Identification and characterization of a luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptor precursor in a human kidney cell line stably transfected with the rat luteal LH/CG receptor complementary DNA

It is well established that the LH/CG receptor expressed in gonadal cells is an 85- to 92-kilodalton (kDa) glycoprotein. Additionally, however, a number of reports have noted the existence of other putative receptor species, but few attempts have been made to characterize these variant receptor species. A cell line [293L(wt1)] had previously been isolated which expresses large numbers of high affinity cell surface LH/CG receptors. Visualization of the LH/CG receptor species expressed in these cells and in rat luteal cells using ligand blots revealed 85- and 90-kDa LH/CG receptors, respectively, while immunoblots revealed another 68-kDa glycoprotein receptor in both cell types. The presence of both the 85- and 68-kDa receptor species was confirmed using immunoprecipitation and affinity purification of metabolically labeled 293L(wt1) cells. Enzymatic deglycosylations established that the 85-kDa receptor is a sialoprotein, while the 68-kDa species contains exposed high mannose residues. Protease digestion before LH/CG receptor immunoprecipitations localized the 85-kDa receptor on the plasma membrane, while the 68-kDa receptor was shown to be located intracellularly. Pulse-chase experiments were then used to positively establish that the 68-kDa receptor protein is actually a precursor of the 85-kDa LH/CG receptor species.
