Pulse treatment of lymphoid cells from rabbits with solubilized antigens from T2 phage results in the firm binding of small but highly active amounts of antigen. Binding of phage antigens to viable, nonviable, or disrupted cells enhances their ability to evoke antibody formation or specific unresponsiveness in the primary in vitro response of rabbit spleen cells. Transfer of sonicate containing the equivalent of 102 to 103 antigen-pulsed cells carrying 10?8 to 10?7 μg phage protein nitrogen into spleen cell cultures regularly evokes antibody formation, while introduction to such cultures of 10?3 μg phage protein nitrogen in cell-bound form evokes unresponsiveness. These findings indicate a 10- to 100-fold amplification of tolerogenic and immunogenic activities of cell-bound over soluble T2 antigen.  相似文献

The nature of binding of abrin to Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined in relation to the ensuing intoxication of the treated cells. Approx. 20% of [125I]abrin bound to CHO cells at 37°C was found to be resistant to the addition or presence of 0.1 M lactose. The extent of lactose-resistant binding depended inversely upon the temperature of incubation. Among various proteins, lectins and sugars, only non-labeled abrin could strongly inhibit the lactose-resistant binding of [125I]abrin. Lactose-resistant binding could lead to an inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and to a loss of cell viability. Abrin molecules bound at the lactose-sensitive and lactose-resistant binding sites apparently have an equal probability of being internalized by CHO cells. Binding of approx. 3·103 abrin molecules per CHO cell was required to elicit 50% loss of cell viability regardless of whether the binding occurs in the presence or absence of lactose. The result of a cross-linking experiment suggested that a membrane protein with an Mr of about 45 000 may be responsible for the lactose-resistant binding of abrin.  相似文献

Binding of small amounts of glycolipid mR595 to rat cells, followed by sequential incubation of cells at 37 °C with rabbit anti-glycolipid mR595 and fluorescein-conjugated sheep anti-rabbit γ-globulin antisera results in the localization of fluorescence at one pole of the cell surface (capping). Binding of higher amounts of glycolipid mR595 to cells not only inhibits formation of glycolipid caps but those of the ConA receptor-fluorescent ConA complex as well. Glycolipid mR595 binding does not alter [3H]ConA binding to cells but cell agglutination by ConA is inhibited in a competitive fashion. Binding of small amounts of ConA to cells does not affect glycolipid capping. Colchicine and cytochalasin B (CB) treatment of cells inhibits glycolipid cap formation.  相似文献

Intact human platelets bind cytochalasin B (CB) with a capacity of 100– 120 p mols CB/mg protein or approximately 7 × 104 molecules/cell and dissociation constants (KD) ranging from 2 × 10?8 to 10?6 M. Up to 85% of this saturable binding is displaced by 10?5 M cytochalasin E (CE). This CE-sensitive binding also appears heterogeneous with KD similar to those of the overall binding. The CE-insensitive binding, however, appears as a single component with KD ≌ 4 × 10?7 M. The sedimentable constituents from frozen, thawed, and washed cells also bind CB with KD ranging from 2.4 × 10?8 to 1.5 × 10?6 M and a total capacity of approximately 39 p mols/mg protein which accounts for only 4% of the ligand binding to the intact cell. The major portion (60–80%) of this CB binding is displaceable by 500 mM D-glucose and has a KD of 1.5 × 10?6M, while only 10–15% is CE-sensitive with a KD of 2.4 ± 10?8 M. It is concluded that 95% of the saturable CB binding in platelets is associated with the cytosol of which 80–85% is sensitive to CE and that only 3% of the cellular binding is glucose sensitive, membrane-associated binding. If the CE-sensitive binding associated with the cytosol is entirely to actin, the stoichiometry of this binding is approximately one CB to 30 actin monomers, which is greater by an order of magnitude than that for CB binding to muscle actin.  相似文献

The binding of [3H]cytochalasin B (CB) to intact cells was compared in lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) and erythrocytes over a broad range of cytochalasin concentrations. Binding curves consistent with the presence of high and low affinity binding sites were demonstrated in all three cell types. However, in contrast to observations in erythrocytes, in lymphocytes and PMNLs CB binding was unaffected by d-glucose. p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate and p-hydroxymercurisulfonate were only partially inhibitory and unlabeled cytochalasins E, D and A (CE, CD, CA) inhibited [3H]CB binding more effectively than unlabeled CB. While attempts to demonstrate that plasma membrane-rich subcellular fractions from lymphocytes selectively bind [3H]CB were inconclusive, radioautographic studies on unbroken cells indicated that most or all of the high affinity CB-binding sites in lymphocytes and PMNLs were in close proximity to the cell surface.  相似文献

We have investigated the relationship between the total amount of cell-bound concanavalin A (con A), as determined in binding experiments with 3H-conA, and the amount of cell-bound conA detected with horseradish peroxidase on normal murine fibroblasts (3T3). By comparing prefixed and non-prefixed cell membranes a discrepancy was found between the amount of cell-bound conA and the amount of cytochemically detected conA. This discrepancy was interpreted to substantiate the theory that conA binding sites can move within the membrane. Incubation of non-prefixed cells with conA induced redistribution of binding sites on the cell membrane. The redistribution resulted in changes in detectability of conA by horseradish peroxidase. The use and limitations of horseradish peroxidase in the study of cell transformation and of changes in agglutinability by conA are discussed.  相似文献

Coxsackievirus B3 (CB3) firmly attaches to HeLa cells, forming a specific complex between the virus and its receptor on the cell surface. We extracted this virus-receptor complex (VRC) with the detergents sodium deoxycholate and Triton X-100. The VRC was identified by its sedimentation coefficient (140S), which was less than that of virions (155S). Formation of the VRC from cell lysates and 3H-CB3 occurred with the same specificity as did attachment of virions to cells, in that its formation was blocked by unlabeled CB3 but not by poliovirus. The VRC was purified 30,000-fold by differential and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Iodination with Na125I revealed that the purified VRC consisted of the normal CB3 proteins and one additional protein (RP-a) with an approximate molecular weight of 49,500. RP-a was eluted from the VRC and was shown to rebind with CB3 and CB1 virions but not with poliovirus type 1. We propose that Rp-a is a protein in the plasma membrane receptor complex which is responsible for the specific recognition and binding of the group B coxsackieviruses.  相似文献

We have isolated and characterized glycopeptides, derived from mouse and bovine cerebral cortex cells, that inhibit protein synthesis and cell growth of normal but not transformed cells. The inhibitor binds to target cell surfaces, and gangliosides have previously been shown to influence cell sensitivity to the glycopeptides. Preincubation with 3.0 micrograms/ml ganglioside GM1 at 0 degrees C for 3 hr sensitized the mouse L-cell line to the inhibitor, as determined by protein synthesis assays. Preincubation of LM cells with ganglioside GM1 alone did not affect protein synthesis rates. In addition, the gangliosides GD1a and GM3 also sensitized the LM cells to the protein synthesis inhibitory effect of the glycopeptide inhibitor. Binding experiments were performed with 3T3 (sensitive) and LM (insensitive) cells to determine if sensitivity to the glycopeptide inhibitor was reflected in binding of the inhibitor to these cells. Binding of 125I-labeled inhibitor to 3T3 cells was maximal after 60 min at 0 degrees C and saturable at approximately 1 X 10(4) molecules/cell. Furthermore, binding of the inhibitor was dose-dependent, with half-maximal binding at 1.5-2.0 nM and saturation at 8.0-10.0 nM. Scatchard plot analysis indicated that the Kd was about 1 X 10(-9) M and that there are 1 X 10(4) receptors/cell. Binding of the inhibitor to LM cells was maximal after 30 min at 0 degrees C and saturation occurred at 5 X 10(3) molecules/cell. We then examined the possibility that gangliosides are the cellular receptor or co-receptor for the glycopeptide inhibitor. Binding of the inhibitor to ganglioside GM1 was first examined after the ganglioside had been preadsorbed to polystyrene tubes. These experiments indicated that the ganglioside did not bind the inhibitor. Ganglioside-containing liposomes from phosphatidylcholine or LM cell membrane components were also prepared; these artificial membranes did not bind appreciable amounts of the iodinated inhibitor. Competition experiments showed that the gangliosides GM1 and GD1a did not neutralize the protein synthesis inhibitory activity of the glycopeptides, indicating that gangliosides do not directly interact with the glycopeptide inhibitor. In addition, binding of the inhibitor to LM cells preincubated with ganglioside GM1 was studied. Although the binding of the inhibitor to LM cells was one-half that observed for 3T3 cells, incorporation of exogenous gangliosides into LM cells did not result in increased binding of the inhibitor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

HeLa S3 cells were exposed to varied concentrations of methylmercury over varied periods of time and its binding by the cells was studied using 203Hg-labeled methylmercuric chloride as radioactive marker. Also studied was the effect of cell-bound methylmercury on DNA replication and protein synthesis and on the growth rate of the cells. The results show that methylmercury binding is a rapid process, with much of the organomercurial bound within the the first 60 min of incubation, and that considerable quantities of organic mercury become affixed to the cells. The amounts of bound methylmercury, [CH3Hg(II)]bound, given in mol/cell, range from 2 × 10?16 (at 1 h of incubation and at 1 μM CH3Hg(II) in the medium) to almost 4 × 10?14 (at 24 h of incubation and at 100 μM CH3Hg(II) in the medium). A [CH3Hg(II)]bound value of about 30 × 10?16 mol/cell appears to be the threshold below which cells display a normal growth pattern and below which metabolic events such as DNA replication or protein synthesis are affected only to a minor degree but above which major changes in cell metabolism and cell growth take place. Methylmercury binding by the cells is tight so that only 20% of the bound material is released from the cells over a 3-h incubation period when the cells are placed into fresh, methylmercury-free growth medium. Analysis of the binding data in terms of binding to identical and completely independent sites yields an association constant K of 7.92 × 104 l/mol and for the maximum concentration of cellular binding sites the value 2.40 × 10?14 mol/cell or 1.45 × 1010 sites/cell. Evidence is presented which shows that cellular sulfhydryl groups do not suffice to provide all the sites taken up by methylmercury and that binding, in all likelihood, involves basic nitrogen, too. The levels of cell-bound methylmercury are such that binding to HeLa DNA and HeLa chromatin, for instance, can readily take place. Methylmercury binding data obtained by using the technique of particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) are in good agreement with the data obtained via isotope dilution.  相似文献

Colicin E1 protein was labeled with 125I to specific activities of up to 2 × 108 cpm/mg of protein and with no loss of the colicin biological activity. The labeled colicin bound to colicin E1-sensitive, tolerant, and immune E1-colicinogenic Escherichia coli. An E. coli mutant resistant to colicin E1 exhibited a much lower colicin-binding capacity. The average number of bound colicin molecules per sensitive cell increased as a function of the colicin concentration in the colicin cell interaction mixture and continued to increase even after loss of viability of the entire culture. Up to 2,400 colicin E1 molecules bound per cell, but saturation was not reached. Binding kinetics showed that maximum binding occurred within 2 to 5 min of colicin addition. Survival and binding assays indicated that one colicin killing unit corresponded to an average of about 100 colicin molecules bound per bacterial cell. This number, however, decreased to about 8 in more extensively washed cells. Trypsin digestion of the colicin-treated cells removed the majority of the cell-bound colicin, but in general provided little rescue from colicin killing. At low colicin concentrations, a linear relationship existed between survival and the number of trypsin-inaccessible colicin molecules. Under these circumstances and in agreement with single-hit kinetics, the relationship between the number of colicin killing units and the number of trypsin-inaccessible colicin molecules was close to 1. After trypsin digestion, cells that were nearly saturated with colicin retained about 200 trypsin-inaccessible colicin molecules per cell. The trypsin-inaccessible colicin might represent those colicin molecules that bound to the specific E colicin receptors of E. coli cells.  相似文献

Binding characteristics of Hyphantria cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HcNPV) to Spodoptera frugiperda 21 (Sf21) cells was determined. The cells displayed an affinity of 0.9 × 1010 M-1 with about 8900 binding sites per cell. The biochemical nature of HcNPV-binding sites on the cell surface was also partially elucidated. There were 45 to 49% reductions in HcNPV binding following the pretreatment of cells with three proteases, suggesting the involvement of a cellular protein component in virus binding. Tunicamycin, which inhibits N-linked glycosylation and the expression of some membrane proteins on the cell surface, reduced virus binding suggesting a role for glycoprotein(s) in binding. Treatment of cells with wheat germ agglutinin or neuraminidase did not measurably reduce virus binding, indicating that oligosaccharides containing N-acetylglucosamine or sialic acid are not directly involved in HcNPV attachment. The negative effect of methylamine on HcNPV binding seems to be due to the fact that HcNPV entry via an endocytic pathway is blocked by the increased pH of the endosome. Data on energy inhibitors (sodium azide and dinitrophenol) indicates that HcNPV attachment to Sf21 cells may be closely linked to viral entry via receptor-mediated endocytosis. These findings suggest that the binding site moiety has a glycoprotein component, but that direct involvement of oligosacccharides containing N-acetylglucosamine or sialic acid residues in binding is unlikely, and that HcNPV attachment to Sf21 cells might be via receptor-mediated endocytosis.

125I-Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binding parameters of human urothelial cell lines of different grades of transformation (TGrll and TGrlll) were compared. The values of association constant (Ka) and the number of binding sites/cell for HCV29 (TGrll) cell line were about 3×106M–1 and over 4×107, respectively. Two TGrlll cell lines, HCV29T and Hu549 revealed lower values for Ka, and considerably higher numbers of binding sites/cell (about 3×108 and 2×108, respectively). Binding of125I-WGA to total cellular proteins resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose showed multiple diffused bands in the range of 58–180 kDa. Some of these bands were characteristic for TGrll cells (124 kDa) or TGrlll cells (135 and 148 kDa).Abbreviations TGr transformation grade - WGA wheat germ agglutinin - sWGA succinylated wheat germ agglutinin - GlcNAc N-acetyl-d-glucosamine - BSA bovine serum albumin - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

A method is described herein for the isolation and quantitation of polyglutamates of the thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor N10-propargyl-5,8-dideazafolic acid (CB3717) in tumor cells exposed to the drug in vitro. Cells were incubated with 50 microM 3H-CB3717 for 12 h and then disrupted by sonication. CB3717 and its polyglutamates were extracted by boiling in 0.01 M Tris-HCl pH 10. The extract was concentrated by lyophilization and analyzed by reverse phase HPLC (10 x 0.46-cm Polygosil 5-micron C18 column) using linear gradient elution (5-16% acetonitrile in 0.1 M sodium acetate, pH 5, over 15 min, 2 ml/min). Recovery of radioactivity at each stage of the method was greater than 70%. CB3717 and its polyglutamates were identified by co-chromatography with synthetic standards and by inhibition of partially purified TS. Quantitation was by means of radiochemical analysis. The 3H-CB3717 used in these studies was prepared by catalytic tritiation of diethyl-(2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoyl)-L-glutamate followed by consecutive alkylation with propargyl bromide and 2-amino-6-bromomethyl-3,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinazoline hydrobromide. The free diacid was prepared as required by hydrolysis in sodium hydroxide and purified by HPLC. Tritiation in only one position was confirmed by 3H NMR. Following the exposure of L1210 leukemia cells to 50 microM 3H-CB3717 for 12 h the total cellular radioactivity level was approximately 7 microM, of which 27% was present as polyglutamated metabolites with four and five glutamate residues.  相似文献

The competitive behavior of solid vs. fluid liposomes in liposome-to-cell adsorption and cell-to-liposome lipid transfer processes was investigated with L cells and FBT epithelial sheets. Binding, transfer and 31P-NMR experiments have demonstrated that: (i) solid liposomes adhere to the cell surface as integral vesicles retaining the entrapped substances; (ii) fluid liposomes are partly disintegrated at the cell surface with concomitant entry of entrapped substances into the cytoplasm, while their lipids remain on the cell surface; (iii) fluid liposomes that escape lysis dissociate from the cell, taking away cell lipid molecules. The latter process underlies the mechanism of cell-to-fluid liposome lipid transfer. In contrast, no lipid transfer occurs between the plasma membrane and solid liposomes. Cell-bound solid liposomes interfere with the transfer of cell lipids to fluid liposomes, while these in turn inhibit the binding of solid liposomes to the cell surface. Moreover, cell-induced aggregation of both fluid and solid freshly added liposomes is also inhibited by preincubation of the cells with either solid or fluid liposomes. Thus, different types of interaction of both fluid and solid liposomes with the cell are mediated by the same (or closely related) sites on the cell surface.  相似文献

The 71,000 dalton glycoprotein (gp71) purified from Rauscher murine leukemia virus (R-MuLV) by affinity chromatography specifically binds to murine but not other mammalian cells in culture. Binding is prevented by specific antiserum raides to gp71 (anti-gp71). The binding assay as described in this report can detect receptors on as few as 300 murine cells, and with 1 X 10(5) cells gives significant binding with 30 sec. The results show that the purified glycoprotein retians biologic activity and can form a stable complex with specific receptors on mouse cell membranes. The assay can therefore be used to characterize the nature of the cellular receptors that are essential for leukemia virus infection. Purified gp71 binding to mouse cells is prevented if the cells are actively producing related ecotropic type C viruses, presumably because the receptors are occupied and are not available to bind exogenously applied gp71. The binding of gp71 to murine cells is enhanced by the presence of calcium ions and low pH. Binding studies performed using an excess of 125I-gp71 indicate the NIH/3T3 cells bind approximately 5.3 X 10(5) molecules of 125I-gp71 per cell.  相似文献

With a specially equipped flow cytofluorometer it is possible to determine quickly and accurately binding constants and the maximum number of binding sites for ligands such as peptide hormones and lectins on surfaces of intact living cells, with incubation concentrations as low as 10?11 M. Since the measurement is confined to cell-bound material the cells can be kept in their physiological environment, including free ligand molecules, even at the very moment of the assay. Thus there is no additional risk of perturbing the integrity of the membrane or of interfering with ligand-receptor interactions by washing or similar procedures. It was found that damaged cells, inevitably present in any population, are able to grossly distort binding patterns. Suggestions are given how such cells may be excluded from the measurement.  相似文献

The Transplantable B-16 melanotic melanoma carried in syngeneic C57B1/6J female mice and the Syrian hamster melanoma cell line, RPMI 3460, were utilized to determine whether steroid-hormone receptors are present in animal melanomas. In the B-16 melanoma, a cytoplasmic-estrogen receptor is detectable, but there is no evidence for androgen or progestin receptors. Some tumors contain a glucocorticoid-binding macromolecule. Sucrosedensity gradient centrifugation of cytosol after incubation with [3H]-estradiol revealed an 8S peak that was suppressed by excess radioinert diethylstilbesterol. Binding varied from 5–35 fmoles per mg cytosol protein. Scatchard analysis of [3H]-estradiol binding in cytosol yielded a single class of high-affinity binding sites; the dissociation constant is 6 × 10?10 M. The receptor molecule is shown to be estrogen-specific by ligand competition assays. In contrast to B-16 melanoma, no estrogen, androgen, or progestin receptor can be found in the Syrian hamster melanoma cell line. However, a substantial level of specific binding is observed using [3H]-dexamethasone. Sucrose-gradient centrifugation of cytosol from this cell line after incubation with [3H]-dexamethasone revealed a 7S peak that was suppressed by excess radioinert dexamethasone. Scatchard analysis indicated a single class of high affinity sites with a dissociation constant of 2 × 10?9 M. Binding levels from 70–610 fmoles per mg cytosol protein were observed. The Syrian hamster melanoma cells also exhibit a biological response to glucocorticoids: Dexamethasone causes both an inhibition of growth and a decrease in final-cell density in these cells.  相似文献

We investigated whether HIV-1 can regulate tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) expression in SupT-1, a CD4 + T-cell line. The cells were infected with HIV-1 containing 1,000 cpm RT activity, as early as day 3 after infection and all along the culture the supernatant level of core protein p24 was >250 pg/ml, and on days 6 and 9 after infection, p24 was found in 10 % of the cells as determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay. The cells were growing without loss of viability. The study of TNFR expression was based on a microassay for measurement of binding of 125I-TNFα to cells, in which free and cell-bound ligand separation was performed by centrifugation through oil. Scatchard analysis of TNFα binding on days 6 and 9 after infection revealed a 90 % increase in the expression of high-affinity membrane receptors in HIV + SupT-1 culture compared with uninfected cells (mean +/-S.D. = 501 +/-148.5 vs. 263 +/-77.8 receptors/cell, n = 9, P< 0.001) with no change in dissociation constants (mean +/? S.D. = 4.36 +/?1.06 vs. 4.00 +/?1.12 × 10?10 m ).  相似文献

Dictyostelium discoideum cells were allowed to differentiate on agar for 600 min at room temperature. All of the cells were then competent to relay or amplify a cAMP signal, but none to produce a cAMP signal autonomously. The cells were stimulated with cAMP concentrations ranging from 10?9 to 3.5 × 10?7M. Populations of 106 cells could amplify an initial cAMP concentration of 2.5 × 10?9M with a low probability, while an initial cAMP concentration of 5 × 10?8M always induced a response. An initial cAMP concentration of 1.2 × 10?7M induced the maximum cellular release of cAMP observed; this corresponded to 3 × 107 molecules per cell. No cellular release of cAMP was detected for initial cAMP concentrations of 3 × 10?7M or more. The amplification of a 10?7M cAMP stimulus was complete within 8 sec, indicating the pulsatile nature of the cellular release of cAMP. The phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities of D. discoideum cells were measured over a wide range of cell densities. At densities above 7.5 × 104 cells/cm2, both cell-bound and extracellular (ePDE) activities declined, per cell, as cell density increased. These results are compared to ePDE activities derived from critical density measurements. We found that PDE activities were in the range of 10?13–10?14 moles of cAMP converted/cell/min under culture conditions consistent with normal aggregation.  相似文献

Since exogenous gangliosides are known to promote neuritogenesis, the incorporation of exogenous GM1 into neuroblastoma membranes was examined. Neuro-2A cells, synchronized in the G1/G0 phase, were suspended in HEPES buffered saline containing 10–4 M [3H]GM1, and membrane incorporation was measured as radioactivity remaining with the cell pellet following incubation with serum-containing medium and trypsin. Calcium ion (0.01 to 10 mM) reduced incorporation of exogenous GM1, due to its interaction with GM1 micelles in solution. When cells were treated with proteases prior to incubation with GM1, the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ was lost and total incorporation into membranes was lowered by approximately one order of magnitude. Pretreatment of cells with 0.05% trypsin resulted in an inhibition of GM1 incorporation within 5 minutes. When trypsinized cells were resuspended in complete growth medium, the cells recovered the ability to incorporate GM1 with time, and this paralleled labeling of cellular protein with [3H]leucine. The role of membrane protein in the incorporation of exogenous GM1 could not be explained by the lytic release of cytosolic transfer proteins nor the artifactual coating of the cell surface by serum proteins. These results suggest that the incorporation of exogenous gangliosides into cellular membrane lipid bilayers cannot be fully explained by considerations of lipophilicity alone, and leads us to propose that initial recognition by membrane protein(s) is necessary.Abbreviations used GM1 H3NeuAc-GgOse4Cer - HBS HEPES buffered saline - DMEM Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium - FCS fetal calf serum  相似文献
