Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans such as syndecan-1 bind various extracellular matrix proteins and have been suggested to interact with the cytoskeleton. Such interactions are thought to be important for stabilizing cell morphology. Syndecan-1 resists extraction with Triton X-100. This insolubility was reported not to be affected by removal of the glycosaminoglycan chains, suggesting that the insolubility is not due to binding to the extracellular matrix, but rather to an association with the actin cytoskeleton (Rapraeger, A., Jalkanen, M. and Bernfield, M. (1986) J. Cell Biol. 103, 2683-2696). To examine further the interaction of syndecan-1 with the Triton X-100-insoluble residue, we expressed wild-type mouse syndecan-1 and a cytoplasmic deletion mutant (tail-less) in Chinese hamster ovary cells. We observed that both the wild-type and the tail-less syndecan-1 were partly insoluble in Triton X-100. The insolubility was not affected by increasing temperature (37 degrees C or 50 degrees C) or by cytochalasin D. Removal of the glycosaminoglycan chains from the ectodomain, however, resulted in complete Triton X-100 solubility, unlike previous reports. Syndecan-1 could also be released into the Triton X-100-soluble fraction by addition of heparin or heparan sulfate to the extraction medium. We conclude that the cytoplasmic domain of syndecan-1 is not responsible for Triton X-100 insolubility. Instead, our results indicate that Triton X-100 insolubility is caused by an interaction of syndecan-1 molecules with other cellular and/or extracellular molecules mediated by the heparan sulfate chains.
