Lumenal location of the microsomal beta-glucuronidase-egasyn complex
Mouse liver beta-glucuronidase is stabilized within microsomal vesicles by complexation with the accessory protein egasyn. The location of the beta-glucuronidase-egasyn complex and free egasyn within microsomal vesicles was investigated. Surprisingly, it was found that neither the complex nor free egasyn are intrinsic membrane components. Rather, both are either free within the vesicle lumen or...
متن کاملEgasyn, a protein which determines the subcellular distribution of beta-glucuronidase, has esterase activity.
The glycoprotein egasyn complexes with and stabilizes precursor beta-glucuronidase in microsomes of several mouse organs. Several observations indicate egasyn is, in addition, an esterase. Liver homogenates of egasyn-positive strains have specific electrophoretically separable esterases which are absent in egasyn-negative mice. These esterases react with anti-egasyn serum. A specific esterase w...
متن کاملRelationships between levels of membrane-bound glucuronidase and the associated protein egasyn in mouse tissues
Mouse beta-glucuronidase has a dual intracellular localization, being present in both endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes of several tissues. Previous studies demonstrated that the protein egasyn is complexed with microsomal but not lysosomal glucuronidase and that a mutant lacking egasyn is deficient in microsomal, but not lysosomal, glucuronidase. By means of a recently developed radioimmunoa...
متن کاملLumenal Location of the Microsoma113-Glucuronidase-Egasyn Complex
Mouse liver l~-glucuronidase is stabilized within microsomal vesicles by complexation with the accessory protein egasyn. The location of the 13-glucuronidase-egasyn complex and free egasyn within microsomal vesicles was investigated. Surprisingly, it was found that neither the complex nor free egasyn are intrinsic membrane components. Rather, both are either free within the vesicle lumen or onl...
متن کاملInvolvement of the carboxyl-terminal propeptide of beta-glucuronidase in its compartmentalization within the endoplasmic reticulum as determined by a synthetic peptide approach.
The proenzyme form of beta-glucuronidase is compartmentalized in large quantities within the endoplasmic reticulum by binding to the esterase, egasyn. Also, the propeptide of the proenzyme form of beta-glucuronidase is likely located at the carboxyl terminus. We have, therefore, tested if this carboxyl-terminal peptide is important in binding to egasyn. A polyclonal antibody to a 30-mer synthet...
