To identify the autophosphorylation sites on the human insulin receptor (IR), partially purified human IR was incubated in vitro in the presence of insulin and manganese [gamma-32P]ATP so as to achieve near-maximal activation of the histone 2b kinase activity. Approximately 70% of all beta subunit [32P]phosphotyrosine resides on two tryptic peptide segments identified by microsequencing as IR precursor (Ullrich, A., Bell, J. R., Chen, E.-Y., Herrera, R., Petruzelli, L. M., Dull, T. J., Gray, A., Coussens, L., Liao, Y.-C., Tsubokawa, M., Mason, A., Seeburg, P. H., Grunfeld, C., Rosen, O. M., and Ramachandran, J. (1985) Nature 313, 756-761) 1144-1152 (tyrosine at 1146, 1150, 1151, designated peptide 5) and 1315-1329 (tyrosine at 1316, 1322, designated peptide 8), which were recovered in approximately equal amounts. Half of the remaining unidentified [32P]phosphotyrosine residues reside on another tryptic peptide of Mr 4000-5000. Assignment of [32P]phosphotyrosine to specific residues required subdigestion and Edman degradation of 32P peptides covalently coupled to solid supports. Peptide 5 was recovered in triple and double phosphorylated forms in a molar ratio of about 2:1. Tyr-1146 contained 32P in both forms of peptide 5; in the double phosphorylated form, phenylthiohydantoin-[32P]phosphotyrosine was recovered at both Tyr-1150 and Tyr-1151, in a ratio of about 1:2. Thus, the double phosphorylated peptide 5 is presumably a mixture of Tyr-P-1146/1150 and Tyr-P-1146/1151, predominantly the latter. Peptide 8 was recovered only as the double phosphorylated form. We conclude that autophosphorylation of human IR in vitro leads to the phosphorylation of at least 6 of the 13 tyrosine residues on the beta subunit intracellular extension. Five of these tyrosines are clustered in two domains; one domain is in the structurally unique C-terminal tail and contains Tyr-1316 and -1322 which are both phosphorylated. The second domain is located in the segment of the tyrosine kinase region homologous to the major in vitro autophosphorylation site of pp60 v-src and contains Tyr-1146, which is fully phosphorylated, and Tyr-1150 and -1151; although the majority of IR beta subunits exhibit phosphorylation of both tyrosine 1150 and 1151, up to 20-25% of Tyr-1150 remains unphosphorylated at complete kinase activation. 相似文献

Alpha and beta subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor contain covalently bound lipid 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Labeling of the BC3H1 muscle-like cell line with [3H] palmitate, followed by immunoprecipitation of the acetylcholine receptor, indicated that the alpha and beta subunits of the receptor contain covalently bound fatty acid. After acid hydrolysis, fatty acid methyl esters could be recovered from the isolated [3H]palmitate-labeled alpha subunit. Treatment of differentiated BC3H1 cells with cerulenin, an inhibitor of fatty acid and sterol synthesis and fatty acid acylation of proteins, resulted in a 50% inhibition in expression of the acetylcholine receptor on the cell surface under conditions where there was minimal inhibition of protein synthesis. We conclude that this previously undetected post-translational modification may play a role in assembly and/or surface expression of the acetylcholine receptor. 相似文献

Specific insulin receptor proteins of plasma membrane preparations from various tissues of the rat were identified using a photoreactive insulin derivative, NεB29-mono(azidobenzoyl)insulin. Except for the brain, all tissues examined showed the specific photolabeling of two proteins of Mr~130K and ~90K. In brain tissue, only one protein, Mr~115K, was specifically labeled. Liver and adipocyte membranes of the genetic obese () mice showed decreased labeling of both 130K and 90K proteins when compared to those of lean littermates. Labeling of these proteins in liver plasma membranes was abolished by trypsin, whereas neuraminidase increased their electrophoretic mobility in SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The labeling of these two proteins was inhibited by a human anti-receptor serum which also formed an immunocomplex with both proteins. The labeling of the 115K protein in brain tissue was, however, not affected by the antiserum. 相似文献

Endothelial cells from human umbilical vein (HEC) express several distinct integrin complexes that mediate the interaction with the basal membrane components. In this paper we show that treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) down-regulates the expression of the laminin receptor alpha 6.beta 1 integrin in cultured HEC. After 48 h of treatment with TNF alpha, the level of expression of the alpha 6.beta 1 complex reached 20% of the control value. The down-regulation of the alpha 6.beta 1 integrin is caused by a decreased expression of the alpha 6 subunit, whereas the synthesis of the beta 1 subunit remains constant. Northern blot analysis shows that the decreased level of alpha 6 subunit synthesis is caused by down-regulation of alpha 6 mRNA in TNF alpha-treated HEC. TNF alpha treatment does not alter the expression of alpha 2, alpha 3, and alpha 5 integrins, also present on endothelial cell surface, thus showing that this cytokine has a selective action on distinct integrin complexes. Down-regulation of alpha 6.beta 1 correlates with pronounced reduction in adhesion of TNF alpha-treated HEC to laminin, but not to fibronectin-coated culture dishes. In addition to TNF alpha, interleukin-1 beta also decreases the expression of the alpha 6.beta 1 integrin and reduces adhesion to laminin, thus suggesting that this regulation plays an important role in inflammation. 相似文献

The beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) couples to Gs activating adenylyl cyclase (AC) and increasing cAMP. Such signaling undergoes desensitization with continued agonist exposure. Beta2AR also couple to Gi after receptor phosphorylation by the cAMP dependent protein kinase A, but the efficiency of such coupling is not known. Given the PKA dependence of beta2AR-Gi coupling, we explored whether this may be a mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization. HEK293 cells were transfected to express beta2AR or beta2AR and Gialpha2, and then treated with vehicle or the agonist isoproterenol to evoke agonist-promoted beta2AR desensitization. Membrane AC activities showed that Gialpha2 overexpression decreased basal levels, but the fold-stimulation of the AC over basal by agonist was not altered. However, with treatment of the cells with isoproterenol prior to membrane preparation, a marked decrease in agonist-stimulated AC was observed with the cells overexpressing Gialpha2. In the absence of such overexpression, beta2AR desensitization was 23+/-7%, while with 5-fold Gialpha2 overexpression desensitization was 58+/-5% (p<0.01, n=4). The effect of Gi on desensitization was receptor-specific, in that forskolin responses were not altered by G(i)alpha2 overexpression. Thus, acquired beta2AR coupling to Gi is an important mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization, and pathologic conditions that increase Gi levels contribute to beta2AR dysfunction. 相似文献

The cardiac beta-adrenergic receptor. Structural similarities of beta 1 and beta 2 receptor subtypes demonstrated by photoaffinity labeling 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The beta-adrenergic receptor photoaffinity ligand p-azido-m-[125I]iodobenzylcarazolol has been used to covalently label the beta 1 and beta 2 adrenergic receptor binding subunits present in left ventricular myocardial membranes derived from mammalian (including human) and nonmammalian species. Covalent incorporation of the photoaffinity ligand into membrane proteins was followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the case of the human, canine, porcine, rabbit, and rat left ventricle, all of which contain predominantly or exclusively beta 1-adrenergic receptors, two peptides of Mr approximately equal to 62,000 (major component) and Mr approximately equal to 55,000 (minor component) were specifically labeled and visualized by autoradiography. Photoincorporation into these two bands could be blocked with the appropriate drugs to display a beta 1-adrenergic receptor pharmacological specificity. Simultaneous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of samples from each species revealed that all of the Mr = 62,000 peptides co-migrated suggesting similarity in the beta 1-adrenergic receptor binding subunit peptides in all of these species. The minor component Mr approximately equal to 55,000 appears to be a proteolytic degradation product of the Mr = to 62,000 peptide. Its formation could be decreased by proteinase inhibitors. This suggests that the heterogeneity of the labeling pattern observed in mammalian tissues in this and previous studies may be the result of proteolytic degradation of the receptor subunit which occurs during membrane preparation. Photoaffinity labeling of frog ventricular membranes which contain predominantly beta 2-adrenergic receptors also revealed two peptides of Mr approximately equal to 62,000 (major component) and 55,000 (minor component) with the pharmacological selectivity of a beta 2-adrenergic receptor. These data suggest marked similarities in the beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptor binding subunits of different species and suggest that the pharmacological subtype might be determined by the detailed structure, i.e. amino acid sequence, at the ligand binding sites of the receptor peptide. 相似文献

The GABAA receptor has been purified to homogeneity from bovine cerebral cortex. Under stringent conditions of isolation, the GABAA receptor was shown to consist only of alpha (Mr 53 000) and beta (Mr 57 000) subunits. A densitometric scan of SDS-PAGE gels under reducing conditions showed that these subunits were present in a 1:1 ratio. A model of the receptor as a heterologous tetramer alpha 2 beta 2 is proposed. Monoclonal antibodies have been raised to the purified bovine GABAA receptor. One of these antibodies, 1A6, was shown to react with both the alpha and beta subunits of the purified receptor. The subunits were still positive in immunoblots following the removal of the carbohydrate moieties of the respective polypeptides by endoglycosidase F treatment. This antibody has been employed to demonstrate antigenic cross-reactivity between the GABAA receptors of three vertebrate species. It is further proposed that there is partial amino acid sequence homology between the alpha and beta polypeptides and hence that they are derived from a single ancestral gene. 相似文献

Biosynthesis and glycosylation of the insulin receptor. Evidence for a single polypeptide precursor of the two major subunits 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

The biosynthesis and carbohydrate processing of the insulin receptor were studied in cultured human lymphocytes by means of metabolic and cell surface labeling, immunoprecipitation with anti-receptor autoantibodies, and analysis on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels under reducing conditions. In addition to the two major subunits of Mr = 135,000 and Mr = 95,000, two higher molecular weight bands were detected of Mr = 210,000 and Mr = 190,000. The Mr = 210,000 band and the two major subunits were labeled by [3H]mannose, [3H]glucosamine, [3H]galactose, and [3H]fucose, and were bound by immobilized lentil, wheat germ, and ricin I lectins. On the other hand, the Mr = 190,000 band was labeled only by [3H]mannose and [3H]glucosamine and was bound only by lentil lectin. All four components could be labeled with [35S] methionine; however, in contrast with the other three polypeptides, the Mr = 190,000 band was not labeled by cell surface iodination with lactoperoxidase, suggesting that it is not exposed at the outer surface of the plasma membrane. Pulse-chase studies with [3H]mannose showed that the Mr = 190,000 was the earliest labeled component of the receptor; radioactivity in this band reached a maximum 1 h after the pulse, clearly preceded the appearance of the other components, and had a very brief half-life (t1/2 = 2.5 h). The Mr = 210,000, Mr = 135,000, and Mr = 95,000 bands were next in appearance and reached a maximum 6 h in the chase period. Monensin, an ionophore which interferes with maturation of some proteins, blocked both the disappearance of the Mr = 190,000 protein and the appearance of the Mr = 135,000 and Mr = 95,000 subunits. The mannose incorporated in the Mr = 190,000 component was fully sensitive to treatment with endoglycosidase H while that in the Mr = 210,000 band and the two major subunits was only partially sensitive. Tryptic fingerprints of the 125I-labeled Mr = 210,000 band suggested that this component contains peptides of both the Mr = 135,000 and Mr = 95,000 subunits. In conclusion, the Mr = 190,000 component appears to represent the high mannose precursor form of the insulin receptor that undergoes carbohydrate processing and proteolytic cleavage to generate the two major subunits. In addition, the Mr = 210,000 band is probably the fully glycosylated form of the precursor that escapes cleavage and is expressed in the plasma membrane. 相似文献

During synaptogenesis at the neuromuscular junction, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are organized into high-density postsynaptic clusters that are critical for efficient synaptic transmission. Rapsyn, an AChR associated cytoplasmic protein, is essential for the aggregation and immobilization of AChRs at the neuromuscular junction. Previous studies have shown that when expressed in nonmuscle cells, both assembled and unassembled AChR subunits are clustered by rapsyn, and the clustering of the alpha subunit is dependent on its major cytoplasmic loop. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of rapsyn-induced clustering of the AChR beta, gamma, and delta subunits by testing mutant subunits for the ability to cocluster with rapsyn in transfected QT6 cells. For each subunit, deletion of the major cytoplasmic loop, between the third and fourth transmembrane domains, dramatically reduced coclustering with rapsyn. Furthermore, each major cytoplasmic loop was sufficient to mediate clustering of an unrelated transmembrane protein. The AChR subunit mutants lacking the major cytoplasmic loops could assemble into alphadelta dimers, but these were poorly clustered by rapsyn unless at least one mutant was replaced with its wild-type counterpart. These results demonstrate that the major cytoplasmic loop of each AChR subunit is both necessary and sufficient for mediating efficient clustering by rapsyn, and that only one such domain is required for rapsyn-mediated clustering of an assembly intermediate, the alphadelta dimer. 相似文献

This report describes the use of an antibody directed against the carboxyl terminus of the insulin receptor beta subunit to assess the fate of the insulin receptor protein over the time course of insulin-induced receptor down-regulation. The insulin receptor beta subunit is lost from the cellular membranes of insulin-treated 3T3-C2 fibroblasts with a time course superimposable with the insulin-induced loss of cellular insulin binding activity. Concomitant with the time-dependent loss of the intact beta subunit from the membranes, a 61,000-Da fragment of the insulin receptor beta subunit accumulates in the cytosol of the cells in a time-dependent manner. The insulin-induced loss of the intact beta subunit from the cellular membranes is inhibited by cycloheximide. Chloroquine and the thiol protease inhibitors leupeptin and E-64 inhibit the insulin-induced loss of the intact beta subunit from the membranes and induce an accumulation of the intact subunit in the membranes. However, in the presence of leupeptin, E-64, or chloroquine, the insulin-induced loss of insulin binding activity occurs normally. These data indicate that down-regulation results in the loss of the intact beta subunit from the cellular membranes with the production of a fragment of the beta subunit in the cytosol. The protease responsible for the generation of the fragment is a thiol protease which requires acidic conditions. Since the insulin-induced proteolysis of the beta subunit can be totally inhibited under conditions where the insulin-induced loss of insulin binding activity proceeds normally, the proteolysis of the beta subunit is a process which is separate and distinguishable from the insulin-induced loss of insulin binding activity. 相似文献

Photoaffinity labeling techniques were used to identify insulin-binding components of the plasma membrane in insulin-responsive, monolayer-cultured hepatoma cells. The activated, photosensitive reagent, an n-hydroxysuccinimide ester of 4-azidobenzoic acid, was coupled with highly purifed insulin, and the hormone derivative was subsequently iodinated, bound to cell surface receptors of intact H4 cells, and photoactivatcd. After dissolution of the cells, labeled proteins were analyzed by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions. The main labeled band exhibited an apparent molecular weight of 130,000. Two minor components of apparent mol wt 95,000 and 40,000 were also identified. Specific labeling of all 3 bands was inhibited by simultaneous incubation of the cells with native insulin, but not by the heterologous hormone, glucagon, prior to photoactivation. Binding of azidobenzoyl-insulin to H4 cells was time-dependent, as was the correlated labeling of receptor components. Band-labeling by the photosensitive insulin derivative was totally light-dependent; spontaneous covalent linking of insulin and receptor was not observed. The labeled receptor-related proteins were not degraded by the cells under our experimental conditions. 相似文献

In the presence of adenosine 5'-[gamma-32P]triphosphate ([gamma-32P]ATP) and a partially purified human placental insulin receptor preparation, insulin stimulates the phosphorylation of an Mr 94000 protein in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Half-maximal stimulation of 32P incorporation occurs at (2-3) X 10(-9) M insulin, a concentration identical with the Kd for insulin binding in this preparation. Immunoprecipitations with monoclonal anti-insulin receptor antibody demonstrate that the Mr 94000 protein kinase substrate is a component of the insulin receptor, the beta subunit. If the partially purified, soluble placental receptor preparation is immunoprecipitated and then exposed to [gamma-32P]ATP and insulin, phosphorylation of the Mr 94000 protein is maintained. The photoincorporation of 8-azido[alpha-32P]ATP into placental insulin receptor preparations was carried out to identify the ATP binding site responsible for the protein kinase activity. Photoincorporation into numerous proteins was observed, including both subunits of the insulin receptor. However, when photolabeling was performed in the presence of excess adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imidotriphosphate), a nonhydrolyzable ATP derivative, the beta subunit of the insulin receptor was the only species protected from label incorporation. These data indicate that the beta subunit of the insulin receptor has insulin-dependent protein kinase activity. Phosphotyrosine formation is the primary result of this activity in placental insulin receptor preparations. 相似文献

G protein beta gamma subunits synthesized in Sf9 cells. Functional characterization and the significance of prenylation of gamma. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) consist of a nucleotide-binding alpha subunit and a high-affinity complex of beta and gamma subunits. There is molecular heterogeneity of beta and gamma, but the significance of this diversity is poorly understood. Different G protein beta and gamma subunits have been expressed both singly and in combinations in Sf9 cells. Although expression of individual subunits is achieved in all cases, beta gamma subunit activity (support of pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of rGi alpha 1) is detected only when beta and gamma are expressed concurrently. Of the six combinations of beta gamma tested (beta 1 or beta 2 with gamma 1, gamma 2, or gamma 3), only one, beta 2 gamma 1, failed to generate a functional complex. Each of the other five complexes has been purified by subunit exchange chromatography using Go alpha-agarose as the chromatographic matrix. We have detected differences in the abilities of the purified proteins to support ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha 1; these differences are attributable to the gamma component of the complex. When assayed for their ability to inhibit calmodulin-stimulated type-I adenylylcyclase activity or to potentiate Gs alpha-stimulated type-II adenylylcyclase, recombinant beta 1 gamma 1 and transducin beta gamma are approximately 10 and 20 times less potent, respectively, than the other complexes examined. Prenylation and/or further carboxyl-terminal processing of gamma are not required for assembly of the beta gamma subunit complex but are indispensable for high affinity interactions of beta gamma with either G protein alpha subunits or adenylylcyclases. 相似文献

An interesting pattern in the genetic code was reported previously [Blalock & Smith (1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 121, 203-207]. In the 5'-to-3' direction, codons for hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids are generally complemented by codons for hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids respectively. The average tendency of codons for 'unchanged' (slightly hydrophilic) amino acids was to be complemented by codons for 'unchanged' amino acids. We now show that the same pattern results when the complementary codon is read in the 3'-to-5' direction. This pattern is further shown to result in the interaction of peptides specified by complementary RNAs regardless of whether the amino acids are assigned in the 5'-to-3' or the 3'-to-5' direction. Here we demonstrate that peptides specified by complementary RNAs bind to each other with specificity and high affinity. 相似文献

We have synthesized 3 analogs of the dopamine D2 receptor (D2 DR) antagonist spiperone that can be conjugated to streptavidin-coated quantum dots via a pegylated biotin derivative. Using fluorescent imaging we demonstrate that substitution on the spiro position is tolerated, whilst the length and rigidity of a spacer arm attached to spiperone is important in controlling specific labeling as well as minimizing nonspecific labeling to cells and the surface of cell culture dishes. The ligand with the most rigid linker IDT772 (4) had the best binding profile and had high specific binding to D2 DR expressing HEK-293T cells with low nonspecific binding to plates and HEK-293T cells that lacked the D2 DR. 相似文献

Chemical and biological labeling is fundamental for the elucidation of the function of proteins within biochemical cellular networks. In particular, fluorescent probes allow detection of molecular interactions, mobility and conformational changes of proteins in live cells with high temporal and spatial resolution. We present a generic method to label proteins in vivo selectively, rapidly (seconds) and reversibly, with small molecular probes that can have a wide variety of properties. These probes comprise a chromophore and a metal-ion-chelating nitrilotriacetate (NTA) moiety, which binds reversibly and specifically to engineered oligohistidine sequences in proteins of interest. We demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by binding NTA-chromophore conjugates to a representative ligand-gated ion channel and G protein-coupled receptor, each containing a polyhistidine sequence. We investigated the ionotropic 5HT(3) serotonin receptor by fluorescence measurements to characterize in vivo the probe-receptor interactions, yielding information on structure and plasma membrane distribution of the receptor. 相似文献

Tissue-specific knockout of the insulin receptor in pancreatic beta cells creates an insulin secretory defect similar to that in type 2 diabetes 总被引:67,自引:0,他引:67
Dysfunction of the pancreatic beta cell is an important defect in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, although its exact relationship to the insulin resistance is unclear. To determine whether insulin signaling has a functional role in the beta cell we have used the Cre-loxP system to specifically inactivate the insulin receptor gene in the beta cells. The resultant mice exhibit a selective loss of insulin secretion in response to glucose and a progressive impairment of glucose tolerance. These data indicate an important functional role for the insulin receptor in glucose sensing by the pancreatic beta cell and suggest that defects in insulin signaling at the level of the beta cell may contribute to the observed alterations in insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Photoaffinity labeling of the erythropoietin receptor and its identification in a ligand-free form. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Pure human recombinant erythropoietin (EP) was acylated through a primary amino residue with a cross-linking reagent, N-[[3-[[4-[(p-azido-m-[125I]iodophenyl)azo]benzoyl]amino] propanoyl]oxy]-succinimide (Denny-Jaffe reagent), which is photoreactive and cleavable at the azo residue. The resulting conjugated hormone (DJ-EP) was purified from unmodified EP by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and maintained its capacity to bind to receptors for EP on erythroid progenitor cells. The receptor for EP was previously identified as two related proteins of 100 and 85 kDa molecular mass by chemical cross-linking to 125I-EP. Recently, D'Andrea and co-workers [(1989) Cell 57, 277-285] cloned a cDNA that codes for a protein of 55-66 kDa, which is thought to be the EP receptor. In this report, cross-linking to the receptor through the monofunctional DJ-EP labeled the same 140- and 125-kDa molecular mass bands (100- and 85-kDa proteins) cross-linked with 125I-EP and disuccinimidyl suberate. Furthermore, cleavage of the azo bond of the DJ-EP receptor complex by sodium dithionite (80 degrees C, 5 min) demonstrated that proteins of 105 and 90 kDa were labeled in ligand-free form by DJ-EP. This result demonstrates that artifactual cross-linking of multiple proteins or other artifacts of cross-linking do not explain the difference in molecular mass of the EP receptor identified by cross-linking and the receptor identified by expression cloning. 相似文献

The counterregulation of catecholamine action by insulin includes insulin-stimulated sequestration of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. Herein we examined the signaling downstream of insulin receptor activation, focusing upon the role of 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the serine-threonine protein kinase Akt (also known as protein kinase B) in the internalization of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors. Inhibition of 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase by LY294002 blocks insulin-induced sequestration of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, implicating Akt in downstream signaling to the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. Phosphorylation studies of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor by Akt in vitro identified Ser(345) and Ser(346) within a consensus motif for Akt phosphorylation. Double mutation (i.e. S345A/S346A) within this motif abolishes insulin counterregulation of beta-adrenergic stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation as well as insulin-stimulated sequestration. Furthermore, expression of constitutively activated Akt (T308D/S473D) mimics insulin action on cyclic AMP responses and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor internalization. Expression of the dominant-negative version of Akt (K179A/T308A/S473A), in contrast, abolishes both insulin counterregulation of the cyclic AMP response as well as insulin-stimulated sequestration of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. The action of the serine-threonine protein kinase Akt in insulin counterregulation mirrors the central role of protein kinase A in beta-agonist-induced desensitization. 相似文献
