Benextramine, a tetramine disulfide, irreversibly inhibits neuropeptide Y (NPY) binding to the 50-kDa Y2 NPY receptor in bovine hippocampus (Li, W., MacDonald, R. G., and Hexum, T. D. (1991) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 207, 89-91). Evidence is presented that this inhibition occurs through a thiol-disulfide exchange. Treatment of bovine hippocampal membranes with benextramine inhibited NPY affinity cross-linking to the 50-kDa receptor. This inhibition of labeling was not affected by washing the membranes, but could be completely reversed by the addition of several thiol reducing reagents, including reduced glutathione, beta-mercaptoethanol, and cysteine. Benextramine inhibited 70% of NPY-specific labeling and was much more effective than other sulfhydryl reactive agents, such as oxidized glutathione, cystamine, and 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Furthermore, the sulfhydryl-modifying agents N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuriphenyl-sulfonic acid specifically decreased NPY affinity labeling. Finally, NPY labeling of the 50-kDa receptor was reduced by the heavy metal ions Zn2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+. Preincubation with NPY prevented Y2 receptors from being inactivated by either 400 microM N-ethylmaleimide or 1 mM benextramine. These results suggest that one or more benextramine-sensitive sulfhydryl groups on the Y2 receptor are important for NPY binding activity. 相似文献

Affinity labeling of [125I]NPY to the bovine hippocampal NPY receptor has revealed a 50 kDa specific binding protein, the Y2 receptor. Cysteamine (10 microM - 10 mM) specifically enhanced NPY specific labeling of the Y2 receptor without affecting cross-linking efficiency. Several structurally related agents, including reduced glutathione, cysteine, beta-mercaptoethanol and ethanolamine, were without effect on receptor binding. The enhancement of binding by cysteamine could be reversed by washing the membranes. These studies suggest that cysteamine may change the conformation of the NPY Y2 receptor and increase its binding activity. 相似文献

Based on the identification of residues that determine receptor selectivity in arrestins and the phylogenetic analysis of the arrestin (arr) family, we introduced fifteen mutations of receptor-discriminator residues in arr-3, which were identified previously using mutagenesis, in vitro binding, and BRET-based recruitment assay in intact cells. The effects of these mutations were tested using neuropeptide Y receptors Y1R and Y2R. NPY-elicited arr-3 recruitment to Y1R was not affected by these mutations, or even alanine substitution of all ten residues (arr-3-NCA), which prevented arr-3 binding to other receptors tested so far. However, NCA and two other mutations prevented agonist-independent arr-3 pre-docking to Y1R. In contrast, eight out of 15 mutations significantly reduced agonist-dependent arr-3 recruitment to Y2R. NCA eliminated arr-3 binding to active Y2R, whereas Tyr239Thr reduced it ~ 7-fold. Thus, manipulation of key residues on the receptor-binding surface generates arr-3 with high preference for Y1R over Y2R. Several mutations differentially affect arr-3 pre-docking and agonist-induced recruitment. Thus, arr-3 recruitment to the receptor involves several mechanistically distinct steps. Targeted mutagenesis can fine-tune arrestins directing them to specific receptors and particular activation states of the same receptor. 相似文献

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the mammalian brain and exerts a variety of physiological processes in humans via four different receptor subtypes Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. Y2 receptor is the most abundant Y subtype receptor in the central nervous system and implicated with food intake, bone formation, affective disorders, alcohol and drugs of abuse, epilepsy, pain, and cancer. The lack of small molecule non-peptidic Y2 receptor modulators suitable as in vivo pharmacological tools hampered the progress to uncover the precise pharmacological role of Y2. Only in recent years, several potent, selective and non-peptidic Y2 antagonists have been discovered providing the tools to validate Y2 receptor as a therapeutic target. This Letter reviews Y2 receptor modulators mainly non-peptidic antagonists and their structure–activity relationships. 相似文献

The antiparallel pancreatic polypeptide fold in the binding of neuropeptide Y to Y1 and Y2 receptors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) belongs to the pancreatic polypeptide fold (PP-fold) family of regulatory peptides. Analysis of circular dicroic spectra of NPY showed that it has a high degree of secondary structure in aqueous solution which is in agreement with the globular, folded crystal structure of PP. Using three different approaches with synthetic peptides, we have probed the importance of the PP-fold structure in the interaction of NPY with two types of binding sites, Y1 and Y2 receptors. First, stepwise construction of the NPY molecule from the C-terminal amidated end, showed that although C-terminal fragments encompassing most of the long alpha-helix reacted reasonably well with the Y2 receptor, both Y1 and Y2 receptors required the presence of both ends of the PP-fold for full activity. Second, perturbation of the PP-fold by substitution with a helix-breaking proline residue, resulted in the loss of recognition of the N-terminal segment of the molecule by both types of receptors. Finally, a hybrid analog was constructed in which the essential, but by itself inactive, C-terminal segment of NPY was joined with the PP-fold motif of PP. This segment of PP is only 43% homologous to the similar motif in NPY, and most of the common residues cluster in the hydrophobic core of the fold. Nevertheless, the hybrid analog reacted with almost full potency on the Y2 receptors. It is concluded that the antiparallel PP-fold is of structural importance for the receptor binding of NPY, and that its main function is to present the combined C- and N-terminal segments of the molecule to the receptors. 相似文献

The solution structure and self-association behaviour of a 13 residue peptide analogue of the C-terminal region of human neuropeptide Y (NPY) have been investigated. NMR analysis of Ac[Leu(28,31)]NPY(24-36), a potent Y2 receptor agonist, shows that it is unstructured in aqueous solution at 5-20 degrees C, but forms a well-defined helix (encompassing residues 25-35) in 40% trifluoroethanol/water at 20 degrees C. Sedimentation experiments show that, in contrast to many peptides in aqueous trifluoroethanol, Ac[Leu(28,31)]NPY(24-36) associates to form a trimer or, more likely, a tetramer in 40% trifluoroethanol, even though it is monomeric in water. This is consistent with the observation of inter-molecular nuclear Overhauser enhancements in trifluoroethanol. Possible models of the associated form that are consistent with the NMR data are described. The relevance of the helical structure observed in trifluoroethanol to the structure of this peptide bound to the NPY Y2 receptor is discussed. 相似文献

C5L2 is a new cellular receptor found to interact with the human anaphylatoxins complement factor C5a and its C-terminal cleavage product C5a des Arg. The classical human C5a receptor (C5aR) preferentially binds C5a, with a 10-100-fold lower affinity for C5a des Arg. In contrast, C5L2 binds both ligands with nearly equal affinity. C5aR presents acidic and tyrosine residues in its N terminus that interact with the core of C5a while a hydrophobic pocket formed by the transmembrane helices interacts with residues in the C terminus of C5a. Here, we have investigated the molecular basis for the increased affinity of C5L2 for C5a des Arg. Rat and mouse C5L2 preferentially bound C5a des Arg, whereas rodent C5aR showed much higher affinity for intact C5a. Effective peptidic and non-peptidic ligands for the transmembrane hydrophobic pocket of C5aR were poor inhibitors of ligand binding to C5L2. An antibody raised against the N terminus of human C5L2 did not affect the binding of C5a to C5L2 but did inhibit C5a des Arg binding. A chimeric C5L2, containing the N terminus of C5aR, had little effect on the affinity for C5a des Arg. Mutation of acidic and tyrosine residues in the N terminus of human C5L2 revealed that 3 residues were critical for C5a des Arg binding but had little involvement in C5a binding. C5L2 thus appears to bind C5a and C5a des Arg by different mechanisms, and, unlike C5aR, C5L2 uses critical residues in its N-terminal domain for binding only to C5a des Arg. 相似文献

The endogenous neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH 1-13), previously found to have marked antipyretic activity, inhibits histamine-induced increases in vasopermeability. The primary antipyretic amino acid message sequence is believed to be the COOH-terminal trieptide, lysine-proline-valine. In recent preliminary research this tripeptide inhibited increases in vasopermeability, raising the possibility that this portion of the alpha-MSH molecule has general antiinflammatory activity. To test this idea, the effects of graded doses of alpha-MSH [11-13] on ear swelling induced by picryl chloride in mice were compared with the effects of saline and a large dose of corticosteroid. Alpha-MSH [11-13] inhibited swelling in a dose-related fashion. This result, together with previous findings, suggests that endogenous circulating alpha-MSH and its COOH-terminal fragments may contribute to modulation of physiological responses in host defense. If this is true, it may be possible to develop new peptide drugs or mimetics based on the tripeptide that are useful in treating inflammation. 相似文献

A fragment of barnase comprising amino acids 1 to 36 (B(1-36)) that encompasses the region containing the two large helices (residues 6-18 and 26-34) of the native protein has been obtained by cleavage of the barnase mutant Val36----Met with cyanogen bromide. The circular dichroism (c.d.) spectrum of B(1-36) in the far ultraviolet indicates that the fragment is only weakly structured in water at neutral pH. The two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of B(1-36) shows, however, that a fraction of the population does have helical structure, spanning amino acid residues 8 to 18. B(1-36) becomes more helical in 35% trifluoroethanol. This is indicated by the c.d. spectrum and the increase from 6.6 to 7.0 in the pKa of His18, which is known to interact with the dipole of helix 6-18 in native barnase. The helical region of B(1-36) in 35% trifluoroethanol extends to residue 6. It is calculated from extrapolation of a trifluoroethanol titration of the ellipticity at 222 nm that B(1-36) exhibits in water approximately 6% of helical structure, calculated for a 36 residue alpha-helical peptide. This corresponds to approximately 20% of that expected for an 11-residue alpha-helical region. In trifluoroethanol, c.d. measurements indicate that approximately 30% of the 36-residue peptide is helical. It has been shown from extensive studies of the refolding of barnase that there is a folding intermediate that contains residues 8 to 18 in a helical conformation and that residue 6 is mainly unfolded. The experiments on the conformation of B(1-36) show that a small, but significant fraction, of its population in water adopts the conformation of the major alpha-helix during the barnase folding pathway, in the absence of tertiary interactions. Thus, in the folding of native barnase, secondary structure formation can precede the docking of the major alpha-helix onto the beta-sheet. 相似文献

The N-terminal extracellular parts of human G-protein coupled receptor class B, for example, receptors for secretin, glucagon, or parathyroid hormone, are involved in ligand binding. To obtain structural and functional information on the N-terminal receptor fragment of human parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1), the truncated receptor was expressed in the cytosol of Escherichia coli in the form of inclusion bodies. Oxidative refolding of inclusion body material resulted in stable, soluble, monomeric protein. Ligand binding was proved by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. Refolded receptor fragment was able to bind parathyroid hormone with an apparent dissociation constant of 3-5 microM. Far-UV circular dichroism spectra showed that the refolded polypeptide contained approximately 25% alpha-helical and 23% beta-sheet secondary structures. Analysis of the disulfide bond pattern of the refolded receptor fragment revealed disulfide bonds between Cys170 and Cys131, Cys148 and Cys108, and Cys117 and Cys48. These results demonstrate that the extracellular N-terminal domain of the parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR1) possesses a well-defined, stable conformation, which shows a significant ligand binding activity. 相似文献

The synthesis and evaluation of a series of 2,4-diaminopyridine-based neuropeptide Y Y1 (NPY Y1) receptor antagonists are described. Compound 1 was previously reported by our laboratory to be a potent and selective Y1 antagonist; however, 1 was also found to have potent hERG inhibitory activity. The main focus of this communication is structure–activity relationship development aimed at eliminating the hERG activity of 1. This resulted in the identification of compound 3d as a potent and selective NPY Y1 antagonist with reduced hERG liability. 相似文献

We have cloned the guinea pig neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor and found it to be 92-93% identical to other cloned mammalian Y1 receptors. Porcine NPY and peptide YY (PYY) displayed affinities of 43 pM and 48 pM, respectively. NPY2-36 and NPY3-36 had 6- and 46-fold lower affinity, respectively, than intact NPY. Functional coupling was measured by using a microphysiometer. Human NPY and PYY were equipotent in causing extracellular acidification with EC50 values of 0.59 nM and 0.69 nM, respectively, whereas NPY2-36 and NPY3-36 were about 15-fold and 500-fold less potent, respectively, than NPY. The present study shows that the cloned guinea pig Y1 receptor is very similar to its orthologues in other mammals, both with respect to sequence and pharmacology. Thus, results from previous studies on guinea pig NPY receptors might imply the existence of an additional Y1-like receptor sensitive to B1BP3226. 相似文献

The brain neuropeptide Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an important modulator of a number of centrally mediated processes including feeding, anxiety-like behaviors, blood pressure and others. NPY produces its effects through at least four functional G-protein coupled receptors termed Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. In the brain, the Y1 and Y2 receptor subtypes are the predominant receptor population. To better understand the roles of NPY, genetically modified mice lacking NPY were produced but lacked the expected phenotypes. These mice have previously been reported to have a marked increase in Y2 receptor binding. In the present study, we found an upregulation of both Y1 and Y2 receptor binding and extended these findings to the female. These increases were as large as 10-fold or greater in many brain regions. To assess functional coupling of the receptors, we performed agonist-induced [(35)S]GTPgammaS autoradiography. In the mouse brain, the Y1/Y4/Y5 agonist Leu(31),Pro(34)-NPY increased [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding with a regional distribution consistent with that produced when labeling adjacent sections with [(125)I]-Leu(31),Pro(34)-PYY. In a few brain regions, minor increases were noted in the agonist-induced binding when comparing knock out mice to wild type. The Y2 agonist C2-NPY stimulated [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding in numerous brain areas with a regional distribution similar to the binding observed with [(125)I]-PYY3-36. Again, no major increases were noted in the functional activation of Y2 receptors between knock out and wild type mice. Therefore, the increased Y1 and Y2 binding observed in the NPY knock out mice does not represent an increase in NPY receptor mediated signaling and is likely due to an increase in spare (uncoupled) receptors. 相似文献

The neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y2 receptor shows a large masked surface population in adherent CHO cells or in forebrain cell aggregates, but not in dispersed cells or in particulates from these sources. This is related to adhesion via acidic motifs in the extracellular N-terminal domain. Masking of the Y2 receptor is lifted by non-permeabilizing mechanical dispersion of cells, which also increases internalization of Y2 agonists. Mechanical dispersion and detachment by EDTA expose the same number of surface sites. As we have already shown, phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a cysteine-bridging agent, and to a lesser extent also the cysteine alkylator N-ethylmaleimide, unmask the surface Y2 sites without cell detachment or permeabilization. We now demonstrate that unmasking by permeabilizing but non-detaching treatment with cholesterol-binding detergents digitonin and edelfosine compares with and overlaps that of PAO. The caveolar/raft cholesterol-targeting macrolide filipin III however produces only partial unmasking. Depletion of the surface sites by N-terminally clipped Y2 agonists indicates larger accessibility for a short highly helical peptide. These findings indicate presence of a dynamic masked pool including majority of the cell surface Y2 receptors in adherent CHO cells. This compartmentalization is obviously involved in the low internalization of Y2 receptors in these cells. 相似文献

Analogues of BIBP 3226, (R)-N(alpha)-diphenylacetyl-N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)argininamide, were synthesized and investigated for Y1 antagonism (Ca2+-assay, HEL cells) and binding on Y1, Y2 and Y5 receptors. Replacing the benzylamino by a tetrahydrobenzazepinyl group preserves most of the Y1 activity. Combination with a N(G)-phenylpropyl arginine and a N(alpha)-p-biphenylylacetyl moiety shifted the NPY receptor selectivity towards Y5. 相似文献

The structural organization of the oxysterol receptor, postulated to be involved in the regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and cholesterol biosynthesis in mammalian cells, has been explored by limited proteolysis with trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and endoproteinase GluC. Treatment with each of these proteases converts the receptor from a homodimer of approximately 95 kDa subunits to a 44-kDa form, based on hydrodynamic measurements by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and gel filtration chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of photoaffinity-labeled preparations indicates that the oxysterol binding site is on a 28-kDa fragment within the 44-kDa limit form of the receptor. The limit proteolytic form exhibits the high affinity and structural specificity for oxysterols of the native dimeric receptor with an increase in the rate constant of association for 25-hydroxycholesterol. The proteolytic form also shows an increased binding affinity for nonspecific DNA, but no sequence specificity for the oxysterol regulatory element from the reductase gene was detected. 相似文献

The Y5 receptor has been postulated to be the main receptor mediating NPY-induced food intake in rats, based on its pharmacological profile and mRNA distribution. To further characterize this important receptor subtype, we isolated the Y5 gene in the guinea pig, a widely used laboratory animal in which all other known NPY receptors (Y1, Y2, Y4, y6) [2,13,33,37] have recently been cloned by our group. Our results show that the Y5 receptor is well conserved between species; guinea pig Y5 displays 96% overall amino acid sequence identity to human Y5, the highest identity reported for any non-primate NPY receptor orthologue, regardless of subtype. Thirteen of the twenty substitutions occur in the large third cytoplasmic loop. The identities between the guinea pig Y5 receptor and the dog, rat, and mouse Y5 receptors are 93%, 89%, and 89% respectively. When transiently expressed in EBNA cells, the guinea pig Y5 receptor showed a high binding affinity to iodinated porcine PYY with a dissociation constant of 0.41 nM. Competition experiments showed that the rank order of potency for NPY-analogues was PYY = NPY = NPY2-36 > gpPP > rPP > NPY 22-36. Thus the pharmacological profile of the guinea pig Y5 receptor agrees well with that reported for the Y5 receptor from other cloned species. 相似文献
