| Abstract | The apical endosomal compartment is thought to be involved in the sorting and selective transport of receptors and ligands across polarized epithelia. To learn about the protein components of this compartment, we have isolated and sequenced a cDNA that encodes a glycoprotein that is located in the apical endosomal tubules of developing rat intestinal epithelial cells. The deduced amino acid sequence predicts a protein of 1216 amino acids with a molecular mass of 133,769 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence together with aminoterminal amino acid sequencing indicate that there is a cleaved 21-amino acid signal sequence at the NH2-terminal portion of the molecule. There is a single hydrophobic region near the carboxyl terminus that has the characteristics of a membrane-spanning domain and a 36-amino acid cytoplasmic tail. We have found that the major form of this protein in intestinal epithelial cells has a molecular mass of 55-60 kDa, which is significantly smaller than the size predicted from the cDNA sequence, suggesting that the protein is synthesized as a large precursor and processed to the smaller form. The smaller form remains associated with the membrane, however, possibly through noncovalent association with the transmembrane portion of the molecule or with another membrane protein. The extracytoplasmic domain is cysteine-rich, with three cysteine-rich repeats that are similar to cysteine repeats present in several receptor proteins. However, there is no other significant similarity to other proteins in the GenBank. The cytoplasmic tail contains a possible internalization motif and several consensus motifs for serine/threonine kinases. Northern blot analysis suggests a single abundant message, and Southern blot analysis is consistent with a single gene and the absence of pseudogenes for this unique endosomal protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
