Two orders of saturable binding sites for L-triiodothyronine were found on washed rat erythrocyte membranes. The high affinity, low capacity site showed values of Kd 0.19 X 10(-10) M. This value was in the range of concentration of free L-triiodothyronine found in the plasma and was several orders of magnitude higher than the Kd values previously reported for other L-triiodothyronine membrane-binding systems. The binding site also showed a high stereospecificity for L-triiodothyronine. D-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine and L-thyroxine were less potent (about 1000-fold) than L-triiodothyronine in competing for these sites. L-3,3,5'-triiodothyronine and triiodothyroacetic acid were inactive. The physiological relevance of this site is considered.  相似文献

Alpha-fetoprotein receptors in a human breast cancer cell line   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Evidence is presented for the existence of specific receptors for alpha-fetoprotein on the surface of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. At 4 degrees C, the binding of alpha-fetoprotein to these cells displayed a biphasic saturation curve. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of at least two binding sites with dissociation constants of 4.5 X 10(-9) M (2,000 sites/cell) and 1.3 X 10(-8) M (135,000 sites/cell), respectively. Binding was inhibited by 85% in the presence of a 5,000-fold excess of unlabeled alpha-fetoprotein and by 50% with the same excess of serum albumin. Competition by other serum proteins was not significant. At 37 degrees C, alpha-fetoprotein was endocytosed and the uptake curve reached a plateau after 3-4 hours of incubation.  相似文献

A thyroid binding peripheral membrane protein(s) has been characterized in human red cell. Two classes of affinity sites for triiodothyronine have been demonstrated. The high affinity, low capacity site showed values for dissociation constant of 2 X 10(-10)M. The binding activity depended on the presence of free -SH group and showed a high stereospecificity for L-triiodothyronine, L-thyroxine was less potent (about 1,000-fold) than L-triiodothyronine in competing for this site. The results are discussed with respect to their cellular significance.  相似文献

F Met-Leu-[3H]Phe and f Nle-Leu-[3H]Phe binding to rabbit peritoneal neutrophils and purified membranes were measured at 4 degrees C silicone oil centrifugation assays, and the results were analyzed by the LIGAND computer program, which permits analysis of ligand binding to multiple classes of binding sites. LIGAND analysis of peptide binding to intact neutrophil indicated that both f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe and f Nle-Leu-[3H]Phe detected two population of binding sites. The apparent Kd values for f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe binding were 1.6 +/- 1.0 X 10(-9) M and 2.2 +/- 0.9 X 10(-8) M, respectively, and 3.1 +/- 0.2 X 10(-9) M and 1.2 +/- 0.6 X 10(-7) M for f Nle-Leu-[3H]Phe. Furthermore, the higher affinity sites detected on whole cells comprised approximately 15 to 30% of the total sites. Two populations of binding sites were also detected on purified neutrophil plasma membranes by both radiolabeled chemotactic peptides. LIGAND analysis of peptide binding to purified membranes yielded apparent Kd values of 5.0 +/- 2.5 X 10(-10) M and 4.8 +/- 0.6 X 10(-8) M for f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe binding, and 4.7 +/- 4.2 X 10(-10) M and 3.0 +/- 1.3 X 10(-8) M for f Nle-Leu-[3H]Phe. The percentage of higher affinity sites detected by f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe and f Nle-Leu-[3H]Phe on purified membranes were 1 to 5% of the total sites detected. These data are consistent either with the existence of two independent binding sites for formylpeptides on rabbit neutrophils or receptor negative cooperativity.  相似文献

Isolated, intact rat liver nuclei have high-affinity (Kd = 10(-9) M) binding sites that are highly specific for nonsteroidal antiestrogens, especially for compounds of the triphenylethylene series. Nuclear [3H]tamoxifen binding capacity is thermolabile, being most stable at 4 degrees C and rapidly lost at 37 degrees C. More [3H]tamoxifen, however, is specifically bound at incubation temperatures of 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C although prewarming nuclei has no effect, suggesting exchange of [3H]tamoxifen for an unidentified endogeneous ligand. Nuclear antiestrogen binding sites are destroyed by trypsin but not by deoxyribonuclease I or ribonuclease A. The nuclear antiestrogen binding protein is not solubilized by 0.6 M potassium chloride, 2 M sodium chloride, 0.6 M sodium thiocyanate, 3 M urea, 20 mM pyridoxal phosphate, 1% (w/v) digitonin or 2% (w/v) sodium cholate but is extractable by sonication, indicating that it is tightly bound within the nucleus. Rat liver nuclear matrix contains high-affinity (Kd = 10(-9) M) [3H]tamoxifen binding sites present in 5-fold higher concentrations (4.18 pmol/mg DNA) than in intact nuclei (0.78 +/- 0.10 (S.D.) pmol/mg DNA). Low-speed rat liver cytosol (20 000 X g, 30 min) contains high-capacity (955 +/- 405 (S.D.) fmol/mg protein), low-affinity (Kd = 10.9 +/- 4.5 (S.D.) nM) antiestrogen binding sites. In contrast, high-speed cytosol (100 000 X g, 60 min) contains low-capacity (46 +/- 15 (S.D.) fmol/mg protein), high-affinity (Kd = 0.61 +/- 0.20 (S.D.) nM) binding sites. Low-affinity cytosolic sites constitute more than 90% of total liver binding sites, high-affinity cytosolic sites 0.3%-3.2%, and nuclear sites less than 0.5% of total sites.  相似文献

The effect of growth temperature on the binding of Candida albicans to human buccal epithelial cells (BECs) was examined using an equilibrium of binding analysis. Candida albicans was cultured in M9 medium either for 12 h at 25 degrees C or for 9 h at 25 degrees C and then shifted to 37 degrees C for 3 h. The temperature shift did not result in germ tube formation; however, the adherence of C. albicans to BECs was altered. Shifting temperature increased the yeast's ability to bind to BECs. A Langmuir adsorption isotherm was used to calculate the maximum number of available binding sites (N) and the apparent association constants of binding (Ka) for all resolvable adhesin-receptor interactions. Three classes of adhesin-receptor interactions were resolved when the yeast was cultured at 25 degrees C and included a low copy number site (N = 3.0 cfu/BEC; Ka = 2.11 X 10(-6) mL/cfu), a medium copy number site (N = 23.6 cfu/BEC, Ka = 8.21 X 10(-7) mL/cfu), and a high copy number site (N = 91.7 cfu/BEC, Ka = 3.35 X 10(-8) mL/cfu). Two classes of adhesin-receptor interactions were resolved when the incubation temperature was shifted to 37 degrees C: a low copy number site (N = 4.5 cfu/BEC, Ka = 3.98 X 10(-6) mL/cfu) and a high copy number site (N = 150.5 cfu/BEC, Ka = 8.47 X 10(-8) mL/cfu). Augmented C. albicans adherence to BECs due to the elevated growth temperatures appears to result from a temperature-regulated alteration in the C. albicans adhesin that recognizes a high copy number receptor site with relatively low affinity.  相似文献

The binding of [14C]NAD to rat brain synaptic membranes is reversible and depends on incubation time, temperature and protein concentration in the reaction mixture. The value of the rate constant for [14C]NAD binding to the synaptic membranes at 24 degrees C (kl) is 1.1 X 10(-6) M-1 S-1, the rate constant for dissociation of the [14C]NAD-receptor complex (k-1) is 3.3 X 10(-3) S-1. The value of the constant for the ligand dissociation from this complex (Kd) is 3.0 nmole. Treatment of the experimental results in the Scatchard plots for the equilibrium binding of [14C]NAD to the synaptic membranes demonstrated that the receptor sites with high and low affinities for the ligand (Kd1 = 3.3 nmol, Kd2 = 14.4 nmole) and with binding capacities of 44 and 77 pmole of [14C]NAD, respectively. It was found that the synaptosomal membrane components which bind the labelled NAD have a protein nature. Data from [14C]NAD and [nicotinamide-3H]NAD binding suggest that brain synaptic membranes bind NAD at the nicotinamide and adenylic moieties.  相似文献

The effect of calcium ion on 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) binding to rat kidney outer mitochondrial membranes was examined in vitro. The outer mitochondrial membranes were prepared by using a discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The membrane fraction, which is enriched with monoamine oxidase activity, contained specific binding sites for T3. Scatchard analysis of T3 binding to outer mitochondrial membranes gave an association constant (Ka) of 0.53 X 10(10)M-1. The binding of [125I]-T3 to the membranes was inhibited by the addition of CaCl2(0.25 X 10(-4)--2.5 X 10(-3)M). 50% inhibition was obtained by 0.75 X 10(-4)M CaCl2 in the presence of 0.1 mM EGTA. When outer mitochondrial membranes were solubilized with Triton X-100, four main T3 binding activities were isolated by a gel filtration study. On the other hand, the binding of [125I]-T3 to the solubilized T3 receptors derived from outer mitochondrial membranes was not strongly inhibited by calcium. When outer mitochondrial membranes were preincubated in the presence of 1 mM calcium, the number of T3 binding sites in the membranes was decreased, and this was associated with an increase in the number of T3 binding sites in the supernatants of the incubation mixture. Scatchard analysis showed that the number of T3 binding sites in the membranes is decreased by calcium ion without any change in the association constant. In studies with gel filtration of receptors which are released by Ca2+ from outer mitochondrial membranes, three main T3 binding activities were isolated. Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ did not affect T3 binding to outer mitochondrial membranes. The results indicate that calcium ion regulates T3 binding to the outer mitochondrial membrane through the release of T3 receptors from the membranes.  相似文献

When human platelets are incubated with 500 nM-PAF-acether (platelet-activating factor. 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) under equilibrium conditions (60 min, 22 degrees C, non-stirred suspensions), two classes of fibrinogen binding sites are exposed: one class with a high affinity [Kd (7.2 +/- 2.1) X 10(-8) M, 2367 +/- 485 sites/platelet, n = 9] and one class with a low affinity [Kd (5.9 +/- 2.4) X 10(-7) M, 26972 +/- 8267 sites/platelet]. Preincubation with inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase (acetylsalicylic acid, indomethacin) or thromboxane synthetase (UK 38.485) completely abolishes high-affinity binding, leaving low-affinity binding unchanged. In contrast, ADP scavengers (phosphocreatine/creatine kinase or phosphoenol pyruvate/pyruvate kinase) completely prevent low-affinity binding, leaving high-affinity binding unaltered. Initial binding studies (2-10 min incubation) confirm these findings with a major part of the binding being sensitive to ADP scavengers, a minor part sensitive to indomethacin and complete blockade with both inhibitors. Increasing the temperature to 37 degrees C decreases the number of low affinity-binding sites 6-fold without changing high-affinity binding. Aggregation, measured as the rate of single platelet disappearance, then depends on high-affinity binding at 10 nM-fibrinogen or less, whereas at 100 nM-fibrinogen or more low-affinity binding becomes predominant. These findings point at considerable platelet activation during binding experiments. However, arachidonate metabolism [( 3H]arachidonate mobilization and thromboxane synthesis) and secretion [( 14C]serotonin and beta-thromboglobulin) are about 10% or less of the amounts found under optimal conditions (5 units of thrombin/ml 37 degrees C, stirring). We conclude that PAF-acether induces little platelet activation under binding conditions. The amounts of thromboxane A2 and secreted ADP, however, are sufficient for initiating high- and low-affinity fibrinogen binding via mutually independent mechanisms.  相似文献

Prolactin binding in the developing rat fetal liver   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The binding of prolactin by fetal rat liver cell membrane fractions from 17 to 21 days gestation was studied. Particulate liver membranes were prepared in Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) by ultracentrifugation and incubated at 22 degrees C for 16 hours with [125I] iodo-human growth hormone (hGH). Non-specific binding was assessed by parallel incubations in the presence of a 2000-fold excess ovine prolactin. Specific prolactin binding sites were detected only at 21 days gestation (2932 +/- 401 cpm/mg protein) in freshly prepared membranes. On freezing at -20 degrees C for 24 to 48 hours, the membranes of 20 days gestation animals were able to specifically bind prolactin (1295 +/- 239 cpm/mg protein). Freezing led to a 45 +/- 7% increase (4270 +/- 701 cpm/mg protein) in prolactin binding at 21 days gestation. No hormonal binding was detected from 17 through 19 days gestation in either fresh or freeze-thawed membranes. Scatchard analysis revealed a high affinity binding site with a Ka of approximately 1.4 X 10(8)M-1 in both fresh and freeze-thawed membrane preparations. The data show that 1) prolactin receptors appear in liver only during late fetal life and that 2) freezing of membranes may unmask binding sites that are initially unavailable to specifically bind prolactin.  相似文献

Nuclear binding sites of T3 in human trophoblastic cells were biochemically characterized. Nuclei were isolated by a combination procedure with mild homogenization of the freshly obtained trophoblastic tissue aged term gestation, centrifugations and Triton X-100 treatment. The isolated nuclei were incubated with various concentrations of 125I-T3 at 20 degrees C for 3 h. The total number of T3 binding sites per nucleus was approximately 650. The apparent association constant (Ka) was 6.0 X 10(9)M-1. Nuclear proteins extracted from purified nuclei with 0.4M KCl were able to bind T3 giving rise to nuclear thyroid hormone binding protein-T3 complexes and they were precipitated with bovine IgG, as a carrier protein, by 12.5% polyethylene glycol. Binding was maximum in 3 h incubation at 20 degrees C or in 18 h at 0 degrees C, while it dropped quickly at 37 degrees C. The binding characteristics were analyzed by Scatchard plots. In nuclear proteins obtained from 8 term placentae there was a single set of high affinity-low capacity T3 binding sites with Ka of 7.0 X 10(9)M-1. The capacity is about 62.7 fmol T3/mg DNA. The binding sites were found to be specific for L-T3, while L-T4 was about 100-fold less effective, rT3 ineffective, and D-T3 and D-T4 were roughly 1/8 and 1/5 as active as L-T3 and L-T4, respectively in displacing 125I-T3 from the binding sites. These data confirmed that human placenta is a target organ of thyroid hormones; trophoblastic cells contain T3 nuclear receptors which are biochemically similar to those isolated from liver, although the capacity is low.  相似文献

The role of the cellular receptor for the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in cholesterol transport was initially defined through the study of nonhepatic cells in vitro. Since the liver is central in plasma lipoprotein metabolism, an investigation of hepatic lipoprotein receptors is important for understanding normal lipoprotein transport. Utilizing human hepatic and fibroblast membranes, the characteristics of receptors for LDL from hepatic and nonhepatic tissues were directly compared. Human hepatic membranes reversibly bound LDL within 5 min. Although both fibroblast and hepatic membranes saturably bound LDL at 37 degrees C, the fibroblast LDL receptor affinity (Kd = 2.5 X 10(-8) M) and number (5.5 X 10(12) sites/mg membrane protein) were greater than the hepatic receptor affinity (Kd = 10.8 X 10(-8) M) and number (0.5 X 10(12) sites/mg membrane protein). In contrast to the fibroblast LDL receptor which was unable to bind LDL in the presence of EDTA, the hepatic LDL receptor binding of LDL was only partially blocked by EDTA. The binding of LDL to its hepatic receptor is highly temperature-dependent, and studies utilizing both radiolabeled LDL and colloidal gold-labeled LDL indicate that little, if any, binding of LDL hepatic membranes occur at 0-4 degrees C. The hepatic membrane receptor(s) (Mr approximately equal to 270 000 and 330 000) differ from that of the fibroblast LDL receptor (Mr approximately equal to 130 000) and these proteins are present in hepatic membranes from a patient lacking the fibroblast LDL receptor. These data indicate that an expressed hepatic LDL receptor has unique properties different from those of the fibroblast LDL receptor and that the expressed protein(s) is genetically distinct from the fibroblast receptor.  相似文献

125I-labelled heat-labile toxin (from Escherichia coli) and 125I-labelled cholera toxin bound to immobilized ganglioside GM1 and Balb/c 3T3 cell membranes with identical specificities, i.e. each toxin inhibited binding of the other. Binding of both toxins to Balb/c 3T3 cell membranes was saturable, with 50% of maximal binding occurring at 0.3 nM for cholera toxin and 1.1 nM for heat-labile toxin, and the number of sites for each toxin was similar. The results suggest that both toxins recognize the same receptor, namely ganglioside GM1. In contrast, binding of 125I-heat-labile toxin to rabbit intestinal brush borders at 0 degree C was not inhibited by cholera toxin, although heat-labile toxin inhibited 125I-cholera toxin binding. In addition, there were 3-10-fold more binding sites for heat-labile toxin than for cholera toxin. At 37 degrees C cholera toxin, but more particularly its B-subunit, did significantly inhibit 125I-heat-labile toxin binding. Binding of 125I-cholera toxin was saturable, with 50% maximal of binding occurring at 1-2 nM, and was quantitatively inhibited by 10(-8) M unlabelled toxin or B-subunit. By contrast, binding of 125I-heat-labile toxin was non-saturable (up to 5 nM), and 2 X 10(-7) M unlabelled B-subunit was required to quantitatively inhibit binding. Neuraminidase treatment of brush borders increased 125I-cholera toxin but not heat-labile toxin binding. Extensive digestion of membranes with Streptomyces griseus proteinase or papain did not decrease the binding of either toxin. The additional binding sites for heat-labile toxin are not gangliosides. Thin-layer chromatograms of gangliosides which were overlayed with 125I-labelled toxins showed that binding of both toxins was largely restricted to ganglioside GM1. However, 125I-heat-labile toxin was able to bind to brush-border galactoproteins resolved by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose.  相似文献

The parathyrin receptor in renal cortex has been investigated by studying the binding of 125I-labelled parathyrin, or of unlabelled parathyrin detected with 125I-labelled antibodies, to a partially purified plasma membrane fraction. The kinetics of hormone uptake demonstrated a biphasic response in both systems at 22 degrees C but this phenomenon was not detectable at 37 degrees C. Specific displacement of lactoperoxidase labelled 125I-labelled parathyrin occurred with 8 ng unlabelled bovine parathyrin. The apparent affinity constant was 2.3-10(8) M(-1) and the apparent binding capacity of the membranes 1.25 pmol/mg protein. Using the labelled antibody technique the receptor showed maximal binding at pH 7.0-7.5. As little as 80 pg bovine parathyrin produced a significant increase in binding of labelled anti-bovine parathyrin antibody and saturation of binding sites was demonstrated at 2.5 pmol/mg protein. Oxidized hormone showed undetectable binding. Treatment of membranes with phospholipases A or D, or Trypsin greatly reduced subsequent hormone binding. Prior incubation of membranes with 1-34 synthetic parathyrin decreased the binding of intact hormone whereas gastrin, insulin and glucagon had no effect. Growth hormone and calcitonin slightly increased parathyrin binding.  相似文献

When 0.5 M sodium thiocyanate is added to uterine cytosol previously labeled with excess [3H]-17 beta-estradiol, no change can be detected in the steady-state cytosol concentration of [3H]estradiol-receptor complex for at least 20 h at 4 degrees C. However, the rate of exchange of bound estradiol in the presence of NaSCN was found to be substantially higher than that in the absence of the chaotropic salt. In the presence of NaSCN, the dissociation rate of the complex increases about 10-fold (K-1 SCN = 1.10 x 10(-2) min-1 vs. K-1 = 1.07 X 10 (-3)min-1) while the rate of association increases about 2-fold (K1 SCN = 1.2 X 10(7) min-1M-1 vs.K1= 7.4 X 10(6) min-1 M-1). The Kd changes 6.4-fold (Kd SCN = 9 X 10(-10) M vs. Kd = 1.4 x 10(-10 M) with no decrease in the number of binding sites as shown by Scatchard plots of saturation experiments. This effect of NaSCN can be exploited to assay preformed estrogen-receptor complex by exchange with [3H]estradiol at low temperature. When the sample containing preformed complex is incubated overnight (16 h) at 4 degrees C with excess [3H]estradiol in the presence of 0.5 M NaSCN, there is a quantitative exchange of nonlabeled for estradiol without loss of binding sites. Hormonal steroids other than estrogens do not interfere, and the exchange estradiol is bound with high affinity. Precision, accuracy, and linearity of the method are highly satisfactory.  相似文献

The nonenzymatic glycation of basement membrane proteins, such as fibronectin and type IV collagen, occurs in diabetes mellitus. These proteins are nonenzymatically glycated in vivo and can also be nonenzymatically glycated in vitro. After 12 days of incubation at 37 degrees C with 500 mM glucose, purified samples of human plasma fibronectin and native type IV collagen showed a 13.0- and 4.2-fold increase, respectively, in glycated amino acid levels in comparison to control samples incubated in the absence of glucose. Gelatin (denatured calfskin collagen) was glycated 22.3-fold under the same conditions. Scatchard analyses were performed on the binding of radiolabeled fibronectin to gelatin or type IV collagen. It was found that there is a 3-fold reduction in the affinity of fibronectin to type IV collagen due to the nonenzymatic glycation of fibronectin. The dissociation constant (KD) for the binding of control fibronectin to type IV collagen was 9.6 X 10(-7) M while the KD for glycated fibronectin and type IV collagen was 2.9 X 10(-6) M. This was similar to the 2.7-fold reduction in the affinity of fibronectin for gelatin found as a result of the nonenzymatic glycation of fibronectin (KD of 4.5 X 10(-7) M for the interaction of control fibronectin with gelatin vs. KD of 1.2 X 10(-6) M for the interaction of nonenzymatically glycated fibronectin with gelatin). The molecular association of control fibronectin or its glycated counterpart with [3H]heparin was also determined. Scatchard analyses of this interaction showed no difference between control fibronectin and glycated fibronectin in [3H]heparin binding.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

By using tritiated 1-O-alkyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (3H-PAF), we have directly identified its specific binding sites on rabbit platelet plasma membranes. The equilibrium dissociation constant for 3H-PAF is 1.36 (+/- 0.05) X 10(-9) M at 0 degrees C. The number of binding sites is 1.61 (+/- 0.34) X 10(12)/mg of membrane, which corresponds to approximately 150-300 receptors/platelet (depending on membrane vesicle orientation). Binding of 3H-PAF to rabbit platelet plasma membrane is rapid (t1/2 less than 5 min at 0 degrees C) and reversible. For a series of PAF analogues, their affinity for the receptor sites parallels with their relative potency to induce platelet aggregation. PAF can cause contraction of smooth muscle of heart, parenchymal strip, trachea, and ileum. Specific PAF receptor binding was demonstrated with purified plasma membrane from several smooth muscles and from polymorphonuclear leukocytes but not from presumably PAF nonresponsive cells such as erythrocytes and alveolar macrophages. It is likely that the interaction of PAF with these binding sites initiates the specific responses of platelets, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and smooth muscles.  相似文献

Prolactin iodinated by lactoperoxidase method showed immunologically, electrophoretically and biolo9gically similar properties to native prolactin and possessed enough specific radioactivity for receptor studies. 1251-prolactin was incubated with mouse mammary tissues at 8 days of lactation. Both binding and release of 1251-prolactin depended on incubation time and temperature and were maximal at 37 degrees C. Michaelis constant was estimated to be 1.4 X 10(-9) M from Lineweaver-Burk plot and to be 1.2 X 10(-9) M from id-value of the dose-response curve for displacement with native prolactin. Total number of binding sites for prolactin was 1.38 X 10(-15) mole per mg weight of tissue. Ovine prolactin, human growth hormone and human placental lactogen complete with 1251-prolactin and dose-response curves for these three hormones were all parallel. These results suggest the existence of a specific receptor site with high affinity for prolactin in lactating mouse mammary glands.  相似文献

The uptake of adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and stimulation of membrane-associated protein kinase in mature human erythrocytes were investigated. cAMP transport across the membrane was temperature dependent, and cAMP binding to the isolated membrane had less temperature dependence. More than 99% of the [3H]-cAMP taken up by erythrocytes was nonmembrane bound. Maximal stimulation of membrane protein kinase and maximal occupancy of membrane cAMP binding sites by extracellular cAMP cccurred at 30 degrees C within 30 min after initiation of the incubation of erythrocytes with cAMP. The concentration of extracellular cAMP that gave half-maximal stimulation of membrane protein kinase was 5.4 X 10-4 M, a value consistent with the concentrations of cAMP (5.2 X 10-4 M) found to occupy half-maximally the membrane cAMP binding sites in erythrocytes. Extracellular cAMP and to a lesser extent guanosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate and inosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate stimulated membrane protein kinase in erythrocytes. The cAMP uptake by human erythrocytes as well as cAMP binding to membranes in the erythrocyte was blocked by an inhibitor [4,4'-bis(isothiocyano)stilbene-2,2-disulfonate] of the anion channel. These studies indicate that cAMP can be transported across membranes into human erythrocytes and can bind to membranes to activate membrane protein kinase. It appears that there is a shared transport channel for cAMP and anion transport.  相似文献

Macrophages express a mannose-specific pinocytosis receptor that binds and internalizes lysosomal hydrolases. Treatment of rat bone marrow-derived macrophages with dexamethasone resulted in a concentration- and time-dependent increase in mannose-receptor activity. The dexamethasone effect was maximal at 24 h. Half-maximal effects were observed at a dexamethasone concentration of 2.5 X 10(-9) M. With 125I-beta-glucuronidase as ligand, a 2.5-fold increase in uptake rate was observed in dexamethasone-treated cells, with no change in Kuptake (2.5 X 10(-7) M beta-glucuronidase). Cell surface binding (4 degrees C) was elevated 2.6-fold following dexamethasone treatment. The increase in ligand binding appeared to be due to an increase in number of sites with no change in affinity. Cycloheximide suppressed the dexamethasone-mediated rise in receptor number, while cycloheximide alone had little effect on receptor activity over 16 h. These results suggest that dexamethasone stimulates synthesis of mannose receptors in macrophages. Extracellular accumulation of hexosaminidase was sharply reduced by dexamethasone treatment, and corresponded with the rise in mannose-receptor activity. Extracellular levels of hexosaminidase from untreated macrophages were modestly increased by the presence of mannan, while the extracellular activity from dexamethasone-treated cells was increased significantly by mannan. Extracellular hexosaminidase, released from zymosan-treated macrophages, was dramatically reduced by dexamethasone pretreatment. Enzyme released from zymosan-stimulated macrophages was efficiently endocytosed by dexamethasone-treated cells in co-culture experiments, and this endocytosis was blocked by the addition of mannan. These results suggest that the mannose receptor of macrophages may play a role in regulating extracellular levels of lysosomal enzymes via a secretion-recapture mechanism.  相似文献
