Glycosylphosphatidylinositol
(GPI)-anchored proteins are clustered mainly in
sphingolipid-cholesterol microdomains of the plasma membrane. The
distribution of GPI-anchored fusion yellow fluorescent protein
(GPI-YFP) in the plasma membrane of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1
cells with different glycolipid compositions was investigated. Cells
depleted of glycosphingolipids by inhibiting glucosylceramide synthase
activity or cell lines expressing different gangliosides caused by
stable transfection of appropriate ganglioside glycosyltransferases or
exposed to exogenous GM1 were transfected with GPI-YFP cDNA. The
distribution of GPI-YFP fusion protein expressed at the plasma membrane
was studied using the membrane-impermeable cross-linking agent
bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate. Results indicate that GPI-YFP forms
clusters at the surface of cells expressing GM3, or cells depleted of
glycolipids, or transfected cells expressing mainly GD3 and GT3, or GM1
and GD1a, or mostly GM2, or highly expressing GM1. However, no
significant changes in membrane microdomains of GPI-YFP were detected
in the different glycolipid environments provided by the membranes of
the cell lines under study. On the other hand, wild type CHO-K1 cells
exposed to 100 µM GM1 before cross-linking with
bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate showed a dramatic reduction in the
amount of GPI-YFP clusters. These findings clearly indicate that
manipulating the glycolipid content of the cellular membrane, just by
changing the ganglioside biosynthetic activity of the cell, did not
significantly affect the association of GPI-YFP on the cell surface of
CHO-K1 cells. The effect of exogenous GM1 gangliosides on GPI-YFP
plasma membrane distribution might be a consequence of the ganglioside
level reached in plasma membrane and/or the effect of particular
ganglioside species (micelles) that lead to membrane architecture
and/or dynamic modifications.
