Analogues of human glycophorins have been identified in many species, including mouse. In murine erythroleukemia cells three mature glycophorins (gp-2, gp-3, 34K) and four putative precursors (21K, 23K, 26K, and 27K) are expressed. Pulse-chase labeling experiments suggest that 21K and 23K are the precursors of the gp-3 doublet of proteins 29K and 30K. Precursor-product relationships were not found for 26K, 27K, 34K, and gp-2. Two experimental approaches, i.e. cell-free translation and subcellular distribution, have identified processing anomalies in the glycophorins. First, signal sequences, if present, are apparently not cleaved upon translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane; second, the 26K and 27K putative precursors are inefficiently translocated. The majority accumulates in the cytosol or associates with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane without acquiring protection against V8 protease. Only a minority (approximately 10%) is properly translocated.
