We previously cloned the gene responsible for the X-linked form of the disease encoding a 680 amino acid protein, KAL, which displays the unusual combination of a protease inhibitor domain with fibronectin type III repeats. Previous expression studies by northern blot and RNA in situ hybridization in human and chick indicated that the gene is expressed at very low levels in the olfactory bulb during development. Therefore, low abundance of the protein has hampered a detailed biochemical characterization. By overexpressing both the human and chick KAL cDNAs in eukaryotic cells, we now provide evidence that KAL is a glycosylated peripheral membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 100 kDa. We show that this 100 kDa protein is proteolytically processed on the cell membrane to yield a 45 kDa diffusible component, which is detectable with an antisera against the C-terminal part of the protein and binds tightly to cell surfaces. These data provide a first step toward understanding KAL function in neuronal interactions and neurite extension in the olfactory bulb and suggest that KAL might be a diffusible chemoattractant molecule for olfactory axons."xsd:string |
