1. Figure 1. Coimmunoprecipitation of IGFBP-5 and PAI-1
Figure 1. Coimmunoprecipitation of IGFBP-5 and PAI-1. A, IGFBP-5, 50 ng/ml, was incubated with PAI-1, 100 ng/ml, and anti-PAI-1 antibody, 1:5000 dilution, for 16 h at 4 C. At that time, immunoprecipitation was conducted by adding protein A sepharose, as described in Materials and Methods. The pellets were dissolved in Laemmli sample buffer and the products electrophoresed through a 12.5% gel, then transferred to Immobilon membranes and immunoblotted using a 1:1000 dilution of anti-IGFBP-5 antiserum. The results show that, in the presence of PAI-1, IGFBP-5 could be coimmunoprecipitated, whereas the anti-PAI-1 antibody did not immunoprecipitate IGFBP-5 without PAI-1 being added. PAI-1 did not react with the IGFBP-5 antibody. B, ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5, 50,000 cpm/ml, was incubated with anti-PAI-1 antiserum (1:5000) and PAI-1 (100 ng/ml). In the presence of PAI-1, an abundant ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 band was detected. In the absence of the PAI-1 antibody or unlabeled PAI-1, minimal ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 was immunoprecipitated. The asterisk denotes an incubation mixture that contained excess unlabeled IGFBP-5 (100 ng/ml).

2. Figure 3. The effects of IGFBP-5 peptides on PAI-1 and IGFBP-5 binding
Figure 3. The effects of IGFBP-5 peptides on PAI-1 and IGFBP-5 binding. Radiolabeled IGFBP-5, 50,000 cpm/ml, was incubated with unlabelled PAI-1, 100 ng/ml, and 100 μg/ml of one of four peptides, lanes 2–5, that contained various sequences within the IGFBP-5 molecule (9 ). After a 14-h incubation, the products were coimmunoprecipitated and processed by SDS-PAGE and transferred to Immobilon. The figure is an autoradiogram showing the amount of ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 that was coimmunoprecipitated. Lanes 1–5, ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5; lane 2, peptide A; lane 3, peptide B; lane 4, peptide C; lane 5, peptide D. The radiolabeled band with an M_r estimated of 18 kDa shown in lanes 1, 4, and 5 is a fragment of radiolabeled IGFBP-5.

3. Figure 2. The effects of glycosaminoglycans on IGFBP-5/PAI-1 association. ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 was incubated without, lane 1, or with 100 ng/ml of PAI-1 (lanes 2–7), then immunoprecipitated as described in Materials and Methods. After immunoprecipitation, the pellets were dissolved in Laemmli sample buffer and the products electrophoresed, then transferred to Immobilon membranes and autoradiography performed directly; lanes 2–7, ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5; lanes 3–7, ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 plus various glycosaminoglycans (0.1 μg/ml). Lane 3, heparin; lane 4, heparan sulfate; lane 5, chondroitin sulfate A; lane 6, chondroitin sulfate B; lane 7, chondroitin sulfate C. The radiolabeled band shown in lane 1 that migrates with an M_r estimate of 16 kDa is a fragment of radiolabeled IGFBP-5.

Figure 4. Coimmunoprecipitation of IGFBP-5 mutants and PAI-1. One hundred nanograms per milliliter of each IGFBP-5 mutant was incubated with 100 ng/ml of PAI-1 and the products immunoprecipitated using anti-PAI-1 antiserum as described previously. After SDS-PAGE, the products were transferred to an Immobilon membrane, then ligand blotted using ¹²⁵I-IGF-I as described in methods. Lane 1, wild-type IGFBP-5, no PAI-1; lanes 2–8, PAI-1 plus IGFBP-5 or mutants. Lane 2, wild-type IGFBP-5; lane 3, K134A/R136A; lane 4, R202A/K206A/R207A; lane 5, R201A/K202N/K206N/K208N; lane 6, K211N; lane 7, R201N/K202N; lane 8, K211N/R214A/K217A/R218A.

Figure 5. The effect of PAI-1 on IGFBP-5 proteolysis. IGFBP-5, 50 ng/ml, was incubated with IGFBP-5 protease that had been purified from human fibroblast conditioned medium. After a 14-h incubation, the products were electrophoresed and analyzed by immunoblotting. Lanes 1–4, IGFBP-5 plus protease; lane 2, vitronectin, 10 μg/ml; lane 3, PAI-1, 10 μg/ml; lane 4, PAI-1 plus vitronectin.

7. Figure 7. Scatchard plot. ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 (30,000 cpm/tube) was incubated with increasing concentrations of unlabeled IGFBP-5 (5–1000 ng/ml) and PAI-1, 100 ng/ml. The products were immunoprecipitated as described in Materials and Methods and bound ¹²⁵I-IGFBP-5 determined directly by gamma counting. Nonspecific binding was defined as the cpm bound in the presence of 10 μg/ml of unlabeled IGFBP-5 and was less than 4% of the total binding.
