In the Phase II design of Fleming (1982, Biometrics 38, 143-151), the possible outcomes are to reject H1:p less than or equal to p1 or to reject H2: p greater than or equal to p2, where p1 less than p2. The design is constrained by specifying that Pr(reject H1[p1) less than or equal to alpha and Pr(reject H2[p2) less than or equal to beta. This can lead to some ambiguity as to the appropriate practical decision at the end of the trial, as the confidence region for p may include a substantial part of the interval between p1 and p2. We propose a class of designs wherein an allowable outcome is not to reject either H1 or H2. An additional constraint is placed on the design by specifying Pr(reject Hj[pm) less than or equal to gamma (j = 1, 2), where p1 less than pm less than p2. This type of design can provide a more realistic basis for decision making following the trial, although traditional values of alpha and/or beta need to be viewed from a somewhat different perspective in order to maintain a reasonable sample size. Some optimal single-stage and sequential multistage designs are presented. 相似文献

The concentration dependence of regional isoleucine transport across the blood-brain barrier was determined in anesthetized rats with the in situ brain perfusion technique of Takasato et al. [Am. J. Physiol. 247, H484-493 (1984)]. This technique allows, for the first time, accurate measurements of cerebrovascular amino acid transport in the absence of competing amino acids using saline perfusate, and in the presence of physiological concentrations of amino acids using plasma perfusate. Cerebrovascular isoleucine transport from saline perfusate followed Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics where Vmax = 9 - 11 X 10(-4) mumol X s-1 X g-1 and Km = 0.054-0.068 mumol X ml-1 in six brain regions. A component of nonsaturable transport was not detected in any brain region even though perfusate isoleucine concentration was increased to greater than or equal to 150 times the normal plasma concentration. Isoleucine influx during plasma perfusion was only 8% of that predicted from the saline perfusion data due to transport inhibition by competing amino acids in plasma. Competitive inhibition increased the apparent Km for isoleucine transport from plasma by greater than or equal to 24-fold to 1.5-1.7 mumol X ml-1. These data provide accurate new estimates of the kinetic constants that describe amino acid transport across the blood-brain barrier. In addition, they indicate that the cerebrovascular transfer-site affinity (1/Km) for isoleucine is approximately fivefold greater than previously reported with the brain uptake index technique. 相似文献

The full agonist [3H]UK 14304 [5-bromo-6-(2-imidazolin-2-yl-amino)-quinoxaline] was used to characterize alpha 2-adrenoceptors in postmortem human brain. The binding at 25 degrees C was rapid (t1/2, 4.6 min) and reversible (t1/2, 14.1 min), and the KD determined from the kinetic studies was 0.48 nM. In frontal cortex, the rank order of potency of adrenergic drugs competing with [3H]UK 14304 or [3H]clonidine showed the specificity for an alpha 2A-adrenoceptor: UK 14304 approximately equal to yohimbine approximately equal to oxymetazoline approximately equal to clonidine greater than phentolamine approximately equal to (-)-adrenaline greater than idazoxan approximately equal to (-)-noradrenaline greater than phenylephrine greater than (+/-)-adrenaline much greater than corynanthine greater than prazosin much greater than (+/-)-propranolol. GTP induced a threefold decrease in the affinity of [3H]UK 14304, with no alteration in the maximum number of binding sites, suggesting that the radioligand labelled the high-affinity state of the alpha 2-adrenoceptor. In the frontal cortex, analyses of saturation curves indicated the existence of a single population of noninteracting sites for [3H]UK 14304 (KD = 0.35 +/- 0.13 nM; Bmax = 74 +/- 9 fmol/mg of protein). In other brain regions (hypothalamus, hippocampus, cerebellum, brainstem, caudate nucleus, and amygdala) the Bmax ranged from 68 +/- 7 to 28 +/- 4 fmol/mg of protein. No significant changes in the KD values were found in the different regions examined. The binding of [3H]UK 14304 was not affected by age, sex or postmortem delay.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of the orthophosphate (P(i)) analog orthovanadate (Vi) on maximum shortening velocity (Vmax) in activated, chemically skinned, vertebrate skeletal muscle fibers. Using new "temperature-jump" protocols, reproducible data can be obtained from activated fibers at high temperatures, and we have examined the effect of increased [Vi] on Vmax for temperatures in the range 5-30 degrees C. We find that for temperatures < or = 20 degrees C, increasing [Vi] inhibits Vmax; for temperatures > or = 25 degrees C, increasing [Vi] does not inhibit Vmax. Attached cross-bridges bound to Vi are thought to be an analog of the weakly bound actin-myosin.ADP-P(i) state. The data suggest that the weakly bound Vi state can inhibit velocity at low temperature, but not at high temperature, with the transition occurring over a narrow temperature range of < 5 degrees C. This suggests a highly cooperative interaction. The data also define a Q10 for Vmax of 2.1 for chemically skinned rabbit psoas fibers over the temperature range of 5-30 degrees C. 相似文献

To determine whether the accelerated rate of lobe weight gain during severe pulmonary edema is attributed to increased permeability of the microvascular barrier or a loss of tissue forces opposing filtration, the effect of edema on capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,C), interstitial compliance (Ci), and the volume of fluid filtered after a step increase in microvascular pressure (delta Vi) were determined in eight isolated left lower lobes of dog lungs perfused at 37 degrees C with autologous blood. After attaining a base-line isogravimetric state, the capillary pressure (Pc) was increased in successive steps of 2, 5, and 10 cmH2O. This sequence of vascular pressure increases was repeated three times. Edema accumulation was expressed as weight gained as a percent of initial lobe weight (% delta Wt), and Kf,C was measured by time 0 extrapolation of the weight gain curve. An exponential rate constant for the decrease in the rate of weight gain with time (K) was calculated for each curve. Ci was then calculated by assuming that the capillary wall and interstitium constitute a resistance-capacitance network. Kf,C was not increased by edema formation in any group. Between mild (% delta Wt less than 30%) and severe edema states (% delta Wt greater than 50%) respective mean Ci increased significantly from 3.54 to 9.12 ml.cmH2O-1.100 g-1, K decreased from 0.089 to 0.036 min-1, and delta Vi increased from 1.28 to 2.4 ml.cmH2O-1.100 g-1. The delta Vi during each Pc increase was highly correlated with Kf,C and Ci when used together as independent variables (r = 0.99) but less well correlated when used separately.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

One of the most successful approaches to adjustment of dosage regimens on the basis of single determinations of drug contents in blood specimens provides the blood sampling at the "ideal" moment (t*), i. e. at the time equal to the inverse value of the elimination rate constant. The above version of the one-point method is applicable to drugs obeying the one-compartment model. In practice, however, it is never known a priori whether the individual pharmacokinetic profile (PKP) is monoexponential or not. An attempt was made to apply the one-point method to individual amikacin (Am) intravenous bolus dosing in 27 patients with PKPs described not only by mono- but also by biexponential equations. The individual doses (Dc) estimated on the basis of Am concentrations recorded at the "ideal", point (2.75 hours after the administration) by the equation Dc = Dp.Cp(t*)/Ci(t*) were compared to the doses (DCl) found on the basis of greater than or equal to 4 determinations of the Am concentration (within 0.5 to 6 hours after the administration), i. e. by the equation DCl = Dp.Cli/Clp, where: Dp is the population value of an Am dose (7.5 mg/kg); Cp (t*) is the population value of an Am concentration at t* (6.7 mg/l), Clp is that of the total clearance [81.2 ml/(h.kg)] and Ci (t*) and Cli are the individual values of an Am concentration and clearance, respectively. The correlation coefficient of the DCl vs. Dc estimates was equal to 0.87. In 17 patients with monoexponential PKPs it was higher (r = 0.99).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The net uptake and loss of any element by a living organism can be described as the quotient of the total amount of the element, present in the organism, and its residence time in the organism. Theoretically it can be derived that the residence time tau i, equals Vi1-b/kappa, in which b, the morphometric coefficient, is related to size and shape of the organism (volume Vi); kappa, the turnover coefficient, is related to its metabolic activity. The net uptake or excretion, phi i, of an element then follows from phi = kappa Ci Vib, Ci being the (average, whole animal) concentration of the element. Residence times, derived from the quotient of body volume (weight) and daily food intake of various animal species of different sizes, show that, independent of animal or element species, the morphometric coefficient and turnover coefficient have values of b = 0.735 and k = 71.4 dm. year-1 respectively. The turnover coefficient may show some variation, related to the metabolic activity of the organism. The value of the morphometric coefficient implies that residence times may vary with body size; in small animals the residence times of the elements may be in the order of several hours, whereas in the largest organisms residence times may be as long as several years. The uptake of Na, Mg, Cl and P calculated from the above equation (phi i = k Ci Vib) corresponds very well with data in the literature on the mineral requirements of domestic animals; for Ca the calculated values were lower, for I higher, but they show the same weight-dependence as predicted from the equation. This suggests that the equation may be used tentatively to assess dietary requirements for elements for which up till now no such information exists. Values derived for the uptake and excretion of various elements by the whole biosphere correspond roughly to those estimated for their oceanic fluxes (from data compiled by Brewer, 1975). This supports the hypothesis that the global turnover of (many) elements is closely related to biological (metabolic) processes. 相似文献

The contribution of Ca2+ channels and Na+/Ca2+ exchange to Ca2+ uptake in rat brain synaptosomes upon long- (t greater than or equal to 30 s) and short-term (t less than 30 s) depolarization by high K+ was studied by measuring the 45Ca content and free Ca2+ concentration (from Quin-2 fluorescence). At 37 degrees C, the system responsible for the K+-stimulated uptake of 45Ca (t greater than or equal to 30 s) and the Na+/Ca+ exchanger are characterized by a similar concentration dependence of external Ca2+ (Ca0(2+] and K0+ as well as by an equal sensitivity to verapamil (Ki = approximately 20-40 microM) and La2+ (Ki = approximately 50 microM). These data and the results from predepolarization suggest that the 45Ca entry into synaptosomes at t greater than or equal to 30 s is due to the activation of Na+/Ca+ exchange caused by its electrogenic component, while the insignificant contribution of Ca2+ channels can be accounted for by their inactivation. At low temperatures (2-4 degrees C) which decelerate the inactivation, the initial phase of 45Ca uptake is fully provided for by Ca2+ channels, showing a lower (as compared to the exchanger) affinity for Ca0(2+) (K0.5 greater than 1 mM)m a greater sensitivity to La3+ (Ki = approximately 0.2-0.3 microM) and verapamil (Ki = approximately 2-3 microM); these channels are fully inactivated by predepolarization with K0+, ouabain and batrachotoxin. The Ca2+ channels can be related to T-type channels, since they are not blocked by nicardipine and niphedipine. 相似文献

The interaction of 4(5)-[2-(4-azido-2-nitroanilino)ethyl]imidazole (AAH), a photolabile histamine receptor antagonist, with the binding of histamine, mepyramine, and tiotidine to guinea pig cerebral cortical membranes was examined to evaluate the specificity of AAH for histamine H1 and H2 receptors. Saturable, specific binding of [3H]histamine, [3H]mepyramine, and [3H]tiotidine to the membranes was observed. Competition assays were used to assess the relative affinity of AAH for H1- and H2-receptors. The rank order of IC50 values obtained was (most to least potent) (i) for competing with [3H]histamine binding: histamine greater than AAH much greater than mepyramine approximately equal to tiotidine; (ii) for competing with [3H]mepyramine binding: mepyramine much greater than AAH greater than histamine greater than tiotidine; and (III) for competing with [3H]tiotidine binding: tiotidine much greater than mepyramine greater than histamine approximately equal to AAH. The affinity of AAH for H1 receptors was ca. 14-fold greater than for H2 receptors. These findings support previous evidence obtained in isolated smooth muscle preparations that AAH shows H1-receptor selectivity as an antagonist. 相似文献

The effect of varying octanol: water partition coefficients, P, (range 0.026-260) on the uptake of uncharged 2-nitroimidazoles into Chinese hamster V79 379A cells has been studied. Average intracellular concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography after centrifuging cells through oil or an aqueous medium. The ratio of intracellular concentration of radiosensitizer to extracellular concentration (Ci/Ce) for misonidazole (P = 0.43) was 0.85 for the oil method and 0.68 for the aqueous method. For values of P less than about 0.05 uptake was initially very slow and Ci was always less than Ce. When P greater than or equal to 0.1 uptake was rapid and then remained unchanged for times up to 3 h; for P greater than or equal to 10, Ci/Ce increased rapidly as P increased. Ro 31-1405 (P = 260) concentrated by a factor of 7 inside the cell. Although uptake was identical for cells suspended in full growth medium and PBS, radiosensitization was greater for cells in PBS: 1 mmol dm-3 misonidazole produced an enhancement ratio of 1.6 in full growth medium and 1.9 in PBS. This increase in radiosensitization could not be accounted for by protein binding. However, measurements on cellular non-protein sulphydryl (NPSH) demonstrated the levels to be reduced to about 60 per cent for cells in PBS. Similar reductions in NPSH levels have previously been shown not to increase the radiosensitivity of control cells but to increase greatly the effectiveness of nitroimidazole radiosensitizers. 相似文献

PACAP (pituitary adenylate-cyclase-activating peptide)-binding receptors were investigated in membranes from the rat pancreatic acinar cell line, AR 4-2J, the rat hippocampus and the human neuroblastoma cell line NB-OK, by 125I-PACAP(1-27) (amino acid residues 1-27 of N-terminal amidated PACAP) binding and adenylate cyclase activation. The relative binding of 125I-PACAP(1-27) to the receptor, and ability to activate adenylate cyclase were PACAP greater than or equal to PACAP(1-27) greater than PACAP(2-38) greater than PACAP(1-9)-VIP(10-28)(PACAP-VIP) greater than PACAP(2-27) greater than [Ser9,Tyr13]VIP greater than [Tyr13]VIP greater than or equal to [Ser9]VIP greater than or equal to VIP(1-23)-PACAP(24-27)(VIP-PACAP) greater than VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide). The N-terminal moiety of PACAP(1-27) was more important than the three amino acids at the C-terminus for 125I-PACAP(1-27)-binding site recognition. For rat pancreatic 125I-VIP-binding sites tested with 125I-VIP, the order of binding affinity was PACAP = PACAP(1-27) greater than or equal to VIP = [Ser9]VIP = [Tyr13]VIP = [Ser9,Try13]VIP greater than or equal to PACAP-VIP greater than or equal to VIP-PACAP greater than PACAP(2-38) = PACAP(2-27). Pancreatic 125I-VIP-binding sites, when compared to 125I-PACAP(1-27)-binding sites, showed little specificity and only weak coupling, so that PACAP and VIP-PACAP acted only as partial VIP agonists on adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Alpha-adrenergic receptors may play an important role in regulating vascular tone and reactivity. To study alpha-adrenergic receptors in blood vessels, we have developed a method to characterize and quantitate alpha-adrenergic receptors in a particulate fraction of individual rabbit aortas using the high specific activity alpha antagonist [125I] BE2254. [125I] BE2254 specifically labels a single class of binding sites with a dissociation constant of 286 pM and a maximal binding capacity of 16.7 fmoles/mg protein. Catecholamines compete for [125I] BE2254 binding stereospecifically and with the characteristic alpha-adrenergic potency series of (-)epinephrine greater than or equal to (-)norepinephrine much greater than (-)isoproterenol. The alpha 1-selective antagonist prazosin (KD = 0.7 nM) is much more potent in competing for [125I] BE2254 binding than is the alpha 2-selective antagonist yohimbine (KD = 1000 nM), which suggests that the alpha adrenergic receptor identified is predominantly of the alpha 1 subtype. Also, the dissociation constants from these binding studies were in good agreement with those reported in rabbit aorta from classical pharmacological experiments where contraction was found to be mediated via alpha 1 receptors. This extension of radioligand binding techniques to individual rabbit aortas should simplify the study of vascular alpha adrenergic receptor regulation, and provide a basis for broadening the understanding of vascular alpha adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Acetylcholine receptors in normal and denervated rat diaphragm muscle. I. Purification and interaction with [125I]-alpha-bungarotoxin. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Acetylcholine receptors have been purified from junctional regions of normal rat diaphragm muscle and from extrajunctional regions of denervated diaphragm. The reaction of purified receptors with [122I]-alpha-bungarotoxin has been investigated by kinetic methods. The toxin-receptor complexes dissociated in a biphasic manner at 35 degrees with a rapidly dissociating component (t1/2 = 4 hr) and a slowly dissociating component (t1/2 is greater than or equal to 100 hr). The association reaction between toxin and receptor did not obey simple second-order kinetics but could be analyzed in terms of two classes of binding sites corresponding to the two rates of dissociation. This treatment of the data allowed derivation of association rate constants for the two sites. Value obtained for the dissociation constants were 3.7 times 10(-10) and less than or equal to 0.4 times 10(-10) M for the junctional receptor and 1.7 times 10(-10) and is less than or equal to 0.2 times 10(-10) M for the extrajunctional receptor. In each case it is the more tightly binding component that associates and dissociates more slowly. Receptors present in crude preparations were comparable to purified receptors in their reaction with [125I-alpha-bungarotoxin. The validity of the two site model is discussed in relation to the kinetic studies. 相似文献

Surfactin is a lipopeptide produced by certain strains of Bacillus subtilis and has potent surface activity. Here, we present the first results showing that ion-conducting pores can be formed by surfactin in artificial lipid membranes. With a low aqueous concentration of surfactin (1 microM) and a restricted membrane area (5.10(-5) cm2) we observed conductance jumps that indicate the formation of individual ionic channels in the presence of K+, Rb+, Cs+, Na+ or Li+ chlorides. Although for every salt concentration (Ci), the distribution in amplitude of the conductance steps (lambda i) may be rather broad, there is always a step amplitude which is more frequent than the others. In addition, the channels corresponding to this most frequent step amplitude are the longest in duration. For Ci = 1 M, the cationic selectivity sequence deduced from these most frequent events is K+ greater than Rb+ greater than Na+ greater than Cs+ = Li+ with respective values for lambda Mi: 130, 110, 80 and 30 pS. In KCl solutions lambda MKCl increases as a function of Ci for low Ci, and shows a plateau for Ci greater than 0.5 M. When measured on larger area membranes (10(-2)cm2) with 1 M solutions of the monovalent salts KCl, NaCl, RbCl and CsCl or the divalent salt CaCl2, the macroscopic low voltage conductance (G0) increases with a slope of 2 on a log-log plot as a function of surfactin concentration. These results demonstrate that surfactin produces selective cationic channels in lipid bilayer membranes and suggest that at higher salt concentration, a dimer is involved in this functional channel-forming process. 相似文献

The regulation of Cl- conductance by cytoplasmic nucleotides was investigated in pancreatic and parotid zymogen granules. Cl- conductance was assayed by measuring the rate of cation-ionophore-induced osmotic lysis of granules suspended in iso-osmotic salt solutions. Both inhibition and stimulation were observed, depending on the type and concentration of nucleotide. Under optimal conditions, the average inhibition measured in different preparations was 1.6-fold, whereas the average stimulation was 4.4-fold. ATP was inhibitory at 1-10 microM but stimulated Cl- conductance above 50 microM. Stimulation by ATP was more pronounced in granules with low endogenous Cl- conductance. The potency of nucleotides in terms of inhibition was ATP greater than adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]) greater than UTP much greater than or equal to CTP much greater than or equal to GTP much greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) much greater than or equal to ITP. The potency with respect to stimulation had the following order: adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate (App[CH2]p) greater than ATP greater than guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]). Adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (App[NH]p) was also stimulatory, and was more potent than ATP in the parotid granules, but less potent in the pancreatic granules. Aluminium fluoride stimulated Cl- conductance maximally at 15-30 microM-Al3+ and 10-15 mM-F. F was less effective at higher concentrations. Protein phosphorylation by kinases was apparently not involved, since the nucleotide effects (1) could be mimicked by non-hydrolysable analogues of ATP and GTP, (2) showed reversibility, and (3) were not abolished by the protein kinase inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) or staurosporine. The data suggest the presence of at least two binding sites for nucleotides, whereby occupancy of one induces inhibition and occupancy of the other induces stimulation. 相似文献

A new type of VIP receptor was characterized in human SUP-T1 lymphoblasts. The order of potency of unlabeled peptides, in the presence of [125I]helodermin, was: helodermin(1-35)-NH2 = helodermin(1-27)-NH2 greater than helospectin greater than VIP = PHI greater than [D-Ser2]VIP greater than [D-Asp3]VIP greater than [D-His1]VIP greater than or equal to [D-Ala4]VIP greater than or equal to secretin = GRF. This specificity was distinct from that of all VIP receptors described so far in that: (i) the affinity for helodermin (Kd = 3 nM) was higher than that of VIP (Kd = 15 nM) and PHI (Kd = 20 nM); and (ii) position 4 played an important role in ligand binding. The labeled sites were likely to be functional receptors as adenylate cyclase in crude lymphoblastic membranes (200-10,000 x g pellets) was stimulated by peptides, in the presence of GTP, with the following order of potency: helodermin(1-35)-NH2 greater than helodermin(1-27)-NH2 greater than helospectin = VIP = PHI. 相似文献

P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a transmembrane protein conferring multidrug resistance to cells by extruding a variety of amphipathic cytotoxic agents using energy from ATP hydrolysis. The objective of this study was to understand how substrates affect the catalytic cycle of ATP hydrolysis by Pgp. The ATPase activity of purified and reconstituted recombinant human Pgp was measured using a continuous cycling assay. Pgp hydrolyzes ATP in the absence of drug at a basal rate of 0.5 micromol x min x mg(-1) with a K(m) for ATP of 0.33 mm. This basal rate can be either increased or decreased depending on the Pgp substrate used, without an effect on the K(m) for ATP or 8-azidoATP and K(i) for ADP, suggesting that substrates do not affect nucleotide binding to Pgp. Although inhibitors of Pgp activity, cyclosporin A, its analog PSC833, and rapamycin decrease the rate of ATP hydrolysis with respect to the basal rate, they do not completely inhibit the activity. Therefore, these drugs can be classified as substrates. Vanadate (Vi)-induced trapping of [alpha-(32)P]8-azidoADP was used to probe the effect of substrates on the transition state of the ATP hydrolysis reaction. The K(m) for [alpha-(32)P]8-azidoATP (20 microm) is decreased in the presence of Vi; however, it is not changed by drugs such as verapamil or cyclosporin A. Strikingly, the extent of Vi-induced [alpha-(32)P]8-azidoADP trapping correlates directly with the fold stimulation of ATPase activity at steady state. Furthermore, P(i) exhibits very low affinity for Pgp (K(i) approximately 30 mm for Vi-induced 8-azidoADP trapping). In aggregate, these data demonstrate that the release of Vi trapped [alpha-(32)P]8-azidoADP from Pgp is the rate-limiting step in the steady-state reaction. We suggest that substrates modulate the rate of ATPase activity of Pgp by controlling the rate of dissociation of ADP following ATP hydrolysis and that ADP release is the rate-limiting step in the normal catalytic cycle of Pgp. 相似文献

Ligand-induced myosin subfragment 1 global conformational change 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of selected ligands on the structure of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) were compared by using transient electrical birefringence techniques. With pairs of dilute solutions of S1 at 3.5 degrees C in low ionic strength (mu = 0.020 M) buffers that had matched electrical impedances, S1 with Mg2+, MgADP, or MgADP.Vi bound was subjected to 6-7-microseconds external electrical fields in the Kerr law range. Specific Kerr constants and the rates of rotational Brownian motion after the electric field was removed were measured. Neither Mg2+ nor MgADP had a measurable effect on either observable, but when orthovanadate (Vi) bound S1.MgADP it decreased the rotational correlation coefficient from 267 +/- 6 to 244 +/- 10 ns. Parallel measurements of MgATPase activity indicated that S1.MgADP.Vi was greater than 95% inhibited. These results confirm the conclusion of Aguirre et al. [(1989) Biochemistry 28, 799] that Vi binding to S1.MgADP increases its rate of rotational Brownian motion and provide data that are more quantitatively correlated with S1 structure. The Vi-induced change in the rotational correlation coefficient is consistent with S1 becoming more flexible or more compact when Vi binds. Assuming that S1.MgADP.Vi is an analogue for S1.MgADP.Pi, the structural changes observed for S1-ligand complexes in solution are discussed in relation to possible structural changes of intermediates on the kinetic pathway of ATPase hydrolysis. A new model of force generation by S1 in muscle is hypothesized. 相似文献

Characterization of Adenosine Receptors in the PC 12 Pheochromocytoma Cell Line Using Radioligand Binding: Evidence for A-2 Selectivity 总被引:2,自引:3,他引:2

Examination of the binding characteristics of the adenosine agonist radioligands [3H]N6-cyclohexyladenosine [( 3H]CHA), [3H]cyclopentyladenosine [( 3H]CPA), and [3H]5'-N-ethylcarboxamido adenosine [( 3H]NECA) to membranes prepared from PC12 cells showed that the A-1-selective ligands (CHA and CPA) had minimal binding, which was not amenable to analysis using curve-fitting programs. However, [3H]NECA, a nonselective A-1/A-2 agonist, gave reproducible binding, which was enhanced by removal of endogenous adenosine, using the catabolic enzyme adenosine deaminase. This binding was of high affinity (KD = 4.7 nM) with limited capacity (263 fmol/mg of protein). Specific binding of [3H]NECA was unaffected by the presence of either CPA (50 nM) or MgCl2 (10 mM) but was sensitive to guanylylimidodiphosphate (100 microM), a finding suggesting involvement of an N-protein mechanism in the coupling of the adenosine receptor labeled by [3H]NECA to other components of the receptor complex. Binding of [3H]NECA to PC12 cell membranes was stereo-selective, with the R isomer of N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) being approximately 12 times more active than S-PIA. The A-1-selective agonist CPA was a weak inhibitor of [3H]NECA binding (Ki = 251 nM). The rank order of activity of adenosine agonists in displacing specific [3H]NECA binding was NECA greater than or equal to 2-chloroadenosine greater than CHA greater than or equal to 5'-N-methylcarboxamido adenosine greater than or equal to R-PIA greater than CPA greater than S-PIA. Binding was also displaced by the marine adenosine agonist 1-methylisoguanosine and by a series of xanthine antagonists with the activity order being 1,3-dipropyl-8-(2-amino-4-chloro)phenylxanthine greater than 8-phenyltheophylline greater than 8-p-sulfophenyltheophylline.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
