The structural basis of the high affinity interleukin-2 receptor which was previously reconstituted in a cultured murine T cell line, EL4 by expressing either wild-type Tac antigen complementary DNA (cDNA) or a chimeric cDNA was characterized. The chimeric cDNA encodes a membrane portion whose extracellular portion consists of that of Tac antigen whereas transmembrane and cytoplasmic portions consists of those the human insulin beta chain. The Tac antigen/anti-Tac antibody complex was treated by chemical crosslinking reagents, purified by goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin (Ig), and was analysed by SDS-PAGE. We here demonstrated the presence in mouse EL4 transfectants of a novel membrane protein which is closely associated with the products of transfected cDNAs in the absence of interleukin-2. The protein is 75 kDa in size and is detected in cells which express high affinity interleukin-2 receptor but not in cells which only express low affinity interleukin-2 receptor. The transmembrane region and the cytoplasmic region of Tac antigen is not necessary for the formation of the complex consisting of Tac antigen and 75 kDa molecule, indicating that a murine 75 kDa molecule associates with Tac antigen extra-cellularly.

D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
