In a recent paper we described a system in which glucocorticoid receptors associate with particulate complexes containing tubulin [Cancer Res. 49 (1989) 2222s–2229s]. When L cell cytosol is mixed with a microtubule stabilizing buffer and heated to 37°C, the receptor becomes associated with a complex that can be centrifuged out of solution at 150,000 g. In this work we show that the glucocorticoid receptor—cytoskeletal protein complex forms in a temperature and glutamate-dependent manner. Molybdate does not affect generation of the cytoskeletal protein complex but it inhibits association of the receptor with the complex. This suggests that transformation of the receptor to its DNA-binding form is required for interaction with the cytoskeletal complex. Colchicine has no effect on generation of the particulate complex or on the association of receptor with it, suggesting that formation of the complex does not represent a classic in vitro process of tubulin polymerization.  相似文献

Two phosphoproteins are adsorbed to protein-A-Sepharose when cytosol from 32P-labeled L-cells is incubated with a monoclonal antibody against the glucocorticoid receptor: one is a 98-100-kDa phosphoprotein that contains the steroid-binding site and the other is a 90-kDa nonsteroid-binding phosphoprotein that is associated with the untransformed, molybdate-stabilized receptor (Housley, P. R., Sanchez, E. R., Westphal, H.M., Beato, M., and Pratt, W.B. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, in press). In this paper we show that the 90-kDa receptor-associated phosphoprotein is an abundant cytosolic protein that reacts with a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the 90-kDa phosphoprotein that binds steroid receptors in the chicken oviduct. The 90-kDa protein immunoadsorbed from L-cell cytosol with this antibody reacts on Western blots with rabbit antiserum prepared against the 89-kDa chicken heat shock protein. Immunoadsorption of molybdate-stabilized cytosol by antibodies against the glucocorticoid receptor results in the presence of a 90-kDa protein that interacts on Western blots with the antiserum against the chicken heat shock protein. The association between the 90-kDa protein and the receptor is only seen by this technique when molybdate is present to stabilize the complex; and when steroid-bound receptors are incubated at 25 degrees C to transform them to the DNA-binding state, the 90-kDa protein dissociates. These observations are consistent with the proposal that the untransformed glucocorticoid receptor in L-cells exists in a complex with the murine 90-kDa heat shock protein.  相似文献

Glucocorticoid receptors were isolated by immunoadsorption from cytosol of L cells that were cultured for 18 h in the presence of [32P]orthophosphate, and the phosphorylation state of the receptor was examined before and after transformation to the DNA-binding state. Temperature-mediated transformation of the glucocorticoid receptor under cell-free conditions results in no change in receptor size or degree of phosphorylation. When cytosol containing transformed receptors is incubated with DNA-cellulose, 30-50% of the receptors are able to bind to DNA and the remainder do not bind to DNA. Both the heated receptors that bind to DNA and the receptors that do not bind to DNA are phosphorylated to the same degree. When intact cells containing 32P-labeled receptors are incubated for 2 h at 0 degree C with triamcinolone acetonide and then for 20 min at 37 degrees C in the presence of the hormone, 80% of the receptor becomes tightly associated with the nucleus in a manner that is both temperature-dependent and ligand-dependent. Approximately 80% of the nuclear-bound receptor is extracted with 0.4 M NaCl. Both the cytosolic receptor from cells incubated at 0 degree C and the salt-extracted nuclear receptor from cells incubated at 37 degrees C have been resolved by immunoadsorption to protein A-Sepharose with the BuGR1 monoclonal antibody and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by immunoblotting and autoradiography of the immunoblots. In addition, direct measurements of the amounts of 32P contained per unit of receptor protein were performed for receptors transformed both in the intact cell and in cell-free lysates. The results demonstrate that the untransformed receptor and the nuclear-bound transformed receptor are labeled with 32P to the same extent.  相似文献

Treatment of intact GH1 cells with sodium molybdate inhibits the subsequent rate of nuclear accumulation of hormone-occupied glucocorticoid and estrogen receptors. Cells were incubated at 23 degrees C for 1 h with 30 mM molybdate and then for up to 30 min with [3H]triamcinolone acetonide or [3H]estradiol in the continued presence of molybdate. Although molybdate did not affect the rate of receptor occupancy with either steroid, cells treated with molybdate had more occupied cytosolic and fewer occupied nuclear receptors than control cells. For the glucocorticoid receptor, cells treated with molybdate had more 10 S and fewer 4 S cytosolic receptors than control cells. In low salt cytosol molybdate inhibits the temperature-mediated subunit dissociation of occupied 10 S glucocorticoid receptor. These results suggest that a hormone-mediated dissociation of an intracellular 10 S oligomeric glucocorticoid receptor form to its 4 S subunits is required prior to accumulation of occupied receptors in the nuclear fraction. In cells incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h or longer with [3H]triamcinolone acetonide, molybdate shifts the steady state intracellular distribution of receptor toward the 10 S cytosolic receptor form, consistent with the interpretation that molybdate affects the rapidly exchanging subunit equilibrium between the 10 S and 4 S cytosolic forms by slowing the rate of 10 S receptor dissociation. Molybdate prevents loss of glucocorticoid-occupied 10 S but not 4 S receptors in heated cytosol by stabilizing the relatively protease-resistant 10 S receptor. Since molybdate stabilizes 10 S oligomeric steroid receptors in vitro, the effects of molybdate on nuclear accumulation of occupied receptors in intact cells support the intracellular existence and physiological relevance of 10 S glucocorticoid and estrogen receptors. These results support a general model for steroid receptor activation in which binding of hormone promotes dissociation of intracellular 8-10 S oligomeric receptors to their DNA-binding subunits.  相似文献

Cytosol preparations contain an endogenous heat-stable factor which stabilizes the glucocorticoid receptor in its untransformed, non DNA-binding form. Elution of a partially purified preparation of this stabilizing factor through a metal chelating resin (Chelex-100) leads to the loss of its ability to inhibit temperature-mediated transformation of the receptor. Sodium molybdate mimicks the ability of this endogenous metal to stabilize the untransformed receptor, and it too is adsorbed by Chelex resin. When an L-cell cytosol preparation containing the glucocorticoid receptor is passed through a column of Chelex-100 resin and then incubated at 15 degrees C, the receptor is rapidly transformed to the DNA-binding state, regardless of whether it is steroid-bound or not. In contrast, whole cytosol containing endogenous metals is transformed to the DNA-binding state only when the receptor is both steroid-bound and exposed to elevated temperature. these data suggest that a metal (or metals) may be involved in conferring the property of ligand-dependency to the transformation process.  相似文献

The inactivation of glucocorticoid receptors that occurs when cytosol is heated at 25 degrees C is blocked reversibly by molybdate and slowed by some other phosphatase inhibitors such as fluoride and glucose 1-phosphate. Molybdate is also capable of preventing nonenzymatic inactivation of unbound receptors caused by exposure to salt or precipitation with ammonium sulfate at 0 degrees C. Inactivation of unbound receptors caused by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration is prevented by all three inhibitors. Both molybdate and tungstate block temperature-dependent transformation of glucocorticoid.receptor complexes to the DNA-binding state, where fluoride and glucose 1-phosphate have no effect. Transformation brought about at 0 degrees C by salt, ammonium sulfate precipitation, or gel filtration is also blocked by both molybdate and tungstate. Tungstate differs from molybdate in that it has little or no effect on receptor inactivation. Fluoride and glucose 1-phosphate do not inhibit transformation. These observations support the proposal that molybdate and tungstate are interacting through a reversible association with the glucocorticoid receptor itself. We propose that they may act by forming a complex with a phosphate moiety on the receptor.  相似文献

Treatment of rat liver cytosol containing temperature-transformed [3H]dexamethasone-bound receptors at 0 degree C with the sulfhydryl modifying reagent methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) inhibits the DNA-binding activity of the receptor, and DNA-binding activity is restored after addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). However, transformed receptors that are treated with MMTS and then separated from low Mr components of cytosol by passage through a column of Sephadex G-50 have very little DNA-binding activity when DTT is added to regenerate sulfhydryl moities. The receptors will bind to DNA if whole liver cytosol or boiled liver cytosol is added in addition to DTT. The effect of boiled cytosol is mimicked by purified rat thioredoxin or bovine RNase A in a manner that does not reflect the reducing activity of the former or the catalytic activity of the latter. This suggests that the reported ability of each of these heat-stable peptides to stimulate DNA binding by glucocorticoid receptors is not a biologically relevant action. We suggest that stimulation of DNA binding of partially purified receptors by boiled cytosol does not constitute a reconstitution of a complete cytosolic system in which the dissociated receptor must associate with a specific heat-stable accessory protein required for DNA binding, as has been suggested in the "two-step" model of receptor transformation recently proposed by Schmidt et al. (Schmidt T.J., Miller-Diener, A., Webb M.L. and Litwack G. (1985) J. biol. Chem. 260, 16255-16262).  相似文献

Glucocorticoid receptor phosphorylation in mouse L-cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
This paper summarizes our observations on the phosphorylation state of untransformed and transformed glucocorticoid receptors isolated from 32P-labeled L-cells. The 300-350-kDa 9S untransformed murine glucocorticoid receptor complex is composed of a 100-kDa steroid-binding phosphoprotein and one or possibly two units of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp90), which is also a phosphoprotein. Transformation of this complex to the 4S DNA-binding state is accompanied by dissociation of hsp90. When receptors in cytosol are transformed by heating at 25 degrees C, there is no gross change in the degree of phosphorylation of the steroid-binding protein. Both receptors that are bound to DNA after transformation under cell-free conditions and receptors that are located in the nucleus of cells incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of glucocorticoid are labeled with 32P. The results of experiments in which the 32P-labeled receptor was submitted to limited proteolysis suggest that the 16-kDa DNA-binding domain is phosphorylated and that the 28-kDa steroid-binding domain is not.  相似文献

The glucocorticoid antagonist 17 alpha-methyltestosterone inhibits binding of the agonist [3H]triamcinolone acetonide ot the glocucorticoid receptor in cytosol prepared from rat pituitary tumor GH1 cells. Competitive binding studies indicate that the dissociation constant for 17 alpha-methyltestosterone is about 1 microM. After incubation of intact GH1 cells with 10 nM [3H]triamcinolone acetonide at 37 C and subsequent cell fractionation at 4 C, three glucocorticoid receptor forms are observed: cytosolic 10 S receptor, cytosolic 4 S receptor, and nuclear receptor. Concurrent incubation with 17 alpha-methyltestosterone reduces the amount of [3H]triamcinolone acetonide bound to each of these receptor forms. Ligand-exchange assays performed at 0 C in intact cells using [3H]triamcinolone acetonide show that the exchangeable antagonist is associated predominantly with cytosolic 10 S receptor. Immunochemical analysis using monoclonal antibody BuGR2 indicates that 17 alpha-methyltestosterone does not cause substantial accumulation of glucocorticoid receptors in GH1 cell nuclei and, when present together with agonist, reduces nuclear accumulation of receptor seen with agonist alone. Results from dense amino acid labeling studies show that unlike [3H]triamcinolone acetonide, 17 alpha-methyltestosterone does not reduce the total amount of cellular glucocorticoid receptor and does not reduce receptor half-life. These results are consistent with a model for glucocorticoid receptor transformation in which binding of agonist promotes the dissociation of an oligomeric 10 S cytosolic receptor protein to its DNA-binding 4 S subunit. The antagonist 17 alpha-methyltestosterone competes with agonist for binding to the 10 S cytosolic receptor but does not appear to promote dissociation of the oligomer, thus inhibiting agonist-mediated nuclear actions of the glucocorticoid receptor.  相似文献

Glucocorticoid receptors in the IM-9 human lymphoblastoid cell line were affinity labeled with [3H]dexamethasone 21-mesylate and activated to a DNA-binding form by filtration through a Bio-Gel A-1.5m column. The 90 kDa heat shock protein, HSP90, was identified by labeling IM-9 cells with 35S-methionine at both 37 degrees C and 42 degrees C and purified to near homogeneity by sequential chromatography through DE52 and hydroxyapatite. Addition of purified HSP90 to activated, affinity labeled glucocorticoid receptors in a molecular ratio of 16 to 1 inhibited the binding of the receptors to DNA-cellulose. HSP90 did not affect the binding of other proteins to DNA-cellulose, indicating that the inhibitory effect of HSP90 was specific for the glucocorticoid receptor. These results suggest that HSP90 may associate with the glucocorticoid receptor, masking its DNA-binding site and thereby inhibiting receptor interaction with DNA.  相似文献

Treatment of rat liver cytosol containing temperature-transformed, [3H]dexamethasone-bound receptors at 0 degree C with the sulfhydryl-modifying reagent methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) inhibits the DNA-binding activity of the receptor, and DNA-binding activity is restored after addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). When cytosol containing untransformed receptors is heated at 25 degrees C in the presence of MMTS, the 90-kDa heat shock protein dissociates from the receptor in the same manner as in the absence of MMTS, and the receptor will bind to DNA-cellulose if DTT is added subsequently at 0 degree C. These observations are consistent with the conclusion of Bodwell et al. (Bodwell, J. E., Holbrook. N. J. and Munck, A. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 1392-1398) that sulfhydryl moieties on the receptor are absolutely required for the receptor to bind to DNA, and they show that the sulfhydryl-modifying reagent does not inhibit the temperature-mediated dissociation of the heteromeric receptor complex that accompanies transformation to the DNA-binding state. When steroid-receptor complexes that are prebound to DNA-cellulose are exposed to MMTS, the steroid rapidly dissociates, but the receptor remains bound to DNA. Thus, the presence of steroid is not required for the receptor to remain bound to DNA in a high affinity manner. Treatment of cytosol containing transformed glucocorticoid-receptor complexes at 0 degrees C with 20 mM hydrogen peroxide also inactivates the DNA-binding activity of the receptor. The peroxide-induced inactivation is reversed by DTT. Incubation of rat liver cytosol containing untransformed glucocorticoid-receptor complexes at 25 degrees C with hydrogen peroxide prevents their transformation to the DNA-binding form as shown by their inability to bind to DNA-cellulose after addition of DTT. The presence of peroxide during heating of the cytosol also prevents dissociation of the receptor complex as assayed both by reduction in sedimentation value of the receptor and by dissociation of the 90-kDa heat shock protein from the steroid-binding protein. These results strongly suggest that critical sulfur moieties in the receptor complex must be in a reduced form for the temperature-mediated dissociation of the receptor to occur.  相似文献

Cytosols contain a heat-stable, chelatable, anionic, molybdate-like factor that stabilizes glucocorticoid receptors in a heteromeric complex with hsp90 (refers to the 90-kDa heat shock protein) and inhibits their transformation to the DNA-binding state (Meshinchi, S., Grippo, J.F., Sanchez, E.R., Bresnick, E.H., and Pratt, W.B. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 16809-16817). In this work, we demonstrate that removal of this factor by passage of L cell cytosol through the metal-chelating resin Chelex-100 makes the glucocorticoid receptor unstable, thus markedly facilitating both its dissociation from hsp90 and its transformation to the DNA-binding state. In normal cytosol, both temperature-mediated dissociation of hsp90 and temperature-mediated receptor transformation are hormone-dependent events. In the Chelex-treated, metal-depleted cytosol, however, temperature-mediated dissociation of hsp90 and receptor transformation occur very rapidly in a manner that is no longer hormone-dependent. When boiled L cell cytosol is added to the metal-depleted receptor system, the hormone dependence of both temperature-mediated dissociation of receptor from hsp90 and receptor transformation to the DNA-binding state is reconstituted. Like boiled cytosol, molybdate stabilizes the receptor complex and inhibits its transformation in metal-depleted cytosol, but it does not reconstitute the hormone dependence of the system. These results support the proposal that an endogenous metal anion interacts with the glucocorticoid receptor to stabilize it in the heteromeric, inactive, non-DNA-binding state in cytosol and that binding of the hormone promotes conversion of the receptor to the DNA-binding state through an effect on this metal anion center.  相似文献

Neoplastic epithelial duct cell line from human salivary gland (HSG cell line) contains the specific glucocorticoid receptor. The time course study on the uptake of [3H]triamcinolone acetonide (TA), a synthetic glucocorticoid, by intact HSG cells in a growing monolayer culture showed that translocation of glucocorticoid receptors into nuclei occurred at 37 degrees C, but not at 0 degrees C. To elucidate the subcellular distribution of glucocorticoid receptor from HSG cells, a scaled-up-culture was employed. When the cells were incubated with [3H]TA at 0 degrees C, 94% of the receptors were found in the cytosol fraction, while only 6% of the receptors existed in the nuclei. When the cells were incubated at 37 degrees C, 49% of the receptor complexes were distributed in the nuclei and 74% of these nuclear receptor complexes were extractable with 5 mM pyridoxal phosphate.  相似文献

Effects of sodium tungstate on various properties of rat liver glucocorticoid receptor were examined at pH7 and pH 8. At pH 7, [3H]triamcinolone acetonide binding in rat liver cytosol preparations was completely blocked in the presence of 10--20 mM-sodium tungstate at 4 degrees C, whereas at 37 degrees C a 30 min incubation of cytosol receptor preparation with 1 mM-sodium tungstate reduced the loss of unoccupied receptor by 50%. At pH 8.0, tungstate presence during the 37 degrees C incubation maintained the steroid-binding capacity of unoccupied glucocorticoid receptor at control (4 degrees C) levels. In addition, heat-activation of cytosolic glucocorticoid-receptor complex was blocked by 1 mM- and 10 mM-sodium tungstate at pH 7 and pH 8 respectively. The DNA-cellulose binding by activated receptor was also inhibited completely and irreversibly by 5 mM-tungstate at pH 7, whereas at pH 8 no significant effect was observed with up to 20 mM-tungstate. The entire DNA-cellulose-bound glucocorticoid-receptor complex from control samples could be extracted by incubation with 1 mM- and 20 mM-tungstate at pH 7 and pH 8 respectively, and appeared to sediment as a 4.3--4.6 S molecule, both in 0.01 M- and 0.3 M-KCl-containing sucrose gradients. Tungstate effects are, therefore, pH-dependent and appear to involve an interaction with both the non-activated and the activated forms of the glucocorticoid receptor.  相似文献

Treatment of rat liver cytosol with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or sodium molybdate (MoO4(2-)) inhibits thermal inactivation of glucocorticoid receptor steroid-binding capacity at 25 degrees C. Dithiothreitol (DTT) prevents the stabilization of receptors by H2O2. Heating (25 degrees C) of immune pellets formed by immunoadsorption of L-cell murine glucocorticoid receptor complexes to protein-A-Sepharose with an anti-receptor monoclonal antibody (BuGR2) results in dissociation of the M 90,000 heat shock protein (hsp90) from the steroid binding protein. Such thermal-induced dissociation of hsp90 is inhibited by H2O2. Pretreatment of immunoadsorbed receptor complexes with the thiol derivatizing agent, methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) prevents the ability of H2O2 to stabilize the hsp90-receptor interaction. These data suggest a role for hsp90 in maintaining an active steroid-binding conformation of the glucocorticoid receptor.  相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide and diamide inactivate the steroid-binding capacity of unoccupied glucocorticoid receptors in rat liver cytosol at 0 degrees C, and steroid-binding capacity is reactivated with dithiothreitol. Treatment of cytosol with peroxide or sodium molybdate, but not diamide, inhibits the irreversible inactivation (i.e., inactivation not reversed by dithiothreitol) of steroid-binding capacity that occurs when cytosol is incubated at 25 degrees C. Pretreatment of cytosol with the thiol derivatizing agent methyl methanethiosulfonate at 0 degrees C prevents the ability of peroxide, but not molybdate, to stabilize binding capacity at 25 degrees C. As derivatization of thiol groups prevents peroxide stabilization of steroid-binding capacity and as treatment with dithiothreitol reverses the effect, we propose that peroxide acts by promoting the formation of new disulfide linkages. The receptor in our rat liver cytosol preparations is present as three major degradation products of Mr 40,000, 52,000, and 72,000 in addition to the Mr 94,000 intact receptor. Like the intact receptor, these three forms exist in the presence of molybdate as an 8-9S complex, they bind glucocorticoid in a specific manner, and they copurify with the intact Mr 94,000 receptor on sequential phosphocellulose and DNA-cellulose chromatography. Despite the existence of receptor cleavage products, it is clear that peroxide does not stabilize steroid-binding capacity by inhibiting receptor cleavage.  相似文献

Boiled cytosols prepared from a wide variety of sources contain a low Mr factor that inhibits glucocorticoid receptor transformation to the DNA-binding state (Leach, K.L., Grippo, J.F., Housley, P.R., Dahmer, M.K., Salive, M.E., and Pratt, W.B. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 381-388). In this work, we show that this endogenous factor, which is partially purified from rat liver, produces all of the effects of the group VI-A transition metal oxyanions molybdate and vanadate on the structure and function of glucocorticoid receptors in cytosol preparations. Like molybdate, the endogenous factor behaves as a strong anion with an apparent Mr of 340 on Bio-Gel P-2, and it binds to both hydroxylapatite and Chelex 100 resins. The receptor stabilizing activity of the factor is completely stable to heating at 320 degrees C for 1 h. The small size, profound heat stability, and absorption by a metal chelating resin strongly suggest that the factor is an endogenous metal anion. As reduction of the concentration of the factor in cytosol promotes generation of the DNA-binding form of the receptor, we suggest that this endogenous metal anion interacts with the receptor to stabilize the 9 S complex and maintain the receptor in its untransformed, non-DNA-binding state. We propose that molybdate and vanadate may exert their effects on the untransformed receptor by interacting with the binding site for the endogenous metal anion.  相似文献

Several properties of human glucocorticoid receptors complexed to the synthetic glucocorticoid agonists dexamethasone (DEX) and triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and the antagonist dexamethasone 21-mesylate (DM) are compared in an attempt to define the mode of action of DM. Both DEX and TA induce an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity in HeLa S3 cells. Not only is DM without effect on alkaline phosphatase activity at concentrations as great as 10(-7) M, it blocks the action of DEX and TA on enzyme induction, thus acting as a pure antagonist in this system. DM-receptor complexes, like agonist-receptor complexes, are recovered in the cytosol when cells are incubated with ligand at 0 degrees C but are recovered from the nucleus when incubation is shifted to 37 degrees C, suggesting that activation of the antagonist-receptor complex occurs in vivo. The molecular species that undergoes this temperature-dependent shift from the cytosolic compartment to the nuclear compartment exhibits saturable binding to the antagonist. Both the cytosolic and nuclear species exhibit a relative molecular mass of approximately equal to 94,000 Daltons when analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Receptors labeled in intact cells with [3H]DM at 0 degrees C sediment at approximately 8S in sucrose gradients, shifting to 4S when the gradients contain 0.4 M KCl. DEX- and TA-labeled receptors show the same sedimentation behavior, which has been accepted as one criterion of receptor subunit dissociation, or activation.  相似文献
