Agonist binding to guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors in membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL-60) cells is inhibited by guanine nucleotides, most potently by the GTP analog guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S). In order to study whether GTP gamma S formed locally from adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (ATP gamma S) and GDP by nucleoside diphosphokinase has any advantage over exogenously added GTP gamma S in binding to and activating G proteins, regulation of complement component 5a (C5a) binding to its receptors, as well as formation of GTP gamma S, was studied in membranes of HL-60 cells. GTP gamma S added to HL-60 membranes potently inhibited binding of 125I-C5a (IC50 about 3 nM), an effect not influenced by addition of either GDP or ATP gamma S. When HL-60 membranes were incubated with the combination of ATP gamma S and GDP, a marked potentiation (up to 300-fold) of the inhibition caused by either GDP or ATP gamma S alone was observed. By measuring nucleoside diphosphokinase-catalyzed formation of GTP gamma S and inhibition of 125I-C5a binding in the presence of GDP and ATP gamma S under identical assay conditions, it was found that formed GTP gamma S inhibited binding of 125I-C5a with an IC50 value of about 0.3 nM, thus being about 10-fold more potent than exogenously added GTP gamma S. These data suggest that the GTP gamma S-forming nucleoside diphosphokinase is closely associated with the C5a receptor-G protein complex and channels the formed GTP gamma S into the G protein.

Differentiated human leukemia (HL 60) cells contain high numbers of receptors for the chemotactic factors, N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) and complement component 5a (C5a), both coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins). Agonist activation of either receptor stimulated binding of the GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to membrane G proteins and by a similar extent in a non-additive manner. The possible interaction of the two receptors was studied by measuring agonist binding to one receptor in the presence of the other receptor agonist. fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a had no effects on [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe receptor binding, respectively, when studied in the absence of regulatory ligands. Similarly, the inhibitory effects of NaCl and GDP on agonist receptor binding were not altered in the presence of the other receptor agonist. In contrast, in the presence of the GTP analogs, GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino] triphosphate, fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a reduced the binding of [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe, respectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. The potencies of the GTP analogs to inhibit binding of [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe was increased about 3-fold by fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a, respectively. The data presented suggest that fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a receptors share the same G protein pool in membranes of HL 60 cells and that activation of these G proteins by one of the two receptors decreases the availability of G proteins for the other receptor.

The vav proto-oncogene encodes a protein of unknown function that is rendered oncogenic by loss of a short N-terminal domain. A correction reported here to the vav sequence reveals that a central domain of some 230 amino acids is similar to the products of three genes: the human dbl oncogene, now known to encode a GDP-GTP exchange factor for the Ras-like polypeptide CDC42Hs; the CDC24 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which participates with CDC42Sc in organization of the cytoskeleton for budding; and the human bcr gene, which recombines with the abl oncogene in certain forms of leukemia. Furthermore, the N-terminal portion of Vav (and of CDC24) is similar to that of certain proteins that associate with filamentous structures. These similarities suggest that Vav, and perhaps also Bcr, may function as a GDP-GTP exchange factor for a Ras-like molecule such as CDC42Hs, and that its action may coordinate cytoplasmic architecture with the cell cycle. Reported evidence that the vav proto-oncogene is widely expressed in hematopoietic cells but not other cell types is extended here by detection of vav mRNA in 49 of 50 murine hematopoietic cell lines representing diverse hematopoietic lineages, and by in situ hybridization in embryos showing expression confined to the only hematopoietic tissue, fetal liver. Thus, like Dbl in other cell types, Vav may function throughout the hematopoietic compartment to govern a Ras-like signal transduction pathway.

Membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL 60) cells contain receptors for the chemotactic peptide, fMet-Leu-Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine), interacting with pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). Agonist activation of the receptors increases binding of the GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to membrane G proteins, at 30 degrees C only in the presence of exogenous GDP. In contrast, at 0 degrees C fMet-Leu-Phe stimulated binding of GTP[S] to G proteins maximally without addition of GDP. Under conditions resulting in marked degradation of membrane-bound GDP, control binding of GTP[S] measured at 0 degrees C was significantly increased, whereas the extent of agonist-stimulated binding was reduced. Furthermore, there was a rapid spontaneous release of membrane-bound GDP at 30 degrees C, but not at 0 degrees C. The data suggest that in intact membranes of HL 60 cells G proteins are initially in a GDP-liganded form, which state allows the receptor-induced exchange of bound GDP for GTP[S] at low temperature. In contrast, at or near physiological temperature, bound GDP is rapidly released (and degraded), resulting in unligated G proteins to which GTP[S] will bind independently of agonist-activated receptors.

Strong, albeit indirect, evidence suggests that a GTP-binding (G) protein(s) can act directly on the secretory machinery by a post-second messenger mechanism. The type and function of this putative Ge (exocytosis) protein were investigated in streptolysin-O-permeabilized rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells. The exocytotic response to calcium was first characterized both morphologically and biochemically using the release of preloaded [3H]serotonin as an index of exocytosis. Calcium-induced secretion (EC50 about 3 microM) in RBL cells requires ATP (EC50 about 2.5 mM) and is modulated by pH, the optimal value being 7.2. Another requirement for calcium-induced secretion is an activated G protein, since inactivators of G proteins such as GDP beta S (EC50 about 800 microM) inhibit the secretagogue effect of 10 microM free calcium. Conversely, GTP gamma S (EC50 about 1 microM) and other nonhydrolyzable analogs of GTP, which keep G proteins in a permanently active conformation, potentiate the effect of calcium. GTP gamma S alone is without effect. The effect of GTP gamma S on exocytosis is apparently not mediated by known second messengers, suggesting that a Ge protein is involved. Electron microscopic images show that in resting cells, secretory granules are clustered in the perinuclear area, whereas they become scattered upon calcium stimulation. A paradoxical effect of GTP gamma S is observed when applied during permeabilization; under these conditions, in fact, the nucleotide inhibits the subsequent secretory response to calcium. The scattering of granules is also inhibited. This effect of GTP gamma S is counteracted by coadministration of GTP. These responses to guanine nucleotides are typical of vectorially acting G proteins involved in protein synthesis and in intracellular vesicle transport. Taken together, the data presented suggest that calcium-dependent release requires a vectorially acting G protein controlling the movement of secretory granules. This and alternative models are discussed.

High-affinity agonist binding to formyl peptide receptors in membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL 60) cells is known to be regulated by guanine nucleotides, most potently by the GTP analog, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[S]). Here we analyzed whether nucleoside diphosphokinase present in these membranes and capable of forming GTP[S] from GDP and adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP[S]) can contribute to nucleotide regulation of agonist receptor binding. Using GDP and ATP[S] at concentrations causing by themselves only small reductions in receptor binding of the labelled formyl peptide, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine ([3H]FMLP), a marked potentiation (up to 30-fold) was observed when both nucleotides were combined. Under conditions in which the combination of GDP and ATP[S] induced 70-90% of maximal inhibition of [3H]FMLP binding, a total concentration of about 7 nM GTP[S] formed was measured. The synergistic effect of GDP and ATP[S] on [3H]FMLP binding was not seen in the presence of UDP (1 mM), which blocked formation of GTP[S] from GDP and ATP[S]. Furthermore, no potentiation was observed when instead of GDP and ATP[S], guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) and adenylyl-5'-imidodiphosphate, respectively, were used. Finally, regulation of [3H]FMLP binding by ATP[S] plus GDP (or GTP) was a time-dependent process, reaching maximal inhibition after 20-30 min of incubation at 25 degrees C. The data indicate that nucleoside diphosphokinase present in membranes of HL 60 cells can transfer the thiophosphate group of ATP[S] to GDP leading to formation of GTP[S] and that the GTP[S] thus formed efficiently binds to G proteins interacting with formyl peptide receptors and thereby regulates their agonist binding affinity.

Previously, we reported that the isoprenoid pathway inhibitor, lovastatin, blocks the activation by IgE receptor cross-linking of 45Ca2+ influx, 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate production, secretion, and membrane changes (ruffling, spreading) in intact RBL-2H3 rat basophilic leukemia cells. These results indicated that an isoprenoid pathway intermediate, very likely an isoprenylated protein, is importantly involved in the control of IgE receptor-mediated signal transduction. Here, we show that 20 h of pretreatment with lovastatin also inhibits antigen-induced secretion and membrane responses in streptolysin O-(SLO)-permeabilized cells. However, lovastatin does not inhibit secretion stimulated by the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, GTP gamma S. Furthermore, the membrane responses to GTP gamma S persist, although in an attenuated form, in lovastatin-treated permeabilized cells. The relative insensitivity of GTP gamma S-induced responses to lovastatin was one of several indications that antigen and GTP gamma S may activate separate pathways leading to transmembrane responses in permeabilized cells. Further experiments showed that the beta-thio derivative of GDP, GDPBAS, inhibits the secretory and membrane responses to GTP gamma S, as expected for a GTP-binding protein-dependent signaling pathway, while having little effect on antigen-induced responses. Conversely, genistein blocks the secretory and membrane responses to antigen, as expected for a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway, without altering the GTP gamma S-induced responses. From these results, and from additional data from cells treated with tyrphostins and sodium orthovanadate, we propose that IgE receptor-mediated secretion from permeabilized RBL-2H3 cells occurs by a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway that requires isoprenoid pathway activity for function. We propose further that RBL-2H3 cells contain a separate GTP-binding protein-mediated signaling pathway whose direct activation by GTP gamma S is either independent of isoprenoid pathway activity or depends on the activity of an isoprenylated protein that is not significantly depleted after 20 h of lovastatin treatment.

Receptors for the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMet, N-formylmethionine) are present in membranes of myeloid differentiated human leukemia (HL-60) cells and stimulate phospholipase C via a pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G-protein(s)]. We have developed methods for the assessment of formyl-peptide-receptor-stimulated binding of radiolabeled guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate ([35S]GTP[S]) to native HL-60 membranes. Agonist stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] association with the membrane was minimal (less than or equal to 20%) when GTP[S] was the sole nucleotide present in the incubation medium. In contrast, receptor activation led to a marked (up to sixfold) stimulation of [35S]GTP[S] binding when GDP or GTP were present in high (greater than 100-fold) excess of [35S]GTP[S]. The increase in [35S]GTP[S] binding caused by the chemotactic agonist was strictly dependent on the presence of Mg2+ and was significantly increased by Na+. Agonist-independent binding of [35S]GTP[S] and the increase due to the chemotactic agonist were markedly attenuated by both pertussis and cholera toxin. Comparison of the number of chemotactic-peptide-sensitive [35S]GTP[S]-binding sites to the number of chemotactic peptide receptors present in HL-60 membranes provided direct evidence that a single formyl-peptide receptor is capable of catalyzing the binding of [35S]GTP[S] to, and thus the activation of, multiple (up to 20) G-proteins in native plasma membranes.

Myeloid differentiated human leukaemia (HL-60) cells contain a soluble phospholipase C that hydrolysed phosphatidylinositol 4.5-bisphosphate and was markedly stimulated by the metabolically stable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). Half-maximal and maximal (up to 5-fold) stimulation of inositol phosphate formation by GTP[S] occurred at 1.5 microM and 30 microM respectively. Other nucleotides (GTP, GDP, GMP, guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. ATP, adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, UTP) did not affect phospholipase C activity, GTP[S] stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation was inhibited by excess GDP, but not by ADP. The effect of GTP[S] on inositol phosphate formation was absolutely dependent on and markedly stimulated by free Ca2+ (median effective concn. approximately 100 nM). Analysis of inositol phosphates by anion-exchange chromatography revealed InsP3 as the major product of GTP[S]-stimulated phospholipase C activity. In the absence of GTP[S], specific phospholipase C activity was markedly decreased when tested at high protein concentrations, whereas GTP[S] stimulation of the enzyme was markedly enhanced under these conditions. As both basal and GTP[S]-stimulated inositol phosphate formation were linear with time whether studied at low or high protein concentration, these results suggest that (a) phospholipase C is under an inhibitory constraint and (b) GTP[S] relieves this inhibition, most likely by activating a soluble GTP-binding protein.

The anti-proliferative activity of S-D-lactoylglutathione is of interest since it has a low toxicity to differentiated and non-malignant proliferating tissues, and its mechanism of action appears to be dissimilar to other anti-proliferative agents. Addition of uridine completely and addition of cytidine partially prevented S-D-lactoylglutathione-induced growth inhibition of human leukaemia 60 (HL60) cells in vitro. Other nucleosides had no significant effect. The concentrations of UTP, CTP, UDP and also ATP, ADP, GTP and GDP decreased in S-D-lactoylglutathione-treated HL60 cells, whereas the concentration of UDP-N-acetylhexosamine (UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine + N-acetyl-galactosamine) increased, prior to cell death. This suggests that the anti-proliferative effects of S-D-lactoylglutathione are mediated by inhibition of uridylate synthesis.
