The existence of multiple affinity states for the opiate receptor in neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells has been demonstrated by competition binding studies with tritiated diprenorphine and [D-Ala2, D-Leu5]enkephalin (DADLE). In the presence of 10 mM Mg2+, all receptors exist in a high affinity state with Kd = 1.88 +/- 0.16 nM. Addition of 10 microM guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) decreased the affinity of DADLE to Kd = 8.08 +/- 0.93 nM. However, in the presence of 100 mM Na+, which is required for opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity, analysis of competition binding data revealed three sites: the first, consisting of 17.5% of total receptor population has a Kd = 0.38 +/- 0.18 nM; the second, 50.6% of the population, has a Kd = 6.8 +/- 2.2 nM; and the third, 31.9% of the population, has a Kd of 410 +/- 110 nM. Thus, in the presence of sodium, a high affinity complex between receptor (R), GTP binding component (Ni), and ligand (L) was formed which was different from that formed in the absence of sodium. These multiple affinity states of receptor in the hybrid cells are agonist-specific, and the percentage of total opiate receptor in high affinity state is relatively constant in various concentrations of Na+. Multiple affinity states of opiate receptor can be demonstrated further by Scatchard analysis of saturation binding studies with [3H]DADLE. In the presence of Mg2+, or Gpp(NH)p, analysis of [3H]DADLE binding demonstrates that opiate receptor can exist in a single affinity state, with apparent Kd values of [3H]DADLE in 10 mM Mg2+ = 1.75 +/- 0.28 nM and in 10 microM Gpp(NH)p = 0.85 +/- 0.12 nM. There is a reduction of Bmax value from 0.19 +/- 0.02 nM in the presence of Mg2+ to 0.14 +/- 0.03 nM in the presence of Gpp(NH)p. In the presence of 100 mM Na+, Scatchard analysis of saturation binding of [3H]DADLE reveals nonlinear plots; two-site analysis of the curves yields Kd = 0.43 +/- 0.09 and 7.9 +/- 3.2 nM. These Kd values are analogous to that obtained with competition binding studies. Again, this conversion of single site binding Scatchard plots to multiple sites binding plots in the presence of Na+ is restricted to 3H-agonist binding only.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

In continuing studies on smooth microsomal and synaptic membranes from rat forebrain, we compared the binding properties of opiate receptors in these two discrete subcellular populations. Receptors in both preparations were saturable and stereospecific. Scatchard and Hill plots of [3H]naloxone binding to microsomes and synaptic membranes were similar to plots for crude membranes. Both synaptic membranes and smooth microsomes contained similar enrichments of low- and high-affinity [3H]naloxone binding sites. No change in the affinity of the receptors was observed. When [3H]D-ala2-D-leu5-enkephalin was used as ligand, microsomes possessed 60% fewer high-affinity sites than did synaptic membranes, and a large number of low-affinity sites. In competition binding experiments microsomal opiate receptors lacked the sensitivity to (guanyl-5'-yl)imidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] shown by synaptic and crude membrane preparations. In this respect microsomal opiate receptors resembled membranes that were experimentally guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-uncoupled with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Agonist binding to microsomal and synaptic membrane opiate receptors was decreased by 100 mM NaCl. Like NEM-treated crude membranes, microsomal receptors were capable of differentiating agonist and antagonists in the presence of 100 mM NaCl. MnCl2 (50-100 microM) reversed the effects of 100 mM NaCl and 50 microM GTP on binding of the mu-specific agonist [3H]dihydromorphine in both membrane populations. Since microsomal receptors are unable to distinguish agonists from antagonists in the presence of Gpp(NH)p, they are a convenient source of guanine nucleotide-uncoupled opiate receptors.  相似文献

Serotonergic raphe deafferentiation elicits an up regulation of a nM (3H)WB-4101 binding site in rat hippocampus for which norepinephrine displays high affinity and prazosin displays low affinity. Guanine nucleotide affects the nM binding to hippocampal alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Firstly, Gpp(NH)p, a nonhydrolyzable analog of GTP, inhibits (3H)WB-4101 binding at 3 nM concentration of the radioligand, the ligand concentration labelling the lower affinity, nM, binding site. Secondly, the addition of Gpp(NH)p causes recovery of the heterogeneity of binding sites lost upon preincubation of the membranes with 100 microM epinephrine, apparently by decreasing the affinity of the nM (3H)WB-4101 binding site for the adrenergic receptors. The phenomenon was still observed in the presence of saturating concentrations of the alpha-2 antagonist, yohimbine, and the beta antagonist, propranolol. The results imply that Gpp(NH)p regulates ligand binding to hippocampal alpha-1 agonist sites. It is likely that agonist and antagonist binding sites for the alpha-1 receptor exist in hippocampus with the agonist site being modulated by serotonin.  相似文献

The role of the hypothalamic tripeptide L-prolyl-L-leucyl-glycinamide (PLG) in modulating the agonist binding to bovine striatal dopamine D2 receptor was investigated using a selective high-affinity agonist, n-propylnorapomorphine (NPA). PLG caused an enhancement in [3H]NPA binding in striatal membranes in a dose-dependent manner, the maximum effect being observed at 10(-7)-10(-6) M concentration of the tripeptide. The Scatchard analysis of [3H]NPA binding to membranes preincubated with 10(-6) M PLG revealed a significant increase in the affinity of the agonist binding sites. In contrast, there was no effect of PLG on the binding pattern of the antagonist [3H]spiroperidol. The antagonist versus agonist competition curves analyzed for agonist high- and low-affinity states of the receptor displayed an increase in the population and affinity of the high-affinity form of the receptor with PLG treatment. The low-affinity sites concomitantly decreased with relatively small change in the affinity for the agonists. Almost similar results were obtained when either NPA or apomorphine was used in the competition experiments. A partial antagonistic effect of PLG on 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p]-induced inhibition of high-affinity agonist binding was also observed, as the ratio of high- to low-affinity forms of the receptor was significantly higher in the PLG-treated membranes compared to the controls. Direct [3H]NPA binding experiments demonstrated that PLG attenuated the Gpp(NH)p-induced inhibition of agonist binding by increasing the EC50 of the nucleotide (concentration that inhibits 50% of the specific binding). No effect of PLG on high-affinity [3H]NPA binding, however, could be observed when the striatal membranes were preincubated with Gpp(NH)p.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Computer-assisted quantitative analysis of radioligand binding to rat cortical S2 serotonin receptors indicates the existence of two affinity states of the same receptor population. Monophasic antagonist competition curves for [3H]ketanserin-labelled sites suggest a uniform population of receptors with one affinity state for antagonists. Biphasic competition curves of agonists suggest that agonists discriminate high- and low-agonist-affinity forms of the S2 receptors. The affinities of agonists for the high- and low-affinity states, and the apparent percentages of high agonist-affinity forms varies with different agonists. The guanine nucleotides GTP and guanyl-5'-imido-diphosphate [Gpp(NH)p], as well as divalent cations, modulate the proportion of the sites with high affinity for agonists as evidenced by their ability to shift the agonist competition curves for [3H]ketanserin-labelled S2 receptors. GTP and Gpp(NH)p effects appear to be agonist-specific, as they do not affect antagonist competition for [3H]ketanserin-labelled S2 receptors, or [3H]ketanserin binding to S2 receptors. ATP and ADP have little or no effect on the binding properties of S2 serotonin receptors, whereas GDP is less potent than GTP. The presence of these specific nucleotide effects are the first evidence suggesting involvement of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein in the mechanism of agonist interaction with the S2 serotonin receptor. In general, the binding properties of [3H]ketanserin-labelled S2 serotonin receptors strongly resemble those of adenylate-cyclase coupled receptors such as the beta-adrenergic, the alpha 2-receptor, and the D-2 dopamine receptor. This may indicate the S2 serotonin receptor is coupled to adenylate cyclase activity, through a GTP binding protein.  相似文献

The modulation of the dopamine receptor in MtTW15 tumors was investigated. The antagonist dopaminergic binding site in MtTW15 tumors labelled with [3H]spiperone remains unchanged at 25 degrees C in the presence or absence of sodium or guanine nucleotides (Gpp(NH)p); by contrast at 37 degrees C sodium increases the affinity while Gpp(NH)p decreases it slightly. The dopamine receptor in this tumor, such as the intact adenohypophysis, exists in a high and low affinity state for dopamine agonists. These agonist affinity states evaluated with apomorphine competition for [3H]spiperone binding show similar affinities as those of intact tissue but have a lower proportion of the high affinity state. At 25 degrees C, a partial conversion of the high into the low affinity state is obtained in the presence of both sodium and Gpp(NH)p, while at 37 degrees C a complete conversion is observed. These data show differences in the modulation of antagonist and agonist dopaminergic binding sites in MtTW15 pituitary tumors compared with the intact pituitary.  相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated a specific vascular receptor for the neurotransmitter peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and have suggested that the receptor is positively coupled to vascular adenylate cyclase. The present study addressed the questions whether the vascular VIP receptor is subject to regulation by guanine nucleotides and whether a disulfide reducing agent, dithiothreitol, would perturb the binding function of the vascular VIP receptor. Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and its non-hydrolyzable analogs, guanylyl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S), increased the rate of dissociation of radiolabeled VIP from arterial receptors in a concentration-dependent manner. GTP-gamma-S increased the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of the high affinity vascular VIP binding site, a result consistent with decreased high affinity binding of VIP induced by GTP-gamma-S. These results are consistent with a regulatory role for guanine nucleotides in the function of the vascular VIP receptor. The disulfide reducing agent, dithiothreitol, caused a decrease in specific binding of radiolabeled VIP. Upon Scatchard analysis the effect of dithiothreitol was characterized by an increase in the KD and a decrease in the maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) of the high affinity binding site. These results suggest that disulfide bonds are important for ligand binding to vascular VIP receptors. The sulfhydryl alkylating agents, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide, had minimal effects on radioligand binding.  相似文献

Binding sites were solubilized from human placental membrane using 1.5% sodium cholate and were assayed using polyethylene glycol precipitation. These soluble binding sites had properties of an adenosine A1 binding site. 2-[3H]Chloroadenosine and N-[3H]-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) binding were time dependent and reversible. Scatchard plots indicate two classes of binding sites with Kd values of 6 and 357 nM for 2-chloro[8-3H]adenosine and 0.1 and 26 nM with [3H]NECA. The specificity of [3H]NECA binding was assessed by the ability of adenosine analogs to complete for binding sites. Using this approach the estimated IC50 values were 60 nM for (R-PIA), 160 nM for S-PIA, 80 nM for NECA, and 20 nM for 2-chloroadenosine. Binding of [3H]NECA to the soluble sites is inhibited to 48% of the control value by 100 microM guanylyl-5'-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). The IC50 value for NECA binding to the soluble binding site was increased from 80 nM to 1500 by Gpp(NH)p. There was a shift of binding affinity from a mixture of high and low affinity to only low affinity with 100 microM Gpp(NH)p. Despite these alterations a NECA prelabeled molecular species of 150 kDa did not decrease in molecular weight upon the addition of 100 microM Gpp(NH)p during high-performance liquid chromatography on a Superose 12 column. Other evidence to support the concept of preferential solubilization and assay of a small population of A1 binding sites was obtained. Following solubilization adenosine A2-like binding sites could be detected only in reconstituted vesicles. The existence of small amounts of A1 binding sites in intact human placental membranes was directly demonstrated using the A1 agonist ligand N6-[3H]cyclohexyladenosine and the A1 antagonist ligand 8-[3H]cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine. JAR choriocarcinoma cells have "A2-like" membrane binding sites. In contrast to placental membranes, only A2-like binding sites could be solubilized from JAR choriocarcinoma cells. These observations indicate that human placental membranes contain adenosine A1 binding sites in addition to A2-like binding sites. These sites are guanine nucleotide sensitive, but do not shift to a lower molecular weight form upon assumption of a low affinity state.  相似文献

The kappa nature of opioid binding sites in a brush border membrane (BBM) fraction from human placenta has been confirmed: these sites display considerably higher apparent affinity (KI = 1.2 nM) for the kappa selective ligand U-50488 than they do for the mu and delta selective ligands [D-Ala2, MePhe4, Glyol5] enkephalin (KI = 1.5-2 microM) and [D-Thr2, Leu5] enkephalyl-Thr (KI = 10-15 microM), respectively. The BBM fraction from human placenta was incubated either with the agonist 3H-etorphine or with the antagonist 3H-diprenorphine and subsequently solubilized with digitonin. The solubilized macromolecular radioactivity was found to behave as a homogeneous entity both in molecular exclusion chromatography (app. rs = 6.1 nm) and in linear sucrose gradients (app. S20.w = 12 S). Two lines of evidence indicated that the placental kappa opioid receptor is capable of interacting with a guanine nucleotide regulatory (G) protein: (i) equilibrium binding of the agonist 3H-etorphine in the BBM fraction was clearly inhibited by 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), especially in the presence of Na+ ions while binding of the antagonist 3H-diprenorphine was significantly less so and (ii) the sedimentation velocity of the kappa opioid receptor was decreased down to about 10 S when the BBM fraction was prelabeled with radioligand in the presence of Gpp(NH)p prior to its solubilization with digitonin. The G protein that mediates the effect of Gpp(NH)p might be neither Gs nor Gi since no adenylate cyclase activity could be demonstrated in the BBM fraction from human placenta.  相似文献

The neuropeptide somatostatin potentiates beta-adrenergic receptor-mediated cAMP formation in astrocytes derived from neonatal rat cortex but does not affect cAMP levels by itself. beta-Adrenergic receptors in these cells can be specifically labeled with the high affinity antagonist [125I] cyanopindolol ([125I]CYP). In addition, astrocytes display both high and low affinity binding sites for the agonist isoproterenol, which are thought to represent receptors which are coupled or uncoupled, respectively, to the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. We find that somatostatin does not modify beta-receptor density, nor receptor affinity for either the antagonist ([125I]CYP) or for the agonist isoproterenol. In the presence of the guanine nucleotide analogue, Gpp(NH)p, only low affinity (uncoupled) displacement of [125I]CYP binding by isoproterenol is observed. However, somatostatin (1 microM), when added to the cells together with Gpp(NH)p, prevents the nucleotide-induced loss of the high affinity (coupled) component of agonist displacement. This result suggests that somatostatin increases noradrenaline-induced cAMP production by enhancing coupling between the beta-receptor and the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein.  相似文献

The muscarinic agonist [3H]cismethyldioxolane ([3H]CD) was used to characterize the effects of regulators upon high-affinity agonist binding sites of the rat heart, cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Comparative studies with sodium ions (Na+), magnesium ions (Mg++), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and the guanine nucleotide Gpp(NH)p revealed tissue-specific effects. Mg++ preferentially enhanced while Gpp(NH)p and NEM reduced high-affinity [3H]CD binding in the heart and cerebellum. By comparison NEM enhanced high-affinity agonist binding in the cerebral cortex while Gpp(NH)p and Mg++ had little or no effect. Kinetic studies support an allosteric mechanism for these effects and provide further evidence for muscarinic receptor subtypes in mammalian tissues.  相似文献

The effect of nucleotides on binding of the B2 kinin (BK) receptor agonist [3H]BK and the antagonist [3H]NPC17731 to particulate fractions of human foreskin fibroblasts was studied. At 0 degrees C, particulate fractions exhibited a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 2.3 nM for [3H]BK and a Kd of 3.8 nM for the antagonist [3H]NPC17731. Incubation with radioligands at 37 degrees C for 5 min gave a reduction of agonist, as well as antagonist, binding that was between 0-40% depending on the preparation, even in the absence of guanosine nucleotides. As shown by Scatchard analysis, this reduction in specific binding was due to a shift in the affinity of at least a fraction of the receptors. The presence at 37 degrees C of the guanine nucleotides GTP, GDP and their poorly hydrolyzable analogs left [3H]NPC17731 binding unaffected, but reduced the receptor affinity for [3H]BK to a Kd of about 15 nM. The maximal number of receptors, however, was unchanged. This affinity change was strongly dependent on the presence of bivalent cations, in particular Mg2+. It was reversed by incubation at 0 degrees C. The rank order of the guanosine nucleotides for [3H]BK binding reduction was GTP[gammaS] = Gpp[NH]p > GTP = GDP > GDP[betaS]. GMP, ATP, ADP and AMP showed no influence on agonist binding. A model for the interaction of the B2 kinin receptor with G proteins is discussed.  相似文献

In order to investigate the possibility that there may be two conformationally distinct dopamine D1 binding sites, the effect of lysine-modifying agents on striatal dopamine D1 receptors was investigated. Treatment with the distilbene derivative, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate, (DIDS), resulted in an irreversible D1 receptor inactivation that was associated with a 70% loss of binding sites. The remaining DIDS-insensitive sites displayed both a decreased affinity (approximately 5 fold) for the D1 antagonist SCH-23390 and an enhanced affinity of dopaminergic agonists (approximately 10 fold) for the agonist high-affinity form of the receptor. Pretreatment with Gpp(NH)p, a non-hydrolysable guanine nucleotide, prevented the formation of the agonist high-affinity form, indicating that these sites are G-protein-linked. Prior occupancy of D1 receptors with dopaminergic agonists and antagonists afforded no protection against DIDS inactivation, suggesting that a site outside the ligand binding subunit of the D1 receptor was modified. Taken together, these data suggest that [3H]SCH-23390 labels two conformationally distinct populations of dopamine D1 receptors.  相似文献

The catecholamine derivatives aminomenthylnorepinephrine (compound 1) and bromoacetylaminomenthylnorepinephrine (compound 2) were synthesized and their interaction with the rat lung beta-adrenoreceptor was characterized. Compared to (-)-isoproterenol, compounds 1 and 2 were 10 and 280 times less potent, respectively, at inhibiting (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol binding. At pH 7.4, all 3 compounds induced a loss of receptors (40-60%) which could be recovered by treatment with guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). However, at pH 8.1 Gpp(NH)p treatment did not recover those receptors lost by compound 2 only. The compound 2-induced receptor loss at pH 8.1 was time-dependent, prevented by propranolol but unaffected by Gpp(NH)p or after membrane heating at 50 degrees C which prevented the formation of the agonist high affinity binding state. Although, the maximal receptor loss as measured by [3H]dihydroalprenolol was 40-60%, more than 80% of the receptors were lost when measured by direct agonist binding, and the receptors left showed little agonist high affinity binding state formation. In rat reticulocyte membranes, compounds 1 and 2 stimulated adenylate cyclase activity with intrinsic activities of 0.55 and 0.31, respectively. However, at pH 8.1, compound 2 initially stimulated the enzyme followed by a blockade. These data indicated that both compounds 1 and 2 were partial beta-adrenoreceptor agonists and, at pH 8.1, compound 2 appeared to bind irreversibly only to those lung receptors able to form the agonist high affinity binding state. Furthermore, after irreversible binding, compound 2 appeared to act as an antagonist.  相似文献

Urea-treatment of the microsome fraction of the heart of guinea-pigs caused selective reduction in the apparent affinity of an agonist (carbachol), but not an antagonist (atropine), to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR), measured as inhibition of binding of 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3H-QNB). This effect was similar to that of Gpp(NH)p. The effects of urea-treatment and Gpp(NH)p were not additive. On the other hand, treatment of the microsome fraction with 5,5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) increased the apparent affinity of agonist, but not antagonist. The effect of DTNB predominated over those of urea-treatment and Gpp(NH)p, when these treatments were combined with DTNB.  相似文献

Agonist binding to muscarinic receptors from rat brain stem and cerebral cortex was studied using bisquaternary pyridinium oximes for detecting possible interactions between agonist binding sites and sites of the effector guanosine 5' (beta, gamma-imino) triphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and Co2+. Pretreatment of either brain stem or cortical homogenates with 200 microM 1-(2-hydroxyiminoethylpyridinium) 1-(3-phenylcarboxypyridinium) dimethylether (HGG-12) reduced the affinity of muscarinic agonists. No change was observed in the relative proportions of high (RH) and low (RL) affinity agonist binding sites. However, the oxime affected the processes of interconversion between these sites. Thus, unlike in control membranes, HGG-12 treated brain stem membranes, Gpp(NH)p could not induce conversion of RH to RL, and in cortical membranes Co2+ could not induce conversion of RL to RH. These results suggest that HGG-12 inactivates a component which is involved in both processes of induced-interconversion. Induced-interconversion between RH and RL was not affected in membranes treated with HGG-12 in the presence of carbamylcholine in concentrations at which mainly RH is occupied by the agonist. The occupation of RH by carbamylcholine protected both RH and RL from the effects of the oxime. The possible role of the molecular events involved is discussed.  相似文献

Summary Some novel observations dealing with antagonist binding to cardiac particulate muscarinic receptors are described. Gpp(NH)p increased (2–3 fold) the specific binding of [3H]-QNB or [3H]-NMS, both potent muscarinic antagonists, to washed particles (WP), but not microsomes (MIC), when the binding was conducted at 30°C. Magnesium, on the other hand, increased (2–3 fold) the binding of these antagonists to MIC, but not to WP, under the same condition. The treatment of subcellular fractions with 0.2 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a sulfhydryl reagent, failed to significantly modify the respective stimulatory actions of either Gpp(NH)p on WP binding or of magnesium on MIC binding of these antagonists; treatment with dithiothreitol (1 mM) was also ineffective in this regard. Gpp(NH)p decreased Kd (WP) while magnesium increased Kd (MIC) for [3H]-QNB. Repeated freezing/thawing of isolated subcellular fractions abolished the stimulatory effect of magnesium on onist binding to MIC but not of Gpp(NH)p on WP antagonist binding; the freeze/thaw procedure per se increased MIC binding but not WP binding of these antagonists. When the binding was conducted at 4°C (24 hr), the stimulatory effect of Gpp(NH)p on [3H]-QNB binding was enhanced (6-fold) in the case of WP and was detectable (80%) in the case of MIC. Under this condition, the stimulatory effect of magnesium on [3H]-QNB binding was also enhanced (5-fold) in the case of MIC and became evident (200%) in the case of WP. The results of this work support the following views: (a) antagonist-occupied cardiac muscarinic receptors are capable of interaction with guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G protein like G1,Go) and such interaction influences antagonist binding properties (e.g. increased affinity) of the cardiac membrane-associated muscarinic receptors (b) magnesium influences (decreased affinity) antagonist binding properties by interacting with multiple sites of which some are likely associated with components other than G proteins of the particulate fractions (c) a pool of NEM-sensitive sulfhydryls involved in the regulation of Gpp(NH)p-sensitive agonist binding to cardiac muscarinic receptors is not involved in the regulation by either Gpp(NH)p or magnesium of antagonist binding in these subcellular fractions and (d) membrane fluidity and microenvironment surrounding the receptor and G proteins contribute to the actions of Gpp(NH)p and magnesium on antagonist binding.  相似文献

Trypsin-treatment of the microsome fraction of the ileum and the synaptic membrane fraction of the cerebral cortex of guinea-pig caused selective reduction in the apparent affinity of an agonist (carbachol), but not an antagonist (atropine), to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR), measured as inhibition of binding of 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3H-QNB). This effect was similar to that of Gpp(NH)p. The effects of trypsin and Gpp(NH)p were not additive. On the other hand, treatment of these fractions with 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) increased the apparent affinity of agonist, but not antagonist. The effect of DTNB predominated over those of trypsin and Gpp(NH)p, when the fractions were treated with two reagents simultaneously.  相似文献

A study of the onset of cation and guanine nucleotide regulation of delta, mu, and kappa rat brain opioid receptors during postnatal development was undertaken. Site-specific binding assays were utilized for each receptor type and the effects of 0.5 mM MnCl2, 100 mM NaCl, and/or 50 microM guanosine-5'-(beta, gamma-imido) triphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] were assessed. The most pronounced changes of opioid binding were seen in the presence of Mn2+. In adults, agonist binding to delta sites was stimulated by Mn2+, whereas that to mu sites was not affected and kappa binding was inhibited. The postnatal development of Mn2+ regulation for the three receptor subtypes was distinctly different. The largest effects were seen on delta sites detected in the early neonatal period, Mn2+ eliciting a 68% stimulation of binding over controls at day 1. Significant inhibition of kappa site binding by Mn2+ was detected only after the third postnatal week. Mn2+ caused a significant reversal of Gpp(NH)p inhibition of delta binding in the early neonatal period, exceeding that in the absence of regulators. Inhibition of mu and delta receptor binding by Na+ was greater, and the Mn2+ reversal of this effect was smaller, in the first 2 postnatal weeks than in adults. Gpp(NH)p + Na+ regulation did not change appreciably during the postnatal period. However, Mn2+ reversal of the considerable inhibition elicited by the combination of Na+ and Gpp(HN)p was developmental time-dependent. The data are discussed in terms of multiple sites of interaction for guanine nucleotides and cations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Binding of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) to specific receptors on membranes isolated from GH4C1 pituitary cells was inhibited by monovalent cations and guanyl nucleotides. NaCl and LiCl inhibited TRH binding by 70%, with half-maximal inhibition at 30 mM; RbCl and KCl inhibited only 10% at concentrations up to 150 mM. NaCl decreased both the apparent number and the affinity of TRH receptors and increased the rate of dissociation of TRH from both membrane and Triton X-100-solubilized receptors. Guanyl nucleotides inhibited TRH binding up to 80%, with guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) approximately GTP much greater than GDP approximately ATP greater than GMP. GTP and Gpp(NH)p exerted half-maximal effects at 0.3 microM and decreased receptor affinity to one-third of control but did not change receptor number. Gpp(NH)p accelerated the dissociation of TRH from membranes but not from solubilized receptors. The effects of NaCl were independent of temperature, while GTP and Gpp(NH)p were much more inhibitory at 22 degrees C (70%) than at 0 degrees C (10%). Inhibition by NaCl could be reversed by washing the membranes, and inhibition by GTP was reversed if membranes were chilled to 0 degrees C. The inhibitory effects of low concentrations of NaCl and Gpp(NH)p were additive. Neither monovalent cations nor GTP prevented the TRH-receptor complex from undergoing transformation from a state with rapid dissociation kinetics to a slower dissociating form. The results suggest that sodium ion regulates TRH binding by interacting with a site on the receptor, while guanyl nucleotides regulate TRH binding indirectly.  相似文献
