Urokinase binding sites on human foreskin cells. Evidence for occupancy with endogenous urokinase.

Abstract:

:In cultures of human foreskin fibroblasts most of the cell surface binding sites for 2-chain urokinase are masked and can be exposed by 10 min. incubation on ice at pH 2.5 (A. Bajpai and J.B. Baker (1985), Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.133, 475-482). Here we show that incubation on ice at pH 2.5 also releases from the cell surface a plasminogen activator that is similar to 2-chain urokinase in terms of its electrophoretic mobility, chromatographic behavior on concanavalin A-Sepharose or p-amino-benzamidine-Sepharose, and sensitivity to anti-urokinase antibody. Two observations suggest that the masked binding sites are sites occupied by this cell surface urokinase. First, glucocorticoid-treated cells, which lack cell surface urokinase, have a large number of urokinase binding sites but none that are masked. Second, the extraction of surface urokinase and the exposure of urokinase binding sites exhibit similar pH dependence. Both are complete at about pH 4.0.

  • Molecular interplays involved in the cellular uptake of octaarginine on cell surfaces and the importance of syndecan-4 cytoplasmic V domain for the activation of protein kinase Cα.

    abstract::Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are promising carriers for the intracellular delivery of various bioactive molecules. However, many ambiguities remain about the molecular interplays on cell surfaces that ultimately lead to endocytic uptake of CPPs. By treatment of cells with octaarginine (R8), enhanced ...
