Effects of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A, S protein, and S peptide on activation of purified rat hepatic glucocorticoid-receptor complexes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase) A and S protein (enzymatically inactive proteolytic fragment of RNase A which contains RNA binding site) stimulate the activation, as evidenced by increasing DNA-cellulose binding, of highly purified rat hepatic glucocorticoid-receptor complexes. These effects are dose dependent with maximal stimulation of DNA-cellulose binding being detected at approximately 500 micrograms (50 units of RNase A/mL). RNase A and S protein do not enhance DNA-cellulose binding via their ability to interact directly with DNA or to increase nonspecific binding of receptors to cellulose. Neither S peptide (enzymatically inactive proteolytic fragment which lacks RNA binding site) nor cytochrome c, a nonspecific basic DNA binding protein, mimics these effects. RNase A and S protein do not stimulate the conformational change which is associated with activation and is reflected in a shift in the elution profile of receptor complexes from DEAE-cellulose. In contrast, these two proteins interact with previously heat-activated receptor complexes to further enhance their DNA-cellulose binding capacity and thus mimic the effects of an endogenous heat-stable cytoplasmic protein(s) which also function(s) during step 2 of in vitro activation [Schmidt, T. J., Miller-Diener, A., Webb, M. L., & Litwack, G. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 16255-16262]. Preadsorption of RNase A and S protein to an RNase affinity resin containing an inhibitory RNA analogue, or trypsin digestion of the RNA binding site within S protein, eliminates the subsequent ability of these two proteins to stimulate DNA-cellulose binding of the purified receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The relationship between glucocorticoid receptor subunit dissociation and activation was investigated by DEAE-cellulose and DNA-cellulose chromatography of monomeric and multimeric [3H]triamcinolone acetonide ([3H]TA)-labeled IM-9 cell glucocorticoid receptors. Multimeric (7-8 nm) and monomeric (5-6 nm) complexes were isolated by Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. Multimeric complexes did not bind to DNA-cellulose and eluted from DEAE-cellulose at a salt concentration (0.2 M KCl) characteristic of unactivated steroid-receptor complexes. Monomeric [3H]TA-receptor complexes eluted from DEAE-cellulose at a salt concentration (20 mM KCl) characteristic of activated steroid-receptor complexes. However, only half of these complexes bound to DNA-cellulose. This proportion could not be increased by heat treatment, addition of bovine serum albumin, or incubation with RNase A. Incubation of monomeric complexes with heat inactivated cytosol resulted in a 2-fold increase in DNA-cellulose binding. Unlike receptor dissociation, this increase was not inhibited by the presence of sodium molybdate. Fractionation of heat inactivated cytosol by Sephadex G-25 chromatography demonstrated that the activity responsible for the increased DNA binding of monomeric [3H]TA-receptor complexes was macromolecular. These results are consistent with a two-step model for glucocorticoid receptor activation, in which subunit dissociation is a necessary but insufficient condition for complete activation. They also indicate that conversion of the steroid-receptor complex to the low-salt eluting form is a reflection of receptor dissociation but not necessarily acquisition of DNA-binding activity. 相似文献

Thermal activation of the purified rat hepatic glucocorticoid receptor. Evidence for a two-step mechanism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Thermal "activation" or "transformation" of rat hepatic [6,7-3H]triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-receptor complexes purified in the unactivated state to near homogeneity (Grandics, P., Miller, A., Schmidt, T. J., Mittman, D., and Litwack, G. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3173-3180) has been further investigated. The data generated in reconstitution experiments demonstrate that warming (25 degrees C for 30 min) of the purified unactivated complexes promotes their activation as judged by an increase in DNA-cellulose binding, but to a lower extent than that observed after warming of glucocorticoid-receptor complexes in crude cytosols. However, maximal DNA-cellulose binding capacity can be detected in reconstituted systems (also heated at 25 degrees C for 30 min) consisting of purified unactivated [3H]TA-receptor complexes and a cytoplasmic "stimulator(s)." This cytoplasmic factor(s), which does not copurify with the receptor, is heat-stable (90 degrees C for 30 min), excluded from Sephadex G-25, and trypsin-sensitive and stimulates DNA-cellulose binding in a dose-dependent manner. The ability of Na2MoO4 to block thermal activation of the highly purified receptor complexes suggests that this transition metal anion interacts directly with the receptor protein itself. The fact that the cytoplasmic stimulator(s) enhances DNA-cellulose binding of the [3H]TA-receptor complexes without increasing the proportion of those complexes eluted in the activated (low salt) position from DEAE-cellulose is consistent with a proposed two-step model of in vitro activation. During the Na2MoO4-sensitive Step 1, elevated temperature (25 degrees C for 30 min) may directly alter the conformation of the purified receptor complexes (i.e. subunit dissociation or disaggregation), resulting in the appropriate shift in the elution profile of the [3H]TA-receptor complexes on DEAE-cellulose but only in a minimal (approximately 2-3-fold) increase in the binding of these complexes to DNA-cellulose. During the Na2MoO4-insensitive and temperature-independent Step 2, a heat-stable cytoplasmic protein(s) may interact with these thermally activated [3H]TA-receptor complexes and enhance their ability to bind to DNA-cellulose without further increasing the percentage of those complexes which elute from DEAE-cellulose in the activated position. In crude cytosols these two steps would presumably occur simultaneously, and addition of Na2MoO4 prior to warming would block Step 1 and hence Step 2 would not occur. 相似文献

We have identified an endogenous regulator of the glucocorticoid receptor following fractionation of dialyzed rat liver cytosol on DEAE-cellulose. The macromolecular regulator, purified approximately 20-fold as judged by Lowry-reactive material, inhibits activation of glucocorticoid-receptor complexes when assayed by DNA-cellulose binding and by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose minicolumns. In addition the active DEAE-cellulose fraction stabilizes the unoccupied glucocorticoid receptor against heat inactivation. Evidence is presented that the observed inhibition of activation by the active DEAE-cellulose fraction is not due to concentration of cytosolic proteases or RNA. The inhibitory molecule in the active fraction is not stable to heating at 90 degrees C (15 min) and is partially inactivated at 45 degrees C (15-60 min). 相似文献

Cortexolone functions as an antiglucocorticoid in the human leukemic cell line CEM-C7, since it blocks the growth inhibition and cell lysis mediated by the potent agonist triamcinolone acetonide (TA). At high concentrations (10(-5) M) cortexolone alone is inactive. The ability of cortexolone to block the TA-mediated biological effects is reflected in its ability (1000-fold molar excess) to effectively block the binding of [3H]TA to the cytoplasmic unactivated form of the receptors eluted from DEAE-cellulose at approx. 180 mM potassium phosphate (KP). Likewise a 1000-fold molar excess of TA inhibits the specific binding of [3H]cortexolone to the unactivated receptors and to a peak which elutes at low salt concentration (35 mM KP) but does not appear to represent activated [3H]cortexolone-receptor complexes. Thermal activation/transformation (25 degrees C for 30 min +/- 10 mM ATP) of the [3H]TA-receptor complexes significantly enhances the subsequent DNA-cellulose binding capacity of these complexes and also results in their elution from DEAE-cellulose at the low salt (50 mM KP) activated position. In contrast, exposure of the cytoplasmic [3H]cortexolone-receptor complexes to identical in vitro activating (transforming) conditions fails to enhance subsequent DNA-cellulose binding capacity or to result in the appropriate shift in DEAE-cellulose elution profile. This inability of [3H]cortexolone to facilitate activation/transformation of receptors was also verified using cytosol prepared from the glucocorticoid-resistant 'activation-labile' mutant, 3R7. Taken collectively the data suggest that cortexolone, unlike an agonist such as TA, fails to promote in vitro activation/transformation, a conformational change which also occurs in vivo under physiological conditions and is a prerequisite for nuclear binding. 相似文献

The synthetic antiglucocorticoid RU 38486 interacts with cardiac cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors and competes for in vitro binding with the potent agonist triamcinolone acetonide. In addition to binding to receptors with high affinity, RU 38486 also facilitates the in vitro conformational change in the receptor which is a consequence of the physiologically relevant activation step during which the receptor is converted from a non DNA- to a DNA-binding form. This ability of RU 38486 to promote receptor activation is reflected by both the appropriate shift in the elution profile of [3H]RU 38486-receptor complexes from DEAE-cellulose as well as by an increased binding of these complexes to DNA-cellulose. Although less effective than triamcinolone acetonide, RU 38486 promotes in vitro receptor activation under a variety of experimental conditions, including incubation of labeled cardiac cytosols at 25 degrees C for 30 min or at 15 degrees C for 30 min in the presence of 5 mM pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Once thermally activated, the cardiac [3H]triamcinolone acetonide and [3H]RU 38486-receptor complexes bind to nonspecific DNA-cellulose with the same relative affinities, as evidenced by the fact that 50% of both activated complexes are eluted at approx. 215-250 mM NaCl. Thus, this pure antiglucocorticoid does promote, at least to some extent, many of the crucial in vitro events including high-affinity binding, activation, and DNA binding which have been shown to be required to elicit a physiological response in vivo. 相似文献

Aliquots of rat liver cytosol glucocorticoid-receptor complexes (GRc) were transformed by an incubation with 8-10 mM ATP at 0 degrees C and were compared with those transformed by an exposure to 23 degrees C. The extent of receptor transformation was measured by chromatography of the samples over columns of DEAE-Sephacel. The ATP-transformed complexes, like those which were heat-transformed, exhibited lower affinity for the positively charged ion-exchange resin and were eluted with 0.12 M KCl (peak-I): the nontransformed complexes appeared to possess higher affinity and required 0.21 M KCl (peak II) for their elution. As expected, the receptor in the peak-I exhibited the DNA-cellulose binding capacity and sedimented as 4S in sucrose gradients. Peak II contained an 8-9S glucocorticoid receptor (GR) form that showed reduced affinity for DNA-cellulose. Presence of sodium tungstate (5 mM) prevented both heat and ATP transformation of the GRc resulting in the elution of the complexes in the region of nontransformed receptors. When parallel experiments were performed, binding of the cytosol GRc to rat liver nuclei or DNA-cellulose was seen to increase 10-15 fold upon transformation by heat or ATP: tungstate treatment blocked this process completely. The transformed and nontransformed GRc were also differentially fractionated by (NH4)2SO4: tungstate-treated (nontransformed) receptor required higher salt concentration and was precipitated at 55% saturation. In addition, the GRc could be extracted from DNA-cellulose by an incubation of the affinity resin with sodium tungstate resulting in approximately 500-fold purification of the receptor with a 30% yield. These studies show that the nontransformed, and the heat-, salt-, and ATP-transformed GRc from the rat liver cytosol can be separated chromatographically, and that the use of tungstate facilitates the resolution of these different receptor forms. In addition, extraction of the receptor from DNA-cellulose by tungstate provides another new and efficient method of partial receptor purification. 相似文献

Molybdate-stabilized, unactivated rat hepatic glucocorticoid-receptor complexes were purified by a three-step procedure which includes affinity chromatography, gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. Following elution of unactivated steroid-receptor complexes from the final DEAE-cellulose column, RNA which remained bound to the anion exchange resin was eluted with 1 M KCl. This RNA was small and heterogeneous in size. Equivalent amounts of RNA were detected after a mock purification which was devoid of receptors, suggesting that the presence of this RNA is not dependent on that of receptors. Both a [32P]DNA complementary to the RNA eluted from DEAE-cellulose and a [32P]DNA probe synthesized from total rat liver RNA gave similar results when hybridized to total rat liver RNA. These data indicated that the RNA which co-purified with unactivated receptors through the first two steps was very similar to total RNA in overall composition. Virtually identical hybridization patterns were also detected when end-labeled probes generated from the DEAE-cellulose eluted RNA or total liver RNA were hybridized to total genomic rat DNA, suggesting that the RNA eluted from the anion exchange resin is not specific or unique. Although these results do not exclude the possibility that there could be specific RNA species associated with the unactivated glucocorticoid receptor, they do indicate that the majority of the RNA eluted from DEAE-cellulose following elution of receptor complexes appears indistinguishable from total rat liver RNA and can be detected in parallel mock purifications. 相似文献

Aldosterone increases sodium absorption, short circuit current, and transmural potential difference in rat colon. We studied the rat colonic aldosterone receptor using the synthetic glucocorticoid, 11 beta, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-propynylandrosta-1,4,6-triene-3-one, to prevent binding to the glucocorticoid receptor. Specific aldosterone binding was found in proximal and distal colon. Heating to 25 degrees C decreased binding within 15 min, but the protease inhibitor, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, stabilized binding. Binding was highest in terminal distal colon. Competitive binding assay showed aldosterone specificity compared to other competitors was greater at 30 than at 4 degrees C, suggesting temperature-sensitive changes in receptor specificity. Scatchard analysis revealed a straight line with a KD of 2.5 nM at 0 degrees C and 4.1 nM at 30 degrees C. Bmax was higher in distal than in proximal colon (30 degrees C, 156 +/- 33 versus 65 +/- 9 fmol/mg protein) and increased by 36% in proximal and 180% in distal colon at 30 degrees C compared to 0 degrees C. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of unactivated receptor demonstrated a single peak eluting at 200-250 mM KCl. Heat, ATP, and gel filtration did not activate the receptor, whereas increasing cytosolic salt concentration to 300 mM KCl, raising the pH to 8, or adding EGTA and EDTA caused increased DNA-cellulose binding and a new peak eluting at 30-80 mM KCl on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. There is a specific aldosterone receptor in colon with increasing number of binding sites from proximal to most distal segments paralleling aldosterone's physiological effects. Absence of receptor activation with heat, gel filtration, or ATP suggests differences between activation of the aldosterone receptor and other steroid hormone receptors. 相似文献

Polyanionic-binding properties of the receptor for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. A comparison with the glucocorticoid receptor 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The interaction of the rat hepatic receptor for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) with immobilized heparin (heparin-Sepharose) or DNA (DNA-cellulose) has been compared to the polyanionic-binding properties of the rat hepatic glucocorticoid receptor. Both the nonoccupied and in vitro occupied forms of the receptors interacted with heparin-Sepharose but with varying strength, as determined by ligand binding assays or an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on a monoclonal antibody against the steroid- and DNA-binding Mr approximately 94,000 glucocorticoid receptor protein. In the absence of ligand, both the dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors eluted from heparin-Sepharose at 0.1-0.2 M KCl, in contrast to the in vitro occupied receptor forms which eluted at 0.3-0.4 M KCl. Following elution of the in vitro occupied dioxin receptor from heparin-Sepharose, it was efficiently retained on DNA-cellulose and eluted at an ionic strength of approximately 0.2 M KCl. In the presence of 20 mM sodium molybdate which is known to inhibit the activation of steroid hormone receptors to a DNA-binding form, both the dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors eluted at 0.1-0.2 M KCl from heparin-Sepharose. In analogy to what has previously been shown for the glucocorticoid receptor, sodium molybdate stabilized a large dioxin-receptor complex with a sedimentation coefficient, S20,w, of 9-10 S, a Stokes radius of approximately 7.5 nm, and a calculated Mr of 290,000-310,000. Limited proteolysis of both the dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors with trypsin which is known to eliminate the DNA-binding property of both receptor forms also resulted in a decreased strength in the interaction of both in vitro occupied receptors with heparin-Sepharose (elution at 0.1-0.2 M KCl). In line with these data, calf thymus DNA in solution competed for receptor binding to heparin-Sepharose. In conclusion, the chromatographic properties of the dioxin receptor on heparin-Sepharose are indistinguishable from those of the glucocorticoid receptor, and both receptors appear to be structurally and functionally closely related proteins. 相似文献

The binding characteristics of partially purified glucocorticoid receptor complexes from hormone sensitive, non-differentiating BCL1 cells to sequentially deproteinized BCL1 chromatin-cellulose was investigated. [3H]Triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-receptor complexes were purified (approx. 30-fold) from DEAE-cellulose columns by salt elution which allowed receptor activation only in the absence of molybdate. Addition of 10 mM molybdate completely blocked salt activation. The binding pattern of the activated [3H]TA-receptor complexes to chromatin-cellulose extracted with 0-8 M guanidine hydrochloride revealed three regions of increased binding activity (acceptor sites), at 2, 5 and 7 M guanidine hydrochloride. Acceptor site binding was markedly reduced for chromatin extracted with 3, 6 and 8 M guanidine hydrochloride. Non-activated receptor complexes demonstrated very low binding to deproteinized chromatin. It was also shown that chromatin binding required glucocorticoid receptors and that free ligand or ligand bound to other proteins did not bind significantly to chromatin. In addition, binding of [3H]TA-receptor complexes to partially deproteinized chromatin was competable by unlabeled TA-receptor complexes. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that chromatin from non-differentiating BCL1 cells possesses multiple, high-affinity binding sites which differ in their affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor. Partially deproteinized chromatin from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BCL1 cells demonstrated a different pattern of receptor binding, i.e., receptor binding was significantly greater to chromatin previously extracted with 6-8 M guanidine hydrochloride. These results suggest that differentiation alters the state of chromatin and the interaction of non-histone protein/DNA acceptor sites with glucocorticoid receptors. These alterations may play a role in the acquisition of hormone resistance. 相似文献

Activation of the glucocorticoid-receptor complex 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A crucial step in the interaction of glucocorticoids with target cells is the activation step, which involves a conformational change in the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid-receptor protein complexes and facilitates their binding to the cell nucleus. Activation can be quantified by measuring the ability of glucocorticoid-receptor complexes to bind to polyanions, such as DNA-cellulose, and unactivated complexes can be separated from activated complexes by rapid ion exchange chromatography using diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sephadex or DEAE-cellulose. Activation occurs in vivo under physiological conditions and the rate of activation of cytoplasmic glucocorticoid-receptor complexes can be enhanced in vitro by physical manipulations (elevated temperature, increased ionic strength, dilution). In vitro studies suggest that activation is a regulated process and a low molecular weight component termed modulator, which has been identified in rat hepatic cytosol, inhibits activation. Additional studies employing phosphatase inhibitors, such as molybdate, and purified calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase suggest that either the receptor protein or a regulatory component is dephosphorylated during activation. Results obtained with specific chemical probes suggest that activation results in the exposure of basic amino acid residues consisting minimally of lysine, arginine, and histidine. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, a specific probe for lysine residues, exerts dual effects on glucocorticoid-receptor complexes, since it stimulates the rate of activation and also inhibits the binding of previously activated complexes to nuclei or DNA-cellulose. The ability of 1,10-phenanthroline, a metal chelator, to inhibit the DNA-cellulose binding of activated complexes suggests that a metal ion(s) located at or near the DNA binding site may become exposed as a consequence of activation. Collectively, the results of these various experiments suggest that activation is a regulated biochemical phenomenon with physiological significance. 相似文献

The activation by salt or ATP of [3H]estradiol- and [3H]H1285-receptor complexes from rabbit uterus and their binding capacity to DNA-cellulose, phosphocellulose and ATP-Sepharose has been studied. The estrogen-receptor was prepared in 1 mM molybdate which stabilized the receptor; but both salt- and ATP-transformation of estrogen receptors occurred. The binding of molybdate-stabilized cytosol [3H]estradiol-receptor complexes to the various resins revealed that salt-activation by 0.3 M KCl caused the greatest binding (5-6-fold) to DNA-cellulose as compared to other resins. However, 5 mM ATP-dependent activation of receptor-complexes resulted in preferential binding to ATP-Sepharose. Activated cytosol [3H]H1285-receptor complexes bound all the resins to a lesser degree when compared to [3H]estradiol-receptor complexes. Partially purified receptor complexes also showed different resin-binding patterns for salt- and ATP-mediated activation. These findings suggest that salt-activation is different than ATP-activation. Further, the differential magnitude of [3H]estradiol- and [3H]H1285-receptor activation suggests that estrogen-receptor complexes are "fully" activated as compared to "partially" activated antiestrogen-receptor complexes. 相似文献

The binding of hepatic [3H] dexamethasone-receptor complexes to DNA-cellulose and purified nuclei was studied in the immature (3-week) and mature (26-week) Long-Evans male rats to determine the age-associated changes, if any, in the physicochemical properties of glucocorticoid-receptors. Our data show that heat activation (for 45 min at 25 degrees C) significantly enhances the binding of [3H] dexamethasone-receptor complexes to DNA-cellulose and purified nuclei at both the ages, with a greater magnitude in mature rats. Cross-mixing experiments (i.e. binding of activated cytosol from mature rats to nuclei of immature and vice-versa) show receptor specificity. Ca2+ activation (20mM Ca2+ for 45 min at 0 degrees C) also enhances the nuclear and DNA-cellulose binding at both the ages but to a similar extent. These findings indicate that some of the physicochemical properties (e.g. heat activation) of glucocorticoid receptor change, while others (e.g. Ca2+ activation) remain unchanged at these phases of the life span. The observed changes may lead to functional alterations in the tissue response as a function of age. 相似文献

The data reported here demonstrate that the synthetic steroid RU 38486 functions as an optimal antagonist in the glucocorticoid-sensitive human leukemic cell line CEM-C7. This steroid blocks the ability of the potent agonist triamcinolone acetonide (TA) to induce glutamine synthetase activity and to ultimately cause cell lysis, but when given alone does not exhibit partial agonist activity. Both [3H]RU 38486 and [3H]TA bind with high affinity and specificity to cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors in this cell line. However, under a variety of in vitro conditions (elevated temperature and presence of exogenous ATP), [3H]TA promotes receptor activation more effectively than [3H]RU 38486. This difference in the extent of activation was verified by two independent techniques: DEAE-cellulose chromatography and DNA-cellulose binding. [3H]RU 38486 and [3H]TA dissociate at the same rate from the unactivated receptors but at 25 degrees C (not 0 degree C) [3H]RU 38486 dissociates slightly more rapidly from the activated receptors. The defective receptors in the glucocorticoid-resistant subclone 3R7 appear to be "activation labile" (rapid dissociation of ligand from activated form) using either tritiated steroid. Once activated in vivo, the CEM-C7 [3H]TA- and [3H]RU 38486-receptor complexes undergo similar nuclear translocation and those activated complexes generated in vitro appear to bind to nonspecific DNA-cellulose with the same relative affinities. Thus the precise mechanism(s) by which RU 38486 exerts its potent antiglucocorticoid effect in this human cell line cannot be easily explained in terms of a defect in one of the crucial steps (specific high affinity binding, activation, translocation, DNA binding) required to elicit a physiological response. However, the data presented here do suggest that when comparing an antagonist and agonist which both bind to receptors with the same relative high affinity, the agonist may be more effective in facilitating the conformational change associated with in vitro activation. 相似文献

The binding of the rat hepatic dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors to the polyanionic matrices heparin-Sepharose and DNA-cellulose in vitro and to cell nuclei in vivo was studied under various conditions. In a non-liganded and non-activated state both receptors eluted from heparin-Sepharose at a low ionic strength and were not retained on DNA-cellulose. Following ligandation and activation in vitro both receptors showed an increased affinity for heparin-Sepharose and were retained on DNA-cellulose. In analogy to these in vitro data, it was found that a high salt concentration (0.4 M KCl) was required to extract in vivo liganded dioxin receptor from purified nuclear preparations in contrast to that previously reported for non-liganded nuclear receptors. Limited proteolysis of both dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors resulted in molecular species of similar binding properties with regard to DNA-cellulose and heparin-Sepharose. We conclude that, in addition to the dioxin and glucocorticoid receptors showing considerable similarities in their physicochemical properties, they may also share a similar structural organization with regard to functional domains. 相似文献

Purification, characterization, and activation of the glucocorticoid-receptor complex from rat kidney cortex 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The unactivated molybdate-stabilized glucocorticoid receptor (GcR) was purified from rat kidney cortex cytosol (RKcC) by using a modification of the procedure previously described by this laboratory for rat hepatic receptor. The purification includes affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The final preparation (approximately 1000-fold pure as determined from specific radioactivity) was used in subsequent physicochemical and functional analyses. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed a single heavily Coomassie-stained band at 90 kilodaltons. Density gradient ultracentrifugation indicated a sedimentation coefficient of 10.5 +/- 0.05 S (n = 2). Chromatography on an analytical gel filtration column produced a Stokes radius (Rs) of 6.4 +/- 0.07 nm (n = 5). The Rs was unchanged when the molybdate-stabilized GcR was analyzed in the presence of 400 mM KCl or when analyzed in the unpurified (cytosolic) state. In contrast, the hepatic GcR was observed to exist as a larger form in cytosol (7.7 +/- 0.2 nm). Following purification, or upon gel filtration analysis under hypertonic conditions, the Rs was similar to that of the unpurified RKcC GcR. Following removal of molybdate from RKcC GcR and thermal activation (25 degrees C/30 min), DNA-cellulose binding increased 1.5-2-fold over the unheated control. Addition of RKcC or hepatic cytosol (endogenous receptors thermally denatured at 90 degrees C/30 min or presaturated with 10(-7) M radioinert ligand) during thermal activation increased DNA-cellulose binding an additional 2-6-fold beyond the heated control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

AbstractWe studied the effects of temperature, ribonucleotides and sodium molybdate on the activation and DNA cellulose binding of estrogen, glucocorticoid, progesterone and androgen receptor complexes in MCF-7 cells. Using DNA cellulose binding as a measure of receptor activation, we found that ribonucleotides activated all four of these receptor complexes. Temperature also activated glucocorticoid receptor complexes efficiently but activated progesterone and androgen receptor complexes less well. Temperature did not activate estrogen receptor complexes. Sodium molybdate blocked either ATP or temperature induced activation of glucocorticoid, progesterone and androgen receptor complexes but only partially blocked estrogen activation. Sodium molybdate also prevented the formation of multiple forms of estrogen and glucocorticoid receptor complexes seen on DEAE cellulose and hydroxylapatite chromatography of crude cytosol. The mechanism by which ribonucleotide enhances and molybdate inhibits activation are discussed. 相似文献

Sodium molybdate can affect the properties of the glucocorticoid receptor in relatively crude preparations. To obtain more information as to whether these effects are due to direct interactions of the ion with the receptor or with other components present in the receptor-containing mixtures, the effects were examined of sodium molybdate on glucocorticoid receptors purified 3000-5000-fold to about 10% homogeneity from rat liver cytosol. The ion was found to: (1) increase the stability of the purified receptor at either 0 or 20 degrees C, although the effect was more pronounced at 20 degrees C (2) induce an apparent dimerization of the receptors as judged by sephadex G-150 gel filtration and sucrose density gradient sedimentation and (3) decrease the ionic strength required for elution of the purified receptor from DEAE-cellulose columns. Although, it is conceivable that each of these observed effects is due to indirect actions of the ion on contaminants in the preparations, it is more likely that the ion exerts its effects through direct interactions with the receptor. 相似文献
