A high-affinity radioiodinated D1 receptor photoaffinity probe, (+/-)-7-[125I]iodo-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-(4-azidophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetra hyd ro- 1H-3-benzazepine ([125I]IMAB), has been synthesized and characterized. In the absence of light, [125I]IMAB bound in a saturable and reversible manner to sites in canine brain striatal membranes with high affinity (KD approximately equal to 220 pM). The binding of [125I]IMAB was stereoselectively and competitively inhibited by dopaminergic agonists and antagonists with an appropriate pharmacological specificity for D1 receptors. The ligand binding subunit of the dopamine D1 receptor was visualized by autoradiography following photoaffinity labeling with [125I]IMAB and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon photolysis, [125I]IMAB incorporated into a protein of apparent agents in a stereoselective manner with a potency order typical of dopamine D1 receptors. In addition, smaller subunits of apparent Mr 62,000 and 51,000 were also specifically labeled by [125I]IMAB in these species. Photoaffinity labeling in the absence or presence of multiple protease inhibitors did not alter the migration pattern of [125I]IMAB-labeled subunits upon denaturing electrophoresis in both the absence or presence of urea or thiol reducing/oxidizing reagents. [125I]IMAB should prove to be a useful tool for the subsequent molecular characterization of the D1 receptor from various sources and under differing pathophysiological states. 相似文献

Large, rapidly evolving intergenic spacers in the mitochondrial DNA of the salamander family Ambystomatidae (Amphibia: Caudata) 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
We report the presence, in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of all of the
sexual species of the salamander family Ambystomatidae, of a shared 240- bp
intergenic spacer between tRNAThr and tRNAPro. We place the intergenic
spacer in context by presenting the sequence of 1,746 bp of mtDNA from
Ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum, describe the nucleotide composition of the
intergenic spacer in all of the species of Ambystomatidae, and compare it
to other coding and noncoding regions of Ambystoma and several other
vertebrate mtDNAs. The nucleotide substitution rate of the intergenic
spacer is approximately three times faster than the substitution rate of
the control region, as shown by comparisons among six Ambystoma
macrodactylum sequences and eight members of the Ambystoma tigrinum
complex. We also found additional inserts within the intergenic spacers of
five species that varied from 87-444 bp in length. The presence of the
intergenic spacer in all sexual species of Ambystomatidae suggests that it
arose at least 20 MYA and has been a stable component of the ambystomatid
mtDNA ever since. As such, it represents one of the few examples of a large
and persistent intergenic spacer in the mtDNA of any vertebrate clade.

Cloning of two additional catecholamine receptors from rat brain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
An approach based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to isolate additional members of the G-linked receptor family from a rat striatal lambda gtII cDNA library. Priming with one degenerate probe corresponding to highly conserved consensus sequences in the third transmembrane (TM) domain of 15 G-linked receptors and sequences in the phage vector resulted in one clone (G-13) encoding a dopamine D2 receptor variant with a 29 amino acid insert in the third cytoplasmic loop. In addition, the amino acid sequence encoded by clone G-36 contained conserved sequences characteristic of the G-linked class of receptors and displayed sequence homology in TM domains with the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (48%). Two conserved serine residues in TM5 postulated to be part of a ligand binding site in the adrenergic receptor, suggests that G-36 encodes a catecholaminergic receptor. Northern blot analysis confirmed the expression of G-36 in rat brain, but not in kidney, heart and lung. Several strong hybridizing bands to G-36 were obtained in both human and rat genomic DNA. The general PCR strategy employed here should prove to be extremely useful for the isolation of other members of the G-linked receptor family. 相似文献

Abstract: To understand the mechanism of interaction of the dopamine D2L receptors with NMDA receptors, we have developed a model by transfecting human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells with the human dopamine D2L receptor gene. In vitro blockade of NMDA receptors by the specific antagonists MK-801 and (±)-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP) on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells expressing human dopamine D2L receptors resulted in a significant increase in the density of D2L receptors without a significant change in receptor affinity. Moreover, the dopamine receptor mRNA level increased by ∼50% by the blockade of NMDA with MK-801. These results suggest a possible interaction of NMDA and dopamine D2L receptors in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. This system would serve as an excellent model to study the molecular mechanisms involved in the interaction of these two receptors. 相似文献

The Dopamine Transporter Is Absent in Parkinsonian Putamen and Reduced in the Caudate Nucleus 总被引:7,自引:2,他引:5

The neuronal dopamine transporter/uptake site can be covalently labeled with the photoaffinity probe 1-(2-[bis-(4-fluorophenyl) methoxy]ethyl)-4-[2-(4-azido-3-[125I]iodophenyl)ethyl]piperazine [( 125I]FAPP) and visualized following sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Upon photolysis, [125I]FAPP specifically incorporated into a polypeptide of apparent Mr = 62,000 in membranes from both the putamen and the caudate nucleus of control, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and Huntington's diseased brain, and following complete deglycosylation, migrated as an Mr approximately 48,000 polypeptide. In parkinsonian postmortem putamen, however, there was no detectable photoincorporation of [125I]FAPP into the ligand binding subunit of the dopamine transporter. [125I]FAPP did specifically label the Mr 62,000 polypeptide of parkinsonian caudate, although with efficiencies of 20-50% of control. The asymmetrical loss of the dopamine transporter in Parkinson's diseased striatum was confirmed in reversible receptor binding experiments using [3H]GBR-12935 (3H-labeled 1-[2-(diphenylmethoxy) ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine). In parkinsonian putamen, mazindol competitively inhibited the binding of [3H]GBR-12935 with an estimated affinity (Ki approximately 2,000 nM) 10 times lower than in controls (Ki approximately 30 nM), while the affinity of maxindol for [3H]GBR-12935 binding in the caudate was equal to that seen with controls (Ki approximately 50 nM). The proportion of [3H]GBR-12935 binding sites recognized by mazindol with high affinity in Parkinson's diseased caudate was, however, reduced by 50-80%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Benzodiazepine Receptor Binding Following Amygdala-Kindled Convulsions: Differing Results in Washed and Unwashed Brain Membranes 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The binding of [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]RO5-4864 was measured in unwashed brain homogenates and in extensively washed brain membranes from amygdala-kindled and "yoked" control rats sacrificed 2 weeks following the sixth stage 5 convulsion. In unwashed homogenates, [3H]flunitrazepam binding was reduced in both the hypothalamus and ipsilateral right cortex of kindled rats (unchanged in other areas). In washed brain membranes, [3H]flunitrazepam binding was unaltered in these regions; it was bilaterally elevated, however, in both the amygdala and hippocampus (unchanged in other areas). In washed membranes, the in vitro addition of gamma-aminobutyric acid enhanced [3H]flunitrazepam binding to a similar extent in kindled and control membranes. These data indicate that the type of benzodiazepine binding abnormality observed after kindling depends on the type of tissue preparation employed in the assay procedure. 相似文献

The glycoprotein nature of the ligand binding subunit of photoaffinity-labeled striatal D2 receptors was investigated. Upon photolysis, [125I]N-azidophenethylspiperone covalently incorporated into a major band of Mr 94000 with an appropriate pharmacological profile for D2 receptors as assessed by autoradiography following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The exoglycosidase, neuraminidase, altered the electrophoretic mobility of the 94 kDa labeled band to 54 kDa with a slight modification in the binding affinity of [3H]spiperone. Endoglycosidase treatment (glycopeptidase-F) produced a further increase in the mobility of the 94 kDa peptide to approximately 43 kDa. A smaller specifically photolabeled D2 receptor peptide of 34 kDa does not contain terminal sialic acid but is an N-linked glycoprotein as assessed by lectin affinity chromatography and susceptibility to digestion by glycopeptidase-F to a peptide of approximately 23 kDa. 相似文献

Direct binding and functional coupling of alpha-synuclein to the dopamine transporters accelerate dopamine-induced apoptosis. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Mutations in alpha-synuclein, a protein highly enriched in presynaptic terminals, have been implicated in the expression of familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) whereas native alpha-synuclein is a major component of intraneuronal inclusion bodies characteristic of PD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Although overexpression of human alpha-synuclein induces dopaminergic nerve terminal degeneration, the molecular mechanism by which alpha-synuclein contributes to the degeneration of these pathways remains enigmatic. We report here that alpha-synuclein complexes with the presynaptic human dopamine transporter (hDAT) in both neurons and cotransfected cells through the direct binding of the non-A beta amyloid component of alpha-synuclein to the carboxyl-terminal tail of the hDAT. alpha-Synuclein--hDAT complex formation facilitates the membrane clustering of the DAT, thereby accelerating cellular dopamine uptake and dopamine-induced cellular apoptosis. Since the selective vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in PD has been ascribed in part to oxidative stress as a result of the cellular overaccumulation of dopamine or dopamine-like molecules by the presynaptic DAT, these data provide mechanistic insight into the mode by which the activity of these two proteins may give rise to this process. 相似文献
