Revised Manuscript Received March 23, 1990 abstract: Hydrophobic binding properties of purified human respiratory mucins were studied by the fluorescence probe technique using mansylphenylalanine (Mns-Phe) as the fluorescent probe. Mucins were purified from tracheobronchial secretions of cysticfibrosis (CF) and asthmatic patients, as well as from individuals with normal lungs, according to a protocol earlier established in our laboratory. Purified mucins were subjected to reduction-alkylation and Pronase digestion to study the effects of these treatments on the hydrophobic properties of the mucins. In addition, the effects of increased NaCl concentration on the hydrophobic properties of native and reduced-alkylated mucins were also investigated. Native mucins showed evidence of a large number of low-affinity (A! D~ 10-5 M) binding sites for the hydrophobic ligand Mns-Phe and had between 40 and 50 binding sites/mg of mucin. Reduction of mucin using dithiothreitol in thepresence of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride and subsequent alkylation with iodoacetamide apparently caused marked conformational changes in the mucin molecules as revealed by the presence of both high-affinity (AID~ 10~ 6 M) and low-affinity (KD~ 10" 5 M) binding sites for the probe and an increase in the number of probe binding sites. Pronase digestion of the native and reduced-alkylated mucins almost completely eliminated binding of the fluorescentprobe to the mucins, showing that the binding sites are on the nonglycosylated, Pronase-sensitive portion of the mucin molecules. Increasing NaCl concentrations (0.03-1.0 M) did not appreciably alter the native mucin-induced Mns-Phe fluorescence, while that of the reduced-alkylated mucin-induced Mns-Phe fluorescence was progressively increased. The results indicate that further unfolding of reduced-alkylated mucins at increased NaCl concentrations exposes additional hydrophobic domains. Also, the greater increase in the number of probe binding sites in the reduced-alkylated CF mucin as compared to reduced-alkylated non-CF mucins suggests possible differences in the three-dimensional structure of CF and non-CF mucins. Thus, this study provided evidence for the presence of hydrophobicdomains in human respiratory mucins, andthese properties, at least in part, may contribute to the polymeric structure of mucins through noncovalent interactions.
