Several studies have demonstrated that the intrinsic catalytic activity of cell surface glucose transporters is highly regulated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes expressing GLUT1 (erythrocyte/brain) and GLUT4 (adipocyte/skeletal muscle) glucose transporter isoforms. For example, inhibition of protein synthesis in these cells by anisomycin or cycloheximide leads to marked increases in hexose transport without a change in the levels of cell surface glucose transporter proteins (Clancy, B. M., Harrison, S. A., Buxton, J. M., and Czech, M. P. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 10122-10130). In the present work the exofacial hexose binding sites on GLUT1 and GLUT4 in anisomycin-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were labeled with the cell-impermeant photoaffinity reagent [2-3H]2-N-[4-(1-azitrifluoroethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-bis- (D-mannos-4-yloxy)-2-propylamine [( 2-3H] ATB-BMPA) to determine which isoform is activated by protein synthetic blockade. As expected, a 15-fold increase in 2-deoxyglucose uptake in response to insulin was associated with 1.7- and 2.6-fold elevations in plasma membrane GLUT1 and GLUT4 protein levels, respectively. Anisomycin treatment of cultured adipocytes for 5 h produced an 8-fold stimulation of hexose transport but no increase in the content of glucose transporters in the plasma membrane fraction as measured by protein immunoblot analysis. Cell surface GLUT1 levels were also shown to be unaffected on 3T3-L1 adipocytes in response to anisomycin using an independent method, the binding of an antiexofacial GLUT1 antibody to intact cells. In contrast, anisomycin fully mimicked the action of insulin to stimulate (about 4-fold) the radiolabeling of GLUT1 transporters specifically immunoprecipitated from intact 3T3-L1 adipocytes irradiated after incubation with [2-3H] ATB-BMPA. Photolabeling of GLUT4 under these conditions was also significantly enhanced (1.8-fold) by anisomycin treatment, but this effect was only 15% of that caused by insulin. These results suggest that: 1) the photoaffinity reagent [2-3H]ATB-BMPA labels those cell surface glucose transporters present in a catalytically active state rather than total cell surface transporters as assumed previously and 2) inhibition of protein synthesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes stimulates sugar transport primarily by enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity of cell surface GLUT1, and to a lesser extent, GLUT4 proteins.  相似文献

The benzophenone derivative of 1,3-bis(D-mannos-4-yloxy)-2-propylamine (BB-BMPA) has been tested as an exofacial photoaffinity label for the sugar transport systems of human erythrocytes and rat adipocytes. The half-maximal inhibition constants for the reagent are 971 microM in erythrocytes and 536 microM in basal and 254 microM in insulin-treated adipocytes. The photolabelling of erythrocyte membranes is very specific for the 50 kDa transporter peptide and is completely displaced by D-glucose. The exofacial photoaffinity labelling of adipocytes also shows labelling of a 50 kDa transporter peptide, which is displaced by cytochalasin B, but extensive nonspecific labelling of a 75 kDa plasma membrane peptide occurs. The transporter is labelled in insulin-treated cells but not in basal cells which indicates that this in situ labelling technique selectively reveals only those transporters that visit and are active in the plasma membrane during the labelling period. This also indicates that in basal cells transporters do not turn over rapidly. Subcellular redistribution of transporters after the labelling period has been studied. Following incubation and washing at 37 degrees C in the presence of insulin, 30% of the transporters photolabelled at the plasma membrane are internalised and are found in the light microsome fraction of the cell. The proportion of transporter that is observed to be internalised is much greater than can be accounted for by a contamination of the light microsome fraction by plasma membrane. The labelled 50 kDa transporter peptide in the light microsomes is enriched when compared with the carry-over of the 75 kDa nonspecifically labelled plasma membrane peptide. Thus we have obtained direct evidence for transporter translocation.  相似文献

Physical training increases maximally insulin-stimulated glucose assimilation and 3-O-methylglucose transport in epididymal fat cells. In the present report, glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B binding in subcellular fractions of epididymal adipocytes was measured to assess changes in number of glucose transporters induced by training. Groups of rats trained by swimming were compared to control groups of the same age, matched with respect to body weight by restricted feeding. It was found that in trained rats the number of glucose transporters in the low density microsome fractions from non-insulin-stimulated fat cells was larger than in untrained rats. In both groups of rats, insulin stimulation of adipocytes decreased the number of glucose transporters in low-density microsomes by about 60% and increased the number of glucose transporters in the plasma membrane fractions. The number of glucose transporters in the plasma membrane fractions from maximally insulin-stimulated fat cells was larger in trained rats than in control rats. [U-14C]Glucose incorporation into lipids varied in proportion to plasma membrane cytochalasin B binding per cell under all conditions tested. The results explain the enhancing effect of training on insulin responsiveness transport of hexose in fat cells.  相似文献

The protein photolabelled by [3H]cytochalasin B and band 4.5, which contains the human erythrocyte hexose transporter, were compared by electrophoretically monitoring the effect of digestion with endoglycosidase F and trypsin. Band 4.5 was found to consist of two minor components, Mr 58,000 and 52,000, and one main component, Mr 60,000-50,000. Deglycosylation by endoglycosidase F converted both the [3H]-labelled species and the main polypeptide of band 4.5 from a mixture of polypeptides of Mr 50,000-60,000 to a sharp component of Mr 46,000. Tryptic cleavage of the photolabelled protein produced a [3H]-labelled peptide of 19,000 daltons, which corresponded to an analogous tryptic fragment of the main component of band 4.5. Endoglycosidase F treatment of trypsin-treated samples had no effect on the 19,000 dalton fragment or the labelled 19,000 component, indicating that both species lack the carbohydrate moiety of the parent protein. This parallel chemical behaviour indicates that the photolabelled polypeptide is representative of the main constituent of band 4.5. Photolabelling may be used with confidence to quantitate glucose transporters in other cells.  相似文献

Cytochalasin B and nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR), which inhibit membrane transport of glucose and nucleosides, respectively, have served as photoaffinity ligands that become covalently linked at inhibitor binding sites on transporter-associated proteins. Thus, when membranes from erythrocytes of neonatal pigs with site-bound [3H]cytochalasin B or [3H]NBMPR were irradiated with uv light, two labeled membrane polypeptides (peak Mr values: 55,000 and 64,000, respectively) were identified. Treatment of the photolabeled membranes with endoglycosidase F increased the mobility of [3H]cytochalasin B- and [3H]NBMPR-labeled material (peak Mr values: 44,000 and 57,000, respectively) and limited digestion with trypsin yielded different polypeptide fragments (Mr values: 18,000-23,000 and 43,000, respectively). Identification of the photolabeled polypeptides as transporter components was established using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against partially purified preparations of band 4.5 from erythrocytes of adult pigs and humans. MAbs 65D4 and 64C7 (anti-human band 4.5), raised in this study, reacted with [3H]cytochalasin B-labeled material from membranes of human erythrocytes and bound to permeabilized erythrocytes but not to intact cells. MAb 65D4 also bound to erythrocytes of mice and neonatal pigs and to a variety of cultured cells (mouse, human, rat), including AE1 mouse lymphoma cells, which lack an NBMPR-sensitive nucleoside transporter. Also employed was MAb 11C4 (anti-pig band 4.5), which recognizes the NBMPR-binding protein of erythrocyte membranes from adult pigs. When membrane proteins from neonatal and adult pigs were subjected to electrophoretic analysis and blots were probed with different MAbs, MAb 65D4 (anti-human band 4.5) bound to material that comigrated with [3H]cytochalasin B-labeled polypeptides (band 4.5) from neonatal, but not adult, pig erythrocytes, whereas MAb 11C4 (anti-pig band 4.5) bound to material that comigrated with [3H]NBMPR-labeled band 4.5 polypeptides of erythrocytes from both neonatal and adult pigs. These results, which indicate structural differences in the cytochalasin B- and NBMPR-binding proteins of pig erythrocytes, establish the presence of both proteins in erythrocytes of neonatal pigs and suggest that only the NBMPR-binding protein is present in erythrocytes of adult pigs.  相似文献

Plasma membranes and light microsomes were isolated from fused L6 muscle cells. Pre-treatment of cells with insulin did not affect marker enzyme or protein distribution in isolated membranes. The number of glucose transporters in the isolated membranes was calculated from the D-glucose-protectable binding of [3H]cytochalasin B. Glucose transporter number was higher in plasma membranes and lower in intracellular membranes derived from insulin-treated cells than in the corresponding fractions from untreated cells. The net increase in glucose transporters in plasma membranes was identical to the net decrease in glucose transporters in light microsomes (2 pmol/1.23 x 10(8) cells). The fold increase in glucose transporter number/mg protein in plasma membranes (2-fold) was similar to the fold increase in glucose transport caused by insulin. This suggests that recruitment of glucose transporters from intracellular membranes to the plasma membrane is the major mechanism of stimulation of hexose transport in L6 muscle cells. This is the first report of isolation of the two insulin-sensitive membrane elements from a cell line, and the results indicate that, in contrast to rat adipocytes, there is not change in the intrinsic activity of the transporters in response to insulin.  相似文献

Glucose transport systems in cultured neuronal cells and astrocytes of rats were characterized by measuring the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-[3H]glucose ([3H]2-DG) into the cells. Various sugars inhibited 2-DG uptake by neuronal cells and astrocytes similarly, a finding indicating that the substrate specificities of the transporters in the two types of cells were almost the same. However, the Km values for 2-DG of neuronal cells and astrocytes were 1.7 and 0.36 mM, respectively. The uptake of 2-DG was strongly inhibited by cytochalasin B. Nucleosides, such as adenosine, inosine, and uridine, inhibited 2-DG uptake competitively in both neuronal cells and astrocytes. The uptake by both types of cells were also inhibited by forskolin, but not by cyclic AMP, an observation suggesting that forskolin bound directly to the transporters to cause inhibition. Its inhibition was competitive in astrocytes and noncompetitive in neuronal cells. Astrocytes contained a glucose transporter with a subunit molecular weight of 45K, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after photoaffinity labeling using [3H]cytochalasin B as a probe.  相似文献

Cytochalasin B is a potent inhibitor of mammalian passive glucose transporters. The recent demonstration of sequence similarities between these proteins and several bacterial proton-linked sugar transporters suggested that cytochalasin B might be a useful tool for investigation of the galactose/H+ symport protein (GalP) of Escherichia coli. Equilibrium binding studies using membranes from a GalP-constitutive (GalPc) strain of E. coli revealed a single set of high affinity binding sites for cytochalasin B with a Kd of 0.8-2.2 microM. Binding was inhibited by D-glucose, but not by L-glucose. UV irradiation of the membranes in the presence of [4-3H]cytochalasin B photolabeled principally a protein of apparent Mr 38,000, corresponding to the GalP protein. Labeling was inhibited by greater than 80% in the presence of 500 mM D-glucose or D-galactose, the major substrates of the GalP system. The extent of inhibition of photolabeling by different sugars and sugar analogues showed that the substrate specificity of GalP closely resembles that of the mammalian passive glucose transporters. Structural similarity to the latter was revealed by tryptic digestion of [4-3H]cytochalasin B-photolabeled GalP, which yielded a radiolabeled fragment of apparent Mr 17,000-19,000, similar to that previously reported for the human erythrocyte glucose transporter.  相似文献

Cytochalasin B was found to bind to at least two distinct sites in human placental microvillous plasma membrane vesicles, one of which is likely to be intimately associated with the glucose transporter. These sites were distinguished by the specificity of agents able to displace bound cytochalasin B. [3H]Cytochalasin B was displaceable at one site by D-glucose but not by dihydrocytochalasin B; it was displaceable from the other by dihydrocytochalasin B but not by D-glucose. Some binding which could not be displaced by D-glucose + cytochalasin B binding site. Cytochalasin B can be photoincorporated into specific binding proteins by ultraviolet irradiation. D-Glucose specifically prevented such photoaffinity labeling of a microvillous protein component(s) of Mr = 60,000 +/- 2000 as determined by urea-sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoresis. This D-glucose-sensitive cytochalasin B binding site of the placenta is likely to be either the glucose transporter or be intimately associated with it. The molecular weight of the placental glucose transporter agrees well with the most widely accepted molecular weight for the human erythrocyte glucose transporter. Dihydrocytochalasin B prevented the photoincorporation of [3H]cytochalasin B into a polypeptide(s) of Mr = 53,000 +/- 2000. This component is probably not associated with placental glucose transport. This report presents the first identification of a sodium-independent glucose transporter from a normal human tissue other than the erythrocyte. It also presents the first molecular weight identification of a human glucose-insensitive high-affinity cytochalasin B binding protein.  相似文献

1. Isolated chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla were used to study glucose transport in a homogeneous neural tissue. 2. The affinity of glucose transporters was 1.20 +/- 0.52 mM by the infinite-cis technique and 1.02 +/- 0.09 mM by the direct transport experiments. 3. The affinity for 2-deoxyglucose of these transporters was 2.3 mM. 4. The glucose transporters, quantified by [3H]cytochalasin B binding, were 419,532 +/- 120,740 receptors/cell, which corresponds to about 7.2 +/- 2 pmol/mg of protein, with KD = 0.1 microM. 5. High-affinity insulin receptors with KD = 3.95 nM were present at a density of 68,400 +/- 7500 per cell. 6. Insulin and secretagogues increased glucose transport, raising the transporter number at the plasma membrane without changes in the affinity.  相似文献

Antisera to the human erythrocyte Glc transporter immunoblotted a polypeptide of Mr 55,000 in membranes from human hepatocarcinoma cells, Hep G2, human fibroblasts, W138, and murine preadipocytes, 3T3-L1. This antisera immunoprecipitated the erythrocyte protein which had been photoaffinity labeled with [3H]cytochalasin B, immunoblotted its tryptic fragment of Mr 19,000, and immunoblotted the deglycosylated protein as a doublet of Mr 46,000 and 38,000. This doublet reduced to a single polypeptide of Mr 38,000 after boiling. When Hep G2, W138, and 3T3-L1 cells were metabolically labeled with L-[35S]methionine for 6 h, a broad band of Mr 55,000 was immunoprecipitated from membrane extracts. In pulse-chase experiments, two bands of Mr 49,000 and 42,000 were identified as putative precursors of the mature transporter. The t1/2 for mature Glc transporter was 90 min for Hep G2 cells that had been starved for methionine (2 h) and pulsed for 15 min with L-[35S]methionine. Polypeptides of Mr 46,000 and 38,000 were immunoprecipitated from Hep G2 cells that had been metabolically labeled with L-[35S]methionine in the presence of tunicamycin. This doublet reduced to the single polypeptide of Mr 38,000 after boiling. In the absence of tunicamycin, but not in its presence, mature polypeptide of Mr 55,000 was immunoprecipitated from Hep G2 cells metabolically labeled with D-[3H]GlcN. A polypeptide of Mr 38,000 was observed in boiled immune complexes from the in vitro translation products of Hep G2, W138, and 3T3-L1 cell RNA. Dog pancreatic microsomes cotranslationally, but not posttranslationally, converted this to a polypeptide of Mr 35,000. A model for Glc transporter biogenesis is proposed in which the primary translation product of Mr 38,000 is converted by glycosylations to a polypeptide of Mr 42,000. The latter is then processed via heterogeneous complex N-linked glycosylations to form the mature Glc transporter, Mr 55,000.  相似文献

The glucose transport across the bovine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was studied in a modified Ussing chamber. Unidirectional fluxes were recorded with radioactive tracers L-[14C]-glucose (LG) and 3-O-methyl-D-[3H]-glucose (MDG). There was no significant difference between the unidirectional MDG fluxes (retina to choroid, and choroid to retina directions) with or without ouabain. The effects of two glucose transporter inhibitors, phloretin and cytochalasin B, on the glucose fluxes from choroid to retina cells were also investigated. The MDG flux was found to be inhibited by 45.5% by phloretin (10(-4) M) and 87.4% by cytochalasin B (10(-4) M). These inhibitory characteristics resembled the facilitated diffusion mode of glucose transport. The glucose transporter protein in the plasma membrane of RPE was located by means of photolabeling [3H]-cytochalasin B. The labeled plasma membrane enriched fraction was analysed by SDS-PAGE. The glucose transporter of bovine RPE was found to have a molecular weight range of 46-53 kDa. The molecular weight range of this transporter protein agreed with those of facilitated glucose transporters in other tissues indicating a molecular similarity between them. The results indicated that the glucose transport across the RPE is via passive facilitated diffusion.  相似文献

We have studied the biochemical mechanism of insulin action on glucose transport in the rat adipocyte. Plasma membranes and low-density microsomes were prepared by differential ultracentrifugation of basal and insulin-stimulated cells. The photochemical cross-linking agent hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate was used to covalently bind [3H]cytochalasin B to the glucose transporter which migrated as a 45-50-kDa protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Isoelectric focusing of the eluted 40-55-kDa proteins revealed two peaks of D-glucose-inhibitable [3H]cytochalasin B radioactivity focusing at pH 6.4 and 5.6 when low-density microsomes were used as the starting material. In contrast, only one D-glucose inhibitable peak, focusing at pH 5.6, was found in plasma membranes. Pretreatment of the cells with insulin led to a marked redistribution of the pH 5.6 form of the glucose transporter from low-density microsomes to plasma membranes with no effect on the pH 6.4 form of the glucose transporter. Following isolation from the isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, both glucose transporter isoforms were shown to cross-react with an antiserum raised against the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter. Following incubation of [3H]cytochalasin B-labeled low-density microsomal and plasma membranes with neuraminidase, the pH 5.6 transporter isoform was shifted on isoelectric focusing to a more basic pH, while the pH 6.4 isoform was not affected. These data demonstrate that: there is a heterogeneity of glucose transporter species in the intracellular pool while the plasma membrane transporters are more uniform in structure. The pH 5.6 glucose transporter isoform is translocated by insulin from the low-density microsomes to the plasma membrane but the pH 6.4 isoform is not sensitive to insulin. Differential sensitivity of the glucose transporter isoforms to neuraminidase suggests that the heterogeneity is at least partially due to differences in glycosylation state.  相似文献

The human erythrocyte membrane carriers for hexoses and nucleosides have several structural features in common. In order to assess functional similarities, the effects of adenosine derivatives on hexose transport and cytochalasin B binding sites were studied. Adenosine inhibited zero-trans uptake of 3-O-methylglucose half-maximally at 5 mM, while more hydrophobic adenosine deaminase-resistant derivatives were ten- to 20-fold more potent transport inhibitors. However, degradation of adenosine accounted for very little of this difference in potency. Hexose transport was rapidly inhibited by N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine at 5 degrees C in a dose-dependent fashion (EC50 = 240 microM), to lower the transport Vmax without affecting the Km. A direct interaction with the carrier protein was further indicated by the finding that N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine competitively inhibited [3H]cytochalasin B binding to erythrocytes (Ki = 143 microM) and decreased [3H]cytochalasin B photolabeling of hexose carriers in erythrocyte ghosts. The cross-reactivity of adenosine and several of its derivatives with the hexose carrier suggests further homologies between the carriers for hexoses and nucleosides, possibly related to their ability to transport hydrophilic molecules through the lipid core of the plasma membrane.  相似文献

The transmembrane topology of the nucleoside transporter of human erythrocytes, which had been covalently photolabelled with [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine, was investigated by monitoring the effect of proteinases applied to intact erythrocytes and unsealed membrane preparations. Treatment of unsealed membranes with low concentrations of trypsin and chymotrypsin at 1 degree C cleaved the nucleoside transporter, a band 4.5 polypeptide, apparent Mr 66 000-45 000, to yield two radioactive fragments with apparent Mr 38 000 and 23 000. The fragment of Mr 38 000, in contrast to the Mr 23 000 fragment, migrated as a broad peak (apparent Mr 45 000-31 000) suggesting that carbohydrate was probably attached to this fragment. Similar treatment of intact cells under iso-osmotic saline conditions at 1 degree C had no effect on the apparent Mr of the [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine-labelled band 4.5, suggesting that at least one of the trypsin cleavage sites resulting in the apparent Mr fragments of 38 000 and 23 000 is located at the cytoplasmic surface. However, at low ionic strengths the extracellular region of the nucleoside transporter is susceptible to trypsin proteolysis, indicating that the transporter is a transmembrane protein. In contrast, the extracellular region of the [3H]cytochalasin B-labelled glucose carrier, another band 4.5 polypeptide, was resistant to trypsin digestion. Proteolysis of the glucose transporter at the cytoplasmic surface generated a radiolabelled fragment of Mr 19 000 which was distinct from the Mr 23 000 fragment radiolabelled with [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine. The affinity for the reversible binding of [3H]cytochalasin B and [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine to the glucose and nucleoside transporters, respectively, was lowered 2-3-fold following trypsin treatment of unsealed membranes, but the maximum number of inhibitor binding sites was unaffected despite the cleavage of band 4.5 to lower-Mr fragments.  相似文献

The glucose transporter of rat brain was examined by the use of cytochalasin B, a potent inhibitor. The dissociation constants (Kd) of D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B binding in various membrane fractions were about 100 nM. Solubilization and partial purification of glucose transporter were carried out by procedures of DE 52 column chromatography, Bio Gel HT column chromatography and Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography from postnuclear membrane fraction. Purified transporter, reconstituted in lipid vesicles, showed D-glucose-specific transport activity with a Michaelis constant (Km) of 7 mM. The molecular weight was estimated to be about 200K by gel filtration in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. The subunit molecular weight was estimated to be 45K by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after photoaffinity labeling using [3H]cytochalasin B as a covalent probe, indicating that rat brain glucose transporter is a tetramer.  相似文献

The technique of photoaffinity labelling with [4-3H]cytochalasin B was applied to osmotically lysed cerebral microvessels isolated from sheep brain. Cytochalasin B was photo-incorporated into a membrane protein of average apparent Mr 53,000. Incorporation of cytochalasin B was inhibited by D-glucose, but not by L-glucose, which strongly suggests that the labelled protein is, or is a component of, the glucose transporter of the blood-brain barrier. Investigation of noncovalent [4-3H]cytochalasin B binding to cerebral microvessels by equilibrium dialysis indicated the presence of a single set of high-affinity binding sites with an association constant of 9.8 +/- 1.7 (SE) microM-1. This noncovalent binding was inhibited by D-glucose, with a Ki of 23 mM. These results provide preliminary identification of the glucose transporter of the ovine blood-brain barrier, and reveal both structural and functional similarities to the glucose transport protein of the human erythrocyte.  相似文献

Treatment of the purified, reconstituted, human erythrocyte glucose transporter with trypsin lowered its affinity for cytochalasin B more than 2-fold, and produced two large, membrane-bound fragments. The smaller fragment (apparent Mr 18000) ran as a sharp band on sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. When the transporter was photoaffinity labelled with [4-3H]cytochalasin B before tryptic digestion, this fragment became radiolabelled and so probably comprises a part of the cytochalasin B binding site, which is known to lie on the cytoplasmic face of the erythrocyte membrane. In contrast, the larger fragment was not radiolabelled, and ran as a diffuse band on electrophoresis (apparent Mr 23000-42000). It could be converted to a sharper band (apparent Mr 23000) by treatment with endo-beta-galactosidase from Bacteroides fragilis and so probably contains one or more sites at which an oligosaccharide of the poly(N-acetyl-lactosamine) type is attached. Since the transporter bears oligosaccharides only on its extracellular domain, whereas trypsin is known to cleave the protein only at the cytoplasmic surface, this fragment must span the membrane. Cleavage of the intact, endo-beta-galactosidase-treated, photoaffinity-labelled protein at its cysteine residues with 2-nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoic acid yielded a prominent, unlabelled fragment of apparent Mr 38000 and several smaller fragments which stained less intensely on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Radioactivity was found predominantly in a fragment of apparent Mr 15500. Therefore it appears that the site(s) labelled by [4-3H]cytochalasin B lies within the N-terminal or C-terminal third of the intact polypeptide chain.  相似文献

A monoclonal antibody to the glucose transporter has been prepared with band 4.5 (Mr 45,000-65,000) from human erythrocyte ghosts as antigen. This antibody, designated 7F7.5, is of the IgG2b type. The antibody bound exclusively to proteins in the band 4.5 region of immunoblots of human erythrocyte ghosts separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Immobilized 7F7.5 antibody removed glucose transport activity from solubilized alkaline-treated ghosts. The material that was eluted from the immobilized antibody matrix migrated primarily in the band 4.5 region of electrophoretic gels and bound the antibody in immunoblots. To test the specificity of the antibody, glucose and nucleoside transporters in alkaline-treated human erythrocyte ghosts were affinity labeled with [3H]cytochalasin B and [3H]-S-(nitrobenzyl)thioinosine (NBMPR), respectively. Both of these transporters are band 4.5 proteins and "copurify" by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A filter paper assay was developed to assess the presence of the labeled transporters. Immobilized 7F7.5 antibody bound 99% of the labeled glucose transporter. In contrast, only 3% of the specifically labeled nucleoside transporter bound to the immobilized antibody. Furthermore, the antibody did not remove nucleoside transport or NBMPR binding activities from detergent solution. The antibody recognized two tryptic fragments, Mr 23,000 and 18,000, which contain the cytochalasin B binding site of the glucose transporter. By immunoblot, the monoclonal antibody recognized the glucose transporter in cultured human IM9 lymphocytes, synovial cells, and HBL 100 mammary cells but not cells of murine or rat origin. These results indicate that the glucose and nucleoside transporters are distinct proteins which can be distinguished by monoclonal antibody 7F7.5. The method developed to quantitate covalently labeled glucose and nucleoside transporters should have broad applicability as a rapid and easy method for determining the recovery of affinity-labeled membrane proteins in detergent solution during purification. Because of the location of the epitope, the antibody itself should prove to be a valuable tool in establishing the molecular basis for the function and regulation of the glucose transporter.  相似文献

[3H]Cytochalasin B binding and its competitive inhibition by D-glucose have been used to identify, the glucose transporter in plasma and microsomal membranes prepared from intact rat diaphragm. Scatchard plot analysis of [3H]cytochalasin B binding yields a binding site with a dissociation constant of roughly 110 nM. Since the inhibition constant of cytochalasin B for D-glucose uptake by diaphragm plasma membranes is similar to this value, this site is identified as the glucose transporter. Plasma membranes prepared from diaphragms bind approx. 17 pmol of cytochalasin B/mg of membrane protein to the D-glucose-inhibitable site. If 280 nM (40000 microunits/ml) insulin is present during incubation, cytochalasin B binding is increased roughly 2-fold without alteration in the dissociation constant of this site. In addition, membranes in the microsomal fraction contain 21 pmol of D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B binding sites/mg of membrane protein. In the presence of insulin during incubation the number of these sites in the microsomal fraction is decreased to 9 pmol/mg of membrane protein. These results suggest that rat diaphragm contain glucose transporters with characteristics identical to those observed for the rat adipose cell glucose transporter. In addition, insulin stimulates glucose transport in rat diaphragm through a translocation of functionally identical glucose transporters from an intracellular membrane pool to the plasma membrane without an alteration in the characteristics of these sites.  相似文献
