Role of Individual Domains and Identification of Internal Gap in Human Guanylate Binding Protein-1

Unlike other GTPases, interferon-gamma-induced human guanylate binding protein-1 has the ability to hydrolyze GTP to both GDP and GMP, with GMP being the major product of the reaction. This protein has two domains, an N-terminal globular domain and a C-terminal helical domain. These two domains are connected by a short intermediate region consisting of a two-stranded β-sheet and a helix. As human guanylate binding protein-1 has been shown to undergo stimulated GTPase activity without external GTPase-activating protein, we sought to understand the roles of each of the two individual domains, the intermediate region, a conserved motif (¹⁰³DXEKGD¹⁰⁸), and the mechanism of the stimulation of GTPase activity. The steady-state assays using radiolabeled [α-³²P]GTP on the wild-type protein suggest that the stimulation of activity primarily occurs during the cleavage of the second phosphate of GTP rather than the first, through allosteric interaction. Using several truncated and mutant proteins, we demonstrate for the first time that both the α-helix of the intermediate region and the ¹⁰³DXEKGD¹⁰⁸ motif play critical roles for the hydrolysis to GMP, but they appear to act in different ways: α-helix acts through structural stabilization by allosteric interaction and, thus, acts as an internal GTPase-activating protein, whereas the motif might act by providing necessary catalytic residues. Our data also show that the N-terminal globular domain is able to perform only the first catalysis (GTP to GDP, an activity associated with basal level), but the helical domain in the full-length protein stimulates the hydrolysis of GTP to GMP with higher GMP formation by preventing the dissociation of GDP-bound enzyme dimer.

Activator Protein-1 Binding Activities in Discrete Regions of Rat Brain After Acute and Chronic Administration of Methamphetamine

Abstract: The activator protein-1 (AP-1) binding activities increased in three brain regions (striatum, nucleus accumbens, and cingulate cortex) after a single methamphetamine (METH) injection to rats. Pretreatment with SCH 23390, but not (−)-eticlopride, significantly inhibited the enhanced AP-1 binding activities induced by acute METH administration. The magnitude of enhancement of AP-1 binding activities 3 h after the last dose of chronic METH administration (4 mg/kg once daily for 14 days) was significantly attenuated as compared with those 3 h after a single METH administration. The AP-1 binding activities after a 1-, but not 4-, week abstinence from chronic administration of METH were still significantly higher than those of the saline-treated controls. A METH challenge after a 4-week abstinence period induced significantly lower AP-1 binding activities in rats chronically injected with METH than in rats chronically injected with saline. The supershift assay revealed that the levels of Jun family protein, but not Fos-related antigen, increased significantly in the striatum and nucleus accumbens of chronically METH-treated rats after a 1-week abstinence. These results suggest that chronic METH administration leads to delayed decay of the induced AP-1 binding activities and Jun component levels after abstinence for up to 1 week but results in no change in or decreases these activities and attenuates METH challenge-induced AP-1 binding activities after abstinence for 4 weeks.     

Antiviral Effect of Interferon-Induced Guanylate Binding Protein-1 against Coxsackie Virus and Hepatitis B Virus B3 in Vitro

Guanylate binding protein-1(GBP-1) is an interferon-induced protein. To observe its antiviral effect against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3), we constructed an eukaryotic expression vector of human GBP-1(hGBP-1). Full-length encoding sequence of hGBP-1 was amplified by long chain RT-PCR and inserted into a pCR2.1 vector, then subcloned into a pCDNA3.1(-) vector. Recombinant hGBP-1 plasmids and pHBV1.3 carrying 1.3-fold genome of HBV were contransfected into HepG2 cells, and inhibition effect of hGBP-1 against HBV replication was observed. Hela cells transfected with recombinant hGBP-1 plasmids were challenged with CVB3, and viral yield in cultures were detected. The results indicated that recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid of hGBP-1 was constructed successfully and the hGBP-1 gene carried in this plasmid could be efficiently expressed in HepG2 cells and Hela cells. hGBP-1 inhibit CVB3 but not HBV replication in vitro. These results demonstrate that hGBP-1 mediates an antiviral effect against CVB3 but not HBV and perhaps plays an important role in the interferon-mediated antiviral response against CVB3.

A rational approach for the development of reduced-size analogues of neuropeptide Y with high affinity to the Y1 receptor

Four sets of centrally truncated analogues of neuropeptide Y have been synthesized. In each series the N-terminal part was constant, while the C-terminal segment was systematically varied in length. The C- and N-terminal parts were linked by 6-aminohexanoic acid. The affinity to the Y₁ receptor was investigated on human neuroblastoma cells SK-N-MC. Significant differences were found between the series of peptides as well as within each set. Remarkably, the affinity did not solely depend on the length of the segment, and with increasing numbers of residues the IC₅₀ values were not always decreased. With a given N-terminal segment, only one optimal length of the C-terminal segment was found, which suggests that it is not the amino acids themselves but their 3D arrangement and orientation that is important for high receptor affinity.
