Formyl peptide chemotactic receptors affinity-labeled with N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-[125I]iodo-Tyr-Lys (where Nle represents norleucine) and ethylene glycol bis(succinimidyl succinate) consist of two isoelectric forms with cell type differences in both apparent size and charge (neutrophils: 55-70 kDa, pI 5.8, and 6.2.; monocytes: 60-75 kDa, pI 5.6 and 6.0; differentiated HL-60 cells: 62-85 kDa, pI 5.6 and 6.0). Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F (endo F) cleavage of N-linked oligosaccharides from formyl peptide receptor generates 40-50- and 33-kDa products that can be affinity-labeled. Whereas both pI forms of this receptor from neutrophils are cleaved by endo F to 33-kDa final products, this cleavage does not eliminate pI differences. Tunicamycin decreases expression of formyl peptide receptor on differentiating HL-60 and causes a dose-dependent decrease in size of the major product seen after affinity labeling (0.5 micrograms/ml: 38-48 kDa; 2 micrograms/ml: 32 kDa). Thus, the formyl peptide receptor polypeptide backbone from all three cell types contains at least two N-linked oligosaccharide side chains which contribute to the cell type differences in Mr and are not required for ligand binding. Papain treatment of intact cells generates a membrane-bound formyl peptide receptor fragment that can be affinity-labeled and is of similar size (29-31 kDa) in all three cell types. Endo F treatment of the affinity-labeled papain fragment of formyl peptide receptor does not alter its size, suggesting that this fragment does not contain the N-linked oligosaccharide cleaved by endo F from intact receptor. The results indicate that at least two N-linked oligosaccharide chains are located on the distal 1-3-kDa portion of the receptor polypeptide backbone.  相似文献

The bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptor was solubilized from Swiss mouse 3T3 cell membranes in an active form and was purified about 90,000-fold to near homogeneity by a combination of wheat germ agglutinin-agarose and ligand affinity chromatography. The purified receptor displayed a single diffuse band with a Mr of 75,000-100,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After treatment of the receptor with N-glycanase, removing N-linked oligosaccharide moieties, the protein yielded a Mr = 38,000 band. These results agree with the Mr value estimated for the GRP receptor that was labeled on Swiss 3T3 cells by cross-linking to 125I-GRP1-27. GRP1-27 bound to the purified receptor with a Kd of 0.038 +/- 0.019 nM. By comparison, the soluble receptor in unfractionated extracts and intact membranes displayed a Kd for GRP1-27 of 0.036 +/- 0.003 nM and 0.13 +/- 0.04 nM, respectively. The relative potencies of a series of GRP analogs for the soluble receptor and intact membranes indicated that the extraction procedure did not significantly alter the receptor's ligand binding specificity. However coupling of the receptor to its guanyl nucleotide regulatory protein was not maintained in the soluble extract, and a G-protein did not co-purify with the receptor. Physiological concentrations of NaCl greatly inhibited the binding of some GRP analogs to the receptor, while the binding of other analogs was not affected. A domain on the GRP molecule involving Lys-13 or Arg-17 was identified which promoted binding to the GRP receptor under conditions of low ionic strength. These findings aided the development of an effective ligand affinity resin for the purification of the GRP receptor.  相似文献

The biosynthesis and oligosaccharide structure of the human complement regulatory glycoprotein decay-accelerating factor (DAF) were studied in erythrocytes and cell lines. Initial information relative to carbohydrate moieties of DAF was obtained by enzymatic digestions. The 74,000 Mr erythrocyte DAF was lowered 3000 by endoglycosidase F, whereas endoglycosidase H had no effect, indicating one N-linked complex-type unit. Treatment with endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase to remove O-linked oligosaccharides resulted in a 48,000 Mr molecule (67% of the Mr shift being due to sialic acid), which decreased to 45,000 Mr after sequential endoglycosidase F treatment. To additionally define the oligosaccharide structure and identify precursors in biosynthetic pathways, DAF was studied in the HL-60 cell line differentiated by vitamin D toward monocytes. Pulse-chase experiments with [35S]methionine revealed a precursor species of 43,000 Mr that underwent an early post-translational modification to a 46,000 Mr intermediate, and subsequently was chased into a mature species of 80,000 Mr that aligned with 125I surface-labeled DAF from these cells. All three forms of DAF were approximately 3000 lower in Mr in the presence of tunicamycin. The two lower Mr DAF species were sensitive to endoglycosidases F and H but not to neuraminidase or endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. In summary, DAF is synthesized as a 43,000 Mr precursor species containing one N-linked high-mannose unit. Before entering the central region of the Golgi, it is converted to a 46,000 Mr species by an as yet unknown post-translational modification. The 46,000 Mr form is converted to the 74,000 Mr (erythrocyte) or 80,000 Mr (leukocyte) membrane form of DAF by the addition of multiple, sialylated O-linked oligosaccharide chains (responsible for the large electrophoretic mobility shift) and conversion of the single N-linked high-mannose unit to a complex-type structure. The cell-specific Mr variation between red and white blood cells arises during this post-translational modification from the 46,000 Mr biosynthetic intermediate to the mature DAF species expressed on the cell surface.  相似文献

Recombinant human single-chain urokinase (rscu-PA), two-chain urokinase (tcu-PA), and diisopropyl-fluorophosphate-treated tcu-PA (DFP-tcu-PA) bound to cultured human and porcine endothelial cells in a rapid, saturable, dose-dependent and reversible manner. Analysis of specific binding results in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) gave the following estimated values for Kd and Bmax: 0.57 +/- 0.08 nM (mean +/- S.E.) and 188,000 +/- 18,000 sites/cell for 125I-labeled rscu-PA; 0.54 +/- 0.10 nM and 132,000 +/- 23,900 sites/cells for 125I-labeled tcu-PA; 0.89 +/- 0.14 nM and 143,000 +/- 30,300 sites/cell for 125I-labeled DFP-tcu-PA, respectively. Values for Kd were similar for primary and subcultured (six passages) HUVECs, but Bmax values were lower in subcultured HUVECs. Similar Kd values were found in cultured porcine endothelial cells; however, Bmax values varied depending on the endothelial cell type. All 125I-labeled urokinase forms yielded similar cross-linked approximately 110-kDa ligand-receptor complexes with cultured HUVECs, and 125I-labeled DFP-tcu-PA bound to a single major approximately 55-kDa protein in whole-cell lysates (ligand blotting/autoradiography), suggesting the presence of a single major approximately 55-kDa urokinase receptor in cultured HUVECs. The approximately 55-kDa urokinase receptor, isolated from several separate batches of cultured HUVECs (3-5 micrograms of protein, approximately 1 x 10(9) cells), by ligand affinity chromatography, exhibited the following properties: retained biologic activity as evidenced by its ability to bind 125I-labeled rscu-PA by ligand blotting/autoradiography and formation of a cross-linked 125I-labeled approximately 110-kDa rscu-PA-receptor complex; single-chain approximately 55-kDa protein, following reduction; complete conversion to and formation of a single major deglycosylated approximately 35-kDa protein, following treatment with N-glycanase.  相似文献

Cell surface binding sites for the constituent proteins of the fibrinolytic system may play a role in the localization and regulation of fibrinolysis. In the present study, specific binding of recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) to human blood platelets was identified and characterized. 125I-labeled rt-PA was found to bind specifically, saturably, and reversibly to the surface of gel-filtered platelets, reaching equilibrium within 5 min at 22 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of binding sites. Unstimulated platelets bound 120,000 +/- 24,000 (mean +/- S.D.) molecules/platelet with an apparent Kd of 340 +/- 25 nM, whereas thrombin-stimulated platelets bound 290,000 +/- 32,000 molecules/platelet with an apparent Kd of 800 +/- 60 nM. Binding of 0.1 microM 125I-rt-PA was greater than 90% reversible by a 50-fold excess of unlabeled rt-PA. Binding was not inhibited by fibrinogen or single chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator, but plasminogen partially competed for binding of 125I-rt-PA to platelets (up to 40% displacement). These findings indicate that the platelet surface possesses a large number of specific, low affinity binding sites for t-PA and provide further evidence for the role of platelets in localization and regulation of fibrinolysis.  相似文献

Retinal pigment epithelial cells selectively phagocytize rod outer segments by a process that may be mediated by specific cell surface receptors. Since many receptors are glycoproteins, we have studied the effect of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked oligosaccharide synthesis, and of castanospermine and swainsonine, which are inhibitors of oligosaccharide processing, on the ability of cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells to phagocytize rod outer segment. Tunicamycin inhibits the glycosylation of newly synthesized glycoproteins by 85-90%; concomitantly, the phagocytosis of rod outer segments is inhibited by 70-80%. The effect of tunicamycin is to initially reduce rod outer segments binding, and therefore the subsequent ingestion of rod outer segments. SDS-PAGE analysis and autoradiography of [35S]methionine labelled extracts of tunicamycin-treated cells, demonstrates the disappearance of a number of glycoprotein bands, and the appearance of a number of protein bands of lower Mr. Kinetic analysis of the disappearance and reappearance of specific glycoproteins suggests that the lower Mr bands are the non-glycosylated forms of the higher Mr bands. By contrast, castanospermine and swainsonine have no effect on the ability of retinal pigment epithelial cells to phagocytize rod outer segments, or on the SDS-PAGE pattern of treated cells, although they were shown to inhibit oligosaccharide processing as expected. These results support the hypothesis that rod outer segment phagocytosis by retinal pigment epithelial cells is mediated by specific glycoprotein receptors. N-Glycosylation of these receptors is required for their function, or for their insertion into the plasma membrane, whereas processing of the N-linked oligosaccharide chains of these receptors is not crucial for rod outer segment phagocytosis by retinal pigment epithelial cells.  相似文献

The interleukin 5 receptor (IL-5R) on murine eosinophils and a mouse B cell line (B13) was investigated using iodinated murine IL-5 produced in the baculovirus system. Electrophoretic analysis of this recombinant protein identified a range of bands Mr 26,000 to 32,000 resulting from differential glycosylation. The specific activity and binding kinetics of the iodinated IL-5 (125I-IL-5) were essentially identical to unlabeled material. Both high-affinity (Kd approximately 50 pM) and low-affinity (Kd approximately 1 nM) receptor populations were identified on murine eosinophils. Approximately 50 high-affinity receptors and 10,000 low-affinity receptors were present. This was compared with approximately 2,000 high-affinity (Kd approximately 80 pM) and about 8,000 low-affinity (Kd approximately 3 nM) sites on B13 cells. An antibody that inhibits IL-5 binding to, and proliferation of, B13 cells (R52.120) was also shown to inhibit eosinophil proliferation, suggesting that eosinophils and B cells bear the equivalent IL-5 binding proteins.  相似文献

High affinity receptors for angiotensin II have been identified on purified cardiac sarcolemmal membranes. Equilibrium binding studies were performed with 125I-labeled angiotensin II and purified sarcolemmal vesicles from calf ventricle. The curvilinear Scatchard plots were evaluated by nonlinear regression analysis using a two-site model which identified a high affinity site Kd1 = 1.08 +/- 0.3 nM and N1 = 52 +/- 10 fmol/mg of protein and a low affinity site Kd2 = 52 +/- 16 nM and N2 = 988 +/- 170 fmol/mg of protein. Monovalent and divalent cations inhibited the binding of 125I-angiotensin II by 50%. The affinity of angiotensin II analogs for the receptor was determined using competitive binding assays; sarcosine, leucine-angiotensin II (Sar,Leu-angiotensin II), Kd = 0.53 nM; angiotensin II, Kd = 2.5 nM; des-aspartic acid-angiotensin II, Kd = 4.81 nM; angiotensin I, Kd = 77.6 nM. There is a positive correlation between potency in inducing positive inotropic response in myocardial preparations reported by others and potency for the hormone receptor observed in the binding assays. Pseudo-Hill plots of the binding data showed that agonists display biphasic binding with Hill numbers around 0.65 while antagonists recognized a single class of high affinity receptors with Hill numbers close to unity. These data were confirmed using 125I-Sar,Leu-angiotensin II in equilibrium binding studies which showed that this antagonist bound to a single class of receptor sites; Kd = 0.42 +/- 0.04 nM and N = 1050 +/- 110 fmol/mg of protein. Competition-binding experiments with this 125I-peptide yielded monophasic curves with Hill numbers close to unity for both agonists and antagonists. Membrane-bound 125I-angiotensin II was covalently linked to its receptor by the use of bifunctional cross-linking reagents such as dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) and bis[2-(succinimidooxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]sulfone. Analysis of the membranes showed the labeling of a component with an apparent Mr = 116,000. The affinity labeled species showed characteristics expected of a functional component of the high affinity receptor. The affinity labeling of this membrane component was inhibited by nanomolar angiotensin II or Sar,Leu-angiotensin II. Together these data indicate that high affinity receptors exist for angiotensin II that most likely mediate the positive inotropic effects of this hormone on myocardial cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

The binding of 125I-insulin-like growth factor-I (125I-IGF-I) to bovine chromaffin cells was measured. Chromaffin cell cultures contained 111,000 +/- 40,000 IGF-I binding sites/cell. These sites bound IGF-I with a KD of 1.1 +/- 0.3 nM and had a much lower affinity for insulin. Cross-linking studies showed that 125I-IGF-I bound to a protein that had an Mr of approximately 125,000, similar to the Mr of the alpha subunit of the IGF-I receptor in other tissues. Cells cultured with IGF-I (10 nM) for 4 days exhibited an almost twofold increase in high K+-evoked catecholamine secretion. Insulin was much less potent than IGF-I in enhancing catecholamine secretion. These data indicate that binding of IGF-I to its receptors on chromaffin cells can modulate the function of these cells.  相似文献

The receptor for human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was isolated from a subclone of the human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937. These cells exhibit a single class of high affinity receptors (Kd = 0.51 +/- 0.25 nM) with an average density of 55,000 +/- 5,000 binding sites/cell. After solubilization with detergent, the receptor retained its ability to bind free TNF-alpha but failed to bind to TNF-alpha immobilized on various solid supports. For receptor purification, 125I-TNF-alpha was covalently attached to the receptor on intact cells by the bifunctional cross-linking reagents ethylene glycolbis(succinimidylsuccinate) or 3,3-dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidylpropionate). The cells were then solubilized with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, and the supernatants, clarified by centrifugation, were passed over an IgG-Sepharose column prepared from TNF-alpha antiserum. The receptor-rich fraction from the antibody column was further purified by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These two steps together provided approximately 165,000-fold purification of the TNF-alpha receptor. The TNF-alpha receptor-ligand complex obtained by this method had a subunit molecular weight of 100,000 +/- 5,000 when examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis but on gel filtration the complex migrated with an apparent molecular weight of 480,000 +/- 32,000. However, the receptor showed a molecular weight of 65,000 +/- 32,000 when gel filtration was performed in the absence of ligand. Additional characteristics of the receptor are discussed.  相似文献

A method was developed to label epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors with 125I-EGF in whole cells using chemical cross-linking reagents. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolved an Mr approximately 180,000 EGF-receptor complex and larger Mr greater than or equal to 360,000 aggregates. The formation of the larger complexes was time and temperature dependent and appeared to represent the initial events of EGF receptor clustering. Alteration of the ratio of 125I-EGF-labeled high- (Kd approximately 0.16 nM) and low- (Kd approximately 1.5 nM) affinity complexes by competition with unlabeled EGF or by induction of additional high-affinity sites with dexamethasone suggested that both sites were represented by the Mr approximately 180,000 125I-EGF-receptor complexes. Digestion of cells before cross-linking detected a small population of trypsin-resistant Mr approximately 180,000 receptors, which could represent previously described cryptic and/or high-affinity receptors. Few of the Mr approximately 360,000 receptors were trypsin resistant. Glucocorticoid induction of high-affinity EGF receptors failed to induce detectable changes in the microclustering of EGF receptors but did result in a 50% increase in EGF-induced receptor phosphorylation in HeLa S3 cell membranes at 4 degrees C. Thus, glucocorticoids increase high-affinity EGF binding sites, EGF-induced receptor phosphorylation, and cell growth.  相似文献

The effects of N-linked glycosylation on the activation and secretion of lipoprotein lipase were studied in Ob17 cells. The cells were first depleted of any activity and enzyme content by cycloheximide treatment and of precursors of oligosaccharide chains by tunicamycin. The repletion of lipoprotein lipase content was studied in these cells maintained in the presence of tunicamycin after cycloheximide removal. During the repletion phase, the EC50 values of inhibition by tunicamycin (approx. 0.2 microgram/ml) of the incorporation of labeled glucose, mannose or galactose into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material were found to be identical. Under these conditions, the rate of protein synthesis was maximally decreased by 30%. The results showed clearly that the recovery in lipoprotein lipase activity was parallel to the recovery in hexose incorporation, no activity being recovered in the absence of glycosylation. An inactive form of lipoprotein lipase from tunicamycin-treated cells was detected by competition experiments with mature active lipoprotein lipase for the binding to immobilized antilipoprotein lipase antibodies, as well as by immunofluorescence staining. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blots of cellular extracts and of extracellular media, obtained after tunicamycin-treated cells were exposed to heparin, revealed a single immunodetectable Mr 52 000 protein, whereas a single Mr 57 000 protein was detected in control cells. Therefore, the results indicate that the acquisition by lipoprotein lipase of a catalytically active conformation is linked directly or indirectly to glycosylation. Despite this lack of activation, the lipoprotein lipase molecule was able to migrate intracellularily and to undergo secretion after heparin stimulation of the tunicamycin-treated cells.  相似文献

Using mono[125I]iodinated vasoactive intestinal peptide (125I-VIP), a very high number of specific binding sites for VIP were identified at the surface of the human melanoma cell line IGR39. The Scatchard analysis of competitive displacement experiments between native VIP and 125I-VIP was consistent with the existence of two classes of VIP-binding sites. IGR39 cells possess 0.54 x 10(6) high-affinity sites with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.66 nM and 1.3 x 10(6) sites of moderate affinity with a Kd of 4.7 nM. Pharmacological studies indicated that the order of potency in inhibiting 125I-VIP binding of the VIP/secretin family peptides was VIP much greater than peptide histidine methioninamide greater than human growth-hormone-releasing factor(1-44) greater than secretin. Glucagon has no effect on the binding of the labelled peptide. By means of photoaffinity labelling a polypeptide of Mr 63,000 was characterized. The labelling of this species was completely abolished by native VIP. The order of potency of VIP-related peptides in inhibiting 125I-VIP cross-linking to its receptor was the same as in the competition experiments. The glycoprotein nature of the VIP-binding sites of IGR39 cells has been investigated by affinity chromatography on wheat-germ-agglutinin-Sepharose.  相似文献

An expression plasmid encoding the human 75-kDa tumor necrosis factor (TNF) type 2 receptor (TNF-R2) was constructed and used to generate a stable human cell line (293/TNF-R2) overexpressing TNF-R2. Ligand binding analysis revealed high affinity binding (Kd = 0.2 nM) with approximately 94,000 +/- 7,500 sites/cell for 125I-TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for TNF-beta (Kd = 1.1 nM) with 264,000 +/- 2,000 sites/cell. Cross-linking of 125I-TNF-alpha and 125I-TNF-beta to 293/TNF-R2 cells yielded predominant complexes with apparent molecular weights of 211,000 for TNF-alpha and 205,000 and 244,000 for TNF-beta, suggesting these complexes contain two or three TNF-R2 molecules. Immunoprecipitation of TNF-R2 from 32P-labeled 293/TNF-R2 cells demonstrated that the receptor is phosphorylated. The majority (97%) of 32Pi incorporation was found in serine residues with a very low level of incorporation (3%) in threonine residues. TNF-alpha treatment of 293/TNF-R2 cells did not significantly affect the degree or pattern of phosphorylation. Cell surface-bound 125I-TNF-alpha was slowly internalized by the 293/TNF-R2 cell line with a t1/2 = 25 min. Shedding of the extracellular domain of TNF-R2 was induced by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but not by TNF-alpha or TNF-beta.  相似文献

Adenosine transporters in freshly isolated and cultured chromaffin cells were quantified by the [3H]dipyridamole binding technique, showing a maximal bound capacity of 0.4 +/- 0.05 pmol/10(6) cells (240,000 +/- 20,000 transporters by cell). Scatchard analysis showed a similar affinity for [3H]dipyridamole in isolated cells and subcellular fractions (Kd = 5 +/- 0.6 nM). For enriched plasma membrane preparations and chromaffin granule membranes, the maximal binding capacities were also very similar, 2.3 +/- 0.3 and 1.8 +/- 0.4 pmol/mg protein, respectively. When [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine was employed as a radioligand, the maximal bound capacity in cultured chromaffin cells was 0.053 +/- 0.004 pmol/10(6) cells (32,000 +/- 3000 transporters per cell) with a high affinity constant (Kd = 0.25 +/- 0.03 nM); similar values were obtained in all subcellular fractions (Kd = 0.1 +/- 0.01). Also, plasma and chromaffin granule membranes showed similar maximal binding values (0.4 +/- 0.06 pmol/mg protein). Photoincorporation studies with [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine into plasma membrane polypeptides showed the presence of three molecular species of 115 +/- 10; 58 +/- 6 and 42 +/- 5 kDa. Chromaffin granule membranes showed only the 105 +/- 9 and 51 +/- 4 molecular species.  相似文献

Biogenesis of glycophorin A in K562 human erythroleukemia cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A monoclonal antibody (mAb-233) directed against an epitope in the nonglycosylated carboxyl-terminal region of human erythrocyte glycophorin A (GPA) was used in combination with metabolic labeling, the modification of N- and O-linked oligosaccharide processing by tunicamycin and monensin, and digestions with neuraminidase and O-glycanase to elucidate the pathway of GPA biogenesis in K562 human erythroleukemia cells. Cell-surface GPA is derived from two obligatory precursors in a stepwise manner. The initial GPA precursor has a Mr of 27,000 and appears to contain one N-linked high mannose oligosaccharide chain. In tunicamycin-treated cells, the initial precursor is similar in size (Mr = 24,000) to deglycosylated GPA from human erythrocytes. The 27-kDa initial precursor is rapidly converted to a transient 31-kDa intermediate by the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine residues to serine/threonine hydroxyl groups. Subsequent maturation involves the conversion of the high mannose chain to a complex-type oligosaccharide and the concomitant addition of galactose and sialic acid to internal N-acetylgalactosamine residues to extend the O-linked chains. These results define a single, stepwise processing pathway for the generation of all cell-surface GPA molecules and document for the first time the occurrence of both a unique initial precursor that contains a high mannose N-linked oligosaccharide chain but no O-linked sugars and a transient intermediate that appears to contain the same N-linked group and N-acetylgalactosamine at multiple serine/threonine residues. The properties of the intracellular GPA precursors and the relatively simple nature of the processing pathway reported herein contrast markedly with the characteristics of three intermediates and the complexity of two independent pathways in previously postulated schemes for GPA biogenesis (Gahmberg, C. G., Jokinen, M., Karhi, K. K., Kampe, O., Peterson, P. A., and Andersson, L. C. (1983) Methods Enzymol. 96, 281-298; Jokinen, M., Andersson, L. C., and Gahmberg, C. G. (1985) J. Biol.

Receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have been characterized in rat lymphoid cells. The interaction of [125I] VIP with blood mononuclear cells was rapid, reversible, specific and saturable. At apparent equilibrium, the binding of [125I] VIP was competitively inhibited by native VIP in the 0.01-100 nM range concentration. The binding data were compatible with the existence of two classes of receptors: a high-affinity class with a Kd = 0.050 +/- 0.009 nM and a low binding capacity (2.60 +/- 0.28 fmol/10(6) cells), and a low-affinity class with a Kd = 142 +/- 80 nM and a high binding capacity (1966 +/- 330 fmol/10(6) cells). Secretin, glucagon, insulin and somatostatin did not show any effect at a concentration as high as 100 nM. With spleen lymphoid cells, stoichiometric studies were performed. The binding data were compatible with the existence of two classes of receptors: a high-affinity class with a Kd = 0.100 +/- 0.033 nM and a low binding capacity (4.60 +/- 1.07 fmol/10(6) cells), and low-affinity class with a Kd = 255 +/- 110 nM and high binding capacity (2915 +/- 1160 fmol/10(6) cells). With thymocytes, no binding was obtained under different conditions.  相似文献

To clarify the existence and the distribution of endothelin (ET) receptor subtypes, we have examined the pharmacological properties and the molecular weight (Mr) of 125I-ET-1 and 125I-ET-3 binding sites in various tissues of pigs. ET-1 and ET-2 showed almost identical potencies in displacing the bound 125I-ET-1 in all the tissues examined. ET-3, sarafotoxin S6b (SRT-b) and sarafotoxin S6c (SRT-c) displaced the 125I-ET-1 with the same sensitivity as ET-1 (IC50 = 0.1-1.4 nM) in brain, kidney, liver and adrenal, whereas the three peptides showed very weak competition (IC50 = 40-500 nM) against 125I-ET-1 binding in cardiac atria, aorta, lung, stomach and uterus. The computer analyses of the binding data suggested the presence of high (Kd1 = 0.04-0.29 nM) and low (Kd2 = 60-190 nM) affinity binding sites for ET-3 and SRT-b in lung and stomach. 125I-ET-3 bound to the high affinity sites in lung and stomach was displaced by ET/SRT isopeptides almost equipotently. Two proteins with Mr of 47,000 and 35,000 were affinity-labeled with 125I-ET-1 in cerebellum, while a protein with Mr of 123,000, in addition to the two proteins, was predominantly labeled in lung. The above findings indicated that two distinct subclasses of ET receptors, namely, ET-1-specific and ET/SRT family-common receptors were distributed in various proportions in mammalian tissues, and suggested that their molecular forms are also different.  相似文献

Pituitary-adenylate-cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a novel 38-amino-acid neuropeptide isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues based on its activity of stimulating adenylate cyclase of rat pituitary cells. Binding sites for PACAP were studied in rat tissue membranes using a 27-amino-acid N-terminal derivative of PACAP [PACAP(1-27)] labelled with 125I. Particularly high specific binding sites of 125I-PACAP(1-27) were noted in the hypothalamus, brain stem, cerebellum and lung. Specific binding sites are also present in the pituitary gland, but at a lower concentration, and mainly in the anterior lobe. Very low concentration of 125I-PACAP(1-27)-binding sites were found in the colon, aorta and kidney membranes and no binding sites were detected in the pancreas and testis. Maximal binding of 125I-PACAP(1-27) was observed at pH 7.4. Interaction of 125I-PACAP(1-27) with its binding site was rapid, specific and saturable as well as time, pH and temperature dependent. PACAP(1-27) is more potent than PACAP in displacing the binding of 125I-PACAP(1-27) with brain membranes [concentration that inhibits 50% of the binding (IC50) = 7.45 +/- 1.52 nM and 11.45 +/- 3.65 nM, respectively; mean +/- SEM, n = 4] and lung membranes (IC50 = 4.41 +/- 0.87 nM and 10.68 +/- 3.09 nM, respectively). Vasoactive intestinal peptide displaced the binding of 125I-PACAP(1-27) in lung membrane (IC50 = 16.88 +/- 5.14 nM) but not in brain membranes. The equilibrium binding of 125I-PACAP(1-27) at 4 degrees C was characterized by a single class of binding site for the brain membrane with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.46 +/- 0.53 nM and a maximal binding capacity (Bmax) of 8.44 +/- 3.13 pmol/mg protein, but there were two classes of binding site for lung membranes with Kd of 1.02 +/- 0.51 nM and 5.19 +/- 0.99 nM, and Bmax of 2.84 +/- 0.72 pmol/mg protein and 9.13 +/- 1.89 pmol/mg protein, respectively. These findings suggest that subtypes of PACAP-binding sites exist and PACAP may have a physiological role in the hypothalamus/pituitary axis as well as in other regions of the brain and lung.  相似文献

Recent observations support an active role for the vascular endothelial cell in the induction and evolution of the inflammatory response. Since prior studies suggested that cultured bovine endothelial cells express high affinity binding sites for the neutrophil chemotactic oligopeptide formyl methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-Met-Leu-Phe), we sought to further characterize the interaction between formyl peptide chemoattractants and human vascular endothelial cells. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and peripheral blood neutrophils specifically bound f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe, whereas specific binding to cultured fibroblasts, smooth muscle, and epithelial cells was negligible. Endothelial cells expressed 3.6 +/- 0.7 X 10(5) binding sites/cell with a Kd of 210 +/- 31 nM. Although the hexapeptide formyl norleucyl-leucyl-phenylalanyl-norleucyl-tyrosyl-lysine (f-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys) and the tetrapeptide f-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys completed with f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe for binding to endothelial cells, specific binding of 125I-f-Nl-Leu-Phe-Tyr-Lys or f-Met-Leu-Phe-Lys-fluorescein to endothelial cells was not observed, suggesting that steric constraints on formyl peptide binding differ between endothelial cells and leukocytes. At 37 degrees C, cell-associated f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe greatly exceeded that bound at 0 degrees C and was incorporated predominantly into a nondisplaceable compartment. Release of f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe or radioactive breakdown products from this compartment was time- and temperature-dependent with a t1/2 of approximately equal to 20 min at 37 degrees C. Resolution of the radioactive products released from f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe-loaded endothelial cells by thin layer chromatography indicated that greater than or equal to 57% of the released material co-migrated with intact f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe. Degradative release was blocked by agents that interfere with lysosomal acidification. The radioactive material released from f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe-loaded endothelial cells bound specifically to neutrophils. This binding was inhibited 50.2 +/- 6.4% by a greater than or equal to 10(3)-fold excess of nonradioactive f-Met-Leu-Phe whereas binding of authentic f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe was inhibited 89.4 +/- 3.0%. Supernatant obtained from f-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe-loaded endothelial cells elicited a rise in neutrophil cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) measured by quin2 fluorescence. The change in neutrophil [Ca2+]i depended on ligand binding to the neutrophil formyl peptide receptor since endothelial supernatants were devoid of activity in the presence of the f-Met-Leu-Phe antagonist, tert-butoxycarbonyl-Phe-Leu-Phe-Leu-Phe.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献
