Biosynthesis of intestinal microvillar proteins

چکیده
The post-translational processing of pig small-intestinal aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) was studied in organ-cultured mucosal explants. Exposure of the explants to swainsonine, an inhibitor of Golgi mannosidase II, resulted in the formation of a M,-160000 polypeptide, still sensitive to endo-ffi-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Swainsonine caused only a moderate inhibition of transport of the enzyme through the Golgi complex and the subsequent expression in the microvillar membrane. This may imply that the trimming of the high-mannose core and complex glycosylation of N-linked oligosaccharides is not essential for the transport of aminopeptidase N to its final destination. A different type of processing was observed to take place in the presence of swainsonine, resulting in a considerable increase in apparent Mr (from 140000 to 160000). This processing could not be ascribed to N-linked glycosylation, since treatment of the Mr-160000 polypeptide with endo-J,-N-acetylglucosaminidase H only decreased its apparent Mr by 15 000. The susceptibility of the mature Mr-166 000 polypeptide, but not the Mr-140000 polypeptide, to mild alkaline hydrolysis suggests that aminopeptidase N becomes glycosylated with 0-linked oligosaccharides during its passage through the Golgi complex. Aminopeptidase N was not labelled by [3Hlpalmitic acid, indicating that the processing of the enzyme does not include acylation.

Effects of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli on microvillar membrane proteins during organ culture of rabbit intestinal mucosa.
This study examines the effects of an enteropathogenic Escherichia coli on microvillar membrane proteins during organ culture of rabbit ileal explants. Explants maintained with enteropathogenic E coli showed brush border effacement affecting approximately 50% of enterocytes, and where enteropathogenic E coli were closely adherent to the enterocyte surface microvilli were apparently being shed a...
متن کاملA new role for the architecture of microvillar actin bundles in apical retention of membrane proteins
Actin-bundling proteins are identified as key players in the morphogenesis of thin membrane protrusions. Until now, functional redundancy among the actin-bundling proteins villin, espin, and plastin-1 has prevented definitive conclusions regarding their role in intestinal microvilli. We report that triple knockout mice lacking these microvillar actin-bundling proteins suffer from growth delay b...

متن کاملRotavirus infection induces an increase in intracellular calcium concentration in human intestinal epithelial cells: role in microvillar actin alteration.
Rotaviruses, which infect mature enterocytes of the small intestine, are recognized as the most important cause of viral gastroenteritis in young children. We have previously reported that rotavirus infection induces microvillar F-actin disassembly in human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells (N. Jourdan, J. P. Brunet, C. Sapin, A. Blais, J. Cotte-Laffitte, F. Forestier, A. M. Quero, G. Trugnan,...
