Site of palmitoylation of a phospholipase C-resistant glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane anchor.
نویسنده
چکیده
The site of palmitoylation of the phosphatidylinositol moiety of the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol membrane anchor of Trypanosoma brucei procyclic acidic repetitive protein was studied by using periodate oxidation. Analysis of the products by g.c.-m.s. allowed the assignment of 40 and 60% of the palmitate to the 2-position and the 3-position respectively of the myo-inositol ring.

Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored human placental alkaline phosphatase: evidence for a phospholipase C-sensitive precursor and its post-attachment conversion into a phospholipase C-resistant form.
Previous studies have shown that some cells (e.g. SKG3a) express human placental alkaline phosphatase (AP) in a form which can be released from the membrane by bacterial PtdIns-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) while others (e.g. HeLa) are relatively resistant to this enzyme. Chemical and enzymic degradation studies have suggested that the PI-PLC resistance of AP is due to inositol acylation of...
متن کاملRelease of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored enzyme ecto-5'-nucleotidase by phospholipase C: catalytic activation and modulation by the lipid bilayer.
Many hydrolytic enzymes are attached to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Little is currently known about the consequences for enzyme function of anchor cleavage by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. We have examined this question for the GPI-anchored protein 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohyd...
متن کاملDevelopmental Variation of Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Membrane Anchors in Trypanosoma brucei
The major surface antigen of the mammalian bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei, the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG), is attached to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. The VSG anchor is susceptible to phosphatidylinositolspecific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). Candidate precursor glycolipids, P2 and P3, which are PI-PLC-sensitive and -resistant respectively, have ...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: the Tc-85 surface glycoprotein shed by trypomastigotes bears a modified glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor.
Tc-85, an 85-kDa surface glycoprotein specific for the trypomastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi, has been implicated in the invasion of host cells by the parasite. Radioactive palmitic acid was incorporated into Tc-85 immunoprecipitated from the culture medium with the H1A10 monoclonal antibody, suggesting that shedding occurs with Tc-85 bearing its GPI anchor. In contrast to the glycoprotein ...
متن کاملCleavage of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor affects the reactivity of thy-1 with antibodies.
Thy-1 protein, a member of the Ig superfamily, is bound to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. We demonstrate that following anchor cleavage by phospholipase C, the reactivity of the solubilized Thy-1 with several mAbs is lost, and its reactivity with polyclonal anti-Thy-1 Abs is markedly decreased. Hence, solubilized Thy-1 cannot be detected by a range of mAbs. In...
