Transmembrane domain of CD44 is required for its detergent insolubility in fibroblasts

Journal of Cell Science 1995 108: 1033-1041;

Summary

The hyaluronan receptor CD44 is an abundant glycoprotein expressed on a variety of different cell types. In fibroblasts a significant portion of receptor molecules remain in the detergent-insoluble fraction after Triton X-100 extraction. Detergent insolubility of these CD44 molecules has been interpreted to reflect their association with the cytoskeleton. In this study we examined the structural features of CD44 required for its Triton X-100 insolubility in murine fibroblasts. We expressed in L cells the wild-type hematopoietic form of CD44, a mutant CD44 lacking the cytoplasmic domain, and two mutant CD44 molecules with substituted transmembrane domains. Immunofluorescence and cell surface iodination were performed and the detergent extraction profile of the transfected CD44 molecules was determined. No difference in detergent solubility was observed between wild-type and tailless mutant-transfected molecules. However, both CD44 mutants with a heterologous transmembrane domain, derived from either the CD3 zeta chain or CD45, were completely soluble in Triton X-100. These results demonstrate that the transmembrane region but not the cytoplasmic domain of CD44 is required for the detergent-insolubility in these cells. No obvious colocalization of CD44 and actin stress fibers was observed before or after treatment with cytochalasin D, and no change in the detergent extraction profile of wild-type and mutant CD44 molecules was effected by cytochalasin D. In equilibrium density sucrose gradients the Triton-insoluble CD44 component was found in the low density fractions, indicating an association with Triton X-100-insoluble lipids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.

Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
