title: A Mr 80K hepatocyte surface protein(s) interacts with basement membrane components.
abstract: We have identified a Mr 80K cell surface protein(s) from adult rat hepatocytes that binds basement membrane components, including collagen IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and laminin. Freshly isolated hepatocytes were cell surface-labeled with 125I using the lactoperoxidase-catalyzed method, and detergent-solubilized membrane proteins were chromatographed on affinity columns prepared with purified basement membrane components. A Mr 80K protein was eluted with 0.15-1 M NaCl from a collagen IV column. Two proteins (Mr 80K and 38K) were eluted from a heparan sulfate proteoglycan column. The larger protein was also eluted from a column made with heparan sulfate side chains. Several proteins (Mr 80K, 67K, 45K, and 32K) bound to an affinity chromatography column made with the laminin A chain-derived synthetic peptide PA22-2, which is active for promoting cell attachment. When fractions eluted from these columns were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, the Mr 80K proteins showed similar patterns with a pI ranging from 8 to 9. The Mr 80K protein(s) may have an important role in the interaction of hepatocytes with basement membrane.
