Chemical characterization of cell-CAM 105, a cell-adhesion molecule isolated from rat liver membranes.
Cell-CAM 105, a glycoprotein that is involved in recognition and adhesion between isolated rat hepatocytes in vitro, was purified to homogeneity by a combination of immunoaffinity chromatography, gel-exclusion chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. Electrophoretic, compositional and enzymic analyses were performed and the glycoprotein was shown to consist of two peptide chains, of appa...
متن کاملCharacterization of N-glycans from mouse brain neural cell adhesion molecule.
The N-glycosylation pattern of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), isolated from brains of newborn mice, has been analyzed. Following digestion with trypsin, generated glycopeptides were fractionated by serial immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing polysialic acid (PSA) units or the HNK1-carbohydrate epitope. Subsequent analyses of t...
متن کاملPresence of neural cell adhesion molecule on human embryonic and brain tumours.
Development and maintenance of tissue organization in complex organisms has long been suspected to involve altered cell surface interactions between adjacent cells. Similarly, the process of tumour metastasis undoubtedly requires the expression of appropriate attachment sites for the embedding and subsequent proliferation of secondary turnours. Exciting developments in molecular cell biology ar...
متن کاملHighly purified synaptosomal membranes from rat brain. Preparation and characterization.
Synaptosomal plasma membranes were isolated from whole rat brain by a method derived from several existing ones. The procedure involves the sequential centrifugation of a crude mitochondrial fraction through a discontinuous sucrose gradient and a continuous cesium chloride gradient. The material is then subjected to osmotic lysis and centrifuged through an additional discontinuous sucrose gradi...
متن کاملBinding properties of a cell adhesion molecule from neural tissue.
We have previously identified and purified a cell surface glycoprotein from retina and brain, called neural cell adhesion molecule or N-CAM, that appears to be involved in neural cell--cell adhesion, the fasciculation of neurites, and the formation of normal tissue patterns in the retina. The present studies reveal that artificial vesicles containing lipid and purified N-CAM bind to different c...
