Abstract
Dicalcin (renamed from p26olf) is a dimer form of S100 proteins found in frog olfactory epithelium. S100 proteins form a group of EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding proteins, and are known to interact with many kinds of target protein to modify their activities. To determine the role of dicalcin in the olfactory epithelium, we identified its binding proteins. Several proteins in frog olfactory epithelium were found to bind to dicalcin in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Among them, 38 kDa and 35 kDa proteins were most abundant. Our analysis showed that these were a mixture of annexin A1, annexin A2 and annexin A5. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that dicalcin and all of these three subtypes of annexin colocalize in the olfactory cilia. Dicalcin was found to be present in a quantity almost sufficient to bind all of these annexins. Colocalization of dicalcin and the three subtypes of annexin was also observed in the frog respiratory cilia. Dicalcin facilitated Ca(2+)-dependent liposome aggregation caused by annexin A1 or annexin A2, and this facilitation was additive when both annexin A1 and annexin A2 were present. In this facilitation effect, the effective Ca(2+) concentrations were different between annexin A1 and annexin A2, and therefore the dicalcin-annexin system in frog olfactory and respiratory cilia can cover a wide range of Ca(2+) concentrations. These results suggested that this system is associated with abnormal increases in the Ca(2+) concentration in the olfactory and other motile cilia.

Abstract
The dissipational quartz crystal microbalance (D-QCM) technology was applied to monitor the adsorption of vesicles to membrane-bound annexin A1 by simultaneously reading out the shifts in resonance frequency and dissipation. Solid-supported membranes (SSMs) composed of a chemisorbed octanethiol monolayer and a physisorbed 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine monolayer were immobilized on the gold electrode of a 5 MHz quartz plate. Adsorption and desorption of annexin A1 to the SSM was followed by means of the QCM technique. After nonbound annexin A1 was removed from solution, the second membrane binding was monitored by the D-QCM technique, which allowed distinguishing between adsorbed and ruptured vesicles. The results show that vesicles stay always intact independent of the amount of bound annexin and the vesicle and buffer composition. It was shown that the vesicle adsorption process to membrane-bound annexin A1 is fully irreversible and is mediated by two-dimensional annexin clusters. For N-terminally truncated annexin A1, a decrease in the amount of bound vesicles was observed, which might be the result of fewer binding sites presented by the annexin A1 core. Supported by computer simulations, the results demonstrate that the vesicle adsorption process is electrostatically driven, but compared to those of sole electrostatic binding, the rate constants of adsorption are 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller, indicating the presence of a potential barrier.

Abstract
Although [Cl(-)](i) regulates many cellular functions including cell secretion, the mechanisms governing these actions are not known. We have previously shown that the apical membrane of airway epithelium contains a 37-kDa phosphoprotein (p37) whose phosphorylation is regulated by chloride concentration. Using metal affinity (chelating Fe(3+)-Sepharose) and anion exchange (POROS HQ 20) chromatography, we have purified p37 from ovine tracheal epithelia to electrophoretic homogeneity. Sequence analysis and immunoprecipitation using monoclonal and specific polyclonal antibodies identified p37 as annexin I, a member of a family of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. Phosphate on [(32)P]annexin I, phosphorylated using both [gamma-(32)P]ATP and [gamma-(32)P]GTP, was labile under acidic but not alkaline conditions. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed the presence of phosphohistidine. The site of phosphorylation was localized to a carboxyl-terminal fragment of annexin I. Our data suggest that cAMP and AMP (but not cGMP) may regulate annexin I histidine phosphorylation. We propose a role for annexin I in an intracellular signaling system involving histidine phosphorylation.

Abstract
Annexin was purified from rat liver mitochondria to an apparent homogeneity with a molecular weight of 35 kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified mitochondrial annexin (AXmito) was identified as annexin I by an immunoblot analysis using anti-annexin I antibody. The inhibitory effect of AXmito I on porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity was as potent as that of bovine lung annexin I. The presence of annexin I in mitochondria was confirmed by an electron-microscopic study. AXmito I was shown to be phosphorylated by intrinsic protein tyrosine kinases on its tyrosine residues. This annexin was also phosphorylated by protein kinase C.

Abstract
Annexins are phospholipid-binding proteins and are abundant in the lung. Annexins I and IV, but not II and VI, have been detected in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids from calves inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica, the pathogen for calf pneumonia. In this study, BAL fluids from calves with experimental pneumonia induced by inoculation to right lung lobes of bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1), the major viral pathogen for pneumonia, were examined for detection of annexins I and IV. Of 6 calves inoculated with BHV-1, annexins I and IV were coincidentally detected in BAL fluids from right lung lobes of 4 calves, but not in BAL fluids from left lung lobes of 6 inoculated calves or those from left and right lung lobes of 3 control calves. Annexin II and VI were not found in any BAL fluids examined. These results, together with previous findings on calves inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica, suggest that the release of annexins I and IV onto the alveolar surface is an essential event occurring in response to pulmonary infections of BHIV-1 and Pasteurella haemolytica.

Abstract
Lipocortin I-like protein with a molecular weight of 94,000 Da as judged by Western analysis was found to bind to ssDNA rather than to dsDNA in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. This protein was also bound to [(32)P]poly(rA) and [(32)P]poly(rG) as measured by EMSA. Poly(rG), poly(rA), poly(dC), and poly(dT) were competitive against binding of either [(32)P]poly(rA) or [(32)P]poly(rG), while poly(rC), poly(rU), and poly(dA) were less effective binding competitors. The binding of this protein to poly(rA) or poly(rG) was inhibited by immunoprecipitable anti-lipocortin I (calpactin II) and anti-S100 protein antibodies, but not by an anti-Ig antibody. Phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol enhanced the binding of lipocortin I to poly(rA). Taken together, our present observations suggest that the lipocortin I-S100 protein heterotetramer binds to either purine RNAs or pyrimidine ssDNAs in a Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-dependent manner.

Abstract
Maintenance of renal function in liver cirrhosis requires increased synthesis of arachidonic acid derived prostaglandin metabolites. Arachidonate metabolites have been reported to be involved in modulation of liver damage. The purpose of the present study was to establish whether the first enzyme of the prostaglandin cascade synthesis, the phospholipase A2(PLA2) is altered in liver cirrhosis induced by bile duct excision. The mRNA of PLA2(group I and II) and annexin-I a presumptive inhibitor of PLA2 enzyme was measured by PCR using glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as an internal standard. The mean mRNA ratio of group II PLA2/GAPDH was increased in liver tissue by 126% (P < 0.001) and in kidney tissue by 263% (P < 0.006) following induction of liver cirrhosis. The increase in group II PLA2 mRNA in cirrhotic animals was reflected by an increase in PLA2 protein and enzyme activity in both liver and kidney tissues. Since the mRNA of group I PLA2 was not detectable and Group IV PLA2 activity measured in liver and kidney tissue samples was very low and not changed following induction of cirrhosis, it is likely that the major PLA2 activity measured in liver and kidney corresponds to group II PLA2 enzyme. The mean mRNA ratio of annexin-I/GAPDH was increased in liver tissue by 115% (P < 0.05) but unchanged in kidney tissue following induction of cirrhosis. The protein content of annexin-I and -V were not affected by bile duct excision in liver and kidney tissue indicating that upregulation of group II PLA2 activity was not due to downregulation of annexin-I or -V. Group II PLA2 activity of glomerular mesangial cells stimulated by interleukin-1 beta was enhanced by bile juice and various bile salts. In conclusion, activity of group II PLA2 is upregulated partly due to enhanced transcription and translation in cirrhosis and is furthermore augmented by elevated levels of bile salts.

Abstract
Affinity chromatography with purified annexins coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B was used to determine the capacity of proteins found in cytosolic fractions of the bovine adrenal medulla to bind to an immobilized annexin in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Several proteins were eluted from a recombinant annexin I column in the presence of 2 mM EGTA, including protein kinase C (PKC), members of the annexin family, and a 26 kDa protein that appeared as the most prominent band on SDS-PAGE. The identities of PKC, annexin I, annexin IV, annexin VI, and annexin VII were confirmed by Western blotting. The 26 kDa protein was purified by anion exchange chromatography on a Poros Q column and determined to be apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) by peptide sequencing. Comigration of apoA-I and chromobindin 2 on two-dimensional gels identified apoA-I as chromobindin 2. Overlay assays were performed to verify the apoA-I-annexin I interaction using apoA-I immobilized on nitrocellulose and annexin I in solution with binding detected using anti-annexin I antiserum. Additionally, the ability of biotin-labeled apoA-I in solution to bind to several purified annexins immobilized on nitrocellulose was determined by detection with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated avidin. Using these methods, it was shown that both annexin I and annexin VII bind to bovine apoA-I in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Other annexins, such as annexin IV and annexin VI, do not exhibit this binding. The results suggest that certain annexins may function as extracellular binding sites for plasma proteins.

Abstract
We have developed a computational method for analyzing the proteolytic products of a protein, knowing its sequence and the amino acid percentages of its products. For all fragments, amino acid percentages are calculated and compared to the experimental results (calculating the error within the experiment). The program keeps the best fitted fragment using a least squared method. This program was written to determine the sequence of the proteolytic products that appeared during the purification of annexin I domain 2. The reliability of the method was verified in this case. However the latter depends on the length and on the amino acid composition of the entire protein and of its fragments. This program may be suitable for analyzing the sequence of the products in any protease digestion, whether designed or accidental.

Abstract
We have isolated choline binding proteins from the plasma membrane fraction fraction of human lung epithelium-derived cell line (A549) by means of detergent solubilization, anion exchange and affinity chromatography. One of the affinity purified proteins had a specific choline binding activity of 44-57 pmol/mg, representing a two to three hundredfold enrichment relative to the specific activity of freshly prepared plasma membranes. The purified protein has a molecular mass of 38 kDa by SDS PAGE analysis and was identified as annexin II by N-terminal microsequencing. Annexin II, however, had not previously been known for choline binding activity. We therefore prepared a mixture of authentic annexins (I-V) from A549 cells. The mixture had a choline binding activity of 15 to 18 pmol/mg. The annexin mixture was subsequently affinity chromatographed on the choline-conjugated Sepharose 6B column. Analyses by SDS PAGE and immunoblot revealed that annexins I, II, and III are bound to the choline column while annexins IV and V did not. These results indicate that some of the annexins have specific choline binding activities.

Abstract
Dithiothreitol (DTT) inhibits the annexin I-mediated aggregation of phosphatidylserine (PS) liposomes, but has no effect on its binding to PS vesicles. Non-reducing SDS gel analysis indicates that intermolecular disulfide bonds between annexin I molecules are not involved in liposome aggregation. However, DTT causes changes in protein conformation of annexin I as monitored by hydrophobic fluorescent dye treatment. The results suggest that the reduction of the intramolecular disulfide bond leads to inhibition of annexin I-mediated liposome aggregation via protein conformational changes.

Abstract
Western blotting and densitometric analysis of extracts obtained from EDTA extraction of skin segments showed greater extracellular Lipocortin 1 (LC1) in skin sites from steroid-treated animals compared to that seen in matched vehicle treated animals. Extracellular LC1 was maximal 3 hr after steroid, less was found in skin after 6 hr and levels had returned to basal at 18 hr. Pre-treatment of rats with the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU38486 (20 mg/kg) prevented the steroid induction of extracellular LC1 at both the 3 and 6 hr time-points. Systemic treatment of rats with betamethasone sodium phosphate (0.1-1 mg/kg) showed that the induction of LC1 on the cell surface was both time- and dose-dependent. Oedema in rat skin caused by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), platelet activating factor (PAF) and zymosan activated serum (ZAS) was assessed using 125I-labelled human serum albumin. Following a 3 hr topical treatment with betamethasone-17-valerate the inflammatory activities of all of the tested stimuli were significantly attenuated demonstrating that at this time-point the topical steroid was biologically active. Topical steroid treatment of the skin resulted in a translocation of LC1 to the cell surface, which was maximal after a 3 hr period and was also temporally associated with the anti-inflammatory effect of these agents.

Abstract
The expression patterns and the dynamic changes in content of both annexin I and annexin II in the rat pancreatic islets during postnatal development were investigated by both western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical methods clearly demonstrated the presence of annexins I and II exclusively in pancreatic islets, while exocrine tissues were not stained by anti-annexin antibodies. Pancreatic islets were diffusely stained with no specific differences in distribution between different cell types. The expression of annexin I in pancreatic islets gradually increased with postnatal development. A developmental study of annexins I and II by western blot analysis essentially supported the results obtained by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the increasing expression of two protein tyrosine kinases, epidermal growth factor-receptor/kinase and pp60src, which phosphorylate annexin I and annexin II, respectively, and of protein kinase C, which phosphorylates both proteins, was also shown during postnatal development in rat pancreatic islets. Thus, a relationship between the expression of annexins I and II and the maturation of islet cell function is suggested.

Abstract
We have developed a novel expression system that allows the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, to be used for the efficient overproduction of heterologous proteins. As an example of the utility of this system, human lipocortin I was expressed to 50 percent of soluble protein, and 150 mg of highly purified material was obtained from 10 grams of wet cell paste. Expression of lipocortin I was driven by the human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) promoter in a vector that also contains a neomycin resistance gene (neo) under the control of the SV40 early promoter, permitting selection for increasing copy-number with increasing concentrations of the antibiotic G418. The purified protein was equivalent to its native counterpart with respect to antigenicity and biochemical properties such as phospholipase A2 inhibition, actin binding and N-terminal acetylation. We have also used this system to produce comparable amounts of other proteins including rat arginase, rat NDP-kinase and human interleukin-6.

Abstract
We previously observed a 38 kDa protein that was a major protein component of the cytosolic extract of pig granulocytes and the dominant substrate of protein kinase C at supra-physiological Ca2+ concentrations. The purified 38 kDa protein itself required Ca2+ to be phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Now we demonstrate that this protein, which is also present in human granulocytes, is identical to lipocortin I. The identification is based on the chromatographic properties and immunoblot of the purified protein which is also a good substrate for tissue transglutaminase. Phosphorylation of lipocortin I by protein kinase C was investigated in granulocytes permeabilized with streptolysin-O. At physiological intracellular Ca2+ concentrations lipocortin I was not phosphorylated at all. At supra-physiological Ca2+ concentrations (0.5 mM), lipocortin I was also not phosphorylated when protein kinase C was translocated to the membrane by treatment of the cells with phorbol myristate acetate. Its phosphorylation was detectable only in control experiments when protein kinase C was activated in the cytosol by the addition of dioleoylglycerol and phosphatidylserine to the permeabilized cells. The data presented show that, in permeabilized granulocytes, Ca(2+)-lipocortin is not formed at physiological Ca2+ concentrations, and at supra-physiological Ca2+ concentrations the Ca(2+)-lipocortin I is not accessible to protein kinase C bound to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the N-terminal tail by protein kinase C strongly inhibits the ability of bovine or human annexin I to aggregate chromaffin granules by increasing the calcium requirement 4-fold (Wang, W., & Creutz, C. E. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 9934-9936). In the present study three forms of human annexin I truncated in the amino terminus at residue Trp-12, Lys-26, or Lys-29 exhibit dramatic differences in their sensitivities to calcium in a chromaffin granule aggregation assay, while the [Ca2+](1/2)max values for binding of the truncated proteins to granule membranes are similar. Cleavage at Trp-12 causes a 3-fold decrease in calcium sensitivity in the membrane aggregation assay, while cleavage at Lys-26 causes a 4-fold enhancement of calcium sensitivity. In contrast, cleavage at Lys-29 results in virtually no change in calcium sensitivity. Mutagenic substitution with negatively charged amino acids of Ser-27, a site for phosphorylation by protein kinase C, or Tyr-21, a site for phosphorylation by the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase, mimics the inhibition of granule-aggregating activity seen with phosphorylation by protein kinase C. When bovine chromaffin cells are stimulated to secrete by nicotine, annexin I is phosphorylated in the amino terminus. Thr-24 and Ser-28, which are sites for phosphorylation by protein kinase C in vitro, are two of the sites phosphorylated in vivo in stimulated chromaffin cells. These data demonstrate that the ability of annexin I to promote membrane aggregation is highly sensitive to changes in the structure of the N-terminal domain of the protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Previously we have purified annexin 1 [J. Neurochem. 56 (1991) 1985-1986] from pig cerebral cortex as a monomeric protein of 37 kDa. Here, the localization of annexin 1 was investigated in subcellular fractionations of rat cerebral cortex using immunodetection by a specific antibody. In contrast to synaptophysin, a specific synaptic vesicle integral membrane protein, annexin 1 is located in the synaptic plasma membrane fraction where it appears on SDS-PAGE as a polypeptide of 74 kDa. Annexin 1 is extracted also as a 74 kDa polypeptide from the purified synaptic plasma membranes. These results suggest for the 74 kDa molecular form an enzymatic dimerization of annexin 1 when associated to the membrane.

Abstract
By means of selective extraction in a Ca(2+)-chelating medium and immunoblotting, four annexins (I, II, V, and VI) were identified in both isolated rat renal glomeruli and rat glomerular mesangial cells. Upon 32P labeling of these cells in culture, annexin I was immunoprecipitated using a specific polyclonal antibody and was found to incorporate radioactivity in a constitutive manner. However, as with epidermal growth factor (200 ng/ml), addition of angiotensin II (10(-7) M), arginine-vasopressin (10(-7) M), or endothelin I (10(-7) M) resulted in a 2-3-fold stimulation of annexin I phosphorylation. The basal phosphorylation as well as the stimulating effect of angiotensin II were also detected by immunoblotting annexin extracts using an antiphosphotyrosine antibody. In addition, among various phosphotyrosyl proteins isolated from EGTA extracts by adsorption onto an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody, annexin I was specifically recognized by Western blotting using a monoclonal anti-annexin I antibody, and displayed the same increase upon cell stimulation with angiotensin II. Moreover, thin layer chromatographic analysis of phosphoamino acids present in immunoprecipitated [32P]annexin I showed an exclusive labeling of phosphotyrosine residue(s). Finally, the effect of angiotensin II was detectable after 10 min, maximal at 6 h, and present until 12 h of incubation. Using 12-h stimulation, tyrosine phosphorylation of annexin I displayed a maximum at 10(-7) to 10(-6) M angiotensin II. These data report for the first time the stimulation of annexin I tyrosine phosphorylation by biologically active peptides acting via receptors belonging to the superfamily of seven hydrophobic domain, G-protein-linked receptors, which lack an intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase. This suggests a possible role of annexin I in the mitogenic effect of angiotensin II, arginine-vasopressin, and endothelin I, which was previously observed on rat glomerular mesangial cells as well as on other cells.

Abstract
In vitro phosphorylation of annexin 1 by purified rat brain protein kinase C (PKC) has been studied in the presence of annexin 5, which is not a substrate for PKC. Annexin 5 promoted a dose-dependent inhibition of annexin 1 phosphorylation, which could be overcome by increasing the concentration of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). In addition, a close relationship was found between the amount of PtdSer uncovered by annexin 5 and the residual phosphorylation of annexin 1. These data fit with the 'surface depletion model' explaining the antiphospholipase activity of annexins. In order to check the possibility that the in vitro effect of annexin 5 could be of some physiological relevance, annexins 1, 2, and 5, as well as the light chain of calpactin 1 (p11), have been quantified in human endothelial cells by measuring the radioactivity bound to the proteins after Western blotting with specific antibodies and 125I-labelled secondary antibody. Our data indicate that annexins 1 and 5, PKC and PtdSer are present in human endothelial cells in relative amounts very similar to those used in vitro under conditions permitting the detection of the inhibitory effect of annexin 5. Since annexin 1 remained refractory to PKC-dependent phosphorylation in intact cells, we suggest that annexin 5 might exert its inhibitory effect towards PKC in vivo, provided that its binding to phospholipids can occur at physiological (micromolar) concentrations of Ca2+. This was previously shown to occur in vitro using phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidic acid vesicles [Blackwood and Ernst (1990) Biochem. J. 266, 195-200]. Using identical assay conditions, which also allowed expression of PKC activity, annexin 5 again inhibited annexin 1 phosphorylation without interfering with PKC autophosphorylation. These data suggest that annexins 1 and 5 might interact with each other on the lipid surface, resulting in a specific inhibition of annexin 1 phosphorylation by PKC. Whether a similar mechanism also occurs in vivo remains to be determined.

Abstract
Human placental annexin I and annexin II were shown to be glycosylated by one-dimensional affinity blotting with the lectin concanavalin A, which recognizes D-mannose and D-glucose residues. Further evidence that annexin I and annexin II are glycosylated was provided by the finding that these proteins incorporated D-[2,6-3H]mannose and D-[6-3H]glucose when they were biosynthesized by the human squamous carcinoma cell line SqCC/Y1. Annexin I and annexin II could be rapidly purified from a human placental membrane extract by concanavalin A-Sepharose, which indicated that these proteins contain two biantennary mannosyl residues.

Neither protein was capable of binding to a DEAE-5PW HPLC column at neutral pH; however, they were resolved through binding to a Mono S column and passage through size-exclusion HPLC columns. Annexin I and its covalently linked dimer (36 and 66 kDa, respectively, by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-gel electrophoresis) reacted in one-dimensional immunoblots with monoclonal antibodies to annexin I and calpactin II, and with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to lipocortin I, confirming that annexin I, calpactin II, and lipocortin I are the same or closely related proteins. Milligram amounts of monomeric annexin I containing negligible amounts of the cross-linked dimeric annexin I were selectively isolated from placental membranes by using buffers containing the sulfhydryl reagent iodoacetic acid. Milligram amounts of cross-linked annexin I were selectively isolated when placental membranes were initially treated with buffers that did not contain iodoacetic acid and then extracted with Triton X-100, suggesting that sulfhydryl-dependent transglutaminase activity contributes to the selective isolation of this protein. A third phospholipase A2-inhibitory protein (35 kDa by SDS-gel electrophoresis) that reacted in immunoblots with monoclonal antibodies to calpactin I and annexin II, indicating their similar identity, was isolated. The procedure employed allows the rapid purification of annexins I and II in milligram amounts from placental membranes within 2 days.
