Abstract: Calnexin is an integral membrane protein that acts as a chaperone during glycoprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. Cross-linking studies were carried out with the aim of investigating the interactions of calnexin with glycoproteins in vitro. A truncated version of the integral membrane glycoprotein Glut 1 (GT155) was synthesized in a rabbit reticulocyte translation system in the presence of canine pancreatic microsomes. Following immunoprecipitation with an anticalnexin antiserum, a cross-linker-independent association was observed between GT155 and calnexin. In addition, the anti-calnexin antiserum immunoprecipitated a UV-dependent cross-linking product consisting of GT155 and a protein of approximately 60 kDa designated CAP-60 (calnexin-associated protein of 60 kDa). Both the GT155-calnexin and the GT155-CAP-60 interactions were dependent on the presence of a correctly modified oligosaccharide group on GT155, a characteristic of many calnexin interactions. A GT155 mutant that was not glycosylated (AGGT155) did not associate with calnexin or CAP-60. Calreticulin, the soluble homologue of calnexin, was also shown to interact with GT155 only when the protein bore a correctly modified oligosaccharide group. Thus, our data show that both calnexin and calreticulin with Glut 1 in a glycosylation-dependent manner.
