MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF P2B/LAMP-I

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Isolation of P2B Xgtll Clones. A murine B-eell leukemia cDNAexpression library in Xgtll (16), cell line 7OZ/3 (17) (gift of AndreBernards), was grown on Escherichia coli Y1090 and screened withpolyclonal antiserum raised against purified P2B. The rabbit anti-mouse P2B polyclonal antiserum was prepared against gel-purified P2Bas described (14). Approximately 1 x 10s plaques were plated in LBagarose and incubated at 42°Cfor 4 h. The plates were then overlaid

with nitrocellulose filters (BioRad) previously wetted in 10 mM isopro-pylthiogalactoside (Boehringer Mannheim) and incubated at 37°Cfor

2 h. The filters were washed in TBS and subsequently blocked with20% fetal calf serum in TBS for 30 min. The filters were then incubatedovernight with a 1:500 dilution of polyclonal anti-P2B antiserum thathad previously been absorbed twice with nitrocellulose filters dipped inE. coli lysate Y1090. An affinity-purified goat anti-mouse, alkalinephosphatase-conjugated, IgG detection system was used (BioRad) toidentify antibody binding recombinant phage. Positive phage recombinants were plaque purified (18). The DNA was isolated using a mini-lysate technique (19) and digested with EcoR\ in order to determinethe size and to subclone the cDNA inserts.

Western Analysis. Affinity-purified antibodies specific for putativeclones were prepared using the following method. Phage were platedin LB agarose and grown to confluency in the manner previouslydescribed. Following an overnight incubation with a 1:500 dilution ofanti-P2B polyclonal antiserum, the filters were washed in 3 changes ofTBS plus 1% Nonidet P-40 for 1 h each. Following the removal ofnonspecific antibodies, the filters were incubated in 0.2 M glycine:0.5M NaCI (pH 2.8) for 10 min at 4°C.The solution now containing clone-

specific antibodies was immediately neutralized with l M Tris-HCl (pH7.4), and fetal calf serum was added to a final concentration of 20%.

Purified P2B separated by a 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryl-amide gel was transferred electrophoretically onto nitrocellulose in a25 mM Tris-HCl:0.2 M glycine:20% methanol buffer overnight at 4°C.

Following transfer the sheet was blocked with 20% fetal calf serum inTBS. The clone-specific purified antibodies were used to challenge theblot. A negative control of clone-specific antibodies to a putativetyrosine kinase, phage recombinant, was also made. The filters wereincubated with the undiluted antibody solution overnight, and thealkaline detection system (BioRad) was used to detect affinity-purifiedantibodies bound to P2B.

For glycosidase digestion, samples of purified P2B were dissolved in10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5): 150 mM NaCl:0.4% deoxycholate:l% TritonX-100 for digestions with 1 unit of glycopeptidase F (BoehringerMannheim) overnight at 37°C.Digestions of P2B with endo-/3-galac-tosidase (Miles) were performed overnight at 37°Cin 10 mM Tris-HCl

(pH 7.5): 150 mM NaCl:l% Triton X-100:50 mM sodium acetate (pH5.5):5 inillinnil-, of enzyme.

Subcloning and Sequencing. Four putative positive clones identifiedin the Western experiment were subcloned in the EcoRl site ofpBluescript KS (Stratagene Cloning Systems, La Jolla, California).Deletion clones were constructed using the £jtoIII/Mung Bean nucleasedeletion system (Stratagene Cloning Systems). Relevant fragments ofthe cDNA, not covered by the deletions, were subcloned to facilitatethe sequencing of the full 2147 base pairs of the clone. Single-strandedDNA was isolated and sequenced according to the Sanger dideoxymethod (20) and the enzyme Sequenase (United States Biochemical).Areas of sequence overlap between subclones were at least 50 base pairsin length. Both strands of the DNA were sequenced in segments of thecDNA that were novel. Sequence analysis was performed with softwarefrom the Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin (21).

Northern Analysis. Total RNA was isolated from MDAY-D2 andD36W25 using the isothiocyanate/guanidinium method (22). TissueRNA was isolated using the method of Chomczynski and Sacchi (23).RNA isolated from the cell lines SP1, SPl-T24rasl, SP1-A3 (calciumionophore treated), SP1-T1 (TPA treated), and SP1-M1 (calcium io-nophore plus TPA treated) was obtained from Dr. Korczack. RNAisolated from rat2-neo, rat2-neo/T24ras, and rat2-neo/T24ras/c-mycwas obtained from Dr. Brietman. Total RNA was electrophoresedthrough a formaldehyde-agarose gel and transferred overnight (22) ontoa Zeta Probe membrane (BioRad) in 50 mM NaOH. A riboprobe

(Promega) or random primed probe (Boehringer Mannheim) constituting a portion of the cDNA, excluding the polyadenylate tail, was usedto probe the membrane.

Immunofluorescent Localization. Rat2 cells were grown on glasscoverslips for 48 h, washed with PBS, and were fixed and permeabilizedwith ice-cold acetone for 3 to 5 min. The coverslips were air dried andadded to a solution of PBS/0.1 % BSA containing either a 1/10 dilutionof rat anti-P2B monoclonal antibody, a 1/200 dilution of rabbit anti-P2B polyclonal antiserum, or 2 ng/ml of L-PHA for 1 h at 20°C.Inthe case of L-PHA staining, the coverslips were washed 3 times, 5 mineach in PBS/0.1% BSA, and incubated for an additional 1 h in a 1/500dilution of rabbit anti-L-PHA. The coverslips were washed 3 times, 5min each, with PBS/0.1% BSA and then incubated for another hourwith either a 1/100 dilution of goat anti-rat fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG (Sigma) or 1/100 dilution of goat anti-rabbit fluoresceinisothiocyanate-conjugated IgG (Sigma).

Stained, nonpermeabilized rat2 cells were first grown on glass cover-slips for 48 h as above. Cells were washed twice with PBS and incubatedwith shaking for 45 min in 1% gluteraldehyde:PBS:0.1% BSA. Following removal of this solution, the cells were incubated twice, for 4 mineach, in 0.5 mg/ml of sodium borohydride. The coverslips were airdried and incubated with the anti-P2B polyclonal antiserum as outlinedabove.

RESULTS

Isolation of P2B cDNA. Since the rabbit anti-P2B antiserumraised against the native glycoprotein, reacted with glycopeptidase F-treated P2B in Western blots (i.e., deglycosylated) (14),it appeared to be suitable for screening an expression library inE. coli. A Xgtl 1 cDNA expression library, prepared from pre-B-cell line 7OZ/3 (16), was screened with the antiserum, andof the approximately 4x10" plaques that were plated, fourputative positive clones were detected. Since MDAY-D2 is alymphoreticular cell line (24), an expression library of the samecell lineage was used. The size of the EcoRl inserts in the uniquecloning site of Xgtl 1, from the positive plaques, was determinedby agarose gel electrophoresis to be on the order of 2.1 kilobases(data not shown). The size of these inserts was approximatelytwice that required to code for the M, 39,000 to 40,000 proteincore of P2B.

The antigenic relationship between the proteins produced bythe selected Xgtl 1 clones and purified P2B was confirmed priorto sequencing the inserts. Affinity-purified antibodies, specificto each of the recombinant phage clones, were isolated. Theseantibody preparations were then tested for their reactivity withpurified P2B in its natural state, lacking polylactosamine antennae, and devoid of ASM-linked oligosaccharides, throughWestern analysis (Fig. 1). All four affinity-purified antibodypreparations bound to native, endo-0-galactosidase, and glycopeptidase F-treated P2B in Western blots. The signal producedincreased as the carbohydrate content of the glycoprotein decreased. This is not surprising, since the recombinant phageproduct, synthesized in a bacterial environment, is not glyco-sylated. As a result, the affinity-purified antibodies were selectedfor specificities reactive against protein epitopes only. Glycosidase digestion of P2B also reduced size heterogeneity, resultingin concentration on the Western blot and thereby contributingto the increased signal. The remaining three positive clonesgave similar results (data not shown). Affinity-purified antibodies selected from the same stock of polyclonal antiserum usinga clone with an unrelated insert, showed only a weak signalwith purified, glycopeptidase F-treated P2B and no signal withP2B in its native, glycosylated state.

clones was subcloned into pBluescript KS and sequenced (Fig.2). The cDNA is 2147 base pairs in length, of which 112 basepairs represent a 5' untranslated region, 1215 nucleotides en

code a protein of 405 amino acids, and 819 base pairs aresituated in the 3' untranslated region. The entire coding sequence is identical to murine LAMP-1 with the exception ofthe first 69 nucleotides representing the amino-terminal 23amino acids. Within this region is encoded the initiator methi-onine and, as expected for an integral membrane glycoprotein,a hydrophobic leader sequence. The composition of the leaderis in accordance with the observed elements contained withinknown leaders (25). There is a basic TV-terminal region, containing two Arg residues, followed by a hydrophobic centralcore consisting of five Leu residues, and following this, a morepolar C-terminal region. The site of cleavage follows the "(-3,-l)-rule" to yield leucine as the first amino acid in the mature

glycoprotein (26).The mature polypeptide deduced from the cDNA sequence

is 382 amino acids, with a predicted molecular weight of 4 1,978.This is in agreement with the size of P2B/LAMP-1 treatedwith glycopeptidase F to produce a core polypeptide with amolecular weight of 39,000 to 40,000 (14). Two halves of thepolypeptide are separated by a putative hinge region rich inproline, Serine, and threonine residues. Contained within eachhalf is an abundance of ASM-linked glycosylation sites (Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X-Thr), 10 per half. A sequence comparison of

this glycoprotein across four species —¿�mouse, rat (27), human

(28), and chicken (29) —¿�reveals that 11 ASM-linked glycosyla-tion sites are conserved in any three species within a spacing of2 amino acids (Fig. 3). Furthermore seven of these sites areabsolutely conserved in position and spacing across all four

the conserved sequence, present in any of the other threespecies, are substitutions maintaining the hydrophobic natureof this segment.

Particular segments of the P2B/LAMP-1 protein sequence,possessing no known biological significance, are strongly conserved across all four species (Fig. 3). Notably, the cytoplasmicdomain following the anchor, representing the final 11 residuesat the C-terminus of the glycoprotein, is absolutely conservedacross all four species. In addition, an 80% amino acid similarity exists over a span of 24 residues following the putative hingeregion. Other well-conserved pockets of amino acids, shorter inlength, also exist in the amino and carboxy portions of thepolypeptide.

Contained within the 3' untranslated region is the polyaden-

ylate addition site 19 nucleotides upstream from the additionof the polyadenylate tail. In addition, sequences present in thiscDNA of LAMP-1, in the 3' untranslated region, differ from

that published recently (31). There is a 50-base pair insertionat residue 1422 (Fig. 2) containing a Sad restriction enzymesite, present also in the human and rat homologues, which isnot found in the LAMP-1 cDNA published by Chen et al. (31).Furthermore, there are 1- and 2-base pair insertions, deletions,and substitutions directly downstream of the 50-base pair insertion. These differences are likely the result of a polymorphism between mouse strains used to generate the respectivelibraries. Apart from these differences, this region is identical

to that found by Chen et al. (31).Northern Analysis. P2B/LAMP-1 has previously been de

tected by Western blotting in the lung, liver, brain, kidney,spleen, intestine, and heart (14). Northern analysis showedhigher levels of P2B/LAMP-1 mRNA in the testes, kidney,liver, and intestine; intermediate levels in the spleen; and lowerlevels in the brain and salivary gland (Fig. 4B). Acquisition ofmetastatic potential is associated with increased branching ofoligosaccharides on P2B/LAMP-1, while the level of the glycoprotein does not appear to be altered. To confirm the latter,Northern analysis was performed to compare P2B/LAMP-1message levels in metastatic and nonmetastatic paired cell lines.As seen in Fig. 4A, the levels of the transcript in MDAY-D2(24) and of its nonmetastatic, Class I glycosylation mutantD36W25 (32) are equal with an approximate message size of2.2 kilobases. This is consistent with Western analyses performed previously, which showed similar P2B protein levels inthese cell lines (14). Similarly, P2B/LAMP-1 message in thetumorigenic but nonmetastatic mammary carcinoma cell lineSP1, and its metastatic, activated H-ros-bearing counterpartSPl-T24rail, revealed no difference in expression (Fig. 4C).Clonal sublines of SP1 which have acquired a stable metastaticcapability following treatment with calcium ionophore, TP A,or both show no increase in P2B/LAMP-1 mRNA levels relative to SP1 (Fig. 4C). However, P2B/LAMP-1 mRNA levelsin the nontumorigenic cell line rat2-neo appeared to be greaterthan that found in the tumorigenic transfectants rat2-T24rasand rat2-T24ras/c-wj'c (Fig. 4D). This cross-species Northernrevealed a decrease in P2B/LAMP-1 message levels in rat2fibroblast cells expressing activated H-ras, and a further decrease in cell lines expressing H-ras and c-myc constitutively.Both the metastatic sublines of SP1 and the tumorigenic transfectants of rat2 have been previously shown to express increased£fl-6branched oligosaccharides on P2B/LAMP-1.

Immunofluorescent Localization. Immunofluorescent localization of P2B/LAMP-1 was performed on subconfluent cultures of rat2 fibroblast cells using polyclonal or monoclonalanti-P2B/LAMP-l antibodies followed by fluoresceinated goatanti-rat or rabbit IgG. The antiserum reacted with vesiclessurrounding the nucleus producing a pattern indicative of ly-sosomal staining (Fig. 5, A and B) and identical to that previously reported for monoclonal anti-LAMP-1 staining in NIH3T3 cells (33). Permeabilized rat2 cells stained with L-PHA, alectin specific for 01-6 branched lactosamine-containing oligosaccharides, show a very similar pattern of perinuclear stainingconsistent with colocalization of P2B/LAMP-1 and the majority of cellular, branched ASM-linked oligosaccharides (Fig. 5C).P2B/LAMP-1 was also expressed on the surface of some, butnot all, rat 2 fibroblast cells. This was confirmed by stainingnonpermeabilized cells which displayed reactivity at surfaceswhich appeared to be retracting edges of motile cells (Fig. 5D).

DISCUSSION

The relationship between expression of 01-6 branched oligosaccharides and metastatic potential (10), as well as theobservation that a large proportion of these structures wereassociated with P2B (gpl30), prompted us to isolate and characterize this glycoprotein (14, 15). Rabbit polyclonal antiserumraised against P2B, purified from metastatic MDAY-D2 cells,was used to screen a Xgtll cDNA expression library. Fourphage bearing identical 2.1-kilobase cDNA inserts were isolated, and their antigenic similarity to purified P2B was confirmed. Sequencing of one of the clones (Fig. 2) revealed an

open reading frame identical to that recently reported for murine LAMP-1 glycoprotein (34).

We previously reported the amino acid sequence of the N-terminus of purified P2B as Asp-Phe-GIu-Val-Lys-Asn-Asp-Gly-Thr-Thr-Thr-Ile-Met-Ala-Ser-Phe-Cys-Ala-Met-Phe (10).A comparison of this sequence with that deduced from thecDNA for P2B/LAMP-1 showed five residue differences in thefirst 20 amino acids (Leu-1, Asn-7, Cys-11, Ser-17, Ser-19).Since the alignment of the P2B and LAMP-1 amino endsequences was correct, the discrepant amino acids were likelydue to protein sequencing errors for P2B.

The deduced amino acid sequence encoded in the cDNA ofP2B/LAMP-1 and homology with LAMP-1 sequences of threeother species revealed several interesting structural features(Fig. 3). Of the 405 amino acids encoded in the mRNA, 382are present in the mature polypeptide. The first 23 amino-

terminal residues constitute a leader sequence which was notfound on the mature protein. This sequence is presumablyremoved after facilitating the entry of the nascent protein intothe lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Neither an initiatormethionine, nor an amino-terminal leader sequence has beenfound in previous isolates of murine LAMP-1. This hydropho-

bic segment has a 52% and 33% similarity to the 24 amino acidrat LAMP-1 (Igpl20) leader sequence (27) and 18 residuechicken LAMP-1 (Lep-100) leader sequence (29), respectively.Interestingly, only an 18% similarity exists between the murineand proposed human leader sequences of LAMP-1 (28). Thefirst 17 residues of human LAMP-a, considered to be a leadersequence on the basis of its hydrophobic character and residueadherence to the "(-3,-l)-rule" (26), contain a highly conserved

4-amino acid segment at positions 9 through 12 of the murine

sequence. This stretch is present in the mature polypeptide ofmouse, rat, and chicken LAMP-1 and contains one of the 8absolutely conserved cysteine residues in the polypeptide. It islikely that this residue, along with the other cysteines, is important to the tertiary structure of the mature glycoprotein.Further, an alignment of the four species' sequences in Fig. 3

shows an absence of a strong hydrophobic domain at the amino-terminal region of human LAMP-1 which is present in themouse, rat, and chicken sequences. Therefore, it is likely thatthe human leader sequence has not yet been identified.

In all four species, a putative hinge region separates theLAMP-1 protein into approximately equal halves. Thisproline-, serine-, and threonine-rich area is well conservedacross the mouse, rat, and human; however, chicken LAMP-1includes an additional 13 amino acids in the middle of thisregion. In support of this interpretation, the domain also showsa distinct homology with IgAa,-chain (34), Epstein-Barr virus(35), and human lymphotropic virus (36) type II hinge structures (28).

Eight cysteine residues are contained within the murine polypeptide that is absolutely conserved in number and spacingacross rat, human, and chicken forms of LAMP-1. The approximately equal spacing between each pair of consecutive cysteineresidues (38, 35, 35, and 36 amino acids) would seem to suggestthat four loop domains are formed as a result of disulfidebridging. Further, the immobile positions of these residueswould also seem to indicate that such structures are functionallyimportant to P2B/LAMP-1.

Murine LAMP-1 contains 20 potential ASM-linked glycosylation sites, consistent with previous predictions of at least10 to 15 ASM-linked oligosaccharides per molecule (14). The

The cells of A have been stained with a ratmonoclonal antibody raised against purified P2B. while the cells in B have been challenged with rabbit anti-P2B polyclonal antiserum also raised against the purifiedglycoprotein. The intense perinuclear ring is characteristic of lysosomal localization and, to a lesser degree, cell surface localization of P2B/LAMP-1 can also be seenon select cell surfaces in A and B. The permeabilized rat2 fibroblast cells of C were incubated in L-PHA followed by staining with anti-L-PHA antibodies. Cell surfacelocalization of P2B/LAMP-1 was confirmed by staining nonpermeabilized rat2 fibroblast cells with the rabbit anti-P2B polyclonal antiserum (D).

central hinge domain serves to separate these sites in half withrespect to the polypeptide. As shown in Fig. 3, 17 of the 20murine ASM-linked sites are conserved within a spacing of 2amino acids across 4 species, and 7 of the sites are absolutelyconserved. P2B/LAMP-1, isolated from MDAY-D2, was foundto be considerably more resistant to protease digestion in aglycosylated form, in contrast to its sensitivity following gly-cosidase F digestion.5 The oligosaccharides may serve to protect

the glycoprotein from degradation by the various proteasespresent in lysosomes. A multitude of glycosylation sites arepresent in three of the four predicted loop domains; however,the loop closest to the carboxy end is devoid of ASM-linkedsites in all four species. If oligosaccharides were present in thisregion of the glycoprotein, they could interfere with the membrane-anchoring function of the nearby hydrophobic carboxy

domain.A comparison of the LAMP-1 amino acid sequences across

four species revealed highly conserved protein segments in theglycoprotein. Following the hydrophobic membrane-anchoringdomain, at the C-terminus of the glycoprotein, is an 11-aminoacid sequence which is absolutely conserved in the mouse, rat,human, and chicken. This cytoplasmic segment is primarilyhydrophilic in nature, and a search of the National BiomedicaiFoundation Protein databank did not reveal significant se-

quence similarities to any additional proteins. A 24-amino aciddomain following the putative hinge region has an 80% sequence similarity across four species and contains three of theseven absolutely conserved asparginine-linked glycosylationsites and one of the common cysteine residues. In addition,other regions of high amino acid conservation, but shorter inlength, are distributed throughout the glycoprotein. It will beinteresting to determine whether these regions of cross-specieshomology are required for LAMP-1 function, in particularbinding to extracellular matrix proteins.

Quantitation of P2B/LAMP-1 mRNA by Northern analysis(Fig. 4) and total cellular P2B/LAMP-1 protein by Westernblotting (14) showed no differences when metastatic and non-metastatic paired cell lines were compared. This confirmedearlier suggestions that differences in L-PHA binding to P2B/LAMP-1 were due to a tumor-progression-related increase inbranching of oligosaccharides rather than differences in theglycoprotein levels (10). However, mRNA levels appeared tovary among the seven different normal tissues examined. Interestingly, P2B/LAMP-1 mRNA levels appeared to decrease inoncogene-transfected rat2 fibroblast cells (Fig. 4D). Furtherstudies are being performed in order to determine if this traitis common in other cell lines transfected with dominant-actingoncogenes. The murine tissue Northern confirmed previousWestern analyses (14), indicating that P2B/LAMP-1 is distributed in a variety of tissues. The ubiquitous nature of P2B/

LAMP-1 suggests that transformation or progression-relatedchanges in oligosaccharide processing on the glycoprotein maybe a common feature of malignancies in a wide range of tissues.

Topological considerations of the sequence indicate that 90%of the glycoprotein faces the luminal membrane side of theendoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal compartments, and extracellular side of the plasma membrane. A highly conserved, 24-amino acid, hydrophobic domain capable of spanning the membrane (30), serves to anchor the glycoprotein in the membraneslisted above. Immunofluorescent staining of rat2 fibroblastswith anti-P2B/LAMP-l polyclonal serum showed intense reactivity with perinuclear vesicles, characteristic of lysosomallocalization. Less intense staining was also observed at the cellsurface in both permeabilized and nonpermeabilized rat2 cells.Lippincott-Schwartz and Fambrough (37) have shown thatthere is a continuous and rapid shuttling of chicken LAMP-1(Lep-100) among the plasma membrane, endosomes, and ly-sosomes in chick embryo fibroblast cells. Cell surface uptake offluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies, specific for Lep-100, was followed from the endosomes to the lysosomes.LAMP-1 has been detected on the cell surface of the murinemacrophage-like cell line P388, but not NIH 3T3 fibroblastcells (33). This is the first report of cell surface localization ofLAMP-1 on fibroblast cells. LAMP-1 has also been detected atthe surface of human U937 and HL60 myelomonocytic leukemia cell lines but was absent on a variety of other tissue culturecells or normal peripheral blood monocytes (38). When thesecells were induced to differentiate, LAMP-1 was no longerdetectable at the cell surface. These observations suggest that,in addition to the processing of LAMP-1 oligosaccharides, cellsurface expression of the glycoprotein may also be oncodevel-

opmentally regulated. Heuser has recently shown that loweringcytoplasmic pH to 6.5, in a number of cell lines, leads to arapid and reversible movement of lysosomes to the cell periphery (39). This movement follows the distribution of microtu-bules and is associated with decreased membrane ruffling andpseudopodial extensions. Lysosomal proximity and fusion withthe tumor cell surface may be induced by the acidic environmentof anaerobic tumors or other environmental stimuli. A combination of increased levels of P2B/LAMP-1 at the tumor surfaceand expression of more highly branched, sialylated oligosaccharide structures on this glycoprotein may be associated withsecretion of lysosomal hydrolases, decreased cell adhesion toextracellular matrix, and increased cell motility and invasivepotential.

Increased ßl-6branching at the trimannosyl core of complex-type ASM-linked oligosaccharides has previously been associated with transformation of NIH 3T3 cells by N-ras or c-H-ras(40), Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chick embryo fibroblasts(9) and BHK cells (41), and polyoma virus-transformed BHK

cells (8). A comparison of Grade II and Grade III uroepithelialcell lines shows that those cell lines which are tumorigenic invivo and invasive in vitro (grade III) possess more highlybranched oligosaccharides on their cell surface (42). Recently,we have shown that increased ßl-6branching is associated withenhanced metastatic potential in several experimental tumormodels (10). Several observations at the cellular level havesuggested that loss of sialylated lactosamine in ASM-linkedcomplex-type oligosaccharides of metastatic tumor cells is directly associated with increased adhesion to extracellular matrixproteins. Both the Class 1 somatic mutants and the drugswainsonine, which blocks asparginine-linked oligosaccharideprocessing prior to the initiation of the /31-6-linked antenna,enhance tumor cell adhesion and inhibit metastasis (13, 43). In

addition, branched complex-type oligosaccharides isolated fromMDAY-D2 cells were found to inhibit Class 1 cell adhesion toluminili (44). To determine whether the relevant branchedoligosaccharides were those on P2B/LAMP-1, the purifiedglycoprotein was tested for binding activity on extracellularmatrix proteins. The glycoprotein bound to an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) affinity column but poorly to extracellular matrixproteins. However, following the removal of sialic acid, poly-lactosamine, or complete ASM-linked oligosaccharides, purified P2B/LAMP-1 bound to collagen type I, fibronectin, andlaminin (15). Therefore, highly sialylated and polylactosamine-containing P2B/LAMP-1 expressed on the surface of metastatic tumors may contribute to the poorly adhesive and motilephenotype of the cells. The branched oligosaccharides containing polylactosamine sequences and terminal sialylation may beas large as 80 to 100 A (45), spanning more than the predicteddiameter of a P2B/LAMP-1 sized protein if it assumed aglobular configuration. Therefore, in addition to modulatingthe interaction between P2B/LAMP-1 and the extracellularmatrix, the large oligosaccharides on LAMP-1 may also inhibitthe interaction between other adhesion receptors and theirligands. Evidence favoring the latter mechanism has recentlybeen reported for the antiadhesion effects of polysialic acidsequences in asparginine-linked oligosaccharides of the embryonic neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) (46).
