A hybridoma cell line that produces a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to cell surface C1q receptor (C1qR) has been produced by fusion of the P3 X 63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cell line with the spleen cells of a CD-1 mouse that had been hyperimmunized with viable Raji cell suspensions (5 X 10(7) cells/inoculum). This MAb, designated II1/D1, is an IgM antibody with lambda-light chain specificity. Radiolabeled or unlabeled, highly purified II1/D1 was used to determine that: this antibody competes for C1q binding sites on C1qR-bearing cells; the molecule recognized by this MAb is the C1qR; and cells that are known to bind C1q also bind II1/D1 in a specific manner. Western blot analysis of solubilized Raji, or U937 cell membranes, showed that the 125I-MAb detected a major protein band of approximately 85,000 m.w. in its unreduced state, indicating that the C1qR is similar, if not identical, in both types of cells. Analyses of 125I-II1/D1 binding experiments revealed that the antibody bound to Raji cells or U937 cells in a specific manner. Uptake of the antibody was saturable, with equilibrium virtually attained within 35 min. Scatchard analysis of the binding data using the intact MAb suggests that the affinity constant KD is 2.9 X 10(-10) M, and at apparent saturation, 24.6 ng of the antibody were bound per 2 X 10(6) cells, giving an estimated 7.8 X 10(3) antibody molecules bound per cell. That the II1/D1 antibody is specifically directed to the C1q was further evidenced by an ELISA in which the ability of C1qR-bearing cells to bind the MAb was abrogated by c-C1q in a specific and dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that the II1/D1 is a specific antibody directed against the C1q and can be a useful tool in studying the biologic interaction of human C1q with its receptors on a variety of cells. 相似文献

The binding of soluble, multimeric ligands of the major cleavage fragment of complement component 3 (C3b) to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) has been examined. The oligomers bound entirely via complement C3 receptor type 1 (CR1). There was a single affinity of binding (0.65 nM) at 37 degrees C, while this high affinity binding accounted for only a minority of ligand bound at 0 degree C, with the rest showing a 50-100-fold lower affinity. Azide, fluoride, cytochalasin B, and colchicine had no effect on oligomer binding to PMN. Binding of oligomers had no effect on CR1 expression by PMN. C3b oligomers were not spontaneously internalized by PMN, but were internalized in response to phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu). Both CR1 initially present on the PMN plasma membrane and CR1 initially present in the internal pool of receptors were able to participate in PDBu-induced ligand internalization. C3b oligomers attached to the detergent-insoluble cell cytoskeleton during incubation at 37 degrees C, but cytochalasin B did not inhibit PDBu-induced ligand internalization. Internalized ligand was no longer associated with the detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton. These data demonstrate that 1) some CR1 diffusion is required for optimal oligomer binding; 2) high affinity ligand is not a signal for plasma membrane expression of the internal pool of CR1; 3) CR1 cross-linking is not a sufficient signal for endocytosis; and 4) functional CR1 association with the cytoskeleton which occurs at the plasma membrane is not required for ligand internalization. 相似文献

Amidation of C3 at the thiolester site: stimulation of chemiluminescence and phagocytosis by a new inflammatory mediator 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
D L Gordon R A Krueger P G Quie M K Hostetter 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,134(5):3339-3345
We studied the ability of particle-bound and fluid-phase C3b monomers and monomeric amidated C3 (prepared by treatment of purified human C3 with ammonium chloride or methylamine) to stimulate chemiluminescence of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and monocytes and to promote phagocytosis in the absence of antibody. Particle-bound C3b evoked chemiluminescence from both PMN and monocytes, and fluid-phase C3b (0.5 mg/ml) elicited significant chemiluminescence from PMN but not from monocytes. Amidated forms of C3, both particle bound and fluid phase, were potent stimulators of chemiluminescence from phagocytic cells and caused a significantly greater response than did C3b. The phagocytosis of 1-micron microspheres by PMN and monocytes was enhanced by coating them with purified C3b in an antibody-free system. Microspheres coated with amidated C3 were avidly phagocytized, and to a greater degree than were C3b-coated microspheres. In a direct binding assay with tritiated monomeric C3b and amidated C3, the affinity of the PMN complement receptor type 1 for C3b (Ka = 4.9 X 10(7) L/M) was similar to that for amidated C3 (Ka = 5.7 X 10(7) L/M). However, there was a fourfold increase in the number of apparent binding sites for amidated C3. This increase did not reflect binding of amidated C3 to the complement receptor type 3, because blocking of CR3 with the monoclonal antibody OKM 10 failed to decrease binding of amidated C3. In sites of increased ammoniagenesis, such as the kidney in chronic renal failure, amidated C3 may play a role as an inflammatory mediator by stimulating oxidative metabolism in phagocytic cells. 相似文献

An early event in phorbol ester-induced maturation of chronic lymphocytic leukemic (CLL) B cells is a membrane change characterized by the inactivation of a mouse erythrocyte receptor (MER). This event, the MER-switch, is quantified by inhibition of rosette formation. By using [3H]phorbol dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu), both to stimulate MER-switch and assay binding of PDBu to CLL cells, it was shown that MER-switch was an irreversible, time-dependent event which occurred some time after maximal binding of [3H]PDBu to cells. Two classes of binding sites, one of high affinity (Kd 1 to 2 nM) at low frequency (1.5 to 5 X 10(4) sites per cell), and a lower affinity site (Kd 33 to 50 nM) of higher frequency (2 to 3.5 X 10(5) sites per cell), were detected. Binding of [3H]PDBu was inhibited by phorbol ester analogs that stimulated MER-switch, but not by inactive analogs. This, and the similarity in shapes of the binding and rosette inhibition curves over a range of concentrations, suggests that stimulation of MER-switch by phorbol esters is due to this specific binding. The phorbol ester receptor and MER are distinct because MER-ve T cells and MER-ve atypical B cells from a patient with CLL had both classes of PDBu receptor. Solubilized MER did not bind [3H]PDBu. Time-course studies, and the irreversibility of the switch, despite removal of most of the bound [3H]PDBu, indicate that inhibition of rosetting is not due to competitive or steric hindrance by phorbol esters. Equivalent activities of soluble MER were released from fresh and phorbol ester-treated CLL cells, indicating a rearrangement of MER, rather than a loss. A supernatant of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human spleen cells also induced MER-switch in CLL lymphocytes, suggesting that a lymphokine may be a natural inducer of this event. 相似文献

[3H]Phorbol dibutyrate [( 3H]PDB) rapidly and reversibly binds to human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). Ca2+/diacylglycerol/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C appeared to be the receptor for this binding because: a diacylglycerol, dioctanoylglycerol, competed with [3H]PDB for PMN binding sites; a blocker of protein kinase C-phospholipid interactions, sphinganine, inhibited PMN binding of [3H]PDB; and changes in cytosolic Ca2+ apparently regulated PMN binding of the label. Relevant to the last point, disrupted PMN contained 9 X 10(5) phorbol diester receptors/cell, whereas intact PMN had only 1.6 X 10(5) such receptors that were accessed by the ligand. This number fell to 1.0 X 10(5) in Ca2(+)-depleted PMN and rose to 2.5 X 10(5) in cells stimulated with the Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin. This ionomycin effect lasted for greater than 16 min, correlated temporally with changes in cytosolic Ca2+, did not occur in Ca2(+)-depleted PMN, and was blocked by sphinganine. A second ionophore, A23187, likewise induced Ca2(+)-dependent rises in [3H]PDB binding. These results fit the standard model, wherein rises in cytosolic Ca2+ cause protein kinase C to translocate from cytosol to plasmalemma and thereby become more available to [3H]PDB. In contrast, two humoral agonists, N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) and leukotriene (LT)B4, had actions that did not fit this model. They stimulated PMN to increase the availability of PDB binding sites by a sphinganine-sensitive mechanism, but their actions differed from those of ionophores. They induced biphasic (t = 15 and 60 s) increases in [3H]PDB binding while eliciting monophasic (t = 15 s), short-lived (t less than 1 min) rises in cytosolic Ca2+. In Ca2(+)-depleted PMN, moreover, fMLP and LTB4 stimulated slow (t greater than or equal to 30 s), monophasic, prominent rises in [3H]PDB binding and binding site number without appreciably altering cytosolic Ca2+. We suggest, therefore, that fMLP and LTB4 translocate protein kinase C using two sequential mechanisms. The first involves Ca2+ transients and thus produces abrupt (t = 15 s), rapidly reversing responses. The second mechanism uses an unrelated signal to effect a more slowly evolving (t = 60 s) movement of protein kinase C to plasmalemma. Hence, the standard model does not explain all instances of protein kinase C translocation, and a cytosolic Ca2(+)-independent signal contributes to the regulation of protein kinase C as well as those responses elicited by the effector enzyme. 相似文献

Recent investigations discovered nonkinase-type phorbol ester receptors, RasGRPs, chimaerins, and Unc13s. Phorbol ester binding occurs at the cysteine-rich sequences of about 50 residues in the C1 domains of these receptors. Fifty-one-residue RasGRP C1 peptides except for RasGRP2 showed significant phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) binding, but the K(d) values of the RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 C1 peptides were about 10-fold larger than those for the corresponding whole enzymes. Addition of the C-terminal basic amino acid cluster decreased their K(d) values about 10-fold, suggesting that the positive charges of these C1 peptides play an important role in the PDBu binding in the presence of negatively-charged phosphatidylserine. The 51-mer chimaerin C1 peptides showed potent PDBu binding, while the Unc13 and Munc13-1 C1 peptides without sufficient positive charges hardly bound PDBu. By the rapid screening system using this C1 peptide library, 5-prenyl-indolactam-V was identified as a promising lead for the novel protein kinase C isozyme specific ligands. 相似文献

It has been shown previously that cultured human venous and arterial endothelial cells (EC) bind C1q in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Cultured human endothelial cells express an average number of 5.2 x 10(5) binding sites/cell. In the present study the putative receptor for C1q (C1qR) was isolated from the membranes of 1-5 x 10(9) human umbilical cord EC by affinity chromatography on C1q-Sepharose. During isolation, C1qR was detected by its capacity to inhibit the lysis of EAC1q in C1q-deficient serum. The eluate from C1q-Sepharose was concentrated, dialysed and subjected to QAE-A50 chromatography and subsequently to gel filtration on HPLC-TSK 3000. C1qR filtered at an apparent molecular weight of 60 kDa. Purified C1qR exhibited an apparent molecular weight of 55-62 kDa in the unreduced state and a molecular weight of 64-68 kDa in reduced form. Two IgM monoclonal antibodies (mAb) D3 and D5 were raised following immunization of mice with purified receptor preparations. Both monoclonal antibodies increased the binding of (125)I-C1q to endothelial cells but F(ab')(2) anti-C1qR mAb inhibited the binding of a(125)I-C1q to EC in a dosedependent manner. The D3 mAb recognized a band of 54-60 kDa in Western blots of membranes of human EC and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Previously, the authors showed that C1q induces the binding of IgM-containing immune complexes to EC. Therefore, it was hypothesized that during a primary immune response generation of IgM-IC may occur, resulting in binding and activation of C1, dissociation of activated C1 by C1 inhibitor and subsequent interaction of IgM-IC bearing C1q with EC-C1qR. 相似文献

Differential stimulation of the respiratory burst and lysosomal enzyme secretion in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes by synthetic diacylglycerols 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Binding of chemoattractants to receptors on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) stimulates the phosphodiesteric cleavage of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to produce inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerols. To investigate the possible second messenger function of diacylglycerols in PMN activation, we tested the ability of a series of synthetic sn 1,2-diacylglycerols, known to stimulate protein kinase C in other systems, to promote superoxide anion release, oxygen consumption, lysosomal enzyme secretion, and chemotaxis. None of the diacylglycerols initiated the chemotactic migration of PMN. Several of the diacylglycerols however, were, active in stimulating superoxide anion release and lysozyme secretion, with dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) being the most potent. Unexpectedly, didecanoylglycerol (diC10) induced lysosomal enzyme secretion, but failed to stimulate superoxide production or oxygen consumption. All other biologically active diacylglycerols tested displayed similar EC50 for stimulating lysozyme secretion and superoxide production. The ability of the diacylglycerols to compete for phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) binding in intact PMN suggested a mechanism for the divergent biological activity of diC10. Although the compounds that stimulated both superoxide production and lysosomal enzyme secretion competed for essentially all [3H]PDBu binding from its receptor, diC10, which only stimulated secretion, competed for 45% of the bound [3H]PDBu. Thus diacylglycerols can selectively activate certain functions of leukocyte chemoattractant receptor. The data suggest that a discrete pool of protein kinase C may mediate activation of the respiratory burst in PMN. 相似文献

The complement receptor type 1 (CR1) surface distribution, density and immune adherence efficiency were determined in circulating PMN activated by fMLP, NAP-1/IL-8, TNF, GM-CSF and C5a, or exudate PMN harvested from skin-blisters. These observations were compared with those observed on resting peri-pheral blood PMN. PMN activators known to upregulate CR1 expression did not induce a significant increase in CR1 clustering, or immune adherence efficiency towards opsonized immune complexes. By contrast, increase in CR1 density at the surface of exudated PMN was accompanied by an increased clustering. This clustering was however insufficient to increase the binding efficiency for immune complexes. Eventually, CR1 expression of exudated neutrophil could not be increased further by stimulation with fMLP or PMA. These results indicated that clustering of CR1 on PMN may occur in vivo. Such reaction might determine the phagocytic potential of the cell for opsonized micro-organisms or debris. This clustering could not be attributed to one of the PMN activators tested. 相似文献

The interaction of the purified C1q component of human C with synchronized, quiescent human gingival fibroblasts was investigated, and the presence of a specific binding site was demonstrated. Quantitative binding studies with radioiodinated C1q showed that binding was specific, saturable, and reversible upon addition of unlabeled C1q or by increasing the salt concentration. Scatchard plot analysis of the data yielded an affinity constant of 2 X 10(7) M-1 for all cell strains examined. The capacity for C1q binding varied among the eight cell strains examined. The number of binding sites per cell ranged from 2.6 to 17.7 X 10(6) with an average of 8.4 X 10(6). The receptor was insensitive to trypsin digestion, and it bound the collagen-like portion of the C1q molecule. Specific immunofluorescence staining showed that virtually all the viable cultured fibroblasts were able to bind added C1q. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a spectrum of fluorescence intensity among the cell strains, and there was a positive correlation between fluorescence intensity and the number of binding sites detected by using radiolabeled C1q. 相似文献

Protein kinase C contains two phorbol ester binding domains 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A series of deletion and truncation mutants of protein kinase C (PKC) were expressed in the baculovirus-insect cell expression system in order to elucidate the ability of various domains of the enzyme to bind phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu). A PKC truncation mutant consisting of only the catalytic domain of the enzyme did not bind [3H]PDBu, whereas a PKC truncation mutant consisting of the regulatory domain (containing the tandem cysteine-rich putative zinc finger regions) bound [3H]PDBu. Deletion of the second conserved region (C2) of PKC did not abolish [3H]PDBu binding, whereas a deletion of the first conserved region (C1) of PKC, containing the two cysteine-rich sequences, completely abolished [3H]PDBu binding. Additional truncation and deletion mutants helped to localize the region necessary for [3H]PDBu binding; all PKC mutants that contained either one of the cysteine-rich zinc finger-like regions possessed phorbol ester binding activity. Scatchard analyses of these mutants indicated that each bound [3H]PDBu with equivalent affinity (21-41 nM); approximately 10-20-fold less than the native enzyme. In addition, a peptide of 146 amino acid residues from the first cysteine-rich region, as well as a peptide of only 86 amino acids residues from the second cysteine-rich region, both bound [3H]PDBu with high affinity (31 +/- 4 and 59 +/- 13 nM, respectively). These data establish that PKC contains two phorbol ester binding domains which may function in its regulation. 相似文献

To characterize the binding properties of the Fc receptors on human macrophages, the binding of radiolabeled human IgG1 to peritoneal macrophages was assessed. Cells were obtained at the time of diagnostic laparoscopy from women undergoing evaluation of infertility. Macrophages bound on the average more IgG1 monomer than monocytes but the avidity with which both types of cells bound IgG1 monomer was comparable. By contrast, macrophages bound much more IgG1 dimers than monocytes. Scatchard plots of the binding of dimer to monocytes were linear, but plots of binding to macrophages were markedly curvilinear. This curvilinearity was not an artifact of extensive ligand internalization or catabolism by cells, since 80% of binding was reversible and there was very little catabolism of ligand in the medium. Assuming that the observed curvilinearity was due to the presence of two independent subpopulations of receptors, an objective estimate for the number of receptors per cell and of the avidity with which each subpopulation bound IgG1 dimer was obtained using a previously described computer program (Scatfit). The analysis of the binding of dimer to macrophages from six donors suggested the presence of 42,000 +/- 33,000 high avidity receptors per cell which bind IgG1 dimer with a mean Ka of 2.7 X 10(9) M-1 and 218,000 +/- 127,000 low avidity receptors which bind the same ligand with a Ka of 1.1 X 10(7) M-1. ADCC of IgG antibody-coated sheep red blood cells mediated by macrophages was less readily inhibited by soluble IgG1 monomer than ADCC mediated by peripheral blood monocytes. This provides further evidence for the presence of low avidity receptors which bind monomeric IgG1 poorly and also suggests that these sites are functionally active in triggering antibody-dependent immune clearance. 相似文献

The binding mode of a mammalian (boar) protamine to DNA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The binding modes of mammalian and fish protamines to DNA were studied by reconstitution experiments from dansylated protamines and DNA, using fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal denaturation and sedimentation. Both boar and fish protamines showed strong positive cooperativity in binding to DNA. Binding parameters of the protamines were determined in 0.1 M NaCl, 50 mM Tricine-HCl, pH 7.4, at 37 degrees C: in the boar protamine, the cooperative binding constant (Kc) = 3.4 X 10(6) M-1 and the cooperative factor (q) = 667, in the fish protamine, Kc = 1.8 X 10(7) M-1 and q = 304. The boar protamines bound to DNA with two functional domains, but the fish protamines bound directly to DNA as a single linear molecule. 相似文献

C3bi receptors (CR3) on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) bind ligand-coated particles and promote their ingestion. The binding activity of CR3 is not constitutive but is transiently enabled by phorbol esters (Wright, S. D., and B. D. Meyer, 1986, J. Immunol. 136:1759-1764). Our observations indicate that the capacity of CR3 to bind ligand is tightly correlated with the degree of ligand-independent aggregation of the receptor in the plane of the membrane. Fixed PMN were labeled with anti-CR3 monoclonal antibodies and streptavidin colloidal gold before viewing in the electron microscope either en face or in thin section. On unstimulated PMN, gold particles marking CR3 were dispersed randomly. Stimulation of PMN for 25 min with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) dramatically enhances binding of C3bi-coated particles, and the CR3 on such stimulated cells was observed in clusters containing more than six gold particles. CR3 was not aggregated over coated pits. After 50 min in PMA, the binding activity of CR3 falls, and the distribution of CR3 was again observed to be disperse. If a hydrophilic phorbol ester was washed away after a 20-min stimulation, binding activity remains elevated for at least 50 min, and CR3 remained aggregated. Thus, clustering of CR3 was temporally correlated with its ability to bind ligand and initiate phagocytosis. Unlike CR3, Fc receptors and HLA did not exhibit changes in their aggregation state in response to PMA. Treating PMN with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, which enhances expression of CR3 but not its function, did not lead to aggregation of CR3. These observations suggest that a clustered configuration is a precondition necessary for binding ligand and signaling phagocytosis. 相似文献

Binding of 125I-bovine and chicken insulin to cultured embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells was studied. Bovine and chicken insulin bound cultured cells with high affinities of 2.4 X 10(9)M-1 and 4.8 X 10(9)M-1 and low affinities of 2.4 X 10(7)M-1 and 3.7 X 10(7)M-1, respectively. Maximum insulin binding was achieved after 90 min of incubation at 20 degrees C and the maximum value was maintained for an additional 3 hr. Insulin binding increased in a linear manner with increasing nuclei number over a 5-fold range. Maximum insulin binding per nuclei decreased as cell fusion increased between 24 and 72 hr in culture, primarily due to a decrease in the number of low affinity insulin receptors. 相似文献

The heptoseless mutant of Escherichia coli, E. coli D31 m4, binds C1q and C1 at 0 degrees C and at low ionic strength (I0.07). Under these conditions, the maximum C1q binding averages 3.0 X 10(5) molecules per bacterium, with a Ka of 1.4 X 10(8) M-1. Binding involves the collagen-like region of C1q, as shown by the capacity of C1q pepsin-digest fragments to bind to E. coli D31 m4, and to compete with native C1q. Proenzyme and activated forms of C1 subcomponents C1r and C1s and their Ca2+-dependent association (C1r-C1s)2 do not bind to E. coli D31 m4. In contrast, the C1 complex binds very effectively, with an average fixation of 3.5 X 10(5) molecules per bacterium, and a Ka of 0.25 X 10(8) M-1, both comparable with the values obtained for C1q binding. C1 bound to E. coli D31 m4 undergoes rapid activation at 0 degrees C. The activation process is not affected by C1-inhibitor, and only slightly inhibited by p-nitrophenyl p'-guanidinobenzoate. No turnover of the (C1r-C1s)2 subunit is observed. Once activated, C1 is only partially dissociated by C1-inhibitor. Our observations are in favour of a strong association between C1 and the outer membrane of E. coli D31 m4, involving mainly the collagen-like moiety of C1. 相似文献

We recently described specific binding sites for C1q on human blood platelets. Structural similarities between the amino-terminal of C1q and collagen have suggested that receptors for both molecules on platelets might be the same. The present study thus compared the interaction of purified C1q receptors (C1qR) and whole platelets with collagen- and C1q-coated polystyrene surfaces. Surfaces coated with BSA or gelatin served as controls. Purified 125I-labeled C1qR recognized both C1q- and collagen-coated surfaces in a divalent, cation-independent manner. This adhesion was inhibited by polyclonal or monoclonal (II1/D1) anti-C1qR antibodies. Although C1qR adhered preferentially to C1q-coated surfaces, adhesion to bovine and human type I collagen, as well as to human type III and V collagen, was also noted. In parallel studies, 51Cr-labeled platelets bound equally well to collagen- or C1q-coated surfaces, albeit in a magnesium-dependent manner. Partial inhibition of platelet adhesion was observed in the presence of RGDS, despite the inability of RGDS to modify C1qR interaction with C1q or collagen. Moreover, anti C1qR antibodies selectively inhibited platelet adhesion to C1q-coated surfaces, whereas antibodies specific for the GPIa/IIa collagen receptor (6F1) preferentially inhibited platelet collagen interactions. These data support the presence of distinct platelet membrane C1qR, which may cross-react with collagen, and suggest that C1qR are necessary but not sufficient for platelet adhesion to C1q-coated surfaces. Additional divalent cation and/or RGD-sensitive binding sites may participate. 相似文献

Complement plays a pivotal role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. It has been shown that the binding of C1q, a natural ligand of gC1qR, on T cells inhibits their proliferation. Here, we demonstrate that direct binding of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core to gC1qR on T cells leads to impaired Lck/Akt activation and T-cell function. The HCV core associates with the surface of T cells specifically via gC1qR, as this binding is inhibited by the addition of either anti-gC1qR antibody or soluble gC1qR. The binding affinity constant of core protein for gC1qR, as determined by BIAcore analysis, is 3.8 x 10(-7) M. The specificity of the HCV core-gC1qR interaction is confirmed by reduced core binding on Molt-4 T cells treated with gC1qR-silencing small interfering RNA and enhanced core binding on GPC-16 guinea pig cells transfected with human gC1qR. Interestingly, gC1qR is expressed at higher levels on CD8(+) than on CD4(+) T cells, resulting in more severe core-induced suppression of the CD8(+)-T-cell population. Importantly, T-cell receptor-mediated activation of the Src kinases Lck and ZAP-70 but not Fyn and the phosphorylation of Akt are impaired by the HCV core, suggesting that it inhibits the very early events of T-cell activation. 相似文献

Properties of membrane-inserted protein kinase C 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Protein kinase C (PKC) interacted with phospholipid vesicles in a calcium-dependent manner and produced two forms of membrane-associated PKC: a reversibly bound form and a membrane-inserted form. The two forms of PKC were isolated and compared with respect to enzyme stability, cofactor requirements, and phorbol ester binding ability. Membrane-inserted PKC was stable for several weeks in the presence of calcium chelators and could be rechromatographed on gel filtration columns in the presence of EGTA without dissociation of the enzyme from the membrane. The activity of membrane-inserted PKC was not significantly influenced by Ca2+, phospholipids, and/or PDBu. Partial dissociation of this PKC from phospholipid was achieved with Triton X-100, followed by dialysis to remove the detergent. The resulting free PKC appeared indistinguishable from original free PKC with respect to its cofactor requirements for activation (Ca2+, phospholipid, and phorbol esters), molecular weight, and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) binding. The binding of PDBu to free and membrane-inserted PKC was measured under equilibrium conditions using gel filtration techniques. At 2.0 nM PDBu, free PKC bound PDBu with nearly 1:1 stoichiometry in the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipid. No PDBu binding to the free enzyme was observed in the absence of Ca2+. In contrast, membrane-inserted PKC bound PDBu in the presence or the absence of Ca2+; calcium did enhance the affinity of this interaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in urea was used to prepare the four molecular species of transferrin:diferric transferrin, apotransferrin and the two monoferric transferrins with either the C-terminal or the N-terminal metal-binding site occupied. The interaction of these 125I-labelled proteins with rabbit reticulocytes was investigated. At 4 degrees C the average value for the association constant for the binding of transferrin to reticulocytes was found to increase with increasing iron content of the protein. The association constant for apotransferrin binding was 4.6 X 10(6)M-1, for monoferric (C-terminal iron) 2.5 X 10(7)M-1, for monoferric (N-terminal iron) 2.8 X 10(7)M-1 and for diferric transferrin, 1.1 X 10(8)M-1. These differences in the association constants did not affect the processing of the transferrin species by the cells at 37 degrees C. Accessibility of the proteins to extracellular proteinase indicated that the transferrin was internalized by the cells regardless of the iron content of the protein, since in each case 70% was inaccessible. Cycling of the cellular receptors may also occur in the absence of bound transferrin. 相似文献
