title: Isolation and partial characterization of membrane-associated cyclophilin and a related 22-kDa glycoprotein.
abstract: The presence of membrane-associated proteins which stereospecifically bind cyclosporin A and react with anti-cyclophilin antibodies has been documented in rat tissues. Extraction of membranes with 6 M urea or 0.5% Chaps releases cyclosporin-binding activity that is 5-12% of that found in cytosol. Cyclosporin-A-binding proteins are present in most subcellular organelles of liver, but microsomes contain the greatest activity. These proteins can be purified by adsorption onto a cyclosporin-A affinity column and elution with cyclosporin A. Two major fractions are resolved on SDS/PAGE: an 18-kDa fraction is comprised of two isoforms that are similar if not identical to the two major cytosolic isoforms of cyclophilin. In addition, in microsomes an approximately equal quantity of a 22-kDa glycoprotein was detected. Based on partial sequencing (five peptides, 89 amino acids) this protein is similar but not identical to human cyclophilin B. This 22-kDa isoform is poorly recognized by affinity-purified anti-cyclophilin antibodies and comprises several predominant isoforms (pI approximately 9.3-9.6). Selective binding of membrane 22-kDa cyclophilin to peanut lectin suggests the oligosaccharides contain a terminal galactosyl-N-galactosamine residue.
