Antisera were raised in rabbits against the alpha subunit of a GTP-binding protein, Go. Because the antisera cross-reacted weakly with the alpha subunit of inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Gi), they were purified with a Go alpha-coupled Sepharose column. Purified antibodies reacted only with Go alpha and did not cross-react with the Gi alpha subunit or beta gamma subunits in an immunoblot assay. Using these purified antibodies, a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay method for the quantification of bovine brain Go alpha was developed. The assay system consisted of polystyrene balls with immobilized antibody F(ab')2 fragments and the same antibody Fab' fragments labeled with beta-D-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The minimal detection limit of the assay was 0.1 fmol, or 4 pg. The assay was specific for Go alpha, and it did not cross-react with Gi alpha or beta gamma. Samples from various regions of bovine brain were solubilized with 2% sodium cholate and 1 M NaCl, and the concentrations of Go alpha were determined. Go alpha was detected in all the regions, and the highest concentration was observed in the cerebral cortex. The immunohistochemical study showed that the neuropil was rich in Go alpha.  相似文献

Antisera were raised in rabbits against the 40-kDa alpha subunit of bovine lung GTP-binding protein, which were identified as the alpha subunit of Gi2 (Gi2 alpha) by the analysis of the partial amino acid sequence. Antibodies were purified with a Gi2 alpha-coupled Sepharose column and then were passed through a Gi1 alpha-coupled Sepharose column to remove antibodies reactive also with 41-kDa alpha. Purified antibodies reacted with Gi2 alpha, but not with Gi1 alpha, Gi3 alpha, or Go alpha in an immunoblot assay. A sensitive enzyme immunoassay method for the quantification of Gi2 alpha was developed by using these purified antibodies. The assay system consisted of polystyrene balls with immobilized antibody F(ab')2 fragments and the same antibody Fab' fragments labeled with beta-D-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The minimal detection limit of the assay was 1 fmol, or 40 pg. Samples from various tissues were solubilized with 2% sodium cholate and 1 M NaCl, and the concentrations of Gi2 alpha were determined. Gi2 alpha was detected in all the tissues examined in the rat. The highest concentration was found in platelets and leukocytes when the data were expressed as picomoles per milligram of protein. The spleen, lung, and cerebral cortex contained relatively high levels of Gi2 alpha. In the bovine brain, Gi2 alpha was distributed almost uniformly among the various regions. The concentrations of Gi2 alpha were constant in the rat brain throughout ontogenic development, in contrast with those of Go alpha which were markedly increased with age.  相似文献

Two GTP-binding proteins which can be ADP-ribosylated by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, were purified from the cholate extract of bovine lung membranes. Both proteins had the same heterotrimeric structure (alpha beta gamma), but the alpha subunits were dissociated from the beta gamma when they were purified in the presence of AlCl3, MgCl2 and NaF. The molecular mass of the alpha subunit of the major protein (designated GLu, with beta gamma) was 40 kDa and that of the minor one was 41 kDa. The results of peptide mapping analysis of alpha subunits with a limited proteolysis indicated that GLu alpha was entirely different from the alpha of brain Gi or Go, while the 41-kDa polypeptide was identical with the alpha of bovine brain Gi. The kinetics of guanosine 5'-[3-O-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S]) binding to GLu was similar to that to lung Gi but quite different from that to brain Go. On the other hand, incubation of GLu alpha at 30 degrees C caused a rapid decrease of GTP[gamma S] binding, the inactivation curve being similar to that of Go alpha but different from that of Gi alpha. The alpha subunits of lung Gi and GLu did not react with the antibodies against the alpha subunit of bovine brain Go. The antibodies were raised in rabbits against GLu alpha and were purified with a GLu alpha-Sepharose column. The purified antibodies reacted not only with GLu alpha but also with the 41-kDa protein and purified brain Gi alpha. However, the antibodies adsorbed with brain Gi alpha reacted only with GLu alpha, indicating antisera raised with GLu alpha contained antibodies that recognize both Gi alpha and GLu alpha, and those specific to GLu alpha. These results further indicate that GLu is different from Gi or Go. Anti-GLu alpha antibodies reacted with the 40-kDa proteins in the membranes of bovine brain and human leukemic (HL-60) cells. The beta gamma subunits were also purified from bovine lung. The beta subunit was the doublet of 36-kDa and 35-kDa polypeptides. The lung beta gamma could elicit the ADP-ribosylation of GLu alpha by islet-activating protein, increase the GTP[gamma S] binding to GLu and protect the thermal denaturation of GLu alpha. The antibodies raised against brain beta gamma cross-reacted with lung beta but not with lung gamma.  相似文献

Antibodies were raised in rabbits against the beta gamma subunits of bovine brain GTP-binding proteins, and were purified with a beta gamma-coupled Sepharose column. Purified antibodies reacted strongly with 36,000-dalton beta subunit and slightly with 35,000-dalton beta and gamma subunits, but not with other proteins in an immunoblot assay. Using these purified antibodies, a sensitive enzyme immunoassay method for the quantification of brain beta gamma was developed. The assay system consisted of polystyrene balls with immobilized antibody F(ab')2 fragments and the same antibody Fab' fragments labeled with beta-D-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The minimum detection limit of the assay was 3 fmol, or 130 pg. Samples from various regions of bovine brain were solubilized with 2% sodium cholate and 1 M NaCl, and the concentrations of beta gamma were determined. The beta gamma were detected in all the regions, and the highest concentrations were observed in the cerebral cortex and nucleus caudatus. The concentrations of beta gamma were higher than those of alpha subunit of GTP-binding protein, Go, in all the regions.  相似文献

Prostaglandin (PG) E2 binding protein, a putative PGE2 receptor, was purified 26-fold with 0.4% recovery from canine renal outer medullary membranes solubilized with 12% digitonin with the sequential use of a Superose 12, Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) Affigel 10, DEAE-5PW and Ampholine column chromatographies. The final preparation retained the binding activity specific for PGE2, but lost most of the sensitivity to guanosine-5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S). An antibody against alpha subunit of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (alpha Gi)1 and alpha Gi2 or that against common sequences of alpha subunit of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (alpha G(common)) reacted at 41 kDa protein in the sample of each step of purification, but failed to do so in the final preparation. An antibody against alpha Gi3 or alpha Go had no effect. In fact, peaks of the binding activity and immunoreactivity for alpha Gi1,2 were chromatographically separated by isoelectric focusing. Moreover, antibodies against alpha G(common) or alpha Gi1,2, but not that against alpha Gi3 and alpha Go, precipitated PGE2 binding activity in the active fractions of WGA-Affigel 10 column chromatography. These results suggest that the PGE2 receptor is an acidic glycoprotein and that Gi1 or Gi2 is physically associated with the PGE2 receptor and dissociates from the receptor protein during purification procedures.  相似文献

The nature of the interaction of cloned alpha 2a-adrenergic receptors from LLC-PK1-O clone cells with G proteins was investigated using an immunoprecipitation approach. Following solubilization of the alpha 2a receptors, antiserum 8730, which is directed against the C-terminal region of Gi alpha, immunoprecipitated alpha 2a receptor-Gi alpha complexes. The immunoprecipitation was specific since it could be blocked by the peptide to which antiserum 8730 was generated. Antisera 3646 (anti-Gi alpha 1), 1521 (anti-Gi alpha 2), and 1518 (anti-Gi alpha 3) immunoprecipitated solubilized alpha 2a receptor-Gi alpha complexes, indicating that all three Gi alpha subtypes couple with the alpha 2a receptor. Antiserum 9072, which is directed against the C-terminal region of G(o)alpha, immunoprecipitated solubilized alpha 2a receptor-G alpha complexes indicating that these receptors are also coupled to G(o)alpha. Antiserum 8132, which is directed against G beta 36, immunoprecipitated solubilized alpha 2a receptors while the G beta 35 antiserum 8129, did not, indicating that alpha 2a receptors selectively associate with G beta 36. The binding of the partial agonist p-aminoclonidine to the solubilized alpha 2a receptor alters the association of the receptor with G proteins. Following p-aminoclonidine binding to the solubilized alpha 2a receptor, the ability of the C-terminal directed G alpha antisera 8730 and 9072 to coimmunoprecipitate the alpha 2a receptor-G alpha complex was greatly reduced. The effect of p-aminoclonidine was concentration dependent, mimicked by the full agonist UK 14304 and blocked by the alpha 2 receptor antagonist yohimbine. In contrast, antisera directed against internal regions of Gi alpha and G(o)alpha, immunoprecipitated the agonist-bound and agonist-free alpha 2a receptor equally well. These findings indicate that following the binding of agonists to the alpha 2a receptor, Gi alpha and G(o)alpha remain physically associated with the receptor but either the conformation of G alpha linked to the receptor or the conformation of the receptor itself is modified such that the epitope for the C-terminal directed anti-Gi alpha and anti-G(o)alpha antisera are not accessible. These agonist-induced conformational changes in the alpha 2a receptor-G alpha complex may be important for the activation of the G protein and the stimulation of the alpha 2a receptor signal transduction pathway.  相似文献

Mastoparan interacts with the carboxyl terminus of the alpha subunit of Gi   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Mastoparan, a peptide toxin from wasp venom, stimulates guanine nucleotide binding and hydrolysis by G proteins. To elucidate the site of mastoparan-G protein interaction, we utilized a polyclonal antibody (R16,17) directed against the carboxyl terminus of the Gi alpha subunit to develop a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We investigated the ability of mastoparan to influence R16,17 antibody binding to G protein alpha subunits in a purified preparation of brain Gi and in neutrophil membrane extracts. Mastoparan antagonized the ability of R16,17 to detect G protein alpha subunits with an IC50 of 15 microM in the purified preparation and with an IC50 of 1 microM for the predominant G protein population in membrane extracts. This reduction was not seen when an unrelated peptide or a peptide of similar charge composition to mastoparan was used in place of mastoparan in the assay. Additionally, antibody R16,17 blocked up to 85% of mastoparan-stimulated GTPase activity. Taken together, these data indicate that the interaction of mastoparan with G protein depends in part on the carboxyl terminus of Gi alpha. Pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha markedly inhibited mastoparan-stimulated GTPase activity but only slightly attenuated the ability of mastoparan to recognize G protein. These data suggest that ribosylation inhibits mastoparan-induced G protein activation by a mechanism distinct from the ability of mastoparan to physically interact with G protein. Since mastoparan is thought to mimic hormone-liganded receptors, these findings may be applicable to the mechanism of receptor-Gi protein uncoupling that results from ADP-ribosylation of the G protein.  相似文献

Two GTP-binding proteins serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, were purified from human platelet membranes as heterotrimers with an alpha beta gamma-subunit structure. The alpha of the major IAP substrate had a molecular mass of 40 kDa and differed from that of Gi 1 or Go previously purified from brain membranes. The partial amino acid sequences of the 40 kDa alpha completely matched with the sequences which were deduced from the nucleotide sequences of the human Gi 2 alpha gene. On the other hand, the alpha of the minor IAP substrate purified from human platelets was about 41 kDa and cross-reacted with an antibody raised against alpha of brain Gi 1 (Gi 1 alpha). These results indicate that the major IAP substrate present in human platelet membranes is a product of the Gi 2 alpha gene.  相似文献

Antisera AS/6 and 7, raised against a synthetic peptide KENLKDCGLF corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal decapeptide of transducin-alpha, react on immunoblots with purified transducin-alpha and with proteins of 40-41 kDa in all tissues tested. The latter represent one or more forms of Gi alpha but not Go alpha, since a synthetic peptide, KNNLKDCGLF, corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal decapeptide of two forms of Gi alpha blocks AS/6 and 7 reactivity with transducin-alpha and Gi alpha on immunoblots, whereas the corresponding Go-related peptide, ANNLRGCGLY, does not. Antisera LE/2 and 3, raised against the synthetic peptide LERIAQSDYI, corresponding to an internal sequence predicted by one form of Gi alpha cDNA (Gi alpha-2) and differing by 3 residues from the sequence of another form, Gi alpha-1, react strongly with a 40-kDa protein abundant in neutrophil membranes and with the major pertussis toxin substrate purified from bovine neutrophils. LE/2 and 3 reveal a relatively faint 40-kDa band on immunoblots of crude brain membranes or of purified brain Gi/Go. LE/2 and 3 do not react with transducin-alpha or Go alpha nor with the 41-kDa form of pertussis toxin substrate in brain, Gi alpha-1. These antisera distinguish between the major pertussis toxin substrates of brain and neutrophil and tentatively identify the latter as Gi alpha-2.  相似文献

The ADP-ribosyl moiety of NAD was transferred to a 40-kDa protein when rat liver nuclei were incubated with pertussis toxin. The 40-kDa substrate in the nuclei displayed unique properties as follows, some of which were apparently distinct from those observed with the toxin-substrate GTP-binding protein (Gi) in the liver plasma membranes. 1) The nuclear 40-kDa protein was recognized with antibodies reacting with the alpha-subunits (alpha i-1 and alpha i-2) of Gi, but not with anti-Go-alpha-subunit antibody. 2) The nuclear protein had a higher mobility than alpha-subunit of the plasma membrane-bound Gi upon electrophoresis with a urea/sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing polyacrylamide gel. 3) The nuclear protein was not extracted from the nuclei with 1% Triton X-100, whereas Gi was easily solubilized from the plasma membranes. 4) There was a beta gamma-subunit-like activity in the nuclei, which was assayed by an ability to support pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a purified alpha-subunit of Gi. Moreover, a 36-kDa protein in the nuclei was recognized with antibody raised against purified beta-subunits of Gi. 5) Pertussis toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation of the nuclear protein was selectively inhibited by the addition of a nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue, and its inhibitory action was competitively blocked by the simultaneous addition of GDP or its analogues, as had been observed with plasma membrane-bound Gi. It thus appeared that a novel form of alpha beta gamma-trimeric GTP-binding protein serving as the substrate of pertussis toxin was present in rat liver nuclei. In order to examine a possible role of the nuclear GTP-binding protein, rats were injected with carbon tetrachloride, a necrosis inducer of hepatocytes. There was a marked increase in the nuclear substrate activity from 3-6 days after the injection, without a significant change in the activity of Gi in the plasma membranes. The time course of the increase corresponded with a recovering stage from the hepatocyte necrosis. These results suggested that the nuclear GTP-binding protein found in the present study might be involved at some stages in the hepatocyte growth.  相似文献

A guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G protein), with subunits designated as alpha 40 beta gamma, was identified and partially resolved from two other purified G proteins, Go (alpha 39 beta gamma) and Gi (alpha 41 beta gamma), found in bovine brain. The alpha 40 G protein subunit served as a substrate for ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by Bordetella pertussis toxin, as did alpha 39 and alpha 41. alpha 40 was shown to be closely related to, but distinct from, alpha 41 by reaction with various peptide antisera. An antiserum generated against a peptide derived from the sequence of a Gi alpha clone isolated from a rat C6 glioma cDNA library (Itoh, H., Kozasa, T., Nagata, S., Nakamura, S., Katada, T., Ui, M., Iwai, S., Ohtsuka, E., Kawasaki, H., Suzuki, K., and Kaziro, Y. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 3776-3780) reacted with alpha 40 to the exclusion of all other alpha subunits tested. Another antiserum generated against a peptide derived from an analogous region of a different Gi alpha clone from a bovine brain cDNA library (Nukuda, T., Tanabe, T., Takahashi, H., Noda, M., Haga, K., Haga, T., Ichiyama, A., Kangawa, K., Hiranaga, M., Matsuo, H., and Numa, S. (1986) FEBS Lett. 197, 305-310) reacted exclusively with alpha 41. Evidence is given for the existence of another form of alpha 41 that did not react with either of these two peptide antisera. The antisera were used to survey various rat tissues for the expression of alpha 40 and alpha 41.  相似文献

Photoaffinity-labeled N-formyl chemotactic peptide receptors from human neutrophils solubilized in octyl glucoside exhibit two forms upon sucrose density gradient sedimentation, with apparent sedimentation coefficients of approximately 4 and 7 S. The 7 S form can be converted to the 4 S form by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) with an EC50 of approximately 20 nM, suggesting that the 7 S form may represent a physical complex of the receptor with endogenous G protein (Jesaitis, A. J., Tolley, J. O., Bokoch, G. M., and Allen, R. A. (1989) J. Cell Biol. 109, 2783-2790). To probe the nature of the 7 S form, we reconstituted the 7 S form from the 4 S form by adding purified G protein. The 4 S form, obtained by solubilizing GTP gamma S-treated neutrophil plasma membranes, was incubated with purified (greater than 95%) Gi protein from bovine brain (containing both Gi alpha 1 and Gi alpha 2) or with neutrophil G protein (Gn), and formation of the 7 S complex was analyzed on sucrose density gradients. The EC50 of 7 S complex formation induced by the two G proteins was 70 +/- 25 and 170 +/- 40 nM for Gn and Gi, respectively. No complexation was measurable when bovine transducin (Gt) was used up to 30 times the EC50 for Gn. The EC50 for Gi was the same for receptors, obtained from formyl peptide-stimulated or unstimulated cells. The addition of 10 microM GTP gamma S to the reconstituted 7 S complex caused a complete revision of the receptor to the 4 S form, and anti-Gi peptide antisera immunosedimented the 7 S form. ADP-ribosylation of Gi prevented formation of the 7 S form even at 20 times the concentration of unribosylated Gi normally used to attain 50% conversion to the 7 S form. These observations suggest that the 7 S species is a physical complex containing N-formyl chemotactic peptide receptor and G protein.  相似文献

A battery of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) against human retinol-binding protein (RBP) was produced to obtain useful probes for the study of the antigenic determinants of RBP. The 12 antibodies all reacted with human RBP by immunoblotting. Based on antibody cross-competition radioimmunoassays, four distinct and different groups of antibodies were identified: group I, 1A4 and 2F4; group II, 1G10, 5C5, 6F4, and 7G3; group III, 5H6, 6C7, 10G5, and 14E3; and group IV, 5H9 and 13A1. Information about the epitopes of RBP recognized by these MoAbs was obtained by testing the reactivity of each antibody with human, rabbit, and rat RBPs by immunoblotting. Group I and group IV antibodies reacted to a similar extent with human, rabbit, and rat RBPs. Group II antibodies reacted strongly with human and rabbit RBPs, but reacted very weakly with rat RBP. Group III antibodies reacted strongly with human RBP, but did not react with rabbit or rat RBP. Thus, the epitopes for group I and group IV antibodies appear to be regions of the RBP molecule that are conserved across the three species, whereas group III antibodies recognized only human RBP. In a preliminary study, the reactivity of each antibody with purified cyanogen bromide fragments of RBP was tested by slot immunoblotting. None of the MoAbs reacted with any of the cyanogen bromide fragments. This study shows that MoAbs specific for at least four different regions of the RBP molecule can be produced; hence, RBP contains at least four major antigenic domains.  相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies reactive against the guanine nucleotide binding stimulatory protein, Gs, were affinity-purified from two rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 28-42 in the alpha-subunit, alpha s. On immunoblots, these antibodies recognized alpha s, but not alpha-subunits from two other guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins, Gi and Go. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed in which inhibition of antibody binding to peptide-coated microtiter plates was used to quantitate purified Gs or Gs in cholate extracts of cell membranes. Plasma membranes derived from wild type S49 lymphoma cells contained 18.9 +/- 2.3 pmol/mg of membrane protein of alpha s. The same membranes bound 169 +/- 12 fmol/mg of protein of [125I]iodocyanopindolol to beta-adrenergic receptors, indicating that the amount of Gs is far in excess of the amount of beta-adrenergic receptors. Thus, even if every beta-adrenergic receptor molecule were to activate 10 Gs molecules, in order for Gs to be limiting for the receptors to reach their high affinity state, it is likely that compartmentation exists for target cell membrane receptors and Gs. Moreover, a comparison of beta-adrenergic receptor number and Gs levels in several different S49 lymphoma cell mutants having lesions in receptors or Gs argues against a coordinate regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors and Gs.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (2-3E2, 6-3G11, and 7-3H6) against gap junction plaques purified from rat liver were prepared and characterized. Immunoblot analysis of liver gap junctions revealed that all three antibodies reacted with the 27-kDa protein, but not with the 22-kDa one. The 2-3E2 and 6-3G11 antibodies both reacted with the 27-kDa protein in gap junctions purified from livers of the rat, mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig; the 7-3H6 antibody, however, failed to react with the 27-kDa protein from guinea pig liver. The 7-3H6 antibody reacted strongly with the 24- to 26-kDa degradation products of the 27-kDa protein. Indirect immunofluorescence showed that the 6-3G11 and 7-3H6 antibodies both gave the same specific fluorescence labeling on rat liver cryosections, suggesting that these two antibodies recognized the cytoplasmic sites of the 27-kDa protein. Immunoblot analysis of protease-digested fragments from the 27-kDa protein revealed that the 7-3H6 antibody reacted with the 24- and 17-kDa fragments (including portions of the carboxyl-terminal domain of the 27-kDa protein) produced with endoproteinases Arg-C and Lys-C, respectively. Immunoblot analysis of CNBr fragments of the 27-kDa protein revealed that all three antibodies reacted with the 10-kDa fragment, which is thought to be the carboxyl-terminal domain of the 27-kDa protein. These results demonstrate that three monoclonal antibodies recognize different epitopes of the cytoplasmic sites (probably the carboxyl-terminal domain) of the 27-kDa liver gap junction protein.  相似文献

Antisera against a synthetic tetradecameric peptide with the sequence DLIQEGNIGLMKAV, which is present in region 2.2 of both sigma 70 and sigma 32 subunits of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, cross-reacted with more than 10 E. coli proteins including these two sigma subunits. Four major species of these cross-reacting proteins (SCRPs) were purified. N-Terminal amino acid sequence analysis revealed that one of them (SCRP-27A) was an as yet unidentified protein while the other three (SCRP-34, SCRP-27B and SCRP-23) were thioredoxin reductase, ribosomal protein S2, and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, respectively. Immunological competition experiments with various fragments of this sigma region 2.2 peptide indicated that the anti-sigma peptide serum contained at least three different species of antibodies. All the four SCRPs analyzed here reacted with an antibody against a C-terminus-proximal epitope.  相似文献

A GTP-binding protein serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, was partially purified from human leukemic (HL-60) cells that had been differentiated into neutrophil type. The partially purified protein, referred to as GHL, predominantly consisted of at least two polypeptides with molecular masses of 40,000 daltons (alpha) and 36,000 or 35,000 daltons (beta). The structure was similar to Gi or Go previously purified from rat brain as an alpha beta gamma-heterotrimeric IAP substrate (Katada, T., Oinuma, M., and Ui, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 8182-8191), although the existence of the gamma of GHL was unclear. The 40,000-dalton polypeptide contained the site for IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation and the binding site for guanine nucleotide with a high affinity. The 36,000- and 35,000-dalton polypeptides were cross-reacted with the affinity-purified antibody raised against the beta of brain Gi and Go. Limited proteolysis with trypsin and immunoblot analyses with the use of the affinity-purified antibodies raised against the alpha of brain Gi or Go indicated that the alpha of GHL was different from the alpha of Gi or Go. Kinetics of guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) binding to GHL was also quite different from that to brain Gi or Go. Incubation of GHL with GTP gamma S resulted in a resolution into GTP gamma S-bound alpha and beta(gamma) thus purified had abilities to inhibit a membrane-bound adenylate cyclase activity and to associate with the alpha of brain IAP substrate in a fashion similar to the beta gamma of brain IAP substrates, suggesting that there were no significant differences in the biological activities between the beta(gamma) of GHL and those of Gi or Go. Physiological roles of the new GTP-binding protein, GHL, purified from the neutrophil-like cells in receptor-mediated signal transduction are discussed.  相似文献

A new method for immuno-affinity purification of specific antibodies against human gastrin releasing peptide(h-GRP) was developed. The antiserum GP(No. 6201) elicited by h-GRP-BSA conjugate was heterogeneous and reacted not only with h-GRP and its fragments but also partially with other structurally related peptides, such as other GRPs (porcine, canine, and chicken), bombesin, and neuromedin-C. To obtain specific antibodies against human GRP, antiserum GP was purified by column chromatography on the amino-terminal octapeptide h-GRP(1-8)-linked polydimethylacrylamide resin. The antibody thus obtained was highly specific to amino-terminal sequence of h-GRP and hardly reacted with other GRPs (porcine, canine and chicken), bombesin, and even carboxy-terminal h-GRP fragments in ELISA.  相似文献

Two antipeptide antibodies (designated type 1 antibody and type 2A antibody) were raised against synthetic peptides, Cys-Thr-Pro-Pro-Arg-Asn-Ser-Ala-Lys-Ala-Lys-Lys and Cys-Val-Thr-Arg-Arg-Thr-Pro-Asp-Try-Phe-Leu, corresponding to the carboxyl termini of the catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 1 and phosphatase 2A (Cys was added for specific coupling to carrier protein). These antipeptide antibodies were highly specific and were useful in discriminating between protein phosphatase 1 and phosphatase 2A in crude extracts or purified preparations. Type 2A antibody reacted with both native and denatured protein phosphatase 2A whereas under the same condition type 1 antibody reacted only with denatured protein phosphatase 1.  相似文献

About half of the rabbit antisera raised against type-I procollagen, p alpha 1(I) chain or nonreduced procollagen peptides reacted in a radioimmunoassay with the reduced form of peptide Col 1, which comprises the whole non-collagenous region at the N-terminus of procollagen. Proteolytic fragments prepared from reduced peptide Col 1 were still effective inhibitors of the antibodies and allowed the localization of two antigenic determinants. The antigenically active regions have the sequences less than Glu-Glu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Gln-Glu and Gly-Asp-Thr-Gly-Pro-Arg, and are located at the N- and C-termini of the peptide respectively. Antibodies raised against reduced peptide Col 1 bind to a determinant localized in a different region of the peptide.  相似文献
