title: Parathyroid hormone receptors are plasma membrane glycoproteins with asparagine-linked oligosaccharides.
abstract: In the preceding article, we described physicochemical and kinetic properties of parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors in clonal rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) using photoaffinity ligand labeling and showed that the physiologically relevant receptor-ligand complex has an apparent Mr = 80,000. In this study, the photoaffinity labeled Mr = 80,000 receptor was localized exclusively on the cell surface plasma membrane and its glycoprotein nature was demonstrated through the use of lectin affinity-chromatography and specific exo- and endoglycosidases. Rinsing ROS cells, preincubated in the dark with 125I-labeled [Nle8, N-epsilon-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)Lys13,Nle18,Tyr34]bovine PTH-(1-34)-NH2 (NAP-NlePTH) (4 h, 15 degrees C, equilibrium conditions) with acidic phosphate-buffered saline (pH 2.5, 30 s, 4 degrees C) before photolysis resulted in selective and nearly total disappearance of the labeled Mr = 80,000 receptor. PTH receptor integrity to acid rinsing and photolysis was shown by relabeling the Mr = 80,000 receptor after a second incubation of these cells with 125I-labeled NAP-NlePTH, followed by photolysis. Adsorption of Triton X-100-solubilized, 125I-labeled NAP-NlePTH receptors to wheat germ agglutinin-agarose is nearly complete and highly selective, and elution with N-acetylglucosamine resulted in virtually total recovery of the labeled receptors from the column. The wheat germ agglutinin-retarded PTH receptors show increased electrophoretic mobility upon treatment with neuraminidase which was inhibited by simultaneous addition of 2,3-dehydro-3-desoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid, a specific neuraminidase inhibitor. Endoglycosidase F treatment of the Mr = 80,000 receptors generated a single, labeled polypeptide with a Mr = 59,000 which migrated as a narrow band. PTH receptors on ROS 17/2.8 cells appear to be monomeric plasma membrane glycoproteins with an apparent Mr of 80,000 which contain a Mr = 59,000 polypeptide backbone and a polymeric arrangement of N-acetylglucosamine with N-acetylneuraminic acid as major terminal sugar residues.
