In the current study, the cystic fibrosis cationic mucociliary inhibitor has been purified from urine by ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, lectin affinity chromatography, isoelectric focusing, and high performance liquid chromatography. The molecular size of the cationic mucociliary inhibitor was estimated to be in the range of 4,000 to 13,500 MW, by its elution on Sephadex G-50, and between 7,500 and 2,750 MW, by urea-sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition to the cationic mucociliary inhibitor, an anionic mucociliary inhibitor was also detected in the urinary fraction isoelectrically focused between pH 4.5 and 4.9. The identity of the mucociliary inhibitor as a glycoprotein was established in the current study by affinity chromatography on Phaseolus lunatus lectin, by radiolabeling the carbohydrate with galactose oxidase and tritiated sodium borohydride, and by determining the presence of a large concentration of glucosamine and small amounts of galactosamine by amino acid analysis. The amino acid analysis of the purified major component of the cationic mucociliary inhibitor reveals that the glucosamine concentrations represents a high percentage of the composition of the glycoprotein.

D002923 Cilia Populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates (CILIOPHORA) or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated EPITHELIUM. Each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of CYTOPLASM. The movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live. The movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
