Opioid receptors solubilized in Mg2+-digitonin (2%, wt/vol) from Mg2+-pretreated rat brain membranes maintain, in addition to high-affinity opioid agonist binding, the modulation by guanine nucleotides. One of the modes of expression of the latter property is an attenuation of agonist binding by guanine nucleotides in the presence of Na+. To investigate the molecular basis of this modulation and to identify the G protein(s) involved, the soluble receptors were [32P]ADP-ribosylated by means of Bordetella pertussis toxin and subjected to molecular size exclusion chromatography. In addition, soluble extracts were chromatographed on lectin and hydrophobic affinity columns. The binding of 35S- and 3H-labelled analogues of GTP was also monitored in the species separated. The oligomeric G protein-coupled opioid receptors and the guanine nucleotide/pertussis toxin-sensitive species showed similar chromatographic properties in all three systems. This indicates that the biochemically functional G protein-opioid receptor complex formed in Mg2+-pretreated membranes in the absence of an agonist is stable in digitonin solution and to chromatographic separation. Further analysis showed that the guanine nucleotide modulation of opioid receptors is via the pertussis toxin substrates with Mr of 41,000 and 39,000, which are identified as Gi and Go alpha subunits, respectively. 相似文献

Opiates and opioid peptides inhibit adenylate cyclase and stimulate specific low Km GTPase activity in membranes from neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells. The effects of opiate agonists on both enzymes are mediated by high affinity stereospecific receptors and require Mg2+, GTP, and Na+. In the presence of Mg2+, Na+ inhibits basal GTPase activity; opiates stimulate GTP hydrolysis by antagonizing the Na+-induced inhibition. Activation of GTPase leads, in turn, to inactivation of GTP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The intrinsic activities (or efficacies) of a series of opiates are identical for stimulation of GTPase and inhibition of adenylate cyclase. These results provide a mechanism for the dual requirement for Na+ and GTP in the inhibitory coupling of opiate receptors to the adenylate cyclase system in these cells and may be of general significance to the action of other inhibitory hormones. 相似文献

Guanine nucleotides and Mg2+ differentially regulate agonist binding to adenosine (Ri) receptors in fat-cell plasma membranes. GTP alone decreases binding of the agonist ligand [3H]N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) by increasing the dissociation constant (Kd). Mg2+ alone also decreases [3H]CHA binding, which is associated with a decrease in the number of receptors and in the dissociation constant. In the presence of Mg2+, the effect of GTP is to increase [3H]CHA binding by increasing the total number of receptors. It thus appears that Mg2+ acts specifically at a bivalent-cation site which, with GTP, regulates agonist binding. This putative Mg site is highly sensitive to alkylating agents. Mild treatment with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) abolishes the characteristic GTP effect on agonist binding in the presence of Mg2+. In addition, the effect of Mg2+ alone is also eliminated. The effect of GTP alone is largely unaltered. Studies of the adenylate cyclase activity indicate that this NEM treatment also abolishes the inhibition of basal activity by adenosine analogues, whereas guanylyl imidodiphosphate inhibition of forskolin-stimulated activity is only slightly impaired at this NEM concentration. These observations indicate that a Mg2+ 'site' or 'component' is required for the integration of receptor (Ri) occupancy with regulation of catalytic activity (C). The regulatory role of Mg2+ is more demonstrable in receptor-GTP-regulatory-protein (Ri-Ni) interactions than in GTP-regulatory-protein-catalytic-unit (Ni-C) interactions. 相似文献

The role of Mg2+ in the GTP hydrolytic cycle was investigated by using purified subunits (G alpha and G beta, gamma) of the GTP-binding protein isolated from Bufo marinus rod outer segments (ROS). Mg2+ markedly stimulated the rate of GTP and guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma-s) binding to G alpha. This effect was especially striking in the presence of very small quantities of illuminated ROS disc membranes. GTP hydrolysis could occur in the absence of Mg2+, and Mg2+ increased the rate of GTP hydrolysis only about 50%. These data indicate that Mg2+ plays a fundamental role in amplification of the photon signal by markedly stimulating the rate of formation of GTP X G alpha complexes by very small amounts of illuminated rhodopsin while producing only a modest increase in the rate of GTP hydrolysis. Following hydrolysis of GTP, GDP X G alpha could reassociate with illuminated or unilluminated ROS disc membranes in the presence or absence of Mg2+. In the absence of guanine nucleotides, release of GDP from G alpha bound to illuminated disc membranes was detected in the presence or absence of Mg2+. Moreover, Mg2+ did not affect the rate of GDP release from membrane-bound G alpha. Illumination of B. marinus crude ROS disc membrane preparations markedly reduced pertussis toxin-mediated ADP-ribosylation of a 39,000 Mr (G alpha) protein in the presence but not in the absence, of Mg2+. Moreover, extensive dialysis of illuminated (but not unilluminated) crude ROS disc membranes against a Mg2+-containing buffer caused a marked reduction in the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of G alpha, even when Mg2+ was not present during the ADP-ribosylation step. This reduction was reversed by the addition of GDP or a GDP analogue (but not GMP or hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogues) during the ADP-ribosylation step. Dialysis of crude ROS disc membrane preparations (illuminated or unilluminated) against a Mg2+ -free buffer did not reduce the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of G alpha. These data indicate that Mg2+, in the presence of photolysed rhodopsin, can stimulate the release of GDP from crude preparations of ROS disc membranes. Four lines of evidence suggest that G alpha and G beta, gamma have Mg2+-binding site(s). When stored at 4 degrees C, in the absence of glycerol, G beta, gamma was more stable in the absence than in the presence of Mg2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Sodium modulates opioid receptors through a membrane component different from G-proteins. Demonstration by target size analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The target size for opioid receptor binding was studied after manipulations known to affect the interactions between receptor and GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins). Addition of GTP or its analogs to the binding reaction, exposure of intact cells to pertussis toxin prior to irradiation, or treatment of irradiated membranes with N-ethylmaleimide did not change the target size (approximately equal to 100 kDa) for opioid receptors in NG 108-15 cells and rat brain. These data suggest that the 100-kDa species does not include an active subunit of a G-protein or alternatively that GTP does not promote the dissociation of the receptor-G-protein complex. The presence of Na+ (100 mM) in the radioligand binding assay induced a biphasic decay curve for agonist binding and a flattening of the monoexponential decay curve for a partial agonist. In both cases the effect was explained by an irradiation-induced loss of the low affinity state of the opioid receptor produced by the addition of Na+. This suggests that an allosteric inhibitor that mediates the effect of sodium on the receptor is destroyed at low doses of irradiation, leaving receptors which are no longer regulated by sodium. The effect of Na+ on target size was slightly increased by the simultaneous addition of GTP but was not altered by pertussis toxin treatment. Thus, the sodium unit is distinct from G-proteins and may represent a new component of the opioid receptor complex. Assuming a simple bimolecular model of one Na+ unit/receptor, the size of this inhibitor can be measured as 168 kDa. 相似文献

The effects of Mg2+ or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on 125I-glucagon binding to rat liver plasma membranes have been characterized. In the absence of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP), maximal binding of 125I-glucagon occurs in the absence of added Mg2+. Addition of EDTA or Mg2+ diminishes binding in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of GTP, maximal binding occurs in the presence of 2.5 mM Mg2+ (EC50 = 0.3 mM) while EDTA or higher concentrations of Mg2+ diminish binding. Response to exogenous Mg2+ or EDTA depends on the concentration of Mg2+ in the membranes and may vary with the method used for membrane isolation. Solubilized 125I-glucagon-receptor complexes fractionate on gel filtration columns as high molecular weight, GTP-sensitive complexes in which receptors are coupled to regulatory proteins and lower molecular weight, GTP-insensitive complexes in which receptors are not coupled to other components of the adenylyl cyclase system. In the absence of GTP, 40 mM Mg2+ or 5 mM EDTA diminishes receptor affinity for hormone (from KD = 1.2 +/- 0.1 nM to KD = 2.6 +/- 0.3 nM) and the fraction of 125I-glucagon in high molecular weight receptor-Ns complexes without affecting site number (Bmax = 1.8 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg of protein). Thus, while GTP promotes disaggregation of receptor-Ns complexes, Mg2+ or EDTA diminishes the affinity with which these species bind hormone. In the presence of GTP, hormone binds to lower affinity (KD = 9.0 +/- 3.0 nM), low molecular weight receptors uncoupled from Ns.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the effect of DIDS on Na+ regulation of alpha 2-adrenoreceptors in human platelets. Pretreatment of platelet membranes at 23 degrees C for 60 min with DIDS produced a reduction in the affinity of the receptors for both antagonist and agonist in a concentration related manner; however, there was a marked difference in the degree of reduction in the affinity of the receptors for antagonist and agonist. Thus, at 1 mM concentration of DIDS, the affinity of the receptors for antagonist was reduced by 2-fold while the affinity of the receptors for agonist was reduced by 14-fold. Furthermore, this concentration of DIDS abolished the ability of Na+ in reducing the affinity of the receptors for agonist. We suggest that the effect of DIDS is via Na+ binding component of the alpha 2-adrenoreceptor-adenylate cyclase complex. 相似文献

Addition of lithium ion to the inhibitory GTP-binding (Gi) protein resulted in a decrease of its ADP-ribosylation by islet-activating protein (pertussis toxin, IAP). The possibility that this decrease was due to dissociation of the Gi protein trimer was examined. Results showed that lithium ions had no appreciable effect on either the Gi protein trimer or its dissociation into its three subunits induced by Mg2+ and GTP gamma S. Next, the effect of lithium ions on Gi protein-mediated adenylate cyclase inhibition and alpha 2-adrenoceptor in human platelet membranes was examined. Lithium ion was found to impair adenylate cyclase inhibition of alpha 2-adrenoceptor stimulation of forskolin-stimulated enzyme activities. The monovalent ion also abolished guanine nucleotide modulation (GTP shift) of agonist binding, while it had no remarkable effects on antagonist binding in alpha 2-adrenoceptor of human platelet membranes. These results suggested that lithium ion caused functional change of the Gi protein without remarkable change of its dissociation, causing modulation in a coupling between alpha 2-adrenoceptor and Gi protein. 相似文献

The hepatic angiotensin II receptor. II. Effect of guanine nucleotides and interaction with cyclic AMP production 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Guanine nucleotides were observed to modify the binding of 125I-angiotensin II to rat hepatic plasma membrane receptors. GTP and its nonhydrolyzable analogues greatly increased the dissociation rate of bound 125I-angiotensin II and altered hormone binding to the receptor under equilibrium conditions. In the absence of GTP, 125I-angiotensin II labeled both high affinity sites (Kd1 = 0.46 nM, N1 = 650 fmol/mg) and low affinity sites (Kd2 = 4.1 nM, N2 = 1740 fmol/mg). In the presence of guanine nucleotides, the affinities of the two sites were unchanged, but the number of high affinity sites decreased markedly to 52 fmol/mg. In analogous experiments using the angiotensin II antagonist, 125I-sarcosine1,Ala8-angiotensin II (125I-saralasin), guanine nucleotides minimally affected the interaction of 125I-saralasin with its receptor, increasing the dissociation rate 1.9-fold and the Kd 1.4-fold. The guanine nucleotide inhibition of agonist binding required a cation such as Na+ or Mg2+, with a maximal effect occurring at about 1 mM Mg2+. In liver plasma membranes prepared in EDTA, angiotensin II inhibited basal and glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities by 30% and 10%, respectively. Angiotensin II also caused a 40% inhibition of glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in intact hepatocytes, with a half-maximal effect occurring at 1 nM. The inhibition by angiotensin II of adenylate cyclase in membranes and of cAMP levels in intact cells could be reversed by the antagonist sarcosine1,Ile8-angiotensin II. Vasopressin caused a smaller 26% inhibition of glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. The ability of angiotensin II to inhibit cyclic AMP synthesis may provide an explanation for the observed effects of guanine nucleotides on 125I-angiotensin II binding to plasma membranes. 相似文献

An iodoazido[125I]prazosin analogue was employed to photoaffinity label alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in rat liver plasma membranes. Labeled proteins were separated by gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and (-)-epinephrine displacement of [3H]prazosin binding was concurrently measured in the presence or absence of guanosine 5'-O-(gamma-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[gamma S]). Inclusion of EGTA and/or proteinase inhibitors during membrane preparation and incubation increased the effect of GTP[gamma S] on alpha 1-adrenergic agonist binding and this could be correlated with increased concentrations of a 78 kDa photoaffinity labeled protein. In contrast, omission of EGTA or addition of exogenous Ca2+ diminished or abolished the effect of GTP[gamma S] on binding and caused loss of the 78 kDa form and the appearance of lower molecular weight labeled proteins. Age-dependent differences in GTP[gamma S] effects on alpha 1-adrenergic agonist binding were abolished when membranes were prepared and incubated in the presence of EGTA and proteinase inhibitors. However, the 78 kDa photoaffinity labeled protein observed in adult rats (over 225 g body weight) was not apparent in membranes from younger rats (50-75 g), even when the membranes were prepared and incubated in the presence of EGTA and proteinase inhibitors. Instead, a 68 kDa species was the major labeled protein. These data suggest that GTP effects on alpha 1-adrenergic agonist binding in rat liver membranes require the presence of either a 68 or 78 kDa alpha 1-adrenergic binding protein. Failure to inhibit proteolysis in the membranes leads to the generation of lower-molecular-weight binding proteins and the loss of GTP effects on alpha 1-adrenergic agonist binding, although [3H]prazosin binding characteristics are not changed. It is suggested that either the proteolyzed forms of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor are unable to couple to a putative guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein, or that such a protein is concurrently proteolyzed and is thus unable to couple to the receptor. 相似文献

Net hepatic Ca2+ efflux, K+ uptake and glycogen breakdown in response to the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine were studied. Rat livers were perfused with CO2/bicarbonate-buffered solutions containing 10 microM Ca2+ and different amounts of Mg2+. K+-free medium and/or ouabain were used to block (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-dependent K+ uptake. In some experiments a sharp increase in extracellular Ca2+ concentrations was produced by infusing CaCl2 into the medium entering the liver. Perfusion with K+-free medium and ouabain enhanced the phenylephrine-induced Ca2+ efflux and diminished the glycogenolytic response, indicating a dissociation of Ca2+ release and glycogenolysis. Exogenous Ca2+ had practically no effect if livers were perfused with regular medium containing 1.2 mM Mg2+. In the presence of phenylephrine and if extracellular Mg2+ concentrations were lowered by omitting Mg2+ from the medium or by preperfusion with EGTA, exogenous Ca2+ was glycogenolytically effective and also produced a transient K+ uptake. Increased extracellular concentrations of Mg2+ inhibited the effects of exogenous Ca2+. In the presence of phenylephrine, higher concentrations of Mg2+ were needed than in the absence of alpha 1-adrenergic agonist to achieve a similar degree of inhibition. In one respect ouabain effects were comparable to those of phenylephrine: the glycoside also increased the metabolic response to exogenous Ca2+ and diminished the sensitivity towards Mg2+. Phenylephrine and ouabain may both enhance the permeability of plasma membranes for Ca2+. 相似文献

Mg2+ interacts with the alpha subunits of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) in the presence of guanosine-5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP-gamma S) to form a highly fluorescent complex from which nucleotide dissociates very slowly. The apparent Kd for interaction of G alpha X GTP gamma S with Mg2+ is approximately 5 nM, similar to the Km for G protein GTPase activity X G beta gamma increases the rate of dissociation of GTP gamma S from G alpha X GTP gamma S or G alpha X GTP gamma S X Mg2+ at low concentrations of Mg2+. When the concentration of Mg2+ exceeds 1 mM, G beta gamma dissociates from G beta gamma X G alpha X GTP gamma S X Mg2+. Compared with the dramatic effect of Mg2+ on binding of GTP gamma S to G alpha, the metal has relatively little effect on the binding of GDP. However, G beta gamma increases the affinity of G alpha for GDP by more than 100-fold. High concentrations of Mg2+ promote the dissociation of GDP from G beta gamma X G alpha X GDP, apparently without causing subunit dissociation. The steady-state rate of GTP hydrolysis is strictly correlated with the rate of dissociation of GDP from G alpha under all conditions examined. Thus, there are at least two sites for interaction of Mg2+ with G protein-nucleotide complexes. Furthermore, binding of G beta gamma and GTP gamma S to G alpha is negatively cooperative, while the binding interaction between G beta gamma and GDP is strongly positive. 相似文献

The effects of guanine nucleotides on the hepatic alpha 1-adrenergic receptor were studied using norepinephrine (NE) displacement of [3H]prazosin binding to rat liver plasma membranes. Nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues caused large rightward shifts of norepinephrine displacement curves of [3H]prazosin binding in EGTA-treated membranes, but only small shifts in membranes prepared with Ca2+. The effect of a brief Ca2+ exposure on NE displacement curves was not reversed by adding excess EGTA prior to binding experiments. Analysis of the curves showed that the EGTA membranes had an increased number of high affinity agonist sites (Kd, 42 nM) and that guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GppNHp) converted these to low affinity sites (Kd, 1039 nM). When binding was carried out at 2 degrees C, the norepinephrine displacement curves were shifted to the left, and GppNHp was without effect. Neither EGTA, Ca2+, nor 2 degrees C treatment altered [3H]prazosin binding per se. Attempts were made to differentiate the potency order of GTP analogues which alter glucagon receptor binding (presumably mediated by the stimulatory GTP-binding protein, Na, of the adenylate cyclase system) from the potency order of GTP analogues which alter alpha 1-receptor agonist binding (presumably mediated by a yet uncharacterized GTP-binding protein which some have speculated may be distinct from Ns). However, the potency series of GTP analogues to alter norepinephrine binding was GTP gamma S greater than GppNHp greater than or equal to GTP greater than or equal to GDP greater than or equal to GppCHp greater than GMP (where GTP gamma S represents guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) and GppCHp represents guanyl-5'-yl (beta, gamma-methylene)diphosphonate) and was identical to that for inhibition of [125I]iodoglucagon binding. The ability of GppNHp to alter norepinephrine displacement of [3H]prazosin binding increased with the age of the rat from which membranes were prepared. This was due to the fact that juvenile rats (50-75 g) had few alpha 1-receptors in the high affinity state, whereas in old rats (430-490 g) more of the receptors were in this form. Age has previously been shown to increase alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of cAMP in isolated hepatocytes (Morgan, N.G., Blackmore, P. F., and Exton, J. H. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 5103-5109) but did not affect the dose-response curves for norepinephrine-induced Ca2+ mobilization and phosphorylase activation in these cells. These data suggest that alpha 1-adrenergic receptors can become coupled to a guanine nucleotide-responsive moiety in hepatic plasma membranes and that this may be similar to Ns.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Effects of monovalent and divalent cations and of guanine nucleotides on binding of vasopressin to the rat mesenteric vasculature 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The rat mesenteric vasculature contains high affinity binding sites specific for [3H]Arg8-vasopressin which mediate its vasoconstrictor action. We have investigated the in vitro effect of monovalent and divalent cations and guanine nucleotides on the interactions between [3H]Arg8-vasopressin and its receptor in this preparation. Binding was increased by divalent cations from fourfold in the presence of Mg2+ at 5 mM to ninefold in the presence of Mn2+ at 5 mM. The potency order of divalent cations to increase binding was Mn2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Ni2+ greater than Mg2+ greater than Ca2+ approximately equal to control without cations. Addition of Na2+ or other monovalent cations (K+, Li+, and NH4+) in the presence or absence of divalent cations reduced binding significantly. Analysis of saturation binding curves showed a single high affinity site. In the presence of 5 mM Mn2+, binding capacity (Bmax) increased to 139 +/- 23 fmol/mg protein. Receptor affinity was enhanced (KD decreased to 0.33 +/- 0.07 nM). In presence of 5 mM Mg2+ or 150 mM Na+, Bmax and affinity were reduced. The addition of 100 microM GTP or its nonhydrolyzable analogue, Gpp(NH)p, reduced receptor affinity in the presence of Mn2+ + Na+, Mg2+, and Mg2+ + Na+, but not in the presence of Mn2+ alone. Computer modeling of competition binding curves demonstrated that in contrast with saturation studies, the data were best explained by a two-site model with high affinity, low capacity sites and low affinity, high capacity sites. Mn2+ or Mn2+ + Na+ with or without guanine nucleotides resulted in a predominance of high affinity sites. GTP or Gpp(NH)p in the presence of Mg2+ or Mg2+ + Na+ induced a reduction of affinity of the high affinity binding sites and the number of these sites. In the presence of Mg2+ + Na+ and guanine nucleotides, high affinity sites were maximally decreased. An association kinetic study indicated that the association rate constant (K+1) was increased by divalent cations and reduced by guanine nucleotides, without change in the dissociation rate constant (K-1). The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) calculated with these rate constants (K-1/K+1) was similar to that obtained in saturation experiments at steady state. Dissociation kinetics were biphasic, indicating the presence of two receptor states, one of high and one of low affinity, associated with a slow and a rapid dissociation rate. Cations and guanine nucleotides interact with one or more sites closely associated with vasopressin receptors, including possibly with a GTP-sensitive regulatory protein, to modulate receptor affinity for vasopressin. 相似文献

The effects of Mg2+ and guanine nucleotides on glucagon binding to its receptor were studied using [125I-Tyr10]monoiodoglucagon. Contrary to findings with beta-adrenergic receptors, high affinity binding of the stimulatory hormone was not dependent on Mg2+ and low affinity binding could be obtained on nucleotide addition regardless of presence of Mg2+. GDP, guanyl-5'-yl thiophosphate (GDP beta S), GTP, and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GMP-P(NH)P) were all able to induce low affinity hormone binding. Since the Ns component of adenylyl cyclase, with which the receptor interacts, is inactive in stimulating the catalytic component C of adenylyl cyclase in the absence of Mg2+, both before and after GDP addition, it is suggested that Ns has at least two domains that change conformation independently of each other: a r domain, that interacts with the receptor and confers to it high affinity binding, and a c domain, that interacts with the catalyst C and stimulates it. It is suggested further that Ns is r+c- when stabilizing the receptor in its conformation with high affinity for hormone, and r-c- when under the influence of GDP which results in the receptor adopting the conformation that exhibits low affinity for the hormone. Comparison of potencies of the four nucleotides to induce low affinity binding showed that GDP and GDP beta S were equipotent and 10 times more potent than GTP and 100 times more potent than GMP-P(NH)P. Under the conditions used it was impossible to substantiate that the effects of GTP or GMP-P(NH)P were not due to formation of GDP from GTP or presence of GDP-like material in GMP-P(NH)P. It is suggested that, contrary to widely held opinions, GDP and GDP-like compounds, and not GTP or its analogs, are responsible for the lowering of the affinity of adenylyl cyclase stimulating receptors for their hormones or agonists. Furthermore, the experiments suggest that the c+ conformation of the c domain of Ns co-exists with the r+ and not the r- conformation of its r domain. 相似文献

Variations in susceptibility to proteolysis by trypsin and chymotrypsin have been used as indicators of conformational changes taking place in N-ras p21 in response to ligand binding. It has been observed that changes occur in undenatured protein, rendering it more resistant to degradation, in the presence of divalent cations such as Mg2+ and Ca2+ (suggesting direct binding of metals to the polypeptide) and even more markedly in the presence of GDP and/or Mg2+ GDP. Monovalent cations (Na+ or K+) cannot substitute for Mg2+ or Ca2+. Some capacity to bind guanine nucleotide is also retained by p21 treated with 7 M urea, as evidenced by increased resistance to proteolytic degradation, but the ability to bind divalent cations is irreversibly lost following denaturation. Protein prepared under denaturing conditions from a eukaryotic source, however, never regains the resistance to proteolysis shown by the bacterial p21 indicating irreversible changes in secondary and tertiary structure produced under these conditions. 相似文献

Receptors for the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine) are present in membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL-60) cells and stimulate phospholipase C via a pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G-protein(s)]. We have developed methods for the assessment of formyl-peptide-receptor-stimulated binding of radiolabeled guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate ([35S]GTP[S]) to native HL-60 membranes. Agonist stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] association with the membrane was minimal (less than or equal to 20%) when GTP[S] was the sole nucleotide present in the incubation medium. In contrast, receptor activation led to a marked (up to sixfold) stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] binding when GDP or GTP were present in high (greater than 100-fold) excess of [35S]GTP[S]. The increase in [35S]GTP[S] binding caused by the chemotactic agonist was strictly dependent on the presence of Mg2+ and was significantly increased by Na+. Agonist-independent binding of [35S]GTP[S] and the increase due to the chemotactic agonist were markedly attenuated by both pertussis and cholera toxin. Comparison of the number of chemotactic-peptide-sensitive [35S]GTP[S]-binding sites to the number of chemotactic peptide receptors present in HL-60 membranes provided direct evidence that a single formyl-peptide receptor is capable of catalyzing the binding of [35S]GTP[S] to, and thus the activation of, multiple (up to 20) G-proteins in native plasma membranes. 相似文献

In order to clarify the mechanism of action of the putative nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic SM-3997 [3a alpha,4 beta,7 beta,7a alpha)-Hexahydro-2-(4-(4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1- piperazinyl)-butyl)-4,7-methano-1H-isoindole-1,3 (2H)-dione dihydrogen citrate), in vitro binding studies with radiolabeled compound were performed. 3H-SM-3997 bound rapidly, reversibly and in a saturable manner with high affinity to rat brain hippocampal membranes (Kd = 9.4 nM, Bmax = 213 fmol/mg protein). This specific binding was displaced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and related compounds. Especially, 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT-1A selective agonist, bound with the highest affinity to these binding sites. 3H-SM-3997 binding, however, was not displaced by a variety of other neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and some other drugs. EDTA and physiological concentration of Na+ inhibited this specific binding, but several divalent cations, Mn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+, enhanced this binding. GTP decreased the affinity of these binding sites for 3H-SM-3997 without changing the number of binding sites, but GMP and ATP did not influence 3H-SM-3997 binding. Furthermore, 3H-SM-3997 bound with marked regional selectivity to hippocampal membranes. These characteristics and the regional distribution of 3H-SM-3997 binding sites were very similar to those of 3H-8-OH-DPAT binding sites (5-HT-1A receptors). Therefore, these results indicate that SM-3997 binds selectively and with high affinity to 5-HT-1A receptors in rat brain and may be an agonist. 相似文献

Binding of the poorly hydrolyzable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to purified guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) has been shown to be nonreversible in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Mg2+. In porcine atrial membranes, binding of [35S]GTP[S] to G proteins was stable in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. However, either large dilution or, even more strongly, addition of unlabelled guanine nucleotides, in the potency order, GTP[S] greater than GTP greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino]triphosphate greater than GDP greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate greater than GMP, markedly enhanced the observed dissociation, with 20-30% of bound [35S]GTP[S] being released by unlabelled guanine nucleotide within 20 min at 25 degrees C. Most interestingly, dissociation of [35S]GTP[S] was rapidly and markedly stimulated by agonist (carbachol) activation of cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Carbachol-stimulated release of [35S]GTP[S] was strictly dependent on the presence of Mg2+ and an unlabelled guanine nucleotide. Although having different potency and efficiency in releasing [35S]GTP[S] from the membranes by themselves, the guanine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates studied, at maximally effective concentrations, promoted the carbachol-induced dissociation to the same extent, while GMP and ATP were ineffective. GTP[S]-binding-saturation experiments indicated that one agonist-activated muscarinic acetylcholine receptor can cause release of bound GTP[S] from three to four G proteins. The data presented indicate that binding of GTP[S] to G proteins in intact membranes, in contrast to purified G proteins, is reversible, and that agonist-activated receptors can even, either directly or indirectly, interact with GTP[S]-bound G proteins, resulting in release of bound guanine nucleoside triphosphate. 相似文献

Specific binding of 3H-labeled platelet-activating factor (PAF) to rabbit platelet membranes was found to be regulated by monovalent and divalent cations and GTP. At 0 degrees C, inhibition of [3H]PAF binding by sodium is specific, with an ED50 of 6 mM, while Li+ is 25-fold less effective. On the contrary, K+, Cs+, and Rb+ enhance the binding. The divalent cations, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Mn2+ enhance the specific binding 8-10-fold. From both Scatchard and Klotz analyses, the inhibitory effect of Na+ is apparently due to an increase in the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of PAF binding to its receptors. However, the Mg2+-induced enhancement of the PAF specific binding may be attributed to an increased affinity of the receptor and an increased availability of the receptor sites. In the presence of Na+, PAF receptor affinity decreased with increasing temperature with a 100-fold sharp discontinuous decrease in receptor affinity at 24 degrees C. In contrast, the Mg2+-induced increase is independent of temperature suggesting that the Mg2+ regulatory site is different from Na+ regulatory site. [3H]PAF binding is also specifically inhibited by GTP; other nucleotides have little effect. PAF also stimulates hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]GTP with an ED50 of 0.7 nM, whereas 3-O-hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-1-phosphorylcholine showed no activity even at 10 microM. Moreover, such stimulatory effect of PAF is dependent on Na+ and can be abolished by the PAF-specific receptor antagonist, kadsurenone, but not by an inactive analog, kadsurin B. These results suggest that the PAF receptor may be coupled with the adenylate cyclase system via an inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. 相似文献
