SDS-PAGE analysis of 35S-labeled rPLG immunoprecipitated from the culture media of transfected COS-1 cells. (A) COS-1 cells were transiently transfected with pTH3/WT (WT) or pTH3/S572P (S572P) plasmids. Cells were metabolically labeled with L-[35S] methionine, and the culture media (1.5 mL) was immunoprecipitated with goat polyclonal anti-human PLG (IgG fraction). Immunoprecipitation products were analyzed by 10% SDS-PAGE and autoradiography under nonreducing conditions. The migration of protein standards is indicated. (B) Intracellular PLG purified from HepG2 cells (CE) and protein A-Sepharose beads containing adsorbed rPLG (CM) were treated with (+) or without (−) endo H as described in Materials and Methods. Each sample was boiled without a reducing agent, centrifuged, and the supernatant was subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE as described above.
