The hypothalamic decapeptide, GnRH, stimulates LH and FSH release from pituitary gonadotrophs. Many synthetic peptide analogs, both agonist (GnRH-A) and antagonist (GnRH-AT), have been developed which bind specifically to the GnRH receptor. We have utilized highly potent GnRH-A and GnRH-AT analogs labeled with 18 nm colloidal gold to analyze ultrastructurally the events of binding and interiorization of these specific ligands by gonadotrophs in vitro. To examine internalization of GnRH-A-gold, gonadotrophs were cooled to 4 degrees C and equilibrated with the ligand for 1 h. Next, the cells were either fixed immediately or warmed to 37 degrees C for various times (5, 15 and 30 min) and prepared for electron microscopy. For GnRH-AT-gold, which binds slowly at 4 degrees C, the ligand was incubated with gonadotrophs at 37 degrees C for 15, 30 and 60 min, and the cells were processed for electron microscopy at each time point. In both cases, control gonadotrophs were also incubated in an excess of GnRH-A and GnRH-AT, respectively, in the presence of the gold-conjugated ligands. The results indicated that GnRH-A-gold was bound and rapidly internalized via a receptor-mediated endocytic pathway. GnRH-AT-gold was also bound but showed only limited entry into gonadotrophs; the percentage of intracellular GnRH-AT-gold in gonadotrophs was the same as in other pituitary cells contaminating the gonadotroph fraction and did not increase with time. In the gonadotroph, binding of the specific antagonist ligand to GnRH receptors does not stimulate its interiorization, in contrast to the rapid endocytosis and processing of the agonist ligand. These data suggest that specific ligand internalization requires prior receptor activation, and that GnRH-AT which does not activate the receptor remains bound at the cell surface for a prolonged period. 相似文献

Incubation of hepatocytes with [32P]orthophosphate resulted in the incorporation of 32P into material that is precipitated by reaction with antibodies to ATP citrate lyase. The amount of radioactivity precipitated was decreased when unlabeled, purified ATP citrate lyase was added to extracts of hepatocytes that had been incubated with [32P]orthophosphate. Addition of glucagon to hepatocytes that had been preincubated with [32P]orthophosphate resulted in a 56% increase in acid-stable 32P in the trichloroacetic acid-insoluble portion of immunoprecipitates. Catalytic phosphate bound to ATP citrate lyase reaction with ATP and Mg2+ is acid-labile; thus, glucagon-dependent phosphorylation is distinguished from the catalytic phosphate. When hepatocytes were incubated in the absence of [32P]orthophosphate and extracted in a medium containing [gamma-32P]ATP, no acid-stable 32P was present in immunoprecipitates. This indicates that the incorporation into ATP citrate lyase of acid-stable phosphate occurs prior to extraction of the enzyme. Preliminary studies, using a procedure that allows for measurement of enzyme activity starting 1 min after beginning the extraction of lyase from hepatocytes, have shown no difference in lyase activity when hepatocytes are treated with or without glucagon. 相似文献

Analysis of glucagon-receptor interactions on isolated canine hepatocytes. Formation of reversibly and irreversibly cell-associated hormone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have investigated the interactions of ligand with the canine hepatic glucagon receptor. Whereas time courses for radiolabeled glucagon binding to receptor and dissociation from receptor revealed fast and slow components at both 30 and 4 degrees C, time courses of ligand dissociation revealed a third component of irreversibly cell-associated (nondissociable) ligand only at the higher temperature. Related experiments identified that (a) the initial rate of formation of nondissociable ligand was slower than that of dissociably bound hormone; (b) the fraction of ligand bound to nondissociable sites achieved a plateau during extended incubations, whereas that bound to dissociable sites was seen to rise and then slowly to fall; (c) the kinetics of formation of a nondissociable ligand was consistent with linked, sequential reactions; (d) dissociable ligand-receptor complexes formed at 4 degrees C were converted to nondissociable complexes during subsequent incubation at 30 degrees C, and (e) nondissociable sites were filled by prior incubation of cells with unlabeled ligand. Analysis of receptor-bound hormone resulting from the incubation of cells with 125I-labeled glucagon and selected concentrations of either glucagon or [[127I]iodo-Tyr10]glucagon at steady state revealed in each case four components of receptor-bound ligand: those corresponding to high and low affinity components of dissociably bound ligand and to high and low affinity components of nondissociably bound ligand. Implications of these findings are considered in terms of mechanisms for the formation of irreversibly bound hormone and for the distribution of hormone among the various components of hepatic glucagon-binding sites. 相似文献

Kinetic identification of a two-state glucagon receptor system in isolated hepatocytes. Interconversion of homogeneous receptors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A detailed kinetic study was performed to investigate the interaction of glucagon with receptors on freshly isolated hepatocytes. Competition binding assay results fit a mathematical expression for a single site noncooperative model of binding. Glucagon was shown to bind with first-order kinetics at six-hormone concentrations (0.02-0.50 nM) at 0 and 37 degrees C. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants are directly proportional to the hormone concentration at 0 degree C, but display a downward deviation from linearity at 37 degrees C. Dissociation of glucagon exhibited biexponential character at 37 degrees C which was not seen at 0 degree C. The biphasic dissociation at 37 degrees C was resolved into rapid (t1/2 = 1.9 min) and slow (t1/2 = 27.7 min) components. The distribution of the total bound hormone between the rapidly and slowly dissociating complexes was not dependent upon the extent of receptor occupancy. The absolute quantity of rapidly dissociating hormone-receptor complexes was constant at all times examined; however, the fraction of slowly dissociating hormone-receptor complexes was found to increase with increasing incubation time. The results indicate that a homogeneous population of hepatic receptors undergoes a time-dependent, temperature-dependent conversion from one state to another in a two-stage sequential manner. 相似文献

1. The binding of 125I-labelled concanavalin A to isolated rat hepatocytes was studied at temperatures between 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C. At the latter temperature, concentrations of concanavalin A from 0.01 to 0.4 mg/ml were used. In all of these experiments, binding reached a plateau after 40--60 min, when 28--35% of the concanavalin A added was bound to the cells (cell density 8 x 10(6) cells/ml). 2. The rate of uptake of 125I-labelled asialo-fetuin by the hepatocytes was lowered to 30% of control values when the cells were preincubated with 0.1 mg of concanavalin A/ml. This decrease could be accounted for by a decrease in the rate of binding of asialo-fetuin to the beta-galactoside receptor of the cells. The binding capacity of the cells was not influenced by preincubation with concanavalin A. 3. Degradation of asialo-fetuin was decreased only if concanavalin A was present during the uptake of asialo-fetuin by the cells. Subcellular fractionation revealed that concanavalin A lowered the rate of entry of endocytosed asialo-fetuin into the lysosomes. The effect of concanavalin A on degradation is distinct from its effect on the rate of uptake of asialo-fetuin by hepatocytes. 相似文献

Succinyl-CoA has been determined in freeze-clamped rat liver tissue to amount to 9.5 ± 0.7 nmoles/g fresh wt. (n=11). Intravenous injection of glucagon lowers this level within 10 min to 4.5 nmoles/g fresh wt. (n=11; P < 0.0005). Isolated hepatocytes also show a significant decrease in their succinyl-CoA content when incubated with glucagon or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. This effect appears to be fully expressed already 1 min after exposure of isolated hepatocytes to glucagon. 相似文献

Summary The binding of125I-glucagon to the cell surface and the pathway of intracellular transport of this hormone by rat hepatocytes in vivo were studied by light and EM autoradiography. Radiolabeled glucagon injected into the blood stream was taken up predominantly by the hepatocytes. Negligible radioactivity was found to be associated with other cell types such as endothelial or Kupffer cells. Our results indicate that at early time points after injection glucagon has been preferentially interacting with the sinusoidal domain of the hepatocytes and found to be associated with coated pits and uncoated vesicles corresponding to endosomes. At 15–20 min time intervals glucagon grains were found within hepatocyte interior. Later, at 30 min after injection glucagon grains accumulate in the Golgi-lysosomal region of hepatocyte often in close proximity to the opening of the bile canaliculi. Accordingly a portion of internalized125I-glucagon was found to be released into the bile thereby indicating that a transcytotic pathway may be involved in this peptide's clearance process. 相似文献

Glucagon stimulates 14CO2 production from [1-14C] glycine by isolated rat hepatocytes. Maximal stimulation (70%) of decarboxylation of glycine by hepatocytes was achieved when the concentration of glucagon in the medium reached 10 nM; half-maximal stimulation occurred at a concentration of about 2 nM. A lag period of 10 min was observed before the stimulation could be measured. Inclusion of beta-hydroxybutyrate (10 mM) or acetoacetate (10 mM) did not affect the magnitude of stimulation suggesting that the effects of glucagon were independent of mitochondrial redox state. Glucagon did not affect either the concentration or specific activity of intracellular glycine, thus excluding the possibilities that altered concentration or specific activity of intracellular glycine contributes to the observed stimulation. The stimulation of decarboxylation of glycine by glucagon was further studied by monitoring 14CO2 production from [1-14C]glycine by mitochondria isolated from rats previously injected with glucagon. Glycine decarboxylation was significantly stimulated in the mitochondria isolated from the glucagon-injected rats. We suggest that glucagon is a major regulator of hepatic glycine metabolism through the glycine cleavage enzyme system and may be responsible for the increased hepatic glycine removal observed in animals fed high-protein diets. 相似文献

The synthesis of monofluorescein, monorhodamine, and mono-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) derivatives of glucagon is reported. The fluorescent groups were introduced by converting tryptophan-25 to 2-thioltryptophan using thiol-specific fluorescent reagents. All derivatives retained the ability to activate adenylate cyclase when compared to glucagon and thus were considered full agonists. IC50 values of 6.8.10(-9), 1.7.10(-8), 1.8.10(-8) and 5.4.10(-9) M were measured in rat liver membranes for NBD-, fluorescein-, rhodamine-Trp25-glucagon and native glucagon, respectively. From the IC50 values Kd values of 2.16.10(-9), 4.10(-9), 2.10(-9) and 1.72.10(-9) M were calculated for the binding of NBD-, fluorescein-, rhodamine-Trp25-glucagon and native glucagon, respectively. The highest quantum yield (0.18) of the monomer derivatives was obtained with fluorescein-Trp25-glucagon in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). Difluorescein-glucagon was also prepared by reacting the amino groups of histidine-1 and lysine-12 with fluorescein isothiocyanate and dimer derivatives were prepared using fluorescein-labelled 2-thiolTrp25-glucagon. Difluorescein-glucagon bound only weakly to glucagon receptors and displayed antagonist properties. The dimer derivative formed from two difluorescein-2-thiolTrp25-glucagon molecules had similar poor binding qualities, whereas the dimer formed from difluorescein-2-thiolTrp25-glucagon and 2-thiolTrp25-glucagon exhibited, at low concentrations, properties similar to monofluorescein-glucagon. Both dimer derivatives were only sparingly soluble in aqueous medium. Specific binding of fluorescein-Trp25-glucagon and difluorescein-glucagon to rat hepatocytes was followed using flow cytometry. 相似文献

Glucagon-(19-29) is 1000-fold more potent that glucagon as an inhibitor of the liver plasma membrane calcium pump, which suggests that this peptide fragment is naturally occurring. Since glucagon-(19-29) is undetectable in plasma, the processing of glucagon into its (19-29) fragment may occur upon interaction of glucagon with its target tissues. The use of a specific radioimmunoassay for glucagon-(19-29) in association with the separation and identification of peptides by high performance liquid chromatography revealed that, upon incubation at 37 degrees C with hepatic plasma membranes, glucagon is processed into its (19-29) C-terminal fragment. The identity of the fragment was confirmed by amino acid sequencing. The processing activity was inhibited by reagents of the thiol group and by 1,10-phenanthroline, suggesting that a thiol endopeptidase containing a catalytically active metal is involved in this processing. Following its production, glucagon-(19-29) was degraded with a half-life of less than 10 s. This degradation was inhibited by bacitracin and by the aminopeptidase inhibitors bestatin and amastatin. When glucagon was incubated with liver plasma membranes in the absence of inhibitors, the accumulation of glucagon-(19-29) reached a maximum at 2 min (1% of initial glucagon), followed by a slow decline. In the presence of bacitracin and bestatin, the amounts of glucagon-(19-29) obtained from glucagon increased continuously, 1 and 2% of glucagon being transformed after 10 and 30 min, respectively. The production of glucagon-(19-29) did not appear to be associated with the binding of glucagon to its receptors, since (i) guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate, a compound which decreases the glucagon-receptor interaction, could not decrease the conversion of glucagon into glucagon-(19-29); (ii) a glucagon analogue which displays a strongly decreased affinity for the hepatic glucagon receptors was processed similarly to glucagon. The conversion also occurs upon incubation with intact hepatoma cells in monolayer culture. These observations suggest that, under physiological conditions, glucagon is processed in liver by cleavage of the Arg17-Arg18 basic doublet, leading to the production of a fragment which is known to display an original biological specificity, namely the modulation of the hepatocyte plasma membrane calcium pump. 相似文献

Studies on the binding of a 32K rat epididymal protein to rat epididymal spermatozoa 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A glycoprotein of molecular weight 32K has been isolated and purified from the rat caudal epididymal fluid by gel filtration, ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. The highly purified protein was labeled with radioactive iodine and the binding of the 125I-labeled 32K rat epididymal protein (REP) to washed rat caudal epididymal sperm was studied under various conditions. Scatchard plots of the binding data revealed two binding kinetics. One bound with high affinity (KD = 2.6 X 10(-10) ) but low capacity. The other bound with lower affinity (KD = 2.2 X 10(-9)M) but high capacity. The rate of binding of the labeled protein to sperm was dependent on the temperature of the incubation medium. At the scrotal temperature of 33 degrees C, maximal binding was obtained after 40 min. However, at 22 degrees C equilibrium state was reached after 90 min and at 0 degrees C, the equilibrium rate was not reached even after 120 min of incubation. Binding showed dependence on extracellular pH (optimal pH at 4) and ionic strength of the incubation medium. High ionic strength was found to inhibit binding of the 125I-labeled 32K REP to rat caudal epididymal sperm. Specific binding was abolished by 100-fold molar excess unlabeled 32K REP or by native rat caudal epididymal fluid proteins, but not by albumin or ovalbumin. This indicates high specificity of binding. This study has provided direct evidence for the interaction of an epididymal protein with epididymal spermatozoa. 相似文献

Diacytosis of 125I-asialoorosomucoid by rat hepatocytes. A non-lysosomal pathway insensitive to inhibition by inhibitors of ligand degradation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Diacytosis of 125I-asialoorosomucoid by rat hepatocytes was studied by preincubating the cells with the labelled ligand at 37 degrees C for 30 min or 18 degrees C for 2 h, washing free of cell surface receptor-bound tracer at 4 degrees C and then reincubating at 37 degrees C. The cells preloaded at 37 degrees C released a maximum of 18% of the total intracellular ligand as undegraded molecules after 1 h of incubation with an apparent first-order rate constant of 0.018 min-1 (t1/2 = 39 min). When the preloaded cells were incubated in the presence of 100 micrograms/ml unlabelled asialoorosomucoid or 5 mM ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, the amount of the released ligand increased to 32 and 37%, respectively, without apparent change in kinetics, indicating that these agents prevented rebinding of the released ligand. In the presence of 5 microM colchicine, 20 microM cytochalasin B, 20 microM chloroquine, 10 mM NH4Cl, 10 microM monensin or 20 microM leupeptin, degradation of the preloaded ligand was inhibited, whereas the release of the ligand was either slightly increased or unchanged. Similar effects of leupeptin, colchicine and asialoorosomucoid were observed with cells preloaded at 18 degrees C. These results indicate that diacytosis of 125I-asialoorosomucoid occurs from a prelysosomal compartment via a route insensitive to inhibition by the inhibitors of ligand degradation. 相似文献

The association process of glucagon receptor binding in purified rat liver plasma membranes and prolonged incubation of the hormone-receptor complex at 30 degrees C did not result in degradation of bound labelled glucagon. In contrast, up to 95% of the non-membrane-bound labelled glucagon was degraded. The rate of spontaneous dissociation of the glucagon-receptor complex was slow, and amounted to about 0.1% per min of that bound. GTP greatly enhanced the rate of dissociation. Half the maximal dissociation of the complex was effected by 10(-5) mol/l of GTP under equilibrium binding conditions. At maximally effective concentrations of GTP, 80% of the glucagon-receptor complex was dissociated within 2 min. A microperifusion system for the perifusion of isolated plasma membranes was devised and used for the separation of labelled glucagon from the plasma membranes subsequent to a GTP-induced dissociation of the hormone-receptor complex. Rebinding of the dissociated peptide to fresh membranes showed that maximum binding ability was retained. The glucagon molecule was protected against degradation while bound to the receptor, indicating that the glucagon effector system is completely separate from the inactivating system(s) in isolated plasma membranes. Thus, the hormonal effect of glucagon could be exerted through the sequential interaction of each glucagon molecule with several receptors. 相似文献

There is morphological and biochemical evidence that insulin is internalized in hepatocytes. The present study was designed to investigate the fate of the insulin receptor itself, subsequently to the initial binding step of the hormone to the hepatocyte plasma membrane. The insulin receptor was labeled with a 125I-photoreactive insulin analogue (B2[2-nitro,4-azidophenylacetyl]des-PheB1-insulin). This photoprobe was covalently coupled to the receptor by UV irradiation of hepatocytes after an initial binding step of 2-4 h at 15 degrees C. At this temperature, only limited (approximately 20%) internalization of the ligand occurred. In a second step, hepatocytes were resuspended in insulin-free buffer and further incubated for 2-4 h at 37 degrees C. After h at 37 degrees C, no significant radioactivity could be detected in non-UV-irradiated cells, whereas 12-15 % of the radioactivity initially bound remained associated to UV-irradiated cells. Morphological analysis after electron microscopy revealed that approximately 70% of this radioactivity was internalized and preferentially associated with lysosomal structures. SDS PAGE analysis under reducing conditions revealed that most of the radioactivity was associated with a 130,000-dalton band, previously identified as the major subunit of the insulin receptor in a variety of tissues. Internalization of the labeled insulin-receptor complex at the end of the 37 degrees C incubation was further demonstrated by its inaccessibility to trypsin. Conversely, at the end of the association step, the receptor (also characterized as a predominant 130,000-dalton species) was localized on the cell surface since it was cleaved by trypsin. We conclude that in hepatocytes the insulin receptor is internalized with insulin. 相似文献

125I-human growth hormone (125I-hGH) binds specifically to receptors on cultures human lymphocytes (IM-9). When this process is studied by use of quantitative EM radioautography, under conditions of incubation at 15 degrees C for 5 min, the ligand is localized to the plasma membrane of the cell. At 30 degrees and 37 degrees C, however, 125I-hGH is progressively internalized by the cell as a function of time. The internalized ligand is found predominantly in the Golgi region of the cells, with a five-fold preferential localization to membrane-bounded structures with the morphological and cytochemical characteristics of lysosomes. Up to 59% of these lysosome-like structures are positive for the acid phosphatase reaction under the conditions of incubation at 37 degrees C for 120 min. When the cell associated radioactivity after 15- 120 min of incubation at 37 degrees C is extracted in 1 M acetic acid and filtered on a Sephadex G-100 column, 58-73% of the material elutes as intact hGH. When cells are incubated with 125I-hGH at 37 degrees C for 15-120 min, separated from the incubation medium, and washed and diluted 100-fold, the percent 125I-hGH dissociable decreases as a function of increasing time of incubation. When cells are incubated with 125I-hGH for 15 min at 37 degrees C and the radioactivity that dissociates from the cells during 15-90 min is studied, the labeled material appearing in the incubation medium is progressively degraded as a function of time of incubation. When the dissociation process is studied radioautographically, grains are found both in plasma membrane and intracelluar compartments after 30 min of association, but after 30 and 120 min of dissociation a higher proportion of grains are in the intracellular compartment. After 120 min of association, there is less dissociation from either compartment and a preferential increase of grains in the intracellular compartment. These data suggest that receptor-linked internalization of a polypeptide hormone provides a mechanism that couples degradation of the ligand with loss of the cell surface receptor. 相似文献

The binding and subsequent intracellular processing of transferrin and transferrin receptors was studied in A431 cells using 125I-transferrin and a monoclonal antibody to the receptor (ATR) labeled with 125I and gold colloid. Using 125I-transferrin we have shown that, whereas at 37 degrees C uptake proceeded linearly for up to 60 min, most of the ligand that was bound was internalized and then rapidly returned to the incubation medium undegraded. At 37 degrees C, the intracellular half- life of the most rapidly recycled transferrin was 7.5 min. 125I-ATR displayed the same kinetics of uptake but following its internalization at 37 degrees C, it was partially degraded. At 22 degrees C and below, the intracellular degradation of 125I-ATR was selectively inhibited and as a result it accumulated intracellularly. Electron microscopy of conventional thin sections and of whole-cell mounts was used to follow the uptake and processing of transferrin receptors labeled with ATR- gold colloid complexes. Using a pulse-chase protocol, the intracellular pathway followed by internalized ATR gold-receptor complexes was outlined in detail. Within 5 min at 22 degrees C the internalized complexes were transferred from coated pits on the cell surface to a system of narrow, branching cisternae within the peripheral cytoplasm. By 15 min they reached larger, more dilated elements that, in thin section, appeared as irregular profiles containing small (30-50-nm diam) vesicles. By 30 min, the gold complexes were located predominantly within typical spherical multivesicular bodies lying in the peripheral cytoplasm, and by 40-60 min, they reached a system of cisternal and multivesicular body elements in the juxtanuclear area. At 22 degrees C, no other compartments became labeled but if they were warmed to 37 degrees C the gold complexes were transferred to lysosome- like elements. Extracting ATR-gold complexes with Triton X after a 30- min chase at 22 degrees C and purifying them on Sepharose-transferrin indicated that the internalized complexes remained bound to the transferrin receptor during their intracellular processing. 相似文献

Biochemical methods have been used to quantitate total, acid-stable and acid-labile association of (mono[125I]iodoTyr10) glucagon with rat hepatocytes in suspension to evaluate internalization of glucagon and its receptors. Internalization is inhibited by low temperature, phenylarsine oxide, and by blocking receptor binding, consistent with receptor-mediated endocytosis. Approximately 30% of the total cell-associated hormone is internalized at 30 min of incubation. The rate declines until 90 min when the internalization of glucagon ceases, although the cells remain competent to internalize asialofetuin. From 90 min to 4 h, 27% of the maximum label internalized at 30 min remains within cells. The number of cell surface receptors decreases but the affinity of those remaining is unchanged. However, 1.7-2.7 surface receptors are lost to binding for each molecule of radiolabeled glucagon internalized. Uptake occurs according to a rate constant of 0.183 min-1 (t1/2 = 3.8 min). We conclude that (i) hepatocytes internalize a finite quantity of glucagon, implying the existence of undefined regulatory mechanisms; (ii) hormone is retained for greater than 2 h within cells and may play a physiological role within cells; and (iii) both occupied and unoccupied receptors become inaccessible to extracellular hormone as internalization proceeds; rapid recycling of receptors does not occur. 相似文献

Human and guinea-pig apo-E-free HDL were incubated with isolated guinea-pig hepatic membranes at 4 and 37 degrees C to determine the effects of temperature and heterologous systems on the equilibrium parameters of HDL binding. Receptor mediated HDL binding was highest at 37 degrees C for both lipoproteins. At 4 degrees C, a higher affinity constant (Kd) was observed when guinea-pig HDL was the ligand relative to human HDL; in contrast, both HDL preparations had similar Kd values at 37 degrees C. Calculated binding and receptor number (Bmax) were higher at both temperatures when guinea-pig HDL was the ligand. These results demonstrate a significant species difference in HDL binding to hepatic membrane which is partially temperature-dependent. 相似文献

The binding of [125I]gastrin releasing peptide ([125I]GRP) to Swiss 3T3 cells at 37 degrees C increases rapidly, reaching a maximum after 30 min and decreasing afterwards. The decrease in cell-associated radioactivity at this temperature is accompanied by extensive degradation of the labelled peptide. At 4 degrees C equilibrium binding is achieved after 6 h and [125I]GRP degradation is markedly inhibited. Extraction of surface-bound ligand at low pH demonstrates that the iodinated peptide is internalized within minutes after addition to 3T3 cells at 37 degrees C. The rate of internalization is strikingly temperature-dependent and is virtually abolished at 4 degrees C. In addition, lysomotropic agents including chloroquine increase the cell-associated radioactivity in cells incubated with [125I]GRP. The binding of [125I]GRP to Swiss 3T3 cells was not affected by pretreatment for up to 24 h with either GRP or bombesin at mitogenic concentrations. Furthermore, pretreatment with GRP did not reduce the affinity labelling of a Mr 75,000-85,000 surface protein recently identified as a putative receptor for bombesin-like peptides. These results demonstrate that while peptides of the bombesin family are rapidly internalized and degraded by Swiss 3T3 cells, the cell surface receptors for these molecules are not down-regulated. 相似文献

Rabbit hepatocytes were isolated by a collagenase perfusion technique, and used to study the binding and endocytosis of the glycoprotein, asialo-orosomucoid, and the neoglycoprotein, Gal39-bovine serum albumin. Both of these proteins contain exposed galactosyl residues, and were avidly bound by the lectin on the hepatic parenchymal cell surface. Steady state and kinetic experiments performed at 2 degrees C and at 37 degrees C revealed the presence of two apparent classes of binding sites totalling 4.7 X 10(5) sites/cell at 2 degrees C, and 6.3 X 10(5) sites/cell at 37 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, both classes of sites participated in internalization of bound ligand. The cells were capable of internalizing about 60 000 molecules/min per cell. The process appeared to be first-order, with a rate constant k = 0.098 min-1 and t1/2 = 7.1 +/- 0.6 min. Binding could be inhibited by galactose-containing compounds, EGTA, and by anti-(hepatic lectin) immunoglobulin G. The inhibition by antibody appeared to be reversible upon removal of antibody-containing medium. 相似文献
