Pertussis toxin selectively modifies the function of Ni, the inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein of the adenylate cyclase complex. In chick heart membranes, guanine nucleotide activation of Ni resulted in a decrease in the apparent affinity of the muscarinic receptor for the agonist oxotremorine, inhibition of basal adenylate cyclase activity, and the attenuation of adenylate cyclase by oxotremorine. Treatment of chicks with pertussis toxin caused the covalent modification of 80-85% of cardiac Ni. After this treatment Gpp(NH)p had no effect on muscarinic receptor affinity and GTP stimulated basal adenylate cyclase activity. In contrast, the GTP-dependent attenuation of adenylate cyclase caused by muscarinic receptors was unaffected.  相似文献

There is considerable evidence that adenosine 3, 5-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is involved in the modulation of synaptic transmission in the guinea pig superior cervical ganglion (SCG). Presynaptic muscarinic receptors are known to attenuate, when activated, acetylcholine (ACh) release in the periphery as well as in the brain. Thus, the possible relationship between ganglionic adenylate cyclase activity and the output of ACh from electrically stimulated ganglia, preloaded with [3H]choline, was investigated. The muscarinic agonist oxotremorine significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner the electrically evoked neurotransmitter release. The adenylate cyclase inhibitor N-(cis-2-phenylcyclopentyl)azacyclotridecan-2-imine hydrochloride (RMI 12330 A) also decreased ACh output. The inhibitory effects of these two drugs were additive. In crude ganglion membrane fractions oxotremorine significantly inhibited adenylate cyclase activity. The results indicate that drugs capable of inhibiting adenylate cyclase, significantly decrease ACh output from preganglionic nerve terminals in guinea pig SCG.  相似文献

Pertussis toxin inhibits enkephalin stimulation of GTPase of NG108-15 cells   总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22  
In neuroblastoma-glioma (NG108-15) hybrid cells, opiates inhibit adenylate cyclase and stimulate a low Km GTPase. It has been postulated that the stimulation of GTPase plays a role in opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Koski, G., and Klee, W. A. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 4185-4189). Treatment of NG108-15 cells with pertussis toxin attenuates receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The toxin acts by catalyzing the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000-dalton substrate believed to be a part of the receptor-adenylate cyclase complex. We have found that toxin treatment of NG108-15 results in inhibition of the opiate-stimulated GTPase. The concentration of toxin required for inhibition of this GTPase was similar to that needed for both attenuation of opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase and ADP ribosylation of the 41,000-dalton substrate. Inhibition of the opiate-induced GTPase by pertussis toxin in isolated membranes required NAD, consistent with the hypothesis that this effect of the toxin resulted from ADP ribosylation of a protein component of the system. Since the opiate-stimulated GTPase is believed to play a role in the receptor-mediated decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, inhibition of this GTPase may be an important part of the mechanism by which the toxin interferes with opiate action on adenylate cyclase.  相似文献

Signaling mechanisms coupled to activation of different neurotransmitter receptors interact in the enteric nervous system. ACh excites myenteric neurons by activating nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) and muscarinic receptors expressed by the same neurons. These studies tested the hypothesis that muscarinic receptor activation alters the functional properties of nAChRs in guinea pig small intestinal myenteric neurons maintained in primary culture. Whole cell patch-clamp techniques were used to measure inward currents caused by ACh (1 mM) or nicotine (1 mM). Currents caused by ACh and nicotine were blocked by hexamethonium (100 microM) and showed complete cross desensitization. The rate and extent of nAChR desensitization was greater when recordings were obtained with ATP/GTP-containing compared with ATP/GTP-free pipette solutions. These data suggest that ATP/GTP-dependent mechanisms increase nAChR desensitization. The muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine (1 microM) decreased desensitization caused by ACh but not by nicotine, which does not activate muscarinic receptors. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (10-100 nM), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), but not 4-alpha-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (a PKC inactive phorbol ester), increased nAChR desensitization caused by ACh and nicotine. Forskolin (1 microM), an activator of adenylate cyclase, increased nAChR desensitization, but this effect was mimicked by dideoxyforskolin, an adenylate cyclase inactive forskolin analog. These data indicate that simultaneous activation of nAChRs and muscarinic receptors increases nAChR desensitization. This effect may involve activation of a PKC-dependent pathway. These data also suggest that nAChRs and muscarinic receptors are coupled functionally through an intracellular signaling pathway in myenteric neurons.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on the activation of adenylate cyclase by dopamine (DA) in a lysed synaptosomal preparation from rat striatum. ACh reduced both basal and the DA-activated adenylate cyclase with an apparent IC50 of approximately 1 microM. From a kinetic analysis it appeared that ACh reduced the Vmax for activation by DA but not the activation constant for DA. For most preparations the Vmax was reduced by 30-40%. The presence of atropine did not affect the activation of the enzyme by DA but it blocked the inhibition by ACh. Following 6-hydroxydopamine lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway, the enzyme became supersensitive to activation by DA and also more sensitive to inhibition by ACh. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by ACh appeared to be rather specific for activation by DA, as ACh had no effect on activation of adenylate cyclase by the adenosine analogue N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine. These results indicate that some striatal muscarinic and dopaminergic receptors are probably coupled to the same adenylate cyclase domain. Moreover, they suggest a biochemical model for the dynamic balance of cholinergic and dopaminergic neurons that innervate the striatum.  相似文献

Activation of cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) on cultured chick heart cells results in a decrease in cellular cAMP levels and a stimulation of phosphoinositide breakdown. A serum-free culture system has been used to investigate the regulation of mAChR number and function by purified serum high density lipoprotein (HDL). Administration of HDL purified from rooster serum to chick heart cells cultured in defined medium results in an attenuation of the ability of muscarinic agonist to inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, with no change in its ability to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis or to mediate down-regulation of receptor number. The inclusion of HDL in the culture medium did not result in appreciable changes in mAChR number or affinity, nor were the levels of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) altered. However, the ability of guanine nucleotides to inhibit forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was reduced by HDL treatment, suggesting that HDL interferes with the capacity of G-proteins to interact with adenylate cyclase. In order to determine which component of native HDL mediates the decreased effectiveness of carbachol, the ability of lipid and apoprotein fractions to mimic the effect of HDL was tested. HDL lipid fractions were able to mimic the effect of native HDL, while protein fractions were not. This result suggests that the ability of HDL to attenuate muscarinic receptor function is mediated by its lipid constituents. The effect of HDL and HDL lipid fractions were not correlated with changes in membrane cholesterol content.  相似文献

(-)-Norepinephrine and other catecholamines inhibit basal and prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities by 35 to 60% in homogenates of NG108-15 neuroblastoma x gloma hybrid cells and markedly reduce adenosine 3'35:'-monophosphate levels of intact cells, but do not affect guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate levels. The specificity of the NG108-15 receptor for ligands is that of an alpha receptor, possibly a presynaptic alpha 2 receptor. The inhibition of adenylate cyclase by norepinephrine is reversed by alpha receptor antagonists such as dihydroergotamine or phentolamine, but not by the beta receptor antagonist propranolol. The effect of norepinephrine on adenylate cyclase activity initially is dependent on GTP; half-maximal inhibition of enzyme activity by norepinephrine is obtained with 0.2 micron GTP. The inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity by norepinephrine is reduced by 10 mM NaF and is abolished by 0.05 mM guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate. Inhibitions of NG108-15 adenylate cyclase mediated by alpha receptors, opiate receptors, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are not additive; this suggests that the three species of receptors can be functionally coupled to the same adenylate cyclase molecules or molecules regulating the enzyme.  相似文献

Catecholamine-stimulated GTPase activity in turkey erythrocyte membranes.   总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44  
Determination of specific GTPase (EC 3.6.1.--) activity in turkey erythrocyte membranes was achieved using low concentration of GTP (0.25 muM), inhibition of nonspecific nucleoside triphosphatases by adenosine 5'(beta,gamma-imino-triphosphate (App(NH)p) and suppression of the transfer of gamma-32P from GTP to ADP with an ATP regeneration system. Under these conditions catacholamines caused a 30--70% increase in GTP hydrolysis. The stimulation of GTPase activity by catecholamines required the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. DIfferent batches of membranes revealed the following specific activities (pmol 32Pi/mg protein min): basal GTPase (determined in the absence of catecholamine), 6-- 11; catecholamine-stimulated TTPase, 3--7; and residual non-specific NTPase 3--5. The stimulation of GTPase activity by catecholamines fulfilled the stereospecific requirements of the beta-adrenergic receptor, and was inhibited by propranolol. The concentrations of DL-isoproterenol which half-maximally activated the GTPase and adenylate cyclase were 1 and 1.2 muM, respectively. The following findings indicate that the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase is independent of the catalytic production of cyclic AMP by the adenylate cyclase. Addition of cyclic AMP to the GTPase assay did not change the rate of GTP hydrolysis. Furthermore, treatment of the membrane with N-ethylmaleimide (MalNEt) at 0 degrees C which caused 98% inhibition of the adenylate cyclase, had no effect on the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase. The affinity and specificity for GTP in the GTPase reactions are similar to those previously reported for the stimulation of the adenylate cyclase. The apparent Km for GTP in the basal and the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase reaction was 0.1 muM. These GTPase activities were inhibited by ITP but not by CTP and UTP. It is proposed that a catecholamine-stimulated GTPase is a component of the turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase system.  相似文献

Expression of activation of rat liver adenylate cyclase by the A1 peptide of cholera toxin and NAD is dependent on GTP. The nucleotide is effective either when added to the assay medium or during toxin (and NAD) treatment. Toxin treatment increases the Vmax for activation by GTP and the effect of GTP persists in toxin-treated membranes, a property seen in control membranes only with non-hydrolyzable analogs of GTP such as Gpp(NH)p. These observations could be explained by a recent report that cholera toxin acts to inhibit a GTPase associated with denylate cyclase. However, we have observed that one of the major effects of the toxin is to decrease the affinity of guanine nucleotides for the processes involved in the activation of adenylate cyclase and in the regulation of the binding of glucagon to its receptor. Moreover, the absence of lag time in the activation of adenylate cyclase by GTP, in contrast to by Gpp(NH)p, and the markedly reduced fluoride action after toxin treatment suggest that GTPase inhibition may not be the only action of cholera toxin on the adenylate cyclase system. We believe that the multiple effects of toxin action is a reflection of the recently revealed complexity of the regulation of adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotides.  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

The relationship between Fc receptor specific for IgG2b (Fc gamma 2bR) and membrane adenylate cyclase was investigated. The specific binding of IgG2b immune complexes to P388D1 cell surface Fc gamma 2bR was found to inhibit the basal, forskolin-stimulated, and NaF-stimulated activities of membrane adenylate cyclase by 53%, 57%, and 31%, respectively. On the other hand, the binding of IgG2a immune complexes to cell surface Fc gamma 2aR increased the basal activity about 2.5-fold and the forskolin- and NaF-stimulated activities slightly. The fusion of liposomes containing Fc gamma 2bR, which was obtained as phosphatidylcholine (PC) binding protein as previously described, with the cyc- membrane preparations resulted in the marked suppression of membrane adenylate cyclase, whereas the fusion of liposomes containing Fc gamma 2a, which was obtained as IgG-binding protein, led to about a 2.7-fold increase. The Fc gamma 2bR-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase may be due to the temporary change of the lipid environment caused by the action of phospholipase A2, which was previously shown to be associated with Fc gamma 2bR, since (1) addition of snake venom phospholipase A2 or cholate-solubilized PC-binding protein to P388D1 membrane was found to inhibit adenylate cyclase in a dose-dependent manner, (2) prior treatment of snake venom phospholipase A2 or PC-binding protein with a specific inhibitor, p-bromophenacyl bromide, significantly reduced their inhibitory action, and (3) a product of phospholipase A2 action, arachidonic acid, was found to be an effective inhibitor of membrane adenylate cyclase, whereas the other product, lysophosphatidylcholine, was much less inhibitory than arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid appeared to interfere with the functions of both guanine nucleotide-binding stimulatory (Gs) protein and the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase, since exogenously added arachidonic acid significantly suppressed the GTPase activity of P388D1 membrane and the forskolin response of the adenylate cyclase activity of Gs protein deficient cyc- membrane. The primary site of action of lysophosphatidylcholine is not clear but may be other than Gs protein and/or the catalytic subunit, since it did not change either GTPase activity of P388D1 membrane or the response to forskolin of adenylate cyclase of cyc- membrane. The Fc gamma 2bR/phospholipase A2 mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase would be a transient event in viable cells, since phospholipase A2 did not inhibit adenylate cyclase in the presence of microsomal fraction, mitochondria, and coenzyme A, suggesting the occurrence of rapid acylation of CoA and reacylation of lysolecithin.  相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that during embryonic development of the chick heart between days 2 1/2 and 10 days in ovo, muscarinic cholinergic inhibition of isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity increased 4-fold, and the sensitivity of isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity to inhibition by carbamylcholine increased 26-fold. Although the number of muscarinic receptors remained constant between days 2 1/2 and 10 in ovo, the levels of a 39- and 41-kDa pertussis toxin substrate increased in parallel with the ability of muscarinic agonist to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity (Liang. B.T., Hellmich, M. R., Neer, E. J., and Galper, J. B. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9011-9021). These data are consistent with the hypothesis that between days 2 1/2 and 10 in ovo muscarinic receptors were uncoupled from inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity because of limiting levels of pertussis toxin substrates. In the current studies, in order to test this hypothesis homogenates of embryonic chick hearts 3 1/2 days in ovo were reconstituted with membranes from hearts of hatched chicks. In order to rule out reconstitution by factors from hatched chick hearts other than pertussis toxin substrates, muscarinic receptors from hatched chick hearts were inactivated by covalent binding of benzilycholine mustard and adenylate cyclase inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide prior to reconstitution. Reconstitution of benzilylcholine mustard/N-ethylmaleimide treated hatched chick heart membranes with homogenates of embryonic chick hearts 3 1/2 days in ovo resulted in a 2 1/2-fold increase in the ability of carbamylcholine to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity and reconstitution of hatched chick heart membranes with homogenates of hearts 2 1/2 days in ovo resulted in an approximately 10-fold increase in the sensitivity of isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity to inhibition by carbamylcholine. Membranes from hearts of hatched chicks which had been injected with pertussis toxin were incapable of reconstituting muscarinic inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of hearts 3 1/2 days in ovo. These data support the conclusion that early in embryonic development coupling of muscarinic receptors to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity is limited by the availability of a pertussis toxin substrate.  相似文献

The muscarinic stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in rat olfactory bulb was characterized, with the aim of elucidating the nature of the molecular mechanism involved. Carbachol (CCh) stimulated the enzyme activity in either crude or purified cell membrane preparations and increased cyclic AMP accumulation in miniprisms of olfactory bulb. The CCh stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity displayed a fast onset and was rapidly reversed by addition of atropine. The stimulation was associated with an increase in the apparent Vmax of the enzyme, with no change in the Km for Mg-ATP. The affinity of the enzyme for Mg2+ was enhanced by CCh. The muscarinic effect required GTP at concentrations higher than those needed for enzyme stimulation with either l-isoproterenol or vasoactive intestinal peptide. Moreover, contrary to the beta-adrenergic stimulation, the muscarinic effect disappeared when guanosine 5'-O-(3'-thiotriphosphate) was substituted for GTP. In vivo treatment of olfactory bulbs with pertussis toxin completely prevented the muscarinic stimulation of adenylate cyclase, whereas cholera toxin was without effect. These results indicate that in rat olfactory bulb muscarinic receptors increase adenylate cyclase activity by interacting with a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein different from the stimulatory GTP-binding protein.  相似文献

In cultured rat striatal neurons exposed to 10 microM morphine or oxotremorine for 24 hours, we observed an increased (about 30%) dopamine D1 receptor-stimulated cyclic AMP production, whereas no desensitization of mu-opioid receptor or muscarinic cholinergic receptor was found. However, whereas upregulation of dopamine D1 receptor-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity upon 7 days morphine exposure was at least as pronounced as observed after 24 hours of exposure to the opioid, this adaptive phenomenon was virtually absent following one week of oxotremorine treatment. This reduced adenylate cyclase sensitization upon 7 days oxotremorine exposure appeared to coincide with desensitization of muscarinic cholinergic receptors. A possible role of the resistance of mu receptors to desensitization and the (resulting) upregulation of the neuronal adenylate cyclase system upon chronic receptor activation in the development of opiate tolerance and dependence is suggested.  相似文献

The influence of nerve growth factor (NGF) on the activities of adenylate cyclase and high-affinity GTPase in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells was studied. Incubation of cells with nerve growth factor led to a rapid activation of adenylate cyclase accompanied by an inhibition of high-affinity GTPase. By the 10th min of incubation the activity of adenylate cyclase had been reduced 2-fold when compared to the control. The activity of GTPase, however, increased. No significant changes in the cAMP level were detected. The data obtained indicate that NGF interaction with PC12 cells induces changes in the adenylate cyclase system and this process involves G-proteins that regulate the adenylate cyclase activity.  相似文献

Human platelet adenylate cyclase is stimulated by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and is inhibited by epinephrine via alpha-adrenoceptors. Both agonists, epinephrine more than PGE1, increase the activity of a low Km GTPase in platelet membranes. Pretreatment of intact platelets or platelet membranes with the sulfhydryl reagent, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), abolished the inhibition of the adenylate cyclase and the concomitant stimulation of the GTPase by epinephrine. In contrast, stimulation of the adenylate cyclase by PGE1 was not affected or even increased by NEM pretreatment; only at high NEM concentrations were both basal and PGE1-stimulated activities decreased. Similarly, the PGE1-induced activation of the low Km GTPase was not or was only partially reduced by NEM. Adenylate cyclase activation by stable GTP analogs, NaF, and cholera toxin was also not decreased by NEM pretreatment. Exposure of intact platelets to NEM did not reduce alpha-adrenoceptor number and affinities for agonists and antagonists, as determined by [3H]yohimbine binding in platelet particles. The data indicate that NEM uncouples alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated inhibition of platelet adenylate cyclase, leaving the receptor recognition site and the adenylate cyclase itself relatively intact. Although the effect of NEM may be based on a reaction with the alpha-adrenoceptor site interacting with a coupling component, the selective loss of the adenylate cyclase inhibition together with an even increased stimulation of the enzyme by PGE1 suggests that there are two at least partially distinct regulatory sites involved in opposing hormonal regulations of adenylate cyclase activity, with that involved in hormonal inhibition being highly susceptible to inactivation by NEM.  相似文献

A chemotactic peptide stimulated the high-affinity GTPase activity in membrane preparations from guinea pig neutrophils. The enzyme stimulation was inhibited by prior exposure of the membrane-donor cells to islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, or by direct incubation of the membrane preparations with its A-protomer (the active peptide) in the presence of NAD. The affinity for the chemotactic peptide binding to its receptors was lowered by guanyl-5'-yl beta, gamma-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) reflecting its coupling to the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in neutrophils. The affinity in the absence of Gpp(NH)p was lower, but the affinity in its presence was not, in the A-protomer-treated membranes than in nontreated membranes. The inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein of adenylate cyclase (Ni) was purified from rat brain, and reconstituted into the membranes from IAP-treated cells. The reconstitution was very effective in increasing formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-dependent GTPase activity and increasing the chemotactic peptide binding to membranes due to affinity increase. The half-maximal concentration of IAP to inhibit GTPase activity was comparable to that of the toxin to inhibit the cellular arachidonate-releasing response which was well correlated with ADP-ribosylation of a membrane Mr = 41,000 protein (Okajima, F., and Ui, M. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 13863-13871). It is proposed that the IAP substrate, Ni, couples to the chemotactic peptide receptor and mediates arachidonate-releasing responses in neutrophils, as it mediates adenylate cyclase inhibition in many other cell types.  相似文献

The rat myenteric plexus was used as a peripheral model for studying muscarinic modulation of acetylcholine (ACh) release from presynaptic muscarinic neurons during development of tolerance to the anticholinesterase agent, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). DFP in arachis oil was administered subcutaneously to intact animals according to both acute and chronic regimens, with arachis oil injections serving as controls. Post-mortem analyses showed that the mean AChE activity level in whole brain was reduced under all DFP conditions to 18.0 +/- 1.4% when compared with the control level. After 10 days of DFP treatment, the AChE level was 22.3 +/- 2.1% of control in the myenteric plexus. There were no significant differences among the treatment groups in resting ACh release. Release evoked by electrical stimulation (difference between stimulated and resting release) in the absence of atropine, i.e., "basal rate," for strips taken at various times after a single injection of DFP did not differ from that for strips from animals receiving arachis oil only. However, basal release for strips from chronically treated subjects was significantly greater than that of controls (p less than 10(-3), although not different from each other. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures showed that there existed a highly significant atropine dependency in strips from all treatments when they were stimulated in concentrations of atropine from 10(-9) to 10(-5) M (p less than 10(-10). Further analyses established that the increases in rates of evoked ACh release as concentrations of atropine increased were similar for strips from chronically treated DFP and arachis oil animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The effects of Al3+ and F- on the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase cycle were studied by using reconstituted phospholipid vesicles that contained purified beta-adrenergic receptor and the stimulatory GTP-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase system, Gs. Al3+/F- activated reconstituted Gs to levels previously reported for detergent-solubilized, purified Gs, although both activation and deactivation were faster in the reconstituted preparation. Under these conditions, Al3+/F- did not inhibit by more than 15% the beta-adrenergic agonist-stimulated GTPase activity of the vesicles nor did it significantly inhibit the rates of GTP binding, GTP hydrolysis, or GDP release. When Mg2+ (50 mM) was used instead of agonist to promote GTP hydrolysis in the receptor-Gs vesicles, Al3+/F- was found to inhibit GTP gamma S binding, GDP release, and steady-state GTPase activity to unstimulated levels. These data can be interpreted as indicating that the receptor catalyzes nucleotide exchange by Gs faster or more efficiently than does Mg2+.  相似文献

The effect of muscarinic agonist on adenylate cyclase was investigated in neonatal islet cells and in a clonal pituitary cell line (GH4C1) following labelling of the intracellular ATP pool with [2,8 3H]adenine. In islet cells carbamylcholine was without effect on basal or glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, measured as 3H cyclic AMP production, but inhibited 3H cyclic AMP production in the clonal pituitary cells. The involvement of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Ni) was investigated by the use of the Bordetella pertussis exotoxin, islet activating protein (IAP). Pre-treatment of islet cells with IAP was without effect on adenylate cyclase following carbamylcholine but in the clonal pituitary line abolished the inhibition of 3H cyclic AMP production. It is concluded that in the islet cell, in contrast to the clonal pituitary cell, muscarinic receptors are not effectively coupled through Ni to inhibit adenylate cyclase.  相似文献
