Identification and characterization of the Aeromonas sobria hemolysin glycoprotein receptor on intestine 407 cells.
Aeromonas sobria hemolysin is important in the pathogenesis of diarrhoea caused by this enteropathogenic bacterium. By immunoprecipitation analysis using hemolysin and anti-hemolysin antibody, a 66 kDa protein (p66) was identified as a receptor for A. sobria hemolysin on Intestine 407 cells. Treatment of p66 with N-glycosidase F reduced the apparent sized of p66 to 60 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. p66, released from Intestine 407 cells following incubation with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) treatment, bound A. sobria hemolysin. Thus treatment of Intestine 407 cells with PI-PLC resulted in the remarkable decrease of the sensitivity to A. sobria hemolysin. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that p66, the binding protein for A. sobria hemolysin, is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein expressed on the surface of Intestine 407 cells and probably plays a role as a receptor for A. sobria hemolysin on the intestinal cells.
