Abstract

We have isolated cDNA clones encoding the entire sequence of the bovine 46 kd cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate (CD Man-6-P) receptor. Translation of CD Man-6-P receptor mRNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes results in a protein that binds specifically to phosphomannan-Sepharose, thus demonstrating that our cDNA clones encode a functional receptor. The deduced 279 amino acid sequence reveals a single polypeptide chain that contains a putative signal sequence and a transmembrane domain. Trypsin digestion of microsomal membranes containing the receptor and the location of the five potential N-linked glycosylation sites indicate that the receptor is a transmembrane protein with an extracytoplasmic amino terminus. This extracytoplasmic domain is homologous to the approximately 145 amino acid long repeating domains present in the 215 kd cation-independent Man-6-P receptor.
