摘要

Testican-2 is a member of the, testican group of brain extracellular proteoglycans where a 45 kDa modular protein core is composed of a follistatin-like domain, a calcium-binding domain, a thyroglobulin type-1 (Tg1) domain and an acid C-terminal region with glycosaminoglycan attachment sites. The modular structure suggests that it could participate in various interactions. The aim of the present study was to express and characterize a recombinant human testican-2 in quantities sufficient for structural and functional studies. Human cDNA coding for a 422 amino acid testican-2 protein was cloned into the pFastBac1 vector and expressed in the Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cell expression system. The protein was purified to homogeneity by three chromatographic steps using the His(6) tag in the first two steps and ion exchange chromatography as last one. The final yield of purified recombinant testican-2 was up to 3.5 mg/L culture medium and its molecular mass determined by SDS-PAGE was similar to 55 kDa. Analysis by enzymatic deglycosylation revealed presence of N-linked sugars with a total mass of 4 kDa. In contrast to the Tg1 domain of testican-1, which acts as an inhibitor of the lysosomal cysteine peptidase cathepsin L, the Tg1 domain of testican-2 did not inhibit. cathepsins L, 13, K and S. We identified the Clq subcomponent of complement component Cl as a potential interacting partner of testican-2. The Clq subcomponent is a recognition molecule which acts in concert with other Cl subcomponents to activate the classical pathway of complement activation. The reported new interaction could be of importance in various complement-mediated inflammatory and other immune processes. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
