The components of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) receptor for leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were examined by Sephacryl S-300 exclusion chromatography of PMNL membrane proteins, which were solubilized before and after the binding of [3H] LTB4. When the PMNL membranes were solubilized in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and filtered on Sephacryl S-300 prior to addition of [3H] LTB4, the binding activity was associated with a 65 kD protein. In contrast, the radioactivity of [3H] LTB4 bound to PMNL membranes prior to solubilization was recovered predominantly with a 140 kD protein. When PMNL membranes had been pretreated with pertussis toxin, but not cholera toxin, before the addition of LTB4 and subsequent solubilization, radioactivity was recovered predominantly with the 65 kD protein. The addition of guanylylimidodiphosphate (GMP-PNP), a nonhydrolyzable derivative of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), to PMNL membrane receptors bearing [3H] LTB4 either prior to or after CHAPS solubilization reduced the yield of the 140 kD presumed LTB4 receptor protein-G protein complex. That the maximum specific binding of [35S] guanosine-5'-0-3-thiotriphosphate (GTP-gammaS) to LTB4-binding proteins in the Sephacryl S-300 effluent corresponded to the 140 kD protein supported the presence of a G protein in the LTB4 receptor complex.

The mechanism of G protein beta gamma subunit (G beta gamma)-induced activation of the muscarinic K+ channel (KACh) in the guinea pig atrial cell membrane was examined using the inside-out patch clamp technique. G beta gamma and GTP-gamma S-bound alpha subunits (G alpha *'s) of pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive G proteins were purified from bovine brain. Either in the presence or absence of Mg2+, G beta gamma activated the KACh channel in a concentration-dependent fashion. 10 nM G beta gamma almost fully activated the channel in 132 of 134 patches (98.5%). The G beta gamma-induced maximal channel activity was equivalent to or sometimes larger than the GTP-gamma S-induced one. Half-maximal activation occurred at approximately 6 nM G beta gamma. Detergent (CHAPS) and boiled G beta gamma preparation could not activate the KACh channel. G beta gamma suspended by Lubrol PX instead of CHAPS also activated the channel. Even when G beta gamma was pretreated in Mg(2+)-free EDTA internal solution containing GDP analogues (24-48 h) to inactivate possibly contaminating G i alpha *'s, the G beta gamma activated the channel. Furthermore, G beta gamma preincubated with excessive GDP-bound G o alpha did not activate the channel. These results indicate that G beta gamma itself, but neither the detergent CHAPS nor contaminating G i alpha *, activates the KACh channel. Three different kinds of G i alpha * at 10 pM-10 nM could weakly activate the KACh channel. However, they were effective only in 40 of 124 patches (32.2%) and their maximal channel activation was approximately 20% of that induced by GTP-gamma S or G beta gamma. Thus, G i alpha * activation of the KACh channel may not be significant. On the other hand, G i alpha *'s effectively activated the ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) in the ventricular cell membrane when the KATP channel was maintained phosphorylated by the internal solution containing 100 microM Mg.ATP. G beta gamma inhibited adenosine or mACh receptor-mediated, intracellular GTP-induced activation of the KATP channel. G i alpha *'s also activated the phosphorylated KATP channel in the atrial cell membrane, but did not affect the background KACh channel. G beta gamma subsequently applied to the same patch caused prominent KACh channel activation. The above results may indicate two distinct regulatory systems of cardiac K+ channels by PT-sensitive G proteins: G i alpha activation of the KATP channel and G beta gamma activation of the KACh channel.

The cholinergic agonist carbachol produces a concentration-dependent (half-maximum inhibitory concentration = 0.9 microM) decrease in the Na(+)-K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of rabbit cardiac sarcolemma that occurred only in the presence of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (0.1 microM GTP gamma S) and reached 40% inhibition. The inhibition is blocked by the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (10 microM) and is abolished in sarcolemma treated with pertussis toxin (20 micrograms/ml) in the presence of 100 microM NAD. GTP gamma S alone reduces Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by 45% (half-maximum inhibitory = 1 microM). The apparent affinity of the enzyme for GTP gamma S is increased approximately 10-fold in the presence of 1 microM carbachol. In sarcolemma solubilized with the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS, 10 mM), the GTP gamma S-dependent inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is also observed. Gel filtration of a CHAPS extract of sarcolemma on a Sepharose CL-6B column resulted in a separation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi activities. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity that was separated on the column lost its sensitivity to the inhibitory action of guanine nucleotides. Inhibitory effects (20-30%) of guanosine 5'-triphosphate analogues [Gpp(NH)p, GTP gamma S, or Gpp(CH2)p] at micromolar concentrations were restored when the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was recombined with fractions that contained the pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi protein(s). Similar concentrations of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, guanosine 5'-diphosphate, guanosine-5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate, or App(NH)p were unable to induce the Gi protein-mediated attenuation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the reconstitution system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previous investigations (El Mestikawy et al., J Neurochem 51: 1031-1040, 1988) have shown that 5-HT1A binding sites (R[5-HT1A]) solubilized by CHAPS from rat hippocampal membranes can be modulated by guanine nucleotides, as expected from their solubilization together with associated G regulatory proteins (G). Studies of the hydrodynamic properties of solubilized R[5-HT1A] have been presently carried out in order to assess in a more direct way the presence of R[5-HT1A]-G complexes in the soluble extract. Under control conditions, the sedimentation of a CHAPS extract from hippocampal membranes through a 5-30% sucrose gradient (200,000 g, 17 hr, 4 degrees) gave two maxima of [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding activity corresponding to sedimentation coefficients of 8.0 S and 10.0 S, respectively. Running the gradient in the presence of 1 microM GTP revealed a significant reduction of the 10.0 S peak, as expected from the loss of material (probably a G protein) normally associated with R[5-HT1A]. Conversely, attempts to prevent the dissociation of R[5-HT1A]-G by treatment of CHAPS soluble hippocampal extracts with the cross-linking reagent disuccinimidyl suberate (0.1 mM) resulted in a significant increase (+70%) in [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding activity associated with the appearance of a new sedimenting material with a higher coefficient (16.5 S). Furthermore, [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding became almost completely insensitive to guanine nucleotides as expected from the irreversible coupling by disuccinimidyl suberate of R[5-HT1A] with G protein(s). WGA-agarose chromatography of CHAPS soluble hippocampal extract supplemented with GTP allowed the physical separation of R[5-HT1A] from the bulk of G proteins, and a concomitant decrease of [3H]8-OH-DPAT high affinity binding capacity. Partial recovery of the latter could be achieved by reconstituting R[5-HT1A]-G complexes upon the addition of a mixture of pure bovine Gi + Go to G-deprived soluble extracts. Finally in vivo treatment with Pertussis toxin (5 micrograms intracerebroventricularly, 48 hr before killing) resulted in a significant reduction of the specific binding of [3H]8-OH-DPAT (-36%) to hippocampal membranes and corresponding CHAPS soluble extracts, and a marked decrease in the inhibitory effect of GppNHp. Accordingly the G protein associated with R[5-HT1A] belongs probably to the Gi or Go families.

Mg2+ increased but Na+ and GTP decrease [3H]substance P (SP) binding to rat cerebral cortical membranes and to 10 mM 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilized membrane fraction. To determine the binding parameters that are modified by the cations and GTP, inhibition experiments of [3H]SP binding by unlabeled SP were performed in both of the preparations. Nonlinear least-squares regression analysis of data in the membrane fraction indicated that optimal fitting of the inhibition curves in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2 was attained with a two-site model, corresponding to a "high-affinity (H)" and a "low-affinity (L)" state. By omitting MgCl2, or by addition of NaCl and GTP, the [3H]SP specific binding was decreased, the H state disappeared, and the L state and a new "super-low affinity (SL)" state observed. The SP/[3H]SP inhibition curves in the cerebral cortical membranes by in vivo treatment with pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein) were similar to that in the presence of GTP in control membranes. The effects of MgCl2, NaCl, and GTP were greater in the CHAPS-solubilized fraction than in the membrane fraction. In contrast to the membrane fraction, the inhibition curves of [3H]SP binding by unlabeled SP in the presence of MgCl2 in the CHAPS-solubilized fraction were best fitted to a one-site model. The KD value was relatively close to that of the low-affinity state in the membrane fraction. Even with the addition of NaCl or GTP, or by reducing MgCl2 concentration to 1 mM, although the inhibition curves consistently fit the one-site model, the KD values changed only slightly.

A mu-opioid receptor-GTP binding protein (mu-opioid receptor-G-protein) complex from the 7315c cell was solubilized with CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate) and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Pretreatment of the tissue with either [3H]etorphine or morphine greatly improved recovery of the receptor and maintained it in a GTP-sensitive state. GTP sensitivity was consistent with the hypothesis that a receptor-G-protein complex had been obtained. Other evidence consistent with this hypothesis was that recovery of the solubilized, prelabelled receptor was decreased by approximately 70% by pretreatment of 7315c cells with pertussis toxin. The reconstituted receptor was mu-selective: DAGO (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Met-Phe- NH(CH2)2OH), but not ICI 174864 or U50488-H, displaced [3H]etorphine binding with high affinity. The affinity of the reconstituted receptor for [3H]etorphine (1.25 +/- 0.20 nM) was similar to that observed for the membrane-associated receptor (0.53 +/- 0.25 nM). GTP gamma S decreased this affinity 3-fold without changing the number of binding sites. The potencies of GTP gamma S and GTP in diminishing [3H]etorphine binding were similar in the membrane and vesicle preparations, but were 10-fold lower than the potencies observed in diminishing binding to the solubilized receptor. The ability to reconstitute a functional mu-opioid receptor-G-protein complex will facilitate further study of the structure and function of the receptor and the specific identification of the associated GTP-binding protein(s).

The combination of ATP, CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate), and DTT (dithiothreitol) is known to promote the expression of the NAD glycohydrolase activity of pertussis toxin, which resides in the toxin's S1 subunit. By monitoring changes in electrophoretic mobility, we have found that ATP and CHAPS act by promoting the reduction of the disulfide bond of the S1 subunit. In addition, ATP, CHAPS, and DTT allowed sulfhydryl-alkylating reagents to inactivate the NAD glycohydrolase activity. In the presence of iodo[14C]acetate, the combination of ATP, CHAPS, and DTT increased 14C incorporation into only the S1 subunit of the toxin, indicating that alkylation of this subunit was responsible for the loss of activity. If iodoacetate is used as the alkylating reagent, alkylation can be monitored by an acidic shift in the isoelectric point of the S1 peptide. Including NAD in alkylation reactions promoted the accumulation of a form of the S1 peptide with an isoelectric point intermediate between that of native S1 and that of S1 alkylated in the absence of NAD. This result suggests that NAD interacts with one of the two cysteines of the S1 subunit. In addition, we found the pH optimum for the NAD glycohydrolase activity of pertussis toxin is 8, which may reflect the participation of a cysteine in the catalytic mechanism of the toxin.

Pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the guanyl nucleotide binding protein transducin was stimulated by adenine nucleotide and either phospholipids or detergents. To determine the sites of action of these agents, their effects were examined on the transducin-independent NAD glycohydrolase activity. Toxin-catalyzed NAD hydrolysis was increased synergistically by ATP and detergents or phospholipids; the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) was more effective than the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 greater than lysophosphatidylcholine greater than phosphatidylcholine. The A0.5 for ATP in the presence of CHAPS was 2.6 microM; significantly higher concentrations of ATP were required for maximal activation in the presence of cholate or lysophosphatidylcholine. In CHAPS, NAD hydrolysis was enhanced by ATP greater than ADP greater than AMP greater than adenosine; ATP was more effective than MgATP or the nonhydrolyzable analogue adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate. GTP and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate were less active than the corresponding adenine nucleotides. Activity in the presence of CHAPS and ATP was almost completely dependent on dithiothreitol; the A0.5 for dithiothreitol was significantly decreased by CHAPS alone and, to a greater extent, by CHAPS and ATP. To determine the site of action of ATP, CHAPS, and dithiothreitol, the enzymatic (S1) and binding components (B oligomer) were resolved by chromatography. The purified S1 subunit catalyzed the dithiothreitol-dependent hydrolysis of NAD; activity was enhanced by CHAPS but not ATP. The studies are consistent with the conclusion that adenine nucleotides, dithiothreitol, and CHAPS act on the toxin itself rather than on the substrate; adenine nucleotides appear to be involved in the activation of toxin but not the isolated catalytic unit.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was found to bind specifically, reversibly, and in a protein-dependent manner to a single class of high affinity (KD approximately equal to 20 nM) binding sites in membranes prepared from canine renal outer medulla. PGE2 binding activity was solubilized from these membranes in a stable form (t1/2 greater than 14 days) in the absence of ligand in 75% yields using digitonin. The characteristics of PGE2 binding to membranes and solubilized protein were similar with respect to pH dependence, KD for PGE2, and order of potency of prostaglandins (PGE2 approximately PGE1 greater than PGF2 alpha greater than PGD2) in inhibiting the binding of [3H]PGE2. Importantly, the extents of binding of PGE2 to membranes and to a solubilized preparation partially purified by chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin-Affi-Gel 10 were both increased about 2-fold by GDP and GTP and its analogs. Treatment of the digitonin-solubilized PGE2 binding activity with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS) rendered the binding activity insensitive to stimulation by GTP and decreased the apparent molecular weight of the peak of PGE2 binding activity from about 175,000 to about 65,000. These results suggest that the PGE2 binding activity resides in a protein which is tightly associated with, but distinct from, a guanine nucleotide regulatory (N) protein. PGE2 (greater than or equal to 10 nM) was found to stimulate GTPase activity of renal outer medullary membranes, and this stimulation was eliminated by pretreatment of membranes with pertussis toxin and NAD, but not cholera toxin and NAD. Treatment of both particulate and solubilized preparations of PGE2 binding activity with pertussis toxin plus NAD also eliminated the ability of GTP to stimulate PGE2 binding. This evidence indicates that it is the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, with which the PGE2 binding activity is associated. Thus, this PGE2 binding activity is an inhibitory PGE2 receptor, quite possibly one that mediates inhibition of vasopressin-induced cAMP formation in the medullary thick ascending limb and/or collecting tubule of the kidney.

Cyclic AMP accumulation in rat parotid slices is only transiently stimulated by isoproterenol (Harper, J.F. and Brooker, G. Molec. Pharmacol. 13:1048-1059, 1977); the progressive loss of isoproterenol effect is termed desensitization. In this report we show that desensitized cyclic AMP accumulation is associated with desensitization of adenylate cyclase in subsequently prepared membranes and in adenylate cyclase that has been detergent-solubilized from desensitized membranes. Adenylate cyclase in membranes made from isoproterenol-desensitized tissue is desensitized to both the stimulating effects of isoproterenol with 6 mM MgCl2 and of forskolin with 30 mM MnCl2. We have previously determined (Harper, J.F. J. Cyclic Nucleo. Prot. Phosphoryl. Res. 9:401-414, 1984) that cyclic AMP accumulation desensitized to isoproterenol is rapidly counteracted by 1 microM forskolin but not 0.1 microM forskolin. Similarly, if 1 microM forskolin was included in the desensitizing incubation with isoproterenol then adenylate cyclase subsequently prepared was not desensitized. Development of desensitized adenylate cyclase was only partially affected by 0.1 microM forskolin. Desensitization is counteracted by forskolin only on intact cells. Once tissue is homogenized, desensitized adenylate cyclase does not respond as well to forskolin as does control adenylate cyclase. The site of desensitization appears to be at or near the adenylate cyclase catalytic unit. Desensitization of adenylate cyclase catalytic activity remains demonstrable after membranes are solubilized with CHAPS. The adenylate cyclase activity remaining in the supernatant following solubilization of desensitized membranes is depressed to nearly the same extent as found in the membranes. Further, desensitized adenylate cyclase in membrane preparations and after solubilization is desensitized to stimulatory effects of forskolin with 30 mM MnCl2, a condition under which forskolin is probably acting directly on the adenylate cyclase catalytic unit. Desensitization appears not to be dependent on activity of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (Gi), since pertussis toxin is without effect on desensitization of cyclic AMP accumulation to isoproterenol.
