Liver-specific ZP domain-containing protein (LZP) as a new partner of Tamm-Horsfall protein harbors on renal tubules.

Abstract:

:Liver-specific ZP domain-containing protein (LZP) was recently identified as a secreted protein that is specifically expressed in liver. However, the physiological effects of LZP are largely unknown. In this study, we found that LZP was detectable in mouse kidneys, testes, ovaries and heart, in addition to liver. LZP was localized in the spermatid cells of testes, corpus luteum cells of ovaries, and cardiac muscle cells of heart. But the protein mainly anchored on the apical membrane of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL) cell in mouse kidney. In rat kidney LZP and Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) were co-localized in TAL. The in vivo interaction between LZP and THP was confirmed in kidney and urine by co-immunoprecipitation assay, and the in vitro interaction was detected by GST pull-down assay, implying that the interaction could be independent on N-linked glycosylated modification of LZP. Surprisingly, LZPs with intramolecular disulfide bridges could self-interact, and then self-aggregate into spheres of varying sizes, but not polymerize into filaments. The finding that LZP might act as a new partner of THP would provide novel insights into renal functions related to THP and LZP, such as the urothelial permeability barrier and the host defense against the adhesion of pathogens.
