  • doppel is an n glycosylated Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored protein expression in testis and ectopic production in the brains ofprnp 0 0 mice predisposed to purkinje cell loss
    Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
    Co-Authors: Gregory L Silverman, Stanley B Prusiner, Richard C Moore, Peter Mastrangelo, Ying Yang, Patrick Tremblay, Fred E Cohen, D Westaway
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Prnd gene encodes a homolog of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) called doppel (Dpl). Up-regulation of Prnd mRNA in two distinct lines of PrP gene ablated (Prnp 0/0) mice, designatedRcm0 and Ngsk, is associated with death of Purkinje cells. Using recombinant Dpl expressed in Escherichia coli and mouse neuroblastoma cells we demonstrate that wild type (wt) Dpl, like PrPC, adopts a predominantly α-helical conformation, forms intramolecular disulfide bonds, has twoN-linked oligosaccharides, and is presented on the cell surface via a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. Dpl protein was detected in testis of wt mice. Using Triton X-114 phase partitioning to enrich for Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins, Dpl was detected in brain samples from Rcm0 Prnp 0/0mice but was absent in equivalent samples from wt mice and ZrchI Prnp 0/0 mice, indicating that ectopic expression of this protein may cause cerebellar pathology in Rcm0 mice. Biochemical and structural similarities between PrPC and Dpl documented here parallel the observation that ataxic Ngsk Prnp 0/0 mice can be rescued by overexpression of wild-type PrP transgenes, and suggest that cell surface PrPC can antagonize the toxic effect of Dpl expressed in the central nervous system.

  • expression of a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored trypanosoma brucei transferrin binding protein complex in insect cells
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1994
    Co-Authors: Maliha Chaudhri, Dietmar Steverding, Dorothee Kittelberger, Sian Tjia, Peter Overath
    Abstract:

    Abstract The expression site-associated gene ESAG 6 was previously implicated in transferrin binding in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. ESAG 6 and the closely related ESAG 7 of T. brucei strain AnTat1.3 have now been expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Expression of ESAG 6 alone in insect cells gives rise to a glycosylated protein of approximately 52 kDa, which is cell surface-associated through a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor at its C terminus. The ESAG 7 product of about 42 kDa is also glycosylated, but lacks the Glycosylphosphatidylinositol modification, and is located intracellularly. No transferrin-binding activity is observed when either ESAG is expressed independently. However, their expression results in a cell surface complex of ESAG 6 and 7 products that specifically binds transferrin. This shows that both ESAG 6 and 7 products are necessary and sufficient for binding to transferrin.
