Steady state and kinetic studies on the binding of 125I-beta nerve growth factor (NGF) to single cells from sensory ganglia of 8-day-old chick embryos show two distinct, saturable binding sites with dissociation constants of Kd(I) = 2.3 X 10(-11) M and Kd(II) = 1.7 X 10(-9) M. The difference in the affinities is due to different rate constants of dissociation (k-1(I) = 10(-3) s-1, k-1(II) = 2 X 10(-1 s-1). The association to both sites is apparently diffusion controlled (k+1(I) = 4.8 X 10(7) M-1s-1, k+2(II) = 10(7) to 10(8) M-1s-1). The binding of betaNGF to both sites is specific, since none of a number of hormones or proteins tested compete for the binding of 125I-betaNGF to either of those two sites. The heterogeneity of the binding of 125I-betaNGF is not due to heterogeneity of the 125I-betaNGF preparation nor to a negatively cooperative binding. In experiments where the dissociation of 125I-betaNGF is induced by the addition of saturating amounts of unlabeled betaNGF, the ratio of the 125I-betaNGF released with either of the two dissociation rate constants is solely dependent on the occupancy of the two sites before dissociation is started and is independent of the total occupancy of the sites during dissociation. The rate of dissociation of 125I-betaNGF from the higher affinity binding site I is accelerated by unlabeled betaNGF under conditions where the occupancy is both increased and decreased. Although the dissociation characteristics of 125I-beta NGF change with increasing times of exposure of the cells to the ligand, and 125I-beta NGF is degraded after it binds to the cells, these secondary processes do not interfere with the analysis of the binding data. At the lowest concentration of 125I-beta NGF used for the analysis less than 10% of the 125I-beta NGF is degraded. Both kinetic and steady state binding data reveal the two NGF binding sites at 2 degrees C as well as at 37 degrees C.  相似文献

PC12 is a nerve growth factor (NGF) responsive cell line which exhibits two classes of NGF receptors distinguishable by different kinetic rate constants, sensitivity to trypsin and resistance to Triton detergent solubilization. Whereas incubation of PC12 cells with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) prior to addition of 125I-NGF inhibits binding of NGF to both classes of receptors, treatment with WGA subsequent to incubation with NGF does not inhibit NGF binding but causes the class of NGF receptors which exhibit rapid or "Fast" dissociation kinetics prior to lectin treatment to be converted to the form which exhibits "Slow" dissociation kinetics. This WGA-mediated receptor conversion is lectin specific, blocked by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, occurs at similar rates at 4 and 37 degrees C, and is not impaired by a metabolic poison. NGF receptors converted by WGA, like pre-existing Slow receptors, are resistant to trypsinization and remain associated to Triton X-100 extracted "cytoskeletons." Very similar results were obtained for NGF receptors on a human melanoma cell line A875. These results suggest that Fast and Slow receptors are two interconvertible forms of a single protein, rather than distinct proteins. The significance of the generality of these properties for NGF receptors from diverse species and cell types is discussed.  相似文献

The specific binding of [3H] (?)alprenolol to sites in frog erythrocyte membranes provides a tool for directly assessing ligand binding to adenylatecyclase coupled β-adrenergic receptors. Hill Plots of such binding data yield slopes (nH=“Hill Coefficients”) less than 1.0, suggesting that negatively cooperative interactions among the β-adrenergic receptors may occur. The existence of such negative cooperativity was confirmed by a direct kinetic method. The dissociation of receptor bound [3H] (?)alprenolol was studied under two conditions: 1) with dilution of the ligand-receptor complex sufficient to prevent rebinding of the dissociated tracer and 2) with this same dilution in the presence of excess unlabeled (?)alprenolol. If the sites are independent, the dissociation rates must be the same in both cases. However, the presence of (?)alprenolol increases the rate of [3H] (?)alprenolol dissociation, indicating that negatively cooperative interactions among the β-adrenergic receptor binding sites do occur.  相似文献

Relationship among types of nerve growth factor receptors on PC12 cells   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
We analyzed the kinetics and thermodynamics of 125I-nerve growth factor (125I-NGF) binding to NGF-receptor on PC12 cells. We used conditions of pseudo-first order kinetics and techniques to quantitate internalized complexes, "slow" or high affinity binding complexes, and cell surface "fast" or low affinity complexes. Two possible models were examined: binding to two independent receptors at the cell surface (i.e. high and low affinity forms of NGF-receptor) and a model for consecutive formation of fast, low affinity binding followed by slow, high affinity binding or internalization. Our data are consistent with the consecutive model only. The rates of association and dissociation of NGF with slow, high affinity sites and internalized, acid wash-resistant sites are indistinguishable from each other. We also analyzed, in detail, the two assays primarily used to distinguish slow binding complexes from internalized complexes. Scatchard analysis of total binding and dissociation of pre-equilibrated 125I-NGF in the presence of unlabeled NGF at high concentration (cold wash). Neither of these assays shows any evidence that the slow, high affinity binding step is different from internalization of the 125I-NGF-receptor complex. Based on this analysis, there are only two detectable forms of NGF-receptor on PC12 cells: complexes on the surface of the cells with a binding affinity of 0.5 nM at 37 degrees C and complexes internalized by the cells. Furthermore, the data are consistent with a model in which NGF-receptor is internalized constitutively and independently of occupancy by NGF. We also examined the fate of internalized 125I-NGF. In the first 60 min after contact with PC12 cells, no degradation of 125I-NGF was observed. Moreover, a significant amount of 125I-NGF recirculates to the cell surface and is released as intact, Mr = 13,000 NGF. The cells were also stimulated by NGF in a primary neurite outgrowth assay with an ED50 of 2-16 pM under conditions of low initial cell numbers in a large extracellular volume of NGF-containing medium. Thus, low level occupancy of the cell surface receptors, Kd = 0.5 nM, for several days is sufficient to stimulate neurite outgrowth. This indicates the presence of spare NGF-receptors on the surface PC12 cells.  相似文献

Pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells have been found to differ from dorsal root ganglionic cells with respect to the modulation of the beta nerve growth factor (beta NGF) binding properties elicited by alpha NGF and gamma NGF. In contrast to our previous results with intact dorsal root ganglionic cells in which only high-affinity binding was blocked, alpha NGF and gamma NGF were found to block competitively all steady-state binding of iodinated beta NGF to PC12 cells at both 37 and 0.5 degrees C. The EC50 that was found for the alpha NGF displacement was 9-10 microM, and the gamma NGF effect had an EC50 of 200 nM, in the predicted range based upon the apparent Kd for dissociation of the alpha beta or the beta gamma complex in solution. The concurrence of the binding EC50 and the Kd for each complex indicates that the formation of alpha beta or beta gamma complexes in solution competes with the process of PC12 receptor binding with 125I-beta NGF. Experiments were carried out examining the dissociation kinetics following the addition of excess unlabeled beta NGF or alpha NGF at both 37 and 0.5 degrees C. Three dissociation components were observed with alpha NGF, in contrast to the two normally found with beta NGF. Lowering the chase temperature to 0.5 degrees C changed the relative contributions made by each component without dramatically changing any of the rate constants. The "slow" receptor was further examined by the dependence on 125I-beta NGF concentration of the slowest component with a chase of either excess alpha NGF or excess gamma NGF at 0.5 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Molecular characteristics of nerve growth factor receptors on PC12 cells   总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23  
Cross-linking of 125I-nerve growth factor (NGF) to PC12 cells with the photoreactive heterobifunctional agent N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate results in the labeling of two major bands with Mr 158,000 and 100,000 and a minor band with Mr 225,000 as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing and reducing conditions. Binding of 125I-NGF to and cross-linking into all these species is abolished in the presence of excess unlabeled NGF but not in the presence of unlabeled epidermal growth factor, insulin, or bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. When PC12 cells with bound 125I-NGF are incubated in excess unlabeled NGF at 0 degree C prior to cross-linking, only the Mr 158,000 species remains. In addition, binding of 125I-NGF to the Mr 158,000 complex is trypsin-resistant, whereas binding to the Mr 100,000 complex is not. These experiments identify the Mr 158,000 species as the slow NGF-receptor complex (chase stable at 0 degree C) and the smaller Mr 100,000 species as the fast NGF-receptor complex (trypsin sensitive). Furthermore, 125I-NGF bound to the former but not to the latter species is displaced by very-low concentrations of NGF, showing that at least a significant fraction of the high-molecular-weight slow receptor is also a high-affinity receptor. This identification is supported by the finding that chick sensory neurons which possess both high- and low-affinity receptors exhibit two major labeled bands with Mr 145,000 and 105,000 as a result of cross-linking with 125I-NGF, whereas a cell population enriched in non-neuronal cells, which possess only low-affinity receptors, exhibits only the Mr 105,000 component. A shift in molecular weight of both species after pretreatment with neuraminidase indicates that both complexes contain sialoglycoproteins and rules out the possibility that differences in sialic acid content are responsible for the difference in molecular weight of the two complexes. The relative amount of the labeling of these two complexes is not affected by the presence of protease inhibitors nor by a variation of 5000-fold in cross-linker concentration. These results place some limits on possible models for the NGF receptors and their interconversion.  相似文献

Incubation of PC12 cells preloaded with 125I-nerve growth factor (NGF) reveals rapidly and slowly dissociating binding components indicative of a heterogeneous population of receptors. If the cells are previously exposed to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) for 30 min, NGF now binds to an apparently homogeneous receptor population which exhibit slow dissociation kinetics. Total binding is also reduced by 50%. If WGA is added subsequent to 125I-NGF, total binding is not diminished, but rapidly dissociating receptors occupied with NGF are all converted to the slowly dissociating form. This conversion of receptors occurs rapidly, reaching completion within 2 min at 37 degrees or 4 degrees C, and is unaffected by metabolic energy poisons, suggesting that WGA- induced slowly dissociating receptors are not the product of internalization. The effects of the lectin are blocked by the sugar N- acetyl-D-glucosamine, and the lectin-induced slowly dissociating receptors are converted back to rapidly dissociating receptors by addition of this same sugar. WGA also affects the association of the NGF receptor with the Triton X-100 cytoskeleton. Greater than 90% of bound 125I-NGF becomes associated with Triton X-100 insoluble cytoskeletons in the presence of the lectin, compared with less than 20% before lectin addition. Cytoskeleton association of the NGF receptor by WGA shows similar kinetics as the conversion of rapidly to slowly dissociating receptors. This interaction may be involved in the alteration of NGF-receptor binding properties produced by this lectin.  相似文献

IL-12 is a 75-kDa heterodimeric cytokine composed of disulfide-bonded 35-kDa and 40-kDa subunits. Included among the biologic activities mediated by IL-12 is induction of proliferation of PHA-activated human PBL. The concentration of IL-12 required to stimulate maximum proliferation of PHA-activated lymphoblasts is 50 to 100 pM. In this study, highly purified 125I-labeled IL-12 (7 to 15 microCi/microgram; 50 to 100% bioactive) was used to characterize the receptor for IL-12 on 4-day PHA-activated lymphoblasts. The binding of 125I-labeled IL-12 to PHA-activated lymphoblasts was saturable and specific because the binding of radiolabeled ligand was only inhibited by IL-12 and not by other cytokines. The kinetics of [125I]IL-12 binding to PHA-activated lymphoblasts was rapid at both 4 degrees C and 22 degrees C; reaching equilibrium within 60 min. At 22 degrees C, the rate of dissociation of [125I]IL-12 was slow in the absence of competing IL-12 (t1/2 = 5.9 h) and more rapid in the presence of 25 nM competing IL-12 (t1/2 = 2.5 h). The kinetically derived equilibrium dissociation constant ranged from 10 to 83 pM. Analysis of steady state binding data by the method of Scatchard identified a single binding site with an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant of 100 to 600 pM and 1000 to 9000 sites/lymphoblast. The equilibrium dissociation constant for competing ligands and sites per cell calculated from unlabeled IL-12 competition experiments ranged from 164 to 315 pM and 1067 to 3336, respectively, which is in good agreement with the values determined from steady state binding. The variations in KD and sites per cell were dependent on the individual preparations of lymphoblasts. Although the steady state binding data were consistent with a single class of high affinity binding sites, the kinetic dissociation data indicates a cooperative interaction between receptors on PHA-activated lymphoblasts. Affinity cross-linking of surface bound [125I]IL-12 to PHA-activated lymphoblasts at 4 degrees C identified a major complex of approximately 210 to 280 kDa. Anti-IL-12 antibodies also immunoprecipitated a complex of approximately 210 to 280 kDa that was produced by cross-linking unlabeled IL-12 to 125I-labeled lymphoblast cell-surface proteins. Cleavage of this complex with reducing agent identified one radiolabeled protein of approximately 110 kDa. These data suggest that the IL-12 binding site on PHA-activated lymphoblasts may be composed of a single protein of approximately 110 kDa.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Microsomal membranes from A875 human melanoma cells contain nerve growth factor receptors (NGF-receptors) which appear to belong to a single class with homogeneous binding properties, as determined by Scatchard plots. NGF-receptors in these membrane preparations are also uniformly highly sensitive to tryptic proteolysis, and 125I-NGF bound to NGF-receptor in these membranes is rapidly dissociated in the presence of a high concentration of unlabeled NGF. However, analysis of 125I-NGF dissociation kinetics indicated that two classes of NGF-receptor were present in these membranes. Thus, NGF-receptors can express either high or low affinity trypsin-sensitive states in addition to the high affinity trypsin resistant NGF-receptor state described previously (Buxser, S. E., Kelleher, D. J., Watson, L., Puma, P., and Johnson, G. L. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 3741-3749). The high affinity trypsin-sensitive and low affinity trypsin-sensitive states correlate with 200- and 90-kDa 125I-NGF X NGF-receptor complexes observed in photoaffinity cross-linking experiments. The absence of differences in peptide maps generated from the two sizes of NGF-receptor proteins together with structural and binding data strongly indicates that the 200-kDa NGF-receptor protein is a complex, probably a dimer, consisting of two 80-kDa NGF-receptor proteins associated with a single beta-NGF dimeric molecule. A model is proposed which relates structural states of NGF-receptors with specific receptor binding properties. The model provides an alternative explanation for binding phenomena previously attributed to negative cooperativity.  相似文献

PC12, an NGF responsive cell line, exhibits two classes of NGF receptors which we designate “Fast” and “Slow.” Fast receptors, accounting for 75% of specific NGF binding, are distinguished by their rapid rates for association and dissociation of 125I-NGF. At 37°C, binding of 125I-NGF to Fast receptors is 5-fold more rapid than to Slow receptors and dissociation of 125I-NGF from Fast receptors is 40-fold more rapid than from Slow receptors. No evidence was obtained for a ligand-induced conversion of receptors from Fast to Slow characteristics. Scatchard analysis of binding experiments indicates that PC12 cells possess 60,000 specific receptors for NGF of which 15,000 are of the Slow class. Despite having very different kinetic constants, Slow and Fast receptors have similar equilibrium binding constants (about 2 × 10?10 M) due to cancelling effects of differing association and dissociation rates. Brief digestion of PC12 cells with trypsin before addition of NGF inactivates essentially all Fast receptors without significantly affecting Slow receptors. Therefore Fast and Slow classes of receptors must exist prior to addition of NGF, and the observed receptor heterogeneity is not due to ligand-induced changes. 125I-NGF bound to Slow receptors is preferentially associated with preparations of Triton X-100 insoluble cytoskeletons, while 125I-NGF bound to Fast receptors is solubilized by this procedure. Cytoskeletally associated NGF is almost exclusively associated with the extranuclear cytoskeletal matrix rather than with the nucleus itself. Preparation of nuclei by various methods suggests that the presence of contaminating cytoskeletal elements should be considered in evaluating the existence of translocation and binding of NGF to the nucleus. Inhibition of endocytotic internalization of NGF either by lowering of temperature to O°C or by preincubation of cells with sodium azide in medium lacking glucose does not reduce the slowly released component of bound NGF, nor alter its cytoskeletal association. The possible functional roles of Slow and cytoskeletal receptors are discussed.  相似文献

Appearance of nerve growth factor receptors on cultured neural crest cells   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Light microscopic radioautography of differentiating quail neural crest cultures (1 to 2 weeks after explanation) incubated with Iodine-125-labeled nerve growth factor (125I-NGF) revealed that approximately 35% of the cells bound NGF. The binding was specific and saturable; it was blocked by an excess of nonradioactive NGF, and was not detected following incubation with biologically inactive 125I-NGF. In addition, the binding did not appear to be blocked or diminished by insulin. Cell cultures prepared from somites or notochord showed no specific binding of 125I-NGF. Melanocytes comprised approximately 10% of the cell population in these cultures and appeared to be unlabeled. The subpopulation of cells with NGF receptors that were morphologically similar to other non-melanocyte unlabeled cells present in the neural crest cultures are probably the targets of the factor during differentiation and development. In contrast, there was no evidence of 125I-NGF binding by premigratory neural crest (adherent to the isolated neural tube) or by early migratory neural crest cells (24 hr after explantation). Both of these types of neural crest cells are relatively undifferentiated. The cells of the neural tube were also unlabeled. The binding of 125I-NGF to differentiating neural crest cells was not noticeably diminished by a brief pretreatment with trypsin or Dispase, enzymes used in the isolation of neural tubes. Hence, the absence of NGF receptors on premigratory neural crest and early migratory neural crest cultures was not due to enzymatic alterations of the receptor. It seems, therefore, that receptors for NGF appear on neural crest cells during the time when these cells are acquiring their phenotypic characteristics.  相似文献

Both high and low affinity receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF) have been described, but only the former appear to mediate NGF actions and uptake. To specifically characterize the molecular identity of the high affinity site and to compare it with the low affinity site, the water-soluble carbodiimide EDC was used to cross-link 125I-NGF to NGF receptors on: rat PC12 cells, PC12nnr5 cells (PC12 mutants that have only low affinity NGF binding), SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells (which have only high affinity binding sites), and cultured rat sympathetic ganglion cells. A variety of criteria were used to distinguish the two classes of affinity-labeled receptors: competition with unlabeled NGF, dissociation rate, and selective solubilization by 0.1% Triton X-100. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that cross-linking generated only a single Mr approximately 103,000 125I-NGF affinity-labeled species which represents both the low and high affinity forms of the receptor. The 125I-NGF X receptor complexes formed with both affinity classes of the receptor were quantitatively immunoprecipitated by the monoclonal anti-NGF-receptor antibody 192-IgG and both showed identical shifts in mobility when subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. These findings indicate that both high and low affinity NGF receptors possess apparently identical NGF-binding moieties. The differences between the kinetic and functional properties of the two receptor types may therefore result from their interactions with other membrane components or with cytoplasmic proteins.  相似文献

Abstract

The observed rate of dissociation of radioactive estradiol from nuclear estrogen-receptor complexes from hen oviduct has been shown to depend to a large extent on the method used to initiate dissociation. The present study indicates that nuclear progesterone receptors display the same pattern of behavior. Dissociation kinetics of nuclear progesterone receptor extracted from hen oviducts were affected by the method of initiation of dissociation; the rate of dissociation at 25°C when dissociation was initiated with unlabeled steroid was three times that observed when dissociation was initiated by addition of a charcoal/dextran suspension. In contrast to nuclear receptors, both estrogen and progesterone receptors prepared from cytosol displayed only a single rate of dissociation, no matter what the method of initiation of dissociation. These results strengthen the idea that nuclear receptors contain a factor or subunit which may be removed by charcoal, which alters the rate of dissociation of steroid from the complex.  相似文献

The dissociation of insulin from its receptor is reportedly enhanced when the dissociation is induced by dilution in the presence of insulin. This experiment is frequently conducted when curvilinear Scatchard plots of insulin binding are observed in order to infer negative cooperative site-site interactions amongst insulin receptors. However, when insulin binding to purified liver plasma membranes was measured at 15 degrees C in 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5 containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin and 100 U/ml bacitracin, the insulin binding data was characterised by a linear Scatchard plot and a Hill plot with a slope equal to unity. Thus, under the conditions of this binding assay, insulin apparently bound to a single non-interacting class of homogeneous binding sites. But, despite the apparent absence of cooperative interactions under these specific conditions, the dissociation of receptor-bound insulin was still enhanced when the dissociation of insulin from its receptor was induced by dilution in the presence of insulin. This result cast serious doubt on the validity of inferring negative-cooperative site-site interactions amongst insulin receptors based solely on the observation that the dissociation of receptor-bound insulin is enhanced by dilution in the presence of insulin.  相似文献

The equilibrium binding, kinetics of ligand-receptor interactions, and biological activity of endothelin-1 and -2 have been studied in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Scatchard analyses of saturation binding data for ET-1 and -2, performed at 4 degrees C to prevent internalization of the occupied receptor, revealed similar affinity constants and numbers of binding sites for endothelin-1 and -2. Experiments designed to determine ligand-induced effects on 45Ca efflux demonstrated no qualitative or quantitative differences between the two endothelin isoforms. In contrast, kinetic studies resulted in different rates of dissociation for the two isoforms and different extents of dissociation. Specifically, only 40% of the bound [125I]endothelin-1 was dissociated at 4 h following the addition of excess unlabeled ligand, whereas 85-90% of the bound [125I]endothelin-2 was dissociated under the same conditions. Endothelin-1 and -2 also differed in the percent of specific cell-associated ligand bound after a 2 h incubation at 37 degrees C following an initial equilibration at 4 degrees C. The differences in dissociation rates and association or internalization rates at 37 degrees C are the first data that differentiate between the two isoforms. It is suggested that isoform-specific differences in the rate of dissociation from cell surface endothelin receptors influence the level of cell-associated endothelin and may be important in determining physiologic responses in vivo.  相似文献

Rat intestinal mucosal cells contain receptors for pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (PSP). The binding of 125I-PSP was rapid, saturable, reversible and specific. PSP competed with 125I-PSP for binding to the receptors and 10(-7) M of PSP half-maximally inhibited 125I-PSP binding. The normalized PSP dose-response graphs in intact cells and crude membranes were superimposable. Scatchard plots of PSP binding to membranes were curvilinear, indicating multiple classes of binding sites, negative cooperative interaction between sites or a combination of both. PSP increased the rate of dissociation of the 125I-PSP-receptor complex compared to the rate observed by dilution only, thus giving evidence that negative cooperative interaction may occur between PSP binding sites. The half-life of the fast dissociating complex was about 1.5 min and that of the slow dissociating complex 38 min. These values were independent of the receptor occupancy. The increased rate of dissociation at high receptor occupancy stemmed from a shift in the ratio of the pool sizes of fast and slow dissociating receptor complexes.  相似文献

This report demonstrates that 125I-recombinant human interferon-gamma (125I-rHuIFN-gamma) binds to high-affinity specific receptors on human platelets. Scatchard analysis of binding data indicates the presence of homogeneous sites estimated in the order of 150 to 200, with an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant, Kd, of 2 X 10(-10) M. The binding of 125I-rHuIFN-gamma to platelet membrane was inhibited by unlabeled rHuIFN-gamma but not by unlabeled rHuIFN-alpha or unlabeled rHuIFN-beta. High affinity binding sites for HuIFN-alpha were not detectable. Cross-linking of 125I-rHuIFN-gamma to platelet membrane proteins with the use of a bifunctional agent (DSS) yielded a predominant complex of 100,000 +/- 5,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE autoradiography, which confirms the presence of specific receptors for IFN-gamma. Two faint bands of lower m.w., 70,000 and 90,000, could also be visualized. Cross-linking of 125I-rHuIFN-alpha to platelet surface could not be demonstrated by using the same procedures. This is the first time that a receptor for a lymphokine (IFN-gamma) has been demonstrated on human platelets. These findings are consistent with data already published, suggesting an interrelationship between IFN and platelet function.  相似文献

Monensin has been shown to inhibit the dissociation of internalized asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) from galactosyl (Gal) receptors in hepatocytes (Harford et al., J. Cell. Biol., 96:1824, 1983). Examination of the long-term kinetics of dissociation of a single round of surface-bound 125I-ASOR in the presence of monensin revealed, however, that dissociation resumed after a lag of 30-40 min. Dissociation proceeded slowly with apparent first order kinetics (k = 0.006-0.022 min-1) and reached a plateau after 4 h, both in freshly isolated cells in suspension and in cells cultured for 24 h. Only a portion of the ligand bound to surface Gal receptors was capable of dissociating. The degree of dissociation was correlated with the expression of a subpopulation of receptors we have recently designated as state 1 Gal receptors (Weigel et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 140:43, 1986). The recovery and dissociation of a portion of 125I-ASOR-receptor complexes after the lag period is not due to a depletion of monensin, since a second addition of the drug has no affect once dissociation resumes. Furthermore, as assessed by the accumulation of the fluorescent dye acridine orange, cells have not recovered the ability to acidify intracellular compartments during the time that dissociation occurs. The results support a model for the hepatic Gal receptor system, in which there are two functionally different receptor populations, recycling pathways, and ligand processing pathways. Monensin blocks dissociation of 125I-ASOR from receptors in the major pathway completely. In the minor pathway dissociation proceeds to completion only after a lag. In this minor pathway monensin appears to temporarily delay a maturation or translocation process that must occur prior to dissociation. We conclude that the observed dissociation in the presence of monensin cannot be mediated by low pH, or by pH or pNa gradients.  相似文献

The binding characteristics of angiotensin II to isolated rat glomeruli were studied at various temperatures from 15 to 37 degrees C using 125I-labeled angiotensin II. The remarkable features of the binding at 37 degrees C, compared with those at lower temperatures, were (1) decreased maximal binding due to increased dissociation rate, (2) short duration of the steady state, which was, however, sufficient for performing steady-state binding assays, and (3) marked curvilinear Scatchard plots with upward concavity. The difference between the dissociation rates caused by dilution only and by dilution plus cold angiotensin II increased with increase in temperature. From these results, we conclude that the site-site interactions of a negatively cooperative type, which are negligible at lower temperatures, exist among rat glomerular angiotensin II receptors at the physiological temperature, and that the binding study may as well be performed at 37 degrees C for the purpose of investigating quantitative correlation between the hormone binding and its biological effect.  相似文献

We have developed a system for extending stopped-flow analysis to the kinetics of ligand capture and release by cell surface receptors in living cells. While most mammalian cell lines cannot survive the shear forces associated with turbulent, stopped-flow mixing, we determined that 32D cells, murine hematopoietic precursor cells, can survive rapid mixing, even at the high flow rates necessary to achieve dwell times as short as 10 msec. In addition, 32D cells do not express any member of the ErbB family of receptors, providing a null background for studying this receptor family. We have established a series of stable, monoclonal 32D-derived cell lines that express the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, ErbB2, or a combination of both at different ratios. Using these cell lines and a homogeneous fluorescent derivative of H22Y-mEGF modified with fluorescein at the amino terminus (F-EGF), we have measured association and dissociation of F-EGF with its receptor. Association was measured by following the time-dependent changes in fluorescence anisotropy after rapidly mixing cells at various cell densities with F-EGF at 1-15nM. Dissociation was measured both by chase experiments in which unlabeled EGF was mixed with cells pre-equilibrated with F-EGF or by dilution of cells equilibrated with F-EGF. Comparison of these dissociation experiments demonstrated that little or no ligand-induced dissociation occurs in the chase dissociation experiments. For each cell line, data from a series of association experiments and dilution dissociation experiments were subjected to global analysis using a two independent receptor-class model. Our analysis is consistent with the presence of two distinct receptor populations, even in cells bearing only the EGF receptor. Increasing the relative expression of ErbB2 leads to an increase in the fraction of high affinity class receptors observed, without altering the total number of EGF binding sites.  相似文献
