Abstract
WE have raised a monoclonal antibody, designated E28D8, which reacts with an 80,000-dalton membrane glycoprotein (gp80) of Dictyostelium discoideum. gp80 has been implicated in the formation of the EDTA-resistant adhesions ("contact sites A") which appear during development. The monoclonal antibody reacted with other developmentally regulated proteins of D. discoideum, confirming previous results indicating the presence of common antigenic determinants recognized by polyclonal rabbit antibodies directed to gp80. Periodate sensitivity of the determinants suggests that carbohydrate may be necessary for reactivity. Thus, the determinant recognized by E28D8 may result from a posttranslational modification common to a number of proteins. Some of the proteins that carry the determinant were preferentially localized to posterior cells in slugs. Monoclonal antibody E28D8 did not inhibit contact-sites-A-mediated intercellular adhesion. However, gp80 affinity purified on immobilized monoclonal antibody was able to neutralize the adhesion-blocking effect of rabbit antiserum to gp80. Although gp80 itself may not be essential for cell-cell adhesion, it appears to carry the determinants associated with adhesion.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
