When digitonin is used to expose intracellular galactosyl (Gal) receptors in isolated rat hepatocytes, only about half of the binding activity for 125I-asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) is found as compared to cells solubilized with Triton X-100. The increased ligand binding in the presence of detergent is not due to a decrease in Kd but could be due either to an increase in the number of ASORs bound per receptor or to exposure of additional receptors. Several experiments support the former explanation. No additional activity is exposed even when 80% of the total cell protein is solubilized with 0.4% digitonin. It is, therefore, unlikely that receptors are in intracellular compartments not permeabilized by digitonin and inaccessible to 125I-ASOR. Digitonin-treated cells are not solubilized by Triton X-100 if they are first treated with glutaraldehyde under conditions that retain specific binding activity. 125I-ASOR binding to these permeabilized/fixed cells increases about 2-fold in the presence of Triton X-100 and a variety of other detergents (e.g., Triton X-114, Nonidet P-40, Brij-58, and octyl glucoside) but not with the Tween series, saponin, or other detergents. When these fixed cells are washed to remove detergent, 125I-ASOR binding decreases almost to the initial level. Affinity-purified Gal receptor linked to Sepharose 4B binds approximately twice as much 125I-ASOR in the presence of Triton X-100 as in its absence. The results suggest that the increase in Gal receptor activity in the presence of nonionic detergents is due to an increase in the valency of the receptor rather than to exposure of additional receptors.  相似文献

In this study, we characterized and compared the ligand-independent loss of surface galactosyl (Gal) receptor activity on isolated rat hepatocytes treated with monensin, chloroquine, microtubule depolymerizing agents, or NaN3 and NaF at 37 degrees C. Freshly isolated hepatocytes exhibit predominately one subset of surface Gal receptors, termed State 1 receptors (Weigel, P. H., Clarke, B. L., and Oka, J. A. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 140, 43-50). During equilibration at 37 degrees C, these cells also express a second subset of Gal receptors at the surface, termed State 2 receptors, and routinely double their total surface Gal receptor activity. Following equilibration at 37 degrees C and then inhibitor treatment, hepatocytes bound 40-60% less 125I-asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) at 4 degrees C than did untreated cells. Treated cells maintained a basal nonmodulated level of surface receptor activity regardless of temperature, perturbant concentration, or incubation time. Loss of surface Gal receptor activity on cells treated with multiple inhibitors simultaneously or sequentially was not additive. Thus, all treatments affected the same subpopulation of surface Gal receptors. None of these inhibitors decreased surface State 1 Gal receptor activity, but all prevented the normal appearance of State 2 Gal receptors on freshly isolated cells during incubation at 37 degrees C. The endocytic capability of residual surface State 1 Gal receptors on inhibitor-treated cells varied depending on the inhibitor. Hepatocytes treated first at 24 degrees C or with colchicine at 37 degrees C internalized greater than 85% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. In contrast, monensin- or chloroquine-treated cells internalized approximately 50% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. Azide-treated cells internalized less than 20% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. We conclude that only surface State 2 Gal receptor activity is sensitive to these various perturbants. State 1 Gal receptor activity is not modulated. These data are consistent with the conclusion that only State 2 Gal receptors constitutively recycle.  相似文献

Isolated rat hepatocytes depleted of ATP with NaN3 without ligand lose galactosyl (Gal) receptors from the cell surface and accumulate inactive receptors within the cell [McAbee, D. D., & Weigel, P. H. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 1942-1945]. Here, we describe the kinetics of receptor redistribution and inactivation after ATP depletion with NaN3 and of receptor redistribution and reactivation after ATP recovery. Only intact cells (greater than 98% viable) isolated from Percoll gradients were assayed. Gal receptor activity and protein were measured by the binding of 125I-asialoorosomucoid (125I-ASOR) and 125I-anti-Gal receptor IgG (125I-IgGR), respectively, at 4 degrees C. Surface and total (surface and intracellular) cellular Gal receptors were measured in the absence or presence, respectively, of digitonin. Following ATP depletion, 60-70% of Gal receptor activity and protein were lost from cell surfaces with first-order kinetics (t1/2 = 6.5 min, k = 0.107 min-1) at an initial rate of 11,000 125I-ASOR binding sites cell-1 min-1. Lost cell-surface Gal receptors were transiently recovered still active inside the cell. After a short lag, total cellular receptor inactivation then proceeded with first-order kinetics (t1/2 = 13 min, k = 0.053 min-1) at an initial rate of 14,000 125I-ASOR binding sites cell-1 min-1. Up to half of all cellular Gal receptors were inactivated by 40 min. 125I-IgGR binding to NaN3-treated, permeable cells, however, was virtually constant. The distribution of total cellular receptors changed from 35% on the cell surface initially to 10% after 40 min of ATP depletion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The ability of rat hepatocytes to degrade internalized surface-bound 125I-asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) was determined by measuring the appearance of acid-soluble radioactivity at 37 degrees C. The degradation kinetics were biphasic in cells previously equilibrated at 37 degrees C for 1 h or cultured for 24 h. Degradation began immediately and was linear for at least 20 min after which the rate increased to a steady state value 3-4 times greater than the initial rate. We previously showed that hepatocytes have two functionally distinct populations of galactosyl receptors that mediate ligand dissociation by two kinetically different pathways (Weigel, P. H., Clarke, B. L., and Oka, J. A. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 140, 43-50). The activity of one receptor population, designated State 2 galactosyl receptors, can be reversibly modulated by incubating cells between 22 and 37 degrees C and is not expressed on the surface of freshly isolated cells. When 125I-ASOR was prebound to freshly isolated cells at 4 degrees C and degradation was assessed subsequently at 37 degrees C, the kinetics were monophasic, not biphasic. Degradation of the surface-bound 125I-ASOR began immediately and was greater than 90% complete by 6 h. Freshly isolated cells were incubated at temperatures between 22 and 37 degrees C, chilled to 4 degrees C, allowed to pre-bind 125I-ASOR, and then incubated at 37 degrees C. As the State 2 galactosyl receptor population increased, the kinetics of degradation became progressively more biphasic and the rate of the delayed degradation process increased. This effect could be reversed in cells in culture or in suspension by down-modulating surface receptor activity at temperatures below 37 degrees C; only the degradation process appearing after a 20-min lag was affected. Degradation in both pathways is an apparent first order process with identical rate constants (kappa = 0.006 min-1, t1/2 = 116 min). We conclude that there are two separate pathways by which asialoglycoproteins are degraded. The major "classic" pathway mediated by State 2 galactosyl receptors occurs after a 20-min lag and the minor pathway mediated by State 1 galactosyl receptors begins immediately with no detectable lag.  相似文献

We studied the effect of hyperosmotic inhibition of the clathrin coated pit cycle on the monensin- and chloroquine-dependent loss of surface galactosyl (Gal) receptor activity on isolated rat hepatocytes. Cells treated for 60 min without ligand at 37 degrees C with 25 microM monensin or 300 microM chloroquine in normal medium (osmolality congruent to 275 mmol/kg) bound 40-60% less 125I-asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR) at 4 degrees C than untreated cells. Cells exposed to monensin or chloroquine retained progressively more surface Gal receptor activity, however, when the osmolality of the medium was increased above 400 mmol/kg (using sucrose as osmolite) 10 min prior to and during drug treatment. Cells pretreated for 10 min with hyperosmolal media (600 mmol/kg) alone internalized less than or equal to 10% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. Thus, the ligand-independent loss of surface Gal receptor activity on monensin- and chloroquine-treated hepatocytes requires internalization of constitutively recycling receptors via a coated pit pathway.  相似文献

We have developed chemical affinity reagents for the hepatic galactosyl receptor. Asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) was derivatized with five homobifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester cross-linkers. NHS/ASOR derivatives were synthesized, purified, and applied within 10 min to isolated rat hepatocytes at 4 degrees C. Specific binding of these 125I-labeled derivatives was approximately 90% in the presence of either EGTA or excess ASOR. Specific cross-linking assessed by the resistance of specifically bound NHS/125I-ASOR to release by EGTA, was 50-75% of the specifically bound ligand. The extent of specific cross-linking correlated with the average number of NHS groups per ASOR and was controlled by varying the molar ratio of cross-linker to ASOR during the synthesis. Cross-linking proceeded rapidly at 4 degrees C as a first-order process (k = 0.25 min-1, t1/2 = 2.8 min). After being cross-linked with any of the NHS/125I-ASOR derivatives, cells were washed with EGTA, solubilized in Triton X-100, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. Major bands were observed at Mr congruent to 84K, 93K, and 105K corresponding to the expected size of 1:1 adducts between NHS/ASOR (Mr congruent to 41.3K) and the three subunits of the receptor, Mr congruent to 43K, 50K, and 60K. The three subunits, rat hepatic lectin (RHL) 1, 2, and 3, were labeled in the ratio of about 1.0:1.2:1.0, respectively. After cross-linking, a polyclonal goat antibody to the receptor immunoprecipitated up to 100% of the specifically cross-linked NHS/125I-ASOR. Preimmune IgG immunoprecipitated less than 1% of the radiolabeled ligand. Cell surface receptors were cross-linked to NHS-ASOR, extracted with Triton X-100, immunoprecipitated with anti-orosomucoid-Sepharose, and subjected to Western blot analysis. By use of anti-sera specific for RHL 1 or RHL 2/3 (from K. Drickamer), cross-linked complexes of Mr congruent to 85K or approximately 90-115K, respectively, were detected as were un-cross-linked native subunits. The ratio of free to cross-linked subunits was approximately 10:1 for RHL 1 and approximately 0.5:1 for RHL 2/3. We conclude that all three receptor subunits can cross-link to ligand. We propose a model in which the native receptor is a heterohexamer composed of four subunits of RHL 1 and two subunits of RHL 2 and/or RHL 3.  相似文献

We have investigated the effects of hyperosmolarity induced by sucrose on the fluid phase endocytosis of the fluorescent dye lucifer yellow CH (LY) and the endocytosis of 125I-asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR) by the galactosyl receptor system in isolated rat hepatocytes. Continuous uptake of LY by cells at 37 degrees C is biphasic, occurs for 3-4 h, and then plateaus. Permeabilized cells or crude membranes do not bind LY at 4 or 37 degrees C. Intact cells also do not accumulate LY at 4 degrees C. The rate and extent of LY accumulation are concentration- and energy-dependent, and internalized LY is released from permeabilized cells. Efflux of internalized LY from washed cells is also biphasic and occurs with halftimes of approximately 38 and 82 min. LY is taken up into vesicles throughout the cytoplasm and the perinuclear region with a distribution pattern typical of the endocytic pathway. LY, therefore, behaves as a fluid phase marker in hepatocytes. LY has no effect on the uptake of 125I-ASOR at 37 degrees C. The rate of LY uptake by cells in suspension is not affected for at least 30 min by up to 0.2 M sucrose. The rate of endocytosis of 125I-ASOR, however, is progressively inhibited by increasing the osmolality of the medium with sucrose (greater than 98% with 0.2 M sucrose; Oka and Weigel (1988) J. Cell. Biochem. 36, 169-183). Hyperosmolarity completely inhibits endocytosis of 125I-ASOR by the galactosyl receptor, whereas fluid phase endocytosis of LY is unaffected. Cultured hepatocytes contained about 100 coated pits/mm of apical membrane length as assessed by transmission electron microscopy. In the presence of 0.4 M sucrose, only 17 coated pits/mm of membrane were observed, an 83% decrease. Only a few percent of the total cellular fluid phase uptake in hepatocytes is due to the coated pit endocytic pathway. We conclude that the fluid phase and receptor-mediated endocytic processes must operate via two separate pathways.  相似文献

Binding, endocytosis, and degradation of asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR) mediated by the galactosyl (Gal) receptor were examined in isolated rat hepatocytes in complete media supplemented with an osmolite. The specific binding of 125I-ASOR to cells at 4 degrees C was unaffected by up to 0.4 M sucrose or NaCl. Unlike sucrose or NaCl, mannitol stimulated 125I-ASOR binding at low concentrations but inhibited binding at higher concentrations. Continuous internalization at 37 degrees C, which requires receptor recycling, was completely blocked at 0.2 M sucrose or 0.15 M NaCl, corresponding in each case to a total osmolality of about 550 mmol/kg. This effect was reversed and endocytic function was restored by washing the cells, indicating that cell viability was unaffected. The rate of degradation of internalized 125I-ASOR was also inhibited by increasing sucrose concentrations. This inhibition is due to a block in the delivery of ligand to lysosomes and not an effect on degradation per se. In the presence of 0.2 M sucrose, the rate and extent of endocytosis of surface-bound 125I-ASOR were, respectively, 33.0 +/- 8.1% and 69.4 +/- 10.5% (n = 8) of the control without sucrose. Under these conditions, the dissociation of internalized receptor-ASOR complexes was completely inhibited. When sucrose was added, the effect on the endocytosis of surface-bound 125I-ASOR was virtually immediate. Previous studies showed that about 40% of the surface-bound 125I-ASOR which is internalized can return to the cell surface still bound to receptor (Weigel and Oka: J Biol Chem 259:1150, 1984). If 0.2 M sucrose was added after endocytosis occurred, 125I-ASOR still returned to the cell surface, although the rate and extent of return were inhibited by more than 50%. Interestingly, hyperosmolarity is the only treatment we have found which can reversibly inhibit, although only partially, the endocytosis of surface-bound 125I-ASOR.  相似文献

We have developed a specific chemical affinity reagent for the hepatic galactosyl receptor (GalR) by derivatizing asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) with the homobifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester cross-linker disuccinimidyl suberate [Herzig, M. C. S., & Weigel, P. H. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 600]. NHS-ASOR cross-links with 30-50% efficiency to the three GalR subunits, designated rat hepatic lectins (RHL) 1, 2, and 3. Here, we examined the subunit structure of both surface and internal receptors of two functionally distinct GalR subpopulations, designated state 1 or state 2 GalR. Freshly isolated cells, referred to as state 1 cells, kept at 4 degrees C express only active state 1 GalR on their surface. When these cells are equilibrated at 37 degrees C, they then express both state 1 GalR and state 2 GalR on their surface. These cells are referred to as state 1,2 cells. After incubation at 4 degrees C with NHS-125I-ASOR, surface or internal GalR of state 1 cells or of state 1,2 cells incorporated 125I-ASOR into all three RHL subunits. As analyzed by autoradiography of SDS-PAGE, radiolabeling was identical for all conditions and was in a ratio of 1:1:1 for RHL 1:2:3. Native GalR structure was also examined by first cross-linking nonradiolabeled NHS-ASOR at 4 degrees C to surface or internal receptors of state 1 or state 1,2 hepatocytes. These cells were then washed with EGTA, extracted with Triton X-100, immunoprecipitated with anti-orosomucoid antibody, and subjected to Western blot analysis. Antisera specific for RHL 1 or RHL 2/3 detected cross-linked complexes of Mr congruent to 85K or congruent to 90K-115K, respectively, as well as un-cross-linked native subunits. In all four cases, the ratio of free to cross-linked subunits was greater than or equal to 5:1 for RHL 1 and less than or equal to 0.5:1 for RHL 2/3. Internalized GalR had the same ratio of free to cross-linked subunits as noninternalized GalR. Depletion of ATP either before or after cross-linking GalR to NHS/ASOR also did not alter the ratio of free cross-linked RHL subunits. We conclude that the surface and internal GalR of the two functionally distinct GalR populations have the same heterooligomeric subunit composition and that this GalR structure persists following endocytosis or ATP depletion.  相似文献

We studied the effects of low temperature (20–37°C), monensin, chloroquine, and microtubule drugs on the cellular distribution and activity of galactosyl (Gal) receptors in isolated rat hepatocytes. After equilibration at 37°C, hepatocytes were incubated at 37°C, 31°C, 25°C, or 20°C or treated with or without inhibitors at 37°C in the absence of ligand. The cells were then assayed at 4°C for 125I-asialo-orosomucoid binding, to measure receptor activity, or 125I-anti-Gal receptor IgG binding, to measure receptor protein. Surface or total (surface and intracellular) Gal receptor activity and protein were measured on intact or digitonin-permeabilized cells, respectively. These inhibitors fell into two categories. Type I inhibitors (sub-37°C temperatures or colchicine) induced receptor redistribution but not inactivation. Treated cells lost up to 40% of surface Gal receptor activity and protein. Lost surface receptors were recovered intracellularly with no loss of receptor activity. Type II inhibitors (monensin or chloroquine) induced receptor inactivation but not redistribution. Treated cells lost 50–65% of their surface Gal receptor activity but only ? 15% of their surface receptor protein. These cells lost up to 60% of total cellular Gal receptor activity with no loss of total receptor protein. Of the total inactive Gal receptors, up to 50% and75%, respectively, were present intracellularly in monensin-and chloroquine-treated cells. Loss of ligand binding to permeable treated cells was not due to changes in receptor affinity. A third category, Type III inhibitors (metabolic energy poisons that deplete ATP) induce both Gal receptor redistribution and inactivation (Biochemistry 27:2061, 1988). We conclude that only one of the two previously characterized subpopulations of Gal receptors on hepatocytes, termed State 2 receptors (J Biol Chem 265:629, 1990), recycles constitutively. The activity and distribution of State 2 but not State 1 Gal receptors are differentially affected by these specific drugs or treatments.  相似文献

Rat hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGP-Rs) bind terminalclustered galactosyl or N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues withhigh affinity. The affinity-purified ASGP-R consists of threesubunits designated RHL1, RHL2, and RHL3. The ligand-bindingactivity of individual subunits was investigated by ligand blotting,after separation of subunits by SDS-PAGE under nonreducing conditions,electrotransfer to nitrocellulose, and incubation with 125I-asialo-orosomucoid(ASOR). No ligand-binding to any subunits could be detectedwhen proteins such as BSA, casein, gelatin, or fat-free drymilk were used as blocking agents. However, subsequent incubationof BSA-blocked nitrocellulose blots with some nonionic detergentsresulted in renaturation of RHL1. 125I-ASOR-binding to RHL2or RHL3 was weaker and could be detected only after longer exposure.Similarly, direct use of detergents such as Tween 20, NonidetP-40, or Triton X-100 as blocking agents also preserved theASOR-binding activity of RHL1. Ionic detergents tested did notshow any ability to renature the ligand-binding activity ofRHL subunits. Among nonionic detergents tested, Tween 20, Tween85, Lubrol PX, Nonidet P-40, and Triton X-100 were more effectivethan Tween 40, Tween 65, Tween 80, or Brij 35, whereas SPAN,digito-nin, or octyl-glucoside showed no effect. Weak 125I-ASORbinding to RHL2 or RHL3 could be detected only when the Tweenseries or Lubrol PX were used. Incubation of blots with dithiothreitolcaused a dose-dependent loss of binding activity. The carbohydraterecognition domain (CRD) of RHL1, isolated after subtilisindigestion of ASGP-R bound to ASOR-Sepharose, retained ligand-bindingactivity as assessed by its binding to ASOR-Sepharose and byligand blotting. 125I-ASOR binding to electroblotted CRD afterSDS-PAGE was also dependent on the presence of nonionic detergents.We conclude that restoration of ligand-binding activity of RHL1after SDS-PAGE by some nonionic detergents is not dependenton the presence of the cytoplasmic, transmembrane, or stalkdomains of this subunit. asialoglycoprotein receptor Ligand blotting detergent renaturation RHL1  相似文献

A combination of biochemistry and morphology was used to demonstrate that more than 95 percent of the isolated rat hepatocytes prepared by collagenase dissociation of rat livers retained the pathway for receptor-mediated endocytosis of asialoglycoproteins (ASGPs). Maximal specific binding of (125)I-asialoorosomucoid ((125)I-ASOR) to dissociated hepatocytes at 5 degrees C (at which temperature no internalization occurred) averaged 100,000-400,000 molecules per cell. Binding, uptake, and degredation of (125)I- ASOR at 37 degrees C occurred at a rate of 1 x 10(6) molecules per cell over 2 h. Light and electron microscopic autoradiography (LM- and EM-ARG) of (125)I-ASOR were used to visualize the surface binding sites at 5 degrees C and the intracellular pathway at 37 degrees C. In the EM-ARG experiments, ARG grains corresponding to (125)I-ASOR were distributed randomly over the cell surface at 5 degrees C but over time at 37 degrees C were concentrated in the lysosome region. Cytochemical detection of an ASOR-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (ASOR-HRP) at the ultrastructural level revealed that at 5 degrees C this specific ASGP tracer was concentrated in pits at the cell surface as well as diffusely distributed along the rest of the plasma membrane. Such a result indicates that redistribution of ASGP surface receptors had occurred. Because the number of surface binding sites of (125)I-ASOR varied among cell preparations, the effect of collagenase on (125)I-ASOR binding was examined. When collagenase-dissociated hepatocytes were re-exposed to collagenase at 37 degrees C, 10-50 percent of control binding was observed. However, by measuring the extent of (125)I-ASOR binding at 5 degrees C in the same cell population before and after collagenase dissociation, little reduction in the number of ASGP surface receptors was found. Therefore, the possibility that the time and temperature of the cell isolations allowed recovery of cell surface receptors following collagenase exposure was tested. Freshly isolated cells, dissociated cells that were re-exposed to collagenase, and perfused livers exposed to collagenase without a Ca(++)-free pre-perfusion, were found to bind 110-240 percent more(125)I-ASOR after 1 h at 37 degrees C that they did at 0 time. This recovery of surface ASGP binding activity occurred in the absence of significant protein synthesis (i.e., basal medium or 1 mM cycloheximide). Suspensions of isolated, unpolarized hepatocytes were placed in monolayer culture for 24 h and confluent cells were demonstrated to reestablish morphologically distinct plasma membrane regions analogous to bile canalicular, lateral, and sinusoidal surfaces in vivo. More than 95 percent of these cells maintained the capacity to bind, internalize, and degrade (125)I-ASOR at levels comparable to those of the freshly isolated population. ASOR-HRP (at 5 degrees C) was specifically bound to all plasma membrane surfaces of repolarized hepatocytes (cultured for 24 h) except those lining bile canalicular-like spaces. Thus, both isolated, unpolarized hepatocytes and cells cultured under conditions that promote morphological reestablishment of polarity maintain the pathway for receptor- mediated endocytosis of ASGPs.  相似文献

Continuous endocytosis of 125I-asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR) mediated by the galactosyl receptor in rat hepatocytes is a cyclic process. 125I-ASOR-receptor complexes are internalized, processed, and the ligand is degraded while the receptor is returned to the cell surface for reutilization. Since a true cycle has a thermodynamic requirement for the input of external energy, we examined the effects of changes in intracellular ATP levels on the function of the receptor cycle. Hepatocytes were depleted of ATP to various extents prior to endocytosis by incubating cells at 15 degrees C in the presence of 2 mM NaF and 0-20 mM NaN3. A luciferase-luciferin bioluminescence assay was used to quantitate the amount of cellular ATP. ATP-depleted cells were allowed to bind 125I-ASOR at 0 degrees C, washed through discontinuous Percoll gradients, and only viable cells were isolated and incubated at 37 degrees C to initiate a synchronous single round of endocytosis. The extent of internalization of this surface-bound 125I-ASOR was unaffected by an ATP depletion to less than 1% of the control level. The rate of internalization of surface-bound ligand was unaffected until the ATP levels decreased to 30% or less; at greater than 98% ATP depletion the initial rate decreased by a maximum of 55% and the kinetics became biphasic. In contrast, continuous endocytosis in the presence of excess ASOR was inhibited by only a 25% decline in cellular ATP content and demonstrated a very sharp threshold response to changing ATP levels. Continuous endocytosis, which requires receptor recycling, was completely inhibited when the total cellular ATP level decreased by only 40%. We conclude that the internalization phase of endocytosis is not dependent on ATP but that the processing and/or externalization phases of the complete receptor cycle are either directly or indirectly dependent on ATP and very sensitive to changes in cellular ATP content.  相似文献

Receptors for thyrotropin-releasing hormone were solubilized by Triton X-100. Membrane fractions from GH3 pituitary tumor cells were incubated with thyrotropin-releasing hormone in order to saturate specific receptor sites before the addition of detergent. The amount of protein-bound hormone solubilized by Triton X-100 was proportional to the fractional saturation of specific membrane receptors. Increasing detergent:protein ratios from 0.5 to 20 led to a progressive loss of hormone . receptor complex from membrane fractions with a concomitant increase in soluble protein-bound hormone. The soluble hormone . receptor complex was not retained by 0.22 micron filters and remained soluble after ultracentrifugation. Following incubation with high (2.5--10%) concentrations of Triton X-100 and other non-ionic detergents, or following repeated detergent extraction, at least 18% of specifically bound thyrotropin-releasing hormone remained associated with particulate material. Unlike the hormone receptor complex, the free hormone receptor was inactivated by Triton X-100. A 50% loss of binding activity was obtained with 0.01% Triton X-100, corresponding to a detergent:protein ratio of 0.033. The hormone . receptor complex was included in Sepharose 6B and exhibited an apparent Stoke radius of 46 A in buffers containing Triton X-100. The complex aggregated in detergent-free buffers. Soluble hormone receptors were separated from excess detergent and thyrotropin-releasing hormone by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone dissociated from soluble receptors with a half-time of 120 min at 0 degrees C, while the membrane hormone . receptor complex was stable for up to 5 at 0 degrees C.  相似文献

Monensin has been shown to inhibit the dissociation of internalized asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) from galactosyl (Gal) receptors in hepatocytes (Harford et al., J. Cell. Biol., 96:1824, 1983). Examination of the long-term kinetics of dissociation of a single round of surface-bound 125I-ASOR in the presence of monensin revealed, however, that dissociation resumed after a lag of 30-40 min. Dissociation proceeded slowly with apparent first order kinetics (k = 0.006-0.022 min-1) and reached a plateau after 4 h, both in freshly isolated cells in suspension and in cells cultured for 24 h. Only a portion of the ligand bound to surface Gal receptors was capable of dissociating. The degree of dissociation was correlated with the expression of a subpopulation of receptors we have recently designated as state 1 Gal receptors (Weigel et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 140:43, 1986). The recovery and dissociation of a portion of 125I-ASOR-receptor complexes after the lag period is not due to a depletion of monensin, since a second addition of the drug has no affect once dissociation resumes. Furthermore, as assessed by the accumulation of the fluorescent dye acridine orange, cells have not recovered the ability to acidify intracellular compartments during the time that dissociation occurs. The results support a model for the hepatic Gal receptor system, in which there are two functionally different receptor populations, recycling pathways, and ligand processing pathways. Monensin blocks dissociation of 125I-ASOR from receptors in the major pathway completely. In the minor pathway dissociation proceeds to completion only after a lag. In this minor pathway monensin appears to temporarily delay a maturation or translocation process that must occur prior to dissociation. We conclude that the observed dissociation in the presence of monensin cannot be mediated by low pH, or by pH or pNa gradients.  相似文献

After internalization of 125I-asialo-orosomucoid (ASOR) by isolated rat hepatocytes, ligand dissociates by two kinetically distinct pathways (Oka and Weigel, J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10,253, 1983). These slow and fast dissociation pathways correspond to two functionally different subpopulations of cell surface galactosyl receptors designated, respectively, State 1 and State 2 receptors. Freshly isolated cells or cells equilibrated below 24 degrees C express only State 1 receptors. Cells equilibrated at 37 degrees C express both State 1 and State 2 receptors. Ligand dissociation after internalization of surface-bound 125I-ASOR was measured using the permeabilizing detergent, digitonin. The slow dissociation pathway was mediated by State 1 receptors and was the only pathway expressed by cells which were freshly isolated or had been equilibrated at 24 degrees C. State 2 receptors are expressed at temperatures above about 20 degrees C, and both the fast and slow dissociation pathways occurred in cells equilibrated at 37 degrees C. State 2 receptors therefore mediate the rapid dissociation pathway. Dissociation and subsequent degradation of specifically bound ligand routed in either pathway were complete, respectively, within 3 and 6 hrs.  相似文献

Gonadotropin receptors which bind luteinizing hormone (lutropin) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the ovaries of immature female rats showed a 30-fold increase after treatment of animals with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and hCG. This marked induction of lutrophin/hCG receptors in the rat ovary was not accompanied by a change in binding affinity for labeled hCG. Such luteinized ovaries have been found consistently to contain a small proportion of soluble receptor sites, which comprised about 5% of the total receptor population. The soluble receptor sites were present in the floating lipid fraction of the 360 000 × g supernatant of homogenate prepared from luteinized ovaries, and could not be detected in similar fractions prepared from interstitial cells or homogenates of the normal rat testis.The physico-chemical properties of the spontaneously soluble ovarian receptors were similar to those derived for detergent-solubilized receptors prepared by extraction of particulate ovarian binding fractions with Triton X-100. The affinity constant to the soluble ovarian receptor sites for [125I]hCG was 0.70 · 1010 M?1, and that of the receptors solubilized by Triton X-100 was 0.72 · 1010 M?1. The sedimentation pattern of the soluble receptors during sucrose density gradient centrifugation showed extensive aggregation into rapidly sedimenting forms. However, centrifugation of the cytosol receptor in the presence of Triton X-100 gave a single 6.5 S component, corresponding to the solubilized receptors previously characterized in detergent extracts of the rat ovary and testis.The pesence of a spontaneously soluble lutropin/hCG receptor in ovarian cytosol fractions suggests that rapid synthesis and assembly of receptors in ovaries of PMSG-hCG-treated rats is accompanied by increased production of cytoplasmic receptor precursors; alternatively, this receptor population may represent a fraction that has been internalized or processed as during receptor turnover in the cell membrane.  相似文献

In the absence of ligand, sodium vanadate causes a time- and dose-dependent loss of up to approximately 50% of the surface galactosyl receptor (GalR) activity in rat hepatocytes at 37 degrees C. The effect on total (surface plus intracellular) GalR activity is also dependent on exposure time and vanadate concentration. At less than 1 mM, vanadate induces a transient decrease and then partial recovery of cell surface GalR activity. At greater than 3 mM vanadate, surface GalR activity decreases rapidly (t1/2 approximately 2 min). Lost surface activity is initially recovered in digitonin-permeabilized cells, indicating that active surface GalRs redistribute to the cell interior. However, an antibody assay for GalR protein showed that although surface activity decreased, there was no decrease in surface receptor protein. The active intracellular GalRs then slowly inactivate over 30-60 min. With 8 mM vanadate, the loss of both surface and total cellular GalR activity is more rapid and coincident; no lag is observed. Maximal activity loss, however, was still only approximately 50%. Again, no net change was seen in the distribution of GalR protein between the cell surface and the interior. These results indicate that vanadate causes active GalRs to move from the surface to the inside and be replaced by inactive receptors moving from the inside to the cell surface. The Gal receptor system is comprised of two functionally different receptor subpopulations that operate via two distinct intracellular pathways. Only the State 2 GalRs, which recycle constitutively, are sensitive to modulation by vanadate. Consistent with this, vanadate inhibits the endocytosis of 125I-asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) only partially. The rate of uptake and the steady state level of ASOR intracellular accumulation were maximally inhibited by 50 and 70%, respectively, at 0.2 mM vanadate. The rate and extent of degradation of 125I-ASOR were also inhibited by 50-70%. Residual ASOR uptake and degradation is accounted for by the minor vanadate-resistant State 1 Gal receptor pathway.  相似文献

In vitro exposure to alcohols unmasks additional binding sites for gonadotropin in cell/membrane preparations of the corpus luteum of rhesus monkeys. In the current study, we compared the effects of ethanol on gonadotropin receptors solubilized from macaque luteal membranes to those on receptors associated with the lipid bilayer. Treatment with 1% Triton X-100 for 30 min at 4C, followed by precipitation with polyethylene glycol, resulted in recovery of 50% more binding sites for 125I-human luteinizing hormone (hLH) than were available in particulate preparations (p less than 0.05). However, the soluble receptors displayed a 3-fold lower affinity for 125I-hLH (p less than 0.05). Conditions which enhanced LH binding to particulates, i.e., 1-8% ethanol at 25C, decreased specific 125I-hLH binding to soluble receptors. Steady-state LH binding to soluble receptors during incubation at 4C was half of that observed at 25C. The presence of 8% ethanol at 4C restored LH binding to levels observed in the absence of ethanol at 25C. Thus, LH binding sites in the primate corpus luteum can be effectively solubilized with Triton X-100. The different binding characteristics of particulate and soluble receptors, including the response to ethanol exposure, suggest that the lipid environment in the luteal membrane modulates the availability and affinity of gonadotropin receptors.  相似文献
