ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake was investigated in purified plasma membranes from rat pancreatic acinar cells. Plasma membranes were purified by four subsequent precipitations with MgCl2 and characterized by marker enzyme distribution. When compared to the total homogenate, typical marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, (Na+,K+)-ATPase, basal adenylate cyclase and CCK-OP-stimulated adenylate cyclase were enriched by 43-fold, 44-fold, and 45-fold, respectively. The marker for the rough endoplasmic reticulum was decreased by fourfold compared to the total homogenate. Comparing plasma membranes with rough endoplasmic reticulum, Ca2+ uptake was maximal with 10 and 2 mumol/liter free Ca2+, and half-maximal with 0.9 and 0.5 mumol/liter free Ca2+. It was maximal at 3 and 0.2 mmol/liter free Mg2+ concentration, at an ATP concentration of 5 and 1 mmol/liter, respectively, and at pH 7 for both preparations. When Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ or Zn2+ ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was 63 and 11%, respectively, in plasma membranes; in rough endoplasmic reticulum only Mn2+ could replace Mg2+ for Ca2+ uptake by 20%. Other divalent cations such as Ba2+ and Sr2+ could not replace Mg2+ in Ca2+ uptake. Ca2+ uptake into plasma membranes was not enhanced by oxalate in contrast to Ca2+ uptake in rough endoplasmic reticulum which was stimulated by 7.3-fold. Both plasma membranes and rough endoplasmic reticulum showed cation and anion dependencies of Ca2+ uptake. The sequence was K+ greater than Rb+ greater than Na+ greater than Li+ greater than choline+ in plasma membranes and Rb+ greater than or equal to K+ greater than or equal to Na+ greater than Li+ greater than choline+ for rough endoplasmic reticulum. The anion sequence was Cl greater than or equal to Br greater than or equal to 1 greater than SCN greater than NO3 greater than isethionate greater than cyclamate greater than gluconate greater than SO2(4) greater than or equal to glutarate and Cl- greater than Br greater than gluconate greater than SO2(4) greater than NO3 greater than 1 greater than cyclamate greater than or equal to SCN, respectively. Ca2+ uptake into plasma membranes appeared to be electrogenic since it was stimulated by an inside-negative K+ and SCN diffusion potential and inhibited by an inside-positive diffusion potential. Ca2+ uptake into rough endoplasmic reticulum was not affected by diffusion potentials. We assume that the Ca2+ transport mechanism in plasma membranes as characterized in this study represents the extrusion system for Ca2+ from the cell that might be involved in the regulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ level.

We have examined the inhibitory regulation by Ca2+ of the adenylate cyclase activity associated with microsomes isolated from bovine aorta smooth muscle. In the presence of 2 mM MgCl2, Ca2+ (0.8-100 microM) inhibited in a noncompetitive manner activation of the enzyme by GTP, Gpp[NH]p, or forskolin. In all instances the value for half-maximal inhibition was between 2 and 3 microM. In contrast, Ca2+ inhibited the activation by MgCl2 (2-50 mM), alone or in the presence of GTP, in a competitive manner. The inhibition of adenylate cyclase by 10 microM Ca2+ was reversed in the presence of either 5 or 25 microM calmodulin or troponin C. These data show that (i) Ca2+, at concentrations similar to those which activate smooth muscle contraction, inhibits the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by several activators; (ii) Ca2+ and Mg2+ compete for a common site on the smooth muscle adenylate cyclase complex; and (iii) the reversal of Ca2+-dependent inhibition by Ca2+-binding proteins may be produced by chelation of the metal by these proteins.

High affinity binding sites for [3H]forskolin have been identified in rat brain membranes. These sites have a Kd of 15 nM and a Bmax of about 200 fmol/mg protein. The binding of [3H]forskolin to those high affinity sites in rat brain membranes is increased about two-fold by addition of MgCl2 or MnCl2. Smaller increases are observed in the presence of calcium, sodium, or potassium. The binding of [3H]forskolin is also increased in the presence of NaF or GppNHp, agents that are known to activate adenylate cyclase through the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (Ns). The increase in [3H]forskolin binding in the presence of NaF or GppNHp is due to an increase in the number of binding sites with no change in the apparent Kd for the binding sites. The NaF- and GppNHp-stimulated binding requires the presence of magnesium or manganese. The binding of [3H]forskolin to rat brain membranes is reduced in membranes that are heated or pretreated with chymotrypsin, trypsin, or N-ethylmaleimide. NaF stabilizes the binding sites to thermal denaturation. The data demonstrate that the number of high affinity forskolin binding sites are increased under conditions that promote the activation of the catalytic protein of adenylate cyclase by the Ns protein. It is suggested that the high affinity forskolin binding sites are associated with a complex of the catalytic protein and the activated Ns protein.

The stimulatory GTP-binding protein (Gs) of adenylate cyclase, purified from rabbit liver, and beta-adrenergic receptors, partially purified 1000-4000-fold from turkey erythrocyte plasma membranes, were coreconstituted into unilamellar phospholipid vesicles. The molar ratio of Gs to receptors in the vesicles varied from 3 to 10 in different preparations, as measured by guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thiotriphosphate) [( 35S]GTP gamma S) binding to Gs and [125I]iodocyanopindolol binding to receptors. Activation of reconstituted Gs by GTP gamma S was stimulated up to 10-fold by the addition of the beta-adrenergic agonist (-)-isoproterenol. Activation was assayed functionally by reconstitution with the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase. Because of the relative purity of this preparation, the quasi-irreversible binding of [35S]GTP gamma S could also be measured in the vesicles and was shown to parallel the functional activation of Gs under all conditions. Most of the assayable Gs in the vesicles could interact with the receptors and undergo agonist-stimulated activation. Agonist-stimulated activation and [35S]GTP gamma S binding were complete in less than 3 min, even under suboptimal conditions, and could go to completion in less than 20 s under maximal stimulation. Agonist-stimulated binding did not require appreciable free Mg2+ (less than 0.1 mM). Activation in the absence of agonist was stimulated by free Mg2+, but maximal activation took up to 10 min in the presence of 50 mM MgCl2. Reconstitution increased the stability of Gs to thermal denaturation. The addition of beta-adrenergic agonist further stabilized Gs, presumably by the formation of a stable agonist-receptor-Gs complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The stimulatory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase, Gs, and beta-adrenergic receptors were reconstituted into unilamellar phospholipid vesicles. The kinetics of the quasiirreversible binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to Gs, equivalent to Gs activation by nucleotide, was studied with respect to the stimulation of this process by beta-adrenergic agonists and Mg2+. The rate of GTP gamma S binding displayed apparent first-order kinetics over a wide range of nucleotide, agonist, and Mg2+ concentrations. In the absence of agonist, the apparent first-order rate constant, kapp, was 0.17-0.34 min-1 and did not vary significantly with the concentration of nucleotide. At 50 mM MgCl2, kapp increased somewhat, to 0.26-0.41 min-1, and remained invariant with the nucleotide concentration. In the presence of agonist, kapp was dependent on nucleotide concentration. At 10(-9) M GTP gamma S, the addition of (-)-isoproterenol caused at most a 2-fold stimulation of kapp. However, kapp measured in the presence of isoproterenol increased as an apparently saturable function of the GTP gamma S concentration, such that isoproterenol caused a 17-fold increase in kapp at 1 microM GTP gamma S. The effect of isoproterenol on kapp also appeared to saturate at high isoproterenol concentration, yielding a kapp approximately 6 min-1 at high concentrations of both nucleotide and agonist. These data suggest that the receptor-agonist complex acts by increasing the rate of conversion of a lower affinity Gs-GTP gamma S complex to the stable activated state.

1. A study has been made of the response to injected Gpp(NH)p of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux in barnacle muscle fibres preexposed to aldosterone. 2. The response to injected Gpp(NH)p is not only greater in size than in unexposed fibres but also sustained. 3. Injection of MgCl2 following peak stimulation causes a partial reversal of the response. 4. Injection of ATPNa2 (and 5'-App(NH)p) leads to a sustained stimulatory response which is not significantly greater than that seen in unexposed fibres. 5. MgCl2 injection causes complete reversal of this response. 6. The response of preexposed fibres to injected CaCl2 in varying concentration and to injected cholera toxin is not significantly different from that seen in unexposed fibres. 7. This is also true of Gpp(NH)p when it is injected after peak stimulation by cholera toxin. 8. Prior application of verapamil (10(-4)M) drastically reduces the response to injected Gpp(NH)p. 9. The residual response is sustained but markedly reduced by injected Mg2+, Fe or Zn. 10. Injection of PKI following Gpp(NH)p reduces the response, provided PKI is also injected before Gpp(NH)p. By contrast, injection of R11 subunits causes a partial reversal if injected only once. 11. Imipramine and trifluoperazine, when applied externally (5 X 10(-5)M), cause almost complete reversal of the response. 12. The suggestion is made that the response to injected Gpp(NH)p is mainly due to activation of Ca2+-channels resulting in activation of the calmodulin/Ca-dependent form of adenylate cyclase and that the primary site of aldosterone action is at the level of the calmodulin form of adenylate cyclase.

beta-Adrenergic receptors were partially purified from turkey erythrocyte membranes by alprenolol-agarose chromatography to 0.25-2 nmol/mg of protein, and the stimulatory guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Gs) was purified from rabbit liver. These proteins were reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles by addition of phospholipids and removal of detergent by gel filtration. This preparation hydrolyzes GTP to guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) plus inorganic phosphate (Pi) in response to beta-adrenergic agonists. The initial rate of isoproterenol-stimulated hydrolysis is approximately 1 mol of GTP hydrolyzed min-1 X mol-1 of Gs. This low rate may be limited by the hormone-stimulated binding of substrate, since it is roughly equal to the rate of binding of the GTP analogue guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S] thiotriphosphate) [( 35S]GTP gamma S) to Gs in the vesicles. Activity in the absence of agonist, or in the presence of agonist plus a beta-adrenergic antagonist, is 8-25% of the hormone-stimulated activity. Guanosinetriphosphatase (GTPase) is not saturated at 10 microM GTP, and the response to GTP is formally consistent either with the existence of multiple Km's or of a separate stimulatory site for GTP. The GTPase activity of Gs in vesicles is also stimulated by 50 mM MgCl2 in the presence or absence of receptor. Significant GTPase activity is not observed with Lubrol-solubilized Gs, although [35S]-GTP gamma S binding is increased by Lubrol solubilization.

[3H]Octopamine binds to a particulate preparation from heads of Drosophila melanogaster at a level of 0.5 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg protein, with an apparent dissociation constant of 6.0 +/- 0.9 x 10(-9) M at 26 degrees C. The binding is reduced or abolished by heat, trypsin, detergents, sulfhydryl reagents and EDTA. Low concentrations of MgCl2 or CaCl2 increase binding but high ionic strength is inhibitory. Low concentrations of dihydroergotamine, phentolamine, clonidine, chlorimipramine and chlorpromazine, but not of serotonin and propranolol, displace the labeled biogenic amine from its binding sites. The stable GTP analogue, guanosine-5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), at the microM range, decreases the maximal number of the high-affinity [3H]octopamine-binding sites. The properties of the [3H]octopamine-binding sites are compared to the properties of octopamine receptors as revealed by stimulation of adenylate cyclase in insects, including Drosophila.

Incubation of rat liver plasma membranes with MgCl2, ATP, and an ATP-regenerating system at 4 degrees C provides a 4-7-fold persistent activation of adenylate cyclase. Enzyme activation is time-dependent and 48 h of incubation is usually required to achieve maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity. The activation described is not affected by GTP, cAMP, or cGMP, and does not occur when ATP is replaced by a nonphosphorylating analogue, adenyl-5'-imidodiphosphate. In addition to ATP, the activation requires Mg2+ and an ATP-regenerating system. The activation described is not additive with that produced by fluoride and analysis of basal and fluoride activities following extended incubation for 48 h reveals identical activities which decay at the same rate. These results are consistent with our model (11) which invokes phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanisms in regulating adenylate cyclase activity.

1. A study has been made of the mechanism by which injected disodium GTP stimulates the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux in single muscle fibres from the barnacle, Balanus nubilus. 2. Injection of GTPNa2 causes a stimulatory response which is usually transitory and almost completely reversed by injecting MgCl2 (but not KCl). 3. Injected 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate, Gpp(NH)p, mimics this action of GTP but the reversal seen with injected Mg2+ is less pronounced. 4. (i) Pre-treatment of these fibres with verapamil reduces the size of the stimulatory response to GTP and Gpp(NH)p. (ii) Pre-injection of protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) or regulatory subunits reduces the response as well. (iii) Pre-treatment with imipramine or trifluoperazine reduces the response to injected GTP; in combination with verapamil, a greater reduction in response is seen. 5. Injection of EDTA leads to a stimulatory response which is transitory. This response is largely abolished by verapamil. 6. Injection of cholera toxin leads to a sustained stimulatory rather than a transitory response. GTP or Gpp(NH)p when injected following peak stimulation by cholera toxin leads to a moderate sustained stimulation. 7. These results support the view that the stimulatory response to injected GTPNa2 is the result of activation of Ca2+ channels and of increased availability of GTPMg and that these two conditions bring about activation of adenylate cyclase and hence activation of cyclic AMP-protein kinase by newly formed cyclic AMP.
