In the presence of monensin there was a dose-dependent inhibiton of link protein secretion which was very similar to that of aggregating proteoglycan, and suggested that they followed the same intracellular pathway during biosynthesis. In the presence of cycloheximide there was a similar dose-dependent inhibition of the secretion of both link protein and proteoglycan. Kinetics of secretion following inhibition of synthesis by cycloheximide showed that both proteins had similar intracellular pool sizes. Analysis of protein core and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis showed that the time for synthesis and glycosylation of proteoglycan was 22 minutes, and this was quickly followed (within 6 minutes) by secretion. Intracellular electron microscopic immunolocalisation using protein A-gold showed link protein to be present in the Golgi cisternae and vesicles, and doublelabelling experiments showed link protein only to be detected in vesicles that also labelled for proteoglycan protein core. When chondrocytes were maintained in monolayer culture for 10 days the rate of biosynthesis and secretion of proteoglycan increased although that of link protein remained constant. The control of their biosynthesis was thus shown to be independent. Within 4 hours of secretion a high proportion of link protein was incorporated into proteoglycan aggregates.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77694,"journal":{"name":"Collagen and related research","volume":"7 6","pages":"Pages 409-421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0174-173X(87)80039-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14571572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
