We have purified and characterized a novel glycoprotein (r-lamp-3) with an apparent molecular weight (Mr) of 85,000 from membranes of triton-filled lysosomes (tritosomes) by the use of immunoaffinity chromatography on a column of monoclonal antibody-Sepharose 4B. r-lamp-3 accounted for approximately 4% of the total proteins in tritosomal membranes. The isoelectric point (pI) of r-lamp-3 was 4.5 and it was shifted to 6.5 after neuraminidase treatment with its molecular weight decreased by about 7000. Pulse-chase experiments in cultured rat hepatocytes using [35S]methionine showed that r-lamp-3 was initially synthesized as a 77,000 polypeptide and processed to a mature protein with an Mr of 85,000. Upon treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H), the precursor and mature forms were converted to 55,000 and 73,000 polypeptides, respectively. From the Mr reduction of the precursor form, we estimated the presence of 10--12 N-linked oligosaccharides/r-lamp-3 polypeptide. The data on enzymatic deglycosylation suggested that the mature form of r-lamp-3 contained the same numbers of high mannose-type and complex-type N-linked oligosaccharide chains.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.
