‘l-Labeled soybean agglutinin binds primarily to glycolipids contained in pig lym- phocyte plasma membranes as measured by in situ “staining” of membranes subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Separation of these gly- colipids by differential extraction, silicic acid chromatography, and high-performance thin-layer chromatography showed that three different species of plasma membrane glycolipid bind this lectin; trihexosyl ceramide, globoside, and ganglioside Gm in order of increasing affinity (over a range of lo- to 20-fold). Trihexosyl ceramide and globoside, major neutral membrane glycolipids, are the major binders; while GY2, a minor acidic glycolipid, is a quantitatively smaller lectin-binding component.

agglutinin (SBA) is unique among re-

tinct classes of covalent carbohydrate complexes; glycopolypeptides and glyco- lipids (1, 2). When PM are dissociated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) a variety of lectins bind to a large array of PM gly- copolypeptides and to one or more glyco- lipids which, by polyacrylamide gel elec- trophoresis, migrate as a small mixed

ported lectins in binding almost exclu- sively to the glycolipid fraction of PM (3). Because this material appears to be the major lymphocyte surface receptor for SBA (4) we have attempted to identify which particular glycolipids present in PM bind SBA, their relative amounts, and af- finities for the lectin.

below) of a published procedure (9). Identification and further separation of PM lipids was by high-per- formance thin-layer chromatography (HP-TLC) on silica gel 60 plates (Merck) with 60~353 chloro- form:methanol:water (C-M-W) as the usual devel- oping solvent. Lipid-containing components were vis- ualized with Ia vapor and carbohydrate containing components by the orcinol-HaSO, method (10).

SBA was prepared by affinity chromatography (11) and labeled with ‘261 (New England Nuclear Corp.) by the chloramine-T method (12). Binding of ‘%I-SBA to PM components or purified glycolipids was mea- sured by in situ staining of samples subjected to slab- gel SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (3). PM and AP were dissociated in SDS containing mercap- toethanol and dialyzed against the upper reservoir buffer of Neville and Glossman (13). Lipid samples (in 1:2, l:l, or 21 C-M) were evaporated to dryness and taken up in the same buffer with four to five lo- s periods of vortex mixing in 30-60 min. Samples containing pyronin Y were applied to alternate wells of a lo- or 20-well slab gel (Hoeffer) and electro- phoresed until the dye had moved 5-10 cm into the analytical gel. The slab was soaked 18 h at 25°C with buffered saline (PBS) to remove SDS, then 18 h at 4°C with ‘%I-SBA (0.1 mg/ml in PBS, sp act 40,000- 36,600 cpm/pg protein). Unbound lectin was washed from the gel with two 2- to 3-h soaks (with stirring) of PBS or for more extended periods as described previously (3). The gel was dried on filter paper with a Hoeffer slab gel drier and SBA-binding components were identified by radioautography. Specific SBA binding was quantitated by cutting the gel length-

wise, cutting each strip into l-cm sections, counting each section for =I on a Beckman Autogamma counter, and subtracting the counts per minute of an appropriate blank region of the strip.

RESULTS

Binding of ‘=I-SBA to pw@ied glycolip ids. Purified bovine brain GL-4 binds eas- ily detectable amounts of ‘%I-SBA when applied to gels in the range of 0.005-0.1 pmol/well (Fig. 1) and was chosen as our routine standard for binding studies. GL- 4 forms two mixed micelle types with SDS; a fast micelle which moves with the dye front and a slow type which remains at the origin of the analytical gel (Fig. 2). The relative amount of the slow type increases with increasing ratios of GL-USDS. Using a lo-well gel (75~1 sample in 0.1% SDS) in the usual range (0.01-0.04 pmol/well) over 95% of the binding is at the dye front (not shown). The same amount of GL-4 in a 20-well gel (25~1 sample) gave both types. In contrast the other SBA-binders, GL-3 (Fig. 2) and Gnaz (not shown), show little tendency to form the slow micelle under the same conditions. Table I shows the relative binding affinities of purified glycolipids for ?-SBA. Only GL-4, GL-3, and Gm gave observable reactions with Glllz as the strongest binder and GL-3 the weakest. Lactosyl ceramide, reported to be present in pig lymphocyte PM (2) was not available for testing.

Composition of PM and ‘%I-SBA binding to crude PM fractions. Typically 300 g of lymph nodes (l-2 X 10” cells) yield PM containing 500 f 200 mg protein, 400 f 200 mg TL, and 20 -t 10 pmol of anthrone sugar. TL contained 40-50% phospholipid as measured by phosphate analysis (14) after perchloric acid hydrolysis and lo- 15% cholesterol as measured by the me- thod of Bowman and Wolf (15). Except for the somewhat higher cholesterol content the relative composition is similar to a published report (1) on PM prepared from similar tissue using a different method. About 40% of the Anthrone sugar content of PM fractionates into AP, 40% into NL, and 10% into GS (Table II).

About 8090% of ‘%I-SBA molecules re- acting with PM components in the gel bind to species comigrating with the dye front

and essentially all of the latter material is extracted into TL (Table II). In turn 80- 90% of the binding activity of TL is frac- tionated into NL and 5-15% into GS. Bind- ing to all PM species is effectively inhib- ited by 0.05 M GalNAc (not shown), a well- known (16) SBA-binding sugar.

Of these 13 (L1-L13) are routinely visualized with I2 vapor and are the major lipids. The re- maining bands all cluster around LIZ and L13. NL fractions contain all of bands L1- 9 and essentially all of Li,, and Ln while GS contains traces of L1,, and Ln and all of Liz, L13, and the minor bands. Three major bands are not glycolipids since they do not give the normal purple orcinol stain. L1 comigrates with, and gives the same initial red stain as cholesterol while L3 and Ls stain gray-brown. They all, when extracted from the HP-TLC plate, give an anomalous yellow-brown color with the anthrone reagent. In addition L, and Ls

give the normal purple color but are lo- cated in the middle of a broad gray-brown staining lipid band. Most of the major gly- colipids comigrate with glycolipid stan- dards, the neutral glycolipids apparently migrating as doublets with the ganglio- sides as singlets. The most interesting of these are the LTe8 and Lgdl,, doublets which comigrate with GL-3 and GL-4 doublets, respectively, and LIZ which comigrates with Gm. By visual inspection of HP-TLC runs on three different PM-TL prepara- tions the major glycolipid components are L,-s> L2 > L+lo > Ln. Lz comigrates with Glc-Cer and Ln with GMas. Assuming cor- rect identification of the bands our results are qualitatively similar to those of Levis et al. (2) who isolated the relevant glyco- lipids from pig lymphocyte PM by two- dimensional TLC, analyzed them chemi- cally, and measured their amounts.

Figure 4 shows the HP-TLC patterns of fractions from a typical TL sample chro- matographed on Unisil while Table III shows their binding activity. All compo- nents staining gray-brown with the orci- no1 reagent adhered so tightly to Unisil that none of the eluting solvent disso- ciated them. The other components came off in order of decreasing HP-TLC mobil-

ity. Fractions A and B contain essentially pure L1 and Lz, respectively, and low-bind- ing activity. Fraction C (L4, Lg, L,, and L8) and D (Lg-Lls plus all the minor bands) each bind with high affinity. When NL was chromatographed instead of TL the loca- tion of the activity was the same but LIZ, Ln,, and the minor bands .were missing from fraction D (not shown). Hence one or more of the bands in fraction C and one or more of bands Lgen in fraction D posess binding activity. When GS was chromato- graphed on Unisil, three glycolipid-con- taining fractions were obtained: an early fraction E containing LIZ, L13, and their associated minor bands (Fig. 5) and high binding activity (Table III) and two later fractions F and G containing only L13 and its associated minor bands with low activ- ity. This suggests that LIZ (which comi-

To more closely identify which NL gly- colipids bind SBA, fractions C and D from a Unisil chromatograph of NL were pooled and a large sample (2-3 pmol anthrone sugar) streaked onto two 20 X 20-cm HP- TLC plates alongside appropriate stan- dards. The plates were developed, the ma- jor bands identified with a water spray and, while still wet, the LB, L4, LE., LT-8 doublet, LgmIO doublet, and Ln from each plate were pooled and immediately ex- tracted overnight at 25°C with 60:35:8 C- M-W with stirring.

ysis on aliquots of each extract and resi- due, with values ranging from 30 to 60%. Equal amounts (0.02 and 0.06 pmol/well) were tested in duplicate for lar’I-SBA bind- ing. Table III shows that highest specific binding activity was associated with Lg_iO while L7-* showed about half the specific activity, with the other bands showing very little activity. The small amount of activity associated with Ln and L5 is prob- ably due to slight contamination with L1,, and L,, respectively. Because of the large amount of sample applied to the plates individual bands were broader and reso- lution was poorer than with a typical an- alytical HP-TLC run (not shown). Two similar experiments done with a different NL but with no quantitation of eluted gly- colipids gave a similar result; high activity associated with L7-8 and Lg-io and little or none with the others. Two similar studies were done with crude NL. However the presence of components giving the anom- alous anthrone color in several of the gly- colipid bands made quantitation imprac- tical. Instead equal aliquots from each band were simply compared directly for binding activity. The results of one exper- iment are shown in Table III; high activity was associated with L,-s and Lg-iO and little activity with the others.

DISCUSSION

In situ gel binding assay has been used by several workers (3, 17-19) to identify lectin-binding membrane glycopolypep- tides. This study extends the technique to membrane glycolipids. Qualitatively it has

been used to identify SBA-binding PM gly- colipids and semiquantitatively compare their affinities for the lectin under a fixed set of conditions. The assay is less con- venient and considerably less sensitive than the microtiter plate assay (20, 21). However our ultimate goal in using this procedure is to compare the binding of SBA to PM glycopolypeptides and glyco- lipids under identical conditions and the microtiter assay doesn’t appear to be suit- able for this purpose. The gel assay could be readily modified to be more rapid and sensitive. Another major drawback to the gel assay is that it doesn’t separate the PM glycolipids. Silicic acid chromatogra- phy gives reasonable separation of several TL components. Silica gel chromatogra- phy also separates PM glycolipids (not shown) and we have obtained essentially pure L-r0 by a combination of the two pro- cedures using smaller eluting solvent steps (22). Magnani et al (23) have reported a direct in situ binding assay in which the glycolipids are separated on a film-backed TLC with a bonded resin prior to incu- bation with a radiolabeled ligand. This procedure has some obvious advantages but it cannot be used with glycopolypep- tides.

The highest affinities of SBA for Gm and GL-4 are only partly explained by its known higher affinity for GalNAc over Gal (16) and the assignment (24) of a free hy- droxyl hydrogen at the C-6 and C-4 posi- tion of the pyranose ring as being impor- tant contact points for binding. GIld2 and GL-4 both contain nonreducing terminal GalNAc.5 GM1 and GDlb each contain a ter-

minal Gal-linked j31 - 3 to a penultimate GalNAc with free C-6 and C-4 hydroxyls, yet both are poor binders. This suggests that the GalNAc or Gal residue in an SBA- binding saccharide must be at the termi- nus either because the C-3 hydroxyl is a contact point or because of steric hin- drance. The greater reactivity of GL-3 than all the other glycolipids containing a terminal Gal (Gal-Cer, Gul, Gnu,, and probably Lac-Cer) is puzzling. GL-3 is the only one containing an a-linked Gal ter- minus but Hammarstrbm et al. (24) have reported no difference in the binding of (Y- and p-methyl glycosides of Gal or GalNAc to SBA. The negative reactions with the other glycolipids are probably not due to their being poorly taken up into the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis solvent or diffusing out of the gel during the lectin-binding procedure. We (22) have subjected all the glycolipids to a mock binding experiment (no lectin present in the assay) and observed all of them pres- ent in comparable amounts at the dye front with Schiff periodate stain. We have also tested whether the samples were poorly soluble in the solvent by looking for antrhone color in the empty sample tubes. None was detected. Although we have not tested an authentic lactosyl-ceramide for binding, L4 and/or L5 are most likely PM lactosyl-ceramides and both have little or no SBA-binding activity. The assignment of L1z as being a PM Guz is not as well established as are the other SBA binders. We have looked (4) for a Gu.Jike PM sub- stance by HP-TLC on GS in two solvents which give better resolution of ganglio- sides; (a) 60:40:9 C-M-NHIOH and (b) 60:35:8 C-M-0.25% CaClz. The band cor- responding to LIZ comigrated with Gbl12 in both solvents and when the presumptive GY2 band with solvent (b) was scraped from the plate and subjected to mild Dowex-50 catalyzed acid hydrolysis the resultant material comigrated with au-

thentic asialo Ganz by HP-TLC in 60:35:8 C-M-W (4).

The reaction of SBA with GL-3, GL-4, and GY2, and their presence in PM doesn’t prove that they are surface receptors for SBA. In a future paper we will give evi- dence that, based on a comparison of the binding of SBA and chemically crosslinked SBA to lymphocyte surfaces and PM com- ponents, ‘70-80s of pig lymphocyte SBA receptors are glycolipids. The question of whether these receptors have second-mes- senger or ligand internalization roles is not answered. There is an increasing in- terest in surface gangliosides as receptors for interferon (25), thyrotrophin (26), cholera toxin (2’7), other hormones and toxins (for a review see (28)), and as sig- nals for differentiation (29). Furthermore a recent publication (30) suggests that they are involved in lymphocyte mitogen- esis. Little, if any, attention has been fo- cused on neutral glycolipids as surface re- ceptors although they are present in surface membranes in larger amounts than are the gangliosides. The rather small amounts of Gu12 in most tissues and the restricted specificity of SBA for GL-3 and GL-4 makes it potentially very useful for studies of the physiological activities of these major membrane glycolipids.
