The 45-kDa alpha subunit of the signal transducing Gs protein complex, which stimulates receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase, incorporated less of the photoaffinity probe, 8N3-[gamma-32P]GTP, in extracts from tumorigenic cell lines in comparison with nontumorigenic cell lines derived from mouse lung epithelium. Immunoblotting experiments using anti-Gs alpha antibodies demonstrated that tumor cells do not have a decreased amount of Gs alpha and photolabeling of tumor cell Gs alpha increased when the rate of nucleotide exchange was promoted. Therefore, tumor cell Gs alpha function may be altered. Consistent with this hypothesis is the observation that the tumor cells exhibited decreased responsiveness to the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol. Gs alpha photolabeling in growing nontumorigenic cells was reduced to a level resembling that observed in tumor cells, but photolabeling increased when cells became contact-inhibited. This increase in 8N3-[gamma-32P]GTP incorporation into Gs alpha by normal cells at confluence was not seen in the tumorigenic cells. Since Gs alpha photolabeling was inversely proportional to the percentage of [3H]thymidine-labeled nuclei at confluence, we suggest that the altered Gs alpha in tumor cells is involved in the loss of cell growth regulation. 相似文献

The translocation of the alpha subunits of Gs from the membrane to the cytosol by iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analogue, was studied in mouse mastocytoma P-815 cells. In the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), iloprost stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity, caused the release of both 42- and 45-kDa proteins reactive with the anti Gs alpha carboxyl-terminal antibody, RM/1, from the membrane and attenuated cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the 42- and 45-kDa proteins in the membrane. The iloprost-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and release of Gs alpha from the membrane were markedly suppressed by RM/1. Cholera toxin treatment also stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity and release of Gs alpha from the membrane, and iloprost synergistically potentiated these actions of cholera toxin. In mastocytoma cells, iloprost induced the translocation of both 42- and 45-kDa Gs alpha from the membrane to the cytosol, 45-kDa Gs alpha remaining in the cytosol for a longer time than 42- kDa Gs alpha. Whereas 42-kDa Gs alpha in the cytosol was eluted at the position of Mr = approximately 40,000 45-kDa Gs alpha was eluted at the position of Mr = approximately 120,000 from a Superose 12 gel filtration column. In contrast, both 42- and 45-kDa Gs alpha released in vitro from the membrane by iloprost plus GTP gamma S were eluted at the position of Mr = approximately 40,000, but only 45-kDa Gs alpha was eluted at the position of Mr = approximately 120,000 when it was incubated with cytosol. These results taken together demonstrate that iloprost induces the translocation of both 42- and 45-kDa Gs alpha from the membrane to the cytosol and that only the 45-kDa Gs alpha released exists in the cytosol as a soluble complex with unidentified component(s) in mastocytoma cells. 相似文献

Quantitation of the guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein Gs in S49 cell membranes using antipeptide antibodies to alpha s 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Polyclonal antibodies reactive against the guanine nucleotide binding stimulatory protein, Gs, were affinity-purified from two rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 28-42 in the alpha-subunit, alpha s. On immunoblots, these antibodies recognized alpha s, but not alpha-subunits from two other guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins, Gi and Go. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed in which inhibition of antibody binding to peptide-coated microtiter plates was used to quantitate purified Gs or Gs in cholate extracts of cell membranes. Plasma membranes derived from wild type S49 lymphoma cells contained 18.9 +/- 2.3 pmol/mg of membrane protein of alpha s. The same membranes bound 169 +/- 12 fmol/mg of protein of [125I]iodocyanopindolol to beta-adrenergic receptors, indicating that the amount of Gs is far in excess of the amount of beta-adrenergic receptors. Thus, even if every beta-adrenergic receptor molecule were to activate 10 Gs molecules, in order for Gs to be limiting for the receptors to reach their high affinity state, it is likely that compartmentation exists for target cell membrane receptors and Gs. Moreover, a comparison of beta-adrenergic receptor number and Gs levels in several different S49 lymphoma cell mutants having lesions in receptors or Gs argues against a coordinate regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors and Gs. 相似文献

Subunit dissociation is the mechanism for hormonal activation of the Gs protein in native membranes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We have recently reported (Ransn?s, L.A., and Insel, P.A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9482-9485) development of antipeptide antibodies to the alpha s protein of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein, Gs, and use of one of these antibodies, GS-1, to quantitate Gs levels in S49 lymphoma cell membranes. Another of these antibodies, termed GS-2, appears to detect only dissociated alpha s, but not the heterotrimer alpha s beta gamma. Using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we have found that the guanine nucleotides GTP and guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) (but not GDP) and the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol activate Gs in native S49 cell membrane by subunit dissociation. Evidence for this includes detection of dissociated alpha s in membrane extracts and release of alpha s from S49 cell membranes treated with GTP gamma S or isoproterenol. Moreover, the estimates of apparent stoichiometry for this dissociation indicate that each beta-adrenergic receptor is able to activate greater than or equal to 100 molecules of Gs in native membranes. Thus, receptor-mediated dissociation of Gs is likely to be the major site of amplification of signal transduction by agonists active at hormone receptors that link to Gs. 相似文献

The hormone-sensitive adenylyl cyclase system is under dual control, receiving both stimulatory and inhibitory inputs. Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) transduce signals from cell surface receptors to effectors such as adenylyl cyclase. Hormonal stimulation is propagated via Gs, inhibition by Gi. Persistent (24-h) activation of the stimulatory pathway of adenylyl cyclase by the diterpene forskolin or the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol in S49 mouse lymphoma cells enhanced the effects of somatostatin mediated via the inhibitory pathway of adenylyl cyclase. Stimulating cells with forskolin or isoproterenol for 24 h resulted in a 3-fold increase in the steady-state levels of Gi alpha 2 and a 25% decline in Gs alpha, as quantified by immunoblotting. Within 12 h of stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, Gi alpha 2 mRNA levels increased 4-fold, measured by DNA-excess solution hybridization. Gs alpha mRNA levels, in contrast, increased initially (25%), but then declined to 75% of control. In S49 variants that lack functional protein kinase A (kin-), stimulation by isoproterenol failed to alter Gi alpha 2 expression at either the protein or the mRNA levels. A 3-fold increase in relative synthesis rate and no change in the half-life (approximately 80 h) of Gi alpha 2 was observed in response to forskolin stimulation. Although Gs alpha synthesis increased (70%) modestly in response to forskolin stimulation, the half-life of Gs alpha actually decreased from 55 h in naive cells to 34 h in treated cells. Thus, the two G-protein-mediated pathways controlling adenylyl cyclase display "cross-regulation." Persistent activation of the stimulatory pathway increases Gi alpha 2 mRNA and expression. Transiently elevated Gs alpha mRNA levels are counterbalanced by a reduction in the half-life of the protein. 相似文献

Mutations of GS alpha designed to alter the reactivity of the protein with bacterial toxins. Substitutions at ARG187 result in loss of GTPase activity 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We have introduced two types of mutations into cDNAs that encode the alpha subunit of Gs, the guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase. The arginine residue (Arg187) that is the presumed site of ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha by cholera toxin has been changed to Ala, Glu, or Lys. The rate constant for hydrolysis of GTP by all of these mutants is reduced approximately 100-fold compared with the wild-type protein. As predicted from this change, these proteins activate adenylyl cyclase constitutively in the presence of GTP. Despite these substitutions, cholera toxin still catalyzes the incorporation of 0.2-0.3 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of mutant alpha subunit. The sequence near the carboxyl terminus of Gs alpha was altered to resemble those in Gi alpha polypeptides, which are substrates for pertussis toxin. Despite this change, the mutant protein is a poor substrate for pertussis toxin. Although this protein has unaltered rates of GDP dissociation and GTP hydrolysis, its ability to activate adenylyl cyclase in the presence of GTP is enhanced by 3-fold when compared with the wild-type protein but only when these assays are performed after reconstitution of Gs alpha into cyc- (Gs alpha-deficient) S49 cell membranes. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP accumulation in response to forskolin, cholera toxin, or isoproterenol is dramatically increased in HIT T-15 cells, a clonal cell line of Syrian hamster pancreatic islet beta cells, as a function of passage number. Forskolin and cholera toxin elevate cyclic AMP levels 5- to 10-fold higher in later passages (87-100) than in earlier passages (70-80). A similar phenomenon is observed with isoproterenol (10 microM) which increases cyclic AMP levels 56-fold in older HIT cells (passage 94), whereas only marginally stimulating cyclic AMP production in younger cells (passage 70-82). To determine whether a change in the stimulatory or inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins, Gs or Gi, was responsible for these observations, ADP-ribosylation of HIT cell membranes with cholera toxin and pertussis toxin was examined. All passages contained two cholera toxin substrates at 52 and 45 kDa. The amount of 52 kDa did not appear to change with passage number, but the amount of 45 kDa increased in the later passages (89 and 94). The ratio of 45 to 52 kDa cholera toxin substrate, as determined by densitometric analysis, increased from 0.1 in passages 70, 75, and 82 to 0.45 at passage 89. No passage related changes in a 40-kDa pertussis toxin substrate were observed. An increase in the amount of the 45-kDa alpha-subunit of Gs was confirmed on immunoblots using antisera specific for the alpha-subunits of Gs. The amount of functional Gs present in various HIT cell passages was examined by determining the extent to which extracts from HIT cell membranes reconstituted guanine nucleotide-sensitive adenylyl cyclase in S49 cyc- membranes. Extracts derived from passage 94 reconstituted three to four times more adenylyl cyclase activity in cyc- membranes than extracts from passages 70, 75, and 82. These data indicate that an increase in functional Gs in later passages may be the underlying cause for the increased responsiveness to isoproterenol and forskolin in later passages. These data also suggest that functional differences exist between the Gs alpha-subunits, with the smaller 45-kDa subunit being more efficacious in coupling to cyclic AMP synthesis than the larger 52-kDa subunit. This is a departure from the commonly held view that the two subunits have similar efficacies in stimulating adenylyl cyclase. 相似文献

Agonist regulation of beta-adrenergic receptor mRNA. Analysis in S49 mouse lymphoma mutants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Agonist-promoted down-regulation of beta-adrenergic receptor mRNA was investigated in S49 mouse lymphoma variants with mutations in elements of hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase. In wild-type cells steady-state levels of beta-adrenergic receptor mRNA were established by DNA-excess solution hybridization to be 1.72 +/- 0.08 (n = 8) amol/microgram total cellular RNA. Receptor mRNA levels declined 35-45% in response to stimulation by the beta-adrenergic agonist (-)isoproterenol or forskolin as described previously in DDT1 MF-2 cells (Hadcock, J. R., and Malbon, C. C. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 85, 5021-5025). Agonist-promoted cAMP accumulation and down-regulation of receptor mRNA were analyzed in three variants with mutations in Gs alpha (H21a, unc, cyc-) and a single variant lacking cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity (kin-). H21a (Gs alpha coupled to receptor, but not to adenylate cyclase), unc (Gs alpha uncoupled from receptor), and cyc- (lacking Gs alpha) variants accumulated cAMP and down-regulated beta AR mRNA in response to forskolin. In unc and cyc- cells isoproterenol failed to stimulate cAMP; accumulation and down-regulation of receptor mRNA was not observed. H21a cells, in contrast, displayed agonist-promoted regulation of beta-adrenergic receptor mRNA but only basal levels of cAMP accumulation in response to isoproterenol. The kin- cells displayed cAMP accumulation in response to forskolin as well as to isoproterenol but no down-regulation of receptor mRNA or receptor expression. Taken together these data demonstrate several features of agonist-promoted down-regulation of mRNA: (i) cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity is required for down-regulation of mRNA (kin-), although elevated cAMP accumulation is not (H21a); (ii) functional receptor-Gs coupling is required (H21a), and clones lacking Gs alpha (cyc-) or receptor Gs coupling (unc) lack the capacity to down-regulate mRNA in response to agonist; and (iii) in the presence of basal levels of cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity, functional receptor-Gs coupling (H21a) to some other effector other than adenylate cyclase may be propagating the signal. 相似文献

Extracts from mitotic HeLa cells, when injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes, exhibit maturation-promoting activity (MPA) as evidenced by the breakdown of the germinal vesicle and the condensation of chromosomes. In this study we have attempted to purify and characterize these mitotic factors. When 0.2 M NaCl-soluble extracts of mitotic HeLa cells were concentrated by ultrafiltration and subjected to affinity chromatography on hydroxylapatite followed by DNA-cellulose, the proteins with MPA eluted as a single peak and their specific activity was increased approx. 200-fold compared with crude extracts. The molecular weight of the mitotic factors was estimated to be 100 kD as determined by chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. SDS-PAGE of the partially-purified mitotic factors indicated the presence of several polypeptides ranging from 40-150 kD with a major band of about 50 kD. The majority of these polypeptides were found to be phosphoproteins as revealed by 32P-labeling and autoradiography. Very little or no phosphorylation was observed at the 50 kD band. Several of these polypeptides were reactive with mitosis-specific monoclonal antibodies, MPM-1 or MPM-2, as shown by immunoblots of these proteins but the major polypeptide band at 50 kD was not. Removal of the immunoreactive polypeptides by precipitation with these antibodies did not destroy the MPA. The MPA of the crude or the partially-purified mitotic factors was destroyed by injection of (but not pretreatment with) alkaline phosphatase within 45 min after injection of mitotic factors. These results are discussed in terms of a possible role of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of non-histone proteins in the regulation of mitosis and meiosis. 相似文献

Prolonged treatment of human platelets with the prostacyclin analog iloprost led to desensitization of the response to various prostaglandin derivatives. However, basal adenylyl cyclase activity and stimulation by agents acting directly via Gs, the stimulatory guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein of adenylyl cyclase, were likewise decreased. Reconstitution of desensitized membranes with purified Gs from turkey erythrocytes indicated no alteration in the catalyst itself. However, the function of Gs (in cholate extracts) appeared to be severely impaired when reconstituted with adenylyl cyclase catalyst. Modification of Gs was also indicated by its altered sedimentation in sucrose density gradients. From Western blots, the alpha subunit of Gs, alpha s, from control platelets sedimented as a 5.6S species, while that from desensitized cells appeared at higher S values (in a polydisperse distribution). Activation by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate of Gs from control platelets shifted alpha s to 3.5-3.7S, while activation of Gs from desensitized platelets induced such shift only for a minor portion of alpha s. This small fraction alone appeared to be susceptible to ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin/[32P]NAD. Furthermore, an antibody directed against the C-terminal hexadecapeptide of alpha s precipitated much less alpha s from cholate extracts derived from desensitized platelets. Modification of alpha s during desensitization was also suggested from cross-linking experiments using the homobifunctional agent bismaleimidohexane: alpha s from desensitized platelets formed a single product of 80 kDa, while that from untreated platelets yielded a doublet (100 kDa and 110 kDa). 相似文献

A microculture system for mouse cerebellar cells has been used to identify an immune activity, raised in rabbits against postnatal cerebellar cells, that blocks neuron-glial interactions in vitro. In the presence of blocking antibodies, stable neuron-glial contacts did not form and neuronal induction of glial process outgrowth did not occur. Subsequently, neurons were randomly arranged in the cultures rather than organized along the arms of astroglia. We have named the immune activity that blocks neuron-astroglial interactions anti-astrotactin. Partial purification of the anti-astrotactin blocking antibodies was obtained by cellular absorption with PC12 cells, a clonal cell line which expresses both the N-CAM and NILE (Ng-CAM, L1) glycoproteins. Subsequent absorption with purified cerebellar granule cells, but not with astroglial cells, removed the blocking activity, suggesting that the antigen(s) bound by blocking antibodies are neuronal. Immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine- or [3H]fucose-radiolabeled Triton extracts of early postnatal cerebellar cells showed that the unabsorbed antiserum recognized a large number of proteins. Among these were bands with apparent molecular masses of N-CAM (180 and 140 kD) and NILE (230 kD). After absorption of the immune serum with PC12 cells, the number of bands recognized by the antiserum was reduced to a prominent band at 100 kD and a diffuse smear of material between 80 and 90 kD. The prominent band at 100 kD was removed by subsequent absorption of the immune serum with granule cells, a step which removed the blocking activity in the cerebellar microculture assay. Further evidence suggests that the astrotactin activity is missing or defective on granule cells from the neurological mutant mouse weaver, an animal that suffers a failure of glial-guided neuronal migration. When anti-astrotactin Fab fragments were pre-absorbed with weaver cerebellar neurons and then tested in the functional assay of neuron-glial interactions, the immune blocking activity was not removed. In contrast, wild-type cerebellar neurons removed the anti-astrotactin blocking activity under the same conditions. Subsequently, when [3H]fucose-radiolabeled Triton extracts of weaver and normal cells were immunoprecipitated with whole or PC12-absorbed anti-astrotactin antiserum, the intensity of the band at 100 kD was reduced by 95% in weaver cells. 相似文献

Reconstitution of cyc- S49 membranes by in vitro translated Gs alpha. Membrane anchorage and functional implications 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
After ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin which promotes dissociation of the subunits, the alpha-subunit of Gs (Gs alpha) remained strongly associated with plasma membranes of wild-type S49 cells, since its interaction with the membrane was insensitive to 1 M KCl. Its association with the membrane was partially disrupted by 6 M urea and totally abolished by treatment with alkali at pH greater than or equal to 11.5. In vitro translated Gs alpha could interact with plasma membranes from the cyc- mutant of S49 cells as revealed by its cosedimentation with the membrane fraction and incubation of reconstituted membranes with GTP gamma S did not alter anchorage of Gs alpha. The characteristics of the association of in vitro translated Gs alpha with cyc- membranes after GTP gamma S treatment, i.e. sensitivity to 1 M KCl, 6 M urea and alkali treatment, were very similar to those described for the ADP-ribosylated form in wild-type membranes. Restoration of the coupling between the adrenergic receptor and adenylate cyclase further confirmed the vectorial reconstitution of cyc- membranes by in vitro translated alpha-subunit of Gs. 相似文献

Expression of cDNAs for G proteins in Escherichia coli. Two forms of Gs alpha stimulate adenylate cyclase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Complementary DNAs that encode two forms of the alpha subunit (Gs alpha) of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein responsible for stimulation of adenylate cyclase (Gs) have been inserted into plasmid vectors for expression in Escherichia coli. Following transformation of either of these plasmids into E. coli K38, Gs alpha accumulates to 0.4-0.8 mg/liter (approximately 0.1% of total protein), as judged by immunoblot analysis with specific antisera. Based on deduced amino acid sequence, the two cDNAs should encode proteins with molecular weights of 44,500 and 46,000, respectively (Robishaw, J.D., Smigel, M. D., and Gilman, A. G. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9587-9590). Expression of these cDNAs in E. coli yields proteins that co-migrate on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with the Gs alpha subunits from S49 lymphoma cell membranes, with apparent molecular weights of 45,000 and 52,000, respectively. Low levels of activity are detected in the 100,000 X g supernatant after lysis and fractionation of E. coli expressing either form of Gs alpha. Partial purification of Gs alpha from E. coli lysates yields preparations in which significant and stable activity can be assayed. Both forms of Gs alpha migrate through sucrose gradients as soluble, monodisperse species in the absence of detergent. As expressed in E. coli, both forms of Gs alpha can reconstitute isoproterenol-, guanine nucleotide-, and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in S49 cyc-cell membranes to approximately the same degree and can be ADP-ribosylated with [32P]NAD+ and cholera toxin. However, based on the specific activity of purified rabbit liver Gs, only 1-2% of the Gs alpha expressed in E. coli appears to be active. Incubation of partially purified fractions of recombinant Gs alpha with guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate and resolved beta gamma subunits isolated from purified bovine brain G proteins results in a 7-10-fold increase in Gs activity. Incubation of bovine brain beta gamma with recombinant Gs alpha also leads to a dramatic increase in observed levels of cholera toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation. 相似文献

Many cells develop enhanced adenylate cyclase activity after prolonged exposure to drugs that acutely inhibit the enzyme and it has been suggested that this adaptation may be due to an increase in Gs alpha. We have treated wild-type and Gs alpha-deficient cyc- S49 mouse lymphoma cells with a stable analogue (SMS 201-995) of the inhibitory agonist somatostatin. After incubation with SMS for 24 h, the forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthetic rate in intact cyc- cells was increased by 76%, similar to the increase found in the wild-type cells. Forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of Mn2+ was also increased in membranes prepared from SMS-treated cyc- cells; however, guanine nucleotide-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity was not changed despite a small decrease in inhibitory Gi alpha subunits detected by immunoblotting. Pretreatment of cyc- cells with pertussis toxin prevented SMS from inducing the enhancement of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in intact cells. After chronic incubation of cyc- cells with SMS, exposure to N-ethylmaleimide, which abolished receptor-mediated inhibition of cAMP accumulation, did not attenuate the enhanced rate of forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthesis compared to N-ethylmaleimide-treated controls. These results with cyc- cells demonstrate that an adaptive increase in adenylate cyclase activity induced by chronic treatment with an inhibitory drug can occur in the absence of expression of Gs alpha. 相似文献

Alterations in components of adenylate cyclase associated with transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts by Rous sarcoma virus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Regulation of adenylate cyclase coincident with transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts by Rous sarcoma virus is manifest as a 10-50% decrease in basal, Mg2+-, and forskolin-stimulated activities; activities elicited by fluoride and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) are unaltered. The level of the catalytic component of adenylate cyclase, assessed with activated stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs), increases approximately 1.5-fold. The level of the beta subunit common to Gs and the inhibitory regulatory protein assessed by enzyme-linked immunotransfer blotting, increases 2.7-fold. The isoelectric behavior of the beta subunit is unaltered. The amount of radiolabel incorporated into the alpha subunit of Gs (Mr = 45,000) upon incubation of membranes with 32P-labeled NAD and cholera toxin increases 3-fold upon transformation. Detergent extracts prepared from membranes of untransformed and transformed fibroblasts nevertheless exhibit equivalent abilities to reconstitute fluoride-stimulated activities to membranes of the cyc-variant of mouse S49 lymphoma cells. Islet-activating protein catalyzes incorporation of radiolabel from 32P-labeled NAD into 39,000- and 41,000-dalton proteins; the extent of radiolabel incorporation does not change upon transformation. Modest alterations in the isoelectric behaviors of substrates for cholera toxin and islet-activating protein occur. 相似文献

We observed approximately 45-50 kD GLUT 1 protein in mouse lung homogenates and demonstrated a greater abundance in fetus compared to adult. In situ immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated GLUT 1 expression only in the perineural sheath of nerves. While the trapped fetal red blood cells expressed GLUT 1 abundantly, adult red blood cells were devoid of GLUT 1. No GLUT 1 was evident in fetal and adult lung alveolar and bronchiolar epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells and the lung mesenchymal elements. Thus, GLUT 1 is not the major lung glucose transporter. 相似文献

The mouse neuroblastoma cell line NB2A produces cellular and secreted acetylcholinesterase (AChE). After incubation of the cells for 4 days the ratio between AChE secreted into the medium and AChE in the cells was 1:1. The cell-associated enzyme could be subdivided into soluble AChE (25%) and detergent-soluble AChE (75%). Both extracts contained predominantly monomeric AChE (4.6S) and minor amounts of tetrameric AChE (10.6S), whereas the secreted AChE in the culture supernatant contained only the tetrameric form. All forms were partially purified by affinity chromatography. It could be demonstrated that the secretory and the intracellular soluble tetramers were hydrophilic, whereas the detergent-soluble tetramer was an amphiphilic protein. On the other hand the soluble and the detergent-soluble monomeric forms were amphiphilic and their activity depended on the presence of detergent. By digestion with proteinase K amphiphilic monomeric and tetrameric AChE could be converted to a hydrophilic form that no longer required detergent for catalytic activity. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of [3H]diisopropylfluorophosphate-labelled AChE gave one band at 64 kilodaltons (kD) under reducing conditions and two additional bands at 120 kD and 140 kD under nonreducing conditions. 相似文献

The inhibitory and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory components (Gi and Gs) of adenylate cyclase both have an alpha X beta subunit structure, and the beta subunits are functionally indistinguishable. GTP-dependent hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase and that caused by guanine nucleotide analogs seem to result from dissociation of the subunits of Gi. Such inhibition can be explained by reduction of the concentration of the free alpha subunit of Gs as a result of its interaction with the beta subunit of Gi in normal Gs-containing membranes. However, inhibition in S49 lymphoma cyc- cell membranes presumably cannot be explained by the Gi-Gs interaction, since the activity of the alpha subunit of Gs is not detectable in this variant. Several characteristics of Gi-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase have been studied in both S49 cyc- and wild type membranes. There are several similarities between inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotides and somatostatin in cyc- and wild type membranes. 1) Somatostatin-induced inhibition of the enzyme is dependent on GTP; nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs are also effective inhibitors. 2) The effect of guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) is essentially irreversible, and somatostatin accelerates GTP gamma S-induced inhibition. 3) Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by somatostatin or Gpp(NH)p is attenuated by treatment of cells with islet-activating protein (IAP). 4) Both cyc- and wild type membranes contain the substrate for IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation (the alpha subunit of Gi). 5) beta Subunit activity in detergent extracts of membranes is liberated by exposure of the membranes to GTP gamma S. The alpha subunit of Gi in such extracts has a reduced ability to be ADP-ribosylated by IAP, which implies that this subunit is in the GTP gamma S-bound form. The resolved subunits of Gi have been tested as regulators of cyc- and wild type adenylate cyclase under a variety of conditions. The alpha subunit of Gi inhibits forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in cyc-, while the beta subunit stimulates; these actions are opposite to those seen with wild type membranes. The inhibitory effects of GTP plus somatostatin (or GTP gamma S) and the alpha subunit of Gi are not additive in cyc- membranes. In wild type, the inhibitory effects of the hormone and GTP gamma S are not additive with those of the beta subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

1. An ADP-ribosyltransferase activity which appears to be capable of activating adenylyl cyclase was identified in a plasma membrane fraction from rabbit corpora lutea and partially characterized by comparing the properties of the luteal transferase with those of cholera toxin. 2. Incubation of luteal membranes in the presence of GTP and varying concentrations of NAD resulted in concentration-dependent increases in adenylyl cyclase activity. 3. Stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by NAD and cholera toxin plus NAD was observed in the presence of GTP but not in the presence of guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) or guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate. 4. NAD or cholera toxin plus NAD reduced the Kact values for luteinizing hormone to activate adenylyl cyclase 3- to 3.5-fold. 5. NAD or cholera toxin plus NAD increased the extent to which cholate extracts from luteal membranes were able to reconstitute adenylyl cyclase activity in S49 cyc- mouse lymphoma membranes. 6. It was necessary to add ADP-ribose and arginine to the incubation mixture in order to demonstrate cholera toxin-specific ADP-ribosylation of a protein corresponding to the alpha subunit of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component (alpha Gs). 7. Treatment of luteal membranes with NAD prior to incubation in the presence of [32P]NAD plus cholera toxin resulted in reduced labeling of alpha Gs. 8. Endogenous ADP-ribosylation of alpha Gs was enhanced by Mg but was not altered by guanine nucleotide, NaF or luteinizing hormone and was inhibited by cAMP. 9. Incubation of luteal membranes in the presence of [32P]ADP-ribose in the absence and presence of cholera toxin did not result in the labeling of any membrane proteins. 相似文献
