Abstract: | The specific binding protein for prostaglandin (PG) E2 solubilized from porcine brain was sensitive to guanine nucleotides. GTP inhibited the association and enhanced the dissociation of the specific [3H]PGE2 binding. Scatchard analyses showed that GTP (10 microM) decreased the binding affinity more than 3-fold without major change in the number of binding site. Gel filtration separated the binding site from GTP-regulatory component (N). The separated binding protein had a reduced affinity to PGE2 and lost its sensitivity to GTP. The addition of the separated N restored its responsiveness to GTP, and also increased the binding affinity to the original level. These results provide direct evidence for the molecular interaction between the PGE2 binding protein and N in the brain. |
