title: Identification and characterization of the major stilbene-disulphonate- and concanavalin A-binding protein of the porcine renal brush-border membrane as aminopeptidase N.
abstract: A 130 kDa glycoprotein (GP 130) was purified from porcine renal brush-border membranes by affinity chromatography using immobilized 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (SITS)- and concanavalin A-Sepharose. GP 130 was the major concanavalin A-binding protein in porcine renal brush-border membranes and also bound Ricinus communis (castor-bean) and wheat-germ agglutinins. Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F reduced the molecular mass of GP 130 by 20 kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE, whereas endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H reduced the molecular mass by 5 kDa, showing that GP 130 contained both complex and high-mannose carbohydrate structures. Western-blot analyses using an antibody raised against GP 130 showed that it was localized to the brush-border membrane fraction and was present in a membrane fraction of the pig kidney cell line LLC-PK1. The N-terminal sequence and amino acid composition of GP 130 showed that GP 130 is similar to rat kidney zinc peptidase and human intestinal aminopeptidase N. GP 130 had aminopeptidase N enzymic activity and was inhibited by bestatin (Ki = 36 microM), 1,10-phenanthroline (Ki 30 microM), Zn2+ (Ki 26 microM), Cu2+ (Ki 260 microM), pre-incubation with EDTA and by a polyclonal antibody against GP 130. Bicarbonate and iodide blocked the binding of GP 130 to the SITS-affinity resin, showing that GP 130 has an anion-binding site. Neither these anions nor stilbene disulphonates affected the aminopeptidase N activity of GP 130.
