Comparison of the specificities of laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor for binding to sulfated glycolipids

DD Roberts, CN Rao, LA Liotta, HR Gralnick and V Ginsburg

The adhesive glycoproteins laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor bind specifically and with high affinity to sulfated glycolipids. These three glycoproteins differ, however, in their sensitivity to inhibition of binding by sulfated monosaccharides and polysaccharides. Heparin strongly inhibits binding of thrombospondin but only weakly inhibits binding of laminin and von Willebrand factor. Fucoidan strongly inhibits binding of both laminin and thrombospondin but not of von Willebrand factor. Laminin shows significant specificity for inhibition by monosaccharides, whereas thrombospondin does not. Thus, specific spacial orientations of sulfate esters may be primary determinants of binding for the three proteins. Laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor also differ in their relative binding affinities for purified sulfated glycosphingolipids. The three proteins strongly prefer terminal-sulfated lipids and bind only weakly to sulfated gangliotriaosyl ceramide with a sulfate ester on the penultimate galactose. Thrombospondin binds with highest affinity to galactosyl sulfatide but only weakly to more complex sulfatides, whereas von Willebrand factor prefers galactosyl sulfatide but binds with moderate affinity to various sulfated glycolipids. Laminin also is less selective than thrombospondin but is less sensitive for detection of low sulfatide concentrations. Galactosyl sulfatide at 1-5 pmol can be detected by staining of lipids separated on high performance TLC with 125I-thrombospondin or 125I-von Willebrand factor. 125I-von Willebrand factor was examined as a reagent for detecting sulfated glycolipids in tissue extracts. Rat kidney lipids contain 5 characterized sulfated glycolipids: galactosyl ceramide I3-sulfate, lactosyl ceramide II3-sulfate, gangliotriaosyl ceramide II3-sulfate, and bis-sulfated gangliotriaosyl and gangliotetraosyl ceramides. von Willebrand factor detects all of these lipids as well as several additional minor sulfated lipids. Complex monosulfated lipids are detected in several human tissues including kidney, erythrocytes, and platelets by this technique.
