Uroplakin I: a 27-kD protein associated with the asymmetric unit membrane of mammalian urothelium
The luminal surface of mammalian urothelium is covered with numerous plaques (also known as the asymmetric unit membrane or AUM) composed of semi-crystalline, hexagonal arrays of 12-nm protein particles. Despite the presumed importance of these plaques in stabilizing the urothelial surface during bladder distention, relatively little is known about their protein composition. Using a mouse mAb, ...
متن کاملPrecursor sequence, processing, and urothelium-specific expression of a major 15-kDa protein subunit of asymmetric unit membrane.
The asymmetric unit membrane (AUM) is a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. It contains quasi-crystalline arrays of 12-nm protein particles each of which is composed of six dumbbell-shaped subdomains. In this paper we describe the precursor sequence, processing and in vitro membrane insertion properties of bovine uroplakin II (UPII), a 15-kDa...
متن کاملIntegrin-associated protein: a 50-kD plasma membrane antigen physically and functionally associated with integrins
Phagocytosis by monocytes or neutrophils can be enhanced by interaction with several proteins or synthetic peptides containing the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence. Recently we showed that an mAb, B6H12, specifically inhibited this enhancement of neutrophil phagocytosis by inhibiting Arg-Gly-Asp binding to the leukocyte response integrin (Gresham, H. D., J. L. Goodwin, P. M. Allen, D. C. Anderson, and E. J...

متن کاملColistin interactions with the mammalian urothelium.
Here we describe the effect of colistin on the barrier function of the mammalian urinary bladder epithelium. Addition of colistin to the mucosal solution of the rabbit urinary bladder epithelium (urothelium) resulted in an increase in the transepithelial conductance. The magnitude of the increase in transepithelial conductance was dependent on the membrane voltage, concentration of colistin, an...
