Identification of 200,000-dalton human cell surface protein encoded by gene mapped to long arm of chromosome 11.
Cell surface proteins and glycoproteins of human and Chinese hamster cells and their hybrid cell clones were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The J1 clone of human-Chinese hamster hybrid cells contained chromosome 11 as its only human chromosome. The J1 cells expressed a glycoprotein of 200,000 daltons which was shared by human fibroblasts but not by the parental Chinese hamster ovary cells. The 200,000-dalton protein was identified as a cell surface protein by the method of lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination. The protein was electrophoretically purified from radioiodinated cultures of human fibroblasts and J1 cells and subjected to the analysis of tryptic peptides by thin-layer electrophoresis followed by chromatography. The protein from both sources gave rise to fingerprints which closely resembled to each other. The results are consistent with a hypothesis that the 200,000-dalton protein of the J1 clone is of human origin. Analysis of segregant clones of J1 cells, which have deletions on human chromosome 11, has further suggested that the gene for this glycoprotein maps to the long arm of chromosome 11. A gene coding for the 200,000-dalton protein has not been previously mapped to this chromosome.
