Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that annexin IV, one of the calcium/phospholipid-binding annexin family proteins, binds to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in a calcium-dependent manner (Kojima, K., Yamamoto, K., Irimura, T., Osawa, T., Ogawa, H., and Matsumoto, I. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 7679-7685). In this study, we investigated the GAG binding specificities of annexins IV, V, and VI by affinity chromatography and solid phase assays. Annexin IV was found to bind in a calcium-dependent manner to all the GAG columns tested. Annexin V bound to heparin and heparan sulfate columns but not to chondroitin sulfate columns. Annexin VI was adsorbed to heparin and heparan sulfate columns in a calcium-independent manner, and to chondroitin sulfate columns in a calcium-dependent manner. An N-terminal half fragment (A6NH) and a C-terminal half fragment (A6CH) of annexin VI, each containing four units, were prepared by digestion with V8 protease and examined for GAG binding activities. A6NH bound to heparin in the presence of calcium but not to chondroitin sulfate C, whereas A6CH bound to heparin calcium-independently and to chondroitin sulfate C calcium-dependently. The results showed that annexin IV, V, and VI have different GAG binding properties. Some annexins have been reported to be detected not only in the cytoplasm but also on the cell surface or in extracellular components. The findings suggest that the some annexins function as recognition elements for GAGs in extracellular space.

Abstract
To examine the participation of annexin V, a member of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, in the process of synaptic vesicle exocytosis, rat central nervous tissue was analysed using biochemical and morphological techniques. By both fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy, immunoreactivity for annexin V was predominantly localized around neuronal somata and dendrites, and the reactivity was mostly co-labeled with that for synaptophysin. The annexin V immunoreactivity was also detectable, but less intensely, in neuronal perikarya, glial cells and endothelial cells. Both immunoblot and immunoelectron microscopic analyses with intact tissues, synaptosomes and purified synaptic vesicles showed that annexin V was expressed in neurons, preferentially concentrated in axon terminals and associated with synaptic vesicles. Purified synaptic vesicles were relatively homogeneously distributed in the medium where Ca2+ was removed and thus the amount of annexin V was reduced drastically. The vesicles tended to be clustered in the fraction where endogenous annexin V is maintained, and the clusters were more conspicuous when purified human annexin V was added. Synaptic vesicles forming the clusters were not directly fused with each other but separated by a 10-15 nm gap that corresponded well with the size of single annexin V molecules. In axon terminals, globular structures 12-13 nm in diameter, similar in dimension to annexin V molecules, were distinctly found to be attached to the cytoplasmic surface of both vesicle membranes when the two vesicles were close to each other. These results suggest that annexin V belongs to the group of synaptic vesicle-associated proteins. Although its localization and significance in non-neuronal cells were not analysed here, at least in the axon terminal annexin V may participate in the cluster formation of synaptic vesicles by linking with the cytoplasmic surface of the vesicles in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner.

Abstract
A group of brain acid-soluble proteins (BASPs) is preliminarily characterized. In some respects BASPs are similar to high mobility group (HMG) proteins, but in contrast to HMG, all BASPs are very acidic (pI 4.4-4.6) and show abnormal mobility during SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. BASP2-1 and BASP2-2 are identified as the two forms of neuronal protein GAP-43 (B-50, pp46, F1, neuromodulin). BASP1 and BASP3 are apparently novel brain proteins.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of annexin V, a calcium-dependent phospholipid- and membrane-binding protein, in a human-derived cell line, GL15, was investigated by immunocytochemistry at light and electron microscope levels. Annexin V was found diffusely in the cytoplasm and associated with plasma membranes, membranes delimiting cytoplasmic vacuoles, membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, and filamentous structures the identity of which remains to be established. By immunocytochemistry at the light microscope level and immunochemistry, the expression of annexin V in these cells was found to depend on cellular growth stage, being maximal soon after plating and progressively declining thereafter. However, re-expression of annexin V was observed whenever cell proliferation slowed down or arrested. These findings suggest that annexin V in glioma cells is mostly expressed in connection with cell differentiation. Also, the present ultrastructural data suggest that plasma membranes, membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytoskeleton are prominent sites of action of annexin V in vivo, thus lending support to the possibility that this protein might have a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton elements and/or of the structural organization of membranes.

Abstract
Two calcium-dependent phospholipid- and membrane-binding proteins have been purified from bovine brain. These are termed CaBP33 and CaBP37. Complete sequence analysis has revealed that these two proteins are isoforms of annexin V. Despite an apparent difference of 4 kDa between the two proteins on SDS-PAGE, only two amino-acid substitutions were found. These are, in CaBP33, Ser-36 and Lys-125 and in CaBP37, Thr-36 and Glu-125. This corresponds to a mass difference of 15 Da. This was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometric analysis. Both isoforms can be phosphorylated substoichiometrically in vitro by protein kinase C at residue Thr-22.

Abstract
S-100 protein, a dimeric, Ca(2+)-binding protein of the EF-hand type, interacts with annexin II (p36, the heavy chain of the cytoskeletal protein complex, calpactin I), with p11 (the light and regulatory chain of calpactin I) and with the hetero-tetramer annexin II2-p11(2) (calpactin I) in a Ca(2+)-regulated way, but not with annexins I, V and VI. The interaction of S-100 protein with the above proteins was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy using acrylodan-S-100 protein and acrylodan-annexin II and by cross-linking experiments using the bifunctional cross-linker disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). S-100 protein binds with the highest affinity to annexin II (Kd approx. 0.4 microM) and with the lowest affinity to calpactin I (Kd approx. 10 microM), with a constant stoichiometry of about 2 mol of protein/S-100 dimer. Thus, S-100 protein could substitute for p11 in regulating the activities of annexin II in cells which do not express p11 and/or act synergistically with p11 in cells expressing both p11 and S-100. The binding of S-100 protein to p11 could reflect the natural tendency of S-100 subunits and p11 to dimerize. Chimeric p11-S-100 alpha and p11-S-100-beta proteins could therefore form in a Ca(2+)-regulated way. The interaction of S-100 protein with calpactin I appears of doubtful physiological importance, because of the low binding affinity, of the small extent of fluorescence changes induced by calpactin I in acrylodan-S-100 protein and of lack of DSS-induced complex formation between the two protein species.

Abstract
We investigated the ultrastructural localization of annexin V a Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid- and membrane-binding protein in the nervous system, heart, and skeletal muscles. The results indicate that in the cerebellum the protein is restricted to glial cells, where it is found diffusely in the cytoplasm as well as associated with plasma membranes. Bergmann glial cell bodies and processes and astrocytes in the cerebellar cortex and oligodendrocytes in the cerebellar white matter displayed an intense immune reaction product. In sciatic nerves, the protein was exclusively found in Schwann cells with a subcellular localization similar to that seen in glial cells in the cerebellum. Pituicytes in the neurohypophysis were intensely immunostained, whereas axons were not. In the heart, annexin V was restricted to the sarcolemma, transverse tubules, and intercalated discs. In skeletal muscles the protein was localized to the sarcolemma and transverse tubules. No evidence for the presence of the protein in the sarcoplasm or in association with mitochondria, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, or contractile elements was obtained. The observation that plasma membranes in cells expressing annexin V have the protein associated with them is in agreement with previous data on Ca(2+)-dependent binding of the protein to brain and heart membranes, and on existence of both EGTA- and Triton X-100-extractable and resistant fractions of annexin V in these membranes. The present data support the hypothesis that annexin V might be involved in membrane trafficking and suggest a role for this protein in the regulation of cytoplasmic activities in glial cells.

Abstract
Biological membranes exhibit an asymmetric distribution of phospholipids. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an acidic phospholipid that is found almost entirely on the interior of the cell where it is important for interaction with many cellular components. A less well understood phenomenon is the asymmetry of the neutral phospholipids, where phosphatidylcholine (PC) is located primarily on exterior membranes while phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is located primarily on interior membranes. The effect of these neutral phospholipids on protein-phospholipid associations was examined using four cytoplasmic proteins that bind to membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. With membranes containing PS at a charge density characteristic of cytosolic membranes, protein kinase C and three other proteins with molecular masses of 64, 32, and 22 kDa all showed great selectively for membranes containing PE rather than PC as the neutral phospholipid; the calcium requirements for membrane-protein association of the 64- and 32-kDa proteins were about 10-fold lower with membranes containing PE; binding of the 22-kDa protein to membranes required the presence of PE and could not even be detected with membranes containing PC. Variation of the PS/PE ratio showed that membranes containing about 20% PS/60% PE provided optimum conditions for binding and were as effective as membranes composed of 100% PS. Thus, PE, as a phospholipid matrix, eliminated the need for membranes with high charge density and/or reduced the calcium concentrations needed for protein-membrane association. A surprising result was that PKC and the 64- and 32-kDa proteins were capable of binding to neutral membranes composed entirely of PE/PC or PC only. The different phospholipid headgroups altered only the calcium required for membrane-protein association. For example, calcium concentrations at the midpoint for association of the 64-kDa protein with membranes containing PS, PE/PC, or PC occurred at 6, 100, and 20,000 microM, respectively. Thus, biological probes detected major differences in the surface properties of membranes containing PE versus PC, despite the fact that both of these neutral phospholipids are often thought to provide "inert" matrices for the acidic phospholipids. The selectivity for membranes containing PE could be a general phenomenon that is applicable to many cytoplasmic proteins. The present study suggested that the strategic location of PE on the interior of the membranes may be necessary to allow some membrane-protein associations to occur at physiological levels of calcium and PS.

Abstract
The distribution of annexin V isoforms (CaBP33 and CaBP37) and of annexin VI in bovine lung, heart, and brain subfractions was investigated with special reference to the fractions of these proteins which are membrane-bound. In addition to EGTA-extractable pools of the above proteins, membranes from lung, heart, and brain contain EGTA-resistant annexins V and VI which can be solubilized with detergents (Triton X-100 or Triton X-114). A strong base like Na2CO3, which is usually effective in extracting membrane proteins, only partially solubilizes the membrane-bound, EGTA-resistant annexins analyzed here. Also, only 50-60% of the Triton X-114-soluble annexins partition in the aqueous phase, the remaining fractions being recovered in the detergent-rich phase. Altogether, these findings suggest that, by an as yet unknown mechanism, following Ca(2+)-dependent association of annexin V isoforms and annexin VI with membranes, substantial fractions of these proteins remain bound to membranes in a Ca(2+)-independent way and behave like integral membrane proteins. These results further support the possibility that the above annexins might play a role in membrane trafficking and/or in the regulation of the structural organization of membranes.

Abstract
Protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), which in the normal nervous system is restricted to certain neurons, has been detected in two glioma cell lines, rat C6 and human GL15, by immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry. Its expression in these cells depends on the cellular growth state, being maximal between the first and second post-plating day. Only a faint PGP 9.5 immunoreactivity can be observed in glioma cells after the eleventh post-plating day, i.e. about one week after confluency has been reached. The present results suggest that PGP 9.5 in cultured glial cells is maximally expressed during the growth phase and that the protein could play a role during brain development in glial cells, in reactive gliosis, or in tumorigenesis of the glial lineage.

Abstract
Five proteins having molecular masses of 90, 67, 37, 36, and 32 kDa (p90, p67, p37, p36, and p32, respectively) were identified in the particulate fractions of pig brain cortex and pig spinal cord prepared in the presence of 0.2 mM Ca2+ and further purified using a protocol previously described for the purification of calpactins. Proteins p90, p37, and p36 are related to annexins I and II. Annexin II, represented by p90, is found as an heterotetramer, composed of two heavy chains of 36 kDa and two light chains of 11 kDa, and as a monomer of 36 kDa. Protein p37, which differs immunologically from p36, is a monomer and could be related to annexin I. All three proteins are Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid- and F-actin-binding proteins; they are phosphorylated on a serine and on a tyrosine residue by protein kinases associated with synaptic plasma membranes. Purified p36 monomer and p36 heterotetramer proteins bind to actin at millimolar Ca2+ concentrations. The stoichiometry of p36 binding to F-actin at saturation is 1:2, corresponding to one tetramer or monomer of calpactin for two actin monomers (KD, 3 x 10(-6) M). Synaptic plasma membranes supplemented with the monomeric or tetrameric forms of p36 phosphorylate the proteins on a serine residue. The monomer is phosphorylated on a serine residue by a Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase, whereas the heterotetramer is phosphorylated on a serine residue and a tyrosine residue by Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinases. Antibodies to brain p37 and p36 together with antibodies to lymphocytes lipocortins 1 and 2 were used to follow the distribution of these proteins in nervous tissues. Polypeptides of 37, 34, and 36 kDa cross-react with these antibodies. Anti-p37 and antilipocortin 1 cross-react on the same 37- and 34-kDa polypeptides; anti-p36 and antilipocortin 2 cross-react only on the 36-kDa polypeptides.

Abstract
Porcine heart was observed to express annexins V (CaBP33) and VI in large amounts, and annexins III and IV in much smaller amounts. Annexin V (CaBP33) in porcine heart was examined in detail by immunochemistry. Homogenization and further processing of heart in the presence of EGTA resulted in the recovery of annexin V (CaBP33) in the cytosolic fraction and in an EGTA-resistant, Triton X-100-soluble fraction from cardiac membranes. Including Ca2+ in the homogenization medium resulted in a significant decrease in the annexin V (CaBP33) content of the cytosolic fraction with concomitant increase in the content of this protein in myofibrils, mitochrondria, the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the sarcolemma. The amount of annexin V (CaBP33) in each of these subfractions depended on the free Ca2+ concentration in the homogenizing medium. At the lowest free Ca2+ concentration tested, 0.8 microM, only the sarcolemma appeared to contain bound annexin V (CaBP33). Membrane-bound annexins V (CaBP33) and VI partitioned in two fractions, one EGTA-resistant and Triton X-100-extractable, and one Triton X-100-resistant and EGTA-extractable. Altogether, these data suggest that annexins V and VI are involved in the regulation of membrane-related processes.

Abstract
CaPB33 and CaPB37, two annexins purified from bovine brain, interact with a Triton X-100-resistant fraction (cytoskeleton) from bovine brain membranes in a Ca2(+)-dependent way in vitro. The binding is saturable with respect to the CaBP33-CaBP37 concentration, half-maximal binding occurring at approximately 15 micrograms of the CaBP33-CaBP37 mixture/ml. The binding of these two annexins to the crude cytoskeleton preparation as a function of free Ca2+ concentration is biphasic, with half-maximal binding at approximately 50 microM and approximately 400 microM free Ca2+ for the first and the second component, respectively. By an overlay technique, CaBP33 and CaBP37 bind to a set of low Mr polypeptides (10-20 kDa) in the crude cytoskeleton preparation, with formation of an 85-90 kDa complex as investigated in cross-linking experiments. No binding of the CaBP33-CaBP37 mixture to either G- or F-actin has been observed. Identification of the CaBP33-CaBP37-binding proteins in cytoskeletons would help elucidating the function(s) of these annexins in the brain.
