MFG-E8 (milk fat globule-EGF factor 8) is a peripheral membrane glycoprotein, which is expressed abundantly in lactating mammary glands and is secreted in association with fat globules. This protein consists of two-repeated EGF-like domains, a mucin-like domain and two-repeated discoidinlike domains (C-domains), and contains an integrin-binding motif (RGD sequence) in the EGF-like domain. To clarify the role of each domain on the peripheral association with the cell membrane, several domain-deletion mutants of MFG-E8 were expressed in COS-7 cells. . | Eur. J.

This protein consists of two-repeated EGF-like domains a mucin-like domain and two-repeated discoidin-like domains C-domains and contains an integrin-binding motif RGD sequence in the EGF-like domain. To clarify the role of each domain on the peripheral association with the cell membrane several domain-deletion mutants of MFG-E8 were expressed in COS-7 cells. The immunofluo-rescent staining of intracellular and cell-surface proteins and biochemical analyses of cell-surface-biotinylated and secreted proteins demonstrated that both of the two C-domains were required for the membrane association. During the course of these studies for domain functions MFG-E8 but not C-domain deletion mutants was shown to be secreted as membrane vesicle complexes. By size-exclusion chromatography and ultracentrifugation analyses the complexes were characterized to have a high-molecular mass low density and higher sedimentation velocity and to be detergentsensitive. Not only such a exogenously expressed MFG-E8 but also that endogenously expressed in a mammary epithelial cell line COMMA-1D was secreted as the membrane vesicle-like complex. Scanning electron microscopic analyses revealed that MFG-E8 was secreted into the culture medium in association with small membrane vesicles with a size from 100 to 200 nm in diameter. Furthermore the expression of MFG-E8 increased the number of these membrane vesicle secreted into the .
