Title: Purification and characterization of a membrane-associated 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine binding protein from a human carcinoma cell line

Journal Article · · Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.; (United States)

A membrane-associated binding protein for 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) was purified to apparent homogeneity from A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells. A431 cells were specifically labeled with the N-bromoacetyl derivative of T3 labeled with SVI at the 3' position (BrAc( SVI)T3) and were extracted with 3-(3-(cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), a zwitterionic detergent. The solubilized BrAc( SVI)T3-labeled protein was successively purified by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and QAE-Sephadex followed by NaDodSO4/PAGE. Approximately 0.2 mg of purified protein was obtained from 2.5 x 10Z cells, which represents a 3000-fold purification. The membrane-associated T3 binding protein is an acidic protein with a pI of 5.1 and an apparent molecular mass of 55,000 daltons determined by NaDodSO4/PAGE. Polyclonal antibodies against the 55-kDa protein were prepared and used in indirect immunofluorescence to show that the 55-kDa protein was mainly found in the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum.
