Abstract
The hypothesis that the Golgi apparatus is capable of sorting proteins and sending them to the plasma membrane through "lipid rafts," membrane lipid domains highly enriched in glycosphingolipids, sphingomyelin, ceramide, and cholesterol, was formulated by van Meer and Simons in 1988 and came to a turning point when it was suggested that lipid rafts could be isolated thanks to their resistance to solubilization by some detergents, namely Triton X-100. An incredible number of papers have described the composition and properties of detergent-resistant membrane fractions. However, the use of this method has also raised the fiercest criticisms. In this chapter, we would like to discuss the most relevant methodological aspects related to the preparation of detergent-resistant membrane fractions, and to discuss the importance of discriminating between what is present on a cell membrane and what we can prepare from cell membranes in a laboratory tube.

Abstract
The Drosophila eggshell provides an in vivo model system for extracellular matrix assembly, in which programmed gene expression, cell migrations, extracellular protein trafficking, proteolytic processing, and cross-linking are all required to generate a multi-layered and regionally complex architecture. While abundant structural components of the eggshell are known and are being characterized, less is known about non-abundant structural, regulatory, and enzymatic components that are likely to play critical roles in eggshell assembly. We have used sensitive mass spectrometry-based analyses of fractionated eggshell matrices to validate six previously predicted eggshell proteins and to identify eleven novel components, and have characterized the expression patterns of many of their mRNAs. Among these are several putative structural or regulatory (non-enzymatic) proteins, most larger in mass than the major eggshell proteins and often showing preferential expression in follicle cells overlying specific structural features of the eggshell. Of particular note are the putative enzymes, some likely to be involved in matrix cross-linking (two yellow family members previously implicated in eggshell integrity, a heme peroxidase, and a small-molecule oxidoreductase) and others possibly involved in matrix proteolysis or adhesion (proteins related to cathepsins B and D). This work provides a framework for future molecular studies of eggshell assembly.

Abstract
Intercellular communication is mediated through paired connexons that form an aqueous pore between two adjacent cells. These membrane proteins reside in the plasma membrane of their respective cells and their activity is modulated by the composition of the lipid bilayer. The effects of the bilayer on connexon structure and function may be direct or indirect, and may arise from specific binding events or the physicochemical properties of the bilayer. While the effects of the bilayer and its constituent lipids on gap junction activity have been described in the literature, the underlying mechanisms of the interaction of connexin with its lipidic microenvironment are not as well characterized. Given that the information regarding connexons is limited, in this review, the specific roles of lipids and the properties of the bilayer on membrane protein structure and function are described for other ion channels as well as for connexons.

Abstract
This review focuses on how membrane lipid rafts have been detected and isolated, mostly from lymphocytes, and their associated proteins identified. These proteins include transmembrane antigens/receptors, GPI-anchored proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, Src-family protein kinases, G-proteins, and other proteins involved in signal transduction. To further understand the biology of lipid rafts, new methodological approaches are needed to help characterize the raft protein component, and changes that occur in this component as a result of cell perturbation. We describe the application of new proteomic approaches to the identification and quantification of raft proteins in T-lymphocytes. Similar approaches, applied to other model cell systems, will provide valuable new insights into both cellular signal transduction and lipid raft biology.

Abstract
GM3 ganglioside inhibits tetraspanin CD9-facilitated cell motility in various cell lines (Ono, M., Handa, K., Sonnino, S., Withers, D. A., Nagai, H., and Hakomori, S. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 6414-6421). We now report the following: (i) CD9 has the novel feature of being soluble in chloroform/methanol, and classifiable as "proteolipid"; (ii) CD9 and alpha(3) integrin were concentrated together in the low-density glycolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) of ldlD/CD9 cells, and the alpha(3) expression ratio (value for cells grown under +Gal condition divided by the value for cells grown under -Gal condition) in GEM of ldlD/CD9 cells was higher than that in control ldlD/moc cells, suggesting that CD9 recruits alpha(3) in GEM under +Gal condition, whereby GM3 is present. (iii) Chemical levels of alpha(3) and CD9 in the total extract or membrane fractions from cells grown under +Gal versus -Gal condition were nearly identical, whereas alpha(3) expressed at the cell surface, probed by antibody binding in flow cytometry, was higher under -Gal than +Gal condition. These results suggest that GM3 synthesized under +Gal condition promotes interaction of alpha(3) with CD9, which restricts alpha(3) binding to its antibody. A concept of the alpha(3)/CD9 interaction promoted by GM3 was further supported by (i) co-immunoprecipitation of CD9 and alpha(3) under +Gal but not -Gal condition, (ii) enhanced co-immunoprecipitation of CD9 and alpha(3) when GM3 was added exogenously to cells under -Gal condition, and (iii) the co-localization images of CD9 with alpha(3) and of GM3 with CD9 in fluorescence laser scanning confocal microscopy. Based on the promotion of alpha(3)/CD9 interaction by GM3 and the status of laminin-5 as a true ligand for alpha(3), the laminin-5/alpha(3)-dependent motility of ldlD/CD9 cells was found to be greatly enhanced under -Gal condition, but strongly inhibited under +Gal condition. Such a motility difference under +Gal versus -Gal condition was not observed for ldlD/moc cells. The inhibitory effect observed in ldlD/CD9 cells under +Gal condition was reversed upon addition of anti-alpha(3) antibody and is therefore based on interaction between alpha(3), CD9, and GM3 in GEM.

Abstract
The surface membrane of cells is studded with morphologically distinct regions, or domains, like microvilli, cell-cell junctions, and coated pits. Each of these domains is specialized for a particular function, such as nutrient absorption, cell-cell communication, and endocytosis. Lipid domains, which include caveolae and rafts, are one of the least understood membrane domains. These domains are high in cholesterol and sphingolipids, have a light buoyant density, and function in both endocytosis and cell signaling. A major mystery, however, is how resident molecules are targeted to lipid domains. Here, we propose that the molecular address for proteins targeted to lipid domains is a lipid shell.

Abstract
Physically distinguishable microdomains associated with various functional membrane proteins are one of the major current topics in cell biology. Glycosphingolipids present in such microdomains have been used as "markers;" however, the functional role of glycosyl epitopes in microdomains has received little attention. In this review, I have tried to summarize the evidence that glycosyl epitopes in microdomains mediate cell adhesion and signal transduction events that affect cellular phenotypes. Molecular assemblies that perform such functions are hereby termed "glycosynapse" in analogy to "immunological synapse," the membrane assembly of immunocyte adhesion and signaling. Three types of glycosynapses are so far distinguishable: (i) Glycosphingolipids organized with cytoplasmic signal transducers and proteolipid tetraspanin with or without growth factor receptors; (ii) transmembrane mucin-type glycoproteins with clustered O-linked glycoepitopes for cell adhesion and associated signal transducers at lipid domain; and (iii) N-glycosylated transmembrane adhesion receptors complexed with tetraspanin and gangliosides, as typically seen with the integrin-tetraspanin-ganglioside complex. The possibility is discussed that glycosynapses give rise to a high degree of diversity and complexity of phenotypes.

Abstract
Mouse melanoma B16 cells are characterized by a high concentration of GM3 ganglioside, which has been identified as a melanoma-associated antigen and is present as a clustered microdomain organized with major signal transducers, c-Src, small G-protein (Rho A), and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), to form a "glycosphingolipid signaling domain" or "glycosignaling domain" (GSD) separable from cholesterol- and caveolin-enriched microdomain, "caveolae." Cholesterol-binding reagents, filipin and nystatin, disrupt the structure and function of caveolae, but have no effect on GSD function [Iwabuchi, K., et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 33766-33773]. In this study, we searched for compounds which disrupt the structure and function of GSD in B16 cells. Such compounds should have structural features analogous to those of GM3, destroy or reduce clustering of GM3 in GSD, and inhibit GM3-dependent adhesion and signaling. The simplest compound so far found with these properties is sialyl alpha2-->1 sphingosine (Sph). We describe the synthesis of this compound and its analogues, and their effects on GM3 expression pattern and GSD function, in comparison with effects of lyso-GM3 and other lyso compounds, in B16 cells. Incubation of B16 cells with 0.5-10 microM sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph or 1-5 microM lyso-GM3 reduced GM3 clustering and GM3-dependent adhesion, and inhibited adhesion-dependent cellular FAK activity. The c-Src activation response of GSD isolated from B16 cells was inhibited strongly by sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph. Substitution of the Sph amino group with a chloroacetyl or N,N-dimethyl group strongly reduced the inhibitory effect of sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph on GM3-dependent adhesion, FAK, and c-Src response. Other lyso compounds such as lyso-phosphatidylcholine, galactosyl-Sph (psychosine), and lactosyl-Sph at 0.5-10 microM did not show the same effect as sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph. Thus, adhesion coupled with signal transduction, initiated by clusters of GM3 in GSD, is blocked by sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph or lyso-GM3. Analogues with N-substitution of Sph in sialyl alpha2-->1 Sph, other lyso-phospholipids, and galactosyl- or lactosyl-Sph did not block such adhesion, coupled with activation of c-Src and FAK.

Abstract
Cell adhesion and spreading on solid phase fibronectin (FN), coated on plate or presented in extracellular matrix, are mediated by integrin receptors alpha5beta1, alpha4beta1, etc., although binding of "soluble-form FN" to cell surface varies extensively depending on glycosylation status of FN per se. Deposition or incorporation at the cell surface or pericellular matrix of soluble-form FN from body fluids or synthesized de novo takes place through a yet-unknown (perhaps integrin-independent) mechanism. Here we present evidence that the mechanism involves carbohydrate-to-carbohydrate interaction. Binding or incorporation of soluble-form placental or hepatoma FN to cell surface or pericellular matrix is highly dependent on the specific glycosylation status of FN per se and combination with glycosylation status of the cell surface, and is greatly promoted by a certain type of coexisting (shedded) glycosphingolipid. A few lines of study indicate that the process is mediated by interaction of FN carbohydrate with cell surface carbohydrate. The great enhancement of the binding process by glycosphingolipid is based on dual interaction of glycosphingolipid carbohydrate with FN carbohydrate and with cell surface carbohydrate. Here we present an example of promotion of binding of soluble-form FN from placenta or from hepatoma cells, having a specific carbohydrate epitope termed "disialyl-I," to K562 or VA13 cell surface in the presence of glycosphingolipid Gg3, which interacts specifically with disialyl-I.

Abstract
Tenascin-C is an extracellular matrix component which is transiently expressed in association with epithelial cell detachment, proliferation, and migration. This molecule has been identified in respiratory tissue, but little is known about the cellular source of tenascin-C or the factors that regulate its production. Since air pollutants are known to disrupt epithelial integrity, we investigated the regulation of tenascin-C in response to 0.3 ppm ozone in differentiated primate nasal epithelial cells in culture at an air-medium interface. The expression of tenascin-C was upregulated in response to ozone, as determined by Northern blot analysis, Western blotting, and immunofluorescent staining. In contrast, there was no change in the mRNA levels for versican, biglycan, perlecan, or collagen type I. Reduced cellular attachment to the substrate was evident in ozone-treated cultures in association with tenascin-C deposition at the interfaces between cells and basal surfaces. The presence of tenascin-C on denuded areas of the matrix suggests that tenascin-C may have been instrumental in the loss of patches of cells. The modulation of tenascin-C synthesis and distribution may play a significant role in the response of respiratory epithelial cells to ozone exposure.

Abstract
Undifferentiated human embryonal carcinoma cells are characterized by high expression of lactoneotetraosylceramide (nLc4), globoside (Gb4), and extended globo-series glycosphingolipids (GSLs) termed "stage-specific embryonic antigens 3 and 4" (SSEA-3 and -4). Expression of these GSLs declines in association with a decline of homotypic adhesion during the differentiation process. Therefore, these GSLs may play an essential role in adhesion among these cells. As an example, human embryonal carcinoma 2102 cells display strong adhesion to plates coated with Gb4 ("Gb4-dependent cell adhesion"). This adhesion, which simulates homotypic 2102 cell aggregation, is based on interaction between Gb4 and nLc4, or between Gb4 and GalGb4 (IV3GalGb4; the major SSEA-3 epitope), as indicated by the following observations: (i) adhesion of 2102 cells or GSL-liposomes to GSL-coated plates in various combinations; (ii) inhibition of Gb4-dependent 2102 cell adhesion by preincubation of cells with anti-SSEA-3 or anti-nLc4 antibodies, or by pretreatment of Gb4-coated plates with aqueous micellar solution of nLc4 or GalGb4; (iii) decline of the cell adhesion in association with retinoic acid-induced differentiation, whereby SSEA-3 and nLc4 levels are reduced. Since cell adhesion is an essential prerequisite for induction of differentiation, as observed at each step of embryogenesis, expression of seven transcription factors following adhesion of 2102 cells to Gb4-coated plates, and to detergent-insoluble substrate adhesion matrix prepared from 2102 cells, were studied. In both types of adhesion, a strong enhancement of AP1 and CREB site binding activity was observed during the early stage (15-60 min following initial adhesion). Although 2102 cells showed strong adhesion to Gg3-coated plates, based on interaction between Gg3 and Gb4, adhesion of the cells to Gg3 did not cause changes of AP1 and CREB activity. No other transcription factors showed changes induced by Gg3- or Gb4-dependent adhesion.

Abstract
In the present study, we sought evidence for a surface nucleosome receptor in the fibroblastic cell line CV-1, and questioned whether anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA and/or anti-histone autoantibodies could recognize and influence the fate of cell surface-bound nucleosomes. 125I-labeled mononucleosomes were shown to bind to the cell layer in a specific, concentration-dependent and a saturable manner. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of two binding sites: a high-affinity site with a Kd of approximately 7nM and a low-affinity site (Kd approximately 400 nM) with a high capacity of 9 x 10(7) sites. Visualization of bound mononucleosomes by fluorescence revealed staining on both the cell surface and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Purified mononucleosome-derived ds DNA (180-200 bp) was found to complete for binding of 125I-mononucleosomes on the low-affinity site, to stain exclusively the ECM in immunofluorescence, and to precipitate three specific proteins of 43, 180 and 240 kDa from 125-I-labeled cell lysates. Nucleosomes were found to precipitate not only the 180-kDa ds DNA-reactive component, but also a unique protein of 50 kDa, suggesting that this protein is a cell surface receptor for nucleosomes on these fibroblasts. Once bound on the cell surface, mononucleosomes were recognized and secondarily complexed by lupus anti-ds DNA or anti-histone antibodies (i.e. anti-nucleosome antibodies), thus forming immune complexes in situ. The presence of these complexing auto-antibodies was found dramatically to enhance the kinetics of mononucleosome internalization. Following the internalization of the nucleosome-anti-nucleosome complexes by immunofluorescence, we observed the formation of vesicles at the edge of the cells by 5-10 min which moved toward the perinuclear region by 20-30 min. By means of double-fluorescence labeling and proteolytic treatment, these fluorescent vesicles were shown to be in the cytoplasm, suggesting true endocytosis of nucleosome-anti-nucleosome immune complexes. As shown by confocal microscopy, at no stage of this endocytic process was there any indication that coated pits or coated vesicles participated. Co-distribution of the endocytic vesicles with regions rich in actin filaments and inhibition of endocytosis of nucleosome-anti-nucleosome complexes by disruption of the microfilament network with cytochalasin D suggest a mechanism mediated by the cytoskeleton. Taken together, our data provide evidence for the presence of a surface nucleosome receptor. We also show that anti-ds DNA and anti-histone antibodies can form nucleosome-anti-nucleosome immune complexes in situ at the cell surface, and thus dramatically enhance the kinetics of nucleosome endocytosis.

Abstract
The development of skin appendages such as hair, feathers, and teeth is brought about by reciprocal interactions between epidermal and mesenchymal tissues and is thought to be influenced in part by cell adhesion molecules and components of the extracellular matrix. The developmental distributions of tenascin, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), E-cadherin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG), and the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan were studied in relation to hair follicle morphogenesis in fetal human skin. Tenascin first appeared in developing skin in focal concentrations at the epidermal-mesenchymal interface, just prior to, and presumably correlated with, hair follicle initiation. Tenascin immunostaining remained prominent in the basement membrane zone and extracellular matrix of the follicle sheath during subsequent morphogenetic stages. Two forms of tenascin (M(r) 250 x 10(3) and 280-300 x 10(3)), were revealed by Western blots of skin extracts. NCAM immunolabeling was initially present throughout the dermis, and became progressively restricted to the dermal condensation and the follicle sheath. Western blot analysis revealed an isoform of NCAM (M(r) 160 x 10(3)) which lacked polysialic acid. At all stages, E-cadherin staining was diminished on follicle cells situated adjacent to the basement membrane, relative to cells in the follicle interior. Follicle-specific immunostaining for ICAM-1 was transient, appearing only at the pre-germ and hair germ stages of development. Antibodies to three distinct CSPG determinants revealed unique immunolabeling patterns following follicle initiation: One CSPG epitope co-distributed with tenascin in the follicle basement membrane and follicle sheath extracellular matrix; one CSPG epitope was similarly expressed, and was also found on follicle epithelial cells; and the third CSPG determinant was noticeably absent from the follicle sheath during elongation of the developing appendage. Perlecan was concentrated in the dermal papilla, in addition to its distribution in all skin basement membranes. A model for how these diverse molecules may interact to influence human hair follicle morphogenesis is presented.

Abstract
Tenascin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that shows a site restricted expression especially in areas of cell proliferation, cell motility, and tissue modeling at the epithelial-mesenchymal junction during embryogenesis. Tissue specimens obtained from surgery and/or biopsy for oral leukoplakia (n = 22) and squamous cells carcinoma (n = 36) were examined for the presence of tenascin by using monoclonal antibody. In normal tissue specimens (n = 5), tenascin immunoreaction appeared as a linear continuous lining at the immediate vicinity of basement membrane (n = 3). Hyperplastic epithelia in leuoplakia showed a distinct increase in tenascin immunoreactivity in the submucosa correlating with the degree of hyperplasis and/or dysplasia. In squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the reactivity was most intense extending deeply into the underlying stroma with marked reaction around large tumour cell nests and the infiltrating tumour margin. The connective tissue stroma, however, in undifferentiated carcinoma showed traces of immunoreactivity. Positive immunoreactivity was seen around metastatic squamous cell carcinoma masses in regional lymph nodes. The stromal tissues infiltrated by inflammatory cells were usually unreactive while those with desmoplastic changes were positive for tenascin. The authors conclude that an enhanced expression of tenascin may play an important role during active phases of tumour cell proliferation and stromal changes in the premalignant and malignant lesions of the oral mucosa.

Abstract
The nervous system and muscle tissue of the leech express two different organ-specific forms of connective tissue protein. The nervous system-specific form appears in regional boundaries separating cell bodies, axonal tracts and areas of the neuropile during late embryogenesis. In contrast, the muscle-specific form appears earlier during development in the basement membrane of muscle cells. In extraction experiments both forms behave like extracellular matrix proteins and because of their molecular weight, are considered members of a group of cell type-specific 130 kD proteins (leech gp130s). However, the two forms differ in their posttranslational modification. As determined by Con A and lentil lectin affinity chromatography, only the nervous system-specific, but not the muscle-specific form, has fucosylated and high mannose N-linked carbohydrates. These differences in the developmental onset and glycosylation suggest that nervous system-specific and muscle-specific connective tissue proteins are regulated differently and participate in different molecular interactions.

Abstract
Muscle may suffer from a number of diseases or disorders, some being fatal to humans and animals. Their management or treatment depends on correct diagnosis. Although no single method may be used to identify all diseases, recognition depends on the following diagnostic procedures: (1) history and clinical examination, (2) blood biochemistry, (3) electromyography, (4) muscle biopsy, (5) nuclear magnetic resonance, (6) measurement of muscle cross-sectional area, (7) tests of muscle function, (8) provocation tests, and (9) studies on protein turnover. One or all of these procedures may prove helpful in diagnosis, but even then identification of the disorder may not be possible. Nevertheless, each of these procedures can provide useful information. Among the most common diseases in muscle are the muscular dystrophies, in which the newly identified muscle protein dystrophin is either absent or present at less than normal amounts in both Duchenne and Becker's muscular dystrophy. Although the identification of dystrophin represents a major breakthrough, treatment has not progressed to the experimental stage. Other major diseases of muscle include the inflammatory myopathies and neuropathies. Atrophy and hypertrophy of muscle and the relationship of aging, exercise, and fatigue all add to our understanding of the behavior of normal and abnormal muscle. Some other interesting related diseases and disorders of muscle include myasthenia gravis, muscular dysgenesis, and myclonus. Disorders of energy metabolism include those caused by abnormal glycolysis (Von Gierke's, Pompe's, Cori-Forbes, Andersen's, McArdle's, Hers', and Tauri's diseases) and by the acquired diseases of glycolysis (disorders of mitochondrial oxidation). Still other diseases associated with abnormal energy metabolism include lipid-related disorders (carnitine and carnitine palmitoyl-transferase deficiencies) and myotonic syndromes (myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita, hypokalemic and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, and malignant hyperexia). Diseases of the connective tissues discussed include those of nutritional origin (scurvy, lathyrism, starvation, and protein deficiency), the genetic diseases (dermatosparaxis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, alcaptonuria, epidermolysis bullosa, rheumatoid arthritis in humans, polyarthritis in swine, Aleutian disease of mink, and the several types of systemic lupus erythematosus) and the acquired diseases of connective tissues (abnormal calcification, systemic sclerosis, interstitial lung disease, hepatic fibrosis, and carcinomas of the connective tissues). Several of the diseases of connective tissues may prove to be useful models for determining the relationship of collagen to meat tenderness and its other physical properties. Several other promising models for studying the nutrition-related disorders and the quality-related characteristics of meat are also reviewed.

Abstract
Tenascin is an oligomeric glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix synthesized during embryonic development. It is prominently expressed in a variety of tumors. The role of tenascin in liver tissue is, however, unknown. We used immunocytochemistry to define the localization of tenascin and compare this with the localization of non-collagenous proteins, such as laminin and fibronectin, in normal human liver and pathological liver from patients with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In normal liver, tenascin expression was localized along the sinusoidal and vascular wall. In fibrotic liver, tenascin was also observed in the region between the hepatic parenchyma and the fibrosing portal tracts, especially in areas of piecemeal necrosis in chronic hepatitis. Immuno-EM study of liver tissue in chronic hepatitis strongly suggested the synthesis and secretion of tenascin by fat-storing cells into the space of Disse. In hepatocellular carcinoma, tenascin was expressed in both the capsule and lobular septa, but not in the sinusoidal walls of the tumors. These results led us to postulate a close relationship between the occurrence of this protein and disease processes such as fibrosis and cancer invasion.

Abstract
The bulk of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen in SV40-infected and -transformed cells localizes within the cell nucleus, while a minor fraction specifically associates with the plasma membrane (PM) and is exposed on the cell surface. PM-associated large T seems to span the lipid bilayer but, on the other hand, does not display typical features of a transmembrane protein. To further characterize the postulated transmembrane orientation of large T, we asked whether all large T molecules associated with the plasma membrane indeed are exposed on the cell surface. We compared the amount of cell surface-exposed large T, determined on living cells by a sensitive 3H-protein A-binding assay and by external immunoprecipitation, with that of total PM-associated large T extracted from isolated PM. We demonstrate that in mKSA cells (SV40-transformed BALB/c mouse fibroblasts), total PM-associated large T accounted for a substantial portion (ca. 2%) of total cellular large T. However, only 0.1 to 0.2% of it could be detected on the cell surface. Thus, only a minor fraction of PM-associated large T (less than 10%) is exposed on the surface of these cells. Interior PM-associated large T is stably associated with the plasma membrane, while the small fraction of surface-exposed large T is rapidly released from the cell surface.

Abstract
We have analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy and by biochemical cell fractionation the subcellular distribution of the adenovirus type 2 72K DNA binding protein (DBP) during the course of infection in HeLa cells. Early in infection, the 72K DBP was strictly localized in the cell nucleus. However, as infection progressed, the 72K DBP was additionally found in other subcellular fractions, notably in association with the cytoskeletal framework of the plasma membrane, the plasma membrane lamina. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that this association was specific. Control experiments excluded the possibility of an artificial redistribution of the 72K DBP during cell fractionation. Our data, therefore, demonstrate that a significant portion of the 72K DBP during late times of infection associates specifically with the cytoskeletal framework of plasma membranes of infected cells.

Abstract
A polyclonal antiserum was prepared in rabbits against the structural glycoprotein (SGP) complex previously isolated from a bacterial collagenase digest of bovine corneal stroma (R. Alper, Curr. Eye Res. 2:479, 1983). Direct and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays indicated that the antiserum was specific for the SGP-complex and did not react with Types I, III and IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin or actin. Immunoblot experiments indicated that the antiserum reacted with all of the components of the SGP-complex as well as with the cell matrix laid down by bovine keratocytes in culture. An attempt was made to isolate individual antibodies from the antiserum by selective elution from immunoblots of the components of the SGP-complex separated by SDS-PAGE. It was found that regardless of the protein band from which the antibody was eluted, every antibody isolated reacted with every protein component of the SGP-complex suggesting that the SGP-complex may have been derived from a single precursor protein and that the observed heterogeneity of the SGP-complex may have been the result of proteolytic breakdown of the protein held together by disulfide bonds. When the anti-SGP antiserum was used to immunoprecipitate 14C-proline labeled proteins from the media of bovine keratocytes in culture, the major protein observed had a Mr of about 140,000 daltons, similar to that of GP-140 also known as CL-glycoprotein. These proteins have been shown to represent the tissue form of Type VI collagen. To test the hypothesis that the SGP-complex may be related to the GP-140 (CL-glycoprotein), ELISA and immunoblotting studies were performed comparing the properties of the anti-SGP serum with those of a polyclonal antibody specific for Type VI collagen. The SGP-complex reacted positively by ELISA with the anti-human Type VI collagen antiserum and, conversely, human Type VI collagen gave a positive ELISA reaction with an antiserum against the SGP-complex. The anti-human Type VI collagen antiserum reacted with most of the major components of the SGP-complex on immunoblots of SDS-PAGE gels. These data indicate that the SGP-complex is related to and probably is derived from the tissue form of Type VI collagen.

Abstract
Pepsin-solubilized collagen VI was prepared from human placenta and used to separate three constituent chains for determining partial amino acid sequences. Antibodies raised against the chains assisted in the identification and purification of several cDNA clones from three expression lambda gt11 libraries. Most of the clones hybridized to either a 3.5-kb or 4.2-kb mRNA species which by matching peptide and nucleotide sequences could be identified as coding for the alpha 2(VI) or alpha 1(VI) chain, respectively. Other clones hybridized to either an 8.5-kb mRNA which very likely encoded the alpha 3(VI) chain or to an unknown 2.0-kb mRNA. Northern blots revealed a considerable variation in the mRNA levels for each collagen VI chain in both skin and cornea fibroblasts and in several tumor cell lines. Limited sequence data generated from peptides and cDNA clones demonstrated a characteristic cysteine pattern at the junction between N-terminal globular domain and triple helix in all three chains. In addition, the data showed occasional interruptions of triplet sequences within the triple-helical domain and the presence of two Arg-Gly-Asp sequences which are potential cell-binding structures.

Abstract
Two monoclonal antibodies have been characterized as being against avian type VI collagen. By competition ELISA, the antibodies bound to the native type VI collagen molecule but not to its separated chains or to any of the other native collagen types tested. By rotary shadowing analysis of complexes of antibody-type VI collagen monomers, one of the antibodies (VI-EC6) has been shown to bind to a site in the triple helical domain of the molecule. The site at which this antibody binds to the dimeric form of type VI collagen is consistent with the previously proposed model for a supramolecular organization of the molecule (Furthmayr et al., Biochem j 211 (1983) 303) in which the monomers are arranged in an antiparallel, slightly staggered overlap. Immunofluorescence analyses of sections of chicken eyes and skeletal muscle demonstrate that type VI collagen is a major component of most stromal matrices.

Abstract
Collagen VI is a large, disulfide-bonded protein complex which is widely distributed in connective tissue. The constituent polypeptide chains (Mr = 110,000-140,000) consist of collagenous and noncollagenous segments, are degraded to chains of about half the size when collagen VI is solubilized by pepsin, and assemble to a unique pattern of oligomers. As revealed by electron microscopy, the triple-stranded protomer consists of a triple helix 105 nm in length flanked on each side by globular domains of similar size (diameter about 7 nm). Protomers are assembled to dimers by an antiparallel staggered alignment of triple-helical segments. This leads to inner regions, 75 nm in length, of two slightly supercoiled triple helices flanked by globular domains. At both sides 30-nm-long outer triple-helical segments emerge that are terminated by globules. Tetramers are formed from laterally aligned dimers that cross with their outer triple-helical segments in a scissors-like fashion. The same structures, except with much smaller globular domains, are found in pepsin-treated collagen VI. Disulfide-linked collagen VI produced by cultured fibroblasts has a size similar to that of genuine collagen VI found in tissue extracts. Larger forms of collagen VI are assembled from tetramers by end-to-end aggregation which because of an overlap of the outer segments brings all globular domains close together. This arrangement predicts microfibrillar structures in tissues with a periodicity of 100-110 nm and a diameter of 5-10 nm. Structures consistent with this proposal were indeed found by immunoelectron microscopy of placenta and aorta using the ferritin technique. Large, lateral aggregates of collagen VI microfibrils may in addition exist in cell cultures and tissues ("zebra collagen," "Luse bodies") and are presumably maintained by contacts between globular domains.

Abstract
In mKSA cells (a simian virus 40-transformed BALB/c mouse tumor cell line), plasma membrane-associated large T antigen (large T) is found in two subfractions of the plasma membrane; a minor amount of large T is recovered from the Nonidet P-40 (NP-40)-soluble plasma membrane fraction, whereas the majority is tightly bound to a substructure of the plasma membrane, the plasma membrane lamina (PML). Only PML-associated large T is fatty acid acylated (U. Klockmann and W. Deppert, EMBO J. 2:1151-1157, 1983). We have analyzed whether these two forms of plasma membrane-associated large T might differ in features like cell surface expression or metabolic stability. In addition, we have asked whether one of the two large Ts might represent the hypothetic, large T-related protein T* (D. F. Mark and P. Berg, Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 44:55-62, 1979). We show that in mKSA cells grown in suspension culture, large T associated with the PML is also exposed on the cell surface. This form of large T, therefore, exhibits properties of a transmembrane protein. Large T in the NP-40-soluble plasma membrane fraction could not be labeled with radioiodine on the cell surface and, for this reason, does not seem to be oriented towards the cell surface. In contrast, when mKSA cells were grown on substratum (culture dish), we found that in these cells both NP-40-soluble large T as well as large T anchored in the PML could be cell surface iodinated. We also have analyzed the plasma membrane association of surface T antigen in mKSA cells grown in a mouse as ascites tumor. In tumor cells, only PML-bound large T is cell surface associated. We conclude that differences in extractibility of cell surface-associated large T most likely depend on cell shape and are not an artifact of cell culture. Both NP-40-soluble and PML-bound large Ts are associated with the plasma membrane in a metabolically stable fashion. Neither of the two large Ts represents T*.

Abstract
Fibronectin promotes macrophage adherence and expression of Fc receptors, is chemotactic for fibroblasts, and is an opsonin for fibrin and denatured collagen. These properties suggest a role for fibronectin in the modulation of joint inflammation. Since structural modification of the fibronectin molecule has been shown to result in loss or de novo acquisition of opsonic and chemotactic activity, we determined the functional and immunochemical properties of fibronectin isolated from the inflamed joint. Eighty-six percent of synovial fluids obtained from patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) contained fibronectin fragments, and 39% of the fluids no longer displayed the dimeric form. Compared with native fibronectin, RA peptides were as active in promoting synoviocyte chemotaxis and in glycosaminoglycan binding, but displayed lower affinity for fibrin and gelatin. Although comparable with intact protein in augmenting monocyte attachment to gelatin, the RA synovial fluid peptides did not augment monocyte attachment to fibrin. Analysis of whole synovial fluid and isolated fibronectins by enzyme immunoassay showed that the increased fibronectin immunoreactivity, previously reported in RA synovial fluid, measures intact and nearly intact protein and does not measure extensively degraded fragments.

Abstract
Cultured human vascular endothelial cells synthesize von Willebrand protein, thrombospondin and fibronectin. These proteins are secreted in the culture medium and incorporated into the extracellular matrix. We have compared the subcellular localization and the secretion of these proteins in response to stimulants in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Density gradient centrifugation using colloidal silica showed that the storage and secretion organelle with von Willebrand protein did not contain thrombospondin or fibronectin. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy indicated that thrombospondin and fibronectin are not located in the rod-shaped organelles containing von Willebrand protein. Thrombin, ionophore A23187 and phorbol myristate acetate did not affect secretion of thrombospondin and fibronectin, while von Willebrand protein secretion was stimulated upon incubation of cells with these agents for 30 min. Prolonged incubation of cultured endothelial cells after a 1-h treatment with phorbol myristate acetate resulted in an increased secretion of von Willebrand protein into the conditioned medium; in contrast, accumulation of thrombospondin and fibronectin in endothelial cell-conditioned medium was decreased. These findings indicate that, unlike in platelets, these major endothelial proteins are not located in the same subcellular compartments. Von Willebrand protein is distinguished from thrombospondin and fibronectin both by its unique subcellular localization and its secretion rate in response to stimuli.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody CSAT has been reported to perturb the adhesion of chick embryo cells to their substratum (Neff et al. [19]). Evidence is presented here that the antigen recognized by this monoclonal antibody is comprised of three membrane glycoproteins. The antigen is released from cells with non-ionic detergent and purified by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography. When analysed by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions, the antigen resolves into three components of apparent molecular weights 160 000 (band 1), 135000 (band 2), and 110 000 (band 3). Following reduction of each component, bands 1 and 2 migrate at slightly lower apparent molecular weights, while band 3 migrates at a higher apparent molecular weight, suggesting that band 3 has an internal disulfide bond. All three bands differ from one another as determined by peptide mapping and by immunologic cross-reactivity. It is postulated that the three glycoproteins function as a complex that plays a central role in cell-substratum adhesion.

Abstract
Colonies of chick retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells offer an excellent model system for studying the organization of cytoskeleton in sheets of differentiating epithelial cells. The cells occupying the center of the colony resemble RPE cells in vivo and are cuboidal, pigmented, and relatively nonadherent while those toward the periphery gradually become flatter, nonpigmented, motile, and strongly adherent to the substratum. Immunofluorescence microscopy with antiserum against chicken erythrocyte alpha-spectrin reveals that this protein is present in the cortex of RPE cells in all parts of the colony. It is neither concentrated in, nor excluded from the regions occupied by the major microfilament bundles, and its distribution is not related to the adhesion patterns visualized by surface reflection interference microscopy. In contrast, the distribution of vinculin is closely correlated with the adhesiveness of RPE cells in different parts of the colony. Immunofluorescence microscopy reveals that in the RPE cells vinculin may be diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm; present in a cortical band outlining the cell borders; and present in focal contacts and adhesions. The distribution of vinculin is affected by the length of time the colonies grow in culture, by the degree of cell packing and by the adhesiveness of cells to the substratum. In RPE cells grown in vitro for short periods (less than or equal to 3 days) vinculin is found in focal contacts and adhesions in both the undifferentiated, well spread peripheral cells as well as in the differentiated, polygonally packed central cells of the colony. In RPE cells cultured for longer periods (greater than or equal to 14 days) vinculin is present in focal contacts and adhesions only in strongly adherent, undifferentiated cells at the edge of the colony. In packed central cells of both short- and long-term cultures vinculin is found in the cortical band which circumscribes the apical ends of cells at the level of the adherens type intercellular junctions. Its appearance in the cortical bands does not depend on the length of time the colonies are grown in vitro but on the presence of cell-cell contacts resulting from an increased degree of cell packing within the central part of the colony. These results are discussed in relation to the development and the role of extracellular matrix in determining the adhesiveness of RPE cells in vitro.

Abstract
A non-ionic detergent-resistant complex of membrane-associated proteins and cell-surface glycoproteins has been isolated by gel filtration and isopyknic centrifugation of purified plasma membranes from the murine T-lymphoma P 1798. This complex elutes as a high molecular weight peak (greater than 15 X 10(6) D) and contains two specific sets of (1) cell-surface glycoproteins; (2) membrane-associated proteins. The cell-surface glycoproteins consist of two vectorially labelled major components present in a fixed molar ratio: The Thy-1 glycoprotein and a non-H-2 glycoprotein of 55 kD. Minor but significant amounts of the class I histocompatibility antigen Qa-2 are also contained in the detergent-resistant complex. The membrane-associated proteins are not vectorially labelled, and form a complex group of proteins in the 30-70 kD range. Since actin is not detectable among these polypeptides, they probably constitute a plasma membrane-associated structure that is distinct from actin-containing, submembranous cytoskeletal elements.

Abstract
Metastasizing tumor cells must traverse diverse extracellular matrices during dissemination. Extracellular matrices consist of two basic types, interstitial stroma and basement membranes. Extracellular matrices are chemically complex structures that interact with cell surfaces by a number of mechanisms. There has been a great deal of effort in recent years to understand the molecular nature of extracellular matrices, especially as it relates to the adhesion of normal and malignant cell types. Adhesive noncollagenous glycoproteins, such as laminin and fibronectin, serve pivotal roles in basement membrane and stromal matrices, respectively. These proteins participate in establishing the architecture of extracellular matrices as well as in attaching to the surface of cells and affecting cellular phenotype. This phenotypic effect ranges from adhesion and motility to growth and differentiation. Changes in adhesive characteristics and motility of cells have long been suspected to play a role in mediating the spread of malignant neoplasms. This article is designed to review extracellular matrix constituents that are currently known that can mediate the adhesion and motility of malignant neoplasms. The adhesion of normal and malignant cells to matrices is a complex process mediated by several distinct mechanisms which are initially manifested by changes in cytoskeletal architecture. The topic of normal and malignant cell adhesion to matrices will also be discussed in this regard, since any explanation of tumor cell migration must account for the complex dynamic interactions of the cell surface with the substratum as well as with the cytoskeleton. Finally, current efforts designed to understand the molecular nature of tumor cell:matrix interactions that contribute to metastatic behavior will also be discussed. The rationale behind these studies is that selective inhibition of specific tumor:extracellular matrix interactions can provide an avenue for therapeutic intervention of metastatic cancer.

Abstract
The glycosphingolipids isolated from the detergent-insoluble material (DIM) of whole cells as well as from a similar detergent-insoluble substrate attachment matrix (DISAM) have been investigated in comparison with the glycosphingolipids of whole cells. The proportion of glycolipids in the total lipid extract was enriched in the DISAM as well as DIM fractions as compared to whole cells. The ratio of ganglioside (GM3) to neutral glycolipids was also higher in the DISAM fractions than in whole cells. The radioactivity incorporated into DISAM glycolipids of BHK cells, metabolically labeled with radioactive glucosamine, was greater in confluent cells than in sparsely growing cells; however, label incorporation into glycolipids of the DISAM fraction of BHKpy cells was 2-3-fold higher than that of confluent BHK cells, although the chemical quantity of GM3 in whole cells was much lower in BHKpy cells than in BHK cells. In order to confirm the enhanced label in DISAM glycolipids of BHKpy cells by other procedures, the labeled cells were detached by EGTA, washed, and reattached on plates. The amount of label in DISAM glycolipids of the reattached matrix of BHKpy cells was much higher than that of BHK cells. Cell spreading and cell attachment on plastic plate were inhibited by inclusion of GM3 in the medium. These data suggest that: (i) glycolipids, particularly GM3, at the cell attachment site have different metabolic activity from those of whole cells; the label in glycolipids goes preferentially into cell attachment sites, and may have some functional role in regulating cell attachment of BHK cells; (ii) metabolic activity and turnover of GM3 in cell attachment sites of confluent cells are higher than actively growing cells, yet those of transformed cells are much higher than any state of non-transformed cells.

Abstract
Growth of highly invasive B16 melanoma BL6 cells with bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) decreases in vitro cell detachment and modulates extrapulmonary growth in vivo. We now show: (1) The presence of an 80 kd glycoprotein in the Triton-insoluble matrix of control BL6 cells but not in the corresponding fractions from BUdR-treated BL6 cells and poorly metastatic F1r cells. (2) The matrix fractions from the two last mentioned cells reveal Triton-insoluble glycoproteins of about 55-58 kd. (3) Mild trypsin treatment of intact cells before matrix preparation leads to the preferential disappearance of the 80 kd component from control BL6 matrix, suggesting its extracellular localization. (4) Prevention of Triton-mediated BL6 matrix detachment by zinc chloride pretreatment, and analysis of different BL6 clones with significant metastatic behavior, also revealed the presence of 80-90 kd matrix-associated glycoproteins in control but not in corresponding BUdR-grown cultures. Since BUdR decreases cell detachment, extrapulmonary metastasis and the levels of the 80-90 kd Triton-insoluble glycoprotein species in metastatic B16 melanoma, and this matrix component is also decreased in poorly metastatic F1r cells, we propose an involvement of this glycoconjugate in tumor cell detachment and metastatic behavior.

Abstract
Growth of B16 melanoma metastatic variants with 2.5 micrograms/ml of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) decreases cell detachment from the substratum, as measured by resistance to release by trypsin-EDTA treatment. Using an antiserum to intact melanoma cells and metabolic labelling of melanoma metastatic variants with 3H-glucosamine and subsequent electrophoretic analysis, we are now able to show that: (1) differential solubilization and immune precipitation permit the identification of hydrophilic glycoproteins of about 140 kD and 110 kD in melanoma cells with low colonizing ability; (2) the effects of BrdU on B16 melanoma appear to be exerted differentially on cells with differing metastatic behavior, since only poorly invasive melanoma cells show a stimulating effect of BrdU on the expression of the hydrophilic 140 kD glycoproteins; (3) cells with increased lung colonizing ability reveal hydrophobic 140 and 110 kD glycoprotein species with increased susceptibility to mild protease treatment, as compared with the corresponding components from poorly invasive cells. The possible relationship of the 140-110 kD glycoproteins to B16 melanoma biological behavior and cell-substratum interactions is suggested by the fact that such components undergo significant changes in cells with differing invasive behavior and detachment properties.

Abstract
The molecular specificity of a rat anti-mouse monoclonal antibody for cell surface antigens expressed by T- and B-lymphocyte subsets, erythrocytes and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) was determined. The antibody reacts with B-lymphocyte-associated molecules which migrated as a sharp 48,000 mol. wt band on SDS-PAGE. The antibody reacts with heterogeneous thymocyte and PMN molecules with a predominant mol. wt of 52,000. The same antibody reacts with heat-stable, amphipathic, organic-solvent-soluble erythrocyte molecules of mol. wt 35,000-40,000 present in Folch upper-phase ganglioside fractions, and evidence is presented that the determinant is protein-defined. Thus, a single monoclonal reagent which recognizes distinct, lineage-specific cell surface proteins on erythroid, lymphoid and myeloid elements may be used to probe not only the characteristic patterns of development of these hematopoietic subsets, but also the biochemical functions of the protein antigens themselves. In the case of B- and T-lymphocytes, such functions may extend to involvement in ligand-induced maturation and repertoire selection.

Abstract
Human fibronectin as the free glycoprotein or in liposomal form was injected into rabbits and rats. Organ distribution, lifetimes and cell penetration were examined using radioactively marked material. A major difference is that liposomal fibronectin is largely concentrated in the lungs whereas most of the free protein is found in the liver. Fixation to human erythrocytes both washed and in total blood was also studied for both forms of fibronectin.

Abstract
Two monoclonal antibodies that cause changes in the morphology of cultured chick myogenic cells have been described previously [8]. In this paper, these antibodies are shown to interact with the same 140Kd protein. The 140Kd protein has been further characterized as a cell-surface glycoprotein by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodinations and lectin affinity chromatography. The protein is resistant to digestion by trypsin and collagenase and has been shown to be unrelated to fibronectin by immunoprecipitation studies and by peptide mapping. A second protein, of approximately 170Kd MW, is also immunoprecipitated by the monoclonal antibodies. This protein is probably unrelated to the 140Kd protein since the peptide maps are quite distinct.
