In the accompanying article (Schmidt, J.A., and Yguerabide, J. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 19790-19803), we presented a minimal quantitative kinetic model with one rate-limiting step for the transient response of rod outer segment (ROS) phosphodiesterase (PDE) to stimulating light pulses of low fractional bleach (linear response range) and showed that the model was in excellent quantitative agreement with experimental results. The model characterizes the PDE response in terms of the specific rate constant of the rate-limiting step, kL, the lifetime of photoactivated rhodopsin, tau R, and the lifetime of activated PDE, tau P, but makes no predictions on how these kinetic parameters should depend on the concentrations of the various reactive species involved in the PDE response to light and does not reveal the nature of the rate-limiting step. However, we established by curve fitting experimental data to theoretical expressions from the model that kL increases hyperbolically with [GTP], tau R decreases with [GTP], and tau P is independent of GTP. In this report we present three detailed kinetic models which make specific quantitative predictions on how the kinetic parameters of the minimal model should depend on nucleotide and G protein concentrations and test the models against experimental data. Each model consists of one rate-limiting step. The first detailed model postulates that the rate-limiting step is the dissociation of R*GT into R* and GT (T stands for GTP). The second model postulates that the rate-limiting step is the binding of GTP to R*G, and the third model postulates that the rate-limiting step is the encounter rate of R* and G on the ROS disc membrane. We find that only the first detailed model is consistent with the experimental results as characterized by the minimal model. Using this detailed model we (a) define kL and tau R in terms of more fundamental equilibrium and rate parameters, (b) develop a theory for the systematic evaluation of amplification or gain of the PDE light response from light-stimulated GTP-binding data as well as v(t) versus t graphs, and (c) clarify methods which have been used in the past to evaluate gain experimentally. 相似文献

The interaction of the rod GTP binding protein, Transducin (G(t)), with bleached Rhodopsin (R(*)) was investigated by measuring radiolabeled guanine nucleotide binding to and release from soluble and/or membrane-bound G(t) by reconstituting G(t) containing bound GDP (G(t-)GDP) or the hydrolysis-resistant GTP analog guanylyl imidodiphosphate (G(t-)p[NH]ppG) with R* under physiological conditions. Release of GDP and p[NH]ppG from G(t) occurred to the same extent and with the same light sensitivity both in the presence and absence of added GTP. Significant amounts of G(t) without bound nucleotide (G(t-)) were generated. When ROS containing bleached rhodopsin (R(*)) were centrifuged in low ionic strength buffer, G(t-) remained associated with the membrane fraction, whereas G(t-)GDP remained in the soluble fraction. These results suggest that G(t-)GDP and G(t-)p[NH]ppG have similar affinities for R(*). The results also suggest that G(t-), rather than G(t-)GDP, is the moiety which exhibits tight, "light-induced" binding to rhodopsin. 相似文献

The gamma-subunit of retinal rod-outer-segment phosphodiesterase (PDE-gamma) is a multifunctional protein which interacts directly with both of the catalytic subunits of PDE (PDE alpha/beta) and the alpha-subunit of the retinal G (guanine-nucleotide-binding)-protein transducin alpha (T alpha). We have previously reported that the PDE gamma binds to T alpha at residue nos. 24-45 [Morrison. Rider & Takemoto (1987) FEBS Lett. 222, 266-270]. In vitro this results in inhibition of T alpha GTP/GDP exchange [Morrison, Cunnick, Oppert & Takemoto (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 11671-11681]. We now report that the inhibitory region of PDE gamma for PDE alpha/beta occurs at PDE gamma residues 54-87. This binding results in inhibition of either trypsin-solubilized or membrane-bound PDE alpha/beta. PDE gamma which has been treated with carboxypeptidase Y, removing the C-terminus, does not inhibit PDE alpha/beta, but does inhibit T alpha GTP/GDP exchange. Inhibition by PDE gamma can be removed by T alpha-guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) addition to membranes. This results in a displacement of PDE gamma, but not in removal of this subunit from the membrane [Whalen, Bitensky & Takemoto (1990) Biochem. J. 265, 655-658]. These results suggest that low levels of T alpha-GTP[S] can result in displacement of PDE gamma from the membrane in vitro as a GTP[S]-T alpha-PDE gamma complex. Further activation by high levels of T alpha-GTP[S] occurs by displacement of PDE gamma from its inhibitory site on PDE alpha/beta, but not in removal from the membrane. 相似文献

Transducin (T alpha beta gamma), the heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein that interacts with photoexcited rhodopsin (Rh*) and the cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) in retinal rod cells, is sensitive to cholera (CTx) and pertussis toxins (PTx), which catalyze the binding of an ADP-ribose to the alpha subunit at Arg174 and Cys347, respectively. These two types of ADP-ribosylations are investigated with transducin in vitro or with reconstituted retinal rod outer-segment membranes. Several functional perturbations inflicted on T alpha by the resulting covalent modifications are studied such as: the binding of T alpha to T beta gamma to the membrane and to Rh*; the spontaneous or Rh*-catalysed exchange of GDP for GTP or guanosine 5-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S]), the conformational switch and activation undergone by transducin upon this exchange, the activation of T alpha GDP by fluoride complexes and the activation of the PDE by T alpha GTP. ADP-ribosylation of transducin by CTx requires the GTP-dependent activation of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF), takes place only on the high-affinity, nucleotide-free complex, Rh*-T alpha empty-T beta gamma and does not activate T alpha. Subsequent to CTx-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation the following occurs: (a) addition of GDP induces the release from Rh* of inactive CTxT alpha GDP (CTxT alpha, ADP-ribosylated alpha subunit of transducin) which remains associated to T beta gamma; (b) CTxT alpha GDP-T beta gamma exhibits the usual slow kinetics of spontaneous exchange of GDP for GTP[gamma S] in the absence of Rh*, but the association and dissociation of fluoride complexes, which act as gamma-phosphate analogs, are kinetically modified, suggesting that the ADP-ribose on Arg174 specifically perturbs binding of the gamma-phosphate in the nucleotide site; (c) CTxT alpha GDP-T beta gamma can still couple to Rh* and undergo fast nucleotide exchange; (d) CTxT alpha GTP[gamma S] and CTxT alpha GDP-AlFx (AlFx, Aluminofluoride complex) activate retinal cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) with the same efficiency as their unmodified counterparts, but the kinetics and affinities of fluoride activation are changed; (e) CTxT alpha GTP hydrolyses GTP more slowly than unmodified T alpha GTP, which entirely accounts for the prolonged action of CTxT alpha GTP on the PDE; (f) after GTP hydrolysis, CTxT alpha GDP reassociates to T beta gamma and becomes inactive. Thus, CTx catalyzed ADP-ribosylation only perturbs in T alpha the GTP-binding domain, but not the conformational switch nor the domains of contact with the T beta gamma subunit, with Rh* and with the PDE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Molecular mechanism of GTP hydrolysis by bovine transducin: pre-steady-state kinetic analyses. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
During the visual transduction process in rod photoreceptor cells, transducin (T) mediates the flow of information from photoexcited rhodopsin (R*) to the cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) via a cycle of GTP binding and hydrolysis. The pre-steady-state kinetics of GTP hydrolysis by T was studied by rapid quenching and filtration techniques in a reconstituted system containing purified R* and T. Kinetic analyses have shown that the turnover of T-bound GTP can be dissected into four partial reactions: (1) the R*-catalyzed GTP binding via a GDP/GTP exchange reaction, (2) the on-site hydrolysis of bound GTP, which leads to the formation of a T-GDP.Pi complex, (3) the release of the tightly bound inorganic phosphate (Pi) from T-GDP.Pi, and (4) the recycling of T-GDP. The R*-catalyzed GTP binding was estimated to occur in less than 1 s. In rapid acid quenching experiments, the rate of Pi formation due to GTP hydrolysis exhibited biphasic characteristics. An initial burst of Pi formation occurred between 1 and 4 s, which was followed by a slow steady-state rate. Increasing T concentration yielded a proportional increase in the burst and steady-state rate. The addition of Gpp(NH)p decreased both parameters. D2O decreased the rise of the initial burst with a kinetic isotope effect of approximately 1.7 but has no effect on the steady-state rate of Pi formation. These results indicate that the burst represents the fast hydrolysis of GTP at the binding site of T, which results in the accumulation of T-GDP.Pi complexes. The steady-state rate represents the slow release of Pi. This finding was further supported by rapid filtration experiments that monitored the formation of free Pi in solution. An initial lag time in the formation of free Pi was observed before a steady-state rate was established, indicating that the initially formed Pi was tightly bound to T. Finally, the release of GDP from T-GDP.Pi was not detected. This suggests that another cycle of GTP exchange catalyzed by R* should occur before the release of bound GDP. The rate of Pi release from T-GDP.Pi was measured under single-turnover conditions and had a half life of approximately 20 s, which was identical with the rate of deactivation of the PDE due to GTP hydrolysis by T.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Signal-transducing guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) are heterotrimers, composed of the nucleotide-binding alpha subunit and a beta gamma dimer. The influence of beta gamma dimer preparations of the retinal G protein transducin (TD) was studied on formylpeptide-receptor--G-protein interactions in membranes of differentiated HL 60 cells. For this, TD was prepared from bovine rod outer segment (ROS) membranes with either GTP or its analogs, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imino]triphosphate (Gpp[NH]p). After removal of free nucleotides, TD beta gamma was separated from TD alpha and its function analyzed. Addition of TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with GTP[S] (TD beta gamma GTP[S]) to HL 60 membranes abolished high-affinity binding of fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine) to its receptor. In contrast, TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with GTP (TD beta gamma GTP), boiled TD beta gamma GTP[S] and TD alpha prepared with GTP[S] had no or only slight effects. The inhibitory effect of TD beta gamma GTP[S] on fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe receptor binding was potentiated by GDP at low concentrations but not by GTP[S]. Furthermore, TD beta gamma GTP[S], but not TD beta gamma GTP or TD beta gamma isolated from TD prepared with Gpp[NH]p (TD beta gamma Gpp[NH]p), prevented fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated binding of [35S]GTP[S] to G proteins in HL 60 membranes, measured in the presence of GDP. When TD beta gamma GTP was incubated with GTP [S] and TD-depleted illuminated ROS membranes, and subsequently separated from the membranes and free GTP[S], this TD beta gamma GTP, similar to TD beta gamma GTP[S], abolished high-affinity binding of fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe to its receptor, fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated binding of [35S]GTP[S], and fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated GTP hydrolysis in HL 60 membranes. Inhibition of [35S]GTP[S] binding by TD beta gamma was not seen in the presence of the metabolically stable GDP analog, guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. In order to obtain an insight into the modification of TD beta gamma apparently caused by GTP[S], and into its mechanism of action in HL 60 membranes, TD, TD alpha and TD beta gamma, all prepared in the presence of GTP, were incubated with [35S]GTP[S] and TD-depleted illuminated ROS membranes. Fluorographic analysis of the supernatant proteins revealed 35S labelling of the beta band of the G protein. When apparently thiophosphorylated TD beta gamma was incubated with [3H]GDP in the presence of HL 60 membranes, [3H]GTP[S] was rapidly formed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The activation of transducin (T) by photoexcited rhodopsin (R*) is kinetically dissected within the framework of Michaelis-Menten enzymology, taking transducin as substrate of the enzyme R*. The light scattering "release" signal (Vuong, T.M., M. Chabre, and L. Stryer, 1984, Nature (Lond.). 311:659-661) was used to monitor the kinetics of transducin activation at 20 degrees C. In addition, the influence of nonuniform distributions of R* on these activation kinetics is also explored. Sinusoidal patterns of R* were created with interference fringes from two crossed laser beams. Two characteristic times were extracted from the Michaelis-Menten analysis: t(form), the diffusion-related time needed to form the enzyme-substrate R*-transducin is 0.25 +/- 0.1 ms, and T(cat), the time taken by R* to perform the chemistry of catalysis on transducin is 1.2 +/- 0.2 ms, in the absence of added guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and at saturating levels of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). With t(form) being but 20% of the total activation time t(form) + t(cat), transducin activation by R* is not limited by lateral diffusion. This is further borne out by the observation that uniform and sinusoidal patterns of R* elicited release signals of indistinguishable kinetics. When (GDP) = (GTP) = 500 microM, t(cat) is lengthened twofold. As the in vivo GDP and GTP levels are comparable, the exchange of nucleotides may well be the rate-limiting process. 相似文献

The effect of GTP analogues on catecholamine secretion and [3H]arachidonic acid release from digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells was examined. Several GTP analogues stimulated Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, with the order of efficacy being XTP greater than ITP greater than guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) greater than guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). The stimulatory effect of the GTP analogues appeared to be due to activation of a conventional GTP-binding protein, as it was inhibited by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]). In contrast, Ca2(+)-dependent exocytosis was only partially inhibited by high doses of GDP[S]. GTP did not stimulate Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, but instead was found to inhibit secretion caused by micromolar Ca2+. Arachidonic acid (100 microM) also stimulated Ca2(+)-independent catecholamine secretion. Determination of the effect of GTP analogues on release of free [3H]arachidonic acid into the medium showed that it was stimulated by GTP[S] but inhibited by GTP, p[NH]ppG, ITP and XTP. The inhibition of [3H]arachidonic acid release by XTP was not prevented by GDP[S]. These results demonstrate that activation of a GTP-binding protein by certain GTP analogues can induce Ca2(+)-independent secretion in adrenal chromaffin cells and that the effect of GTP analogues on Ca2(+)-independent secretion can be dissociated from generation of arachidonic acid. 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

Despite the growing structural information on receptors and G proteins, the information on affinities and kinetics of protein-protein and protein-nucleotide interactions is still not complete. In this study on photoactivated rhodopsin (R*) and the rod G protein, G(t), we have used kinetic light scattering, backed by direct biochemical assays, to follow G protein activation. Our protocol includes the following: (i) to measure initial rates on the background of rapid depletion of the G(t)GDP substrate; (ii) to titrate G(t)GDP, GTP, and GDP; and (iii) to apply a double displacement reaction scheme to describe the results. All data are simultaneously fitted by one and the same set of parameters. We obtain values of K(m) = 2200 G(t)/microm(2) for G(t)GDP and K(m) = 230 microm for GTP; dissociation constants are K(d) = 530 G(t)/microm(2) for R*-G(t)GDP dissociation and K(d) = 270 microm for GDP release from R*G(t)GDP, once formed. Maximal catalytic rates per photoexcited rhodopsin are 600 G(t)/s at 22 degrees C and 1300 G(t)/s at 34 degrees C. The analysis provides a tool to allocate and quantify better the effects of chemical or mutational protein modifications to individual steps in signal transduction. 相似文献

In rod photoreceptor cells, the light response is triggered by an enzymatic cascade that causes cGMP levels to fall: excited rhodopsin (Rho*)----rod G-protein (transducin, Gt)----cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE). This results in the closure of plasma membrane channels that are gated by cGMP. PDE activation by Gt occurs when GDP bound to the alpha-subunit of Gt (Gt alpha) is exchanged with free GTP. The interaction of Gt alpha-GTP with the gamma-subunits of PDE releases their inhibitory action and causes cGMP hydrolysis. Inactivation is thought to be caused by subsequent hydrolysis of Gt alpha-GTP by an intrinsic Gt-GTPase activity. Here we report that there are two portions of Gt in frog rod outer segments (ROS) expressing different rates of GTP hydrolysis: 19.5 +/- 3 mmol of Gt/mol of Rho, equivalent to that amount which participates in PDE activation, hydrolyzing GTP at a rate of approximately 0.6 turnover/s ("fast") and the remaining Gt (80.5 +/- 3 mmol/mol Rho) hydrolyzing GTP at a rate of 0.058 +/- 0.009 turnover/s. Fast GTPase activity is abolished in the presence of cGMP. This effect occurs over the physiological range of cGMP concentration changes in ROS, half-saturating at approximately 2 microM and saturating at 5 microM cGMP. cGMP-dependent suppression of GTPase is specific for cGMP; cAMP in millimolar concentration does not affect GTPase, while the poorly hydrolyzable cGMP analogue, 8-bromo-cGMP, mimics the effect. GTPase regulation by cGMP is not affected by Ca2+ over the concentration range 5-500 nM, which spans the physiological changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ in rod cells. We suggest that the fast cGMP-sensitive GTPase activity is a property of the Gt that activates PDE. In this model, cGMP serves not only as a messenger of excitation but also modulates GTPase activity, thereby mediating negative feedback regulation of the pathway via PDE turnoff: a light-dependent decrease in cGMP accelerates the hydrolysis of GTP bound to Gt, resulting in the rapid inactivation of PDE. 相似文献

Retinal cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) is regulated by Pgamma, the regulatory subunit of PDE, and GTP/Talpha, the GTP-bound alpha subunit of transducin. In the accompanying paper (Matsuura, I., Bondarenko, V. A., Maeda, T., Kachi, S., Yamazaki, M., Usukura, J., Hayashi, F., and Yamazaki, A. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 32950-32957), we have shown that all known Pgammas contain a specific phosphorylation motif for cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5) and that the unknown kinase is Cdk5 complexed with its activator. Here, using frog rod photoreceptor outer segments (ROS) isolated by a new method, we show that Cdk5 is involved in light-dependent Pgamma phosphorylation in vivo. Under dark conditions only negligible amounts of Pgamma were phosphorylated. However, under illumination that bleached less than 0.3% of the rhodopsin, approximately 4% of the total Pgamma was phosphorylated in less than 10 s. Pgamma dephosphorylation occurred in less than 1 s after the light was turned off. Analysis of the phosphorylated amino acid, inhibition of Pgamma phosphorylation by Cdk inhibitors in vivo and in vitro, and two-dimensional peptide map analysis of Pgamma phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro indicate that Cdk5 phosphorylates a Pgamma threonine in the same manner in vivo and in vitro. These observations, together with immunological data showing the presence of Cdk5 in ROS, suggest that Cdk5 is involved in light-dependent Pgamma phosphorylation in ROS and that the phosphorylation is significant and reversible. In an homogenate of frog ROS, PDE activated by light/guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) was inhibited by Pgamma alone, but not by Pgamma complexed with GDP/Talpha or GTPgammaS/Talpha. Under these conditions, Pgamma phosphorylated by Cdk5 inhibited the light/GTPgammaS-activated PDE even in the presence of GTPgammaS/Talpha. These observations suggest that phosphorylated Pgamma interacts with and inhibits light/GTPgammaS-activated PDE, but does not interact with GTPgammaS/Talpha in the homogenate. Together, our results strongly suggest that after activation of PDE by light/GTP, Pgamma is phosphorylated by Cdk5 and the phosphorylated Pgamma inhibits GTP/Talpha-activated PDE, even in the presence of GTP/Talpha in ROS. 相似文献

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

Adenylate cyclase activity was measured in suspensions of E.coli B, rendered permeable with toluene. The enzyme was activated in a dose-dependent manner by GTP and by its non-hydrolysable analogue, GTP[gamma S]. In contrast, incubation with GDP[beta S], a non-phosphorylatable analogue of GDP, caused a dose-related inhibition of adenylate cyclase; this was partially overcome by addition of GTP. GTP did not relieve, and GDP[beta S] augmented, the non-competitive and dose-related inhibition of E.coli adenylate cyclase by glucose. 相似文献

The regulation of the cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase by the GDP-bound form of the alpha subunit of transducin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The functional interactions of the retinal G protein, transducin, with the cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) have been examined using the different purified subunit components of transducin and the native and trypsin-treated forms of the effector enzyme. The limited trypsin treatment of the PDE removes the low molecular weight gamma subunit (Mr approximately 14,000) of the enzyme, yielding a catalytic moiety comprised of the two larger molecular subunits (alpha, Mr approximately 85,000-90,000; beta, Mr approximately 85,000-90,000), which is insensitive to the addition of either the pure alpha T.GTP gamma S species or the pure beta gamma T subunit complex. However, the addition of the pure alpha T.GDP species to the trypsin-treated PDE (tPDE) results in a significant (90-100%) inhibition of the enzyme activity. This inhibition can be reversed by excess beta gamma T, suggesting that the holotransducin molecule does not (functionally) interact with the tPDE. However, the inhibition by alpha T.GDP is not reversed by the alpha T.GTP gamma S complex, over a range of [alpha T.GTP gamma S] which elicits a marked stimulation of the native enzyme activity, suggesting that the activated alpha T species does not effectively bind to the tPDE. The alpha T.GDP complex also is capable of inhibiting the alpha T.GTP gamma S-stimulated cyclic GMP hydrolysis by the native PDE. This inhibition can be reversed by excess alpha T.GTP gamma S, as well as by beta gamma T, indicating that the binding site for the activated alpha T species is in close proximity and/or overlaps the binding site for the alpha T.GDP complex on the enzyme. Overall, these results are consistent with a scheme where (a) both the small and larger molecular weight subunits of PDE participate in alpha T-PDE interactions, (b) the activation of PDE by the alpha T.GTP gamma S (or alpha T.GTP) species does not result in the complete dissociation of the gamma subunit from the enzyme, and (c) the deactivation of this signal transduction system results from a direct interaction between the alpha T.GDP species and the catalytic moiety of the effector enzyme. 相似文献

The ram gene encodes a GTP-binding protein with a M(r) of 25,068 (Nagata, K., Satoh, T., Itoh, H., Kozasa, T., Okano, Y., Doi, T., Kaziro, Y., and Nozawa, Y. (1990) FEBS Lett. 275, 29-32). It has a putative effector domain very similar to that of yeast SEC4 protein, and shares 40% identity and 60% homology with it, respectively. In order to analyze the biochemical properties, ram cDNA was engineered and inserted into a bacterial expression vector; this allowed the production at a high level of soluble recombinant ram p25 in Escherichia coli. The purified ram p25 contained an equimolar amount of GDP. The purified protein bound approximately 1 mol of [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) GTP gamma S)/mol of protein, with a Kd value of 120 nM. [35S]GTP gamma S binding to this protein was inhibited by GTP and GDP, but not by ATP and ADP. In the presence of 10 mM Mg2+, the dissociation of [8,5'-3H]GDP and [35S]GTP gamma S from ram p25 occurred with rates of 0.015 min-1 and 0.004 min-1, respectively, showing that the ram p25 has a higher affinity for GTP than GDP. The rate of release of Pi from [gamma-32P]GTP-bound ram p25 was calculated to be 0.011 min-1. The contribution of guanine nucleotide-binding and GTP-hydrolysis domains of the protein to its biochemical activities was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Substitution of Val for Gly at position 19 resulted in disappearance of [35S]GTP gamma S- and [3H]GDP-binding activity in spite of good expression of the protein. Mutations of Thr41 to Ser, Ala76 to Thr, and Asn133 to His slightly increased the rates of [35S] GTP gamma S binding and [3H]GDP dissociation, but had almost no effects on the manner of [gamma-32P]GTP hydrolysis. Replacement of Gln78 with Leu significantly increased the [3H]GDP dissociation rate (7-fold) and decreased GTP hydrolytic activity considerably. 相似文献

ADP receptor-regulated binding of the labeled GTP analog, guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTP[gamma S]), to guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) was studied in human platelet membranes. The potent ADP receptor agonist, 2-methyl-thio-adenosine 5'-diphosphate (2MeSADP), a non-hydrolyzable analog of ADP, increased the binding of [35S]GTP[gamma S] without apparent lag phase. Under optimal conditions, i.e. in the presence of GDP (1-10 microM), 2MeSADP increased the binding up to about threefold, with half-maximal and maximal increase observed at 10 nM and 1 microM 2MeSADP, respectively. ADP itself increased the binding of [35S]GTP[gamma S] by maximally about twofold, with half-maximal increase occurring at 0.1 microM ADP. The agonist-induced stimulation was competitively antagonized by the ADP receptor(s) antagonist, (1S)-adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) [(Sp)-ATP[alpha S]]. Other platelet receptor agonists known to act through receptors coupled to G proteins also increased binding of [35S]GTP[gamma S] in human platelet membranes, but without being inhibited by (Sp)-ATP[alpha S]. The data presented indicate that the platelet ADP receptor(s) can interact with and efficiently activate G proteins, the nature of which remains to be identified. 相似文献

The stimulation of inositol phosphate generation by bombesin and GTP analogues was studied in Swiss 3T3 cells permeabilized by electroporation. Bombesin-stimulated inositol phosphate generation is potentiated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and inhibited by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate at all peptide concentrations tested, with no change in the EC50 value (concn. giving half-maximal response) for the agonist. Kinetic analysis showed that, although bombesin-stimulated [3H]InsP3 generation in [3H]inositol-labelled cells was rapid (maximal by 5-10 s), the response to GTP[S] alone displayed a distinct lag time of 20-30 s. This lag time was significantly decreased by the addition of bombesin, suggesting that in this system agonist-stimulated GTP/GDP exchange occurs. In addition, bombesin-stimulated generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass at 10 s was enhanced by GTP[S] in the absence of a nucleotide response alone, a result consistent with this proposal. Pretreatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of bombesin-, but not GTP[S]-, stimulated inositol phosphate generation. Furthermore, although PMA pretreatment did not affect the lag time for InsP3 formation in response to GTP[S] alone, the degree of synergy between bombesin and the nucleotide was severely decreased at early time points. The results therefore demonstrate that the high-affinity bombesin receptor is coupled via a G-protein to phospholipase C in a manner consistent with a general model for receptor-G-protein interactions and that this coupling is sensitive to phosphorylation by protein kinase C. 相似文献

Three photoactive derivatives of the 7-methylguanosine-containing cap of eukaryotic mRNA were used to investigate protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-4E from human erythrocytes and rabbit reticulocytes. Sensitive and specific labeling of eIF-4E was observed with the previously described probe, [gamma-32P]-gamma-[[(4-benzoylphenyl)methyl]amido]-7-methyl-GTP [Blaas et al. (1982) Virology 116, 339; abbreviated [32P]BPM]. A second probe was synthesized that was an azidophenyltyrosine derivative of m7GTP [( 125I]APTM), the monoanhydride of m7GDP with [125I]-N-(4-azidophenyl)-2-(phosphoramido)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-iodop hen yl) propionamide. This probe allowed rapid and quantitative introduction of radioactivity in the last rather than the first step of synthesis and placed the radioactive label on the protein-proximal side of the weak P-N bond. A dissociation constant of 6.9 microM was determined for [125I]APTM, which is comparable to the published values for m7GTP. m7GTP and APTM were equally effective as competitive inhibitors of eIF-4E labeling with [125I]APTM. Like [32P]BPM, [125I]APTM labeled both the full-length (25 kDa) polypeptide and a 16-kDa degradation product, designated eIF-4E*, with labeling occurring in proportion to the amounts of each polypeptide present. A third probe, an azidophenylglycine derivative of m7GTP [( 32P]APGM), the monoanhydride of m7GDP with [32P]-N-(4-azidophenyl)-2-(phosphoramido)acetamide, was also synthesized and shown to label eIF-4E specifically. Unlike [32P]BPM and [125I]APTM, however, [32P]APGM labeled eIF-4E* approximately 4-fold more readily than intact eIF-4E. Tryptic and CNBr cleavage suggested that eIF-4E* consists of a protease-resistant core of eIF-4E that retains the cap-binding site and consists of approximately residues 47-182. 相似文献

Transducin is a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein found in the outer segment of vertebrate retinas that links the photoactivation of rhodopsin (R*) with activation of a robust type VI cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE6). Association of the alpha subunit of Transducin (G(alphat)) with the beta-gamma complex (G(betagamma)) is necessary for interaction of the holoprotein with R* and exchange of a GTP for a previously bound GDP. We have investigated the abundances of the three Transducin subunits by eluting them from bovine rod outer segment membranes by centrifugation under various conditions in vitro. We find that a substantial amount of G(betagamma) is eluted from ROS under conditions that do not elute G(alphat) and that there is an overall three to fourfold molar excess of G(betagamma) to G(alphat) in rod outer segments. These results suggest that the production and/or turnover of G(alphat), G(beta), and G(gamma) in the rod outer segment are controlled independently. 相似文献
