Title : Glycosylation status of the membrane protein
CD9P-1
Abstract :
- The membrane protein CD9P-1 is a major component of the tetraspanin web, a network of molecular interactions in the plasma membrane, in which it specifically associates with tetraspanins CD9 and CD81
- The various functional effects of CD9 and CD81 may be related to their partners
- Thus, we have addressed the characterization of the CD9P-1 glycosylation using stably transfected HEK-293 cells
- After immunoprecipitation, CD9P-1 was subjected to enzymatic PNGase F cleavage of N-glycans, resulting in Asn to Asp conversion and increase in 1 mass unit
- Thus, following protease digestion, deglycosylated peptides were selectively identified by high mass accuracy FTICR-MS, using this conversion as a signature
- This has demonstrated that all nine potential N-glycosylation sites were actually engaged
- On the other hand, the N-glycan structures were determined combining chemical derivatization and exoglycosidase digestions followed by MALDI-TOF MS, ESI-MS/MS, and GC-MS analysis
- CD9P-1 was shown to exhibit more than 40 different N-glycans, essentially composed of complex and high mannose-type structures
- Finally, 2-D PAGE and lectino-blot analyses have revealed the presence of at least 17 glycosylated isoforms of CD9P-1 at cell surface
- All CD9P-1 isoforms associate with CD9 leading to additional level of complexity of this primary complex in the tetraspanin web
