Nucleosidediphosphate (NDP)-kinase-associated proteins from rIL-2-treated mouse NK cells have been biochemically characterized. The associated proteins could be separated from partially purified NDP-kinases by the 5-25% glycerol density gradient centrifugation method after treatment with 6 M urea in the presence of 1 mM EDTA. The associated proteins (approx. Mr 20,000) were defined as GTP binding proteins, since only [alpha-32P]GTP was bound to these proteins in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ at 37 degrees C. We also found that these GTP binding proteins hydrolyzed only GTP in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+. The data presented here for: GTP specific binding activity; GTPase activity; and molecular size (approx. Mr 20,000) of the NDP-kinase-associated GTP binding proteins are similar to those reported for ras oncogene products (p21 proteins).  相似文献

The physiological correlation between nucleoside-diphosphate kinases (NDP-kinases) and the 21-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G1 and G2) which are copurified with the enzymes from the cell membrane fractions of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been biochemically investigated in vitro. We found that: incubation of the phosphoenzyme (enzyme-bound high-energy phosphate intermediate) of NDP-kinases (F-I and F-II) with one of the nucleoside 5'-diphosphates in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ or 0.25 mM Ca2+ results in the rapid formation of nucleoside 5'-triphosphates without strict base specificity; GDP on the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G1, G2 and recombinant v-rasH p21) acts as a phosphate acceptor for the high-energy phosphates of the phosphoenzyme in the presence of 0.25 mM Ca2+; and [32P]GTP is preferentially formed from the 32P-labelled phosphoenzyme F-I and GDP-bound G1 or GDP-bound recombinant v-rasH p21 protein, even if any other nucleoside 5'-diphosphates are present in the reaction mixture. Although [32P]GTP formed was bound with the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, it was immediately hydrolyzed by the proteins themselves in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+, but not in the presence of 0.25 mM Ca2+. Available evidence suggests that NDP-kinase may be responsible for the activation of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G1, G2 and p21 proteins) through phosphate transfer by the enzyme.  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

Activation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors stimulates inositol phosphate production in rat hepatocytes via a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism, suggesting the involvement of a G protein in the process. Since the first event after receptor-G protein interaction is exchange of GTP for GDP on the G protein, the effect of EGF was measured on the initial rates of guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thiotriphosphate) [( 35S]GTP gamma S) association and [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation in rat hepatocyte membranes. The initial rate of [35S]GTP gamma S binding was stimulated by EGF, with a maximal effect observed at 8 nM EGF. EGF also increased the initial rate of [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation. The effect of EGF on [35S]GTP gamma S association was blocked by boiling the peptide for 5 min in 5 mM dithiothreitol or by incubation of the membranes with guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S). EGF-stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S binding was completely abolished in hepatocyte membranes prepared from pertussis toxin-treated rats and was inhibited in hepatocyte membranes that were treated directly with the resolved A-subunit of pertussis toxin. The amount of guanine nucleotide binding affected by occupation of the EGF receptor was approximately 6 pmol/mg of membrane protein. Occupation of angiotensin II receptors, which are known to couple to G proteins in hepatic membranes, also stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S association with and [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation from the membranes. The effect of angiotensin II on [alpha-32P]GDP dissociation was blocked by the angiotensin II receptor antagonist [Sar1,Ile8]angiotensin II, demonstrating that the guanine nucleotide binding was receptor-mediated. In A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, EGF stimulates inositol lipid breakdown, but the effect is not blocked by treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin. In these cells, EGF had no effect on [35S]GTP gamma S binding. Occupation of the beta-adrenergic receptor in A431 cell membranes with isoproterenol did stimulate [35S] GTP gamma S binding, and the effect could be completely blocked by l-propranolol. These results support the concept that in hepatocyte membranes, EGF receptors interact with a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein via a mechanism similar to other hormone receptor-G protein interactions, but that in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, EGF may activate phospholipase C via different mechanisms.  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

The presence of specific guanine nucleotide-binding proteins in a zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) hypocotyl microsomal fraction was investigated. Polypeptides were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose. Incubation of nitrocellulose blots with [alpha-32P]GTP and [gamma-32P]GTP indicated the presence of four specific and distinct GTP-binding proteins with molecular masses of approx. 23.4 kDa, 24.8 kDa, 26.6 kDa and 28.5 kDa. Binding of [alpha-32P]GTP could be completely prevented by 30 microM GDP or 10 microM guanosine 5'[gamma-thio]triphosphate. This report presents evidence for the presence in a microsomal fraction from zucchini hypocotyls of Gn-proteins as defined by Bhullar and Haslam (1987) Biochem.J. 245, 617-620. The four plant proteins resemble animal Gn-proteins when molecular weights and GTP-binding specificities are considered.  相似文献

Several G-proteins (GTP-binding proteins) were identified by SDS/PAGE in the cytosol (105,000 g supernatant) and membrane fractions of the oestrogen-dependent human mammary-tumour cell line ZR-75-1. These proteins, with molecular masses in the range 18-29 kDa, specifically bind [alpha-32P]GTP, which can be displaced by unlabelled GTP, GDP and their non-hydrolysable analogues guanosine 5'-[delta-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]), but not by GMP, ATP, ADP, AMP and other unrelated nucleotides. The apparent dissociation constant for GTP was approx. 2 x 10(-8)M. Homogenization of ZR-75-1 cells in high-salt buffer (1 M-KCl), and successive washing of the membrane fraction, suggested that, among the major G-proteins found, the 18 kDa protein is predominantly soluble, whereas the 27-29 kDa complex is primarily bound to the membrane fraction under the experimental conditions employed. Possible translocation of these G-proteins between membrane and cytosol was analysed. No redistribution of the 27-29 kDa complex was observed, whereas GTP[S] in the presence of Mg2+ caused apparent translocation of the 18 kDa protein to the membrane fraction. This effect was specific for GTP and stable GTP analogues, whereas GDP, GMP, ATP, ADP, AMP and other unrelated nucleotides were ineffective. GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]-triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) were equally potent (apparent Kd approximately 5 x 10(-6)M), whereas GTP was rather weak. The nucleotide effect is temperature-, time- and concentration-dependent. The translocation process was reversible, slow, and reached its maximum between 30 and 60 min at 37 degrees C. The apparent translocation of this small G-protein from the cytosol to the membrane fraction, and the specific effect of GTP analogues, suggest that this process may have functional significance in mammary-tumour cells.  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

Receptor-mediated phosphorylation of spermatozoan proteins   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
These studies are the first to report egg peptide-mediated stimulation of protein phosphorylation in spermatozoa. Speract (Gly-Phe-Asp-Leu-Asn-Gly-Gly-Gly-Val-Gly) or resact (Cys-Val-Thr-Gly-Ala-Pro-Gly-Cys-Val-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Leu-NH2) stimulated the incorporation of 32P into various proteins of isolated spermatozoan membranes in the presence, but not absence, of GTP. The Mr of three of the phosphorylated proteins were 52,000, 75,000, and 100,000. GTP gamma S (guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate] but not GDP beta S (guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate] or GMP-PNP (guanylyl imidodiphosphate) also supported the peptide-mediated stimulation of protein phosphorylation. The peptides markedly stimulated guanylate cyclase activity, and GTP gamma S or GTP but not GMP-PNP served as effective substrates for the enzyme. The accumulation of cyclic AMP was not stimulated by the peptides. Subsequently, it was shown that added cyclic GMP or cyclic AMP increased 32P incorporation into the same membrane proteins as those observed in the presence of peptide and GTP. The amount of cyclic GMP (up to 3 microM) formed by membranes in the presence of peptide and 100 microM GTP equated with the amount of added cyclic GMP required to increase the 32P content of a Mr 75,000 protein selected for further study. 32P-Peptide maps of the Mr 75,000 protein indicated that the same domains were phosphorylated in response to cyclic nucleotides or to egg peptide and GTP. Intact cells were subsequently incubated with 32P to determine if the radiolabeled proteins observed in isolated membranes also would be obtained in intact cells. The 32P contents of proteins of Mr 52,000, 75,000, and 100,000 were significantly increased by the addition of resact. Peptide maps confirmed that the increased 32P incorporation obtained in a Mr 75,000 protein of isolated membranes occurred on the same protein domains as the 32P found on the Mr 75,000 protein of intact cells. These results suggest that a GTP or GTP gamma S requirement for peptide-mediated protein phosphorylation in spermatozoan membranes is mainly due to the enhanced formation of cyclic GMP, and it therefore is likely that peptide-induced elevations of cyclic nucleotide concentrations in spermatozoa are responsible for the specific increases in 32P associated with at least three sperm proteins, all apparently localized on the plasma membrane.  相似文献

To test the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the coupling of receptors to guanyl nucleotide binding reglatory proteins (G proteins) in transmembrane signaling, pertussis toxin (PTX)-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation was used to probe the guanyl nucleotide-binding proteins Gi and G(o) in brain membranes from four marine teleosts. These macrourids, Coryphaenoides pectoralis, Coryphaenoides cinereus, Coryphaenoides filifer and Coryphaenoides armatus, span depths from 200 to 5400 m. Pertussis toxin specifically labelled proteins of 39-41 kDa. The PTX-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation reaction was linear for 7 h. Added guanyl nucleotides (guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)(GTP[S])) at concentrations up to 1000 microM did not affect ribosylation at atmospheric pressure. Under basal conditions the Gi/G(o) protein population appears to be uncoupled from receptors and bound with GDP. Pressures up to 476 atm were tested in the absence and presence of added guanyl nucleotides, 100 microM GDP and 100 microM GTP[S]. [32P]ADP-ribosylation in brain membranes from the deeper-occurring C. cinereus, C. filifer and C. armatus was not inhibited by increased pressure in the presence of 100 microM GDP. Increasing pressure decreased ribosylation in brain membranes of C. pectoralis. In the presence of 100 microM GTP[S], increased pressure inhibited ribosylation in all species. Pressure appears to enhance the efficacy of GTP[S] in dissociating the heterotrimeric holoprotein.  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

The physiological correlation between NDP-kinase and the enzyme-associated guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G1 and G2) has been studied in vitro. It was found that incubation of the phosphoenzyme (enzyme-bound high-energy phosphate intermediate) of NDP-kinases with one of the nucleoside 5'-diphosphates (NDPs) in the presence of divalent cations (Mg2+ and Ca2+) results in the formation of nucleoside 5'-triphosphates (NTPs) within 40 sec even at low temperatures (below 4 degrees C) without strict base-specificity; and high-energy phosphates on the phosphoenzyme can transfer preferentially to GDP on the guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G1, G2 and r-p21 protein) in the presence of 0.25 mM Ca2+ or 1 mM Mg2+ even if any other NDPs are present in the reaction mixtures. These observations suggest that NDP-kinase may be responsible for the phosphate-transfer between GDP on the guanine nucleotide binding proteins and its phosphoenzyme.  相似文献

As a first step in determining the molecular mechanism of membrane fusion stimulated by GTP in rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), we have looked for GTP-binding proteins. Rough microsomes from rat liver were treated for the release of ribosomes, and the membrane proteins were separated by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The polypeptides were then blotted on to nitrocellulose sheets and incubated with [alpha-32P]GTP [Bhullar & Haslam (1987) Biochem. J. 245, 617-620]. A doublet of polypeptides (23 and 24 kDa) was detected in the presence of 2 microM-MgCl2. Binding of [alpha-32P]GTP was blocked by 1-5 mM-EDTA, 10-10,000 nM-GTP or 10 microM-GDP. Either guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate or guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate at 100 nM completely inhibited binding, but ATP, CTP or UTP at 10 mciroM did not. Pretreatment of microsomes by mild trypsin treatment (0.5-10 micrograms of trypsin/ml, concentrations known not to affect microsomal permeability) led to inhibition of [alpha-32P]GTP binding, suggesting a cytosolic membrane orientation for the GTP-binding proteins. Two-dimensional gel-electrophoretic analysis revealed the 23 and 24 kDa [alpha-32P]GTP-binding proteins to have similar acid isoelectric points. [alpha-32P]GTP binding occurred to similar proteins of rough microsomes from rat liver, rat prostate and dog pancreas, as well as to a 23 kDa protein of rough microsomes from frog liver, but occurred to distinctly different proteins in a rat liver plasma-membrane-enriched fraction. Thus [alpha-32P]GTP binding has been demonstrated to two low-molecular-mass (approx. 21 kDa) proteins in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of several varied cell types.  相似文献

The receptor-mediated inhibition of intrinsic activities of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) was studied. Pertussis toxin (IAP)-substrate G-protein, Gi1, Gi2 or G0, was prelabeled with [alpha-32P]GDP and reconstituted with synaptic membranes of the guinea pig cerebellum in the presence of 0.02% of Chaps. Intrinsic activities of G-proteins were evaluated by the release of [alpha-32P]GDP in exchange for added GppNHp or GDP in reconstituted preparations. U-50,488H (1 nM-10 microM), a specific kappa-subtype of opioid receptor agonist, inhibited the [alpha-32P]GDP release in exchange for added 1 microM GppNHp in Gi1-reconstituted preparations in a concentration-dependent manner. On the other hand, the kappa-opioid agonist at 10 microM increases the Km values of GppNHp, but not GDP in exchange for [alpha-32P]GDP release in preparations reconstituted with Gi1 or Gi2, but not with G0. These findings indicate that kappa-opioid receptor is coupled to inhibition of intrinsic activities of Gi1 and Gi2, but not G0, in guinea pig cerebellar membranes. In addition, it was revealed that the mode of action is mediated by a decrease in affinity of GTP (or its analog) for G proteins, but not by a change in affinity of GDP.  相似文献

In the present studies, we attempted to purify the native molecular forms of the c-ras proteins (c-ras p21s) from bovine brain crude membranes and separated at least three GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) cross-reactive with the antibody recognizing all of Ha-, Ki-, and N-ras p21s. Among them, one G protein with a Mr of about 21,000 was highly purified and characterized. The Mr 21,000 G protein bound maximally about 0.6 mol of [35S]guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S)/mol of protein with a Kd value of about 30 nM. [35S]GTP gamma S-binding to Mr 21,000 G protein was inhibited by GTP and GDP, but not by other nucleotides such as ATP, UTP, and CTP. [35S]GTP gamma S-binding to Mr 21,000 G protein was inhibited by pretreatment with N-ethylmaleimide. Mr 21,000 G protein hydrolyzed GTP to liberate Pi with a turnover number of about 0.01 min-1. Mr 21,000 G protein was not copurified with the beta gamma subunits of the G proteins regulatory for adenylate cyclase. Mr 21,000 G protein was not recognized by the antibody against the ADP-ribosylation factor for Gs. The peptide map of Mr 21,000 G protein was different from those of the G proteins with Mr values of 25,000 and 20,000, designated as smg p25A and rho p20, respectively, which we have recently purified from bovine brain crude membranes. The partial amino acid sequence of Mr 21,000 G protein was identical with that of human c-Ki-ras 2B p21. These results indicate that Mr 21,000 G protein is bovine brain c-Ki-ras 2B p21 and that c-Ki-ras 2B p21 is present in bovine brain membranes.  相似文献

The native pertussis toxin sensitive GTP-binding proteins (Gi proteins) were individually resolved, and their guanine nucleotide binding and release properties were studied. Gi2 and Gi3, the two major GTP-binding proteins of human erythrocytes, were purified to apparent homogeneity by fast protein liquid chromatography. Gi1 was purified from bovine brain. The three proteins bound 0.6-0.85 mol of guanosine 5'-O-(thio-triphosphate (GTP gamma S)/mol of protein with similar affinities (KD(app) = 50-100 nM). The rate of [35S]GTP gamma S binding to Gi2 was 5-8-fold faster than to Gi1 or Gi3 at 2 mm Mg2+. There were no observable differences in the binding characteristics between bovine brain Gi1 and human erythrocyte Gi3. At 50 mM Mg2+, all three Gi proteins exhibited fast binding, although Gi1 and Gi3 were marginally slower than Gi2. All three Gi proteins exhibited different rates of [32P]GDP release at 2 mM Mg2+. GDP release from Gi2 was severalfold faster than that from Gi1 or Gi3. GDP release rates from Gi1 and Gi3 were similar, although Gi3 was somewhat (60-80%) faster than Gi1. These data indicate that rates of GDP release and GTP binding may be independently regulated for these three proteins and that the relative proportions of Gi2/Gi1 or Gi2/Gi3 will be a crucial factor in determining the kinetics of signal transduction through Gi-coupled effectors.  相似文献

Known nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are oligomers of 17-23-kDa subunits and catalyze the reaction N1TP + N2DP --> N1DP + N2TP via formation of a histidine-phosphorylated enzyme intermediate. NDPKs are involved in the activation of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) by catalyzing the formation of GTP from GDP, but the properties of G-protein-associated NDPKs are still incompletely known. The aim of our present study was to characterize NDPK in soluble preparations of the retinal G-protein transducin. The NDPK is operationally referred to as transducin-NDPK. Like known NDPKs, transducin-NDPK utilizes NTPs and phosphorothioate analogs of NTPs as substrates. GDP was a more effective phosphoryl group acceptor at transducin-NDPK than ADP and CDP, and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) was a more effective thiophosphoryl group donor than adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]). In contrast with their action on known NDPKs, mastoparan and mastoparan 7 had no stimulatory effect on transducin-NDPK. Guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) potentiated [3H]GTP[S] formation from [3H]GDP and ATP[S] but not [3H]GTP[S] formation from [3H]GDP and GTP[S]. Depending on the thiophosphoryl group acceptor and donor, [3H]NTP[S] formation was differentially regulated by Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+. [gamma-32P]ATP and [gamma-32P]GTP [32P]phosphorylated, and [35S]ATP[S] [35S]thiophosphorylated, a 36-kDa protein comigrating with transducin-beta. p[NH]ppG potentiated [35S]thiophosphorylation of the 36-kDa protein. 32P-labeling of the 36-kDa protein showed characteristics of histidine phosphorylation. There was no evidence for (thio)phosphorylation of 17-23-kDa proteins. Our data show the following: (a) soluble transducin preparations contain a GDP-prefering and guanine nucleotide-regulated NDPK; (b) transducin-beta may serve as a (thio)phosphorylated NDPK intermediate; (c) transducin-NDPK is distinct from known NDPKs and may consist of multiple kinases or a single kinase with multiple regulatory domains.  相似文献

A phosphate-incorporating protein has been highly purified from the cytosol of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EAT cells). The nitrocellulose membrane method was used to follow the progress of the purification by quantitation of the [32P]phosphorylated form of the protein. The purified protein was identified as an NDP-kinase since it exhibited NDP-kinase activity and had enzyme characteristics in common with other NDP-kinases from various mammalian cells. The purified NDP-kinase was found to have a molecular weight of approximately 76,000 daltons. Moreover, the enzyme appears to consist of two distinct polypeptides (18,000 and 20,000 daltons). This enzyme contained 19 amino acids, with high levels of glycine (9.8%) and lysine (9.0%). The enzyme rapidly formed a [32P]phosphoenzyme when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of Mg2+ (1 mM) at the optimum pH of 7.5 even at low temperature (below 4 degrees C). This phosphoenzyme is an enzyme-bound, high-energy-phosphate intermediate, because ATP was formed from it on incubation with ADP in the presence of Mg2+ (1 mM). This finding suggests that the phosphoenzyme functions as an intermediate in NDP-kinase action.  相似文献

The optimum condition to quantitate the [32P]ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein, IAP) in human platelet membranes was investigated. Autoradiography indicated the incorporation of 32P into the band corresponding to the molecular weight of 40-41 kDa, which was augmented by the addition of GTP in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2. On the other hand, non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) enhanced the IAP-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation only in the absence of MgCl2. The amounts of IAP-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation in the presence of 100 microM GTP and 10 mM MgCl2 were linear in proportion to the protein concentrations within the limited range of protein concentrations, indicating that this simple quantitative method could be adequately used to evaluate the IAP-sensitive G proteins. Data from fifteen healthy volunteers (7 males and 8 females ranging 24 to 60 years old) indicate that the amounts of IAP-sensitive G proteins in platelet membranes are significantly negatively correlated with ages.  相似文献
