    Abstract Selectins are adhesion molecules that initiate tethering and rolling of leukocytes on the vessel wall. Rolling requires rapid formation and breakage of selectin-ligand bonds that must have mechanical strength to resist premature dissociation by the forces applied in shear flow. P- and L-selectin bind to the N-terminal region of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), a mucin on leukocytes. To define determinants on PSGL-1 that contribute to the kinetic and mechanical properties of bonds with selectins, we compared rolling of transfected preB cells expressing P- or L-selectin on transfected cell monolayers expressing wild-type PSGL-1 or PSGL-1 constructs with substitutions in targeted N-terminal residues. Rolling through P- or L-selectin required a Thr or Ser at a specific position on PSGL-1, the attachment site for an essential O-glycan, but required only one of three nearby Tyr residues, which are sites for Tyr-SO(3) formation. The adhesive strengths and numbers of cells rolling through P- or L-selectin were similar on wild-type PSGL-1 and on each of the three PSGL-1 constructs containing only a single Tyr. However, the cells rolled more irregularly on the single-Tyr forms of PSGL-1. Analysis of the lifetimes of transient tethers on limiting densities of PSGL-1 revealed that L-selectin dissociated faster from single-Tyr than wild-type PSGL-1 at all shears examined. In sharp contrast, P-selectin dissociated faster from single-Tyr than wild-type PSGL-1 at higher shear but not at lower shear. Thus, tyrosine replacements in PSGL-1 affect distinct kinetic and mechanical properties of bonds with P- and L-selectin.

    Abstract Under physiological shear stress, neutrophils roll on P-selectin on activated endothelial cells or platelets through interactions with P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). Both P-selectin and PSGL-1 are extended molecules. Human P-selectin contains an NH2-terminal lectin domain, an EGF domain, nine consensus repeats (CRs), a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. To determine whether the length of P-selectin affected its interactions with PSGL-1, we examined the adhesion of neutrophils to CHO cells expressing membrane-anchored P-selectin constructs in which various numbers of CRs were deleted. Under static conditions, neutrophils attached equivalently to wild-type P-selectin and to constructs containing from 2-6 CRs. Under shear stress, neutrophils attached equivalently to wild-type and 6 CR P-selectin and nearly as well to 5 CR P-selectin. However, fewer neutrophils attached to the 4 CR construct, and those that did attach rolled faster and were more readily detached by increasing shear stress. Flowing neutrophils failed to attach to the 3 CR and 2 CR constructs. Neutrophils attached and rolled more efficiently on 4 CR P-selectin expressed on glycosylation-defective Lec8 CHO cells, which have less glycocalyx. We conclude that P-selectin must project its lectin domain well above the membrane to mediate optimal attachment of neutrophils under shear forces. The length of P-selectin may: (a) facilitate interactions with PSGL-1 on flowing neutrophils, and (b) increase the intermembrane distance where specific bonds form, minimizing contacts between the glycocalyces that result in cell-cell repulsion.

    Abstract Background: The interaction between endothelium and leukocytes plays a crucial role in ischemia-reperfusion injury. P-selectin, which is expressed on activated endothelium, mediates the first step in leukocyte adherence to the endothelium. This study examined the effects of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against P-selectin on the recovery of cardiac function and myocardial neutrophil infiltration after ischemia.
    Methods and results: Thirteen blood-perfused, isolated neonatal lamb hearts underwent 2 hours of hypothermic cardioplegic arrest and 2 hours of reperfusion. Immediately before reperfusion, mAb to P-selectin was administered to the perfusate (15 micrograms/mL) in 6 hearts (group P-sel). In control (n = 7), the same volume of saline was added. Isovolumic left ventricular function and coronary blood flow were measured. At 2 hours after reperfusion, myocardial myeloperoxidase activity, an index of neutrophil accumulation, was assayed. At 30 minutes of reperfusion, hearts treated with mAb to P-selectin achieved significantly greater recovery of maximum developed pressure (70 +/- 4% in control versus 77 +/- 2% in group P-sel, P < 0.01), maximum positive first derivative of pressure (dP/dt) (64 +/- 7% in control versus 73 +/- 5% in group P-sel, P < 0.05), and maximum negative dP/dt (61 +/- 6% in control versus 70 +/- 6% in group P-sel, P < 0.05) compared with control. Percent baseline of coronary blood flow was also significantly increased in group P-sel (135 +/- 40% in control versus 205 +/- 43% in group P-sel, P < 0.05). Myocardial myeloperoxidase activity was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in group P-sel (4.7 +/- 3.2) versus control (16.0 +/- 10.1). (Units are change in absorbance/min/g tissue.)
    Conclusions: The functional blockade of P-selectin resulted in better recovery of cardiac function and attenuated neutrophil accumulation during early reperfusion. Strategies to block P-selectin mediated neutrophil adherence may have clinical application in improving myocardial function at early reperfusion.

    Abstract The use of lipidic cubic phases as crystal nucleation and growth matrices is becoming popular and has yielded crystals of soluble and membrane proteins. So far, all of the membrane proteins crystallized by this method have been colored. This feature has facilitated the detection of the often encountered microcrystals in initial screening rounds. Indeed, small colorless protein crystals have poor optical contrast as a result of the small differences in refractive index of the protein crystal and the surrounding lipidic cubic phase. While a perfect preparation of a lipidic cubic phase is transparent and optically isotropic, in a crystallization setup it frequently disguises crystals due to cracks, inclusions, surface distortions and phase boundaries. Here, several specialized microscopic techniques and illumination conditions are compared and it is found that sufficient contrast is generated by cross polarization microscopy and by Hoffman modulation contrast microscopy for the detection of colorless protein crystals.

    Abstract Integral membrane proteins are amphiphilic molecules. In order to enable chromatographic purification and crystallization, a complementary amphiphilic microenvironment must be created and maintained. Various types of amphiphilic phases have been employed in crystallizations and intricate amphiphilic microenvironmental structures have resulted from these and are found inside membrane protein crystals. In this review the process of crystallization is put into the context of amphiphile phase transitions. Finally, practical factors are considered and a pragmatic way is suggested to pursue membrane protein crystallization trials.

    Abstract This review provides detailed procedures for the crystallization of membrane proteins via the lipidic cubic phase method. Bacteriorhodopsin-specific, hands-on protocols are given for (i) the preparation of bacteriohordopsin from purple membrane by monomerization in octylglucoside and gel filtration chromatography or by selective extraction after pre-treatment with dodecyl-trimethylammonium bromide, (ii) the incorporation of bacteriorhodopsin into lipidic cubic phases by mixing in vials or within coupled syringes and, (iii) the crystallization of bacteriorhodopsin in the lipidic matrix by adding a solid salt or an overlaying with a solution. References for further useful procedures and materials are listed in order to provide biochemists and crystallographers with all information that is necessary to grow crystals of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin.
