PMID- 14687559 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20040413 LR - 20191108 IS - 0882-4010 (Print) IS - 0882-4010 (Linking) VI - 36 IP - 2 DP - 2004 Feb TI - Mycobacterium avium-superoxide dismutase binds to epithelial cell aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and cyclophilin A. PG - 67-74 AB - Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) adheres, invades and multiplies inside epithelial cells. Earlier, we demonstrated two MAC protein adhesins, 25 and 31 kDa, binding with HEp-2 cells. The 25 kDa MAC adhesin was found to be superoxide dismutase (SOD). In this study, epithelial cell (HEp-2 and A549) ligands for MAC-SOD were identified by probing two-dimensional western blots of epithelial extracts with MAC proteins followed by monoclonal anti-MAC-SOD antibodies. Three epithelial cell proteins with molecular masses 43, 40 and 18 kDa, present in both membrane and cytosolic fractions, were found to bind with MAC-SOD. Based on the N-terminal amino acid sequences, the 43, 40 and 18 kDa epithelial proteins were identified as aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and cyclophilin A (CypA), respectively. Furthermore, MAC-SOD was found to bind to purified rabbit muscle aldolase, GAPDH and recombinant CypA in western blotting.
