Type IV collagen of Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumor matrix: identification of constituent chains
Abstract
The noncollagenous hexamer (NC1) domain of type IV collagen from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma matrix was subjected to electrophoretic, amino-terminal amino acid sequence, and immunochemical analysis to determine which of the five known kinds of alpha(IV) chains are present. Electrophoretic analysis, whether by one-dimensional or two-dimensional electrophoresis, showed that nonlathyritic and lathyritic hexamer gave nearly identical patterns. Amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of hexamer subunits, transblotted from two-dimensional gels, revealed that the hexamer subunits were derived exclusively from the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains. Western blots of hexamer subunits confirmed the sequence results, as the subunits. identified as alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) NC1 domains reacted with antibodies directed specifically against those subunits. Conversely, no reactivity of NC1 hexamer subunits was seen with Goodpasture serum, or with antibodies directed specifically against the alpha 3, alpha 4, and alpha 5 NC1 domains, confirming the lack of alpha 3, alpha 4, and alpha 5 chains. These results revealed that the type IV collagen component of the EHS sarcoma matrix is comprised exclusively of alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains. Its relative homogeneity simplifies, but restricts, interpretation of studies that employ it as a model type IV collagen because the studies would be based only on alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains.
