High impact information on LGTN

 

Biological context of LGTN

  • The clone was isolated from a human U937 promonocyte lambda gt11 cDNA library using rabbit antiserum to rat ileal ligatin [2].
  • The 225 bases of coding sequence correspond to the carboxyl region of ligatin and contain a potential acceptor site for asparagine-linked glycosylation [2].
  • A possible role for ligatin and the phosphoglycoproteins it binds in calcium-dependent retinal cell adhesion [3].
 

Anatomical context of LGTN

 

Associations of LGTN with chemical compounds

  • Ligatin exists as a filament that can be released from membranes still complexed with its bound hydrolases by treatment of membrane preparations with CaCl2 and/or pH 8 [4].
  • Ligatin can be released from intact, embryonic chick neural retinal cells by treatment with 20 mM Ca++ without adversely affecting their viability, alpha-Glucose-1-phosphate is also effective in removing ligatin-associated glycoproteins from intact cells [3].
  • The effectiveness of these two phosphomonosaccharides varied depending on the source of the enzyme: ileal beta-NAG-ligatin complexes showed a four-fold preferential dissociation with Man6P; macrophage complexes showed a 160-fold preferential dissociation with Glc 1P [5].
  • Treatment of the solubilized hydrolases with endoglucosaminidase H released phosphorous-32 label from these enzymes and prevented binding of beta-NAG to ligatin [5].
  • Isolated reactive transfectants were sequenced and 42 different genes identified including four known plasma membrane proteins: Ligatin, HLA-A, integrin alpha4 and MT5-MMP [6].
