Epithelial sorting of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored bacterial protein expressed in polarized renal MDCK and intestinal Caco-2 cells

To evaluate whether a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor can function as a protein sorting signal in polarized intestinal epithelial cells, the GPI-attachment sequence from Thy-1 was fused to bacterial endoglucanase E' (EGE') from Clostridium thermocellum and polarity of secretion of the chimeric EGE'-GPI protein was evaluated. The chimeric EGE'-GPI protein was shown to be associated with a GPI anchor by TX-114 phase-partitioning and susceptibility to phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C. In polarized MDCK cells, EGE' was localized almost exclusively to the apical cell surface, while in polarized intestinal Caco-2 cells, although 80% of the extracellular form of the enzyme was routed through the apical membrane over a 24 hour period, EGE' was also detected at the basolateral membrane. Rates of delivery of EGE'-GPI to the two membrane domains in Caco-2 cells, as determined with a biotinylation protocol, revealed apical delivery was approximately 2.5 times that of basolateral. EGE' delivered to the basolateral cell surface was transcytosed to the apical surface. These data indicate that a GPI anchor does represent a dominant apical sorting signal in intestinal epithelial cells. However, the mis-sorting of a proportion of EGE'GPI to the basolateral surface of Caco-2 cells provides an explanation for additional sorting signals in the ectodomain of some endogenous GPI-anchored proteins.
