Abstract
Decreased expression of C-CAM, a member of the CEA family of immunoglobulin like cell adhesion molecules, occurs in carcinomas of the colon, liver and prostate. Down regulation of C-CAM during the early stages of carcinogenesis in rat liver and human prostate has also been reported. We have recently shown that restoration of the expression of the isoform with long cytoplasmic domain, C-CAM1, leads to suppression of the tumorigenicity of prostatic carcinoma cells in vivo and growth suppression in vitro. These observations suggest that C-CAM1 may play an important role in regulating cell growth in normal tissues. Previous studies have demonstrated that the function of many members of the Ig-supergene family is dependent on interactions with cytoplasmic proteins. In the present study, we have used a bifunctional cross-linker to identify cellular proteins that interact directly with C-CAM1. Immunoblot analysis of WGA bound membrane proteins crosslinked with DSS identified a 180 kDa complex composed of C-CAM and an 80 kDa protein designated CAP-80 (C-CAM Associated Protein). Immunoprecipitation with anti-C-CAM antibodies showed that CAP-80 was co-precipitated with C-CAM from detergent solubilized, WGA-purified proteins. To assess th...Continue Reading
