pubmed:abstractText
The gastric H+/K(+)-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) (proton pump) consists of a catalytic alpha-subunit and a recently proposed 60-90-kDa glycoprotein beta-subunit. Using dog gastric membranes as the antigen, we have produced two murine monoclonal antibodies, 4F11 (IgG1) and 3A6 (IgA), which are specific for the 60-90-kDa glycoprotein. The monoclonal antibodies (1) specifically stained the cytoplasm of unfixed and formalin-fixed dog gastric parietal cells; (2) specifically reacted by ELISA with gastric tubulovesicular membranes; (3) recognised epitopes located on the luminal face of parietal cell tubulovesicular membranes, the site of the proton pump, by immunogold electron microscopy; (4) immunoblotted a 60-90-kDa molecule from tubulovesicular membranes and a 35-kDa component from peptide N-glycosidase-F-treated membrane extracts; (5) immunoblotted the 60-90-kDa parietal cell autoantigen associated with autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anemia, purified by chromatography on parietal cell autoantibody- or tomato-lectin-Sepharose 4B affinity columns, and the 35-kDa protein core of this autoantigen; this autoantigen has amino acid sequence similarity to the beta-subunit of the related Na+/K(+)-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+ ATPase) [Toh et al. (1990) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. 87, 6418-6422]; (6) co-precipitated a molecule of 95 kDa with the 60-90-kDa molecule from 125I-labelled detergent extracts of dog tubulovesicular membranes; and (7) co-purified the catalytic alpha-subunit of the H+/K+ ATPase with the 60-90-kDa molecule by immunoaffinity chromatography of tubulovesicular membrane extracts on a monoclonal antibody 3A6-Sepharose 4B column, indicating a physical association between the two molecules. These results provide further evidence that the 60-90-kDa glycoprotein is the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase. We conclude that the monoclonal antibodies specifically recognise luminal epitopes on the 35-kDa core protein of the 60-90-kDa beta-subunit of the gastric proton pump, a major target molecule in autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anaemia. These monoclonal antibodies will be valuable probes to study the structure and function of this associated beta-subunit, as well as the ontogeny of the gastric proton pump.
