A bovine epithelial membrane protein that binds polymeric immunoglobulin and has a structure related to that of bovine secretory component.

چکیده
A protein of Mr 94000 was isolated from detergent-solubilized bovine intestinal, liver and mammary-gland membranes. It binds immunoglobulin M and also undergoes proteolytic fragmentation in a similar manner to bovine secretory component (Mr 74000). The affinity-purified membrane protein is therefore most likely to be the bovine epithelial receptor for polymeric immunoglobulin. A structural model is proposed.

Fragmentation and reduction of bovine secretory component. Preparation of a biologically active fragment and some evidence for a multiple-domain structure.
A tryptic fragment (A) of Mr 25000 was prepared from bovine secretory component. The fragment binds polymeric immunoglobulin, although 9 times less effectively than secretory component on a molar basis. The fragment has four buried half-cystine residues and two exposed half-cystine residues. It gives rise to two fragments of Mr 11000-13000 on prolonged digestion with trypsin, and these do not b...
متن کاملInteraction of primary mammary bovine epithelial cells with biofilm-forming staphylococci associated with subclinical bovine mastitis
Background: Staphylococci are recognized worldwide as one of the most important etiological agents of bovine mastitis due to their virulence factors such as their ability to penetrate inside mammary epithelial cells and their ability to form biofilm. Aims: The objectives of this study were to establish a model of primary mammary epithelial cells origin...
متن کاملFunctional expression of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor from cloned cDNA in fibroblasts
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, a transmembrane protein, is made by a variety of polarized epithelial cells. After synthesis, the receptor is sent to the basolateral surface where it binds polymeric IgA and IgM. The receptor-ligand complex is endocytosed, transported across the cell in vesicles, and re-exocytosed at the apical surface. At some point the receptor is proteolytically cleave...
متن کاملThe polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (secretory component) mediates transport of immune complexes across epithelial cells: a local defense function for IgA.
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) on mucosal epithelial cells binds dimeric IgA (dIgA) on the basolateral surface and mediates transport of dIgA to the apical surface. Using Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells stably transfected with pIgR cDNA, we found that soluble immune complexes (ICs) of 125I-labeled rat monoclonal antidinitrophenyl (DNP) dIgA (125I-dIgA) and DNP/biotin-bo...

A polypropylene microporous membrane (PPMM) was fabricated by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method. The effects of protein size and structure as well as filtration pressure on the membrane performance and fouling mechanisms were investigated using two different proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and collagen, in dead-end filtration setup. Obtained results showed that, for each pro...
