Summary
Partial amino acid sequence analysis of a purified lymphocyte homing receptor demonstrates the presence of two amino-termini, one of which corresponds precisely to the amino-terminus of ubiquitin. This observation extends the province of this extraordinarily conserved polypeptide to the cell surface, and leads to a proposed model of the receptor complex as a ubiquitinated branched-chain glycoprotein. Functional binding of lymphocytes to high endothelial venules (HEV) requires the accessibility of the ubiquitinated region of the receptor, suggesting a possible central role for ubiquitin in cell-cell interaction and adhesion.
