![FIG. 3 Exhaustive immunoprecipitation of VL-prosap-infected Sf9 cell lysates by anti-saposin D antisera. The VL-prosapinfected insect cells were labeled for 20 h with [ 35 S]cysteine, immunoprecipitated, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. a , image from the PhosphorImager of the immunoprecipitates after nine sequential treatments of the supernatants with the antiserum. The M r ; 60,000 dense band increases in intensity through immunoprecipitations 1-5 with diminishing signal subsequently. The pattern of lower M r species differed in intensity during the sequential antiserum treatments; i.e. the M r ; 40,000 species ( arrow ) increased in relative intensity through the fifth precipitation ( lane 6 ) and were not detectable by the eighth immunoprecipitation. b , the precipitable radioactivity of [ 35 S]cysteine associated counts in the corresponding pellets. By the ninth immunoprecipitation the counts decreased to background levels.](/paper-figures/6978245372e7476b876a1165808b5592/proteolytic-processing-patterns-of-prosaposin-in-insect-and-mammalian-cells-figure-3.png)
![FIG. 4 Immunoprecipitation of VL-prosap-infected Sf9 cells following [ 35 S]cysteine labeling. a , insect cells were labeled for 20 h following infection with VL-prosap and then immunoprecipitated with anti-Nter ( N ), anti-A ( A ), or anti-D ( D ) antiserum. Analyses were by SDS-PAGE. The superscripts of N, A, and D refer to the number of sequential immunoprecipitations, and the arrows indicate the order of the antiserum treatments. The decreasing presence of a M r ; 60,000 species with sequential immunoprecipitations with anti-Nter ( lanes 1-3 ) and anti-A ( lanes 4-6 ) show the presence of two tetrasaposins containing saposins A, B, C, and D with ( lanes 1-3 ) or without ( lanes 4-6 ) the Nter sequence. The presence of a M r ; 43,000 and ; 40,000 species in lane 4 (anti-A) and lane 7 (anti-D), respectively, indicate two different species of trisaposin containing the saposin compositions AB-C and B-C-D, respectively. The disaposins A-B ( M r ; 31,000, lane 4 ) and C-D ( M r ; 27,000, lane 7 , ● ) differ in M r due to glycosylation differences (Fig. 1) and, potentially, intersaposin sequences. In panel b , Sf9 cells were pulse-labeled for 4 h and sequentially and exhaustively immunoprecipitated with the indicated antisera. Immunoprecipitates were untreated ( 2 ) or treated ( 1 ) with N -glycanase prior to SDS-PAGE. All of the detected labeled species increased their mobility after treatment with N -glycanase. The asterisk ( lane 3 ) and circle ( lane 5 ) indicate the disaposins A-B and C-D. c , Sf9 cells infected with the VL-prosap virus. After infection (36 h), Sf9 cells were pulse-labeled with [ 35 S]cysteine for 10 min and chased fresh, nonradioactive media for the indicated times. The immunoprecipitates were obtained with anti-A and were typical for the other antisaposin antisera. The asterisks in panel c refer to unidentified transient intermediate species.](/paper-figures/acf3a893e0d84599afa7ed0c7aef9066/proteolytic-processing-patterns-of-prosaposin-in-insect-and-mammalian-cells-figure-4.png)

![FIG. 6 Processing of prosaposin in cultured skin fibroblasts. HSF were labeled with [ 35 S]cysteine for 20 h, harvested, and washed. Aliquots of the same cell lysates were subjected to sequential, exhaustive immunoprecipitation with the indicated antisaposin antisera and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. In panels a-d are shown the individual typical experiments in which the order of antiserum addition was varied according to the indicated sequence below each panel . For example, in panel a , the cell lysates were exhaustively immunoprecipitated with anti-A ( A ) followed by anti-B ( B ), etc. So in panel a , lane 2 , the fluorographic image of the immunoprecipitates shows the saposin B-containing species that had remained in the supernatants following exhaustive treatment with anti-A. In panels e-h the individual lanes of panels a-d were rearranged to group all the immunoprecipitates obtained with one antiserum in a single panel . Pretreatment with other antisaposin antisera is shown below each lane . For example, panel e , lane 1 , was from a lysate that had been exhaustively immunoprecipitated with anti-A only. The lysate in lane 2 was immunoprecipitated with anti-A after exhaustive immunoprecipitation with anti-B. Lane 3 is after sequential treatment with anti-D and anti-C, etc. Thus, in panel e , the fluorographic images of the immunoprecipitates resolved on SDS-PAGE show the saposin A-containing intermediates that had remained in the supernatants after treatment with the indicated antisera. The arrows show a minor trisaposin consistent with an A-B-C composition. The asterisk is the Nter-saposin A component. l and ● , the disaposins consistent with compositions of B-C and C-D, respectively. f , an unidentifiable species.](/paper-figures/2b460e4c45434486939e390598a05465/proteolytic-processing-patterns-of-prosaposin-in-insect-and-mammalian-cells-figure-6.png)
![FIG. 7 Deglycosylation of immunoprecipitates from cultured skin fibroblasts following exhaustive immunoprecipitation with anti-saposin antisera. HSF were pulse-labeled for 20 h with [ 35 S]cysteine, immunoprecipitated with the indicated antisaposin antiserum. The immunoprecipitates were untreated ( 2 ) or treated ( 1 ) with N -glycanase and then subjected to SDS-PAGE and fluorography. In these experiments the cell lysates were treated directly with the specific antisera and were not subject to sequential, exhaustive immunoprecipitation.](/paper-figures/eefce4345d6d41f98ac88ed973406e85/proteolytic-processing-patterns-of-prosaposin-in-insect-and-mammalian-cells-figure-7.png)

“PSAP is a secreted protein that is taken up by surrounding cells, and cleaved into saposins (A, B, C, and D) in the late endosome and lysosome, where they act as co-factors for lysosmal enzymes such as GCase (52–54).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
