Abstract

To investigate the mechanisms regulating polarized vesicle delivery to the cell surface in hepatocytes, we have characterized the endogenous plasma membrane (PM)-associated syntaxins. These integral membrane proteins are components of the membrane docking/fusion apparatus and are thought to function as vesicle receptors at the PM. In hepatocytes, the PM is divided into two domains, the apical and basolateral. If syntaxins are mediating the specific recognition of vesicles delivered to either membrane surface, the simple prediction is that each domain expresses one syntaxin isoform. However, we report that rat hepatocytes express three endogenous PM-associated syntaxin isoforms, syntaxins 2, 3 and 4. By biochemical subfractionation, we determined that the syntaxins exhibit distinct, but overlapping patterns of expression among the PM domains. Syntaxin 4 is primarily expressed at the basolateral surface while syntaxins 2 and 3 are enriched at the apical PM. The immunolocalization of syntaxins 2 and 4 in rat hepatocytes and PM sheets revealed similarly complex patterns of PM expression with enhanced apical staining for both. A significant proportion of syntaxin 3 (25%) was detected in subcellular fractions containing transport ves...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
