Proteolytic processing of DSD-1-PG/phosphacan in wild-type mice after KA injection. Partially purified protein extracts from KA-injected (inj) or PBS-injected (uninj) wild-type (wt), tPA−/− and plg−/− hippocampi, as described in Materials and Methods, were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, using an anti-DSD-1-PG/phosphacan antibody. Note the processing that has occurred in the wild-type injected lane, and the absence of such processing in the corresponding tPA−/− and plg−/− lanes. The arrows point to the 400-kD DSD-1-PG/phosphacan protein band (upper arrow), and the DSD-1-PG/phosphacan protein core of 180 kD (lower arrow), which appears more susceptible to plasmin cleavage. Top, Coomassie-stained gel showing comparable loading among the different lanes; bottom, Western blot of the Coomassie-stained gel (top). This experiment has been repeated five times.
