Activation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors stimulates inositol phosphate production in rat hepatocytes via a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism, suggesting the involvement of a G protein in the process. Since the first event after receptor-G protein interaction is exchange of GTP for GDP on the G protein, the effect of EGF was measured on the initial rates of guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thiotriphosphate) [( 35S]GTP gamma S) association and [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation in rat hepatocyte membranes. The initial rate of [35S]GTP gamma S binding was stimulated by EGF, with a maximal effect observed at 8 nM EGF. EGF also increased the initial rate of [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation. The effect of EGF on [35S]GTP gamma S association was blocked by boiling the peptide for 5 min in 5 mM dithiothreitol or by incubation of the membranes with guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S). EGF-stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S binding was completely abolished in hepatocyte membranes prepared from pertussis toxin-treated rats and was inhibited in hepatocyte membranes that were treated directly with the resolved A-subunit of pertussis toxin. The amount of guanine nucleotide binding affected by occupation of the EGF receptor was approximately 6 pmol/mg of membrane protein. Occupation of angiotensin II receptors, which are known to couple to G proteins in hepatic membranes, also stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S association with and [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation from the membranes. The effect of angiotensin II on [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation was blocked by the angiotensin II receptor antagonist [Sar1,Ile8]angiotensin II, demonstrating that the guanine nucleotide binding was receptor-mediated. In A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, EGF stimulates inositol lipid breakdown, but the effect is not blocked by treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin. In these cells, EGF had no effect on [35S]GTP gamma S binding. Occupation of the beta-adrenergic receptor in A431 cell membranes with isoproterenol did stimulate [35S] GTP gamma S binding, and the effect could be completely blocked by l-propranolol. These results support the concept that in hepatocyte membranes, EGF receptors interact with a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein via a mechanism similar to other hormone receptor-G protein interactions, but that in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, EGF may activate phospholipase C via different mechanisms. 相似文献

The hepatic angiotensin II receptor. II. Effect of guanine nucleotides and interaction with cyclic AMP production 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Guanine nucleotides were observed to modify the binding of 125I-angiotensin II to rat hepatic plasma membrane receptors. GTP and its nonhydrolyzable analogues greatly increased the dissociation rate of bound 125I-angiotensin II and altered hormone binding to the receptor under equilibrium conditions. In the absence of GTP, 125I-angiotensin II labeled both high affinity sites (Kd1 = 0.46 nM, N1 = 650 fmol/mg) and low affinity sites (Kd2 = 4.1 nM, N2 = 1740 fmol/mg). In the presence of guanine nucleotides, the affinities of the two sites were unchanged, but the number of high affinity sites decreased markedly to 52 fmol/mg. In analogous experiments using the angiotensin II antagonist, 125I-sarcosine1,Ala8-angiotensin II (125I-saralasin), guanine nucleotides minimally affected the interaction of 125I-saralasin with its receptor, increasing the dissociation rate 1.9-fold and the Kd 1.4-fold. The guanine nucleotide inhibition of agonist binding required a cation such as Na+ or Mg2+, with a maximal effect occurring at about 1 mM Mg2+. In liver plasma membranes prepared in EDTA, angiotensin II inhibited basal and glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities by 30% and 10%, respectively. Angiotensin II also caused a 40% inhibition of glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in intact hepatocytes, with a half-maximal effect occurring at 1 nM. The inhibition by angiotensin II of adenylate cyclase in membranes and of cAMP levels in intact cells could be reversed by the antagonist sarcosine1,Ile8-angiotensin II. Vasopressin caused a smaller 26% inhibition of glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. The ability of angiotensin II to inhibit cyclic AMP synthesis may provide an explanation for the observed effects of guanine nucleotides on 125I-angiotensin II binding to plasma membranes. 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

Modulation of blood glucose by melatonin: a direct action on melatonin receptors in mouse hepatocytes. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Melatonin receptors were studied in isolated mouse hepatocytes using the 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin binding assay. The binding of 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin to hepatocytes isolated from the mouse using collagenase was stable, saturable, reversible and of high affinity. The equilibrium dissociation constant (K(d)) obtained from saturation studies was 10.0 +/- 0.4 pmol/l (n = 16), which was comparable to the K(d) obtained from kinetics studies (6.9 +/- 1.2 pmol/l, n = 3), and the maximum number of binding sites (B(max)) was 2.9 +/- 0.4 fmol/mg protein (n = 16). The relative order of potency of indoles in competing for 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin binding was 2-iodomelatonin > 2-phenylmelatonin > 6-chloromelatonin > melatonin > 6-hydroxymelatonin > N-acetylserotonin, indicating that the binding was mediated by the ML(1) receptor subtype. The linear Rosenthal plots, the close proximity of the Hill coefficient to unity and the monophasic competition curves suggest that a single class of 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin binding sites is present in the mouse hepatocytes. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) dose-dependently inhibited 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin by lowering the affinity of binding, while no inhibitory effects of adenosine nucleotides were observed, suggesting that the binding sites are G-protein linked. Western immunoblotting was used to identify the melatonin receptor subtype in mouse hepatocytes using anti-Mel(1a) and anti-Mel(1b). Hepatocyte membrane extract reacted with anti-Mel(1b) but not anti-Mel(1a) giving a peptide-blockable band of 36 kD, supporting the hypothesis that the melatonin receptors in mouse hepatocytes are of the Mel(1b) subtype. Melatonin injection and a high plasma glucose level affected 2[(125)I]iodomelatonin binding in the whole mouse liver homogenates. Plasma glucose was elevated by mid-light intraperitoneal injection of melatonin (4 and 40 mg/kg body weight) in a dose-dependent manner with maximum elevation achieved 1 h after injection. 2[(125)I]Iodomelatonin binding at this time showed increased K(d) with no changes in B(max). When the plasma glucose returned to normal within 2 h, the binding remained lowered with increased K(d) but no changes in B(max). Elevation of plasma glucose by 2-deoxyglucose injection (500 mg/kg), on the other hand, decreased the binding by decreasing the B(max) without affecting the K(d). Suppression of plasma glucose by insulin injection (3 IU/kg) did not change the binding. Thus, melatonin may act directly on the liver to elevate the plasma glucose level, and changes in plasma glucose level itself may in turn affect hepatic melatonin binding. 相似文献

Specific binding sites for [3H]-1,3 di-ortho-tolylguanidine ([3H]-DTG), a selective radiolabeled sigma receptor ligand, were detected and characterized in sheep pineal gland membranes. The binding of [3H]-DTG to sheep pineal membranes was rapid and reversible with a rate constant for association (K+1) at 25 degrees C of 0.0052 nM-1.min-1 and rate constant for dissociation (K-1) 0.0515 min-1, giving a Kd (K-1/K+1) of 9.9 nM. Saturation studies demonstrated that [3H]-DTG binds to a single class of sites with an affinity constant (Kd) of 27 +/- 3.4 nM, and a total binding capacity (Bmax) of 1.39 +/- 0.03 pmol/mg protein. Competition experiments showed that the relative order of potency of compounds for inhibition of [3H]-DTG binding to sheep pineal membranes was as follows: trifluoperazine = DTG greater than haloperidol greater than pentazocine greater than (+)-3-PPP greater than (+/-)SKF 10,047. Some steroids (testosterone, progesterone, deoxycorticosterone) previously reported to bind to the sigma site in brain membranes were very weak inhibitors of [3H]-DTG binding in the present study. The results indicate that [3H]-DTG binding sites having the characteristics of sigma receptors are present in sheep pineal gland. The physiological importance of these sites in regulating the synthesis of the pineal hormone melatonin awaits further study. 相似文献

Comparison of the Effects of Ions and GTP on Substance P Binding to Membrane-Bound and Solubilized Specific Sites 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Mg2+ increased but Na+ and GTP decrease [3H]substance P (SP) binding to rat cerebral cortical membranes and to 10 mM 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilized membrane fraction. To determine the binding parameters that are modified by the cations and GTP, inhibition experiments of [3H]SP binding by unlabeled SP were performed in both of the preparations. Nonlinear least-squares regression analysis of data in the membrane fraction indicated that optimal fitting of the inhibition curves in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2 was attained with a two-site model, corresponding to a "high-affinity (H)" and a "low-affinity (L)" state. By omitting MgCl2, or by addition of NaCl and GTP, the [3H]SP specific binding was decreased, the H state disappeared, and the L state and a new "super-low affinity (SL)" state observed. The SP/[3H]SP inhibition curves in the cerebral cortical membranes by in vivo treatment with pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein) were similar to that in the presence of GTP in control membranes. The effects of MgCl2, NaCl, and GTP were greater in the CHAPS-solubilized fraction than in the membrane fraction. In contrast to the membrane fraction, the inhibition curves of [3H]SP binding by unlabeled SP in the presence of MgCl2 in the CHAPS-solubilized fraction were best fitted to a one-site model. The KD value was relatively close to that of the low-affinity state in the membrane fraction. Even with the addition of NaCl or GTP, or by reducing MgCl2 concentration to 1 mM, although the inhibition curves consistently fit the one-site model, the KD values changed only slightly. 相似文献

Regulation of thyrotropin-releasing hormone binding by monovalent cations and guanyl nucleotides 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Binding of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) to specific receptors on membranes isolated from GH4C1 pituitary cells was inhibited by monovalent cations and guanyl nucleotides. NaCl and LiCl inhibited TRH binding by 70%, with half-maximal inhibition at 30 mM; RbCl and KCl inhibited only 10% at concentrations up to 150 mM. NaCl decreased both the apparent number and the affinity of TRH receptors and increased the rate of dissociation of TRH from both membrane and Triton X-100-solubilized receptors. Guanyl nucleotides inhibited TRH binding up to 80%, with guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) approximately GTP much greater than GDP approximately ATP greater than GMP. GTP and Gpp(NH)p exerted half-maximal effects at 0.3 microM and decreased receptor affinity to one-third of control but did not change receptor number. Gpp(NH)p accelerated the dissociation of TRH from membranes but not from solubilized receptors. The effects of NaCl were independent of temperature, while GTP and Gpp(NH)p were much more inhibitory at 22 degrees C (70%) than at 0 degrees C (10%). Inhibition by NaCl could be reversed by washing the membranes, and inhibition by GTP was reversed if membranes were chilled to 0 degrees C. The inhibitory effects of low concentrations of NaCl and Gpp(NH)p were additive. Neither monovalent cations nor GTP prevented the TRH-receptor complex from undergoing transformation from a state with rapid dissociation kinetics to a slower dissociating form. The results suggest that sodium ion regulates TRH binding by interacting with a site on the receptor, while guanyl nucleotides regulate TRH binding indirectly. 相似文献

Elongation factor (EF) Tu promotes the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the acceptor site of the ribosome. This process requires the formation of a ternary complex (EF-Tu.GTP.aa-tRNA). EF-Tu is released from the ribosome as an EF-Tu.GDP complex. Exchange of GDP for GTP is carried out through the formation of a complex with EF-Ts (EF-Tu.Ts). Mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu (EF-Tu(mt)) differs from the corresponding prokaryotic factors in having a much lower affinity for guanine nucleotides. To further understand the EF-Tu(mt) subcycle, the dissociation constants for the release of aa-tRNA from the ternary complex (K(tRNA)) and for the dissociation of the EF-Tu.Ts(mt) complex (K(Ts)) were investigated. The equilibrium dissociation constant for the ternary complex was 18 +/- 4 nm, which is close to that observed in the prokaryotic system. The kinetic dissociation rate constant for the ternary complex was 7.3 x 10(-)(4) s(-)(1), which is essentially equivalent to that observed for the ternary complex in Escherichia coli. The binding of EF-Tu(mt) to EF-Ts(mt) is mutually exclusive with the formation of the ternary complex. K(Ts) was determined by quantifying the effects of increasing concentrations of EF-Ts(mt) on the amount of ternary complex formed with EF-Tu(mt). The value obtained for K(Ts) (5.5 +/- 1.3 nm) is comparable to the value of K(tRNA). 相似文献

Two kinds of ATP binding sites were found to exist on the ATPase molecule. One was the catalytic site (1 mol/mol phosphorylation site) and its apparent dissociation constant for ATP was about 1 microM. The other was the regulatory site(s) and its apparent dissociation constant for ATP was equal to or higher than about 0.2 mM. The affinities of both sites for AMPPNP were three times lower than those for ATP. The affinity of the ATPase for ATP was reduced by the addition of KCl, but unaffected by the addition of NaCl. As thermodynamically expected, the affinity of the Na+-binding sites for Na+ ions was almost completely unaffected by the addition of ATP, which markedly decreased that of the K+-binding sites for K+ and Rb+ ions. In the absence of KCl, Na+ ions were bound very rapidly to the Na+-binding sites [(1979) J. Biochem. 86, 509--523]. However, Na+ ions were bound very slowly to the enzyme preincubated with 50 microM KCl, and the Na+ binding was markedly accelerated by the addition of ATP or AMPPNP at concentrations much higher than several microM. On the other hand, in the presence of 50 microM KCl, 1 mol of ATP was bound to the catalytic site with the same dissociation constant as that in the absence of KCl, and another 1 mol of ATP bound with a dissociation constant of about 0.1 mM. Therefore, we concluded that the Na+ binding to the enzyme in a K+ form is markedly accelerated by the binding at ATP to the regulatory site. 相似文献

The specific binding of L-N6-[3H]phenylisopropyladenosine (L-[3H]PIA) to solubilized receptors from rat brain membranes was studied. The interaction of these receptors with relatively low concentrations of L-[3H]PIA (0.5-12.0 nM) in the presence of Mg2+ showed the existence of two binding sites for this agonist, with respective dissociation constant (KD) values of 0.24 and 3.56 nM and respective receptor number (Bmax) values of 0.28 +/- 0.03 and 0.66 +/- 0.05 pmol/mg of protein. In the presence of GTP, the binding of L-[3H]PIA also showed two sites with KD values of 24.7 and 811.5 nM and Bmax values of 0.27 +/- 0.09 and 0.93 +/- 0.28 pmol/mg of protein for the first and the second binding site, respectively. Inhibition of specific L-[3H]PIA binding by 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine (DPCPX) (0.1-300 nM) performed with the same preparations revealed two DPCPX binding sites with Ki values of 0.29 and 13.5 nM, respectively. [3H]DPCPX saturation binding experiments also showed two binding sites with respective KD values of 0.81 and 10.7 nM and respective Bmax values of 0.19 +/- 0.02 and 0.74 +/- 0.06 pmol/mg of protein. The results suggest that solubilized membranes from rat brain possess two adenosine receptor subtypes: one of high affinity with characteristics of the A1 subtype and another with lower affinity with characteristics of the A3 subtype of adenosine receptor. 相似文献

Membrane fractions from the guinea pig lung had high- and low-affinity binding sites for LTD4 with Kd values of 0.016 and 9.1 nM, respectively. In the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) or by prior treatment of the membrane with islet-activating protein (IAP), the high-affinity site shifted to a low-affinity state. Consistently, a 41-kDa protein was ADP-ribosylated by treatment of the lung membranes with IAP, and this event was inhibited by the addition of GTP gamma S. We solubilized the LTD4 receptor from the lung membranes in an active form with 5 mM 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and 10% glycerol. On a gel filtration column, the binding activity was eluted at the volume corresponding to a Mr of 70,000 or over 500,000 in the presence or absence of Mg2+ (5-20 mM), respectively, in solubilizing buffers. The Kd value of [3H]LTD4 binding to the 70-kDa protein was similar to the low-affinity binding constant of the membrane and was insensitive to GTP gamma S. The preparation solubilized in the absence of Mg2+ showed both high- and low-affinity binding sites for LTD4, and the addition of GTP gamma S shifted the high-affinity site to a low-affinity one. Thus, 1) the LTD4 receptor is coupled to an IAP-sensitive GTP-binding protein, 2) this GTP-binding protein is dissociable from the receptor by solubilizing the lung membrane with CHAPS and Mg2+, and 3) the receptor associated to or dissociated from a GTP-binding protein exhibited a high- or low-affinity state, respectively. These data provide an insight into the molecular mechanism of regulation of the LTD4 receptor signaling process by association and dissociation with an IAP-sensitive GTP-binding protein. 相似文献

Solubilization and partial characterization of the sex hormone-binding globulin receptor from human prostate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) receptor was solubilized from the membranes of human prostate glands with the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonic acid). The binding activity of the soluble receptor was measured by allowing it to bind to 125I-SHBG and precipitating the complex with polyethylene glycol-8000. The binding activity was stable for at least 4 months at -20 degrees C and had a half-life of 23 days at 4 degrees C. Like the membrane-bound receptor, Scatchard analysis revealed two sets of binding sites for the soluble one. At equilibrium (24 h), the high affinity site had an association constant (KA) of 6.8 x 10(8) M-1 and a binding capacity of 1.4 pmol/mg protein, whereas the low affinity site had a KA of 4.7 x 10(6) M-1 and a binding capacity of 43 pmol/mg protein. At 37 degrees C, the association rate constant (k1) was 8.37 x 10(5) M-1 min-1 and the dissociation rate constant (k2) was 3.43 x 10(-4) min-1. The soluble receptor was retarded on Sepharose CL-6B and had an apparent Mr = 167,000. 相似文献

Nodulisporic acid opens insect glutamate-gated chloride channels: identification of a new high affinity modulator 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Nodulisporic acid (NA) is an indole diterpene fungal product with insecticidal activity. NA activates a glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) in grasshopper neurons and potentiates channel opening by glutamate. The endectocide ivermectin (IVM) induces a similar, but larger current than NA. Using Drosophila melanogaster head membranes, a high affinity binding site for NA was identified. Equilibrium binding studies show that an amide analogue, N-(2-hydroxyethyl-2,2-(3)H)nodulisporamide ([(3)H]NAmide), binds to a single population of sites in head membranes with a K(D) of 12 pM and a B(max) of 1.4 pmol/mg of protein. A similar K(D) is determined from the kinetics of ligand binding and dissociation. Four lines of evidence indicate that the binding site is a GluCl. First, NA potentiates opening of a glutamate-gated chloride current in grasshopper neurons. Second, glutamate inhibits the binding of [(3)H]NAmide by increasing the rate of dissociation 3-fold. Third, IVM potently inhibits the binding of [(3)H]NAmide and IVM binds to GluCls. Finally, the binding of [(3)H]IVM is inhibited by NA. The B(max) of [(3)H]IVM is twice that of [(3)H]NAmide, and about half of the [(3)H]IVM binding sites are inhibited by NA with high affinity (K(I) = 25 pM). In contrast, [(3)H]IVM binding to Caenorhabditis elegans membranes is not inhibited by NA at 100 nM, and there are no high affinity binding sites for NA on these membranes. Thus, half of the Drosophila IVM receptors and all of the NA receptors are associated with GluCl. NA distinguishes between nematode and insect GluCls and identifies subpopulations of IVM binding sites. 相似文献

The regulation by monovalent cations, guanine nucleotides, and bacterial toxins of [3H]FMLP binding to rabbit neutrophil plasma membranes was studied by using dissociation techniques to identify regulatory effects on separate receptor states. Under conditions of low receptor occupancy (1 nM [3H]FMLP) and in both Na+ and K+ buffers, dissociation is heterogenous, displaying two distinct, statistically significant off rates. [3H]FMLP binding was enhanced by substituting other monovalent cations for Na+. In particular, enhanced binding in the presence of K+ relative to Na+ was caused by additional binding to both rapidly and slowly dissociating receptors. Three receptor dissociation rates, two of which appear to correspond to the two affinity states detected in equilibrium binding studies, were defined by specific GTP and pertussis toxin (PT) treatments. Neither GTP, nor PT or cholera toxins (CT) had an effect on the rate of dissociation of [3H]FMLP from the rapidly dissociating form of the receptor. Both 100 microM GTP and PT treatments increased the percentage of rapidly dissociating receptors, correspondingly decreasing the percentage of slowly dissociating receptors. The observed changes in the rapidly and slowly dissociating receptors after GTP, PT, and CT treatments were caused by an absolute decrease in the amount of binding to the slowly dissociating receptors. However, complete inhibition of slowly dissociating receptor binding by GTP, PT, or both was never observed. Both GTP and PT treatments, but not CT treatment, increased by two-fold the rate of dissociation of 1 nM [3H]FMLP from the slowly dissociating form of the receptor, resulting in a third dissociation rate. Thus, slowly dissociating receptors comprise two different receptor states, a G protein-associated guanine nucleotide and PT-sensitive state and a guanine nucleotide-insensitive state. 相似文献

Guanine nucleotides and Mg2+ differentially regulate agonist binding to adenosine (Ri) receptors in fat-cell plasma membranes. GTP alone decreases binding of the agonist ligand [3H]N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) by increasing the dissociation constant (Kd). Mg2+ alone also decreases [3H]CHA binding, which is associated with a decrease in the number of receptors and in the dissociation constant. In the presence of Mg2+, the effect of GTP is to increase [3H]CHA binding by increasing the total number of receptors. It thus appears that Mg2+ acts specifically at a bivalent-cation site which, with GTP, regulates agonist binding. This putative Mg site is highly sensitive to alkylating agents. Mild treatment with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) abolishes the characteristic GTP effect on agonist binding in the presence of Mg2+. In addition, the effect of Mg2+ alone is also eliminated. The effect of GTP alone is largely unaltered. Studies of the adenylate cyclase activity indicate that this NEM treatment also abolishes the inhibition of basal activity by adenosine analogues, whereas guanylyl imidodiphosphate inhibition of forskolin-stimulated activity is only slightly impaired at this NEM concentration. These observations indicate that a Mg2+ 'site' or 'component' is required for the integration of receptor (Ri) occupancy with regulation of catalytic activity (C). The regulatory role of Mg2+ is more demonstrable in receptor-GTP-regulatory-protein (Ri-Ni) interactions than in GTP-regulatory-protein-catalytic-unit (Ni-C) interactions. 相似文献

Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) promotes the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the acceptor site of the ribosome. During the elongation cycle, EF-Tu interacts with guanine nucleotides, aa-tRNA and its nucleotide exchange factor (EF-Ts). Quantitative determination of the equilibrium dissociation constants that govern the interactions of mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu (EF-Tu(mt)) with guanine nucleotides was the focus of the work reported here. Equilibrium dialysis with [3H]GDP was used to measure the equilibrium dissociation constant of the EF-Tu(mt) x GDP complex (K(GDP) = 1.0 +/- 0.1 microM). Competition of GTP with a fluorescent derivative of GDP (mantGDP) for binding to EF-Tu(mt) was used to measure the dissociation constant of the EF-Tu(mt) x GTP complex (K(GTP) = 18 +/- 9 microM). The analysis of these data required information on the dissociation constant of the EF-Tu(mt) x mantGDP complex (K(mGDP) = 2.0 +/- 0.5 microM), which was measured by equilibrium dialysis. Both K(GDP) and K(GTP) for EF-Tu(mt) are quite different (about two orders of magnitude higher) than the dissociation constants of the corresponding complexes formed by Escherichia coli EF-Tu. The forward and reverse rate constants for the association and dissociation of the EF-Tu(mt) x GDP complex were determined using the change in the fluorescence of mantGDP upon interaction with EF-Tu(mt). These values are in agreement with a simple equilibrium binding interaction between EF-Tu(mt) and GDP. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the recently described crystal structure of the EF-Tu(mt) x GDP complex. 相似文献

Rat ovarian angiotensin II receptors. Characterization and coupling to estrogen secretion 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Angiotensin II receptor agonist (125I-angiotensin II) and antagonist (125I-[Sar1,Ile8]angiotensin II) bind in a specific and saturable manner to rat ovarian membranes. Agonist and antagonist binding affinity (KD approximately 0.5 nM) and the number of sites estimated (Bmax approximately 60 fmol/mg of protein) were similar. Dissociation of receptor-bound agonist was more rapid than the dissociation of receptor-bound antagonist, and agonist, but not antagonist, dissociation from the receptor was accelerated by GTP gamma S. A 0-150 mM increase in Na+ produced a 27% increase in the KD of agonist binding. Antagonist binding was not modified by Na+. These studies suggest that both agonist and antagonist identify putative angiotensin II receptors in the ovary but that the properties of agonist and antagonist binding are distinct. Angiotensin II antagonist binding sites are present on the granulosa cell layer of rat ovarian follicles (Speth, R. C., Bumpus, F. M., and Husain, A. (1986) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 130, 351-352). To determine the role of angiotensin II in ovarian function, we examined angiotensin II receptors and function during the onset of puberty. High affinity and low capacity angiotensin II receptors were present in ovaries from immature rats. After pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin induced ovulation in immature rats, antagonist binding to total ovarian membranes increased over 3-fold. In vitro incubation of peripubertal ovaries with 1 microM angiotensin II produced a stimulation of estrogen, but not progesterone, secretion. This steroidogenic effect of angiotensin II was most pronounced in the luteal phase of the estrus cycle. These studies point toward the involvement of angiotensin II in the regulation of ovarian function, possibly through modulation of follicular estrogen levels. 相似文献

Photoaffinity labeling of the tetrabenazine binding sites of bovine chromaffin granule membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An azido derivative of tetrabenazine, a specific inhibitor of the monoamine carrier of chromaffin granule membranes, has been synthesized. In the dark, this compound, 3H-labeled N-(3-isobutyl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-11bH-benzo [a]quinolizin-2-yl)-4-[(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]butanamide+ ++ ([3H]TBA), bound reversibly to purified chromaffin granule membranes. Centrifugation through SP-Sephadex columns was used to separate bound and free [3H]TBA. This technique gave low levels of nonspecific binding and allowed recovery of [3H]TBA-membrane complexes. Scatchard analysis of the data indicated one class of sites with an equilibrium dissociation constant KD of 50 nM and a density of sites of 40-50 pmol/mg of protein, consistent with reported densities of reserpine and dihydrotetrabenazine binding sites. Competition experiments showed that TBA and tetrabenazine bound to the same site. Irradiation at 435 nm of [3H]TBA-membrane mixtures induced some irreversible binding of the probe to membranes. After irreversible binding of TBA, the number of dihydrotetrabenazine binding sites was decreased, indicating that the probe was covalently bound to the monoamine carrier. [3H]TBA-membrane complexes isolated by centrifugation through SP-Sephadex columns were irradiated, and their radioactivity was analyzed by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels. A polypeptide with a molecular weight of 70 000 was labeled. This polypeptide was different from dopamine beta-hydroxylase, and it was not adsorbed on concanavalin A-Sepharose. It is proposed that the monoamine carrier of chromaffin granule membrane has an oligomeric structure, involving a 45K subunit [Gabizon, R., Yetinson, T., & Schuldiner, S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 15145] and a 70K subunit. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to simultaneously isolate skeletal muscle plasma and microsomal membranes from the hind limbs of male Sprague-Dawley rats perfused either in the absence or presence of 20 milliunits/ml insulin and to determine the effect of insulin on the number and distribution of glucose transporters in these membrane fractions. Insulin increased hind limb glucose uptake greater than 3-fold (2.4 +/- 0.7 versus 9.2 +/- 1.0 mumol/g x h, p less than 0.001). Plasma membrane glucose transporter number, measured by cytochalasin B binding, increased 2-fold (9.1 +/- 1.0 to 20.4 +/- 3.1 pmol/mg protein, p less than 0.005) in insulin-stimulated muscle while microsomal membrane transporters decreased significantly (14.8 +/- 1.6 to 9.8 +/- 1.4 pmol/mg protein, p less than 0.05). No change in the dissociation constant (Kd approximately 120 nm) was observed. K+-stimulated-p-nitrophenol phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, and galactosyltransferase specific activity, enrichment, and recovery in the plasma and microsomal membrane fractions were not altered by insulin treatment. Western blot analysis using the monoclonal antibody mAb 1F8 (specific for the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter) demonstrated increased glucose transporter densities in plasma membranes from insulin-treated hind limb skeletal muscle compared with untreated tissues, while microsomal membranes from the insulin-treated hind limb skeletal muscle had a concomitant decrease in transporter density. We conclude that the increase in plasma membrane glucose transporters explains, at least in part, the increase in glucose uptake associated with insulin stimulation of hind limb skeletal muscle. Our data further suggest that these recruited transporters originate from an intracellular microsomal pool, consistent with the translocation hypothesis. 相似文献

1. Guanylate cyclase of washed particles and plasma membranes showed S-shaped progress curves when titrated with either GTP or Mn2+ ions; similar results were obtained with Triton X-100-solubilized enzyme preparation from washed particles. Hill plots of these data revealed multiple metal-nucleotide and free-metal binding sites. 2. Guanylate cyclase of supernatant fractions displayed typical Michaelis-Menten properties when enzyme required excess of (free) Mn2+ (over GTP) for maximal activities; Ka (free Mn2+) was about 0.15-0.25 mM at subsaturating concentrations of GTP. 4 MnATP, MnADP, and MnGDP were found to increase the activities of both particulate and superantant enzyme, when MnGTP concentration was below saturation and free Mn2+ ion concentration was low (less than 100 muM); MnATP (50muM-1 mM) inhibited both these activities at high free Mn2+ concentration (1.5 mM) and inhibition of the particulate enzyme was greater than that of supernatant enzyme. 5. Ca2+ ions stimulated supernatant-enzyme activity; the stimulatory concentration of Ca2+ ions depended on the concentration of Mn2+ and GTP. 6. A modest stimulation of particulate guanylate cyclase by pyrophosphate (0.02-1 mM) was observed; the pyrophosphate effect appeared to be competitive with respect to GTP. At a higher concentration (2 mM), pyrophosphate produced a marked inhibition of particulate enzyme; the nature of inhibitory effect appeared complex. 7. Inorganic salts (e.g. NaCl, KCl, LiBr, NaF) produced inhibition of particulate enzyme; the degree of inhibition of Triton X-100-stimulated activity was less than that of unstimulated activity. 9. Treatment of sarcolemmal or microsomal membranes with either phospholipase C or trypsin decreased, whereas phospholipase A increased, the activity of guanylate cyclase. 相似文献
