Abstract

We recently described the cloning of putative human CMP-sialic acid transporter (hCST) cDNA [Ishida, N. et al. (1996) J. Biochem. 120, 1074-1078]. The hCST cDNA coded for a hydrophobic protein with an amino acid sequence showing a high degree of similarity (92% identity) to that of murine CMP-sialic acid transporter. In this report, we demonstrate that hCST corrects the CMP-sialic acid transporter-deficient phenotype of CHO-derived Lec2 cells, as judged from the recovery of WGA-sensitivity by transformants, and the recovery of CMP-sialic acid transporting ability by microsomal vesicles prepared from them. A peptide antibody against the C-terminus of the hCST protein detected the cDNA products expressed in the microsomes of the transformants. The subcellular localization of the hCST protein in the Golgi membrane was demonstrated by immunofluorescence microscopy, using the hCST-specific antibody. These results clearly indicate that hCST cDNA encodes the human CMP-sialic acid transporter protein. Plasma membrane-selective permeabilization combined with immunofluorescence microscopy provided strong evidence that the C-terminus of the human CMP-Sia transporter is exposed to the cytosol on the outer surface of the Golgi membrane.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
