The hemoglobins contained within the red blood cells of the adult brushtail possum exhibited cooperative (n=2.6) oxygen binding curves with an associated p50 of 38 mm Hg at pH 7.4 and a large Bohr effect (-0.60). Stripped hemolysate showed a Bohr effect of -0.27, and was sensitive to added DPG (K=56 micromol L(-1)), ATP (K=130 micromol L(-1)), and chloride ions. Four isoforms of hemoglobin were identified using isoelectric focusing. Mass spectrometry indicated that all four isoforms most likely represent the same gene products which have differentially undergone post-translational deamidation and glutathionylation. The oxygen binding characteristics of three isolated isohemoglobins have been determined. 相似文献

The role of multiple isoforms for the alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase is essentially unknown. To examine the functional properties of the three alpha subunit isoforms, we developed a system for the heterologous expression of Na,K-ATPase in which the enzymatic activity of each isoform can be independently analyzed. Ouabain-resistant forms of the rat alpha 2 and alpha 3 subunits were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis of amino acid residues at the extracellular borders of the first and second transmembrane domains (L111R and N122D for alpha 2 and Q108R and N119D for alpha 3). cDNAs encoding the rat alpha 1 subunit, which is naturally ouabain-resistant, and rat alpha 2 and alpha 3, which were mutated to ouabain resistance (designated rat alpha 2* and rat alpha 3*, respectively) were cloned into an expression vector and transfected into HeLa cells. Resistant clones were isolated and analyzed for ouabain-inhibitable ATPase activity in the presence of 1 microM ouabain, which inhibits the endogenous Na,K-ATPase present in HeLa cells (I50 approximately equal to 10 nM). The remaining activity corresponds to Na,K-ATPase molecules containing the transfected rat alpha 1, rat alpha 2*, or rat alpha 3* isoforms. Utilizing this system, we examined Na+, K+, and ATP dependence of enzyme activity. Na,K-ATPase molecules containing rat alpha 1 and rat alpha 2* exhibited a 2-3-fold higher apparent affinity for Na+ than those containing rat alpha 3* (apparent KNa+ (millimolar): rat alpha 1 = 1.15 +/- 0.13; rat alpha 2* = 1.05 +/- 0.11; rat alpha 3* = 3.08 +/- 0.06). Additionally, rat alpha 3* had a slightly higher apparent affinity for ATP (in the millimolar concentration range) compared with rat alpha 1 or rat alpha 2* (apparent K0.5 (millimolar): rat alpha 1 = 0.43 +/- 0.12; rat alpha 2* = 0.54 +/- 0.15; rat alpha 3* = 0.21 +/- 0.04) and all three isoforms has similar apparent affinities for K+ (apparent KK+: rat alpha 1 = 0.45 +/- 0.01; rat alpha 2* = 0.43 +/- 0.004; rat alpha 3* = 0.27 +/- 0.01). This study represents the first comparison of the functional properties of the three Na,K-ATPase alpha isoforms expressed in the same cell type. 相似文献

Nine hemoglobins were purified from blood of Salmo clarki by ion-exchange chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing. The subunit structures of eight of the purified hemoglobins were studied by electrophoresis of globins in the presence of urea. Six are alpha 2 beta 2 tetramers while two appear to be heterotetramers of the type alpha alpha' beta 2 and alpha alpha' beta beta'. The effects of pH, nucleotides, and temperature on the oxygen equilibria of the purified hemoglobins were studied. Five hemoglobins with isoelectric points from 9.1 to 7.1 and one minor hemoglobin with an isoelectric point of 5.9 appear to have essentially identical oxygen binding properties. All have similar oxygen equilibria which are independent of pH and temperature and not affected by saturating amounts of ATP. Another minor hemoglobin with an isoelectric point below 5.9 has similar oxygen equilibria except for a possible pH dependence. Two hemoglobins, with isoelectric points of 6.5 and 6.4, have oxygen binding properties which are strongly pH and temperature dependent. Addition of ATP or GTP causes a large decrease in the oxygen affinity without affecting the cooperativity of oxygen binding. The effect of GTP is slightly greater than that of ATP. No significant differences were observed in the oxygen equilibria of these two hemoglobins. The red blood cells of S. clarki were found to contain large amounts of both ATP and GTP, with an ATP:GTP ratio of 3:1. Both nucleotides may be important modulators of hemoglobin oxygen affinity in S. clarki, in contrast to the situation in S. gairdneri, in which red blood cell GTP concentrations are considerably lower. The presence of six or possibly seven hemoglobins with identical oxygen binding properties in S. clarki suggests that, to a large extent, the physiological role of multiple hemoglobins in this species involves phenomena not directly related to the oxygen binding properties of the hemoglobins. 相似文献

The effect of light irradiance on the amount of ATP synthase alpha-subunit in mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) chloroplasts of C(4) species such as maize (Zea mays L., type NADP-ME), millet (Panicum miliaceum, type NAD-ME) and guinea grass (Panicum maximum, type PEP-CK) was investigated in plants grown under high, moderate and low light intensities equal to 800, 350 and 50 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1), respectively. The results demonstrate that alpha-subunit of ATP synthase in both M and BS chloroplasts is altered by light intensity, but differently in the investigated species. Moreover, we identified two isoforms of the CF(1) alpha-subunit, called alpha and alpha. The CF(1) alpha-subunit was the major isoform and was present in all light conditions, whereas alpha was the minor isoform in low light. A strong increase in the level of the alpha-subunit in maize mesophyll and bundle sheath thylakoids was observed after 50 h of high light treatment. The alpha and alpha-subunits from investigated C(4) species displayed apparent molecular masses of 64 and 67 kDa, respectively, on SDS/PAGE. The presence of the alpha-subunit of ATPase was confirmed in isolated CF(1) complex, where it was recognized by antisera to the alpha-subunit. The N-terminal sequence of alpha-subunit is nearly identical to that of alpha. Our results indicate that both isoforms coexist in M and BS chloroplasts during plant growth at all irradiances. We suggest the existence in M and BS chloroplasts of C(4) plants of a mechanism(s) regulating the ATPase composition in response to light irradiance. Accumulation of the alpha isoform may have a protective role under high light stress against over protonation of the thylakoid lumen and photooxidative damage of PSII. 相似文献

We examined for the first time the hemoglobin components of the blood of the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri and their functional responses to pH and the allosteric modulators adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (BPG) and inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) at 25 degrees C. Lysates prepared from stripped, unfractionated hemolysate produced sigmoidal oxygen equilibrium curves with high oxygen affinity (oxygen partial pressure required for 50% hemoglobin saturation, p(50)=5.3 mmHg) and a Hill coefficient of 1.9 at pH 7.5. p(50) was 8.3 and 4.5 mmHg at pH 6 and 8, respectively, which corresponded to a modest Bohr coefficient (Delta log p(50)/Delta pH) of -0.13. GTP increased the pH sensitivity of oxygen binding more than ATP, such that the Bohr coefficient was -0.77 in the presence of 2 mmol L(-1) GTP. GTP was the most potent regulator of hemoglobin affinity, with concentrations of 5 mmol L(-1) causing an increase in p(50) from 5 to 19 mm Hg at pH 7.5, while the order of potency of the other phosphates was IHP>ATP>BPG. Three hemoglobin isoforms were present and each contained both alpha and beta chains with distinct molecular weights. Oxygen affinity and pH-dependence of isoforms I and II were essentially identical, while isoform III had a lower affinity and increased pH-dependence. The functional properties of the hemoglobin system of Neoceratodus appeared consistent with an active aquatic breather adapted for periodic hypoxic episodes. 相似文献

The distributions of alpha-subunit isoforms of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase in rat pituitary were determined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Immunoreactivity for all three forms is present in the neural lobe, whereas the anterior lobe contains only alpha 1 and alpha 2. Most areas of the intermediate lobe exhibit faint immunoreactivity for only alpha 1, but thin strands of cells which stain strongly for all three isoforms are also present in this lobe. The previously reported ouabain inhibitable Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in the neural lobe is consistent with the presence of both alpha 2 and alpha 3 subunits. 相似文献

Nonmuscle tropomyosin from ascites tumor cell microvilli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tropomyosin has been isolated from microvilli preparations from 13762 rat mammary adenocarcinoma ascites tumor cells by Triton extraction and pelleting of the microvillar microfilament core, extraction of the microfilament core with 1 M KCl, heat treatment, and hydroxyapatite chromatography. Three major isoforms, designated 31K-a (acidic), 31K-b (basic), and 29K, were identified as tropomyosins by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing-dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, a urea shift on dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, chemical cross-linking, amino acid analysis, and molecular weight determinations. The native (60,000) and subunit (31,000 and 29,000) molecular weights, the amino acid composition, and the stoichiometry for binding to F-actin (actin/tropomyosin, 6:1) were typical of nonmuscle tropomyosins. The amount of tropomyosin present in the microvilli preparations is sufficient to saturate about half of the microvillar F-actin. By two-dimensional isoelectric focusing-dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, the 31K isoforms appeared similar to isoforms of normal rat kidney cells but the 29K isoform was apparently smaller than any normal rat kidney isoforms. All three isoforms bound to F-actin, but the 29K form bound most strongly. Its behavior was similar to that of muscle tropomyosin, exhibiting saturable binding as a function of both ionic strength and Mg2+ concentration. In contrast, the 31K isoforms bound more weakly and required higher concentrations of Mg2+ for binding than that required for saturation with 29K (4 mM). These results clearly indicate that nonmuscle tropomyosin isoforms from a single source and location (subplasmalemmal) in the cell can exhibit different properties. 相似文献

We have characterized the physiological and biochemical properties of the Na(+)/K(+) pump and its molecular expression in L8 rat muscle cells. Pump properties were measured by [(3)H]ouabain binding and (86)Rb uptake. Scatchard plot analysis of specific ouabain binding indicated the presence of a single family of binding sites with a B(max) of approximately 135 fmol/ mg P and a K(D) of 3.3 x 10(-8). (86)Rb uptake due to specific pump activity was found to be 20% of the total in L8 cells. The results indicated lower affinity of L8 cells for ouabain and lower activity of the pump than that reported for chick or rat skeletal muscle in primary culture. Both the alpha(1) and beta(1) protein and mRNA isoforms were expressed in myoblasts and in myotubes, while the alpha(2), alpha(3), and beta(2) isoforms were not detectable. We attempted to overcome low physiological expression of the Na(+)/K(+) pump by employing a vector expressing an avian high affinity alpha subunit. This allowed identification of the transfected subunit separate from that endogenously expressed in L8 cells. Successful transfection into L8 myoblasts and myotubes was recognized by anti-avian alpha subunit monoclonal antibodies. Fusion index, Na(+)/K(+) pump activity, and the level of the transmembrane resting potential were all significantly greater in transfected L8 (tL8) cells than in non-tL8. The total amount of alpha subunit (avian and rat) in tL8 cells was greater than that (only rat) in non-tL8 cells. This relatively high abundance of the Na(+)/K(+) pump in transfected cells may indicate that avian and rat alpha subunits hybridize to form functional pump complexes. 相似文献

Several isoforms of organellar Ca(2+)-ATPases have been identified, each of which is expressed in a tissue-specific manner. In order to examine the functional properties of fast-twitch (SERCA 1a), cardiac/slow-twitch (SERCA 2a), and non-muscle (SERCA 3) isoforms of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, cDNAs of each type were expressed transiently in COS-1 cells. A study of the Ca2+ dependence of Ca2+ uptake showed that SERCA 1 and SERCA 2 have identical Ca2+ dependences (K0.5 = pCa 6.87 +/- 0.03 and pCa 6.87 +/- 0.02, respectively), but SERCA 3 has a lower Ca2+ dependence (K0.5 = pCa 6.32 +/- 0.03). A study of the ATP dependence of Ca2+ uptake showed that SERCA 1, 2, and 3 have almost identical ATP dependences. Average Hill coefficients derived from Ca2+ uptake curves ranged from 1.7 to 1.8 for the three isoforms. In order to identify which regions of the linear sequence determine this difference in Ca2+ dependence, chimeric Ca(2+)-ATPases between SERCA 2 and SERCA 3 were constructed. Chimeric Ca(2+)-ATPases containing the nucleotide binding/hinge domain of SERCA 2 had SERCA 2 type Ca2+ dependence, but both nucleotide binding/hinge and COOH-terminal transmembrane domains of SERCA 3 were required for SERCA 3 type Ca2+ dependence. Accordingly, structural interactions between the nucleotide binding/hinge and COOH-terminal transmembrane domains appear to determine isoform-specific Ca2+ dependences. 相似文献

In order to understand the molecular mechanism of ouabain resistance in the toad Bufo marinus, Na,K-ATPase alpha and beta subunits have been cloned and their functional properties tested in the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system. According to sequence comparison between species, alpha 1, beta 1, and beta 3 isoforms were identified in a clonal toad urinary bladder cell line (TBM 18-23). The sequence of the alpha 1 isoform is characterized by two positively charged amino acids (Arg, Lys) at the N-terminal border of the H1-H2 extracellular loop and no charged amino acid at the C terminus, a pattern distinct from the ouabain-resistant rat alpha 1 isoform. The coexpression of alpha 1 beta 1 or alpha 1 beta 3 TBM subunits in the Xenopus oocyte resulted in the expression of identical maximum Na,K-pump currents with identical inhibition constant for ouabain (Ki) (alpha 1 beta 1: 53 +/- 3 microM; n = 7 vs. alpha 1 beta 3: 57 +/- 3.0 microM; n = 8) but distinct potassium half activation constant (K1/2) (alpha 1 beta 1: 0.87 +/- 0.08 mM, n = 16; alpha 1 beta 3: 1.29 +/- 0.07 mM, n = 17; p less than 0.005). We conclude that (i) the TBM alpha 1 isoform is necessary and sufficient to confer the ouabain resistant phenotype; (ii) the beta 3 or beta 1 subunit can associate with the alpha 1 equally well without affecting the ouabain-resistant phenotype; (iii) some specific sequence of the beta subunit can modulate the activation of the Na,K-pump by extracellular potassium ions. 相似文献

Active preparations of Na+,K(+)-ATPase containing three types of catalytic isoforms were isolated from the bovine brain to study the structure and function of the sodium pump. Na+,K(+)-ATPase from the brain grey matter was found to have a biphasic kinetics with respect to ouabain inhibition and to consist of a set of isozymes with subunit composition of alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 2 beta m and alpha 3 beta m (where m = 1 and/or 2). The alpha 1 beta 1 form clearly dominated. For the first time, glycosylation of the beta 1-subunit of the alpha 1 beta 1-type isozymes isolated from the kidney and brain was shown to be different. Na+,K(+)-ATPase from the brain stem and axolemma consisted mainly of a mixture of alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 3 beta 1 isozymes having identical ouabain inhibition constants. In epithelial and arterial smooth muscle cells, where the plasma membrane is divided into functionally and biochemically distinct domains, the polarized distribution of Na+,K(+)-ATPase is maintained through interactions with the membrane cytoskeleton proteins ankyrin and spectrin (Nelson and Hammerton, 1989; Lee et al., 1996). We were the first to show the presence of the cytoskeleton protein tubulin (beta 5-isoform) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in a high-molecular-weight complex with Na+,K(+)-ATPase in brain stem neuron cells containing alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 3 beta 1 isozymes. Consequently, the influence of not only subunit composition, but also of glycan and cytoskeleton structures and other plasma membrane-associated proteins on the functional properties of Na+,K(+)-ATPase isozymes is evident. 相似文献

KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 subunits encode for the muscarinic-regulated current (I(KM)), a sub-threshold voltage-dependent K+ current regulating neuronal excitability. In this study, we have investigated the involvement of I(KM) in dopamine (DA) release from rat striatal synaptosomes evoked by elevated extracellular K+ concentrations ([K+]e) and by muscarinic receptor activation. [3H]dopamine ([3H]DA) release triggered by 9 mmol/L [K+]e was inhibited by the I(KM) activator retigabine (0.01-30 micromol/L; Emax = 54.80 +/- 3.85%; IC50 = 0.50 +/- 0.36 micromol/L). The I(KM) blockers tetraethylammonium (0.1-3 mmol/L) and XE-991 (0.1-30 micromol/L) enhanced K+-evoked [3H]DA release and prevented retigabine-induced inhibition of depolarization-evoked [3H]DA release. Retigabine-induced inhibition of K+-evoked [3H]DA release was also abolished by synaptosomal entrapment of blocking anti-KCNQ2 polyclonal antibodies, an effect prevented by antibody pre-absorption with the KCNQ2 immunizing peptide. Furthermore, the cholinergic agonist oxotremorine (OXO) (1-300 micromol/L) potentiated 9 mmol/L [K+]e-evoked [3H]DA release (Emax = 155 +/- 9.50%; EC50 = 25 +/- 1.80 micromol/L). OXO (100 micromol/L)-induced [3H]DA release enhancement was competitively inhibited by pirenzepine (1-10 nmol/L) and abolished by the M3-preferring antagonist 4-diphenylacetoxy N-methylpiperidine methiodide (1 micromol/L), but was unaffected by the M1-selective antagonist MT-7 (10-100 nmol/L) or by Pertussis toxin (1.5-3 microg/mL), which uncouples M2- and M4-mediated responses. Finally, OXO-induced potentiation of depolarization-induced [3H]DA release was not additive to that produced by XE-991 (10 micromol/L), was unaffected by retigabine (10 micromol/L), and was abolished by synaptosomal entrapment of anti-KCNQ2 antibodies. Collectively, these findings indicate that, in rat striatal nerve endings, I(KM) channels containing KCNQ2 subunits regulate depolarization-induced DA release and that I(KM) suppression is involved in the reinforcement of depolarization-induced DA release triggered by the activation of pre-synaptic muscarinic heteroreceptors. 相似文献

The human insulin receptor is expressed as two isoforms that are generated by alternate splicing of its mRNA; the B isoform has 12 additional amino acids (718-729) encoded by exon 11 of the gene. The isoforms have been reported to have different ligand binding properties. To further characterize their insulin binding properties, we have performed structure-directed alanine-scanning mutagenesis of a major insulin binding site of the receptor, formed from the receptor L1 domain (amino acids 1-470) and amino acids 705-715 at the C terminus of the alpha subunit. Alanine mutants of each isoform were transiently expressed as recombinant secreted extracellular domain in 293 cells, and their insulin binding properties were evaluated by competitive binding assays. Mutation of Arg(86) and Phe(96) of each isoform resulted in receptors that were not secreted. The Kds of unmutated receptors were almost identical for both isoforms. Several new mutations compromising insulin binding were identified. In L1, mutation of Leu(37) decreased affinity 20- to 40-fold and mutations of Val(94), Glu(97), Glu(120), and Lys(121) 3 to 10-fold for each isoform. A number of mutations produced differential effects on the two isoforms. Mutation of Asn(15) in the L1 domain and Phe(714) at the C terminus of the alpha subunit inactivated the A isoform but only reduced the affinity of the B isoform 40- to 60-fold. At the C terminus of the alpha subunit, mutations of Asp(707), Val(713), and Val(715) produced 7- to 16-fold reductions in affinity of the A isoform but were without effect on the B isoform. In contrast, alanine mutations of Tyr(708) and Asn(711) inactivated the B isoform but only reduced the affinities of the A isoform 11- and 6-fold, respectively. In conclusion, alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the insulin receptor A and B isoforms has identified several new side chains contributing to insulin binding and indicates that the energetic contributions of certain side chains differ in each isoform, suggesting that different molecular mechanisms are used to obtain the same affinity. 相似文献

Human red blood cell hexokinase exists in multiple molecular forms with different isoelectric points but similar kinetic and regulatory properties. All three major isoenzymes (HK Ia, Ib, and Ic) are inhibited competitively with respect to Mg.ATP by glucose 6-phosphate (Ki = 15 microM), glucose 1,6-diphosphate (Ki - 22 microM), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (Ki = 4 mM), ATP (Ki = 1.5 mM), and reduced glutathione (Ki = 3 mM). All these compounds are present in the human erythrocyte at concentrations able to modify the hexokinase reaction velocity. However, the oxygenation state of hemoglobin significantly modifies their free concentrations and the formation of the Mg complexes. The calculated rate of glucose phosphorylation, in the presence of the mentioned compounds, is practically identical to the measured rate of glucose utilization by intact erythrocytes (1.43 +/- 0.15 mumol h-1 ml red blood cells-1). Hexokinase in young red blood cells is fivefold higher when compared with the old ones, but the concentration of many inhibitors of the enzyme is also cell age-dependent. Glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 1,6-diphosphate, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, ATP, and Mg all decay during cell ageing but at different rates. The free concentrations and the hemoglobin and Mg complexes of both ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate with hemoglobin in the oxy and deoxy forms have been calculated. This information was utilized in the calculation of glucose phosphorylation rate during cell ageing. The results obtained agree with the measured glycolytic rates and suggest that the decay of hexokinase during cell ageing could play a critical role in the process of cell senescence and destruction. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity is present in both differentiated plasma membranes from Electrophorus electricus (L.) electrocyte. Considering that the alpha subunit is responsible for the catalytic properties of the enzyme, the aim of this work was to study the presence and localization of alpha isoforms (alpha1 and alpha2) in the electrocyte. Dose-response curves showed that non-innervated membranes present a Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity 2.6-fold more sensitive to ouabain (I50=1.0+/-0.1 microM) than the activity of innervated membranes (I50=2.6+/-0.2 microM). As depicted in [3H]ouabain binding experiments, when the [3H]ouabain-enzyme complex was incubated in a medium containing unlabeled ouabain, reversal of binding occurred differently: the bound inhibitor dissociated 32% from Na+, K(+)-ATPase in non-innervated membrane fractions within 1 h, while about 50% of the ouabain bound to the enzyme in innervated membrane fractions was released in the same time. These data are consistent with the distribution of alpha1 and alpha2 isoforms, restricted to the innervated and non-innervated membrane faces, respectively, as demonstrated by Western blotting from membrane fractions and immunohistochemical analysis of the main electric organ. The results provide direct evidence for a distinct distribution of Na+, K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit isoforms in the differentiated membrane faces of the electrocyte, a characteristic not yet described for any polarized cell. 相似文献

We have previously shown that undifferentiated N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells express only one isoform of Go alpha (pI = 5.8), whereas differentiated neuroblastoma cells expressed, in addition to this isoform, another Go alpha with a more acidic pI (5.55). Moreover, primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells, which are extremely well differentiated cells yielding a high density of synapses, expressed only a single Go alpha isoform with a pI of 5.55 (Brabet, P., Pantaloni, C., Rodriguez Martinez, J., Bockaert, J., and Homburger, V. (1990) J. Neurochem. 54, 1310-1320). In this report, using biosynthetic labeling with [35S]methionine and specific quantitative immunoprecipitation with a polyclonal antibody raised against the purified Go alpha protein, we have determined 1) the degradation rate of total Go alpha (sum of the two isoforms) in differentiated as well as in undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells and in cerebellar granule cells, 2) the degradation rates of each isoform in differentiated neuroblastoma cells. The t 1/2 for total Go alpha protein degradation was very different in the three neuronal cell populations and was 28 +/- 5 h (n = 5), 58 +/- 9 h (n = 5), and 154 +/- 22 h (n = 6) in undifferentiated, differentiated neuroblastoma, and granule cells, respectively. Using two-dimensional gel analysis of immunoprecipitates, we have also determined the individual t 1/2 for degradation of each Go alpha isoform in differentiated neuroblastoma cells, in which the two Go alpha isoforms were expressed. Results indicated that the two Go alpha isoforms exhibit similar t1/2 for degradation (49 +/- 5 h, n = 3). Thus, the t1/2 for degradation of the more basic Go alpha isoform is higher in differentiated neuroblastoma cells (49 +/- 5 h, n = 3) than in undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells (28 +/- 5 h, n = 5) which expressed only the more basic Go alpha isoform. It can be concluded that the degradation rate of the more basic Go alpha isoform is not a characteristic of the protein itself but depends on the state of the cell differentiation. The comparison between the t1/2 for degradation of the more acidic Go alpha isoform is differentiated neuroblastoma cells (51 +/- 6 h, n = 3) with that of cerebellar granule cells (154 +/- 22 h, n = 6) suggests that there is also a decrease in the degradation rate of the more acidic Go alpha isoform during differentiation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

血管平滑肌细胞膜上存在氯离子通道,不仅参与调节平滑肌细胞的肌原性紧张,而且参与多种血管床的神经平滑肌细胞之间的信息传递,但氯离子通道及其阻断剂对耳蜗螺旋动脉(spiral modiol arartery,SMA)平滑肌细胞兴奋性接头电位(excitatory junction potential,EJP)是否有影响,尚不清楚。本实验运用细胞内微电极记录技术,在豚鼠耳蜗SMA离体标本上,研究氯通道阻断剂(niflumic acid,NFA,indanyloxyacetic acid 94,IAA-94;disodium 4,4’-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2.2’-disulfonate,DIDS)对去甲肾上腺素(norepinephrine,NE)引起SMA平滑肌细胞去极化反应和平滑肌细胞EJP的影响。结果显示,多数SMA平滑肌细胞在适宜的刺激下,通过神经兴奋传递产生EJP(75%,n=49)。在联合使用α1(prazosin,0.1-1 μmol/L),α2(idazoxan,0.3-1μmol/L)和P2x(PPADS,10-100μmol/L)受体拮抗剂时,所产生的EJP幅值仅有30%-80%被抑制。在使用上述拮抗剂的基础上,NFA(10-1000μmol/L)能进一步抑制EJP,而且缩短EJP的时程。减少细胞外氯离子浓度(由135.6mmol/L减少到60mmol/L),在同样刺激强度下激起的EJP的幅度和时程均增加,低氯的这一作用可被IAA-94和DIDS所反转。NFA和IAA-94也可进一步抑制α1、α2和β受体拮抗剂联合使用不能消除的NE(1—50μmol/L)引起的去极化反应。结果提示:NE可能通过激活一类非α、非β肾上腺能受体(可能属于γ肾上腺能受体)引起氯离子通道开放,增加氯离子电导,调节耳蜗SMA平滑肌细胞的生理活动。 相似文献

The alpha and alpha(+) isoforms of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were isolated from the kidney and brain of rats and purified. Their antisera were raised to analyze the alpha isoforms in rat tissues. We found that the submandibular gland (SMG) contains a new immunoreactive alpha subunit isoform, designated alpha(S) in this report, in addition to alpha identical with those found in the kidney or brain. The new alpha(S) strongly reacted with anti-alpha-antiserum but to a much lesser extent with anti-alpha(+)-antiserum. The alpha(S) had a slightly lower molecular weight (approximately 90,000) than the brain and kidney alpha isoforms. Various fractions of SMG tissues were added to the SMG microsomes and incubated in order to test whether or not the alpha(S) is formed artificially; no increase of alpha(S) was observed by these treatments, suggesting that the alpha(S) was not the product formed from alpha during the preparation of microsome sample, but was rather a protein originally present in the SMG. The alpha(S) protein was not detected in the SMG of 2- or 5-week-old rats, but it gradually increased in rats older than 8 weeks, reaching the maximum in 30-week-old animals. The Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in the SMG increased concomitantly with the increase of alpha(S), indicating that Na+,K(+)-ATPase comprising alpha(S) also shows enzyme activity; it is speculated that alpha(S) may have some unique and unknown function(s) in older rats. 相似文献
