Epinephrine-sensitive adenylate cyclase of human fat cell ghosts. Modulation of enzyme activity by GTP 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Some of the effects of GTP on human fat cell adenylate cyclase activity were studied. This nucleotide caused a dose-dependent inhibition of basal activity without affecting the hormone-activated rate of cAMP formation. Maximal effects were observed at GTP-concentrations of about 1 x 10(-4) M. The relative extent of hormonal stimulation was about 1.5-fold increased in the presence of 0.1 mM GTP. 相似文献

GTP evoked both an activatory and an inhibitory response from adipocyte adenylate cyclase. This paper describes the persistence of the bimodal response under a variety of assay conditions. Additionally, manipulations are described which eliminate one or other of these actions. Treatment of adipocyte plasma membranes with cholera toxin A1 peptide and NAD+ abolishes the inhibitory phase of GTP action while preserving the activating phase. Treatment of the membranes with p-hydroxymercuriphenylsulfonic acid eliminates the activatory phase while maintaining the inhibitory processes mediated by GTP in adipocytes normally coexist and operate through different pathways since either phase can be abolished leaving the other intact. Adenosine and its purine-modified analogs inhibit fat cell adenylate cyclase in the GTP inhibitory phase (Londos, C., Cooper, D. M. F., Schlegel, W., and Rodbell, M. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 5362-5366). When this effect of GTP is abolished by either cholera toxin or Gpp(NH)p pretreatment, the inhibitory action of adenosine analogs is also lost. These data suggest a central role for GTP in mediating both activation and inhibition of adenylate cyclase by agents which act through cell surface receptors. 相似文献

GTP and hormones activate, synergistically, adenylate cyclase in purified plasma membranes from rat adipocytes. Addition of chelating reagents (EDTA or ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) or thiol-reducing reagents (dithiothreitol or 2-mercaptoethanol) results in marked inhibition of enzyme activity without altering the synergistic stimulatory effects of GTP and hormones. The inhibitory effects of the reagents required the presence of GTP, indicating that inhibition involves a GTP-dependent process. This process is separate from the GTP-dependent process responsible for activation of the enzyme since it is selectively abolished by pretreatment of fat cell membranes with trypsin. It is suggested that inhibition and activation of fat cell adenylate cyclase by GTP occur through distinct regulatory processes. 相似文献

Arginine vasopressin (AVP)- and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-sensitive adenylate cyclase were studied in the renal tissue of thyroparathyroidectomized dogs. The results indicate that AVP-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity was highest in the inner medulla followed by the middle medulla, outer medulla, and cortex, in declining order. In contrast, PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase was absent in the inner medulla, and the highest stimulation was found in the cortex with lesser activity in outer and middle medulla. When 1 mm EGTA was included in the incubation mixture, the addition of both AVP- and PTH to the middle medullary homogenate resulted in additive responses suggesting two separate receptors for each hormone. This EGTA-induced additive effect was eliminated by the addition of calcium into the system, indicating that calcium concentration may be critical in modulating the interaction of AVP and PTH-sensitive adenylate cyclase. In contrast to some previous reports, a particulate fraction prepared from the middle medullary tissue was completely insensitive to either AVP or PTH. Hormonal sensitivity was restored by the addition of GTP or the supernatant. 相似文献

An attempt is made to integrate the knowledge on the role of hormones and guanyl nucleotides in regulating adenylate cyclase into a single molecular model. It is suggested that the hormone catalyzes the activation of the enzyme adenylate cyclase by facilitating the conversion of the enzyme from its inactive state to its active form. The hormone is also responsible for the termination of the signal namely the deactivation of the enzyme by inducing the hydrolysis of GTP at its regulatory site. The relative rates of these two processes determine the steady state concentration of the active form of the enzyme. The model also explains the difference in behaviour between GTP and its non-hydrolyzable analogs GppNHp and GTPγS. 相似文献

The effects of the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist methoxamine and the alpha 2-adrenergic agonist clonidine on isoproterenol stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were examined in plasma membranes prepared from female human subcutaneous adipose tissue. It was found that in the presence of 10 microM GTP and 100 mM NaCl increasing concentrations of both agonists inhibited basal and isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The inhibitory action of 5 x 10(-7) M clonidine could not be overcome by increasing concentrations of isoproterenol. These results suggest both alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenergic agonists inhibit beta-agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in human adipose tissue. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase activation by GTP analogs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Benznidazole (a nitroimidazole derivative used for the treatment of Chagas' disease) is reduced by rat liver microsomes to the nitro anion radical, as indicated by ESR spectroscopy. Addition of benznidazole to rat liver microsomes produced an increase of electron flow from NADPH to molecular oxygen, and generation of both superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. The benznidazole-stimulated O2 consumption and O2? formation was greatly inhibited by NADP+ and p-chloromercuribenzoate but not by SKF-525-A and metyrapone. The former inhibitions indicated the involvement of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (c) reductase, while the lack of inhibition by SKF-525-A and metyrapone ruled out any major role for cytochrome P-450 in benznidazole reduction. In contrast to nifurtimox, a nitrofuran derivative (R. Docampo and A. O. M. Stoppani, 1979, Arch. Biochem. Biophys.197, 317–321), benznidazole was not reduced to the nitro anion radical, nor did it stimulate oxygen consumption, O2? production, and H2O2 generation by Trypanosoma cruzi cells or microsomal fractions. A different mechanism of benznidazole toxicity in T. cruzi and the mammalian host is postulated. 相似文献

The effects of ribo- and deoxyribonucleic acids on the activity of detergent-dispersed adenylate cyclases from rat and bovine brain were examined. Mn2+ (10 mM)-activated adenylate cyclase was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of poly(A) (IC50 congruent to 0.45 microM). This inhibition was directly due to poly(A) and was not mediated by: (a) protein contamination of the poly(A) preparation, (b) metal chelation, (c) formation of an acid-soluble inhibitor of adenylate cyclase, (d) effects on the specific activity of [alpha-32P]ATP, (e) competition with MnATP for binding to adenylate cyclase, or (f) diversion of substrate to an alternate polymerase reaction. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by poly(A) was on the enzyme's catalytic unit, as purified preparations of the enzyme from bovine brain were inhibited by poly(A). This inhibition by poly(A) was not likely mediated via the enzyme's "P"-site, through which activated forms of the enzyme are selectively inhibited by specific adenosine phosphates. In contrast with inhibition by the "P"-site agonist 3' AMP, inhibition of adenylate cyclase by poly(A) was slow in onset and was not reversible by dilution and showed a different metal-dependence. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase was relatively specific for poly(A) as poly(U) caused less than 50% inhibition and deoxyribonucleic acids had no effect. The potency and specificity of the inhibition of adenylate cyclase by poly(A) imply a biochemically interesting interaction that is possibly also of physiological significance. 相似文献

The ability of 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) to stimulate irreversibly the adenylate cyclease activity of fat cell membranes has been studied by preincubating the membranes with this or related analogs followed by assaying after thoroughly washing the membranes. Activation can occur in a simple Tris-HCl buffer, in the absence of added divalent cations and in the presence of EDTA. Dithiothreitol enhances the apparent degree of activation, perhaps by stabilization. The importance of utilizing optimal conditions for stabilizing enzyme activity, and of measuring the simultaneous changes in the control enzyme, is illustrated. The organomercurial, p-aminophenylmercuric acetate, inhibits profoundly the activity of the native as well as the Gpp(NH)p-stimulated adenylate cyclase, but in both cases subsequent exposure to dithiothreitol restores fully the original enzyme activity. However, the mercurial-inactivated enzyme does not react with Gpp(NP)p, as evidenced by the subsequent restoration of only the control enzyme activity upon exposure to dithiothreitol. Thus, reaction with Gpp(NH)p requires intact sulfhydryl groups, but the activated state is not irreversibly destroyed by the inactivation caused by sulfhydryl blockade. GTP and, less effectively, GDP and ATP inhibit activation by Gpp(NH)p, but interpretations are complicated by the facts that this inhibition is overcome with time and that GTP and ATP can protect potently from spontaneous inactivation. These two nucleotides can be used in the Gpp(NH)p preincubation to stabilize the enzyme. The Gpp(NH)p-activated enzyme cannot be reversed spontaneously during prolonged incubation at 30 degrees C in the absence or presence of GTP, ATP, MgCl2, glycine, dithiothreitol, NaF or EDTA. The strong nucleophile, neutral hydroxylamine, decreases the Gpp(NH)p-activated enzyme activity and no subsequent activation is detected upon re-exposure to the nucleotide. 相似文献

Choleragen activates adenylate cyclase in human skin fibroblasts by catalyzing the ADP-ribosylation of the 42,000 and 47,000 dalton guanyl nucleotide-binding regulatory components (G) of adenylate cyclase. The ADP-ribose linkage to 42,000 and 47,000 dalton proteins was stable at 30°C for 1 h with or without GTP, whereas GTP was required to stabilize activity of the G proteins. In human erythrocytes, choleragen catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of only a 42,000 dalton G. The ADP-ribosyl-protein linkage was stable for 1 h at 30°C whether or not GTP was present, despite a rapid loss of G activity in the absence of GTP. Inactivation of choleragen-activated G in both the human fibroblast and human erythrocyte is, therefore, not secondary to the de-ADP-ribosylation of specifically labeled G subunits. 相似文献

Phorbol myristate acetate, a tumor promoter and lymphocyte mitogen, inhibits isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Catalase and superoxide dismutase and depletion of macrophages from the cell preparations reversed this inhibitory effect. Phorbol myristate acetate did not inhibit isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase in purified T-cells or in membrane preparation from turkey erythrocytes. Thus, inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity by phorbol myristate acetate in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells is an indirect effect resulting from production of oxy radicals by activated macrophages. 相似文献

We have examined the characteristics of the adenylate cyclase system from control and butyrate-treated cells. Butyrate treatment results in both an increased number of catecholamine receptors and an induction of a response to the hormone, as reported previously (Tallman, J.F., Smith, C.C., and Henneberry, R.C. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 873-877); in addition, we found that the same treatment reduces the degree of activation of adenylate cyclase by GTP. We have demonstrated in two cell types that this decrease in GTP activation is inversely related to the degree of induction of the hormone response. Furthermore, in plasma membranes isolated from butyrate-treated cells, the hormone receptor is sensitive to GTP; i.e. GTP reduces the affinity of isoproterenol for the receptor. We propose that these changes reflect an interaction between the beta-adrenergic receptor and the nucleotide regulatory component and that this interaction represents, at least in part, the process of coupling. Several possible mechanisms which can account for the change in GTP activation are discussed in terms of our current understanding of the regulation of the adenylate cyclase system. 相似文献

In rat adrenal dispersed cells, both vanadyl and vanadate inhibited ACTH-stimulated steroidogenesis and the formation of cAMP, whereas these compounds did not inhibit the cAMP-dependent steroidogenesis. Then, the membrane fraction was prepared and activated by various secretagogues including ACTH, Gpp(NH)p, GTP gamma S, and forskolin. The cyclase activity was inhibited by vanadyl but not by vanadate in the presence of these stimulators. Based on these results, we conclude that cationic vanadyl acts against a metal-requiring step in the adenylate cyclase system containing G-protein and the catalytic subunit. In addition, we believe that vanadyl is a useful tool to investigate adenylate cyclase systems. 相似文献
