Evidence for depolarization-induced activation of G-proteins in membranes of rat brain synaptoneurosomes has been previously reported (Cohen-Armon, M., and Sokolovsky, M. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 2595-2605; Cohen-Armon, M., and Sokolovsky, M. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 9824-9838). In the present work we identify the activated G-proteins as Go-proteins by tracing their depolarization-induced in situ photoaffinity labeling with [alpha32P]GTP-azidoanilide (GTPAA). Labeled GTPAA was introduced into transiently permeabilized rat brain-stem synaptoneurosomes. The resealed synaptoneurosomes, while being UV-irradiated, were depolarized. Relative to synaptoneurosomes at resting potential, the covalent binding of [alpha32P]GTPAA to Galphao1- and Galphao3-proteins, but not to Galphao2- isoforms, was enhanced by 5- to 7-fold in depolarized synaptoneurosomes, thereby implying an accelerated exchange of GDP for [alpha32P]GTPAA. Their depolarization-induced photoaffinity labeling was independent of stimulation of Go-protein-coupled receptors and could be reversed by membrane repolarization, thus excluding induction by transmitters release. It was, however, dependent on depolarization-induced activation of the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC), regardless of Na+ current. The alpha subunit of VGSC was cross-linked and co-immunoprecipitated with Galphao-proteins in depolarized brain-stem and cortical synaptoneurosomes. VGSC alpha subunit most efficiently cross-linked with guanosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate-bound rather than to guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)-bound Galphao-proteins in isolated synaptoneurosomal membranes. These findings support a possible involvement of VGSC in depolarization-induced activation of Go-proteins. 相似文献

Receptor-regulated binding of the labeled GTP analog, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTP[S]), to guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) was studied in porcine atrial membranes enriched in muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptors. Binding of [35S]GTP[S] to the membranes was not or only slightly affected by the cholinergic agonist, carbachol, unless a second nucleotide was simultaneously present in the binding assay. This additional nucleotide requirement was best fulfilled by GDP, being maximally effective at 0.1-1 microM. In contrast, the GDP analog, guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), could not replace GDP in promoting carbachol-induced increase in [35S]GTP[S] binding. In addition to GDP, agonist-induced stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] binding to porcine atrial membranes required the presence of Mg2+, being half-maximally and maximally effective at about 30 microM and 300 microM, respectively. Addition of NaCl, which decreased control binding measured in the presence of GDP alone, had no effect on the maximal extent of agonist-stimulated binding, but reduced the potency of carbachol in stimulating [35S]GTP[S] binding. Under optimal conditions, carbachol increased the binding of [35S]GTP[S] without apparent lag phase up to about 2.5-fold, with half-maximal and maximal increase being observed at 5-10 microM and 100 microM, respectively. The agonist-induced stimulation was competitively antagonized by the mACh receptor antagonist, atropine. The number of GTP[S] binding sites under receptor control was two--three-fold higher than the number of mACh receptors in the porcine atrial membranes used. Pretreatment of the membranes with pertussis toxin under conditions leading to 95% ADP-ribosylation of the toxin-sensitive G-protein alpha-subunits markedly reduced agonist-stimulated [35S]GTP[S] binding, with, however, about 30% stimulation still remaining. The data presented indicate that agonist-stimulated binding of [35S]GTP[S] to G-proteins can be a sensitive assay for measuring receptor-regulated G-protein activation in native membranes and, furthermore, suggest that one agonist-activated mACh receptor can activate two or three cardiac G-proteins, being mainly members of the pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins. 相似文献

Binding of GTP and its analogue, guanosine 5′-O-[γ-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) to G-proteins, and release of GTP[S] from G-proteins are stimulated by muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptors in intact cardiac membranes. Upon solubilization of receptors and G-proteins by membrane extraction with the detergent, 3-[(cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonate, followed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, agonist-liganded mACh receptors stimulated binding of GTP[S] and hydrolysis of GTP by G-proteins with similar requirements as in intact membranes. One soluble agonist-activated mACh receptor induced binding of GTP[S] to several (about seven) soluble G-proteins. In contrast to intact membranes, however, agonist activation of mACh receptors did not induce release of GTP[S] from solubilized G-proteins. The data presented indicate that mACh receptors can interact with and efficiently activate G-proteins even in solution, whereas the possible interaction of receptors with GTP[S]-liganded G-proteins observed in intact membranes is lost upon solubilization of these components. 相似文献

G-protein mediates voltage regulation of agonist binding to muscarinic receptors: effects on receptor-Na+ channel interaction 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Our previous experiments in membranes prepared from rat heart and brain led us to suggest that the binding of agonists to the muscarinic receptors and to the Na+ channels is a coupled event mediated by guanine nucleotide binding protein(s) [G-protein(s)]. These in vitro findings prompted us to employ synaptoneurosomes from brain stem tissue to examine (i) the binding properties of [3H]acetylcholine at resting potential and under depolarization conditions in the absence and presence of pertussis toxin; (ii) the binding of [3H]batrachotoxin to Na+ channel(s) in the presence of the muscarinic agonists; and (iii) muscarinically induced 22Na+ uptake in the presence and absence of tetrodotoxin, which blocks Na+ channels. Our findings indicate that agonist binding to muscarinic receptors is voltage dependent, that this process is mediated by G-protein(s), and that muscarinic agonists induce opening of Na+ channels. The latter process persists even after pertussis toxin treatment, indicating that it is not likely to be mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein(s). The system with its three interacting components--receptor, G-protein, and Na+ channel--is such that at resting potential the muscarinic receptor induces opening of Na+ channels; this property may provide a possible physiological mechanism for the depolarization stimulus necessary for autoexcitation or repetitive firing in heart or brain tissues. 相似文献

The effect of short-term cholinergic desensitization on muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR)-mediated activation of phospholipase C was investigated in membranes isolated from the bovine iris sphincter smooth muscle. Membranes prepared from normal or desensitized muscles, prelabeled with either [3H]myo-inositol or 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP, were incubated with a hydrolysis-resistant analogue of GTP, GTP gamma S, or GTP gamma S plus carbachol (CCh), and the production of [3H]myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and the breakdown of polyphosphoinositides were assessed. In normal membranes, GTP (greater than or equal to 1 mM), GTP gamma S (greater than 10 microM) and GTP gamma S (1 microM) plus CCh (10 microM), but not GDP or GDP beta S, increased phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and IP3 production. GTP gamma S increased IP3 accumulation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and CCh, which had no effect on phospholipase C activity in the absence of GTP gamma S, potentiated the effects of GTP gamma S. The effect of CCh plus GTP gamma S on IP3 production was inhibited by atropine, had an absolute requirement for nM amounts of Ca2+ and was not affected by pertussis toxin. At higher concentrations (greater than 1 microM), Ca2+ alone induced PIP2 hydrolysis. Short-term exposure (less than 60 min) of the muscle to CCh (100 microM) did not affect the total number (Bmax) of mAChRs nor their affinity (KD) for [3H]-N-methylscopolamine. Desensitization did, however, result in: (1) a loss of the CCh-high affinity binding state of the sphincter mAChRs in a manner analogous to that produced by GTP gamma S; (2) a loss of the ability of GTP gamma S to affect CCh binding to the receptors; and (3) an attenuation of the GTP gamma S plus CCh-stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis. In conclusion, the data presented suggest that, in the iris smooth muscle, G-proteins are involved in the coupling of mAChRs to phospholipase C and that short-term cholinergic desensitization results in (1) the uncoupling of the receptor-G-protein complex and (2) the attenuation of mAChR-activation of phospholipase C. 相似文献

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors purified from porcine brain were reconstituted with two kinds of GTP-binding proteins (Gi and Go). The binding of agonists was affected by guanine nucleotides when the receptor was reconstituted with either Gi or Go, but not in the absence of one of the GTP-binding proteins. The displacement curves with agonists for the [3H]quinuclidinyl benzylate [( 3H]QNB) binding were explained by assuming there are two sites with different affinities for a given agonist. The proportion of the high affinity site increased with increasing concentrations of the GTP-binding proteins, and the maximum value represented 50-70% of the total [3H]QNB-binding sites. Reconstitution of the receptor with both Gi and Go did not increase the proportion any further. These results indicate that Gi and Go interact with the same site, which rules out the possibility that there are two kinds of muscarinic receptors, one interacting with Gi and the other with Go. GDP as well as GTP decreased the affinity for the agonists of the muscarinic receptors reconstituted with Gi or Go. The conversion of GDP to GTP during the incubation was less than 1%, indicating that the effect of GDP is not due to its conversion to GTP, and that the binding of either GTP or GDP with the GTP-binding proteins suppresses their interaction with the receptor. 相似文献

Some atypical muscarinic drugs were compared with classical drugs with respect to inhibition of specific binding of [3H]pirenzepine ([3H]PZ) and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) to membrane preparations of rat brain. The interactions of the agonists McN-A343 and carbachol with [3H]QNB at muscarinic sites in brain stem preparations were differently modulated in the presence of an excess of PZ. Moreover, McN-A343 exhibited a preferential affinity for [3H]PZ sites in whole brain membranes whereas carbachol bound with high affinity to [3H]QNB sites in brain stem preparations. Various muscarinic agonists and antagonists displayed different affinity patterns in the [3H]PZ and [3H]QNB binding. These data are indicative of two populations of pharmacologically distinguishable binding sites and support the concept of muscarinic receptor heterogeneity in rat brain. 相似文献

Cannabinoid receptors belong to the class of G-protein-coupled receptors which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Coupling of receptors to G-proteins can be assessed by the ability of agonists to stimulate guanosine-5′-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate ([35S]GTPγS) binding in the presence of excess GDP. The present study examined the effect of cannabinoid agonists on [35S]GTPγS binding in rat brain membranes. Assays were conducted with 0.05 nM [35S]GTPγS, incubated with rat cerebellar membranes, 1–30 μM GDP and the cannabinoid agonist WIN 55212-2. Results showed that the ability of WIN 55212-2 to stimulate [35S]GTPγS binding increased with increasing concentrations of GDP, with 10–30 μM GDP providing approximately 150–200% stimulation by the cannabinoid agonist. The pharmacology of cannabinoid agonist stimulation of [35S]GTPγS binding paralleled that of previously reported receptor binding and adenylyl cyclase assays, and agonist stimulation of [35S]GTPγS binding was blocked by the cannabinoid antagonist SR141716A. Brain regional studies revealed widespread stimulation of [35S]GTPγS binding by WIN 55212-2 in a number of brain areas, consistent with in vitro [35S]GTPγS autoradiography. These results demonstrate that [35S]GTPγS binding in the presence of excess GDP is an effective measure of cannabinoid receptor coupling to G-proteins in brain membranes. 相似文献

A DNA encoding the human alpha 2-C10 adrenergic receptor was transfected into Rat 1 fibroblasts and clones selected on the basis of resistance to G418 sulfate. Two clones, one of which (1C) expressed some 3.5 pmol/mg membrane protein of the receptor as assessed by the specific binding of [3H]yohimbine and one (4D) which did not express detectable amounts of the receptor were selected for further study. When cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation was performed with [32P]NAD on membranes of these cells in the absence of added guanine nucleotides, radioactivity was incorporated into a polypeptide(s) of 40 kDa in addition to the 45- and 42-kDa forms of Gs alpha. Addition of the selective alpha 2 receptor agonist U.K.14304 enhanced markedly, in a dose-dependent manner, the cholera toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s), but not the 45- or 42-kDa polypeptides, in membranes of the 1C cells. Dose response curves for U.K.14304 enhancement of cholera toxin-labeling of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) and stimulation of high affinity GTPase activity were identical. By contrast, U.K.14304 was ineffective in either assay in membranes from the 4D cells, demonstrating this effect to be dependent upon receptor activation. Furthermore, the alpha 2 receptor antagonist yohimbine blocked all effects of U.K.14304. The agonist promotion of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi was completely blocked by guanine nucleotides. Whether GDP or GDP + fluoroaluminate (as a mimic of GTP) was used, blockade of the agonist effect was complete and indeed both conditions prevented agonist-independent labeling by cholera toxin of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s). Mg2+ produced an agonist-independent cholera toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) but even in the presence of [Mg2+], agonist-stimulation of cholera toxin-labeling of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) was observed and was additive with the effect of [Mg2+]. Agonist stimulation of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi was completely attenuated by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, which prevents contact between receptors and G-proteins which are substrates for this toxin. By contrast, pretreatment of the cells with concentrations of cholera toxin able to "down-regulate" essentially all of the membrane-associated Gs alpha did not prevent agonist stimulation of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The influence of beta-casomorphin-5 on the beta-adrenoceptor complex in guinea pig heart membranes was studied by means of binding studies, G-protein investigations and isolated heart preparations. In nanomolar concentrations beta-CM-5 induced an increase in receptor affinity towards the agonist isoproterenol whereas the antagonist affinity was reduced. The isoproterenol-stimulated increase in cardiac contractility, moreover, is reduced by 10 nM beta-CM-5. Furthermore, beta-CM-5 was found to inhibit the isoproterenol-induced GDP/GTP exchange as well as the [35S]GTP[S] binding to guinea pig heart membranes, indicating an involvement of G-proteins. These findings suggest that low concentrations of beta-CM-5 modulate the functional properties of the myocardial beta-adrenoceptor-G-protein complex, presumably resulting in its desensitization. The observed effects of beta-CM-5 are not prevented by naloxone and, therefore, are nonopioid in nature. 相似文献

Regulation of the solubilized bovine cerebral cortex muscarinic receptor by GTP and Na+ 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was solubilized, in a sensitive form for GTP and Na+, from bovine cerebral cortex using a zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate. The solubilized muscarinic receptor displayed characteristics as follows: (1) high affinity to nanomolar concentration of Z-[3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate; (2) muscarinic agonists and antagonists had similar inhibitory potencies as on the membrane-bound receptor; (3) without Na+, GTP did not significantly alter the binding affinity of muscarinic agonists and antagonists; (4) GTP in the presence of Na+, selectively decreased the affinity of muscarinic agonists, carbamylcholine and oxotremoline, but not the antagonist binding affinity; (5) Na+ in the absence or presence of GTP, reduced both muscarinic agonist and antagonist affinities. 相似文献

Evidence for receptor-mediated inhibition of intrinsic activity of GTP-binding protein, Gi1 and Gi2, but not G0 in reconstitution experiments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The receptor-mediated inhibition of intrinsic activities of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) was studied. Pertussis toxin (IAP)-substrate G-protein, Gi1, Gi2 or G0, was prelabeled with [alpha-32P]GDP and reconstituted with synaptic membranes of the guinea pig cerebellum in the presence of 0.02% of Chaps. Intrinsic activities of G-proteins were evaluated by the release of [alpha-32P]GDP in exchange for added GppNHp or GDP in reconstituted preparations. U-50,488H (1 nM-10 microM), a specific kappa-subtype of opioid receptor agonist, inhibited the [alpha-32P]GDP release in exchange for added 1 microM GppNHp in Gi1-reconstituted preparations in a concentration-dependent manner. On the other hand, the kappa-opioid agonist at 10 microM increases the Km values of GppNHp, but not GDP in exchange for [alpha-32P]GDP release in preparations reconstituted with Gi1 or Gi2, but not with G0. These findings indicate that kappa-opioid receptor is coupled to inhibition of intrinsic activities of Gi1 and Gi2, but not G0, in guinea pig cerebellar membranes. In addition, it was revealed that the mode of action is mediated by a decrease in affinity of GTP (or its analog) for G proteins, but not by a change in affinity of GDP. 相似文献

Signal-transducing guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) are heterotrimers, composed of the nucleotide-binding alpha subunit and a beta gamma dimer. The influence of beta gamma dimer preparations of the retinal G protein transducin (TD) was studied on formylpeptide-receptor--G-protein interactions in membranes of differentiated HL 60 cells. For this, TD was prepared from bovine rod outer segment (ROS) membranes with either GTP or its analogs, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imino]triphosphate (Gpp[NH]p). After removal of free nucleotides, TD beta gamma was separated from TD alpha and its function analyzed. Addition of TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with GTP[S] (TD beta gamma GTP[S]) to HL 60 membranes abolished high-affinity binding of fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine) to its receptor. In contrast, TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with GTP (TD beta gamma GTP), boiled TD beta gamma GTP[S] and TD alpha prepared with GTP[S] had no or only slight effects. The inhibitory effect of TD beta gamma GTP[S] on fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe receptor binding was potentiated by GDP at low concentrations but not by GTP[S]. Furthermore, TD beta gamma GTP[S], but not TD beta gamma GTP or TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with Gpp[NH]p (TD beta gamma Gpp[NH]p), prevented fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated binding of [35S]GTP[S] to G proteins in HL 60 membranes, measured in the presence of GDP. When TD beta gamma GTP was incubated with GTP [S] and TD-depleted illuminated ROS membranes, and subsequently separated from the membranes and free GTP[S], this TD beta gamma GTP, similar to TD beta gamma GTP[S], abolished high-affinity binding of fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe to its receptor, fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated binding of [35S]GTP[S], and fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated GTP hydrolysis in HL 60 membranes. Inhibition of [35S]GTP[S] binding by TD beta gamma was not seen in the presence of the metabolically stable GDP analog, guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. In order to obtain an insight into the modification of TD beta gamma apparently caused by GTP[S], and into its mechanism of action in HL 60 membranes, TD, TD alpha and TD beta gamma, all prepared in the presence of GTP, were incubated with [35S]GTP[S] and TD-depleted illuminated ROS membranes. Fluorographic analysis of the supernatant proteins revealed 35S labelling of the beta band of the G protein. When apparently thiophosphorylated TD beta gamma was incubated with [3H]GDP in the presence of HL 60 membranes, [3H]GTP[S] was rapidly formed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Potassium-induced depolarization of synaptoneurosomes prepared from rat telencephalon was found to increase [3H]amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate ([3H]AMPA) binding to the AMPA receptor. The effect required the presence of calcium because it was blocked by the calcium chelator EGTA but was not blocked by an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, aminophosphonopentanoate. The depolarization-induced increase in [3H]AMPA binding was markedly reduced by a blocker of voltage-dependent calcium channels, verapamil. Saturation kinetic experiments revealed that the increase in [3H]AMPA binding produced by potassium depolarization was due to an increase in the affinity of the AMPA receptor. These results provide additional support for a critical role of calcium in the regulation of the AMPA receptors. The synaptoneurosome preparation might represent an interesting tool to determine the role of different calcium-dependent enzymes involved in the regulation of the AMPA receptor. 相似文献

TRH receptors have been solubilized from GH4C1 cells using the plant glycoside digitonin. Solubilized receptors retain the principal binding characteristics exhibited by the TRH receptor in intact pituitary cells and their membranes. The binding of the methylhistidyl derivative of TRH [( 3H]MeTRH) attained equilibrium within 2-3 h at 4 C, and it was reversible, dissociating with a t1/2 of 7 h. Analysis of [3H]MeTRH binding to soluble receptors at 4 C yielded a dissociation constant (Kd) of 3.8 nM and a total binding capacity (Bmax) of 3.9 pmol/mg protein. Peptides known to interact with non-TRH receptors on GH cells failed to interfere with the binding of [3H]MeTRH, indicating that the TRH binding was specific. Chlordiazepoxide, a competitive antagonist for TRH action in GH cells, inhibited TRH binding to soluble receptors with an IC50 of 11 microM. When [3H]MeTRH was bound to membranes and the membrane proteins were then solubilized, we found enhanced dissociation of the prebound [3H]MeTRH from its solubilized receptor by guanyl nucleotides. Maximal enhancement of [3H]MeTRH dissociation by 10 microM GTP gamma S occurred within about 45 min at 22 C. GTP gamma S, GTP, GDP beta S, and GDP were all effectors of [3H]MeTRH dissociation, exhibiting EC50s in the range of 14-450 nM. The rank order of potency of the tested nucleotides was GTP gamma S greater than GTP congruent to GDP beta S greater than GDP much greater than ATP gamma S greater than GMP. We conclude that TRH receptors have been solubilized from GH cells with digitonin and retain the binding characteristics of TRH receptors in intact pituitary cells. Furthermore, prebinding [3H]MeTRH to GH4C1 cell membranes results in the solubilization of a complex in which the TRH receptor is linked functionally to a GTP binding protein. 相似文献

ADP-ribosylation by Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme increases steady-state GTPase activities of recombinant rhoA and rhoB proteins. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
ADP-ribosylation of recombinant rhoA and rhoB proteins by Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme increased steady-state GTP hydrolysis by 50 to 80%. ADP-ribosylation and increase in GTP hydrolysis occurred at similar concentrations of C3, depended on the presence of NAD and were prevented by anti-C3 antibody or heat inactivation of C3. In contrast, GTP hydrolysis by Ile-41 rhoA or Ha-ras, which are no substrates for the transferase, were not affected by C3. ADP-ribosylation facilitated the [3H]GDP release and subsequently, the binding of [3H]GTP to rhoA. The data indicate that the increase in the steady-state GTPase activity by ADP-ribosylation is caused by increasing the rate of GDP release which is suggested to be the rate limiting step of the GTPase cycle of the small GTP-binding proteins. 相似文献

Cultured pituitary cells prelabeled with myo-[2-3H] inositol were permeabilized by ATP4-, exposed to guanine nucleotides and resealed by Mg2+. Addition of guanosine 5'-0-(3-thio triphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to permeabilized cells, or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) to resealed cells, resulted in enhanced phospholipase C activity as determined by [3H] inositol phosphate (Ins-P) production. The effect was not additive, but the combined effect was partially inhibited by guanosine 5'-0-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) or by neomycin. Surprisingly, addition of GDP beta S (100-600 microM) on its own resulted in a dose-related increase in [3H]Ins-P accumulation. Several nucleoside triphosphates stimulated phospholipase C activity in permeabilized pituitary cells with the following order: UTP greater than GTP gamma S greater than ATP greater than CTP. The stimulatory effect of UTP, ATP and CTP, but not GTP gamma S or GDP beta S, could also be demonstrated in normal pituitary cells suggesting a receptor-activated mechanism. GTP and GTP gamma S decreased the affinity of GnRH binding to pituitary membranes and stimulated LH secretion in permeabilized cells. These results suggest the existence of at least two G-proteins (stimulatory and inhibitory) which are involved in phospholipase C activation and GnRH action in pituitary cells. 相似文献

The effect of nucleotides on binding of the B2 kinin (BK) receptor agonist [3H]BK and the antagonist [3H]NPC17731 to particulate fractions of human foreskin fibroblasts was studied. At 0 degrees C, particulate fractions exhibited a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 2.3 nM for [3H]BK and a Kd of 3.8 nM for the antagonist [3H]NPC17731. Incubation with radioligands at 37 degrees C for 5 min gave a reduction of agonist, as well as antagonist, binding that was between 0-40% depending on the preparation, even in the absence of guanosine nucleotides. As shown by Scatchard analysis, this reduction in specific binding was due to a shift in the affinity of at least a fraction of the receptors. The presence at 37 degrees C of the guanine nucleotides GTP, GDP and their poorly hydrolyzable analogs left [3H]NPC17731 binding unaffected, but reduced the receptor affinity for [3H]BK to a Kd of about 15 nM. The maximal number of receptors, however, was unchanged. This affinity change was strongly dependent on the presence of bivalent cations, in particular Mg2+. It was reversed by incubation at 0 degrees C. The rank order of the guanosine nucleotides for [3H]BK binding reduction was GTP[gammaS] = Gpp[NH]p > GTP = GDP > GDP[betaS]. GMP, ATP, ADP and AMP showed no influence on agonist binding. A model for the interaction of the B2 kinin receptor with G proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Multiple GTP-binding proteins in sea urchin sperm: Evidence for Gs and small G-proteins 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Sea urchin sperm plasma membranes isolated from heads and flagella were used to examine the presence of Gs (stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein) and small G-proteins. Flagellar plasma membranes incubated with [32 P]NAD and cholera toxin (CTX) displayed radiolabeling in a protein of 48 kDa, which was reactive by immunoblotting with a specific antibody against mammalian Gs. CTX-catalyzed [32 P]ADP-ribosylation in conjunction with immunoprecipitation with anti-Gs, followed by electrophoresis and autoradiography, revealed one band of 48 kDa. Head plasma membranes, in contrast, did not show substrates for ADP-ribosylation by CTX. In flagellar and head plasma membranes pertussis toxin (PTX) ADP-ribosylated the same protein described previously in membranes from whole sperm; the extent of ADP-ribosylation by PTX was higher in flagellar than in head membranes. Small G-proteins were investigated by [32 P]GTP-blotting. Both head and flagellar plasma membranes showed three radiolabeled bands of 28, 25 and 24 kDa. Unlabeled GTP and GDP, but not other nucleotides, interfered with the [α-32 P]GTP-binding in a concentration-dependent manner. A monoclonal antibody against human Ras p21 recognized a single protein of 21 kDa only in flagellar membranes. Thus, sea urchin sperm contain a membrane protein that shares characteristics with mammalian Gs and four small G-proteins, including Ras . Gs, Gi and Ras are enriched in flagellar membranes while the other small G-proteins do not display a preferential distribution along the sea urchin sperm plasma membrane. The role of these G-proteins in sea urchin sperm is presently under investigation. 相似文献

Muscarinic agonists and adenyl nucleotides are noncompetitive modulators of sites labeled by [35S]GTP gamma S in washed cardiac membranes from Syrian golden hamsters. Specific binding of the radioligand and its inhibition by either GTP gamma S or GDP reveals three states of affinity for guanyl nucleotides. In the absence of adenyl nucleotide, carbachol promotes an apparent interconversion of sites from higher to lower affinity for GDP; the effect recalls that of guanyl nucleotides on the binding of agonists to muscarinic receptors. In the presence of 0.1 mM ATP gamma S, the binding of [35S]GTP gamma S is increased at concentrations up to about 50 nM and decreased at higher concentrations. At a radioligand concentration of 160 pM, binding exhibits a bell-shaped dependence on the concentration of both ATP gamma S and AMP-PNP; with ADP and ATP, there is a second increase in bound [35S]GTP gamma S at the highest concentrations of adenyl nucleotide. ATP gamma S and AMP-PNP also modulate the effect of GDP, which itself emerges as a cooperative process: that is, binding of the radioligand in the presence of AMP-PNP exhibits a bell-shaped dependence on the concentration of GDP; moreover, the GDP-dependent increase in bound [35S]GTP gamma S is enhanced by carbachol. The interactions among GDP, GTP gamma S, and carbachol can be rationalized quantitatively in terms of a cooperative model involving two sites tentatively identified as G proteins. Both GTP gamma S and GDP exhibit negative homotropic cooperativity; carbachol enhances the homotropic cooperativity of GDP and induces or enhances positive heterotropic cooperativity between GDP and [35S]GTP gamma S. An analogous mechanism may underlie the guanyl nucleotide-dependent binding of agonists to muscarinic receptors. The data suggest that the binding properties of G proteins and their associated receptors reflect cooperative effects within heterooligomeric arrays; agonist-induced changes in cooperativity may facilitate the exchange of GTP for bound GDP and thereby constitute the mechanism of G protein activation in vivo. 相似文献
