Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new class of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule, the family of ligands that binds this new class of receptor, and uses of such receptors and ligands.
- the members of this new class of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule are proteoglycans and/or possess an extracellular carbonic anhydrase structural domain.
- the characterization of one member of this new class, RPTP/5, is described in the working examples presented herein.
- the ligands which bind the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases of the invention are members of the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) family of extracellular molecules.
- CAM cell adhesion molecule
- Extracellular molecules As a means by which to receive stimuli from their immediate environment. These extracellular signals are essential for the correct regulation of such diverse cellular processes as differentiation, contractility, secretion, cell division, contact inhibition, and metabolism.
- the extracellular molecules which can include, for example, hormones, growth factors, or neurotransmitters, act as ligands that bind specific cell surface receptors. The binding of these ligands to their receptors triggers a cascade of reactions that brings about both the ampli ⁇ fication of the original stimulus and the coordinate regulation of the separate cellular processes mentioned above.
- a central feature of this process is the reversible phosphorylation of certain proteins.
- the phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of amino acid residues triggers conformational changes in regulated proteins that alter their biological properties.
- Proteins are phosphorylated by protein kinases and are dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases. Protein kinases and phosphatases are classified according to the amino acid residues they act on, with one class being serine-threonine kinases and phosphatases
- the protein kinases and phospha ⁇ tases may be further defined as being receptors, i.e., the enzymes are an integral part of a transmembrane, ligand-binding molecule, or as non-receptors, meaning they respond to an extracellular molecule indirectly by being acted upon by a ligand-bound receptor.
- Phosphorylation is a dynamic process involving competing phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions, and the level of phosphorylation at any given instant reflects the relative activities, at that instant, of the protein kinases and phosphatases that catalyze these reactions.
- PTPases protein tyrosine phosphatases
- the non-receptor class is composed of low molecular weight, cytosolic, soluble proteins. All known non-receptor PTPases contain a single conserved catalytic phosphatase domain of approximately 230 amino acid residues.
- the receptor class is made up of high molecular weight, receptor-linked PTPases, termed RPTPases.
- RPTPases Structurally resembling growth factor receptors, RPTPases consist of an extracellular, putative ligand- binding domain, a single transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain (reviewed in Fischer et al. , 1991, Science 253:401-406) .
- the intracellular segments of almost all RPTPases are very similar. These intracellular segments consist of two catalytic phosphatase domains of the type described above, separated by an approximately 58 amino acid residue segment.
- This two domain motif is usually located approximately 78 to 95 amino acid residues from the transmembrane segment and is followed by a relatively short carboxy-terminal amino acid sequence.
- the only known exception is the isoform HPTP/3 (Krueger, N.X. et al. , 1990, EMBO J. 9_:3241), which contains only one catalytic phosphatase domain.
- RPTPase extracellular domains are highly divergent.
- certain RPTPases possess a heavily glycosylated external domain and a conserved cysteine-rich region (Thomas, M.L. et al.. 1985, Cell 1:83; Thomas, M.L. et al. , 1987, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84 . :5360; Ralph, S.J. et al.. 1987, EMBO J. 6 :1251-1257) while others contain immunoglobulin G-like (Ig) domains linked to fibronectin type III repeats (Streuli, M. et al..
- RPTPases contains only multiple fibronectin type III repeats (Krueger, N.X. et al.. 1990, EMBO J. 9:3241), while certain RPTPases have smaller external domains that contain several potential glycosylation sites (Jirik, F.R. et al. , 1990, FEBS Lett. 273:239) .
- the ligands that regulate RPTPs have not been identified. It has been speculated that circulating extracellular factors are unlikely to bind to those receptors containing Ig and/or fibronectin Type III repeats and that interaction with other surface antigens, perhaps on other cells, is more likely to be the case with these receptors.
- tyrosine-specific phosphatase genes are candidate recessive oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.
- the human RPTPase, RPTP7 has been shown to map to a chromosomal region, 3pl4-21, which is frequently deleted in renal cell and lung carcinomas (LaForgia, S. et al.. 1991, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA ⁇ 8 . :5036-5040) .
- the present invention relates to a new class of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule, to the family of ligands that binds this new class of receptor, and to the uses of such receptors and ligands.
- the members of this new class of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule are proteoglycans and/or possess an extracellular carbonic anhydrase structural domain.
- RPTPjS The characterization of one such receptor molecule, RPTPjS, is described in the working examples presented herein.
- the ligands which bind the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases of the invention are members of the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) family of extracel- lular molecules.
- CAM cell adhesion molecule
- the discovery that CAMs bind receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases represents the first identification of a natural ligand for this type of receptor. Binding of two CAMs, namely N-CAM and Ng-CAM, to the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases of the invention is demonstrated in the working examples presented herein.
- the receptors and the receptor-binding ligands of the invention may be used to develop compounds and strategies for modulating cellular processes under the control of the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases.
- Such processes include, but are not limited to, normal cellular functions such as differentiation, metabolism, cell cycle control, and neuronal function; cellular behavior such as motility and contact inhibition, in addition to abnormal or potentially deleterious processes such as virus-receptor interactions, inflammation, cellular transformation to a cancerous state, and the development of Type 2, insulin Independent, diabetes mellitus.

- This invention involves a new class of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule whose members are proteoglycans and/or possess an extracellular carbonic anhydrase structural domain.
- CAMs cell adhesion molecules
- the receptor and the receptor-binding ligands of the invention may be used to develop compounds and strategies for modulating cellular processes under the control of the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases.
- Such processes include, but are not limited to, normal cellular functions such as differentiation, metabolism, cell cycle control, and neuronal function; cellular behaviors such as motility, contact inhibition, and signal transduction; in addition to abnormal or potentially deleterious processes such as virus-receptor interactions, inflam ⁇ mation, cellular transformation to a cancerous state, and the development of Type 2, insulin independent diabetes mellitus.
- the RPTPases of the invention that are proteoglycans may be modified with macromolecules composed of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains (glycans) covalently bound to the RPTPase protein core.
- GAG components may consist of such units as hexosamine (D- glucosamine (GlcN) or D-galactosamine (GalN) ) , and either hexuronic acid (HexA; D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) or L-iduronic acid (IdoA)) or galactose units (as in keratin sulfate) that are arranged in alternating, unbranched sequence, and carry sulfate substituents in various positions.
- GAG components may consist of such units as hexosamine (D- glucosamine (GlcN) or D-galactosamine (GalN) ) , and either hexuronic acid (Hex
- the glycan backbones of the RPTPase molecules may include, but are not limited to, a basic structure composed of (HexA-GalN) n , (HexA- GlcN) n , or (Gal-GlcN) n disaccharide units. While these structures connote the basic structure of the RPTPase modifications, such modifications may also contain marked heterogeneity within as well as between the individual polysaccharide chains. Such heterogeneity is an expected byproduct of the mechanism of GAG biosynthesis, and may include, but is not limited to differences in sulfate substitutions along the chain and epimerization of one unit to another (GlcA to IdoA, for example) .
- At least one glycan chain must be attached to the protein core of each proteoglycan RPTPase.
- Glycan chains may, but are not required to, be attached to the protein core at the serine (Ser) amino acid residue of the sequence, Ser-Gly-X-Gly, where Gly is a glycine amino acid residue and X is any amino acid residue.
- the members of the RPTPase class of the invention may include an extracellular stretch of amino acids that shares similarity with the known carbonic anhydrase isoforms (Deutsch, H.F., 1987, Int. J. Biochem. 19_:101-113) . Such sequences need not have carbonic anhydrase enzymatic activity.
- One or more complete or partial carbonic anhydrase motifs may be present on a single RPTPase molecule.
- CAH region of similarity there may exist amino acid substitutions, as well as short amino acid deletions, and/or short amino acid additions that diverge from the known CAH isoforms.
- Such divergent sequences are acceptable as long as the overall amino acid sequence similarity to CAH remains at least about 25% and/or the tertiary structure or the domain remains similar to that of CAH.
- RPTP/3 the characterization of one member, of this new class of RPTPase molecule.
- RPTP/3 not only contains a CAH-like domain but is also a proteoglycan.
- the molecules that act as the preferred ligands for the receptors of the invention are cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) .
- CAMs cell adhesion molecules
- Such molecules include, but are not limited to, any member of the classes of Ca 2+ -indepen- dent CAMs, cadherins, which are Ca 2+ -dependent CAMs, and integrins, which are Ca 2+ - or Mg 2+ -dependent CAMs.
- Ca 2+ -independent CAMs include such molecules as the.N- CAM family, Ng-CAM, LI, Jl, Fasciclin III, and MAG molecules.
- the cadherins include such molecules as N- cadherin, E-cadherin, P-cadherin, L-CAM, B-cadherin, and T-cadherin.
- N- cadherin E-cadherin
- P-cadherin P-cadherin
- L-CAM L-CAM
- B-cadherin B-cadherin
- T-cadherin T-cadherin.
- receptor phosphatases themselves may function as cell adhesion molecules because some of them contain motifs such as IgG-like or fibronectin Type III repeats typical of CAMs.
- motifs such as IgG-like or fibronectin Type III repeats typical of CAMs.
- PTPases with IgG and fibronectin motifs may also under go homotypic interactions. It is of note, however, that IgG-like and fibronectin motifs are found in many surface receptors and proteins which do not undergo homotypic interations.
- CAMs act as ligands for the RPTPase*.molecules of this invention, which contain no IgG-like and fibronectin Type III motifs.
- a ligand/receptor interaction does, in fact, occur between the RPTPase class of molecule disclosed in this invention and CAMs, where no interaction has previously been predicted to occur.
- the ligands of the invention may be transmembrane proteins, glycosylphosphatidylino ⁇ itol-linked membrane proteins, or secreted proteins.
- the molecules that constitute the ligands of this invention may contain one or more peptide domains, including, but not limited to, one or more Ig (immunoglobulin) domains (Williams, A.F., 1987, Immunol. Today 8 . :298-303), one or more fibronectin type III domains (Hynes, R.O. , 1990, Fibronectins, Springer-Verlag, New York), and/or one or more ectodomains (Takeichi, M. , 1991, Science 251:1451-1455) .
- Ig domains may share characteristics with both immunoglobulin constant and variable regions. Such characteristics may include pairs of cysteine residues, spaced approximately 60 amino acids apart, that form disulfide bonds with each other. Molecules may exhibit one or amino acid repeats of the sequence DRE, DXNDN, DXD, DVNE, DXE, and/or DPD. If the molecules are transmembrane proteins, such sequences should be present in the extracellular portion of the molecule.
- the RPTPase molecules of this invention may be proteoglycans
- several other non-CAM-like ligands may exist.
- extracellular matrix molecules as vitronectin, fibronectin, and laminin have been known to bind to the GAGs of certain proteoglycans.
- growth factors such as fibro- blast growth factors, and Schwann cell growth factor, have also been demonstrated to have affinity for proteoglycan GAG chains. Therefore, molecules including, but not limited to extracellular matrix molecules and growth factors are potential ligands for the RPTPase class of molecule presented in this invention.
- RPTPase LIGANDS Depending on the individual molecule, some RPTPase molecules may become activated upon ligand binding, and others may become inactivated (the activity referred to here being the RPTPases' phospha ⁇ tase activity) . Ligand binding to RPTPase molecules may affect a variety of cellular processes.
- Such processes include, but are not limited to, normal cellular functions such as differentiation, metabo- lism, cell cycle control, and neuronal function; cellular behavior, such as motility and contact inhibition; in addition to abnormal or potentially deleterious processes such as virus-receptor interac- tions, inflammation, cellular transformation to a cancerous state, and the development of Type 2, insulin independent diabetes mellitus.
- RPTPase/CAM binding may exert an effect on the above-mentioned processes within the RPTPase-exhibiting cell.
- CAMs are often cell surface proteins, RPTPase/CAM binding may elicit an effect on the CAM-exhibiting cell.
- RPTPases may contribute to the control of such cellular processes by exerting an effect directly on the CAM ligand itself, via, for example, a CAM phosphorylation/ dephosphorylation reaction.
- the receptors and the receptor-binding ligands of the invention may be used as drugs that can modulate the cellular processes under the control of the RPTPases.
- methods are presented below for the identification of compounds that affect RPTPase activity, and such compounds may also be used as drugs that can modulate one or more of the cellular processes mentioned above.
- the receptors or their ligands may be used directly to modulate processes such as those mentioned above.
- soluble RPTPases may be adminis ⁇ tered, using techniques well known to those skilled in the art, that could act to compete with endogenous transmembrane receptor molecules for available ligands, thus reducing or inhibiting ligand binding to endogenous RPTPases.
- the effect of such a procedure would be to activate, reduce or block the signal normally transduced into the cell (either the RPTPase- exhibiting cell, or the CAM-exhibiting cell) via ligand binding to transmembrane RPTPase.
- the RPTPases used here may include the entire molecule or, alternatively, only the RPTPase extracellular domain, or a part of the RPTPase extracellular domain thereof.
- ligands may be administered, again, using techniques well known to those in the art. Such administration would lead to a greater than normal number of transmembrane RPTPases being bound by ligand, potentially causing an amplification of the ligand-bound state within cells exhibiting RPTPases.
- the administered ligand may be composed of a modified form of said ligand such that receptor binding may still occur, but the normal result of such binding (receptor activation or inactivation, as the case may be) does not occur.
- a ligand with such a design would act in much the same way that administra ⁇ tion of soluble RPTPase would, in that both procedures would have the final effect of reducing the number of functionally bound RPTPase transmembrane molecules, therefore lowering or blocking the normal extracel- lular signal being transduced into the RPTPase- exhibiting cell via normal ligand binding to transmembrane RPTPase.
- the effect on a CAM ligand- exhibiting cell would also be the same in that an overall lower number of endogenous CAM ligands would be bound, therefore lowering or blocking the effect of RPTPase binding on such CAM-exhibiting cells.
- agents may be formulated and administered systemically or locally. Techniques for formulation and administration may be found in "Remington's
- Suitable routes may include oral, rectal, transmucosal, or intestinal administration; parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcu- taneous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injec ⁇ tions, just to name a few.
- the agents of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solu- tions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer.
- penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.
- RPTPases and/or their ligands may also be used to screen for additional molecules that can act to modu ⁇ late the activity of cellular processes such as those described above.
- compounds that bind to RPTPase molecules may be identified.
- One method that may be pursued in the isolation of such RPTPase- binding molecules would include the attachment of RPTPase molecules to a solid matrix, such as agarose or plastic beads, microtiter wells, or petri dishes, and the subsequent incubation of attached RPTPase molecules in the presence of a potential RPTPase- binding compound or compounds. After incubation, unbound compounds are washed away, and the RPTP-bound compounds are recovered.
- Bound molecules could be eluted from the RPTPase molecules by, for example, competing them away from the RPTPase molecules with the addition of excess ligand.
- the effect of a compound on the phosphatase activity of RPTPase molecules can also be determined.
- Such a compound may, for example, be one isolated using a procedure such as the binding technique described above.
- One method that may be utilized for determining the effects of a compound on RPTPase phosphatase activity would involve exposing such a compound to a preparation of cultured cells that express the RPTPase of the invention, and subsequently measuring the phosphatase activity of the culture.
- the compound of interest may be introduced to the cells, for example, by addition of the compound to the tissue culture medium.
- the phosphatase activity of the cells within the tissue culture preparation may be determined by measuring the level of cellular phospho- tyrosine within the culture, using method that are well known in the art (Honegger et al. , 1987, Cell 51:199-209; Margolis et al. , 1989, Cell 57:1101-1107) .
- RPTPases may be incorporated into apparatuses including but not limited to affinity columns such that large numbers of molecules may be screened quickly by being applied to said apparatuses. Those molecules with an affinity for RPTPases will be bound. Such binding will also bring about a partial purifica ⁇ tion of the molecules of interest.
- the bound molecules should be eluted off the above described apparatuses, for example by competing them away from the RPTPases with excess ligand, and the process should be repeated until the molecule of interest is purified to the extent necessary.
- RPTPj3 human receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase molecule
- a cDNA clone containing a portion of the coding sequences for RPTP/3 was isolated after screening a ⁇ gtll human infant brain stem cDNA library under conditions of reduced stringency with a nick trans ⁇ lated LCA probe that included both phosphatase domains (Kaplan, R. et al. , 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:7000-7004). Since the 5' end of this gene was not present in the original clone, the library was rescreened with a DNA fragment that was generated from the 5'end of the original clone.
- the probe was labeled with 32 P dCTP utilizing the random prime method (USB) and hybridization was performed under moderately stringent conditions at 42°C in a buffer containing 50% formamide, 5XSSC, 20mM Tris-CL pH 7.6, IX Denhardt's solution, 0.1% SDS and 100 ⁇ g/ml of sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA. After hybridization, phage filters were washed three times for 20 min at 50°C in a buffer containing O.lXSSC/0.1% SDS and then were processed for autoradiography. The brainstem library was rescreened a total of three times in order to isolate overlapping cDNA clones that contained the entire coding sequence for RPTPjS.
- USB random prime method
- cDNA inserts from positive recombinant plaque- purified were subcloned into the plasmid vector, Blue Script (Stratagene) , and sequenced by the dideoxy chain termination method using the Sequenase Version 2.0 Kit (USB) . 6.1.2 CHROMOSOMAL LOCALIZATION Isolation, propagation and characterization of parental and somatic cell hybrids used in this study have been described (Durst, M. et al.. 1987, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 84.:1070-1074) . Presence of specific human chromosomes or regions of chromosomes has been confirmed by DNA hybridization using probes for genes assigned to specific chromosome regions.
- Fig. 2A depicts diagrammatically the chromosomes or partial chromosomes retained in most of the hybrids used.
- Chromosomal in situ hybridization was performed as described previously (Cannizzano, L.A. et al. , 1991, Cancer Res. 5L:3818-3820) .
- Slides containing metaphase chromosomes from normal male (46 XY) peripheral blood lymphocytes were aged at 4°C for 7-10 days and pretreated with ribonuclease A (Sigma) for 1 hour at 37°C.
- the chromosomal DNA was denatured in a hybridization mixture containing 50% formamide, 2X SSC and 10% dextran sulfate (pH 7.0). Hybridization was carried out at 37°C overnight.
- oligonucleotides in conserved phosphatase domain II were synthesized according to the nucleotide sequence of human RPTPj3. These oligos, in conjunction with phage DNA from a mouse brain cDNA library that was purchased from Clonetech (Palo Alto, CA) , were used in the polymerase chain reaction with Taq polymerase (Perkin-Elmer) to amplify homologous mouse RPTP/3 sequences. The amplified product was purified and cloned into the Blue Script plasmid vector (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) . Homology was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis as described above. This subcloned fragment will be referred to as pBSMBDII.
- RNA was prepared with the Strategene RNA isolation kit. Poly A + RNA was further selected utilizing oligo dT cellulose chromatography (Stratagene) . For Northern analysis, the RNA was separated on a 1.0% agarose/2.2 M formaldehyde gel and transferred to a Nytran membrane (Schleicher and Schuell) by capillary action. The membrane was prehy- bridized and hybridized in 0.5 M sodium phosphate pH 7.2, 7% SDS, ImM EDTA, 100 ⁇ g/ml salmon sperm DNA and then washed in 40mM sodium phosphate ph 7.2, 1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA at 65°C.
- RNA isolated from various mouse tissues a 32 P-labeled probe was made utilizing pBSMBDII as template in the random prime labeling reaction (USB) .
- the human glioblastoma and neuroblastoma RNA blots were probed with labeled restriction fragments isolated from different parts of the human RPTP/3 cDNA clones.
- ANTIBODIES A peptide derived from the carboxy-terminal 15 amino acids of human RPTP/3 was synthesized and coupled to Keyhole limpet hemocyanin according to previously published procedures (Harlow, E. and Lane, D. , 1988, in Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, pp. 77-88) . This was used as immunogen to inoculate two rabbits to produce polyclonal antisera against RPTPjS. Anti-EGF receptor immunoprecipitates were performed with RK2 antibody which recognizes the glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms of the EGF receptor (Kris, R.M. et al.. 1985, Cell 4O: 619-625).
- DMEM Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium
- FBS fetal bovine serum
- tunicamycin involved incubating the cultures with 10 ⁇ g/ml tunicamycin (Sigma) for 1 hour prior to 35 S methionine labeling. Treated and untreated cells were washed twice with methionine free DMEM and then labeled for 4 hours with 0.15 mCi/ml 32 S methionine (purchased from New England Nuclear) in DMEM minus methionine containing 1% dialyzed FBS.
- Lysates from 35 S-NaS0 4 - labeled cultures were immunoprecipitated without preclearing, with anti-RPTP/3 antiserum for 2 hours at 4°C.
- the immunocomplexes were then precipitated with Protein A Sepharose (Sigma) for 45 min at 4°C and washed 10 times with RIPA buffer (20mM Tris-Cl ph 7.6, 300 mM NaCl, 2mM EDTA, 1.0% Triton X-100, 1.0% sodium deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS).
- the immunoprecipitated material was analyzed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels (7.5% for 35 S-Methionine, 5% for 35 S-NaS0 4 ) and then fluorographed.
- the oligonucleotide was labeled with [ ⁇ - 35 S] dATP (NEN Dupont) using terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (Boerhinger Mannheim) and purified using Sephadex G25 quick spin columns (Boerhinger Mannheim) .
- the specific activity of the labeled probes was between 5 X 10 8 - 1 x 10 9 cpm/ ⁇ g.
- Prehybridizations and hybridizations were carried out in a buffer containing 50% deionized formamide, 4X SSC, IX Denhardt's, 500 ⁇ g/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA, 250 ⁇ g/ml yeast tRNA and 10% dextran sulfate.
- the tissue was incubated for 12 h at 45°C in hybridization solution containing the labeled probe (1 x 10° cpm/section) and 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) .
- Controls for specificity were performed on adjacent sections by diluting the labeled oligonucleotides with a 30 fold concentration of the appropriate unlabeled oligonucleotide and by hybridization with a sense probe.
- the sections were washed in 2 changes of 2X SSC at room temperature for 1 h, IX SSC at 55°C for 30 min., 0.5X SSC at 55°C for 30 min, 0.5X SSC at room temperature for 15 min and dehydrated in 60%, 80%, and 100% ethanol. After air drying, the sections were exposed to X-ray film for 5-10d.
- RPTP/3 belongs to the high molecular weight, transmembrane class of tyrosine phosphatases and is encoded by 2308 amino acids.
- the protein contains a signal peptide (underlined in FIG.
- the 8.8 and 6.4 kb transcripts were identical in size to the two transcripts observed in RNA isolated from mouse brain tissue (FIG. 3A) .
- the deleted clones maintained the same extreme 5' and 3' ends of the RPTPj3 gene in addition to the sequences encoding the transmembrane peptide and the two phosphatase domains.
- a transcript corresponding to the deleted clone would be approximately 2.6 kb smaller than the transcript corresponding to the undeleted, full-length clone.
- FIG. 3C there is a transcript of 6.4 kb that is approximately 2.4 kb smaller than the largest transcript which is 8.8 kb in length.
- Northern blot hybridization analysis was performed utilizing RNA isolated from the Lan 5 cell line.
- Duplicate blots were made from this RNA and hybridized with two distinct probes.
- One probe (probe 1) was derived from sequences in the 5' end of RPTPj3 that are present in the deleted and full length cDNA clones.
- the other probe (probe 2) encompasses the sequences that are no longer present in the deleted cDNA clones.
- the location of probes A and B in the full length RPTPj3 cDNA is shown in FIG. 4A.
- Comparison of the Northern analysis with the two probes revealed that probe 1 hybridized to the three distinct transcript (FIG. 4B, PI) whereas probe 2 hybridized to the 7.5 and 8.8 kb transcripts but failed to hybridize to the 6.4 kb transcript (FIG. 4B, P2) .
- RPTP/3 In order to obtain further insight into the expression of RPTP/3, an in situ hybridization analysis was performed to look for the expression of RPTP/3 in the developing mouse embryo. Studies were also performed to determine whether RPTP/S gene expression is diffuse or restricted to specific regions of the adult brain. The results of this analysis confirm that RPTP/3 is preferentially expressed in the central nervous system. In the day 20 mouse embryo (E20) , high level of expression was observed in the ventricular zone of the brain (FIG 5A.) and in the spinal cord. A similar pattern of expression, with variable levels of intensity, has been seen from embryonic day 13 to postnatal day 7.
- the level of expression is much lower in the adult brain, and is discretely localized to the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum, the dentate gyrus, and the anterior horn of lateral ventricle (FIG. 5B) .
- the addition of a 30 fold excess of unlabeled oligonucleotide completely blocked the labeling in all of these areas indicating that this probe is hybridizing to mRNA in a sequence specific manner.
- Results from the Northern blot' and in situ hybridization analyses demonstrate that RPTPjS has a restricted tissue specificity to specific regions in the central nervous system and therefore may play an important role in the development of the nervous system.
- RPTPjS transcripts were identified in the Lan 5 neuroblastoma cell line, these cells were subse ⁇ quently used to detect endogenous protein expression.
- Cell lysates prepared from cultures labeled with 35 S- methionine for 4 hours were immunoprecipitated with normal rabbit serum or anti-RPTPj3 antiserum (FIG. 6) .
- a protein with apparent weight of approximately 300 kd was recognized by the immune but not by the normal rabbit serum (lanes 1 and 2) .
- tunicamycin was added to the cells during the 35 S-methionine labeling period.
- the effects of tunicamycin treatment on RPTPjS mobility was compared to the cell line were drug's ability to inhibit the glycosylation of the EGF receptor, which is also expressed in this cell line.
- Untreated cell lysates and lysates prepared from cells treated with tunicamycin were immunoprecipitated with an antibody (RK2) that recognizes the 170 kd glycosylated form and the 135 kd nonglycosylated form of the EGF receptor.
- RK2 an antibody that recognizes the 170 kd glycosylated form and the 135 kd nonglycosylated form of the EGF receptor.
- the molecular weight of the protein detected in FIG. 6, lane 3, is approximately 250 kD a value consistent with that of the core protein whose predicted molecular weight as deduced from the amino acid sequence is approximately 254 kd.
- FIG. 7A Alignment of the CAH-related domains of RPTPjS and RPTP ⁇ with the six known isoforms of CAH is shown in FIG. 7A.
- FIG. 7A Alignment of the CAH-related domains of RPTPjS and RPTP ⁇ with the six known isoforms of CAH is shown in FIG. 7A.
- RPTPases, ⁇ and ⁇ may represent a new subgroup of tyrosine phosphatases that will be charac ⁇ terized by the presence of CAH-related sequences in their extracellular domains.
- RPTPj3 exhibits the characteristics of a proteoglycan. Specifically, it is shown that the RPTPjS protein is covalently modified with high molecular weight, sulfate-containing moieties, and that such moieties are sensitive to chondroitinase ABC treatment.
- lane 5 which contains the control lysate, exhibits no such material.
- 6.2.8.3 CHONDROITINASE TREATMENT 293 cells transfected with RPTP/3 DNA as well as control 293 cells transfected with vector alone were 35 S-methionine labeled. Lysates were immunoprecipitated using an anti-RPTPjS antiserum and then chondroitinase ABC treated for 1 hour. The gel illustrated in FIG. 10 shows the results of one such immuno ⁇ precipitation. Lane 3 and 4 contain non-treated and treated RPTP/3-transfected lysates, respectively.
- Ng-CAM and N-CAM were purified from 14-d embryonic chicken brains by immunoaffinity chromato- graphy using specific monoclonal antibodies (Grumet, M. and Edelman, G.M. , 1988, J. Cell Biol. 106:487- 503) . Analysis of the proteins on SDS/PAGE showed that Ng-CAM consisted of a major component of 135 kDa and lesser amounts of the 200 kDa and 80 kDa species as described (Grumet, M.
- 3F8 proteoglycan was then isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography, using monoclonal antibodies coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B (Rauch, U. et al. , 1991, J. Biol. Chem. 266:14785-14801) .
- Analysis of the proteins on SDS-PAGE following chondroitinase-treat- ment showed that the core glycoprotein obtained by chondroitinase treatment of the 3F8 proteoglycan from either early postnatal or adult brain migrated on SDS- PAGE as a single bad at 400 kDa (Rauch, U. et al.. 1991, J. Biol. Chem. 266:14785-14801) .
- proteoglycans were digested for 45-60 min at 37°C with protease-free chondroitinase ABC (Seikagaku America Inc., Rockville, MD) in 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0 at 37°C) containing 30 mM sodium acetate. A ratio of 1.5 mM chondroitinase/ ⁇ g proteoglycan protein was used for the 3F8 proteoglycan. Completeness of digestion was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, which demonstrated that the large native proteoglycan which did not enter the separating gel was converted to discrete core glycoprotein bands after enzyme treatment (Rauch, U. et al. , 1991, J. Biol. Chem. 266:14785-14801) .
- Polyclonal rabbit antibodies raised against chicken Ng-CAM were prepared as previously described (Grumet, M. et al. , 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 1:267-271).
- proteoglycans To test the sensitivity of proteoglycans to proteolysis, solutions containing 0.1 mg/ml proteoglycan were treated with 10 ⁇ g/ml of trypsin for 1 h at 37°C and the reaction was terminated by addition of 20 ⁇ g/ml of soybean trypsin inhibitor.
- the 3F8 proteoglycan inhibited aggregation of Ng- CAM-Covaspheres at 30 ⁇ g/ml (FIG. 11) . It is unlikely that the proteoglycans inhibited Covasphere aggregation by a trivial mechanism such as proteolysis of Ng-CAM because it was found that incubation of the 3F8 proteoglycan with Ng-CAM for 1 h at 37°C had no effect of the molecular sizes of the Ng-CAM components when resolved by SDS-PAGE. To compare the effects of different proteoglycans we measured the appearance of superthreshold aggre ⁇ gates of Covaspheres using a Coulter Counter to detect aggregates larger than a given size. The aggregation of Ng-CAM-Covaspheres was inhibited in a concentra- tion-dependent manner by the 3F8 proteoglycan (FIG. 12).
- the inhibitory effect of 3F8 proteoglycan on the aggregation of Ng-CAM- and N-CAM-coated beads were maximal at approximately 10 ⁇ g/ml.
- the amount of proteoglycan in solution was 0.6 ⁇ g and the amount of Ng-CAM on the Covaspheres was approximately 0.3 ⁇ g (see Materials and Methods, Section 7.1.2), suggesting that the brain proteoglycan can perturb homophilic Ng-CAM binding at approximately stoichio- metric levels with Ng-CAM.
