2-microglobulin
(
2m), which is essential for FcRn function. We observed
that, in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the function of human
FcRn in mediating the bidirectional transport of IgG was significantly
increased upon co-expression of the human isoform of
2m.
In MDCK cells, the presence of human
2m endowed upon
human FcRn an enhanced ability to exit the endoplasmic reticulum and
acquire mature carbohydrate side-chain modifications at steady state, a
faster kinetics of maturation, and augmented localization at the cell
surface as a mature glycoprotein able to bind IgG. Although human FcRn
with immature carbohydrate side-chain modifications was capable of
exhibiting pH-dependent binding of IgG, only human FcRn
with mature carbohydrate side-chain modifications was detected on the
cell surface. These results show that human FcRn travels to the cell
surface via the normal secretory pathway and that the appropriate
expression and function of human FcRn in MDCK cells depends upon the
co-expression of human
2m.
