    Journal: Biochem J; 1991 Apr 01; 275 ( Pt 1)(Pt 1):259-62. PubMed ID: 2018481.
    Abstract:
    Rabbit antiserum against electrophoretically purified bovine liver tyrosine-O-sulphate (TyrS)-binding protein was prepared. Affinity-purified antibodies from the antiserum were found to be capable of immunoprecipitating the TyrS-binding protein from the sodium choleate extract of a bovine liver microsomal membrane fraction. Using purified specific antibodies as the probe, Western blot analysis for the presence of TyrS-binding protein/tyrosine-sulphated protein complexes in bovine liver membrane lysates was performed. It was found that the TyrS-binding protein co-precipitated with three tyrosine-sulphated proteins (fibronectin, fibrinogen and complement C4) immunoprecipitated by their respective antibodies. In contrast, for the two non-tyrosine-sulphated proteins (haptoglobin and transferrin) tested, co-precipitation of the TyrS-binding protein was not observed. On employing an affinity gel fractionation technique, it was shown that partially purified TyrS-binding protein exhibited binding affinity towards Sepharose gels covalently bonded to fibronectin or fibrinogen, but not towards Sepharose gels bonded to albumin or transferrin. These results indicate that the TyrS-binding protein formed complexes with tyrosine-sulphated proteins both in vivo and in vitro, and thus provide support for the putative role of the former being the receptor of the latter.
