid identity with rat PIG-L. On transfection into mammalian PIG-L-deficient cells, this gene, GPI12, restored the cell-surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins and GlcNAc-PI de-N-acetylase activity. The disruption of the gene caused lethality in S. cerevisiae. These results indicate that GlcNAc-PI de-N-acetylase is conserved between mammals and yeasts and that the de-N-acetylation step is also indispensable in yeasts.

The AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR) is a homotetrameric or heterotetrameric ion channel composed of various combinations of four subunits (GluA1–4), and its abundance in the synapse determines the strength of synaptic activity. The formation of oligomers in the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) is crucial for AMPAR subunits’ ER-exit and translocation to the cell membrane. Although N-glycosylation on different AMPAR subunits has been shown to regulate the ER-exit of hetero-oligomers, its role in the ER-exit of homo-oligomers remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of N-glycans at GluA1N63/N363 and GluA2N370 in ER-exit under the homo-oligomeric expression conditions, whose mutants are known to show low cell surface expressions. In contrast to the N-glycosylation site mutant GluA1N63Q, the cell surface expression levels of GluA1N363Q and GluA2N370Q increased in a time-dependent manner. Unlike wild-type (WT) GluA1, GluA2WT rescued surface GluA2N370Q expression. Additionally, the expression of GluA1N63Q reduced the cell surface expression level of GluA1WT. In conclusion, our findings suggest that these N-glycans have distinct roles in the ER-exit of GluA1 and GluA2 homo-oligomers; N-glycan at GluA1N63 is a prerequisite for GluA1 ER-exit, whereas N-glycans at GluA1N363 and GluA2N370 control the ER-exit rate.

The purpose of the current studies was to characterize the endogenous alpha 2-adrenergic receptor (AR) subtypes present in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and to determine their level of expression and pattern of distribution. By saturation binding analysis with [3H]MK-912, MDCK cells expressed high levels of alpha 2-ARs with a maximum receptor density (Bmax) of 798 +/- 55 fmol/mg protein and an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.98 +/- 0.32 nM. Competitive binding studies using prazosin, oxymetazoline, phentolamine, and epinephrine to displace [3H]MK-912 demonstrated inhibition constant (Ki) values of 1,270 +/- 250, 5.0 +/- 0.4, 5.5 +/- 0.3, and 392 +/- 150 nM (n = 3), respectively. In Northern blot analysis we found that MDCK cells expressed transcripts encoding alpha 2A-AR and not alpha 2B-AR or alpha 2C-AR. Surface binding experiments suggested that approximately 60% of alpha 2A-ARs are distributed at the cell surface domain. Specific binding of [3H]MK-912 to soluble apical and basolateral surface proteins isolated by surface biotinylation indicated the expression of surface alpha 2A-ARs was limited to the apical domain of MDCK cells. No alpha 2A-ARs were detected on the basolateral surface. We conclude that endogenous alpha 2A-ARs are targeted to the apical domain of MDCK cells and that the intracellular compartment may contain ARs as a reservoir for de novo cell surface expression or, alternatively, may represent internalized receptors.

ObjectiveTo characterize all 4 mutations described for CD59 congenital deficiency.MethodsThe 4 mutations, p.Cys64Tyr, p.Asp24Val, p.Asp24Valfs*, and p.Ala16Alafs*, were described in 13 individuals with CD59 malfunction. All 13 presented with recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, recurrent strokes, and chronic hemolysis. Here, we track the molecular consequences of the 4 mutations and their effects on CD59 expression, localization, glycosylation, degradation, secretion, and function. Mutants were cloned and inserted into plasmids to analyze their expression, localization, and functionality.ResultsImmunolabeling of myc-tagged wild-type (WT) and mutant CD59 proteins revealed cell surface expression of p.Cys64Tyr and p.Asp24Val detected with the myc antibody, but no labeling by anti-CD59 antibodies. In contrast, frameshift mutants p.Asp24Valfs* and p.Ala16Alafs* were detected only intracellularly and did not reach the cell surface. Western blot analysis showed normal glycosylation but mutant-specific secretion patterns. All mutants significantly increased MAC-dependent cell lysis compared with WT. In contrast to CD59 knockout mice previously used to characterize phenotypic effects of CD59 perturbation, all 4 hCD59 mutations generate CD59 proteins that are expressed and may function intracellularly (4) or on the cell membrane (2). None of the 4 CD59 mutants are detected by known anti-CD59 antibodies, including the 2 variants present on the cell membrane. None of the 4 inhibits membrane attack complex (MAC) formation.ConclusionsAll 4 mutants generate nonfunctional CD59, 2 are expressed as cell surface proteins that may function in non–MAC-related interactions and 2 are expressed only intracellularly. Distinct secretion of soluble CD59 may have also a role in disease pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Leukotoxin (Lkt) secreted by Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica is an RTX toxin which is specific for ruminant leukocytes. Lkt binds to β2 integrins on the surface of bovine leukocytes. β2 integrins have a common β subunit, CD18, that associates with three distinct α chains, CD11a, CD11b, and CD11c, to give rise to three different β2 integrins, CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1), CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1), and CD11c/CD18 (CR4), respectively. Our earlier studies revealed that Lkt binds to all three β2 integrins, suggesting that the common β subunit, CD18, may be the receptor for Lkt. In order to unequivocally elucidate the role of bovine CD18 as a receptor for Lkt, a murine cell line nonsusceptible to Lkt (P815) was transfected with cDNA for bovine CD18. One of the transfectants, 2B2, stably expressed bovine CD18 on the cell surface. The 2B2 transfectant was effectively lysed by Lkt in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas the P815 parent cells were not. Immunoprecipitation of cell surface proteins of 2B2 with monoclonal antibodies specific for bovine CD18 or murine CD11a suggested that bovine CD18 was expressed on the cell surface of 2B2 as a heterodimer with murine CD11a. Expression of bovine CD18 and the Lkt-induced cytotoxicity of 2B2 cells were compared with those of bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophils and lymphocytes. There was a strong correlation between cell surface expression of bovine CD18 and percent cytotoxicity induced by Lkt. These results indicate that bovine CD18 is necessary and sufficient to mediate Lkt-induced cytolysis of target cells.
