A novel 45 kDa secretory protein from rat olfactory epithelium: primary structure and localisation

Abstract: cDNA clones encoding the 45 kDa protein were isolated from a rat olfactory epithelium cDNA library and their inserts were sequenced. The reconstructed protein sequence comprises 400 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 46 026 Da. A homology was revealed between the amino acid sequence of the 45 kDa protein and the proteins involved in the transfer of hydrophobic ligands. Using in situ hybridisation, the 45 kDa protein mRNA expression was detected in the layer of supportive cells of olfactory epithel… Show more

“…The strong overall sequence homology of hTAP with the 45-kDa secretory protein from rat (AJ132352), which also contains this extension, indicates that both proteins are closely related. The 45-kDa rat secretory protein is present in cells of the olfactory epithelium, the apical region of the trachea, the surface layer of the ciliated bronchial epithelium, and the epidermis (35). Opposite to this, hTAP mRNA is ubiquitous and strongly expressed exclusively in adult tissues.…”

“…This region has 28% identity with cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein and 24% identity with Sec14p, a yeast protein with phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3 transfer activity. A similar Sec14p homology domain is also found in two protein tyrosine phosphatases from Xenopus laevis, PTPX1 and PTPX10 (6), and numerous other proteins (7,8), including many regulators of Rho, Rac, and Ras proteins (9).…”

“…The relatively large binding pocket of TAPs can accommodate several different ligands that within cells may form a group of lipids competing for the same binding site. Several hydrophobic ligands are bound by the TAP proteins in vitro, such as a-, b-, g-, d-tocopherols and tocotrienols, a-tocopheryl quinone, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and squalene, as well as aTS, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-phosphate [47][48][49][50][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Using an isoelectric point mobility shift assay [59], aTP was able to compete in vitro with phosphatidylinositol for binding to recombinant human TAP1 (hTAP1) in a similar manner as aT, suggesting that aT and aTP may influence cellular events via competition for the same binding site.…”
