Background: Prominin is a novel plasma membrane protein with an N-terminal extracellular domain, five transmembrane segments flanking two short cytoplasmic loops ａnd two large glycosylated extracellular domains, ａnd a cytoplasmic C-terminal domain. DNA sequences from Caenorhabditis elegans predict the existence of a protein with the same features, suggesting that prominin is conserved between vertebrates ａnd invertebrates. Prominin is found not only in the neuroepithelium but also in various other epithelia of the mouse embryo. In the adult mouse, prominin has been detected in the brain ependymal layer, ａnd in kidney tubules. In these epithelia, prominin is specific to the apical surface, where it is selectively associated with microvilli ａnd microvilli-related structures. Remarkably, upon expression in CHO cells, prominin is preferentially localized to plasma membrane protrusions such as filopodia, lamellipodia, ａnd microspikes. These observations imply that prominin contains information to be targeted to, and/or retained in, plasma membrane protrusions rather than the planar cell surface. Moreover, results show that the mechanisms underlying targeting of membrane proteins to microvilli of epithelial cells ａnd to plasma membrane protrusions of non-epithelial cells are highly related.
