Analogs of ATP and ADP produce a guanine nucleotide-dependent activation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte membranes with pharmacological properties consistent with those of a P2y-purinergic receptor (Boyer, J. L., Downes, C. P., and Harden, T.K. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 884-890). This study describes the interaction of adenosine-5'-O-2-thio[35S] diphosphate ([35S]ADP beta S) with this putative P2y-purinergic receptor on purified plasma membranes prepared from turkey erythrocytes. In binding assays performed at 30 degrees C, the association rate constant of [35S] was 1.1 x 10(7) M-1 min-1 and the dissociation rate constant was 3.8 x 10(-2) min-1. [35S]ADP beta S bound with high affinity (Kd = 6-10 nM) to an apparently homogeneous population of sites (Bmax = 2-4 pmol/mg protein). ATP and ADP analogs (2-methylthio ATP, ADP beta S, ATP, ADP, 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate, alpha, beta-methylene adenosine-5'-triphosphate, and beta, gamma-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate) inhibited the binding of [35S]ADP beta S with properties consistent with ligand interaction by simple law of mass action kinetics at a single site. The rank order of potency for inhibition of [35S]ADP beta S binding was identical to the potency order observed for these same agonists for stimulation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte ghosts. Guanine nucleotides inhibited [35S]ADP beta S binding in a noncompetitive manner with the following potency order: guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate greater than GTP = GDP greater than guanosine 5'-O-2-(thiodiphosphate). The data are consistent with the idea that [35S]ADP beta S may be used to radiolabel the P2y-purinergic receptor linked to activation of phospholipase C in turkey erythrocyte membranes. In addition, interaction of radiolabeled agonist with the receptor is modified by guanine nucleotides, providing evidence that an agonist-induced receptor/guanine nucleotide regulatory protein complex may be involved in P2y-receptor action.

Membranes prepared from [3H]inositol-labeled turkey erythrocytes express a phospholipase C that is markedly stimulated by stable analogs of GTP (Harden, T. K., Stephens, L., Hawkins, P. T., and Downes, C. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9057-9061). We now report that P2-purinergic receptor-mediated regulation of the enzyme occurs in the membrane preparation. The order of potency of a series of ATP and ADP analogs for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation, i.e. 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate (2MeSATP) greater than adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) greater than adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than ATP greater than 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate approximately ADP greater than alpha, beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate greater than beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate, was consistent with that for the P2Y-purinergic receptor subtype. Agonist-stimulated effects were completely dependent on the presence of guanine nucleotide. Activation of phospholipase C by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) occurred with a considerable time lag. The rate of activation followed first order kinetics and was markedly increased by increasing concentrations of a P2Y receptor agonist; in contrast, the rate of activation at a fixed agonist concentration was independent of guanine nucleotide concentration. Addition of guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) prior to addition of agonist and GTP, 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), or GTP gamma S blocked in a concentration-dependent manner the stimulatory effect of guanine nucleotide. GDP beta S, added subsequent to preactivation of membranes with 2MeSATP and GTP gamma S or Gpp(NH)p had only small inhibitory effects on the rate of inositol phosphate production observed over the subsequent 10 min. In contrast, addition of GDP beta S to GTP-preactivated membranes resulted in a rapid return of enzyme activity to the basal state within 60 s. Taken together, the data are consistent with the idea that P2Y receptor activation increases the rate of exchange of GTP and GTP analogs for GDP on the relevant guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. Once the active enzymic species is formed, hydrolysis of guanine nucleotide reverts the enzyme to the inactive state.

The GTP-binding proteins involved in signal transduction now constitute a large family of so called 'G proteins'. Among them, Gs and Gi mediate the stimulation and inhibition of adenyl cyclase, respectively. Recently, another G protein (Go) abundant in brain was purified, but its function is still unknown. Like other G proteins, Go is a heterotrimer (alpha, beta, gamma) and the beta-gamma subunits seem to be identical to those of Gs and Gi. The alpha subunit of Go (Go-alpha) has a molecular weight of 39 kDa lower than those of Gi (41 kDa) or Gs (45-52 kDa). A positive immunoreativity with antibodies against Go-alpha was found in peripheral nervous tissues, adrenal medulla, heart, adenohypophysis and adipocytes. Go ressembles Gi in its ability to be ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin, and sequence analysis reveals a 68% homology between their alpha subunits. The GTPase activity of Go is several times higher than that of Gi. The affinity of the beta-gamma entity is about 3 times higher for Gi than for Go. In reconstitution studies, Go does not mimic the inhibitory effect of Gi on adenyl cyclase-stimulated by Gs. On the contrary, Go is as efficient as Gi in reconstituting the functional coupling with the muscarinic, alpha 2-adrenergic and chemotactic agent f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), receptors. Recent studies seem to rule out Go as the coupling G protein of phospholipase C, the enzyme involved in phosphatidyl inositol trisphosphate hydrolysis. However, Go remains a putative candidate for transduction mechanisms coupled to a potassium channel or to a voltage-dependent calcium channel.

The release of plasma-membrane-bound enzymes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C obtained from Bacillus thuringiensis was investigated. Among the ectoenzymes of plasma membrane tested, alkaline phosphodiesterase I was released markedly from rat kidney cortex slices, in addition to alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase. Other membrane-bound enzymes; alanine aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, esterase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase could not be liberated from the treated slices. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I was released linearly from rat kidney slices with the concentration of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, but little enzyme was released from rat liver slices. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I separated from kidney tissue with n-butanol still retained phosphatidylinositol and was transformed into a lower molecular weight form by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. This suggests an important function for phosphatidylinositol in the binding of alkaline phosphodiesterase I to the plasma membrane of rat kidney cells. The alkaline phosphodiesterase I released from rat kidney had a molecular weight of about 240,000 and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.4. The enzyme hydrolyzed the phosphodiester linkage of p-nitrophenyl-thymidine 5'-monophosphate at pH 8.9 and had a Km value of 0.3 mM. The enzyme was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+, but was inhibited by EDTA. Strong inhibition took place on the addition of adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate or the nucleotide pyrophosphates, i.e., UDP-galactose and alpha, beta-methylene ATP.

Reversible ligands were attached covalently to membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo marmorata by a method which is generally applicable and does not require the synthesis of specially designed molecules. UV irradiation of the receptor in the presence of [3H]trimethisoquin, [3H]phencyclidine, or [3H]perhydrohistrionicotoxin resulted in the labeling of the binding site(s) for these noncompetitive blockers of the permeability response. The labeling of the delta chain was enhanced by carbamoylcholine, and this increase was blocked by snake alpha-toxins. The effect of carbamoylcholine on [3H]trimethisoquin binding was more pronounced than with the other two noncompetitive blockers; in all instances, the labeling was abolished by unlabeled histrionicotoxin. These three compounds therefore interact with the high-affinity site for noncompetitive blockers. Incorporation of radioactivity also occurred into the alpha chain but either was insensitive to cholinergic effectors or decreased in the presence of carbamoylcholine (or snake alpha-toxin), probably as a result of an interaction with the acetylcholine-binding site. In contrast to the other noncompetitive blockers tested, [3H]chlorpromazine heavily labeled the four receptor polypeptides (alpha, beta, gamma, delta), and this labeling also was enhanced by carbamoylcholine and decreased by histrionicotoxin. These data indicate a contribution of the delta chain to the binding site(s) of several well-characterized noncompetitive blockers and suggest that other receptor polypeptides may also contribute to this binding.

ATP produced whole-cell potassium currents in cultured endothelial cells of the bovine brain cortical arteries. P2 purinoceptor agonists evoked similar currents with the order of their potency: 2-methylthio ATP > ATP >> alpha, beta-methylene ATP > or = UTP > or = ADP >> AMP. ATP-evoked currents were inhibited by GDP beta S, but not by pertussis toxin (PTX). Furthermore, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, protein kinase C inhibitor, or cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor had no effect on the currents. In addition to these effects, ATP enhanced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+, and this [Ca2+]i increase was not inhibited by a PLC inhibitor. These results, thus, provide an indication that ATP activates the potassium channel and enhances [Ca2+]i via a P2Y purinoceptor linked to a PTX-insensitive G-protein, which is not involved in a PLC-mediated signaling pathway.

The role of extracellular nucleotides in intracellular signalling and neurosecretion was assessed in PC12 cells. Activation of phospholipase C and increased [Ca2+]i were mediated by purinoceptors with an agonist potency profile, ATP approximately UTP > 2-methylthioadenosine triphosphate (2-MeSATP), typical of P2U. ATP also evoked a rapid acidification followed by a more gradual alkalinization (measured with 2',7'-biscarboxyethyl-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF)), while UTP induced only a gradual alkalinization. The amiloride analogue 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA) attenuated the alkalinization phase suggesting activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger by ATP and UTP. Using bisoxonol and [3H]tetraphenylphosphonium ([3H]TPP+) as potential-sensitive probes, we showed that while ATP rapidly depolarized PC12 cells in an Na(+)-dependent manner, UTP evoked a much reduced and delayed response. The potency profile (ATP approximately 2-MeSATP approximately adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S) >> UTP, alpha, beta-methyleneATP) suggested involvement of a receptor subtype distinct from P2U. Secretion of endogenous dopamine was also assessed. Those nucleotides that induced depolarization (ATP, 2-MeSATP, ATP gamma S) were also the most potent secretagogues. UTP was ineffective. Our results suggest that ATP stimulates distinct purinoceptor subtypes and induces neurosecretion through the activation of multiple signalling pathways.

Recent studies have helped to define the earliest events of signal transduction in platelets, particularly those involved in the generation of second messengers. The best-understood of these events are those which involve guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins. G proteins are heterotrimers comprised of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, each of which can exist in multiple forms. Some, but not all, of the known variants of G alpha are substrates for ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin, a modification which disrupts the flow of information from receptor to effector. The G proteins that have been identified in platelets to date are Gs, Gi1, Gi2, Gi3, Gz and Gq. Gs and one or more of the Gi family members regulate cAMP formation by adenylylcyclase. Gi may also be responsible for the pertussis toxin-sensitive activation of phospholipase C which occurs when platelets are activated by thrombin. Gq is thought to be responsible for the pertussis toxin-resistant activation of phospholipase C by TxA2. Gz does not have an established role, but has the unique property of being phosphorylated by protein kinase C during platelet activation. Recent efforts to clone the receptors that interact with G proteins in platelets have been successful for epinephrine, thrombin, TxA2 and platelet activating factor. Each of these resembles other G protein-coupled receptors, being comprised of a single polypeptide with 7 transmembrane domains. In the case of thrombin, receptor activation is thought to involve a unique mechanism in which thrombin cleaves its receptor, creating a new N-terminus that can serve as a tethered ligand. Peptides corresponding to the tethered ligand can mimic the effects of thrombin, while antibodies to the same domain inhibit platelet activation. Shortly after activation, thrombin receptors become resistant to re-activation by thrombin. This desensitization, which appears to be due to a combination of proteolysis, phosphorylation and internalization, provides a potential mechanism for limiting the duration of thrombin-initiated signals in platelets.

We have compared the characteristics of receptors for nucleotide analogues and the involvement of phospholipase C (PLC) in the effector mechanism in NG108-15 neuroblastoma and C6 glioma cells. The relative potency of these analogues to stimulate inositol phosphate (IP) formation is UTP > UDP >> 2-methylthio-ATP (2-MeSATP), GTP > ATP, CTP > ADP > UMP in NG108-15 cells and ATP > UTP > ADP > GTP > UDP >> 2Me-SATP, CTP, UMP, in C6 glioma cells. alpha, beta-Methylene-ATP, beta, gamma-methylene-ATP, AMP, and adenosine had little or no effect in both types of cells. The EC50 values were 3 and 106 microM for UTP in NG108-15 and C6 glioma cells, respectively. The EC50 value for ATP in C6 glioma cells was 43 microM. 2-MeSATP was threefold more potent than ATP in NG108-15 cells but had little effect in C6 glioma cells at 1 mM. In NCB-20 cells, a similar rank order of potency to that found in NG108-15 cells, i.e., UTP >> GTP > ATP > CTP, was observed. In both NG108-15 and C6 glioma cells, preincubation with ATP or UTP caused a pronounced cross-desensitization of subsequent nucleotide-stimulated IP production. ATP and UTP displayed no additivity in terms of IP formation at maximally effective concentrations. In contrast, endothelin-1, bradykinin, and NaF interacted in an additive manner with either nucleotide in stimulating PI hydrolysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Intracellular signal transduction involved in non-neuronal ATP release evoked by alpha, beta-methylene ATP and bethanechol was evaluated in guinea pig ileal longitudinal muscle segments. alpha, beta-methylene ATP (100 microM) and bethanechol (10 microM) evoked ATP released that reached a peak about 3 min after administration. The evoked release of ATP was markedly inhibited by neomycin and spermine, inhibitors of phospholipase C, but not by treatment with pertussis toxin. In addition, the release of ATP was almost completely suppressed by 1 mM Li+, an inhibitor of inositol monophosphatase. These inhibitors, however, did not affect the contractions of the tissue evoked by these agonists. Forskolin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, activators of adenylate cyclase and protein kinase C, respectively, failed to enhance the evoked release. The accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] in the muscle segments were enhanced about 2 min after the administration of alpha, beta-methylene ATP. In the presence of 1 mM Li+, however, the enhancement of Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation by the P2 agonist was no longer elicited. These findings suggest that the release of ATP by receptor stimulation may result mainly from the activation of phospholipase C, which is coupled to a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein and subsequent accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the smooth muscles. However, the discrepancy between the inhibitory effects of Li+ on the release of ATP and the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to be clarified in future studies.
