The effects of guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) on the kinetics of activation of rat liver membrane adenylate cyclase by guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) were examined. GDP[S] caused immediate inhibition of the activation by p[NH]ppG at all time points tested. Substantial inhibition by GDP[S] was observed even after the time required for the enzyme to reach its steady-state activity, but the extent of inhibition became progressively smaller as the preincubation time with p[NH]ppG increased. The rate at which adenylate cyclase became quasi-irreversibly activated was a strictly first-order process. In the presence of glucagon, the formation of the irreversibly activated state was much slower. A combination of GDP[S] and glucagon could partially reverse the quasi-irreversible activation by p[NH]ppG. Glucagon decreased the lag time required for p[NH]ppG to activate adenylate cyclase and increased the extent of activation by p[NH]ppG. This stimulatory effect of the hormone on top of guanine nucleotide decreased on preincubation with p[NH]ppG, but not with GTP. Our results suggest that the activation of adenylate cyclase by non-hydrolysable GTP analogues is a two-stage process: the formation of a reversibly activated form (G rev) is a rapid process, followed by a much slower formation of the quasi-irreversibly activated form (G irr). Glucagon can stimulate G rev but not G irr, and can partially facilitate the formation of the G rev from the G irr state. 相似文献

Recently it was proposed [O'Brien, E. T., & Erickson, H. P. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1413-1422] that tubulin polymerization supported by guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imidotriphosphate) [p(NH)ppG], guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylenetriphosphate) [p(CH2)ppG], and ATP might be due to residual GTP in reaction mixtures and that these nucleotides would probably support only one cycle of assembly. Since we had observed polymerization with these three compounds, we decided to study these reactions in greater detail in two systems. The first contained purified tubulin and a high concentration of glycerol, the second tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). In both systems, reactions supported by nucleotides other than GTP were most vigorous at lower pH values. In the glycerol system, repeated cycles of polymerization were observed with ATP and p(CH2)ppG, but not with p(NH)ppG. With p(NH)ppG, a single cycle of polymerization was observed, and this was caused by contaminating GTP. In the MAPs system, repeated cycles of polymerization were observed with both nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues, even without contaminating GTP, but ATP was not active at all in this system. Binding to tubulin of p(NH)ppG, p(CH2)ppG, and, to a lesser extent, ATP was demonstrated indirectly, since high concentrations of the three nucleotides displaced radiolabeled GDP originally bound in the exchangeable site, with p(NH)ppG the most active of the three compounds in this displacement assay. The failure of GTP-free p(NH)ppG to support tubulin polymerization in our glycerol system even though it displaced GDP from the exchangeable site was further investigated by examining the effects of p(NH)ppG on polymerization and polymer-bound nucleotide with low concentrations of GTP. The two nucleotides appeared to act synergistically in supporting polymerization, so that a reaction occurred with a subthreshold GTP concentration if p(NH)ppG was also in the reaction mixture. Analysis of radiolabeled exchangeable-site nucleotide in polymers formed in reaction mixtures containing both GTP and p(NH)ppG demonstrated that p(NH)ppG which entered polymer did so primarily at the expense of GDP originally bound in the exchangeable site rather than at the expense of GTP. It appears that in the glycerol reaction condition, tubulin-p(NH)ppG cannot initiate tubulin polymerization but that it can participate in polymer elongation. ATP and p(CH2)ppG also entered the exchangeable site during polymerization without GTP in glycerol, as demonstrated by displacement of radiolabeled GDP from polymer when these alternate nucleotides were used.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

A guanine nucleotide regulatory protein may be involved in vasopressin-receptor-mediated polyphosphoinositide breakdown in rat liver. Therefore we examined the effects of the non-hydrolysable guanine nucleotide guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) on [3H]vasopressin ([3H]AVP) binding to hepatic plasma membranes and detergent extracts. [3H]AVP bound to a single set of high-affinity binding sites in membranes. Addition of p[NH]ppG decreased the affinity of receptor binding without altering the maximal binding capacity. The rate of dissociation of [3H]AVP from membrane-bound receptors was also enhanced by p[NH]ppG. Solubilization of [3H]AVP-prelabelled membranes with dodecyl beta-D-maltoside resulted in a [3H]AVP-receptor complex that was unstable in solution. Incubation of these extracts for 5 min at 30 degrees C resulted in a 40% loss of bound [3H]AVP, whereas in the presence of p[NH]ppG there was a 54% loss. However, when membranes were prelabelled with [3H]AVP and p[NH]ppG and then solubilized, the resulting hormone-receptor complex was still temperature-labile but insensitive to the further addition of p[NH]ppG. The molecular size of soluble vasopressin receptors was estimated by gel filtration. The [3H]AVP-receptor complex was eluted as a single peak with an apparent molecular size of 258 kDa. However, no peak was detected when solubilized extract was made from membranes prelabelled with [3H]AVP and p[NH]ppG, suggesting that this receptor complex had dissociated during chromatography. It is possible therefore that the high-Mr complex contains the hormone, its receptor and a guanine nucleotide binding protein. 相似文献

In the presence of guanyl nucleotides and rhodopsin-containing retinal rod outer segment membranes, transducin stimulates the light-sensitive cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 5.5-7 times. The activation constant (Ka) for GTP and Gpp(NH)p is 0.25 microM, that for GDP and GDP beta S is 14 and 110 microM, respectively. GDP purified from other nucleotide contaminations at concentrations up to 1 mM does not stimulate phosphodiesterase but binds to transducin and inhibits the Gpp(NH)p-dependent activation of phosphodiesterase. The mode of transducin interaction with bleached rhodopsin also depends on the nature of the bound guanyl nucleotide: in the presence of GDP rhodopsin-containing membranes bind 70-100% of transducin, whereas in the presence of Gpp(NH)p the membranes bind only 13% of the protein. The experimental results suggest that GDP and GTP convert transducin into two different functional states, i.e., the transducin X GTP complex binds to phosphodiesterase causing its stimulation, while the transducin X GDP complex is predominantly bound to rhodopsin. 相似文献

The occurrence of a guanine nucleotide binding protein activated by squid rhodopsin was established by examination of GTPase activity, guanine nucleotide binding, and cholera toxin catalyzed labeling of squid photoreceptor membranes. Purified squid (Loligo opalescens) photoreceptors exhibited GTPase activity that increased 3-4-fold by illumination. Half-maximal GTPase activity was observed when 2% of the rhodopsin was photoconverted to metarhodopsin. The Km of the light-regulated activity was 1 microM GTP. Binding of the hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogue guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imidotriphosphate) [Gpp(NH)p] was enhanced greater than 10 times by illumination. A protein, Mr 44 000, was identified as a component of the light-activated guanine nucleotide binding protein/GTPase through its specific labeling with [32P]NAD catalyzed by cholera toxin: light increased the extent of 32P incorporation 7-fold. The addition of ATP to the membrane suspension enhanced labeling, while guanine nucleotides inhibited labeling with the relative potency GTP gamma S much greater than GDP greater than GTP greater than Gpp(NH)p. The 44 000-dalton protein was membrane bound irrespective of variations in ionic strength and divalent ion concentration over a wide range. These results suggest that a G protein, which incorporates both GTP binding and hydrolysis functions, is intimately involved in the visual process of invertebrate photoreceptors. 相似文献

1. The activation of rat pancreatic adenylate cyclase by guanosine 5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) and GTP, and by the two gastrointestinal hormones pancreozymin (as C-terminal octapeptide) and secretin was correlated with the binding of [8-3H]guanosine 5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate to rat pancreatic plasma membranes. 2. The low basal adenylate cyclase activity was stimulated 17-fold by p[NH]ppG (after a 2 min lag period), 3,5-fold only by GTP, 21-fold by C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin, and 8-fold by secretin. GTP inhibited competitively the activation of adenylate cyclase by p[NH]ppG with a Ki,app almost identical with the Ka,app (0.3 micron). p[NH]ppG and GTP enhanced the stimulation by secretin more markedly than that by the C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin, leading to the same maximal activity. Both hormones suppressed the lag period of activation by p[NH]ppG. 3. The binding of [8-3H]p[NH]ppG was dependent on time, temperature and Mg2+ and it was also a saturable and reversible process. Scatchard plots with a concavity upward were linearized after co-addition of ATP, Mg2+ and an ATP-regenerating system that abolished low-affinity sites for p[NH]ppG without saturating higher affinity sites, GTP, ITP and UTP inhibited [8-3H]p[NH]ppG binding to the high-affinity sites in concentration ranges identical with those found for adenylate cyclase activation. Considerable binding of [8-3H]p[NH]ppG was still evident at 20 degrees C, but enzyme activation was not observed any more, except in the presence of hormones. 相似文献

1. Preincubation of luteal membranes with human choriogonadotropin results in the formation of an activated state of adenylate cyclase which is not reversed by washing and which is limited only by the absence of guanine nucleotides, whereas preincubation with GTP yields only a partially activated adenylate cyclase which requires the presence of both GTP and human choriogonadotropin during assay to demonstrate maximal activity. 2. Preincubation of luteal membranes with GTP and human choriogonadotropin does not lead to a synergistic increase in wash-resistant activity. 3. Luteal membranes that had been preincubated with GTP and hormone exhibited a decreasing rate of cyclic AMP synthesis during the adenylate cyclase assay incubation; addition of GTP during the assay incubation reversed the decrease. 4. Membranes that had been preincubated in the absence of guanine nucleotide and hormone showed a `burst' phase of cyclic AMP synthesis when GTP was present in the assay incubation and a `lag' phase with p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5′-[β,γ-imido]triphosphate) present in the assay. The presence of human choriogonadotropin with either nucleotide in the assay incubation eliminated the curvatures in plots observed with guanine nucleotides alone. 5. Luteal adenylate cyclase was persistently activated by preincubation with p[NH]ppG alone or in combination with human choriogonadotropin; the activation caused by p[NH]ppG alone was still increasing after 70min of preincubation, whereas that caused by p[NH]ppG in the presence of hormone was essentially complete within 10min of preincubation. 6. Luteal adenylate cyclase that had been partially preactivated by preincubation with p[NH]ppG was slightly increased in activity by the inclusion of further p[NH]ppG in the adenylate cyclase assay incubation, but more so with p[NH]ppG and hormone. Human choriogonadotropin alone caused no further increase in the activity of the partially stimulated preparation unless p[NH]ppG was also added to the assay incubation. 7. GTP decreased the activity of adenylate cyclase in membranes that had been partially preactivated in the presence of p[NH]ppG; the decrease in activity was greater when GTP and hormone were present simultaneously in the assay. 8. The results indicate that stable activation states of adenylate cyclase can be induced by preincubation of luteal membranes in vitro with human choriogonadotropin or p[NH]ppG, and that in the presence of p[NH]ppG the hormone may accelerate events subsequent to guanine nucleotide binding. Stable activation of luteal adenylate cyclase by prior exposure to GTP is not achieved. The involvement of GTPase activity and of hormone-promoted guanine nucleotide exchange in the modulation of luteal adenylate cyclase activity is discussed. 相似文献

In the presence of 1 microM atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and low (0.1 mM) Mg2+ concentrations, the initial rate of binding of [3H]guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate [( 3H]p[NH]ppG) to rat lung plasma membranes was increased twofold to threefold. ANF-dependent stimulation of the initial rate of [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was reduced at high (5 mM) Mg2+ concentrations. Preincubation of membranes with p[NH]ppG (5 min at 37 degrees C) eliminated the ANF-dependent effect on [3H]p[NH]ppG binding whereas ANF-dependent [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was unaffected by similar pretreatment with guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[beta S]). An increase in ANF concentration from 10 pM to 1 microM caused a 40% decrease in forskolin-stimulated or isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities (IC50 5 nM) in rat lung plasma membranes. GTP (100 microM) was obligatory for the ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase, which could be completely overcome by the presence of 100 microM GDP[beta S] or the addition of 10 mM Mn2+. Reduction of Na2+ concentration from 120 mM to 20 mM had the same effect. Pertussis toxin eliminated ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of membrane-bound Ni protein (41-kDa alpha subunit of the inhibitory guanyl-nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase). The data support the notion that one of the ANF receptors in rat lung plasma membranes is negatively coupled to a hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex via the GTP-binding Ni protein. 相似文献

These studies examined the structural specificity for guanine nucleotide-facilitated hormonal activation and guanine nucleotide stabilization of cardiac adenylate cyclase. 1. The phosphonate analogues of GTP, p[CH(2)]ppG (guanosine 5'-[betagamma-methylene]-triphosphate) and pp[CH(2)]pG (guanosine 5'-[alphabeta-methylene]triphosphate), were the most effective activators of adenylate cyclase. Other nucleotides producing significant activation (P<0.01) were, in decreasing order of activation: ITP, GDP, GMP, GTP, XTP, CTP, p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate), dGTP and 2'-O-methyl-GTP. Guanosine, cyclic GMP, UTP and ppppG (guanosine tetraphosphate) had no effect, and 7-methyl-GTP caused a decrease in the activity. 2. Preincubation of membranes at 37 degrees C for 15min before assay at 24 degrees C produced an 80% decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, and preincubation with p[CH(2)]ppG and pp[CH(2)]pG protected and resulted in a net increase in activity. Other nucleotides that completely or partially preserved activity in decreasing order of effectiveness were p[NH]ppG, GDP, GTP, dGTP, ITP, ppppG, 2'-O-methyl-GTP, GMP, CTP and XTP. Several compounds had no effect, including guanosine, cyclic GMP and UTP, whereas preincubation with 7-methyl-GTP produced a further decrease (P<0.05) in activity. 3. The concentration-dependence for activation and stabilization by the naturally occurring guanine nucleotides was examined in the absence of a regenerating system and revealed GMP to have no stabilizing effect and to be less potent than either GDP or GTP in activating adenylate cyclase. 4. A significant correlation (r=0.90) was found between the properties of activation and stabilization for the compounds examined. These findings are consistent with there being a single nucleotide site through which both the activation and stabilization of adenylate cyclase are mediated. 相似文献

Several G-proteins (GTP-binding proteins) were identified by SDS/PAGE in the cytosol (105,000 g supernatant) and membrane fractions of the oestrogen-dependent human mammary-tumour cell line ZR-75-1. These proteins, with molecular masses in the range 18-29 kDa, specifically bind [alpha-32P]GTP, which can be displaced by unlabelled GTP, GDP and their non-hydrolysable analogues guanosine 5'-[delta-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]), but not by GMP, ATP, ADP, AMP and other unrelated nucleotides. The apparent dissociation constant for GTP was approx. 2 x 10(-8)M. Homogenization of ZR-75-1 cells in high-salt buffer (1 M-KCl), and successive washing of the membrane fraction, suggested that, among the major G-proteins found, the 18 kDa protein is predominantly soluble, whereas the 27-29 kDa complex is primarily bound to the membrane fraction under the experimental conditions employed. Possible translocation of these G-proteins between membrane and cytosol was analysed. No redistribution of the 27-29 kDa complex was observed, whereas GTP[S] in the presence of Mg2+ caused apparent translocation of the 18 kDa protein to the membrane fraction. This effect was specific for GTP and stable GTP analogues, whereas GDP, GMP, ATP, ADP, AMP and other unrelated nucleotides were ineffective. GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]-triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) were equally potent (apparent Kd approximately 5 x 10(-6)M), whereas GTP was rather weak. The nucleotide effect is temperature-, time- and concentration-dependent. The translocation process was reversible, slow, and reached its maximum between 30 and 60 min at 37 degrees C. The apparent translocation of this small G-protein from the cytosol to the membrane fraction, and the specific effect of GTP analogues, suggest that this process may have functional significance in mammary-tumour cells. 相似文献

Binding and degradation of GTP and guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate (Gpp(NH)p by plasma membranes from rat liver and fat cells were investigated. Gpp(NH)p is hydrolyzed predominantly by nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases in the membranes, whereas GTP is hydrolyzed primarily by nucleotide phosphohydrolases. These enzymes are not specific for the guanine nucleotides since co-addition of the analogous adenine nucleotides spares their hydrolysis. Both Gpp(NH)p and GTP are taken up by the membranes at sites which, to the extent that high concentrations of the corresponding adenine nucleotides fail to inhibit uptake, appear to be specific for guanine nucleotides. Gpp(NH)p taken up at these sites remains essentially intact irrespective of the degree of hydrolysis of unbound Gpp(NH)p by nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases, indicating that the binding siteis incapable of degrading Gpp(NH)p. GTP and GDP inhibit competitively the binding of Gpp(NH)p; the binding constants for the three nucleotides are similar (0.1 to 0.4 muM) and are in the same range required for their effects on adenylate cyclase activity. Binding of the nucleotides is inhibited by sulfhydryl agents, suggesting that a sulfhydryl group is involved in the binding process. In contrast to binding of Gpp(NH)p, uptake of GTP is accompanied by substantial hydrolysis, primarily to GDP, under incubation conditions (high [ATP] plus ATP regenerating system) in which [GTP] in the medium remains essentially constant. GDP bound to the membranes is progressively hydrolyzed to 5'-GMP. Thus, GTP and Gpp(NH)p, although binding to the same specific sites, are differentially susceptible to hydrolysis at their terminal phosphates when bound to these sites. These findings are discussed in terms of the markedly different potencies of GTP and Gpp(NH)p as activators of adenylate cyclase systems. 相似文献

The efficacy of muscarinic-receptor agonists for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation and Ca2+ mobilization in intact 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells is correlated with their capacity for formation of a GTP-sensitive high-affinity binding complex in membranes from these cells [Evans, Hepler, Masters, Brown & Harden (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 751-757]. These observations prompted the proposal that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein serves to couple muscarinic receptors to the phospholipase C involved in phosphoinositide hydrolysis in 1321N1 cells. Inositol phosphate (InsP) formation was measured in a cell-free preparation from 1321N1 cells to provide direct support for this idea. The formation of InsP3, InsP2 and InsP1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner (K0.5 approximately 5 microM) by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) in washed membranes prepared from myo-[3H]inositol-prelabelled 1321N1 cells. Both GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) stimulated InsP formation by 2-3-fold over control; GTP, GDP and GMP were much less efficacious. Millimolar concentrations of NaF also stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells. In the presence of 10 microM-GTP[S], the muscarinic cholinergic-receptor agonist carbachol stimulated (K0.5 approximately 10 microM) the formation of InsP above that achieved with GTP[S] alone. The effect of carbachol was completely blocked by atropine. The order of potency of nucleotides for stimulation of InsP formation in the presence of 500 microM-carbachol was GTP[S] greater than p[NH]ppG greater than GTP = GDP. Pertussis toxin, at concentrations that fully ADP-ribosylate and functionally inactivate Gi (the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein), had no effect on InsP formation in the presence of GTP[S] or GTP[S] plus carbachol. These data are consistent with the idea that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Gi is involved in receptor-mediated stimulation of InsP formation in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. 相似文献

After fractionation of rabbit bone marrow into dividing (early) and non-dividing (late) erythroid cells, the adenylate cyclase activity of membrane ghosts was assayed in the presence of guanine nucleotides ((GTP and its analogue p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate))), the beta-adrenergic agonist L-isoprenaline (L-isoproterenol) and the antagonist L-propranolol. Both GTP and p[NH]ppG increased the adenylate cyclase activity of early and late erythroblasts, whereas the stimulating effect of the beta-adrenergic drug L-isoprenaline was limited to the immature dividing bone-marrow cells. The effect of L-isoprenaline was completely inhibited by the antagonist L-propranolol, confirming that the response was due to stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors on the plasma membrane. The lack of response of non-dividing erythroblasts to beta-adrenergic stimuli is not due to loss of beta-receptors, since both dividing and non-dividing cells bind the selective ligand [125I]iodohydroxybenzylpindolol with almost equal affinities, the apparent dissociation constants, Kd, being 0.91 X 10(-8)M and 1.0 X 10(-8) M respectively. The number of beta-adrenergic receptors per cell was 2-fold higher in the dividing cells. No significant change in binding affinity for GTP and p[NH]ppG during erythroblast development was observed: the dissociation constants of both guanine nucleotides were almost identical with early and late erythroblast membrane preparations [2-3 (X 10(-7) M]. With dividing cells, however, in the presence of L-isoprenaline the dissociation constants of GTP and p[NH]ppG were lower (6 X 10(-8) M). The dose-response curves for isoprenaline competition in binding of [125I]iodohydroxybenzylpindolol by dividing cells showed that the EC50 (effective concentration for half maximum activity) value for isoprenaline was higher in the presence of p[NH]ppG. With non-dividing cells the EC50 value for isoprenaline was equal in the presence and in the absence of p[NH]ppG and similar to that observed with dividing-cell membranes in the presence of the nucleotide. Thus differentiation of rabbit bone-marrow erythroid cells seems to be accompanied by uncoupling of the beta-adrenergic receptors from the adenylate cyclase catalytic protein as well as by a decrease in the number of receptors per cell, but not by changes in the catecholamine and guanine-nucleotide-binding affinities. 相似文献

1. GTP, but not p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5′-[βγ-imido]triphosphate), abolishes the sensitivity of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase to the lipid-phase separations occurring in the outer half of the bilayer in liver plasma membranes from rat. 2. When either GTP or p[NH]ppG alone stimulate adenylate cyclase, the enzyme senses only those lipid-phase separations occurring in the inner half of the bilayer. 3. Trypsin treatment of intact hepatocytes has no effect on the basal, fluoride-, GTP- or p[NH]ppG-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. However, 125I-labelled-glucagon specific binding decays with a half-life matching that of the decay of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. 4. When GTP or p[NH]ppG are added to assays of glucagon-stimulated activity, the half-life of the trypsin-mediated decay of activity is substantially increased and the decay plots are no longer first-order. 5. Trypsin treatment of purified rat liver plasma membranes abolishes basal and all ligand-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, and 125I-labelled-glucagon specific binding. 6. Benzyl alcohol activates the GTP- and p[NH]ppG-stimulated activities in an identical fashion, whereas these activities are affected differently when glucagon is present in the assays. 7. We suggest that guanine nucleotides alter the mode of coupling between the receptor and catalytic unit. In the presence of glucagon and GTP, a complex of receptor, catalytic unit and nucleotide regulatory protein occurs as a transient intermediate, releasing a free unstable active catalytic unit. In the presence of p[NH]ppG and glucagon, the transient complex yields a relatively stable complex of the catalytic unit associated with a p[NH]ppG-bound nucleotide-regulatory protein. 相似文献

The first stage of amplification in the cyclic GMP cascade in bovine retinal rod is carried out by transducin, a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein consisting of two functional subunits, T alpha (Mr approximately 39,000) and T beta gamma (Mr approximately 36,000 and approximately 10,000). Limited trypsin digestion of the T beta gamma subunit converted the beta polypeptide to two stable fragments (Mr approximately 26,000 and approximately 14,000). The GTPase and Gpp(NH)p binding activities were not significantly affected by the cleavage. Trypsin digestion of the T alpha subunit initially removed a small segment from the polypeptide terminus and resulted in the formation of a single 38,000-Da fragment. When this fragment was recombined with the intact T beta gamma subunit in the presence of membranes containing photolyzed rhodopsin, the reconstituted transducin exhibited greatly reduced GTPase and Gpp(NH)p binding activities. The loss in activities was due to the inability of the cleaved T alpha to bind to the photolyzed rhodopsin. Prolonged digestion converted the 38,000-Da fragment to a transient 32,000-Da fragment and then to two stable 23,000-Da and 12,000-Da fragments. The cleavage of the 32,000-Da fragment, however, can be blocked by bound Gpp(NH)p. The 32,000-Da fragment contains the Gpp(NH)p binding site and retains the ability to activate phosphodiesterase. These results indicate that the guanine nucleotide binding and rhodopsin binding sites are located in topologically distinct regions of the T alpha subunit and proved evidence that a large conformational transition of the molecule occurs upon the conversion of the bound GDP to GTP. 相似文献

Transient States of Adenylate Cyclase in Brain Membranes 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Basal activity of adenylate cyclase from the amygdala of sheep brain and the neostriatum of turkey brain decays in two phases at 37 degrees C. The first phase is rapid (t1/2 = 2.3 +/- 0.3 min) and results in the loss of 60-70% of basal activity. The second phase is slow (t1/2 approximately 100 min) during which time the catalytic units denature irreversibly. The GTP analogue guanosine-5' (beta-gamma imino) triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) prevents the rapid decay by stabilizing the enzyme at its initial level of activity and also reactivates the enzyme to initial levels during or immediately following the early phase, indicating that denaturation of neither the guanylnucleotide units nor the catalytic units causes the rapid decline in basal activity. Activation by p[NH]ppG is rapid at 37 degrees C, but the binding of p[NH]ppG to the guanylnucleotide subunit also occurs at nonactivatory temperatures. This is determined by the protection of catalytic units from thermal or N-ethylmaleimide inactivation after extensive washing. Thus, at 25 degrees C all of the catalytic units can be stabilized by saturating p[NH]ppG concentrations. At 0 degree C, 35% of the catalytic units can be stabilized by saturating p[NH]ppG concentrations within 30 s. The half-saturation constant for the binding of p[NH]ppG at 0 degree C is identical to that derived in an assay at 37 degrees C, or after an incubation of the membranes for 10 min at 45 degrees C, when the process of thermal denaturation is 80% complete (K1/2 approximately 3 +/- 2 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The effect of GTP analogues on catecholamine secretion and [3H]arachidonic acid release from digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells was examined. Several GTP analogues stimulated Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, with the order of efficacy being XTP greater than ITP greater than guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) greater than guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). The stimulatory effect of the GTP analogues appeared to be due to activation of a conventional GTP-binding protein, as it was inhibited by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]). In contrast, Ca2(+)-dependent exocytosis was only partially inhibited by high doses of GDP[S]. GTP did not stimulate Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, but instead was found to inhibit secretion caused by micromolar Ca2+. Arachidonic acid (100 microM) also stimulated Ca2(+)-independent catecholamine secretion. Determination of the effect of GTP analogues on release of free [3H]arachidonic acid into the medium showed that it was stimulated by GTP[S] but inhibited by GTP, p[NH]ppG, ITP and XTP. The inhibition of [3H]arachidonic acid release by XTP was not prevented by GDP[S]. These results demonstrate that activation of a GTP-binding protein by certain GTP analogues can induce Ca2(+)-independent secretion in adrenal chromaffin cells and that the effect of GTP analogues on Ca2(+)-independent secretion can be dissociated from generation of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

1. Adenylate cyclase of the washed 600g sediment of bovine corpus-luteum homogenate is stimulated by p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate), the imido analogue of GTP, and to a lesser extent by GTP itself. Activation by p[NH]ppG is not reversed by extensive washing before assay, but can, however, be reversed by NaF. 2. Both p[NH]ppG and NaF stabilize the enzyme during incubation at 37 degrees C. NaF also causes an irreversible activation, but only of part of the potentially NaF-activatable adenylate cyclase; there are possibly two components of the adenylate cyclase system, which can be distinguished by their response to NaF. 3. Solubilization of the adenylate cyclase activity in the 600g sediment, by using the non-ionic detergent Lubrol-PX, gave variable yields. A relationship between the magnitude of NaF stimulation of the 600g-sediment enzyme and the yield of soluble activity derived from the sediment was recognized. The results suggest that the pre-existing state of the enzyme complex in vivo is reflected by the response in vitro to NaF and may determine the success with which activity can be solubilized. 4. The absolute yields of soluble activity could be increased by p[NH]ppG preactivation of the 600g sediment. During the development of the maximally active state by preincubation with p[NH]ppG the enzyme passes through a stage in which Lubrol solubilization is increased, but the maximally active state is itself less amenable to solubilization. p[NH]ppG activation causes the appearance of NaF-inhibited states, which appear to be preferentially solubilized by Lubrol-PX. 相似文献

Known nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are oligomers of 17-23-kDa subunits and catalyze the reaction N1TP + N2DP --> N1DP + N2TP via formation of a histidine-phosphorylated enzyme intermediate. NDPKs are involved in the activation of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) by catalyzing the formation of GTP from GDP, but the properties of G-protein-associated NDPKs are still incompletely known. The aim of our present study was to characterize NDPK in soluble preparations of the retinal G-protein transducin. The NDPK is operationally referred to as transducin-NDPK. Like known NDPKs, transducin-NDPK utilizes NTPs and phosphorothioate analogs of NTPs as substrates. GDP was a more effective phosphoryl group acceptor at transducin-NDPK than ADP and CDP, and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) was a more effective thiophosphoryl group donor than adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]). In contrast with their action on known NDPKs, mastoparan and mastoparan 7 had no stimulatory effect on transducin-NDPK. Guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) potentiated [3H]GTP[S] formation from [3H]GDP and ATP[S] but not [3H]GTP[S] formation from [3H]GDP and GTP[S]. Depending on the thiophosphoryl group acceptor and donor, [3H]NTP[S] formation was differentially regulated by Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+. [gamma-32P]ATP and [gamma-32P]GTP [32P]phosphorylated, and [35S]ATP[S] [35S]thiophosphorylated, a 36-kDa protein comigrating with transducin-beta. p[NH]ppG potentiated [35S]thiophosphorylation of the 36-kDa protein. 32P-labeling of the 36-kDa protein showed characteristics of histidine phosphorylation. There was no evidence for (thio)phosphorylation of 17-23-kDa proteins. Our data show the following: (a) soluble transducin preparations contain a GDP-prefering and guanine nucleotide-regulated NDPK; (b) transducin-beta may serve as a (thio)phosphorylated NDPK intermediate; (c) transducin-NDPK is distinct from known NDPKs and may consist of multiple kinases or a single kinase with multiple regulatory domains. 相似文献

Light-induced interactions between rhodopsin and the GTP-binding protein. Relation with phosphodiesterase activation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The existence of rapid light-induced changes of light scattering in suspensions of bovine rod outer segment membranes has been described previously [H. Kühn et al. (1981) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 78, 6873-6877]. The signal observed in the presence of GTP has been interpreted as being related to the rhodopsin-catalyzed exchange of GTP for GDP bound to the GTP-binding protein, i.e. to the formation of the activator of the cGMP phosphodiesterase [B.K.K. Fung et al. (1981) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 78, 152-156]. We have tested this interpretation in the present paper by investigating the relation between the light-scattering signal and the activity of the phosphodiesterase using rapid recording techniques for both processes. All the results obtained are consistent with the above hypothesis. The amplitude of the light-scattering signal and the activity of the phosphodiesterase are shown to present the same dependence upon the flash intensity and upon the concentration of GTP or its analog guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma--imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG). The results suggest that the GTP-binding protein possesses one high-affinity p[NH]ppG-binding site (Kd much less than 0.1 microM). At high concentrations of GTP or p[NH]ppG the phosphodiesterase is activated in the dark and the light-scattering signal is correspondingly reduced; both effects are prevented by previous incubation with guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (p[S]pG). 相似文献
