Abstract
Mammary epithelial cells (MEC) of lactating animals ferry large amounts of milk constituents in vesicular structures which have mostly been characterized by morphological approaches (Ollivier-Bousquet, 1998). Recently, we have shown that under conditions of lipid deprivation, perturbed prolactin traffic paralleled changes in the membrane phospholipid composition and in the cytosol versus membrane distribution of annexin VI (Ollivier-Bousquet et al., 1997). To obtain additional information on the membrane events involved in the vesicular transport of the hormone to the apical pole of the cell, we conducted a biochemical study on prolactin-containing vesicles in MEC at two different stages of differentiation. We first showed that MEC of pregnant and lactating rabbits exhibited membrane characteristics of non-polarized and polarized cells respectively, using annexin IV and the alpha-6 subunit of integrin as membrane markers. Incubation of both cell types with biotinylated prolactin for 1 h at 15 degrees C, followed by a 10-min chase at 37 degrees C revealed that prolactin transport was activated upon MEC membrane polarization. This was confirmed by subcellular fractionation of prolactin-containing vesicles on discontinuous density gradients. In non-polarized MEC, (125)I-prolactin was mainly recovered in gradient fractions enriched with endocytotic vesicles either after incubation at 15 degrees C or after a 10-min chase at 37 degrees C. In contrast, in polarized MEC, the hormone switched from endocytotic compartments to a fraction enriched in exocytotic clathrin-coated vesicles during the 10-min chase at 37 degrees C. Association of annexin VI to prolactin carriers was next studied in both non-polarized and polarized cells. Membrane compartments collected at each gradient interface were solubilized under mild conditions by Triton X-100 (TX100) and the distribution of annexin VI in TX100-insoluble and TX100-soluble fractions was analyzed by Western blotting. Upon MEC polarization, the amount of annexin VI recovered in TX100-insoluble fractions changed. Quite interestingly, it increased in a membrane fraction enriched with endocytotic clathrin-coated vesicles, suggesting that annexin VI may act as a sorting signal in prolactin transport.

Abstract
The annexins are a family of proteins that bind acidic phospholipids in the presence of Ca2+. The interaction of these proteins with biological membranes has led to the suggestion that these proteins may play a role in membrane trafficking events such as exocytosis, endocytosis and cell-cell adhesion. One member of the annexin family, annexin II, has been shown to exist as a monomer, heterodimer or heterotetramer. The ability of annexin II tetramer to bridge secretory granules to plasma membrane has suggested that this protein may play a role in Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. Annexin II tetramer has also been demonstrated on the extracellular face of some metastatic cells where it mediates the binding of certain metastatic cells to normal cells. Annexin II tetramer is a major cellular substrate of protein kinase C and pp60src. Phosphorylation of annexin II tetramer is a negative modulator of protein function.

Abstract
A new group of calcium-regulating proteins, called annexins or Ca(++)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins (PLBP), have been detected in different species, organs and cell types. In the present study, we have identified and quantitated PLBP from guinea pig lung, lavage fluid and alveolar type II cells to elucidate the possible role of PLBP in lung surfactant biogenesis and secretion. Lungs were lavaged and type II cells from lavaged lung were isolated by elastase digestion and purified by centrifugal elutriation. For the quantitative identification of PLBP, we performed ELISA assays and Western blot analysis by using an antiserum raised in guinea pigs against a pure rabbit lung 36 kDa PLBP. The lavage fluid, cytosol from lung and type II cells contained 784, 167 and 435 ng per mg protein, respectively, of PLBP. The SDS-PAGE electrophoretic pattern and Western blot confirmed that all lung samples have band corresponding to a 36 kDa protein. This indicates that both alveolar type II cells and lavage fluid have higher levels of PLBP than whole lung cytosol.

Abstract
Peptide sequence data derived from a plant annexin, P34 [Smallwood, Keen & Bowles (1990) Biochem. J. 270, 157-161] was used to design amplimers for PCR. A unique fragment of 95 bp, amplified from tomato (Lycopersicon esculertum) genomic DNA, was used in Northern analyses and demonstrated a differential pattern of expression in vegetative tissues of tomato, potato (Solanum tuberosum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). The tissue-specific abundance of the annexin transcript was found to correlate closely with abundance of annexin protein as revealed by their partial purification and analysis with antisera specific for annexins isolated from tomato suspension-culture cells.

Abstract
To elucidate the putative role of annexin II (calpactin I) in the secretory function of mammary tissue its immunolocalization in the mammary gland of pregnant and lactating mice was investigated by light- and electron microscopy using the immunoperoxidase technique. A low level of fairly uniform annexin II staining was evident throughout the gland despite its mixed composition during pregnancy. In lactating tissue it was revealed that apparently mature alveoli contained a concentration of annexin II staining outlining their epithelium. The staining was localised by immuno-electron microscopy to the apical membrane of these alveolar epithelial cells and their microvillar extensions. There was also an apparent association of annexin II with vesicles of a range of sizes located near, or actually fused with, the apical membrane. Many of the small, stained vesicles could clearly be identified as casein-containing vesicles while the large vesicles were apparently associated with either casein granules or possibly lipid. The appearance of a selective concentration of annexin II in apparently actively secreting mammary epithelial cells, as revealed in this study, is consistent with a possible structural and/or functional role for this protein at the membranes participating in the secretion of protein and possibly lipid from these secretory cells.

Abstract
Three major proteins of 34, 36, and 38 kDa were isolated from membrane preparations of chemically induced mammary tumors of the rat by collagen type I affinity chromatography and therefore were termed collagen-binding proteins (CBP). Three proteins in the same molecular weight range isolated from cell extracts by precipitation with calcium, solubilization of the precipitate with EGTA, and chromatography on hydroxylapatite were demonstrated to be immunologically related to CBP. As shown by immunoblot analysis, an antiserum directed against the cluster of the 34-38 kDa proteins reacted strongly with porcine intestinal protein I, weakly with porcine lipocortin I, and very weakly with porcine intestinal protein II. Antiserum against the 34 kDa protein reacted weakly with protein I but strongly with protein II. All three CBP reacted with protein I/calpactin I-specific antiserum of immunoblots and in immunoprecipitation experiments. However, antisera directed against CBP failed to show cross-reaction with collagen-binding protein anchorin II from chicken chondrocytes. Conversely, antisera against anchorin II did not react with CBP. Antiserum AS/87 immunoprecipitated CBP of 38 kDa that was labeled in a lactoperoxydase-catalyzed iodination, suggesting that this polypeptide is associated with the cell surface. Further, all three CBP were found to be phosphorylated by incubating mammary cells with 32P-orthophosphate. CBP bound to epithelial cell membranes in a Ca2+ dependent manner (= Triton X 100 insoluble form). Fractionated extraction and immunofluorescence microscopy also show that another form of CBP (= Triton X 100 soluble form) exists in these cells and is associated with a granular fraction. We therefore conclude that mammary collagen-binding proteins represent members of a family of Ca2(+)-binding membrane proteins. The 38 kDa CBP seems closely related to the pp60src kinase substrate protein I/calpactin I monomer, the 34 kDa CBP seems to be related or equivalent to protein II, while the relationship of the 36 kDa CBP to other defined proteins is still unclear.

Abstract
Membrane fusion is a central event in the process of exocytosis. It occurs between secretory vesicle membranes and the plasma membrane and also among secretory vesicle membranes themselves during compound exocytosis. In many cells the fusion event is regulated by calcium. Since the relevant membranes do not undergo fusion in vitro when highly purified, much attention has been paid to possible protein mediators of these calcium-dependent fusion events. The annexins comprise a group of calcium-dependent membrane-aggregating proteins, of which synexin is the prototype, which can initiate contacts between secretory vesicle membranes which will then fuse if the membranes are further perturbed by the addition of exogenous free fatty acids. This review discusses the secretory pathway and the evidence obtained from in vitro studies that suggests the annexins may be mediators or regulators of membrane fusion in exocytosis.

Abstract
Mammary glands contain a group of calcium-sensitive proteins that bind to membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. Using the calcium-dependent binding to hydrophobic surfaces in combination with conventional techniques, we have purified the 70 kDa mammary calcium-binding protein (70 kDa M-CBP) to homogeneity. Antisera prepared to the 70 kDa M-CBP or to bovine liver 67 kDa calelectrin reacted in immunoblot analysis with the 70 kDa M-CBP antigen and with several additional mammary CBP species in crude tissue homogenates. Limited proteolysis of the 70 kDa M-CBP produced smaller immunoreactive species; extensive proteolysis resulted in more complete degradation of the protein. Identical data were obtained with digestion of 67 kDa calelectrin. The pl for the 70 kDa M-CBP was determined to be approximately 5.8; the same value reported for 67 kDa calelectrin. Phosphorylation of 70 kDa M-CBP was not detected in epithelial cell culture metabolic labeling. Immunohistochemical localization showed the protein to be located in ductal epithelia of virgin mouse mammary glands with a pattern of increased staining of the basal portions of the cells. Some stromal cells were also reactive. Apparently, the 70 kDa M-CBP and 67 kDa calelectrin are the same protein. Furthermore, like the 32.5 calelectrin (endonexin) and calpactin I/p36/lipocortin II, the 70 kDa protein appears to be a ductal epithelial cell associated protein in the mammary gland.

Abstract
The 67 kDa calcimedin is a Ca2+-binding protein isolated from several muscle tissues. A recent report [Morse & Moore (1988) Biochem. J. 251, 171-174] indicated that the 67 kDa calcimedin is distinct from 67 kDa calelectrin, which is purified from various non-muscle cells. In the present study we have purified the 67 kDa protein from bovine aorta (i.e. 67 kDa calcimedin) and liver (i.e. 67 kDa calelectrin) and compared them by immunological and biochemical criteria. The aorta calcimedin is identical with the liver calelectrin by the following criteria. (1) The calcimedin co-electrophoresed with the calelectrin on SDS/5-15%-(w/v)-linear-gradient polyacrylamide gels. (2) The two proteins selectively cross-reacted with a chicken gizzard calcimedin antibody. (3) An antibody raised against the bovine aorta calcimedin also recognized the bovine liver calelectrin. (4) One-dimensional peptide maps of the two proteins revealed no significant difference. (5) The calcimedin appeared to have an amino acid composition essentially the same as that of the liver calelectrin. (6) The amino acid sequences of the calcimedin fragments were identical with those of the calelectrin fragments.

Abstract
Mammary epithelial cell spreading on collagen gels has previously been shown to be correlated with the synthesis of a group of calcium-binding proteins (CBPs) which we have identified as the calcium-binding proteins termed calelectrins and calpactin I monomer/p36. To determine whether cell spreading per se is required for CBP synthesis, we examined the effect of cytochalasin D on these two events. Concentrations of cytochalasin D that did not reduce total protein synthesis, caused inhibition of cell spreading in a dose-dependent manner, but did not cause inhibition of CBP synthesis. Synthesis of collagen also continued during cytochalasin inhibition of cell spreading. Removal of the inhibitor from the cultures initiated cell spreading and CBP synthesis continued. Membrane-cytoskeleton complexes from control and CD treated cells were identical in regard to binding CBPs in a calcium-dependent manner. Colchicine, which inhibited cell spreading, was shown to be toxic to general protein synthesis at 75 nM. The data clearly indicate that mere inhibition of epithelial cell spreading does not automatically suppress CBP synthesis.

Abstract
We recently showed that mammary glands contain a novel class of calcium-binding proteins (CBPs) that bind to membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. We have also established that these mammary CBPs are equivalent to the calelectrins and calpactin I/p36. Since it has been suggested that these proteins might be involved in exocytosis, we examined mammary glands for these CBPs during secretory differentiation. Immunohistochemical examination showed glands from virgin animals to be rich in calelectrins and calpactin I/p36, while glands from lactating animals contained little immunoreactive material. In addition, silver-staining and immunoblot estimation of the CBPs in lysates from collagenase harvested secretory epithelia showed these proteins to be significantly reduced compared to nonsecretory epithelia. Close examination of the CBP immunoreactive cells of the mammary gland shows that ductal cells are prominent in their staining and that the immunoreactive material is associated with the cell surface. Also, in juvenile glands the myoepithelial stem cells (cap cells) of the elongating end bud are devoid of the CBPs. In contrast to the in vivo data, epithelia cultivated on collagen gels demonstrate comparable levels of the CBPs in both nonsecretory and secretory monolayers. The in vivo data indicate that the CBPs are developmentally regulated during mammary gland differentiation such that secretory epithelia are essentially devoid of these novel proteins. Furthermore, a role for calelectrin and calpactin I/p36 in exocytotic casein secretion is questioned.

Abstract
The annexins are a family of calcium-binding proteins. Data from protein and cDNA sequencing have shown that at least five distinct but closely related mammalian annexins exist each of which possesses four or eight homologous internal repeats which may be calcium-and phospholipid-binding domains. The proteins are present within a wide range of tissues and cell types, with each cell type having all or a subset of the proteins. The proteins are localised on the inner surface of the plasma membrane associated with the cytoskeleton and in some cases also with intracellular structures. Some members of the family are major substrates for tyrosine and serine kinases. The precise functions of the proteins are unknown but they are likely to play important roles in cellular regulation. Previously suggested functions are inhibition of phospholipase A2, membrane-cytoskeletal linkage and control of membrane fusion events in exocytosis. It is also suggested that they may be involved in the regulation of cell surface receptors.

Abstract
Two methods for extracting calelectrin, a Ca2+-regulated membrane-binding protein from the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata, have been compared and the more promising one was modified to increase the yield to 7-8 mg.kg-1 wet weight of tissue, that is 4-5 times greater than the original method. The calelectrin so obtain could be resoloved into a minor component (designated L-calelectrin) eluted from an anion-exchange column at relatively low ionic strength (100 mM NaCl) and a major component (H-calelectrin) eluted at higher ionic strength (300 mM NaCl). The two forms were also separated by chromatography on a hydrophobic resin. Electrophoresis on cellulose acetate indicated that L-calelectrin had a lower mean isoelectric point that the H-form and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate showed that under reducing conditions (presence of 5% beta-mercaptoethanol) both forms migrated as single species, the L-form having a lower apparent relative molecular mass (Mr 32,000) that the H-form (34,000). Under non-reducing conditions, there was no change in the migration of L-calelectrin but the H-form was resolved into two components of Mr 34,000 and 32,000. The addition of 2 mM Ca2+ had no effect on the migration of either form. Both forms were equally recognized by an anti-calelectrin antiserum and were microheterogeneous with respect to their isoelectric points (pH 4.3-5.5) in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Physical measurements were carried out on the major H-form. The Stokes radius was estimated to be 3nm, corresponding to an apparent Mr of 44,000. It was unaffected by changes in ionic strength, pH or Ca2+ concentration. Analytical ultracentrifugation gave a sedimentation constant of 2.9 S and an apparent Mr of 36,000. Measurements of circular dichroism indicated that 78% of the molecule was in the alpha-helix configuration and 22% in random coil. Ca2+ had no significant effect on the conformation.

Abstract
Calcium-binding (-dependent) proteins (CBPs) associated with the spreading of mammary epithelial cell cultures have been identified as various calelectrins and calpactins (p36). In immunoblot analysis, the CBPs of 30-36 kD and 68-70 kD variously react with different calelectrin and calpactin I monomer/p36 antisera. The same immunoreactive proteins were shown to be present in virgin mammary glands and collagen gel mouse mammary epithelial cell cultures. The mammary CBPs show extensive immunochemical relatedness; however, they fail to show cross-reaction with antiserum to calpactin II (lipocortin) antiserum. These immunoreactive CBPs comigrate in electrophoresis with 35S-methionine-labeled CBPs isolated from mammary epithelial cell cultures. Unlike calmodulin, the mammary CBPs that correspond to calelectrins and calpactin I monomer/p36 are not stable to thermal denaturation. The mammary CBPs bind to epithelial cell membranes in a Ca2+-dependent manner and are differentially released from ruptured cells, compared with calmodulin, suggesting subcellular localization. Phenothiazine-agarose and phenylagarose are equivalent in their ability to bind the mammary CBPs. Thus, mammary gland CBPs of 30-36 kD and 68-70 kD have been shown to be related or equivalent to the calelectrins and to calpactin I monomer/p36. Since these proteins are known to bind Ca2+, we conclude that the mammary gland CBPs are also Ca2+-binding proteins. The mammary gland CBPs are immunologically related and probably represent members of a larger family of related proteins.

Abstract
Microvilli isolated from the MAT-C1 ascites subline of the 13762 rat mammary adenocarcinoma contain a major calcium-sensitive microfilament-binding protein, AMV-p35 (ascites microvillar p35). Association of AMV-p35 with microfilament cores during Triton X-100 extraction of the microvilli is half-maximal at 0.1-0.2 mM calcium. The protein, which comprises 6% of the total microvillar protein, can be isolated from microfilament cores prepared in the presence of calcium by extraction with EGTA and purification by ion-exchange chromatography. Alternatively, the protein can be isolated from Triton extracts of microvilli prepared in the absence of calcium by precipitation with calcium, solubilization of the precipitate with EGTA, and chromatography on an ion-exchange column. AMV-p35 binds to phosphatidylserine liposomes and F-actin with half-maximal calcium concentrations of about 10 microM and 0.2 mM, respectively. Treatment of AMV-p35 with chymotrypsin yields a 33,000-dalton fragment, behavior similar to the tyrosine kinase substrates calpactins I and II and lipocortins I and II. Immunoblot analyses using antibodies directed against calpactin I, lipocortin I, and lipocortin II showed strong reactivity of AMV-p35 with anti-calpactin I and anti-lipocortin II, but little reactivity toward anti-lipocortin I. The close relationship between AMV-p35 and calpactin I was verified by amino acid sequence analyses of peptides isolated from cyanogen bromide digests of AMV-p35. By gel filtration and velocity sedimentation analyses purified AMV-p35 is a 35,000-dalton monomer. Moreover, AMV-p35 extracted directly from microvilli in Triton/EGTA also behaves as a 35,000-dalton menomer. These findings indicate that AMV-p35 is closely related to the pp60src kinase substrate calpactin I (p36). However, AMV-p35 occurs in the microvilli as a monomer rather than as the heterotetrameric calpactin found in several other cell types.

Abstract
A 67 kDa actin-binding protein was isolated from bovine aorta. Partial amino acid sequence determination of two large thermolysin peptides were used to compare 67 kDa bovine aorta protein and p36 the substrate of pp60src tyrosine kinase. Sequence analysis shows that 67 kDa bovine aorta protein shares common domains with p36 and possesses the consensus aminoacid sequences of mammalian Ca2+-dependent membrane-binding protein and p36/gelsolin.

Abstract
Experimental conditions that abolish or reduce to a minimum intercellular contacts between Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells result in the appearance of an intracellular storage compartment for apical membrane proteins. Subconfluent culture, incubation in 1-5 microM Ca++, or inclusion of dissociated cells within agarose or collagen gels all caused the intracellular accumulation of a 184-kD apical membrane protein within large (0.5-5 micron) vacuoles, rich in microvilli. Influenza virus hemagglutinin, an apically targeted viral glycoprotein, is concentrated within these structures but the basolateral glycoprotein G of vesicular stomatitis virus and a cellular basolateral 63-kD membrane protein of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells were excluded. This novel epithelial organelle (VAC), which we designate the vacuolar apical compartment, may play an as yet unrecognized role in the biogenesis of the apical plasma membrane during the differentiation of normal epithelia.

Abstract
Calcium and phospholipid binding proteins have been identified and localized by immunocytochemistry in a wide range of cells and tissues. Two of these proteins (calpactins) also bind F-actin and are substrates for tyrosine kinases. The similar membrane-binding properties of these molecules arise from conserved amino acid sequences and a model is proposed for the tertiary structure of a common calcium and phospholipid binding domain.

Abstract
Spreading of mouse mammary epithelial cells on collagen gels is closely correlated with the synthesis of a group of putative calcium-binding proteins (CBP) (Braslau et al., Exp cell res 155 (1984) 213). Collagen synthesis was shown to occur during cell spreading, while omission of serum prevented cell spreading and the synthesis of collagen. The proline analogues cis-hydroxyproline and L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid were shown to inhibit epithelial cell spreading and to suppress the collagen synthesis that occurs during serum-supported cell spreading. Inhibition of collagen synthesis resulted in the inhibition of CBP synthesis associated with cell spreading. In contrast, the collagen cross-linking inhibitor B-aminopropionitrile did not inhibit cell spreading nor did it suppress collagen synthesis; CBP synthesis was also normal during treatment with this inhibitor. Thus, mammary epithelial cell spreading on collagen gels and CBP synthesis can both be suppressed by inhibition of collagen synthesis indicating that they may be integrated in some manner. It is suggested that inhibition of cell spreading during inhibition of collagen synthesis results from failure to assemble a normal basal lamina; this may in turn signal suppression of CBP synthesis.
