Abstract

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a membrane glycoprotein with type II orientation. It is predominantly localized to the apical surface in epithelial cells. Previous studies (Bantles, J. P., Feracci, H. M., Shinger, B., and Hubbard, A. L. (1987) J. Cell Biol. 105, 1241-1251) using cellular fractionation and immunoprecipitation in rat liver suggest that DPPIV is targeted to the apical surface by an indirect pathway through transient appearance in the basolateral surface followed by specific transcytosis to the apical domain. In transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells using domain-selective biotinylation and streptavidin absorption, it was, however, shown that DPPIV is directly sorted to the apical surface (Low, S. H., Wong, S. H., Tang, B. L. Subramaniam, V. N., and Hong, W. (1991) J. Biol. Chem, 266, 13391-13396). These studies suggest that the sorting pathway for DPPIV may be cell type-specific, but it cannot be ruled out that the observed difference in the DPPIV sorting pathway may be due to different methods employed for dissecting the sorting pathway. In this study, we have expressed rat DPPIV, using an expression system driven by the Rous sarcoma virus enhancer and the SV40 early promoter region, in another epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1. As in MDCK cells, DPPIV is preferentially (about 90%) localized to the apical surface. Employing identical methods used previously in MDCK cells, it was found that both direct and transcytotic pathways are involved in the apical surface localization of DPPIV in this epithelial cell type. These observations clearly illustrate that the sorting pathway of rat DPPIV is cell type-specific.
