The influence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] on adenylate cyclase responsiveness in cultured osteoblastic cells was studied using a human osteosarcoma cell line SaOS-2. 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment had no effect on cell growth, cell protein and alkaline phosphatase activity. 1,25(OH)2D3 did not alter the basal production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in intact cells, but the cAMP formation in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH), isoproterenol (ISO) and cholera toxin was attenuated by 1,25(OH)2D3. The response to forskolin, however, was unaffected by 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Islet activating protein failed to modify these 1,25(OH)2D3 effect. In cell free experiments, 1,25(OH)2D3 showed similar effect--that is, PTH and ISO-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were attenuated, but forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase was unaffected. 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment had no effect on the kinetics of PTH binding to PTH receptor and on the ADP ribosylation of GTP stimulatory binding protein (Gs) in SaOS-2 cells. According to these results, 1,25(OH)2D3 appeared to change the coupling of Gs with adenylate cyclase, but does not affect receptor, Gs and adenylate cyclase themselves, nor GTP inhibitory binding protein.

The treatment of human platelets with the dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) revealed the presence of a 250 kDa protein which enhanced its GTP-binding activity. This protein was purified from platelet membranes by successive chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose, Ultrogel AcA34, Mono Q, HCA-hydroxyapatite, and TSK-3000SW columns. The positive cross-reaction of the 250 kDa protein with the anti-filamin antibody indicated that this protein is filamin or very close to it. The GTP gamma S-binding activity of this protein, when phosphorylated with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase), showed an over tenfold increase, with the specific activity being 3.6 nmol/mg protein. Dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated protein with alkaline phosphatase reduced the GTP gamma S-binding activity to the control untreated level.

The effect of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) on PtdIns and PtdIns(4)P kinase activities was measured in rat liver plasma membranes. The addition of [32P]ATP resulted in the rapid incorporation of 32P into PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2, with maximal levels reached within 30 s. GTP[S] (25-500 microM) increased the rate and magnitude of [32P]PtdIns(4)P and [32P]PtdIns(4,5)P2 formation by 50 and 120% respectively. Similar stimulatory effects were induced by guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate, GTP, GDP and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. The stimulation of PtdIns phosphorylation by GTP[S] occurred in the presence of 2 mM-EGTA, a condition which fully inhibited phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. GTP[S] did not stimulate phosphomonoesterase activity, and its action was not due to the binding of magnesium. However, the overall ATP-hydrolysing activity of the membrane preparation was inhibited by GTP[S] and the other guanine nucleotides. There was a direct correlation between the extent of this inhibition and the stimulation of polyphosphoinositide formation. The results indicate that stimulation of polyphosphoinositide formation by guanine nucleotides in rat liver plasma membranes can be accounted for by an inhibition of ATP hydrolysis. These data are inconsistent with a specific GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-mediated stimulation of PtdIns or PtdIns(4)P kinase.

In an attempt to determine whether the tightly bound Mg2+ found in purified tubulin in associated with the N-site GTP or the E-site GDP or GTP, we removed the E-site nucleotide by several means: (i) alkaline phosphatase treatment; (ii) displacement using excess GMPPCP; and (iii) polymerizing tubulin in the presence of alkaline phosphatase and non-hydrolyzable analogues. The Mg2+ content remained equal to about 1 mol/mol tubulin under conditions where denaturation did not occur. Moreover, the Mg/GTP ratio always remained equal to 1. These results indicate that the Mg2+ is associated with the N-site GTP.

Complete replacement of the nucleotide on the exchangeable binding site of purified calf brain tubulin by the non-hydrolyzable GTP-analogue guanylyl-(beta,gamma-methylene)diphosphonate (GMPPCP) has been achieved by treatment of tubulin-GDP with phosphodiesterase-free alkaline phosphatase. GMPPCP binds to tubulin with a low affinity relative to GTP or GDP. Binding of the analogue is linked to magnesium ion concentration and, like the binding of other guanine nucleotides, is promoted by high concentrations of glycerol. The complex of pure tubulin and GMPPCP readily assembles at 37 degrees C into microtubules or curled ribbons of protofilaments, depending on buffer composition. Assemblies are cold-reversible at 0-2 degrees C, and multiple reversible assemblies can be observed during repeated heating/cooling cycles.

In an open, exploratory study, the safety of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) was investigated. Seven patients in stages I to III and two patients in stage IV were treated for 1 year with 1 g/day of UDCA. Clinical symptoms, and alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alanine aminotransferase (GOT) and aspartate aminotransferase (GTP) levels improved significantly within three months and remained at the lower levels for the period of observation. Results of the galactose elimination capacity (4.7 +/- S.D. 1.4 mg/min per kg) and the aminopyrine breath test (0.60 +/- 0.33% dose/kg per mmol CO2) remained unchanged for 1 year. In all patients total serum bile acids increased and quantitatively UDCA became the most important bile acid. In patients in stages I to III this increase, however, was modest, whereas in patients in stage IV, total serum bile acids reached levels of 140 and 157 mumol/l and UDCA, levels of 90 and 103 mumol/l, respectively. It is concluded that UDCA appears to be safe only in stages I to III and that prognostic stratification based on bile acid levels or on the histological stage of the disease should be an important aspect of controlled clinical trials.

Isolated purified plasma membrane domains from unstimulated human neutrophils were photoaffinity labeled with F-Met-Leu-Phe-N epsilon-(2-(p-azido-[125I]salicylamido)ethyl- 1,3'-dithiopropionyl)-Lys also referred to as FMLPL-SASD[125I]. Most of the photoaffinity-labeled N-formyl peptide receptors were found in light plasma membrane fraction (PM-L) which has been previously shown to be enriched in guanyl nucleotide binding proteins and the plasma membrane marker alkaline phosphatase (Jesaitis, A. J., G. M. Bokoch, J. O. Tolley, and R. A. Allen. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 107:921-928). Furthermore, the heavy plasma membrane fraction (PM-H), which is enriched in actin and fodrin, was depleted in receptors. Solubilization of PM-L and PM-H in divalent cation-free buffer containing octylglucoside and subsequent sedimentation at 180,000 g in detergent-containing sucrose gradients revealed two receptor forms. The major population, found in PM-L sedimented as a globular protein with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 6-7S, while a minor fraction found in the PM-H fraction sedimented as a 4S particle. In addition, the 6-7S form could be converted to the 4S form by inclusion of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) in the extraction buffer (ED50 = 10-30 nM). ATP was not effective at doses of up to 10 microM. In contrast, isolation and solubilization of receptors from desensitized cells (photoaffinity labeled after a 15 degrees C incubation with FMLPL-SASD[125I]) revealed that the majority of receptors (greater than 60-90%), which are found in PM-H, sedimented as 4S particles. A minor fraction of receptors found in the PM-L sedimented as 6-7S species. The receptors in the PM-H fraction, however, were still capable of interacting with G-proteins, since addition of unlabeled PM-L membrane fraction as a G-protein source reconstituted a more rapidly sedimenting form showing sensitivity to GTP gamma S. These results suggest that receptors in unstimulated human neutrophils have a higher probability of interacting with G-proteins because they are in the light plasma membrane domain. The results also suggest that receptors that have been translocated to the heavy plasma membrane domain during the process of desensitization or response termination have a lower probability of interacting with G-protein. Since the latter receptors are still capable of forming G protein associations, then their lateral segregation would represent a mechanism of controlling of receptor G-protein interactions. This reorganization of the plasma membrane, therefore, may form the molecular basis for response termination or homologous desensitization in human neutrophils.

Incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in membranes isolated from rat brain was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner by the GTP analogue guanosine 5'-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S). In contrast, neither the labeling of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in the same membranes nor PIP kinase activity in the soluble fraction were stimulated by GTP gamma S. Synthesis of [32P]PIP2 was not stimulated by GTP, GDP, GMP, or ATP; however, the stimulatory effects of GTP gamma S were antagonized by GTP, GDP, and guanosine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S). The nucleotide-stimulated labeling of PIP2 was not due to protection of [gamma-32P] ATP from hydrolysis, activation of PIP2 hydrolysis by phospholipase C, or inhibition of PIP2 hydrolysis by its phosphomonoesterase. Therefore, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate kinase activity in brain membranes may be regulated by a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. This system may enhance the resynthesis of PIP2 following receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C.

We have purified and characterized two kinds of GTP-binding proteins with Mr of 22,000 in human platelet membrane (main; m22KG(I), minor; m22KG(II)) (Nagata, K. and Nozawa, Y. (1988) FEBS Lett. 238, 90-94). In this study, the main GTP-binding protein (m22KG(I)) was found to be phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase), but not by protein kinase C. About 0.5 mol of phosphate was maximally incorporated into one mol of the protein and this phosphorylation was inhibited in the presence of A-kinase inhibitor. Phosphorylation of m22KG(I) did not alter either its GTP-binding or GTPase activity. When m22KG(I) was incubated alone or in the presence of 100 microM guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) and then exposed to A-kinase, no significant changes in the level of phosphorylation were observed. On the other hand, the most abundant GTP-binding protein with Mr of 21,000 (c21KG) in human platelet cytosol, which was identified as a transformation suppressor gene product (rap 1 protein, smg p21 and Krev-1 protein), was not phosphorylated by A-kinase under the same condition. However, c21KG was phosphorylated by A-kinase after pretreatment with alkaline phosphatase.

The breakdown of exogenously added [3H]inositol-labeled phosphoinositides by rat brain cortical membranes was stimulated by the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol. The stimulation required the presence of guanine nucleotide. Optimal conditions were similar to those described for guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) + carbachol stimulation of phosphoinositide breakdown in [3H]inositol-prelabeled brain membranes (Claro, E., Garcia, A., and Picatoste, F. (1989) Biochem J. 261, 29-35). Carbachol stimulated [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) breakdown was inhibited by atropine and guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiobisphosphate). The magnitude of the stimulation of exogenous PIP2 breakdown by carbachol and GTP gamma S (2- to 3-fold) was little affected over a PIP2 concentration range of 0.03-100 microM. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) was as good a substrate at all concentrations as PIP2 for carbachol stimulation of phospholipase C activity. There was appreciable phosphomonoesterase degradation of PIP to phosphatidylinositol (PI) over 10 min. There was also some conversion of added PIP to PIP2 in the presence of added ATP. The effect of calcium on PIP breakdown was similar to that on PIP2 breakdown, with an apparent EC50 for Ca2+ stimulation of 0.74 and 0.72 microM, respectively, under basal conditions. The stimulation of PIP2 and PIP breakdown by carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S was greatest on a percentage basis at the lowest free Ca2+ concentrations. Above 1 microM free Ca2+, the stimulatory effect was lost, whereas 10 microM free Ca2+ gave a maximal stimulation of basal phospholipase C activity. Degradation of added PI was also stimulated by carbachol in the absence of ATP. PI breakdown had an EC50 for Ca2+ stimulation of 1.07 microM. The best stimulation of PI breakdown due to carbachol plus GTP gamma S was seen with 0.3 microM free Ca2+ and 100 microM PI. Maximal activation of PI breakdown was seen at 1 mM deoxycholate as was true for PIP2 and PIP breakdown. There was little effect, even of 30 microM GTP gamma S alone or of carbachol alone, on PI breakdown. Half-maximal activation of the carbachol response required only 0.2 microM GTP gamma S. These results indicate that the phospholipase C enzyme(s) activated by carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S in rat brain cortical membranes can degrade PIP2, PIP, and PI to inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol.
