Abstract: Two molecular mass subtypes of muscarinic receptor are expressed by the chick retina (72 and 86 kDa). During development, the ratio of subtypes changes, with the 72-kDa form becoming predominant. We have found that subtype switch can occur in retina cell culture, and have investigated factors that influence this in vitro increase in the 72-kDa receptor. Increases similar to those in vivo occurred when cells were cultured at 105 cells/cm2 , but not at 10-fold lower density. High-density cultures, maintained on coverslips, showed no receptor development when transferred to large volumes of fresh medium, indicating that cell-cell contact alone was not responsible for induction. However, replacement of fresh medium with conditioned medium (from high-density cultures) resulted in normal induction. There were no morphological differences between cultures with high and low levels of the 72-kDa receptor. Conditioned medium also induced 72-kDa receptors in low-density cultures, consistent with a minimal role for cell-cell contact. Efficacy of conditioned medium was markedly dependent on age. Media from cells cultured 1–4 days had no effect, but media from cells cultured 5–8 and 1–8 days elicited 1.6-fold and fourfold increases in the 72-kDa subtype, respectively. The data indicate that maturing retina cells secrete developmentally regulated factors that are necessary for abundant expression of the 72-kDa muscarinic receptor subtype. 相似文献

The photoaffinity probe [125I]aryl azidoprazosin was used to examine structural aspects of rat left ventricular alpha 1-adrenergic receptor. Autoradiography of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-resolved proteins from photoaffinity-labeled membranes revealed a specifically labeled protein of mass 77 kDa. Adrenergic drugs competed with the photoaffinity probe for binding to the receptor in a manner expected of an alpha 1-adrenergic antagonist. Because the autoradiographic pattern was unaltered by incubating labeled membranes in gel sample buffer containing high concentrations of reducing agents, the binding component of the cardiac alpha 1-adrenergic receptor appears to be a single polypeptide chain. The photoaffinity probe specifically labeled a single protein of approximately 68 kDa in membranes of cardiac myocytes prepared from rat left ventricles. The role played by sulfhydryls in receptor structure and function was also studied. Dithiothreitol (DTT) inhibited [3H]prazosin binding to left ventricular membranes and altered both the equilibrium dissociation constant and maximal number of [3H]prazosin-binding sites but not the ability of the guanine nucleotide guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate to decrease agonist affinity for the receptors. When photoaffinity-labeled membranes were incubated with 40 mM DTT for 30 min at room temperature, two specifically labeled proteins of 77 and 68 kDa were identified. The DTT-induced conversion of the 77-kDa protein to 68 kDa was irreversible with washing, but the effect of DTT on [3H]prazosin binding was reversible. Both 77- and 68-kDa proteins were observed with liver membranes even in the absence of reducing agent. We suggest that the DTT-induced conversion of the 77-kDa protein to 68 kDa is due to enhancement in protease activity by the reductant. These results document that the cardiac alpha 1-adrenergic receptor is a 77-kDa protein, similar in mass to the receptor in liver and other sites. Proteolysis likely accounts for lower Mr forms of this receptor found in cardiac myocytes and in previous publications on hepatic alpha 1-receptors. 相似文献

In this study, the effects of Ca(2+)-activated neutral protease (CANP) upon skeletal muscle heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) structure and function were investigated. CANP was immunolocalized to the 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid detergent-insoluble fraction of purified HSR membranes. Ca2+ activation of the endogenous membrane-bound CANP produced a characteristic partial fragmentation of the HSR 565-kDa Ca2+ release channel. Similarly, the major substrate for both micromolar and millimolar Ca(2+)-sensitive isoforms of exogenous CANP was the Ca2+ release channel with proteolysis of a 88-kDa HSR protein also observed. Ca2+ release channel proteolysis was initiated at a single cleavage site with coincidental production of 410- and 150-kDa peptide fragments. Appearance of 160- and 137-kDa limiting peptides accompanied secondary proteolysis of the primary 410- and 150-kDa fragments, respectively. Despite extensive proteolysis of the Ca2+ release channel, CANP did not dramatically alter the Ca2+ handling and ryanodine binding properties of HSR membranes. The association of CANP with isolated HSR membranes suggests that, in vivo, this protease may modify an additional property of the Ca2+ release channel. This may be related to the CANP-susceptible structural association of the Ca2+ release channel with dihydropyridine receptors at T-tubule/sarcoplasmic reticulum junctions. 相似文献

Insulin receptor-specific polyclonal antipeptide serum was generated against a synthetic pentadecapeptide (residues 657-670) of the deduced amino acid sequence of human insulin proreceptor cDNA for use in the analysis of insulin receptors in the retina. The affinity-purified antibodies recognized peptide antigen but not keyhole limpet hemocyanin as determined by dot blot analysis and solid phase radioimmunoassay. Addition of either synthetic peptide or the affinity-purified serum had no effect on 125I-insulin binding to placental membranes or to cells in culture. alpha-Subunits of approximately 125 kDa from human placental membranes and liver membranes were labeled by immunoblot analysis with this antiserum. In membranes isolated from human retina and brain, two classes of alpha-subunits of approximately 125 and 115 kDa were detectable. The 115-kDa subunit was neuraminidase resistant whereas the 125-kDa subunit was digested to a band of 115 kDa, indicating that these bands represent peripheral and neuronal receptors, respectively. Analysis of human retinas obtained from type I diabetic donors revealed an increased level of neuronal receptor as compared with normal retinas. These data indicate that human retina expresses neuronal insulin receptor subtypes that are up-regulated in diabetes. 相似文献

The dynamics of the internalization of photoaffinity-labelled insulin-receptor complexes was investigated in isolated rat adipocytes by using tryptic proteolysis to probe both the orientation and cellular location of the labelled complexes. In cells that were labelled at 16 degrees C and not prewarmed, 150 micrograms of trypsin/ml rapidly degraded the labelled 125 kDa insulin-receptor subunit into a major proteolytic fragment of 70 kDa and minor amounts of 90- and 50-kDa fragments. With milder trypsin treatment conditions (100 micrograms of trypsin/ml, 15 s at 37 degrees C), the 90 kDa peptide (different from the 90 kDa beta-subunit of the insulin receptor) appeared as a major intermediate proteolytic product, but this species was rapidly and completely converted into the 70- and 50-kDa fragments with continued exposure to trypsin, such that it did not accumulate to appreciable amounts in cells that were not prewarmed before trypsin exposure. By contrast, trypsin treatment of cells prewarmed to 37 degrees C for various times showed that: first, a proportion of the labelled 125 kDa receptors was internalized (became trypsin-insensitive); secondly, the 90 kDa tryptic peptide was formed in large amounts, with proportionate decreases occurring in the amounts of the 70- and 50-kDa tryptic peptides. The increased accumulation of the 90 kDa tryptic peptide from cells preincubated at 37 degrees C, but not at 16 degrees C, indicated that trypsin cleavage sites within the 90 kDa segment of the insulin-receptor alpha-subunit that were exposed at 16 degrees C were made inaccessible by incubation at 37 degrees C, a finding that is consistent with generation of a cryptic domain of the receptor subunit. The tryptic generation of the 90 kDa peptide at 37 degrees C was rapid, becoming half-maximal in 4.4 +/- 0.6 min and maximal in 15-20 min, preceded the intracellular accumulation of labelled receptors (half-maximal in 12.6 +/- 0.7 min and maximal in 30-40 min), was highly correlated with receptor internalization, and was not observed in cultured IM-9 lymphocytes, a cell line in which photolabelled insulin receptors are primarily lost by shedding into the incubation media. These results show that, in adipocytes incubated at 37 degrees C, rapid masking of a previously (at 16 degrees C) accessible domain of the insulin-receptor alpha-subunit occurs and that this dynamic process happens at an early stage in the internalization of insulin-receptor complexes. 相似文献

The 165-kDa peptide of the purified skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor contains the known regulatory sites of the calcium channel 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The dihydropyridine receptor purified from rabbit skeletal muscle yields in the presence of dithiothreitol and sodium dodecyl sulfate on polyacrylamide gels bands of apparent molecular mass 165 +/- 5, 130 +/- 5, 55 +/- 3, 32 +/- 2 and 28 +/- 1 kDa (chi +/- SEM, n = 12). Under nonreducing conditions, the 130 kDa and 28-kDa peptides migrate as a single peptide of 165 kDa. These peptides were separated on a HPLC size-exclusion column. The specific absorption coefficients of the isolated peptides were determined. From these a stoichiometry of 1:1.7 +/- 0.2:1.4 +/- 0.3 (chi +/- SEM of 12 experiments with three different preparations) was calculated for the 165-kDa, 55-kDa and 32-kDa peptides. The relative amount of the 130/28-kDa peptide varied with different preparations. Tryptic, chymotryptic and V-8 protease peptides of the isolated proteins suggested that the 130/28-kDa peptide was not related to the 165-kDa peptide. The dihydropyridine photoaffinity analog (+/-)-azidopine was specifically incorporated only into the 165-kDa peptide with an efficiency of about 2.4%. The azido analog of desmethoxyverapamil, LU 49888, was specifically incorporated into the same peptide with an efficiency of 1.5%. These results suggest that only the 165-kDa peptide contains the regulatory sites detected so far in the voltage-operated L-type calcium channel. They suggest further that the 130/28-kDa peptide, which migrates as a 165-kDa peptide under nonreducing conditions, does not contain high-affinity binding sites for the calcium channel blockers. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of calcium binding glycoproteins of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two major Ca2(+)-binding glycoproteins Mr 120,000 and 100,000 were isolated from 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid -solubilized bovine heart sarcolemma membrane. Peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin lectins bind strongly to the isolated 120- and 100-kDa glycoproteins. Treatment with endoglycosidase F resulted in conversion of the 120-kDa glycoprotein to a form migrating at about 97 kDa. Treatment of the 100-kDa band with endoglycosidase F produced form of about 80 kDa. Endoglycosidase H digestion removes only 5% of the mass of both glycoproteins. the carbohydrate structure of both glycoproteins, is therefore, predicted to be at least 75% complex structure and 25% high mannose or hybrid structure. The 120- and 100-kDa glycoproteins are the major Ca2(+)-binding proteins in the sarcolemma membranes. Intact and endoglycosidase-treated glycoproteins bind 45Ca2+ as analyzed by a 45Ca2+ overlay technique. Using polyclonal antibodies, the 120- and 100-kDa glycoproteins were identified in muscle plasma membranes (ventricles, atria, and uterus smooth muscle). They were, however, not present in non-muscle tissues such as pancreas, liver, and kidney. The 120- and 100-kDa glycoproteins appear to be homologous molecules as judged by their similar V8 protease peptide maps, cross-reactivity with polyclonal antibody, and other physicochemical properties. 相似文献

The binding of divalent metal ions to platelet factor XIII modulates its proteolysis by trypsin and thrombin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We investigated the effect of divalent metal ions on the proteolytic cleavage and activation of platelet Factor XIII by thrombin and trypsin. In the absence of metal ions (5 mM EDTA), trypsin and thrombin rapidly degraded platelet Factor XIII (80 kDa) to low-molecular-mass peptides (50-19 kDa) with simultaneous loss of transglutaminase activity. Divalent metal ions protected Factor XIII from proteolytic inactivation with an order of efficacy of Ca2+ greater than Zn2+ greater than Mg2+ greater than Mn2+. Calcium (2 mM) increased by 10- to 1000-fold the trypsin and thrombin concentrations required to degrade Factor XIII to a 19-kDa peptide. Factor XIIIa formed by thrombin in the presence of 5 mM EDTA had one-half the specific activity of Factor XIIIa formed in the presence of calcium. Factor XIII was cleaved by trypsin in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ to a 51 +/- 3-kDa fragment that had 60% of the original Factor XIIIa activity. A similar tryptic peptide formed in the presence of 5 mM EDTA did not have transglutaminase activity. In the presence of 5 mM Mg2+, thrombin cleaved Factor XIII to a major 51 +/- 3-kDa fragment that had 60% of the Factor XIIIa activity. Mn2+ (0.1-5 mM) limited trypsin and thrombin proteolysis. The resulting digest containing a population of Factor XIII fragments (50-14 kDa) expressed 50-60% transglutaminase activity of Factor XIIIa. Factor XIII was fully activated by both trypsin and thrombin in the presence of 5 mM Zn2+, resulting in two fragments of 76 and 72 kDa. We conclude that the binding of divalent metal ions to platelet Factor XIII induces conformational changes in the protein that alter its susceptibility to proteolysis and influence the expression of transglutaminase activity. 相似文献

The muscle and heart lactate dehydrogenase (LDHs) of rabbit and pig are specifically cleaved at a single position by HIV-1 protease, resulting in the conversion of 36-kDa subunits of the oligomeric enzymes into 21- and 15-kDa protein bands as analyzed by SDS-PAGE. While the proteolysis was observed at neutral pH, it became more pronounced at pH 6.0 and 5.0. The time courses of the cleavage of the 36-kDa subunits were commensurate with the time-dependent loss of both quaternary structure and enzymatic activity. These results demonstrated that deoligomerization of rabbit muscle LDH at acidic pH rendered its subunits more susceptible to proteolysis, suggesting that a partially denatured form of the enzyme was the actual substrate. Proteolytic cleavage of the rabbit muscle enzyme occurred at a decapeptide sequence, His-Gly-Trp-Ile-Leu*Gly-Glu-His-Gly-Asp (scissile bond denoted throughout by an asterisk), which constitutes a "strand-loop" element in the muscle and heart LDH structures and contains the active site histidyl residue His-193. The kinetic parameters Km, Vmax/KmEt, and Vmax/Et for rabbit muscle LDH and the synthetic decapeptide Ac-His-Gly-Trp-Ile-Leu*Gly-Glu-His-Gly-Asp-NH2 were nearly identical, suggesting that the decapeptide within the protein substrate is conformationally mobile, as would be expected for the peptide substrate in solution. Insertion of part of this decapeptide sequence into bacterial galactokinase likewise rendered this protein susceptible to proteolysis by HIV-1 protease, and site-directed mutagenesis of this peptide in galactokinase revealed that the Glu residue at the P2' was important to binding to HIV-1 protease. Crystallographic analysis of HIV-1 protease complexed with a tight-binding peptide analogue inhibitor derived from this decapeptide sequence revealed that the "strand-loop" structure of the protein substrate must adopt a beta-sheet structure upon binding to the protease. The Glu residue in the P2' position of the inhibitor likely forms hydrogen-bonding interactions with both the alpha-amide and gamma-carboxylic groups of Asp-30 in the substrate binding site. 相似文献

Proteolysis-associated deglycosylation of beta 1-adrenergic receptor in turkey erythrocytes and membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A protease that can be inhibited by glutathione, dithiothreitol, and o-phenanthroline but not by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid converts the 50-kilodalton beta-adrenergic receptor in turkey erythrocyte membranes to a 40-kDa polypeptide which retains the specific ligand binding site. This conversion is attenuated in intact erythrocytes. The large 50-kDa peptide contains N-linked, complex carbohydrates and is retained on wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose. The 40-kDa product of proteolysis does not bind to the wheat germ agglutinin and can thus be separated from the 50-kDa polypeptide by lectin chromatography. However, the large difference in molecular weights of the two receptor peptides cannot be accounted for solely by the different extent of glycosylation. 相似文献

A novel endogenous inhibitor of the proteasome (high molecular weight multicatalytic protease) has been isolated and characterized from human erythrocytes. After purification by ion-exchange and sizing chromatography, the inhibitor displayed a native molecular mass of approximately 200 kDa and contained a single subunit of 50 kDa with an isoelectric point of 6.9. Although the inhibitor noncompetitively blocks proteolysis of [methyl-14C]-alpha-casein (Ki = 7.1 x 10(-8) M) and inhibits hydrolysis of Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC, it did not affect hydrolysis of other peptide substrates, such as MeOSuc-Phe-Leu-Phe-MNA and Z-Ala-Arg-Arg-MNA. To further characterize the 50-kDa inhibitor, a monoclonal antibody (MI-8) was generated that showed specific binding upon Western blot analysis of both native PAGE and SDS-PAGE. Immunoprecipitation with MI-8 specifically removed inhibitor activity against the proteasome. The 50-kDa inhibitor is distinct from a previously described 40-kDa inhibitor of the proteasome (Murakami, K., & Etlinger, J.D. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 7588-7592) on the basis of lack of cross-reactivity with MI-8 and dissimilar peptide digest patterns. It is suggested that these endogenous inhibitors may have a role in ATP/ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis and/or other cellular functions involving this protease. 相似文献

A 45-kDa human T-cell membrane glycoprotein functions in the regulation of cell proliferative responses 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
A 45-kDa human T cell surface glycoprotein which is tightly bound in the membrane of the resting T cell is released into the cell medium in soluble form after cell growth activation by phytohemagglutinin or neuraminidase/galactose oxidase treatments. In limited proteolysis by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, two major 35-kDa and 27-kDa peptide fragments of the surface-iodinated 45-kDa protein are common to the membrane-bound and the released forms, but a third 18-kDa fragment is observed exclusively with the released protein. The apparent molecular masses of the deglycosylated peptide backbones of the membrane-bound and the released molecule are 30 +/- 1 kDa, although a small size difference cannot be excluded. A polyclonal rabbit anti-(T cell membrane protein) antiserum precipitates the 45-kDa protein. A monoclonal anti-(45-kDa protein) antibody precipitates the membrane-bound 45-kDa protein solubilized with octyl glucoside, but does not precipitate the released protein. In cell culture assays, the monoclonal anti-(45-kDa protein) antibody specifically enhances the cell proliferative responses in phytohemagglutinin-treated and mixed lymphocyte cultures. These observations suggest that the 45-kDa protein has a specific receptor function in the regulation of cell proliferative responses. 相似文献

These studies were undertaken to determine whether term human placental microvillus plasma membranes, which are exposed to maternal blood, and basolateral plasma membranes, which are in close proximity to fetal blood capillaries, contain receptors for epidermal growth factor (EGF). These two highly purified membranes bound 125I-EGF with similar affinity (apparent dissociation constants, 0.07-0.12 nM, but the total number of available receptors was greater in microvillus (8.2 pmol/mg protein) compared to basolateral (4.9 pmol/mg protein) plasma membranes. Detailed characterization of 125I-EGF binding to these membranes revealed numerous similarities as well as differences. The two membranes contained two major (155 and 140 kDa) and at least three minor (115, 175, and 210 kDa) specific 125I-EGF binding proteins. The 115-kDa protein was only found in basolateral plasma membranes. The 155-kDa protein was predominantly labeled in microvillus, whereas the 140-kDa protein was labeled predominantly in basolateral plasma membranes. The addition of protease inhibitors did not alter the multiple 125I-EGF binding proteins pattern found in these membranes. EGF stimulated phosphorylation of 140- and 155-kDa proteins in both microvillus and basolateral plasma membranes. However, the 155-kDa protein was phosphorylated to a greater extent in microvillus, whereas both 140- and 155-kDa proteins were phosphorylated equally in basolateral plasma membranes. Light and electron microscope autoradiographic studies revealed that 125I-EGF preferentially associated with microvillus plasma membranes. The data demonstrates the presence of EGF receptors in outer cell membranes of syncytiotrophoblasts and suggests that maternal EGF may influence syncytiotrophoblast function by binding to receptors in microvillus plasma membranes, while fetal EGF may also influence syncytiotrophoblast function but via receptors in basolateral plasma membranes. 相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone from the heart atrium with potent natriuretic and vasorelaxant activities. The natriuretic activity of ANF is, in part, mediated through the adrenal gland, where binding of ANF to the 130-kDa ANF receptor causes suppression of aldosterone secretion. Incubation of bovine adrenal membranes at pH < 5.6 caused a rapid and spontaneous cleavage of the 130-kDa ANF receptor, yielding a 65-kDa polypeptide that could be detected by photoaffinity labeling by 125I-labeled N alpha 4-azidobenzoyl-ANF(4-28) followed by SDS/PAGE under reducing conditions. Within 20 min of incubation at pH 4.0, essentially all the 130-kDa receptor was converted to a 65-kDa ANF binding protein. This cleavage reaction was completely inhibited by inclusion of 5 mM EDTA. When SDS/PAGE was carried out under non-reducing conditions, the apparent size of the ANF receptor remained unchanged at 130 kDa, indicating that the 65-kDa ANF-binding fragment was still linked to the remaining part(s) of the receptor polypeptide through a disulfide bond(s). The disappearance of the 130-kDa receptor was accompanied by a parallel decrease in guanylate cyclase activity in the membranes. Inclusion of EDTA in the incubation not only prevented cleavage of the 130-kDa receptor, but also protected guanylate cyclase activity, indicating that proteolysis, but not the physical effects of the acidic pH, causes inactivation of guanylate cyclase. The 130-kDa ANF receptor in adrenal membranes was competitively protected from photoaffinity labeling by ANF(1-28) or ANF(4-28), but not by atriopeptin I [ANF(5-25)] or C-ANF [des-(18-22)-ANF(4-23)-NH2]. On the contrary, the 65-kDa ANF-binding fragment generated after incubation at pH 4.0 was protected from labeling by any of the above peptides, indicating broader binding specificity. After incubation in the presence of EDTA, the 130-kDa ANF receptor, which was protected from proteolysis, retained binding specificity identical to that of the 130-kDa receptor in untreated membranes. The results indicate that the broadening of selectivity is caused by cleavage, but not by the physical effect of acidic pH. Spontaneous proteolysis of ANF receptor by an endogenous metalloendopeptidase, occurring with concomitant inactivation of guanylate cyclase activity and broadening of ligand-binding selectivity, may be responsible for the generation of low-molecular-mass receptors found in the adrenal gland and other target organs of ANF. The proteolytic process may play a role in desensitization or down-regulation of the ANF receptor. 相似文献

Dihydropyridine and phenylalkylamine receptors associated with cardiac and skeletal muscle calcium channels are structurally different 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have purified putative L-type Ca2+ channels from chick heart by virtue of their associated high affinity receptors for the Ca2+ channel effectors, dihydropyridines (DHPs), and phenylalkylamines (PAAs). A peptide of 185,000-190,000 daltons was found to comigrate with the peak of DHP binding activity during purification through two successive cycles of lectin affinity chromatography and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. A previously described peptide of 140,000 daltons, whose Mr was increased to approximately 180,000 under nonreducing conditions, also copurified with the 185-kDa peptide and dihydropyridine binding activity. When cardiac membranes were photolabeled with either the dihydropyridine [3H]azidopine or the PAA [3H]azidopamil prior to purification, a single, specifically labeled component of 185,000-190,000 daltons was present in the purified fractions. The properties of this 185-kDa cardiac DHP/PAA receptor were compared to the smaller 165-kDa DHP/PAA receptor previously purified from skeletal muscle. Antibodies raised against the 165-kDa skeletal muscle DHP/PAA receptor reacted with both rabbit and chick skeletal muscle receptors, but only poorly recognized, if at all, the cardiac 185-190 kDa component. The 185-kDa peptide present in the purified fractions obtained from cardiac muscle did not undergo substantial phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, while the purified 165-kDa peptide from rabbit and chick skeletal muscle was a good substrate for this kinase. The results show that the DHP and PAA receptors in cardiac muscle are contained in a 185-190-kDa peptide that is significantly larger than, and structurally and immunologically different from, it skeletal muscle counterpart. 相似文献

Sarcolemmal vesicles were prepared from bovine cardiac muscle by differential and discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Na+/K+-ATPase was purified 33-fold to a specific activity of 53 +/- 0.5 (12) mumol Pi X mg-1 X h-1, binding sites for strophantin 20-fold to a density of 56.3 +/- 5.3 (14) pmol/mg and that for the calcium antagonist nitrendipine 5.5-fold to a density of 0.72 +/- 0.07 (6) pmol/mg. The specific activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger was 61.1 +/- 3.7 (6) nmol/mg. The vesicles had an intravesicular volume of 20 +/- 4 (4) microliter/mg and 56.9 +/- 6 (4)% of the vesicles were right-side-out oriented. Several peptides of the purified membranes were phosphorylated in the presence of Mg . ATP and EGTA. Most of the radioactive phosphate was incorporated into a peptide with an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa. Denaturation of the membranes at 100 degrees C changed the mobility of this peptide to 15 kDa and 11 kDa. This peptide could not be distinguished from a sarcoplasmic reticulum peptide of similar molecular mass. The phosphorylation of the sarcolemmal peptide was stimulated by Ca2+/calmodulin, cAMP and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A comparison of the phosphorylation of sarcolemmal membranes with that of sarcoplasmic reticulum showed that Ca2+/calmodulin stimulated in each membrane, the phosphorylation of the 22-kDa peptide and a 44-kDa peptide, and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum the phosphorylation of an additional peptide of 55-kDa. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 55-kDa peptide could not be demonstrated in sarcolemma, regardless if sarcolemmal membranes were incubated together with sarcoplasmic reticulum or if the phosphorylation was carried out in the presence of purified cardiac myosin light chain kinase or phosphorylase kinase. 'Depolarization' induced Ca2+ uptake which was measured according to Bartschat, D.K., Cyr, D.L. and Lindenmayer, G.E. [(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10044-10047] was 5 nmol/mg protein. This uptake was not enhanced after preincubation of the vesicles with Mg . ATP or Mg . ATP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The value of 5 nmol/mg protein is in agreement with the theoretical amount of Ca2+ which can be accumulated by the bovine cardiac sarcolemma in the absence of a driving force other than the Ca2+ gradient. The potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake was not blocked by the organic Ca2+ channel blockers. Prolonged incubation of Mg . ATP with sarcolemmal vesicles in the presence of various ATPase inhibitors led to the hydrolysis of ATP. The liberated phosphate precipitated with Ca2+ in the presence of LaCl3. These precipitates amounted to an apparent Ca2+ uptake ranging from 50 to over 1000 nmol/mg. The results suggest that potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake of bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles is not enhanced in the presence of ATP or by phosphorylation of a 22-kDa peptide. 相似文献

A calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase (calcineurin) was converted to an active, calmodulin-independent form by a Ca2+-dependent protease (calpain I). Proteolysis could be blocked by ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, leupeptin, or N-ethylmaleimide, but other protease inhibitors such as phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, aprotinin, benzamidine, diisopropyl fluorophosphate, and trypsin inhibitor were ineffective. Phosphatase proteolyzed in the absence of calmodulin was insensitive to Ca2+ or Ca2+/calmodulin; the activity of the proteolyzed enzyme was greater than the Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated activity of the unproteolyzed enzyme. Proteolysis of the phosphatase in the presence of calmodulin proceeded at a more rapid rate than in its absence, and the proteolyzed enzyme retained a small degree of sensitivity to Ca2+/calmodulin, being further stimulated some 15-20%. Proteolytic stimulation of phosphatase activity was accompanied by degradation of the 60-kilodalton (kDa) subunit; the 19-kDa subunit was not degraded. In the absence of calmodulin, the 60-kDa subunit was sequentially degraded to 58- and 45-kDa fragments; the 45-kDa fragment was incapable of binding 125I-calmodulin. In the presence of calmodulin, the 60-kDa subunit was proteolyzed to fragments of 58, 55 (2), and 48 kDa, all of which retained some ability to bind calmodulin. These data, coupled with our previous report that the human platelet calmodulin-binding proteins undergo Ca2+-dependent proteolysis upon platelet activation [Wallace, R. W., Tallant, E. A., & McManus, M. C.

The molecular masses of two of the four DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex subunit peptides from various mammalian cells have been compared through the use of specific monoclonal antibodies. One monoclonal antibody (E4) binds to 77-kDa peptide from HeLa cells and cognate peptides from other mammalian cells (monkey, mouse, bovine, Indian muntjac, and hamster). Another monoclonal antibody (A5) binds the 180-kDa type peptide and its degradation product (160-kDa peptide) of the mammalian DNA polymerase alpha-primase complexes. Neither of these antibodies reacts with DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex from chicken cells. Comparative immunoblot analysis indicates that the molecular masses of the two main peptides of DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex isolated from the various mammalian sources are in excellent agreement with each other, except for the 77-kDa type peptide from bovine and Indian muntjac cells which was found to be significantly smaller (68 kDa) in these cases. The small molecular mass of bovine 77-kDa type peptide is not attributable to the action of a protease which may be present in the extract of bovine cells. 相似文献

The identification and characterization of collagen receptors involved in HeLa cell-substratum adhesion 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Four proteins of molecular mass 102, 87, 45, and 38 kDa were isolated from plasma membrane preparations by affinity chromatography. The 102-, 87-, and 38-kDa proteins were shown to be collagen receptors involved in the adhesion of HeLa cells to a gelatin substratum. All four proteins were eluted by high salt from affinity columns made of either types I or IV collagen or type I gelatin. Generally, a total of six major proteins were found in the high salt eluates, although the relative amounts of each varied among experiments. Immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, and limited peptide mapping indicated that the 102-kDa protein was most sensitive to proteolysis leading to the formation of proteins of molecular mass 58 and 54 kDa. Even in the presence of a mixture of protease inhibitors the 58-kDa fragment was usually the more abundant species. Lectin binding indicated that the 102-, 87-, and 38-kDa proteins contain carbohydrate. Phase-partitioning with Triton X-114 and the need to solubilize the proteins in Triton X-100 indicated that the 102-, 87-, 45-, and 38-kDa proteins have a hydrophobic domain. The 87-kDa protein partitioned exclusively with the detergent-rich phase, suggesting that it is the most hydrophobic. Cell surface labeling with 125I indicated that the four proteins have an extracellular domain. Four criteria were used to determine which of the four proteins are collagen receptors mediating cell-substrate adhesion: 1) during HeLa cell adhesion, proteins with Mr values similar to all four proteins or their peptide fragments were cross-linked to a gelatin substratum derivatized with a photoactivatable probe; 2) a pentapeptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp cell recognition sequence eluted the same four proteins as those found by high salt elution of collagen affinity columns; 3) monospecific antibodies to the 102-, 87-, and 38-kDa proteins, but not the 45-kDa protein, inhibited the spreading of HeLa cells on a gelatin substratum; 4) monospecific antibodies to the 102-, 87-, and 38-kDa proteins, but not the 45-kDa protein, bound to culture dishes substituted for gelatin in mediating the spreading of HeLa cells. Taken together, the data suggest that the 102-, 87-, and 38-kDa proteins are collagen receptors involved in HeLa cell adhesion. Although the 45-kDa protein has two of the characteristics of a collagen receptor defined here, it does not fit the criteria for one involved in cell-substratum adhesion. 相似文献
