The presence of specific Ang II receptors in membrane fractions was investigated using 125I-labeled homologous Ang II ([Asn1, Pro3, Ile5]Ang II; df Ang II) in Triakis scyllia. Specific binding sites occurred in a variety of tissues, with highest binding in interrenal tissue (17.11 +/- 2.45 fmol Ang II/mg protein) and gill (6.26 +/- 0. 69 fmol Ang II/mg protein) and possible Ang II receptors in rectal gland and other tissues. 125I-[Asn1, Pro3, Ile5]Ang II (10(-10)M) binding to branchial cell membrane fraction (25 microg protein) in 5 mM MgCl2, 125 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.2% bovine serum albumin at 28 degrees (1) is rapid and saturable; (2) increases as a function of membrane concentration and time; and (3) optimally fits to a two-site (high-and low-affinity) model. The equilibrium dissociation constant (0.11 +/- 0.01 nM) and binding site concentration (35.00 +/- 1.16 fmol/mg protein) are similar to those of mammalian and avian vascular Ang II receptors. Bound labeled ligand was not competitively displaced by dogfish Ang I, dogfish C-type natriuretic peptide, bradykinin, or the AT1 receptor antagonist, CV 11974. The AT2 receptor antagonist, CGP 42112, was much less potent at displacing the labeled ligand compared to the unlabeled ligand.

We have previously reported a neutral-pH gel system buffered with Bis-Tris hydrochloride (Bis-Tris-HCl) in Zn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE for advanced profiling of phosphoproteins with molecular masses of 10-200 kDa. In the current work, we describe characteristics of two neutral-pH gel systems, Bis-Tris-HCl and Tris-acetic acid (Tris-AcOH), based on comparative studies of the separation of a wide range of proteins with molecular masses from 10 to 350 kDa. For 10-200 kDa cellular proteins, the Bis-Tris-HCl system showed a higher resolving power in a 2-D fluorescence DIGE analysis of certain phosphoproteins, e.g. histone H3 (15 kDa) and elongation factor 2 (95 kDa). Furthermore, there was a large difference in the 1-D migration patterns of phosphorylated species of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2, 44/42 kDa), which arise from changes in the phosphorylation status of the Thr-202 and Tyr-204, in the two buffer systems at the same concentration of Zn(2+)-Phos-tag. In contrast, shifts in the mobility of various phosphorylated species of a high-molecular-mass protein, ataxia telangiectasia-mutated kinase (ATM, 350 kDa), could only be detected in the Tris-AcOH system with a 3% w/v polyacrylamide gel strengthened with 0.5% w/v agarose.

In this chapter, we provide a standard protocol for phosphate-affinity sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Zn2+-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE). This technique uses a dizinc(II) complex of the phosphate-binding molecule Phos-tag in conjunction with a neutral-pH gel system, Tris [tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane], and acetic acid (Tris-AcOH), to detect shifts in the mobility of phosphorylated ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase. This protocol, which employs a 3% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel strengthened with 0.5% (w/v) agarose, permits the separation of larger phosphoproteins with molecular masses in the order of 200 kDa over a period of approximately 4 h. Subsequently, multiple phosphorylated forms of high-molecular-mass ATM kinase (350 kDa) can be clearly detected via immunoblotting as multiple upshifted migration bands on the Zn2+-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE gel. The procedure described in this protocol requires a completion time of approximately 5 h from the beginning of gel preparation to the end of electrophoresis.
