Functional implications of corticosteroid-binding globulin N-glycosylation
Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) is a plasma carrier of glucocorticoids. Human and rat CBGs have six N-glycosylation sites. Glycosylation of human CBG influences its steroid-binding activity, and there are N-glycosylation sites in the reactive center loops (RCLs) of human and rat CBGs. Proteolysis of the RCL of human CBG causes a structural change that disrupts steroid binding. We now show...
متن کاملN-glycans modulate the function of human corticosteroid-binding globulin.
Human corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), a heavily glycosylated protein containing six N-linked glycosylation sites, transports cortisol and other corticosteroids in blood circulation. Here, we investigate the biological importance of the N-glycans of CBG derived from human serum by performing a structural and functional characterization of CBG N-glycosylation. Liquid chromatography-tandem ...
متن کاملGlycosylation of human corticosteroid-binding globulin at aspargine 238 is necessary for steroid binding.
Human corticosteroid binding-globulin (CBG) is a plasma glycoprotein that binds and regulates the biological activity of glucocorticoids and progesterone. Carbohydrates comprise approximately 25% of its molecular mass being represented by bi- and triantennary N-linked oligosaccharides of the N-acetyllactosamine type. To assess the impact of these carbohydrate chains on CBG production and steroi...
متن کاملCorticosteroid-Binding Globulin: Structure-Function Implications from Species Differences
Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) transports glucocorticoids and progesterone in the blood and thereby modulates the tissue availability of these hormones. As a member of the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) family, CBG displays a reactive center loop (RCL) that is targeted by proteinases. Cleavage of the RCL is thought to trigger a SERPIN-typical stressed-to-relaxed (S-to-R) transition t...
متن کاملSpecific binding of human corticosteroid-binding globulin to cell membranes.
Specific binding sites for corticosteroid-binding globulin were detected on membranes prepared from human prostates. The binding sites are typical of membrane receptors: they are saturable and specific and have high affinity. There was little specific binding at 4 degrees C and 23 degrees C. Maximal specific binding was obtained at 37 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of a sin...
