Abstract
Mucins are synthesized and secreted by many epithelia. They are complex glycoproteins that offer cytoprotection. In their functional configuration, mucins form oligomers by a biosynthetic process that is poorly understood. A family of four human gastrointestinal mucin genes (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6) is clustered to chromosome 11p15.5. To study oligomerization of these related mucins, we performed metabolic labeling experiments with [35S]amino acids in LS174T cells, and isolated mucin precursors by specific immunoprecipitations that were analyzed on SDS-PAGE. Each of the precursors of MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6 formed a single species of disulfide-linked homo-oligomer within 1 h after pulse labeling. Based on apparent molecular masses, these oligomeric precursors were most likely dimers. Inhibition of vesicular RER-to-Golgi transport, with brefeldin A and CCCP, did not affect the dimerization of MUC2 precursors, localizing dimerization to the RER. O-Glycosylation of MUC2 followed dimerization. Inhibition of N-glycosylation by tunicamycin retarded, but did not inhibit, dimerization, indicating that N-glycans play a role in efficient dimerization of MUC2 precursors. Based on sequence homology, the ability of MUC2, MUC5AC,...Continue Reading
