In cultured intact LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells, a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue, ATP gamma S, inhibits AVP-stimulated cAMP formation. In LLC-PK1 membranes, several ATP analogues inhibit basal, GTP-, forskolin-, and AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent manner. The rank order potency of inhibition by ATP analogues suggests that a P2y type of ATP receptor is involved in this inhibition. The compound ATP gamma S inhibits agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in solubilized and in isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) and quinacrine pretreated membranes, suggesting that ATP gamma S inhibition occurs independent of AVP and A1 adenosine receptors and of phospholipase A2 activity. The ATP gamma S inhibition of AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity is not affected by pertussis toxin but is attenuated by GDP beta S, suggesting a possible role for a pertussis toxin insensitive G protein in the inhibition. Exposure of intact LLC-PK cells to ATP gamma S results in a significant increase in protein kinase C activity. However, neither of two protein kinase C inhibitors (staurosporine and H-7) prevents ATP gamma S inhibition of AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, suggesting that this inhibition occurs by a protein kinase C independent mechanism. These findings suggest the presence of functional P2y purinoceptors coupled to two signal transduction pathways in cultured renal epithelial cells. The effect of P2y purinoceptors to inhibit AVP-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity may be mediated, at least in part, by a pertussis toxin insensitive G protein.

As an approach to understanding the molecular basis of the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, we examined qualitative and quantitative changes in pertussis toxin substrates, Gi1 and G0, in the membrane of rat cerebral cortex after decapitation. Within 1 min after decapitation, the extent of pertussis toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP ribosylation of the G proteins in the cerebral cortex membrane was significantly decreased and the magnitude of the decrease became slightly larger upon further incubation of the decapitated brain. Addition of guanine nucleotides, GTP and GDP, or the purified beta gamma subunits of transducin to the membranes of control and ischemic cerebral cortex stimulated [32P]ADP ribosylation of the G proteins. The stimulation of [32P]ADP ribosylation in the control situation by guanine nucleotides was almost to the same extent as that in ischemia. However, the stimulation by transducin beta gamma subunits was different; the control stimulation was greater than that in ischemia. In immunoblots probed with antibodies against Gi1 alpha, G0 alpha, and T beta, the immunoreactivity of the corresponding proteins in ischemia was similar to that in control, suggesting that the amounts of G proteins were not changed in ischemia. These results suggest that ischemia accelerates the dissociation of alpha-GDP-beta gamma to alpha-GDP and free beta gamma and causes the denaturation of the dissociated alpha-GDP, thereby decreasing [32P]ADP ribosylation.

Muscarinic receptor properties in rat cortical and brain stem synaptoneurosomes and in heart myocytes were examined at resting potential and at depolarization. Depolarization induced the conversion of agonist-binding sites of the receptor from a high to a low affinity state, which could be reversed by a return to resting potential. No effect was observed on the affinity of the receptor for antagonists. Pertussis-toxin (PTX)-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of all substrates in both synaptoneurosomal and myocyte membranes, when conducted at resting potential, prevented depolarization-induced conversion of the receptor affinity in these preparations. The target substrates were identified by [32P]ADP-ribosylation of membranes prepared from brain stem synaptoneurosomes. Autoradiography revealed labeling of a 39-kDa protein band, which reacted mainly with antibodies to the alpha-subunit of Go-proteins. The possible involvement of G-proteins in depolarization-induced changes in the receptor activity was further investigated by examining the effect of membrane potential on the PTX-sensitive binding of di- and triphosphated guanine nucleotides to synaptoneurosomal membranes. Brain stem synaptoneurosomes were made permeable to guanine nucleotides ([3H]GTP, [3H]GDP, [3H]5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate) by treatment with ATP. After the synaptoneurosomes had been loaded with labeled GTP/GDP, resealed, and then subjected to either resting potential of short depolarization, binding of [3H]GDP to the membranes of depolarized synaptoneurosomes was 4.0 +/- 0.3 (n = 20) times higher than to the membranes of synaptoneurosomes at resting potential. Repolarization reversed this effect. Enhancement of [3H]GDP binding to the synaptoneurosomal membranes was induced also by muscarinic activation, although the increase obtained was only 30-40% (n = 5) relative to [3H]GDP binding at resting potential. Both the depolarization-induced and the muscarinically-induced enhancement of [3H]GDP binding were prevented following PTX-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of G-proteins in the synaptoneurosomal membrane. Our results suggest that the depolarization-induced enhancement in the binding of [3H]GTP/[3H]GDP may be attributable to activation of PTX-sensitive G-proteins, which mediate the depolarization-induced alteration of the affinity of the muscarinic receptor for agonists.

The mechanisms of stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC) by endothelin, specifically the role of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (GTP-binding proteins) in coupling the endothelin receptor to PLC, were investigated in rat mesangial cells. Endothelin-1 (ET) synergistically released inositol polyphosphates in the presence of the stimulatory GTP analogue guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) in permeabilized cells. In addition, in intact cells, pertussis toxin partially inhibited the stimulation of total inositol phosphates (IPn) by ET. Pertussis toxin also reduced the peak ET-stimulated intracellular free calcium level ([Ca2+]i) in these cells, both in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium. Pertussis toxin induced ADP ribosylation of a 41- to 43-kDa protein in mesangial cell membranes, and this effect was inhibited by prior exposure to ET and augmented by the inhibitory GDP analogue, guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S). Thus a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein is involved in the activation of PLC by ET in glomerular mesangial cells.

The effects of mastoparan and compound 48/80 on the activities of alpha beta gamma-trimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) were studied with purified Go and Gi-1 which had been reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Go or Gi-1 was inhibited by mastoparan or compound 48/80, suggesting that the G proteins were dissociated into their constituent alpha- and beta gamma-subunits in the presence of these compounds. The steady-state rate of GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by Go or Gi-1 was stimulated by the two compounds. Both the stimulations were due to increases in the rate of the GDP-GTP exchange reaction occurring on the G proteins. However, the modes stimulation of the GTPase activity depended on the type of G protein used, and the stimulations caused by the two compounds were differently affected by pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of G proteins. Moreover, the mastoparan-induced stimulation of the GTPase activity was partially inhibited by compound 48/80. Thus, the two histamine secretagogues mastoparan and compound 48/80 appear to activate G proteins differently, though they interact with the signal-transducing proteins, at least partly, at a common binding site.

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.

The beta gamma subunits of G-proteins are composed of closely related beta 35 and beta 36 subunits tightly associated with diverse 6-10 kDa gamma subunits. We have developed a reconstitution assay using rhodopsin-catalyzed guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) binding to resolved alpha subunit of the retinal G-protein transducin (Gt alpha) to quantitate the activity of beta gamma proteins. Rhodopsin facilitates the exchange of GTP gamma S for GDP bound to Gt alpha beta gamma with a 60-fold higher apparent affinity than for Gt alpha alone. At limiting rhodopsin, G-protein-derived beta gamma subunits catalytically enhance the rate of GTP gamma S binding to resolved Gt alpha. The isolated beta gamma subunit of retinal G-protein (beta 1, gamma 1 genes) facilitates rhodopsin-catalyzed GTP gamma S exchange on Gt alpha in a concentration-dependent manner (K0.5 = 254 +/- 21 nM). Purified human placental beta 35 gamma, composed of beta 2 gene product and gamma-placenta protein (Evans, T., Fawzi, A., Fraser, E.D., Brown, L.M., and Northup, J.K. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 176-181), substitutes for Gt beta gamma reconstitution of rhodopsin with Gt alpha. However, human placental beta 35 gamma facilitates rhodopsin-catalyzed GTP gamma S exchange on Gt alpha with a higher apparent affinity than Gt beta gamma (K0.5 = 76 +/- 54 nM). As an alternative assay for these interactions, we have examined pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the Gt alpha subunit which is markedly enhanced in rate by beta gamma subunits. Quantitative analyses of rates of pertussis modification reveal no differences in apparent affinity between Gt beta gamma and human placental beta 35 gamma (K0.5 values of 49 +/- 29 and 70 +/- 24 nM, respectively). Thus, the Gt alpha subunit alone does not distinguish among the beta gamma subunit forms. These results clearly show a high degree of functional homology among the beta 35 and beta 36 subunits of G-proteins for interaction with Gt alpha and rhodopsin, and establish a simple functional assay for the beta gamma subunits of G-proteins. Our data also suggest a specificity of recognition of beta gamma subunit forms which is dependent both on Gt alpha and rhodopsin. These results may indicate that the recently uncovered diversity in the expression of beta gamma subunit forms may complement the diversity of G alpha subunits in providing for specific receptor recognition of G-proteins.

We have characterized a soluble pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive GTP-binding protein (G-protein) present in mouse mastocytoma P-815 cells. 65% of total ADP-ribosylation of PT substrate having a molecular mass of 40 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in cell homogenate was detected in the supernatant after centrifugation at 100,000 x g for 90 min. [32P]ADP-ribosylation of cytosolic PT substrate was significantly enhanced on the addition of exogenous beta gamma complex. The molecular mass of the cytosolic PT substrate was estimated to be about 80 kDa on an Ultrogel AcA 44 column, but the beta gamma complex was not detected in the cytosol by using the anti-beta gamma complex antibody. Furthermore, the cytosolic PT substrate was found to have some unique properties: [35S]GTP gamma S binding was not inhibited by GDP and [32P]ADP-ribosylation was not affected by GTP gamma S treatment. Only after the cytosolic PT substrate had been mixed with exogenous beta gamma complex, did it copurify with exogenous beta gamma complex by several column chromatographies including an Octyl-Sepharose CL-4B column. The PT substrate was identified as Gi2 alpha by Western blot analysis and peptide mapping with S. aureus V8 protease. These results suggest that Gi2 alpha without beta gamma complex exists with an apparent molecular mass of about 80 kDa in the cytosolic fraction of P-815 cells.

Angiotensin II can inhibit hormone-stimulated adenylyl cyclase in intact hepatocytes or in hepatic membrane preparations. Because the response can be blocked by pertussis toxin, the object of the present study was to determine which of the known variants of Gi can couple angiotensin II receptors to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. The potential candidates were identified by probing RNA isolated from rat hepatocytes with cDNAs specific for the alpha subunits of known toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins). Hepatocytes contained no detectable RNA for the Go or Gi1 alpha subunits and similar levels of RNA coding for the Gi2 and Gi3 alpha subunits. To determine whether Gi3 could couple angiotensin receptors to inhibition of cyclase, membranes were prepared from hepatocytes whose G proteins were fully ADP-ribosylated with pertussis toxin, and the Gi3 holoprotein purified from rabbit liver was reconstituted into the membranes. The nature of the Gi3 reconstituted into the membrane was assessed by immunoblotting with antibodies specific for the Gi alpha subunits. Reconstitution of 6-10 pmol of Gi3/mg of membrane protein into the toxin-treated membranes restored the ability of 10 nM angiotensin II to inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Because pertussis toxin has nonspecific effects, an assay was developed to measure the interaction of the angiotensin receptor with reconstituted G proteins in normal membranes. In the presence of Mg2+, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) caused a reduction of the affinity of the angiotensin II receptor for 125I-angiotensin II that was stable to washing and the detergents used to reconstitute G proteins into the membranes. Using this protocol to activate G proteins and "uncouple" receptors, the ability of the GDP-liganded form of Gi to restore high affinity binding was examined. Reconstitution of about 10-15 pmol of oligomeric Gi3/mg of membrane protein restored both the high affinity state of the angiotensin II receptor and the ability of GTP gamma S to shift the affinity to a lower state. The same shift in receptor affinity could be accomplished by reconstituting the Gi3 alpha subunit, resolved free of beta gamma subunits, into the membranes. Reconstitution of up to 50 pmol of Gs/mg of membrane protein had no effect on angiotensin II receptor affinity. The results suggest that a major form of Gi in hepatocytes is Gi3 and that it can couple angiotensin receptors to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase.

The possible involvement of a stimulatory guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding (G) protein in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis has been investigated in permeabilized NIH-3T3 cells expressing the human EGF receptor. The mitogenic phospholipid lysophosphatidate (LPA), a potent inducer of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, was used as a control stimulus. In intact cells, pertussis toxin partially inhibits the LPA-induced formation of inositol phosphates, but has no effect on the response to EGF. In cells permeabilized with streptolysin-O, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) dramatically increases the initial rate of inositol phosphate formation induced by LPA. In contrast, activation of phospholipase C (PLC) by EGF occurs in a GTP-independent manner. Guanine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) which keeps G proteins in their inactive state, blocks the stimulation by LPA and GTP gamma S, but fails to affect the EGF-induced response. Tyrosine-containing substrate peptides, when added to permeabilized cells, inhibit EGF-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis without interfering with the response to LPA and GTP gamma S. These data suggest that the EGF receptor does not utilize an intermediary G protein to activate PLC and that receptor-mediated activation of effector systems can be inhibited by exogenous substrate peptides.
