Amounts of the guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins which are also pertussis toxin substrates (such as Ni and No) were measured in rat glioma, C6BU-1, cells and in neuroblastoma X glioma, NG108-15, hybrid cells. Measurements were performed both by quantitating pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation and by quantitative immunoblotting with affinity purified antibodies specific for Ni or No. The amounts of pertussis toxin substrate in C6 and NG108-15 cells are 7.5 and 0.6 pmol/mg membrane protein, respectively. These levels are minimum values and higher estimates of the total amounts of N proteins in the two cells are obtained by quantitative immunoblot analysis of the beta-subunit common to all N proteins. Immunoblots with specific antibodies show that NG108-15 cells contain 3.8 pmol/mg of No and detectable but small (less than 0.1 pmol/mg) amounts of Ni. In contrast, C6 cell membranes contain no detectable No and only 0.14 pmol/mg Ni. Thus, C6 cells contain large amounts of a pertussis toxin substrate which is neither Ni nor No.

Rat glioma C6 BU1 cells contain a pertussis toxin substrate of 40 kDa which does not appear to be identical with Gi,Go or transducin. The GTP analogue, GTP[gamma S], inhibited the rate of pertussis toxin-catalysed ADPribosylation of this protein, while the GDP analogue GDP[beta S] stimulated this reaction. A protein of the same kDa value was ADPribosylated by cholera toxin in the absence of added guanine nucleotides. It is suggested that this 40 kDa protein can be a substrate for both cholera and pertussis toxins under appropriate conditions.

A guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G protein), with subunits designated as alpha 40 beta gamma, was identified and partially resolved from two other purified G proteins, Go (alpha 39 beta gamma) and Gi (alpha 41 beta gamma), found in bovine brain. The alpha 40 G protein subunit served as a substrate for ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by Bordetella pertussis toxin, as did alpha 39 and alpha 41. alpha 40 was shown to be closely related to, but distinct from, alpha 41 by reaction with various peptide antisera. An antiserum generated against a peptide derived from the sequence of a Gi alpha clone isolated from a rat C6 glioma cDNA library (Itoh, H., Kozasa, T., Nagata, S., Nakamura, S., Katada, T., Ui, M., Iwai, S., Ohtsuka, E., Kawasaki, H., Suzuki, K., and Kaziro, Y. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 3776-3780) reacted with alpha 40 to the exclusion of all other alpha subunits tested. Another antiserum generated against a peptide derived from an analogous region of a different Gi alpha clone from a bovine brain cDNA library (Nukuda, T., Tanabe, T., Takahashi, H., Noda, M., Haga, K., Haga, T., Ichiyama, A., Kangawa, K., Hiranaga, M., Matsuo, H., and Numa, S. (1986) FEBS Lett. 197, 305-310) reacted exclusively with alpha 41. Evidence is given for the existence of another form of alpha 41 that did not react with either of these two peptide antisera. The antisera were used to survey various rat tissues for the expression of alpha 40 and alpha 41.

In purified G proteins from bovine brain cortex the ADP-ribosylated substrates of Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT) can be resolved in three polypeptides by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: a 39 kDa major substrate, corresponding to Go alpha and two others (40 and 41 kDa) assigned to alpha subunits of Gi-like proteins. These three polypeptides were also detected in membranes of normal cells or tissues from neuronal and endocrine origins. In contrast, in membranes from other origins, only two PT substrates at 41 and 40 kDa were resolved; the latter being the most abundant ADP-ribosylated substrate in human platelets and C6 glioma cells. In these cells, electrophoretic patterns of PT-radiolabeled proteolytic fragments derived from the 40 kDa peptide were different to those from the 39 and 41 kDa polypeptides of purified G proteins. However, isoelectrofocusing and two dimensional analyses showed that the 40 kDa and 39 kDa (but not the 41 kDa) PT substrate of purified G proteins exhibited similar isoforms.

NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells express a major 45 kDa substrate for cholera toxin and a 40 kDa substrate(s) for pertussis toxin when ADP-ribosylation is performed in the presence of GTP. In the absence of exogenous GTP, however, cholera toxin was shown to catalyse incorporation of radioactivity into a 40 kDa protein as well as into the 45 kDa polypeptide. In membranes of cells which had been pretreated in vivo with pertussis toxin, the 40 kDa band was no longer a substrate for either pertussis or cholera toxin in vitro, whereas in membranes from cholera-toxin-pretreated cells the 40 kDa band was still a substrate for fresh cholera toxin in vitro and for pertussis toxin. In this cell line, opioid peptides have been shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase exclusively by interacting with Gi (inhibitory G-protein) and with no other pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein. Opioid agonists, but not antagonists, promoted the cholera-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation of the 40 kDa polypeptide, hence demonstrating that this cholera-toxin substrate was indeed the alpha-subunit of Gi. These results demonstrate that Gi can be a substrate for either cholera or pertussis toxin under appropriate conditions.

The major pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein of rat glioma C6 BU1 cells corresponded immunologically to Gi2. Antibodies which recognize the alpha subunit of this protein indicated that it has an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa and a pI of 5.7. Incubation of membranes of these cells with guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate, or other analogues of GTP, caused release of this polypeptide from the membrane in a time-dependent manner. Analogues of GDP or of ATP did not mimic this effect. The GTP analogues similarly caused release of the alpha subunit of Gi2 from membranes of C6 cells in which this G-protein had been inactivated by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. The beta subunit was not released from the membrane under any of these conditions, indicating that the release process was a specific response to the dissociation of the G-protein after binding of the GTP analogue. Similar nucleotide profiles for release of the alpha subunits of forms of Gi were noted for membranes of both the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line NG108-15 and of human platelets. These data provide evidence that: (1) pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins, in native membranes, do indeed dissociate into alpha and beta gamma subunits upon activation; (2) the alpha subunit of 'Gi-like' proteins need not always remain in intimate association with the plasma membrane; and (3) the alpha subunit of Gi2 can still dissociate from the beta/gamma subunits after pertussis-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation.

Inhibitory coupling of receptors to adenylate cyclase previously has been shown to be relatively sensitive to inactivation by alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Modification of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, has been proposed to be responsible for this effect. The effects of NEM on GTP-sensitive binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors has been compared in a cell line (1321N1 human astrocytoma cells) in which these receptors stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown and in a cell line (NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells) in which activation of these receptors results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells with NEM resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in the extent of pertussis toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of a 41 000 Da protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni. Under conditions where 32P-labelling of Ni in 1321N1 membranes was reduced by NEM by 90%, no effect was observed on the extent of guanine nucleotide-sensitive high-affinity binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors. In contrast, treatment of NG108-15 membranes with NEM under the same conditions resulted in complete loss of high-affinity guanine nucleotide sensitive binding of carbachol. These results illustrate another difference between the muscarinic receptor population of these two cell lines, and support the previous proposal that muscarinic receptors of 1321N1 cells couple to a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Ni.

Chronic etorphine treatment of neuroblastoma X glioma NG108-15 cells results in both an increase in adenylate cyclase activity (upon addition of the opiate antagonist naloxone) as well as an homologous desensitization of the opiate receptor. The continued ability of opiate agonists to regulate adenylate cyclase activity following opiate receptor desensitization can be understood by proposing that the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase in NG108-15 cells is under tonic regulation by both guanine nucleotide regulatory (Ni) and stimulatory (NS) components. Inactivation of Ni by pertussis toxin (PT) treatment resulted in elevated adenylate cyclase activities comparable to those observed in control cells following chronic opiate treatment. This increased enzymatic activity could not be further induced by PT treatment of cells exposed to opiate previously. In addition, procedures that prevented receptor-mediated activation of NS, i.e., treatment with NaF or desensitization of the stimulatory receptors (prostaglandin E1, adenosine) eliminated the increase in adenylate cyclase activity induced by naloxone following chronic opiate exposure. Hence, the increase in enzymatic activity observed following chronic opiate treatment may be due to a loss in tonic inhibitory regulation of adenylate cyclase mediated through Ni resulting in the unimpeded expression of NS activity. This tonic inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity is one of the multiple mechanisms by which Ni regulates adenylate cyclase in this cell line.

It has been proposed elsewhere [Meeker, R.B. & Harden, T. K. (1982) Mol. Pharmacol. 22, 310-319] that muscarinic cholinergic receptor-mediated attenuation of cAMP accumulation occurs through activation of phosphodiesterase in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein involved in receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Ni), has been utilized to further differentiate between the mechanism of cholinergic regulation of cAMP metabolism in 1321N1 cells and the mechanism involving inhibition of adenylate cyclase in other tissues. Muscarinic receptor-mediated regulation of cAMP accumulation in NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells occurs through inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of these cells with pertussis toxin completely blocked the capacity of carbachol to attenuate cAMP accumulation. In contrast, concentrations of pertussis toxin two to three orders of magnitude higher than those effective in NG108-15 cells had no effect on muscarinic receptor-mediated attentuation of cAMP accumulation in 1321N1 cells. In addition, no effect of pertussis toxin was observed either on the control rate or the carbachol-stimulated rate of cAMP degradation measured directly in intact 1321N1 cells. A 41,000 Mr protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni was labeled during incubation of a plasma membrane fraction from 1321N1 cells with [32P]NAD and pertussis toxin. Pertussis toxin is apparently active in 1321N1 cells, since this protein substrate was not labeled in plasma membrane preparations from cells previously incubated with toxin. Functional activity of Ni was demonstrated by the observation that guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate- and GTP-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity occurred in cell-free preparations from 1321N1 cells. The inhibitory activity of these guanine nucleotides was lost in membrane preparations from pertussis toxin-treated cells. The data suggest that adenylate cyclase is not involved in cholinergic action in 1321N1 cells and, furthermore, Ni is not involved in muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase in these cells. Thus, pertussis toxin can be used to differentiate between two mechanisms of cholinergic regulation of cAMP metabolism.

In neuroblastoma-glioma (NG108-15) hybrid cells, opiates inhibit adenylate cyclase and stimulate a low Km GTPase. It has been postulated that the stimulation of GTPase plays a role in opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Koski, G., and Klee, W. A. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 4185-4189). Treatment of NG108-15 cells with pertussis toxin attenuates receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The toxin acts by catalyzing the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000-dalton substrate believed to be a part of the receptor-adenylate cyclase complex. We have found that toxin treatment of NG108-15 results in inhibition of the opiate-stimulated GTPase. The concentration of toxin required for inhibition of this GTPase was similar to that needed for both attenuation of opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase and ADP ribosylation of the 41,000-dalton substrate. Inhibition of the opiate-induced GTPase by pertussis toxin in isolated membranes required NAD, consistent with the hypothesis that this effect of the toxin resulted from ADP ribosylation of a protein component of the system. Since the opiate-stimulated GTPase is believed to play a role in the receptor-mediated decrease in adenylate cyclase activity, inhibition of this GTPase may be an important part of the mechanism by which the toxin interferes with opiate action on adenylate cyclase.
