Abstract
Ruminal epithelium adapts to dietary change with well-coordinated alterations in metabolism, proliferation, and permeability. To further understand the molecular events controlling diet effects, the aim of this study was to evaluate protein expression patterns of ruminal epithelium in response to various feeding regimes. Sheep were fed with a concentrate-supplemented diet for up to 6 wk. The control group received hay only. Proteome analysis with differential in gel electrophoresis technology revealed that, after 2 days, 60 proteins were significantly modulated in ruminal epithelium in a comparison between hay-fed and concentrate-fed sheep (P < 0.05). Forty proteins were upregulated and 20 proteins were downregulated in response to concentrate diet. After 6 wk of this diet, only 14 proteins were differentially expressed. Among these, 11 proteins were upregulated and 3 downregulated. To identify proteins that were modulated by dietary change, two-dimensional electrophoresis was coupled with liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The differential expression of selected proteins, such as esterase D, annexin 5, peroxiredoxin 6, carbonic anhydrase I, and actin-related protein 3, was verified by immunoblotting and/or mRNA analysis. The identified proteins were mainly associated with functions related to cellular stress, metabolism, and differentiation. These results suggest new candidate proteins that may contribute to a better understanding of the signaling pathways and mechanisms that mediate rumen epithelial adaptation to high-concentrate diet.

Abstract
Bovine lactadherin binds to the alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrins in an RGD-dependent manner and also to anionic phospholipids. During the affinity purification of lactadherin binding receptors, a 35-kDa protein persistently coeluted with the alpha(v)beta(5) integrin receptor. Subsequently, peptide mapping, amino acid sequencing, and mass spectrometry analysis identified this protein as bovine annexin-V. Annexin-V accompanied the integrin receptor eluted with either RGD peptide or with EDTA suggesting that annexin-V bound specifically to the alpha(v)beta(5) integrin. To further investigate this putative interaction of annexin-V with the alpha(v)beta(5) integrin receptor, human annexin-V and intracellular domains of the human alpha(v)beta(5) integrin subunits were used in ligand blotting assays. Radiolabeled annexin-V showed weak binding to the intracellular part of beta(5) integrin subunit. However, by adding the aminophospholipid, phosphatidyl serine, the interaction with the beta(5) cytoplasmic peptide was enhanced many fold. Furthermore, the interaction was shown to be independent of phosphorylation, as annexin-V bound to unphosphorylated beta(5) peptide at a similar level to the phosphorylated peptide. Since binding of annexin-V to the alpha(v) integrin subunit tail was not detected, annexin-V was shown to associate specifically with the beta(5) cytoplasmic tail. Together these findings suggest a novel link between annexins and the integrin receptor family.

Abstract
The expression and the subcellular localizations of annexins I, II, IV, VI, and XIII in renal epithelial cells were investigated, using immunological techniques with specific monoclonal antibodies. Upon performing Western blotting experiments, no annexins VI and XIII were detected in kidney, whereas annexins I, II, and IV were. Immunofluorescence labelling procedure performed on thin frozen renal sections showed the presence of these three annexins along the plasma membrane of the collecting duct cells with a restricted expression of annexin I at principal cells. Annexin I was also found present in some glomerular cells. None of these annexins, however, were detected in the proximal tubular cells upon performing immunofluorescence labelling and electrophoretic analysis on an EGTA (ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetic acid)-extractable annexin fraction prepared from freshly isolated cells. This is the first time a mammalian epithelial cell has been found to express non-typical annexin (at least partly solubilized with EGTA). However, when these cells were grown in primary culture, they were found to express annexins I, II, IV, and V. As well as being located along the basolateral membrane, annexins I and II are also present on vesicles, which suggests that these annexins may be involved in vesicular traffic under cell culture conditions.Key words: annexin, kidney, proximal tubule, primary culture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Annexins are a family of structurally related proteins that bind to phospholipid membranes in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Annexins are characterized by highly conserved canonical domains of approximately 70 amino acids. Annexin V contains four such domains. Each of these domains has a highly conserved arginine (R). METHODS To evaluate the role of the conserved arginines in the molecular structure of annexin V, negatively charged amino acids were substituted for arginines at positions R43, R115, R199, and R274 using site-directed mutagenesis. RESULTS Mutants R199D and R274E were rapidly degraded when expressed in bacteria, and were not further characterized. R43E exhibited an electrophoretic mobility similar to the wild-type protein, while R115E migrated significantly in a slower fashion, suggesting a less compact conformation. R43E and R115E exhibited much greater susceptibility to proteolytic digestion than the wild type. While Ca(2+)-dependence for phospholipid binding was similar in both mutants (half-maximal 50-80 microM Ca2+), R43E and R115E exhibited a 6- and 2-fold decrease in phospholipid affinity, respectively. Consistent with the different phospholipid affinities of the annexins, a phospholipid-dependent clotting reaction, the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), was significantly prolonged by the wild-type protein and mutants R115E and R115A. The aPTT was unaffected by R43E. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that mutation of these highly conserved arginine residues in each of the four canonical domains of annexin have differential effects on the phospholipid binding, tertiary structure, and proteolytic susceptibility of annexin V. The site I mutation, R43E, produced a large decrease in phospholipid affinity associated with an increase in proteolytic susceptibility. The site II mutation, R115E, produced a small change in phospholipid binding but a significant modification of electrophoretic mobility. Our data suggest that highly conserved arginine residues are required to stabilize the tertiary structure of annexin V by establishing hydrogen bonds and ionic bridges.

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
In this study, we assessed the role of annexin V, a Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, as a regulator of protein kinase C (PKC) and characterized its mechanism of inhibition. Several mutants obtained by oligonucleotide site-directed mutagenesis were tested in vitro on PKC activity in cytosolic fractions from Jurkat cells and on purified PKCalpha. Annexin V inhibited phosphorylation of annexin II by endogenous PKC and phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by PKCalpha. In both systems, the use of single Ca2+-binding-site mutants of annexin V led to a partial reversal of inhibition, and the Ca2+-binding site located in the first domain of annexin V was found to have the most important role. An increase in the number of mutated Ca2+-binding sites led to a greater loss of inhibition. These results corroborated those showing the progressive loss of binding of these mutants to phospholipid liposomes. In conclusion, we show that PKC inhibition by annexin V is the consequence of a mechanism involving phospholipid sequestration by annexin V, and that the Ca2+-binding site located in domain 1 of annexin V plays a predominant role in this process. In addition, we show that the R122AIK site, which may act analogously to a PKC-inhibitory pseudosubstrate site, is not involved in PKC inhibition, and that a peptide corresponding to the C-terminal tail of annexin V inhibits PKC activity but to a lesser extent than annexin V itself.

Abstract
Annexin I is a 36 kilodalton (kD) calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein which may have anti-inflammatory properties. Previous investigations which sampled lower respiratory tract epithelial lining fluid (ELF) via bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) have demonstrated that annexin I can be degraded in inflammatory lung disease. We analyzed BAL fluid from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to determine the effects of lung inflammation on the structure and activity of annexin I. Intact annexin I was absent in 17 out of 20 BAL fluid samples from patients with CF, due largely to degradation to a 33 kD protein. The three CF BAL fluids in which annexin I was detectable had very little or no unopposed neutrophil elastase activity in contrast to the 17 in which no annexin I was detectable. Annexin I was present in all BAL fluid samples from 10 normal volunteer (NV) subjects and 12 patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The 33 kD annexin I breakdown product was not detectable in samples from NV, but was detectable only in ILD patients with relatively high percentages of neutrophils on BAL differential cell counts. Annexin I appeared to be cleaved by neutrophil elastase at the N-terminal portion between Val-36 and Ser-37 to yield the 33 kD protein. Cleavage of the N-terminal portion of annexin I was accompanied by a marked change in the annexin I isoelectric point (pI) value (from 6.0 to 8.5-9.0) and greatly diminished annexin I functional activity. Our findings demonstrate that annexin I degradation in epithelial lining fluid is closely related to lung inflammation.

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 protein, p33/41, expressed in bovine kidney and many other tissues was identified as a lectin which binds to sialoglycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in a calcium-dependent manner. Partial amino acid sequences of p33/41 are highly homologous to those of calcium/phospholipid-binding annexin protein, annexin IV (endonexin), p33/41 exhibited similar calcium/phospholipid-binding activity (Kojima, K., Ogawa, H., Seno, N., Yamamoto, K., Irimura, T., Osawa, T., and Matsumoto, I. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 20536-20539). To further characterize p33/41, we cloned the p33/41 cDNA and characterized the recombinant protein encoded by this cDNA. Oligonucleotide probes were synthesized based on partial amino acid sequences of p33/41 and used for screening. A p33/41 cDNA clone was isolated encoding a protein of 319 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 35,769 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence was identical to that of bovine annexin IV except for one amino acid substitution. The recombinant protein gave two 33-kDa (p33) and 41-kDa (p41) bands on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-reducing conditions, and only one 33-kDa band under reducing conditions, as did the native protein. Mass spectrometric analysis combined with site-directed mutagenesis of each of the four cysteine residues of the recombinant protein revealed that p41 is a dimer of p33 cross-linked at Cys-198 via a disulfide bond. The recombinant protein bound to columns of heparin and fetuin glycopeptides in a calcium dependent manner and to phospholipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)/PC or phosphatidylinositol (PI)/PC. Furthermore, concurrent binding assays showed that the binding of the recombinant protein to phospholipid vesicles was not affected by heparin, whereas that to heparin was influenced by the phospholipid composition of the vesicles; the highest binding was observed with vesicles composed of PE/PC. These results suggest that p33/41 binds two types of ligands via different sites and that phospholipids modulate the carbohydrate binding activity of p33/41.

Abstract
Interferons play a part in the negative control of cell proliferation of mammalian cells. Here a natural interferon has been isolated from soluble proteins secreted by secondary murine embryonic fibroblasts using Blue Sepharose chromatography, immunoaffinity exclusion and Q Sepharose ion exchange fractionation. Partial amino acid sequencing assigns it to the interferon alpha family. Its biological and physico-chemical properties single it out from all other murine alpha interferons. The embryonic interferon has stronger antiproliferative activity, is acid labile, has stronger affinity for Blue Sepharose and weak affinity for antibodies which recognise other murine interferon alpha subtypes.

Abstract
We have cloned the full coding cDNA sequence of chicken annexin V and of a mutant lacking 8 amino acid residues of the N-terminal tail for prokaryotic expression. Both proteins were synthesized in Escherichia coli upon induction with isopropyl thio-beta-D-galactoside, and were purified following two different protocols: one based on the ability of these proteins to interact reversibly with liposomes in the presence of calcium, and the other based on two sequential ion-exchange chromatographic steps. Spectroscopical analysis of recombinant annexin V revealed that binding of calcium did not change the circular dichroism spectra indicating no significant changes on the secondary structure; however, a conformational change affecting the exposition to the solvent of the tryptophan residue 187 was detected by analysis of fluorescence emission spectra. Recombinant annexin V binds with high affinity to collagen types II and X, and with lower affinity to collagen type I in a calcium-independent manner. Heat denaturing of collagen decreases this interaction while pepsin-treatment of collagen almost completely abolishes annexin V binding. Mutated annexin V interacts with collagen in a similar way as the nonmutated recombinant protein, indicating that the N-terminal tail of annexin V is not essential for collagen binding.

Abstract
Annexin V is a phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C inhibitory protein with calcium channel activity and an undefined role in cellular signal transduction, inflammation, growth and differentiation. Three genomic clones for human annexin V (ANX5) were characterized by restriction analysis, Southern blotting and sequencing. ANX5 spans at least 29 kb of the human genome and contains 13 exons ranging in length from 44 to 513 bp and 12 introns from 232 bp to 8 kb. The absence of a typical TATA box and the presence of high G+C content and Sp1-binding sites in its promoter characterize it as a 'housekeeping' gene and account for its broad pattern of expression. Potential binding sites for cis-regulatory elements identified in the 5'-upstream region of annexin V are consistent with its known regulation by oncogenic and growth-related stimuli. ANX5, like its chick homologue, differs from the genes encoding annexins I, II and III in features of its promoter and in the size of its exons 1, 2 and 3 in ways that may impart individuality to its regulation and function.

Abstract
Calpactin I, a heterotetrameric, cytoskeletal protein complex composed of two copies of annexin II cross-linked by two copies of p11, an S100-like protein, binds to the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and cosediments with glial filaments (GF) in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, apparently without affecting GFAP polymerization under the present experimental conditions. Cosedimentation of calpactin I with GF, which occurs at micromolar free Ca2+ concentrations, is proportional to the concentrations of both calpactin I and GFAP and does not occur under conditions where GFAP assembly is maximally inhibited by, e.g., S100 protein. Annexin II also cosediments with GF and binds to GFAP, although to much smaller extents. Other annexins, such as annexins I, V, and VI, or p11 do not bind to either GF or GFAP. Calpactin I and S100 protein bind to different sites on GFAP, as investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy using acrylodan-labeled GFAP. Calpactin I and S100 protein might act, in the presence of Ca2+, in a concerted manner to determine the number and topography of GF in differentiating and/or mature glial cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to use the immunoblotting methods to study the 36 kDa calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein (PLBP) in the adult and fetal rabbit lungs to gain insight into the significance of this protein in lung development. The identity of the 36 kDa PLBP and the antigen specificity of the antiserum raised against this protein in the guinea pig were tested against known annexins and antibodies to the annexins. Our results showed that the rabbit lung 36 kDa PLBP contained only one protein which cross-reacted with antibodies against annexin 1. However, the 36 kDa PLBP was slightly smaller (36 vs. 37 kDa) and more acidic (pI 6.0 vs. 6.9) than the recombinant human annexin 1. The guinea pig antiserum only reacted with annexin 1, not with any of the other annexins tested. In the cytosolic fractions of the lung and the alveolar epithelial type II cells, and in the lung lavage fluid, the 36 kDa PLBP was by far the most prominent protein with minor presence of a 33 kDa protein recognized by the guinea pig antiserum. The amount of the 36 kDa PLBP of type II cells was 55% higher than that in the lung tissue and 2.6-times higher than that in the lung lavage (9.3 +/- 0.62, 6.0 +/- 0.31 and 3.6 +/- 0.04 micrograms/mg protein, respectively). The 36 kDa PLBP appeared in the fetal rabbit lungs as early as at 21 days gestation and increased 2-fold to reach the adult level at 27 days gestation (term 31 days). The high content of PLBP in type II cells and the rapid increase in this protein in the fetal lungs at late gestations suggest an important role of the 36 kDa PLBP in lung development and surfactant biogenesis.

Abstract
14-3-3 proteins are apparently ubiquitous eukaryotic proteins that comprise a large number of isoforms. They have been implicated in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes [reviewed in Aitken et al. (1992) Trends Biochem. Sci. 17, 498-501]. We have raised specific antibodies against each mammalian brain isoform of 14-3-3 employing peptides synthesised from the amino-terminal regions. The peptides were, like the proteins from mammalian brain, N-acetylated. The antiserum specific for the epsilon isoform did not recognise the recombinant form of this protein (lacking the N-acetyl co-translational modification) expressed in E. coli until it was chemically acetylated.

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.
