Human neutrophils and HL-60 leukaemic cells possess an NADPH oxidase which catalyses superoxide (O2-) formation and is activated by the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe). In dibutyryl cyclic AMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, ATP and UTP in the presence of cytochalasin B activated O2- formation with EC50 values of 5 microM and efficacies amounting to 30% of that of fMet-Leu-Phe. The potency order of purine nucleotides in activating O2- generation was ATP = adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than ITP greater than dATP = ADP. Pyrimidine nucleotides activated NADPH oxidase in the potency order UTP greater than dUTP greater than CTP = TTP = UDP. Pertussis toxin completely prevented activation of NADPH oxidase by fMet-Leu-Phe and UTP, whereas the effect of ATP was only partially inhibited. ATP and UTP enhanced O2- generation induced by fMet-Leu-Phe by up to 8-fold, and primed the cells to respond to non-stimulatory concentrations of fMet-Leu-Phe. Activation of NADPH oxidase by UTP but not by ATP was inhibited by various activators of adenylate cyclase. In dimethyl sulphoxide-differentiated HL-60 cells and in human neutrophils, ATP and UTP per se did not activate NADPH oxidase, but they potentiated the effect of fMet-Leu-Phe. Our results suggest that purine and pyrimidine nucleotides act via purino- and novel pyrimidinoceptors respectively, which are coupled to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins leading to the activation of NADPH oxidase. As ATP and UTP are released from cells under physiological and pathological conditions, these nucleotides may play roles as intercellular signal molecules in the activation of O2- formation.  相似文献

The diastereomers of adenosine 5'-O-[1-thio]triphosphate (ATP[alpha S]) and adenosine 5'-O-[2-thio]triphosphate (ATP[beta S]) were utilized to seek unambiguous assignment of Mg2+ coordination to ATP when bound to ATP-AMP phosphotransferase from beef heart mitochondria (AK2). Similarly, the diastereomers of guanosine 5'-O-[thio]triphosphate (GTP[alpha S]) and guanosine 5'-O-[2-thio]triphosphate (GTP[beta S]) were utilized to seek unambiguous assignment of Mg2+ coordination to GTP when bound to GTP-AMP phosphotransferase from beef heart mitochondria (AK3). Furthermore the diastereomers of guanosine 5'-O-[1-thio]diphosphate (GDP-[alpha S]) have been used to assign Mg2+ coordination to GDP when bound to AK3. The ratios (V for isomer Sp)/(V for isomer Rp) obtained in the presence of Mg2+ and Cd2+ are compared to those already published for ATP-AMP phosphotransferases from pig muscle (AK1) [Kalbitzer et al. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 133, 221-227] and from baker's yeast (AKy) [Tomasselli and Noda (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 132, 109-115]. In all cases, coordination of Mg2+ to the beta-phosphate via the pro-R oxygen is present, as shown by reversal of specificity for the diastereomers of ATP [beta S] or GTP [beta S] respectively on changing the metal ion. In contrast, there is no reversal of specificity for the diastereomers of ATP [alpha S] or GTP[alpha S], or for GDP[alpha S] in the case of AK3 for the reverse reaction, indicating that there is no interaction of the metal with the alpha-phosphate group. The observed stereospecificity for the alpha-thiophosphate is consistent with the assumption of an interaction of the pro-R oxygen of the alpha-phosphate group with the enzyme.  相似文献

In membranes derived from NG108-15 cells, the opioid peptide [D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin (DADLE) stimulates a low Km GTPase. The nucleotide analogs guanosine 5'-O-(2-thio)diphosphate (GDP beta S), guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)-triphosphate (GTP gamma S) inhibit the basal enzymatic activity with the order of potency GTP gamma S greater than Gpp (NH)p greater than GDP beta S. In the presence of DADLE, the inhibition isotherms of GDP beta S and Gpp(NH)p are shifted to the right five- and fourfold, respectively, compared to the inhibition observed in the absence of DADLE. In contrast, the IC50 of GTP gamma S for inhibiting the enzyme is reduced by 55% in the presence of the opioid. Both Gpp(NH)p and GTP gamma S produce a concentration-dependent increase in the Km(app) of GTPase, without affecting its Vmax, indicating a competitive inhibition. However, the replots of Km(app) versus inhibitor concentration are hyperbolic, suggesting a partial type of inhibition. Both Gpp(NH)p and GTP gamma S, but not GTP, induce an increase in the EC50 of DADLE for stimulating GTPase. These findings indicate that the basal and the opioid-stimulated low Km GTPase differ in their respective sensitivities to inhibition by guanine nucleotide analogs.  相似文献

The regulation of Cl- conductance by cytoplasmic nucleotides was investigated in pancreatic and parotid zymogen granules. Cl- conductance was assayed by measuring the rate of cation-ionophore-induced osmotic lysis of granules suspended in iso-osmotic salt solutions. Both inhibition and stimulation were observed, depending on the type and concentration of nucleotide. Under optimal conditions, the average inhibition measured in different preparations was 1.6-fold, whereas the average stimulation was 4.4-fold. ATP was inhibitory at 1-10 microM but stimulated Cl- conductance above 50 microM. Stimulation by ATP was more pronounced in granules with low endogenous Cl- conductance. The potency of nucleotides in terms of inhibition was ATP greater than adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]) greater than UTP much greater than or equal to CTP much greater than or equal to GTP much greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) much greater than or equal to ITP. The potency with respect to stimulation had the following order: adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate (App[CH2]p) greater than ATP greater than guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]). Adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (App[NH]p) was also stimulatory, and was more potent than ATP in the parotid granules, but less potent in the pancreatic granules. Aluminium fluoride stimulated Cl- conductance maximally at 15-30 microM-Al3+ and 10-15 mM-F. F was less effective at higher concentrations. Protein phosphorylation by kinases was apparently not involved, since the nucleotide effects (1) could be mimicked by non-hydrolysable analogues of ATP and GTP, (2) showed reversibility, and (3) were not abolished by the protein kinase inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) or staurosporine. The data suggest the presence of at least two binding sites for nucleotides, whereby occupancy of one induces inhibition and occupancy of the other induces stimulation.  相似文献

Analogs of ATP and ADP produce a guanine nucleotide-dependent activation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte membranes with pharmacological properties consistent with those of a P2y-purinergic receptor (Boyer, J. L., Downes, C. P., and Harden, T.K. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 884-890). This study describes the interaction of adenosine-5'-O-2-thio[35S] diphosphate ([35S]ADP beta S) with this putative P2y-purinergic receptor on purified plasma membranes prepared from turkey erythrocytes. In binding assays performed at 30 degrees C, the association rate constant of [35S] was 1.1 x 10(7) M-1 min-1 and the dissociation rate constant was 3.8 x 10(-2) min-1. [35S]ADP beta S bound with high affinity (Kd = 6-10 nM) to an apparently homogeneous population of sites (Bmax = 2-4 pmol/mg protein). ATP and ADP analogs (2-methylthio ATP, ADP beta S, ATP, ADP, 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate, alpha, beta-methylene adenosine-5'-triphosphate, and beta, gamma-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate) inhibited the binding of [35S]ADP beta S with properties consistent with ligand interaction by simple law of mass action kinetics at a single site. The rank order of potency for inhibition of [35S]ADP beta S binding was identical to the potency order observed for these same agonists for stimulation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte ghosts. Guanine nucleotides inhibited [35S]ADP beta S binding in a noncompetitive manner with the following potency order: guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate greater than GTP = GDP greater than guanosine 5'-O-2-(thiodiphosphate). The data are consistent with the idea that [35S]ADP beta S may be used to radiolabel the P2y-purinergic receptor linked to activation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte membranes. In addition, interaction of radiolabeled agonist with the receptor is modified by guanine nucleotides, providing evidence that an agonist-induced receptor/guanine nucleotide regulatory protein complex may be involved in P2y-receptor action.  相似文献

Cultured pituitary cells prelabeled with myo-[2-3H] inositol were permeabilized by ATP4-, exposed to guanine nucleotides and resealed by Mg2+. Addition of guanosine 5'-0-(3-thio triphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to permeabilized cells, or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) to resealed cells, resulted in enhanced phospholipase C activity as determined by [3H] inositol phosphate (Ins-P) production. The effect was not additive, but the combined effect was partially inhibited by guanosine 5'-0-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) or by neomycin. Surprisingly, addition of GDP beta S (100-600 microM) on its own resulted in a dose-related increase in [3H]Ins-P accumulation. Several nucleoside triphosphates stimulated phospholipase C activity in permeabilized pituitary cells with the following order: UTP greater than GTP gamma S greater than ATP greater than CTP. The stimulatory effect of UTP, ATP and CTP, but not GTP gamma S or GDP beta S, could also be demonstrated in normal pituitary cells suggesting a receptor-activated mechanism. GTP and GTP gamma S decreased the affinity of GnRH binding to pituitary membranes and stimulated LH secretion in permeabilized cells. These results suggest the existence of at least two G-proteins (stimulatory and inhibitory) which are involved in phospholipase C activation and GnRH action in pituitary cells.  相似文献

The effect of guanine nucleotides on platelet and calf brain cytosolic phospholipase C was examined in the absence of membranes or detergents in an assay using labeled lipid vesicles. Guanine nucleotides stimulate hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [( 3H]PtdIns-4,5-P2) catalyzed both by enzyme from human platelets and by partially purified enzyme from calf brain. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was the most potent guanine nucleotide with a half-maximal stimulation at 1-10 microM, followed by guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate greater than GTP greater than GDP = guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate). Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) was able to reverse the GTP gamma S-mediated stimulation. NaF also stimulated phospholipase C activity, further implying a role for a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. In the presence of GTP gamma S, the enzyme cleaved PtdIns-4,5-P2 at higher pH values, and the need for calcium ions was reduced 100-fold. The stimulation of PtdIns-4,5-P2 hydrolysis by GTP gamma S ranged from 2 to 25-fold under various conditions, whereas hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylinositol was only slightly affected by guanine nucleotides. We propose that a soluble guanine nucleotide-dependent protein activates phospholipase C to hydrolyze its initial substrate in the sequence of phosphoinositide-derived messenger generation.  相似文献

Rabbit brain cortical membranes, which have been extracted with 2 M KCl, hydrolyze exogenously added [3H]phosphatidylinositol [( 3H]PI) in a guanine nucleotide- and carbachol-dependent manner. Both oxotremorine-M and carbachol are full agonists with EC50 values of 8 and 73 microM, respectively. Pirenzepine and atropine inhibit carbachol-stimulated [3H]PI hydrolysis. The hydrolysis-resistant guanine nucleotide analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) is the most potent in supporting carbachol-stimulated hydrolysis of PI. There is no effect of carbachol in the absence of guanine nucleotides or in the presence of 100 microM adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), adenosine-5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate, or sodium pyrophosphate. Guanylyl-5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] in the presence of carbachol also stimulates PI hydrolysis although much less than that seen with GTP gamma S. GDP and Gpp(NH)p are potent antagonists of the GTP gamma S-dependent carbachol response. Optimal stimulation by carbachol and GTP gamma S was observed at 0.3-1 microM free Ca2+ and 6 mM MgCl2. Limited trypsinization resulted in loss of receptor-regulated PI breakdown and a slight decrease in basal activity. These results demonstrate that phospholipase C hydrolysis of exogenous PI by rabbit cortical membranes may be stimulated by carbachol in a guanine nucleotide-dependent manner.  相似文献

[3H]Inositol-labelled GH3 rat anterior pituitary tumour cells were permeabilized with digitonin and were incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. [3H]Polyphosphoinositide breakdown and [3H]inositol phosphate production were stimulated by hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogues and by Ca2+. Of the nucleotides tested, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) was the most effective stimulus. Activation by GTP gamma S appeared to be mediated by a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein as GTP gamma S-stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate production was inhibited by other nucleotides with a potency order of GTP = GDP = guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate greater than ITP greater than GMP greater than UTP = CTP = adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate. The stimulatory effects of 10 microM-GTP gamma S on [3H]inositol phosphate levels were reversed by spermine and spermidine with IC50 values of approx. 0.25 and 2 mM respectively. Putrescine was inhibitory only at higher concentrations. Similarly, GTP gamma S-induced decreases in [3H]polyphosphoinositide levels were reversed by 2.5 mM-spermine. The inhibitory effects of spermine were not overcome by supramaximal concentrations of GTP gamma S. In contrast, [3H]inositol phosphate production stimulated by addition of 0.3-0.6 mM-Ca2+ to incubation media was only partially inhibited by spermine (5 mM), and spermine was not inhibitory when added Ca2+ was increased to 1 mM. These data show that polyamines, particularly spermine, inhibit phospholipase C-catalysed polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis with a marked selectivity towards the stimulatory effects of GTP gamma S.  相似文献

NADPH-oxidase-catalyzed superoxide (O2-) formation in membranes of HL-60 leukemic cells was activated by arachidonic acid in the presence of Mg2+ and HL-60 cytosol. The GTP analogues, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S] and guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate, being potent activators of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), stimulated O2- formation up to 3.5-fold. The adenine analogue of GTP[gamma S], adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), which can serve as donor of thiophosphoryl groups in kinase-mediated reactions, stimulated O2- formation up to 2.5-fold, whereas the non-phosphorylating adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate was inactive. The effect of ATP[gamma S] was half-maximal at a concentration of 2 microM, was observed in the absence of added GDP and occurred with a lag period two times longer than the one with GTP[gamma S]. HL-60 membranes exhibited nucleoside-diphosphate kinase activity, catalyzing the thiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] by ATP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] formation was half-maximal at a concentration of 3-4 microM ATP[gamma S] and was suppressed by removal of GDP by creatine kinase/creatine phosphate (CK/CP). The stimulatory effect of ATP[gamma S] on O2- formation was abolished by the nucleoside-diphosphate kinase inhibitor UDP. Mg2+ chelation with EDTA and removal of endogenous GDP by CK/CP abolished NADPH oxidase activation by ATP[gamma S] and considerably diminished stimulation by GTP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] also served as a thiophosphoryl group donor to GDP, with an even higher efficiency than ATP[gamma S]. Transthiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] was only partially inhibited by CK/CP. Our results suggest that NADPH oxidase is regulated by a G protein, which may be activated either by exchange of bound GDP by guanosine triphosphate or by thiophosphoryl group transfer to endogenous GDP by nucleoside-diphosphate kinase.  相似文献

A1 adenosine receptors and associated guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) were purified from bovine cerebral cortex by affinity chromatography (Munshi, R., and Linden, J. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14853-14859). In this study we have identified the pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein subunits that co-purify with A1 adenosine receptors by immunoblotting with specific antipeptide antisera. Gi alpha 1, Gi alpha 2, Go alpha, G beta 35, and G beta 36 were detected. Of the total [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate [( 35S]GTP gamma S) binding sites, Gi alpha 1 and Go alpha each accounted for greater than 37% whereas Gi alpha 2 comprised less than 13%. G beta 35 was found in excess over G beta 36. Low molecular mass (21-25 kDa) GTP-binding proteins were not detected. We also examined the characteristics of purified receptors and various purified bovine brain G proteins reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. All three alpha-subunits restored GTP gamma S-sensitive high affinity binding of the agonist 125I-aminobenzyladenosine to a fraction (25%) of reconstituted receptors with a selectivity order of Gi2 greater than Go greater than or equal to Gi1 (ED50 values of G proteins measured as fold excess over the receptor concentration were 4.7 +/- 1.2, 24 +/- 5, and 34 +/- 7, respectively). Furthermore, receptors occupied with the agonist R-phenylisopropyladenosine catalytically increased the rate of binding of [35S]GTP gamma S to reconstituted G proteins by 6.5-8.5-fold. These results suggest that A1 adenosine receptors couple indiscriminately to pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins.  相似文献

The diastereomers of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ATP alpha S), adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiotriphosphate) (ATP beta S), and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S) could act as substrates for phosphomevalonate kinase in the presence of Mg2+ and Cd2+ as activating divalent metal cations. The Sp diastereomer of ATP alpha S was the preferred substrate regardless of the metal ion used, consistent with the metal ion not binding to the alpha-phosphate. With ATP beta S, the Sp diastereomer was the preferred substrate with Mg2+, and the Rp diastereomer was the preferred substrate with Cd2+. The reversal of specificity establishes that the metal is chelated through the beta-phosphate in the active site of the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction. A comparison of the Vmax values as a function of substitution of oxygen by sulfur showed the order for Mg2+ to be: ATP greater than ATP alpha S(Sp) greater than ATP alpha S(Rp) greater than ATP beta S(Sp) greater than ATP gamma S greater than ATP beta S(Rp). With Cd2+ as the activating metal ion, the order was: ATP greater than ATP alpha S(Sp) greater than ATP alpha S(Rp) greater than ATP beta S(Rp) greater than ATP gamma S greater than ATP beta S(Sp). It is concluded that the chelate structure of metal ATP substrate in the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction is the delta, beta, gamma-bidentate complex. 31P NMR measurements and radioassay with [2-14C] phosphomevalonate were used to measure the equilibrium of the reaction catalyzed by phosphomevalonate kinase with ATP and phosphorothioate analogues of ATP as the phosphoryl group donor. The order as a phosphate donor as determined by both methods in the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction is ATP beta S greater than ATP alpha S greater than ATP greater than ATP gamma S. Except for ATP gamma S, the equilibrium is shifted in the direction of formation of ADP alpha S and ADP beta S relative to ADP formation. Thus, ATP beta S rather than ATP would be effective for the synthesis of diphosphomevalonate. The phosphomevalonate kinase reaction could also be used to synthesize mevalonate 5-(2-thiodiphosphate) using ATP gamma S as the phosphoryl group donor.  相似文献

Membranes prepared from [3H]inositol-labeled turkey erythrocytes express a phospholipase C that is markedly stimulated by stable analogs of GTP (Harden, T. K., Stephens, L., Hawkins, P. T., and Downes, C. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9057-9061). We now report that P2-purinergic receptor-mediated regulation of the enzyme occurs in the membrane preparation. The order of potency of a series of ATP and ADP analogs for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation, i.e. 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate (2MeSATP) greater than adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) greater than adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than ATP greater than 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate approximately ADP greater than alpha, beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate greater than beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate, was consistent with that for the P2Y-purinergic receptor subtype. Agonist-stimulated effects were completely dependent on the presence of guanine nucleotide. Activation of phospholipase C by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) occurred with a considerable time lag. The rate of activation followed first order kinetics and was markedly increased by increasing concentrations of a P2Y receptor agonist; in contrast, the rate of activation at a fixed agonist concentration was independent of guanine nucleotide concentration. Addition of guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) prior to addition of agonist and GTP, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), or GTP gamma S blocked in a concentration-dependent manner the stimulatory effect of guanine nucleotide. GDP beta S, added subsequent to preactivation of membranes with 2MeSATP and GTP gamma S or Gpp(NH)p had only small inhibitory effects on the rate of inositol phosphate production observed over the subsequent 10 min. In contrast, addition of GDP beta S to GTP-preactivated membranes resulted in a rapid return of enzyme activity to the basal state within 60 s. Taken together, the data are consistent with the idea that P2Y receptor activation increases the rate of exchange of GTP and GTP analogs for GDP on the relevant guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. Once the active enzymic species is formed, hydrolysis of guanine nucleotide reverts the enzyme to the inactive state.  相似文献

The relationship between phospholipase A2 and C activation and secretion was investigated in intact human neutrophils and differentiated HL60 cells. Activation by either ATP or fMetLeuPhe leads to [3H]arachidonic acid release into the external medium from prelabelled cells. This response was inhibited when the cells were pretreated with pertussis toxin. When the [3H]arachidonic acid-labelled cells were stimulated with fMetLeuPhe, ATP or Ca2+ ionophore A23187, and the lipids analysed by t.l.c., the increase in free fatty acid was accompanied by decreases in label from phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine. Moreover, incorporation of label into triacylglycerol and to a lesser extent phosphatidylethanolamine was evident. Activation of secretion was evident with ATP and fMetLeuPhe but not with A23187. The pharmacological specificity of the ATP receptor in HL60 cells was investigated by measuring secretion of beta-glucuronidase, formation of inositol phosphatases and release of [3H]arachidonic acid. External addition of ATP, UTP, ITP, adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]), adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (App[NH]p), XTP, CTP, GTP, 8-bromo-ATP and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) to intact HL60 cells stimulated inositol phosphate production, but only the first five nucleotides were effective at stimulating secretion or [3H]arachidonic acid release. In human neutrophils, addition of ATP, ITP, UTP and ATP[S] also stimulated secretion from specific and azurophilic granules, and this was accompanied by increases in cytosolic Ca2+ and in [3H]arachidonic acid release. The addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 1 nM) prior to the addition of either fMetLeuPhe or ATP led to inhibition of phospholipase C activity. In contrast, this had no effect on phospholipase A2 activation, whilst secretion was potentiated. Phospholipase A2 activation by either agonist was dependent on an intact cell metabolism, as was secretion. It is concluded that (1) activation of phospholipase C does not always lead to activation of phospholipase A2, (2) phospholipase A2 is coupled to the receptor independently of phospholipase C via a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein and (3) for secretion to take place, the receptor has to activate both phospholipases C and A2.  相似文献

The study was aimed to investigate the existence of at least two kinds of P2Y receptors linked to steroidogenesis in bovine adrenocortical fasciculata cells (BAFCs). Extracellular nucleotides facilitated steroidogenesis in BAFCs. The potency order was UTP > adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio) triphosphate (ATPgammaS) > ATP > 2-methylthio ATP (2MeSATP) > adenosine 5'-(beta-thio) diphosphate (ADPbetaS) > alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-me-ATP), beta,gamma-methylene ATP (beta,gamma -me-ATP). ATPgammaS (10-100 microM) remarkably stimulated both total inositol phosphates (IPs) production and cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation. Competitive displacement experiments by using [35S]ATPgammaS as a radioactive ligand in BAFCs showed that the potency under these unlabelled ligands was ATPgammaS > ATP > ADPbetaS > 2MeSATP > UTP > alpha,beta-me-ATP, beta,gamma-me-ATP. These suggest that two different binding sites of [35S]ATPgammaS, namely P2Y receptors, exist in BAFCs, and that these receptors are linked to steroidogenesis via distinct second messenger systems in the cells.  相似文献

ATP promoted biphasic effects on both basal and fMLP-stimulated arachidonic acid (AA) release in neutrophil-like HL60 cells: stimulation in the micromolar range (EC50 = 3.2 +/- 0.9 microM) and inhibition at higher concentrations (EC50 = 90 +/- 11 microM). ATP also inhibited UTP- and platelet activating factor-stimulated AA release. Only stimulatory effects of ATP on basal or fMLP-stimulated phospholipase C were observed. The inhibitory effect of ATP on AA release was not due to reacylation of released AA, chelation of extracellular Ca2+, cell permeabilization, or changes in the rise of [Ca2+]i induced by agonist. The inhibition was rapid, being detected within 5-15 s. The inhibitory effect of ATP on fMLP-stimulated AA release could be desensitized by pretreatment of the cells with 2 mM ATP, but not 20 microM ATP, the concentration that resulted in maximal release of AA and inositol phosphates. The inhibition by ATP was neither dependent on generation of adenosine by ATP hydrolysis nor the result of direct interaction of ATP with P1 purinergic receptors. Among other nucleotides tested (CTP, GTP, ITP, TTP, XTP, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P), ADP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S), and UTP), only UTP and ATP gamma S displayed biphasic effects with potencies and efficacies almost identical to those of ATP. The other nucleotides only exhibited stimulatory effects (EC50 = 60-300 microM). The results are consistent with a model of dual regulation of AA release by two distinct subtypes of P2U receptors in HL60 cells.  相似文献

We have characterized a magnesium-dependent guanylate cyclase in homogenates of Dictyostelium discoideum cells. 1) The enzyme shows an up to 4-fold higher cGMP synthesis in the presence of GTP analogues with half-maximal activation at about 1 microM guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) or 100 microM guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate; little or no stimulation was observed with GTP, guanosine mono- and diphosphates or with adenine nucleotides, with the exception of the ATP analogue adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate. 2) Both basal and GTP gamma S-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity were rapidly lost from homogenates as was the ability of GTP gamma S to stimulate the enzyme after cell lysis. 3) Inclusion of 25 microM GTP gamma S during cell lysis reduced the KM for GTP from 340 to 85 microM and increased the Vmax from 120 to 255 pmol/min.mg protein, as assayed in homogenates 90 s after cell lysis. 4) Besides acting as an activator, GTP gamma S was also a substrate for the enzyme with a KM = 120 microM and a Vmax = 115 pmol/min.mg protein. 5) GTP gamma S-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent guanylate cyclase was inhibited by submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ ions, and by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in the absence of Ca2+ chelators. 6) Guanylate cyclase activity was detected in both supernatant and pellet fractions after 1 min centrifugation at 10,000 x g; however, only sedimentable enzyme was stimulated by GTP gamma S. We suggest that the Mg2+-dependent guanylate cyclase identified represents the enzyme that in intact cells is regulated via cell surface receptors, and we propose that guanine nucleotides are allosteric activators of this enzyme and that Ca2+ ions play a role in the maintenance of the enzyme in its basal state.  相似文献

We have previously determined that human neutrophils and monocytes, as well as neutrophil/monocyte progenitor cells, express a subtype of P2-purinergic receptors (for ATP) which activate the inositol phospholipid signalling system. In the present study, membranes prepared from HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells were used to examine the mechanism by which these ATP receptors activate phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) under defined in vitro conditions. Micromolar concentrations of the receptor agonists ATP, UTP, and ATP gamma S stimulated the GTP-dependent formation of inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in washed membranes prepared from undifferentiated HL-60 cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol. The stimulatory effects of these nucleotides on PI-PLC appeared to be mediated through a GTP binding protein since minimal inositol polyphosphate accumulation was observed in the absence of guanine nucleotides. The increased inositol polyphosphate formation triggered by these nucleotide receptor agonists did not result from inhibition of GTP breakdown. Neither was it a consequence of increased [3H]polyphosphatidylinositol levels resulting from enhanced activity of membrane-associated PI- or PIP-kinases. Instead, the stimulated phospholipase activity was apparently receptor-mediated. The rank order of potency observed in these in vitro membrane assays (ATP = UTP greater than ATP gamma S much greater than TTP greater than CTP much greater than beta, gamma-CH-ATP) was similar to that observed with intact HL-60 cells. This order of potency appears to distinguish the P2-purinergic receptors expressed by human phagocytic leukocytes from the P2 gamma-purinergic receptors which activate PI-PLC in turkey erythrocyte membranes.  相似文献

The Escherichia coli ClpA protein is a molecular chaperone that binds and translocates protein substrates into the proteolytic cavity of the tetradecameric serine protease ClpP. In the absence of ClpP, ClpA can remodel protein complexes. In order for ClpA to bind protein substrates targeted for removal or remodeling, ClpA requires nucleoside triphosphate binding to first assemble into a hexamer. Here we report the assembly properties of ClpA in the presence of the nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates ADP, adenosine 5′-[γ-thio]triphosphate, adenosine 5′-(β,γ-imido)triphosphate, β,γ-methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate, and adenosine diphosphate beryllium fluoride. In addition to examining the assembly of ClpA in the presence of various nucleotides and nucleotide analogues, we have also correlated the assembly state of ClpA in the presence of these nucleotides with both polypeptide binding activity and enzymatic activity, specifically ClpA-catalyzed polypeptide translocation. Here we show that all of the selected nucleotides, including ADP, promote the assembly of ClpA. However, only adenosine 5′-[γ-thio]triphosphate and adenosine 5′-(β,γ-imido)triphosphate promote the formation of an oligomer of ClpA that is active in polypeptide binding and translocation. These results suggest that the presence of γ phosphate may serve to switch ClpA into a conformational state with high peptide binding activity, whereas affinity is severely attenuated when ADP is bound.  相似文献
