A mannose-specific membrane lectin (MR60) isolated from human myelomonocytic HL60 cells by affinity chromatography is expressed in intracellular organelles of immature monocytes (Pimpaneau, V., Midoux, P., Monsigny, M., and Roche, A. C. (1991) Carbohydr. Res. 213, 95-108). It is not present at the cell surface and is immunochemically and structurally distinct from the M(r) 175,000 mannose receptor of mature macrophages. MR60 cDNA was isolated and characterized; on the basis of its sequence, MR60 is not related to any known mammalian lectins. Surprisingly, MR60 was found to be identical to ERGIC-53 (Schindler, R., Itin, C., Zerial, M., Lottspeich, F., and Hauri, H.P. (1993) Eur. J. Cell Biol. 61, 1-9), a type I integral membrane protein, defined as a marker of the intermediate compartment that recycles between the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum; MR60/ERGIC-53 shares with VIP-36 significant homologies with leguminous plant lectins (Fiedler, K., and Simmons, K. (1994) Cell 77, 625-626). We extend these findings in evidencing a structural homology between MR60/ERGIC-53 and mammalian galectins (soluble beta galactose binding proteins). MR60/ERGIC-53 is the first lectin characterized as an endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi protein. Accordingly, this intracellular mannose binding protein could be involved in the traffic of glycoproteins between endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH). (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Ergastoplasm,Reticulum, Endoplasmic
D006056 Golgi Apparatus A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane. (From Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990) Golgi Complex,Apparatus, Golgi,Complex, Golgi
