Scavenger receptor for aldehyde-modified proteins.

S Horiuchi, M Murakami, K Takata

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |April 15, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    The scavenger receptor on liver cells binds more than just formaldehyde-treated albumin (f-Alb). It also recognizes other aldehyde-modified proteins, revealing a broader function in cellular uptake.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Scavenger receptors play a crucial role in cellular uptake and immune responses.
    • The scavenger receptor on sinusoidal liver cells was previously characterized for its specific uptake of formaldehyde-treated bovine serum albumin (f-Alb).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ligand specificity of the scavenger receptor responsible for f-Alb uptake.
    • To determine if the receptor binds to proteins modified by aldehydes other than formaldehyde.

    Main Methods:

    • Binding assays using radiolabeled modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) and isolated liver cells.
    • Inhibition studies with various modified albumins and antibodies.
    • In vivo plasma clearance studies of modified BSA.

    Main Results:

    • The receptor binds to BSA modified with aliphatic aldehydes (e.g., glycolaldehyde) but not aromatic aldehydes.
    • Saturation kinetics and inhibition studies confirm specific binding of modified BSA.
    • Other proteins (ovalbumin, hemoglobin) modified by aldehydes also bind to the receptor, while gamma-globulin and RNase A do not.
    • Modified BSA exhibits rapid plasma clearance, which is inhibited by unlabeled f-Alb.

    Conclusions:

    • The f-Alb receptor exhibits broad ligand specificity for aldehyde-modified proteins, not just f-Alb.
    • The receptor should be classified as a scavenger receptor for aldehyde-modified proteins.
