In vitro Measurement of CMP-Sialic Acid Transporter Activity in Reconstituted Proteoliposomes

[Abstract]  Nucleotide-sugar transporters (NSTs) facilitate eukaryotic cellular glycosylation by transporting nucleotide-sugar conjugates into the Golgi lumen and endoplasmic reticulum for use by glycosyltransferases, while also transferring nucleotide monophosphate byproducts to the cytoplasm. Mutations in this family of proteins can cause a number of significant cellular pathologies, and wild type members can act as virulence factors for many parasites and fungi. Here, we describe an in vitro assay to measure the transport activity of the CMP-sialic acid transporter (CST), one of seven NSTs found in mammals. While in vitro transport assays have been previously described for CST, these studies failed to account for the fact that 1) commercially available stocks of CMP-sialic acid ... [摘要]  [ 摘要] 核苷酸糖转运蛋白(NST)通过将核苷酸糖结合物转运到高尔基腔和内质网供糖基转移酶使用,同时将核苷酸单磷酸副产物转移到细胞质中,从而促进了真核细胞的糖基化。该蛋白质家族的突变可引起许多重要的细胞病理,野生型成员可充当许多寄生虫和真菌的致病因子。在这里,我们描述了一种体外测定法,以测量CMP-唾液酸转运蛋白(CST)的转运活性,CMP-唾液酸转运蛋白(CST)是在哺乳动物中发现的七个NST之一。虽然在体外 以前已经针对CST进行了转运分析,但这些研究未能说明以下事实:1 )CMP- 唾液酸(CMP-Sia )的商业库存由约10%的高亲和力CMP组成,以及2)CMP- SIA 是水解d 到CMP和在水溶液中的唾液酸。在这里,我们描述了一种用非选择性磷酸酶南极磷酸酶治疗CMP-Sia的方法,以将所有游离CMP转化为胞苷。这使我们能够准确地测量重组为蛋白脂质体的纯化CST的底物亲和力和运输动力学。

[Abstract]  Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular matrix protein that is secreted by many cell types and binds predominantly to the cell surface receptor Integrin α5β1. Integrin α5β1 binding initiates the step-wise assembly of FN into fibrils, a process called fibrillogenesis. We and several others have demonstrated critical effects of fibrillogenesis on cell migration and metastasis. While immunostaining and microscopy methods help visualize FN incorporation into fibrils, with each fibril being at least 3 μm in length, the first study that developed a method to biochemically fractionate FN to quantify fibril incorporated FN was published by Jean Schwarzbauer’s group in 1996. Our protocol was adapted from the original publication, and has been tested on multiple cell types including as shown here in ... [摘要]  纤连蛋白(FN)是一种细胞外基质蛋白,由许多细胞类型分泌,主要与细胞表面受体整合素α5β1结合。整合素α5β1结合启动FN逐步组装成原纤维,这一过程称为原纤维形成。我们和其他几个人已经证明了原纤维形成对细胞迁移和转移的关键作用。虽然免疫染色和显微镜方法有助于可视化FN掺入原纤维,每个原纤维的长度至少为3μm,但是第一项研究开发了一种生物化学分离FN以量化原纤维并入FN的方法,由Jean Schwarzbauer小组于1996年出版。我们的方案改编自原始出版物,并已在多种细胞类型上进行测试,包括如此处所示的MCF10A乳腺上皮细胞和Caki-1肾癌上皮细胞。使用两种洗涤剂提取物,将细胞FN分离成不溶于洗涤剂或掺入原纤维的FN和可溶性FN或未掺入的级分。为了确定原纤维形成是否利用FN的再循环池,我们使用了生物素标记的FN(FN-生物素)再循环测定,其已经从先前的研究中修改。使用再循环测定和脱氧胆酸盐分离方法的组合,可以定量地证明在不同实验条件下细胞中原纤维形成的程度,并确定原纤维形成的FN来源

【背景】 纤连蛋白(FN)是普遍产生的细胞外基质(ECM)组分(Uitto et al。,1989; Mao和Schwarzbauer,2005)。纤连蛋白库是转录产生的,可以通过几种生长因子如TGF-β1增加(Yokoi et al。,2002; Mimura ...
