Popis: A region containing sites for ligand binding was localized in the 4525-amino acid residue alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor/low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (alpha 2MR/LRP) by ligand- and immunoblotting of proteinase and CNBr digests of the purified human placental protein. 125I-Labeled rat alpha 1-macroglobulin light chain, urokinase-plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 complex, and alpha 2MR-associated protein all bound to a 75-kDa CNBr-generated fragment (68 kDa after deglycosylation). In addition to the three ligands, the fragment bound a novel monoclonal antibody reacting in the region defined by amino acid residues 1165-1246 as determined by binding to recombinant fragments of alpha 2MR/LRP. The positions of methionine residues in alpha 2MR/LRP suggested that the ligand-binding CNBr fragment contained three disulfide-linked peptides comprising the residues 776-1399. This origin was confirmed by partial amino acid sequencing of the electroblotted fragment and polypeptides generated by reduction of the fragment. The identified region represents 13.6% of the molecular mass (nonglycosylated) of alpha 2MR/LRP and contains one of three large clusters of complement-type repeats.
