Intact neutrophils appear to exhibit interconverting formyl peptide receptor states. The first may be active in transduction and has a dissociation half-time of less than 10 sec. The second appears to be inactive and has a dissociation half-time of approximately 2 min. Neutrophil signals and responses are transient following "pulse" stimulation (when the stimulus is presented and then rapidly removed). The responses decay to baseline following a latency period comparable to the lifetime of the activated receptor. These results are consistent with the notion of transient interconverting receptor states and are discussed in terms of the biochemistry and amplification of the cell activation pathways. We examined the effect of guanine nucleotides on ligand-receptor dynamics at 37 degrees C in neutrophils permeabilized with digitonin, using continuous fluorometric measurements. The permeabilized cells exhibit a single class of slowly-dissociating receptor with a half-time similar to the inactive state. When guanine nucleotide is added, the receptors dissociate with a half-time similar to the first state. The effect of guanine nucleotide is inhibited by Ca++ concentrations above 10 microM. When receptors in permeabilized cells are ADP-ribosylated in the presence of pertussis toxin, the rapidly dissociating state is detected. These results suggest that the dynamics of ligand-receptor interaction under physiological conditions are controlled by a pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding protein. Guanine nucleotide regulates interconverting states of the formyl peptide receptor and mimics the dynamic states of the receptor observed in the intact cell during stimulation. A model which accounts for these data is described.

We have previously reported detergent (Triton X-100) solubilization of a follitropin (FSH) receptor-rich fraction from light membranes of bovine testis that responded to exogenous FSH by activation of adenylate cyclase (Dattatreyamurty, B., Schneyer, A., and Reichert, L. E., Jr. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 13104-13113). Upon gel filtration of the detergent-extract through Sepharose-6B, two fractions were separated. Each specifically bound [3H]guanosine 5'-imidotriphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and had guaninetriphosphatase (GTPase) activity. Of these, one fraction (6B-Fraction-1) also bound radioiodinated human follitropin (hFSH), indicating a coelution of the nucleotide-binding protein with receptor. The other fraction (6B-Fraction-2) did not contain detectable FSH receptor activity. Several lines of evidence suggest that 6B-Fraction-1 is a complex consisting of FSH receptor and a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, probably Ns. 1) The GTP-binding and FSH-binding activities of 6B-Fraction-1 were retained by a GTP-affinity column, and their retention by the affinity matrix could be prevented by simultaneous addition of free Gpp(NH)p. 2) When exogenous GTP was added to 6B-Fraction-1, binding of 125I-hFSH was reduced compared to controls lacking exogenous GTP. This effect of GTP was highly specific and noncompetitive, indicating that GTP did not bind to receptor. In addition, the affinity of receptor for FSH was decreased, and the rate and degree of dissociation of bound labeled FSH from receptor were increased in the presence of exogenous GTP, each in concentration-dependent manner. 3) Exposure of 6B-Fraction-1 to higher concentration of Triton X-100 reduced significantly the receptor-associated GTP-binding activity and also rendered the hormone-binding activity insensitive to GTP. 4) Treatment of highly purified testis membranes with cholera toxin plus NAD, but not pertussis toxin plus NAD, eliminated the ability of GTP to modulate the 125I-hFSH binding to receptor. 5) After cholera toxin-induced [32P]ADP-ribosylation of testis membranes, a major peak of radioactivity (presumably Ns) was coeluted with FSH receptor activity from the Sepharose-6B column. These results and the observation that the effect of GTP is noncompetitive at FSH receptor level suggest that FSH binding inhibition and the increased rate of hormone dissociation from receptor were the result of GTP interaction with a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, probably Ns, which itself was functionally associated with the FSH receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) was purified from cholate extracts of bovine brain membranes by sequential DEAE-Sephacel, Ultrogel AcA-34, heptylamine-Sepharose and Sephadex G-150 chromatography. Guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate (GTP[35S])-binding activity copurified with a 25,000 Da peptide and a 35,000-36,000 Da protein doublet. Neither pertussis toxin nor cholera toxin catalysed the ADP-ribosylation of a protein associated with the GTP[35S]-binding activity. Photoaffinity labelling of the purified protein with 8-azido[gamma-32P]GTP indicated that the GTP-binding site resides on the 25,000 Da protein. The 35,000-36,000 Da protein doublet was electrophoretically indistinguishable from the beta-subunits of other GTP-binding proteins, and the 36,000 Da protein was recognized by antiserum to oligomeric Gt. The purified protein specifically bound 17.2 nmol of GTP[35S]/mg of protein. The Kd of the binding site for radioligand was approx. 15 nM. The brain GTP-binding protein co-migrated during SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with a GTP-binding protein, named Gp, purified from human placenta [Evans, Brown, Fraser & Northup (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 7052-7059], and cross-reacted with antiserum raised against the placental protein, but not with antiserum raised to brain Go. SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the brain and placental GTP-binding proteins in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease yielded identical peptide maps.

Adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml) potentiated the lipolytic action of noradrenaline in adipocytes isolated from brown adipose tissue of 1- and 6-week-old rats by decreasing the EC50 (concn. giving 50% of maximal effect) for noradrenaline by 3-4-fold. With cells from neonatal rabbit tissue, adenosine deaminase only had a small, non-significant, effect on the EC50 for noradrenaline. Lipolysis in rat brown adipocytes was inhibited by low concentrations of N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA). Rabbit cells were far less sensitive to PIA. PIA, prostaglandin E1 and nicotinate all inhibited noradrenaline-stimulated respiration in rat brown adipocytes. Hypothyroidism diminished the maximum response of respiration and lipolysis to noradrenaline in rat cells and increased the EC50 for noradrenaline. Responsiveness of lipolysis to noradrenaline was particularly decreased in hypothyroidism and was partially restored by addition of adenosine deaminase. Lipolysis in cells from hypothyroid rats was more sensitive to the anti-lipolytic action of PIA. Bordetella pertussis toxin increased lipolysis in the presence of PIA, suggesting an involvement of the Ni guanine-nucleotide-binding protein in the control of brown-adipocyte metabolism.

Hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase is mediated by inhibitory receptors and a guanyl nucleotide-binding coupling protein, termed Gi. Similarly, transducin (T), a guanyl nucleotide-binding protein, mediates activation of cGMP phosphodiesterase by the retinal photon receptor, rhodopsin. Gi and T are both heterotrimers consisting of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits; Gi alpha and G beta are similar to T alpha and T beta, respectively. T alpha hydrolyzes GTP in the presence of photolyzed, but not dark, rhodopsin and T beta gamma. Gi alpha and G beta gamma substituted for T alpha and T beta gamma to yield active hybrid complexes, T alpha G beta gamma and Gi alpha T beta gamma. In the absence of T components, rhodopsin-dependent GTPase activity of Gi alpha G beta gamma was observed. Pertussis toxin ADP-ribosylates both T alpha and Gi alpha; ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha was negligible in the absence of G beta gamma. With G beta gamma, photolyzed, but not dark, rhodopsin unhibited ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha. In the presence of G beta gamma and photolyzed rhodopsin, GDP and GDP beta S, but not Gpp(NH)p and GTP gamma S, increased the ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha. The requirements for ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha by pertussis toxin were similar to those for ADP-ribosylation of T alpha. Rhodopsin appears to interact with Gi in a manner similar to the inhibitory hormone receptors; photolyzed rhodopsin, the active species, corresponds to the agonist-occupied receptor, while dark rhodopsin, the inactive species, can be equated to the free receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The D-2 dopamine receptor mediates inhibition of adenylate cyclase in rat intermediate lobe; this receptor is linked to cyclase by the inhibitory guanyl nucleotide-binding protein (Ni). The functioning of components in the inhibitory system was compared in control and pertussis toxin-treated tissues. (-)-N-n-Propylnorapomorphine ((-)-NPA), a dopamine agonist, and 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), a nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase in control tissue. Pertussis toxin abolished dopamine receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase but did not alter Gpp(NH)p-induced inhibition of cyclase. In control tissue, GTP blocked Gpp(NH)p inhibition of cyclase in the absence, but not in the presence of (-)-NPA. Following pertussis toxin treatment, GTP blocked the inhibitory effect of Gpp(NH)p either in the absence or in the presence of (-)-NPA. Pertussis toxin did not alter the number of dopamine receptors or the affinity of the receptor for [3H]spiroperidol, a dopamine antagonist. However, pertussis toxin decreased the potency of (-)-NPA in the binding assay and abolished the ability of GTP to affect agonist binding. Furthermore, pertussis toxin abolished the dopamine receptor-mediated inhibition of immunoreactive alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone release, and induced the ADP-ribosylation of the Mr = 41,000 subunit of Ni.

The effects of cytotoxic proteinaceous bacterial toxins on the adenylate cyclase cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) system of host cells are reviewed. Bacterial exotoxins affecting intracellular cAMP levels of host cells can be classified into two subgroups: (1) adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosyl-transferases and, (2) invasive adenylate cyclases. Among the ADP-ribosylating toxins are the enterotoxins of Vibrio cholerae, of Escherichia coli and one of the pertussis toxins termed "islet-activating protein". Toxins within this class share several structural and functional features. The three toxins consist of two functionally distinct parts: an A-component that is active enzymatically and a B-component that binds to surface receptors on cells or, if added in isolation blocks, the action of the complete toxin. The complete toxin shows little or no activity in broken cell preparations. When these toxins act on whole cells the contact is made initially through component B and then component A, but not B enters the cell and catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of nucleotide regulatory components within the adenylate cyclase complex. The activities of the A-subunits of cholera toxin and heat-labile coli enterotoxin are directed against the stimulatory nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase whereas islet-activating protein probably alters the inhibitory coupling protein of host-cells. Only recently two bacterial adenylate cyclases from Bacillus anthracis and Bordetella pertussis were described which are capable of invading mammalian cells. These invasive adenylate cyclases, like ADP-ribosylating toxins, require the presence of specific proteins for binding and are activated by calmodulin which is not present in bacteria.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Adenylate cyclase in NG108-15 (neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid) cells is responsive to both stimulatory and inhibitory ligands. Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT) catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000-Da peptide believed to be a subunit of the putative guanyl nucleotide-binding protein (Gi) involved in cyclase inhibition and abolishes inhibitory effects of opiate agonists. In studying the effects of PT on opiate receptors, we found that [3H]enkephalinamide binding was reduced by approximately 90% in membranes prepared from cells incubated with PT compared to control membranes. Agonist affinity, assessed by enkephalinamide competition for [3H]diprenorphine-binding sites, was markedly reduced in cells incubated with PT. Furthermore, inhibition by guanylylimidodiphosphate of ligand binding to opiate receptors was reduced following treatment with PT. The number of opiate receptors assessed by [3H]diprenorphine binding was unaltered by PT. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that PT-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation impairs the interaction of Gi with the inhibitory receptor-ligand complex, effectively uncoupling the inhibitory receptor from Gi and the cyclase catalytic unit.

NG108-15 cells contain both the inhibitory and stimulatory guanyl nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins of the cyclase system. Choleragen activates cyclase directly by ADP-ribosylating the stimulatory guanyl nucleotide-binding protein; prostaglandin E1 does not further increase activity of cells treated with maximally effective concentrations of choleragen. Including pertussis toxin during incubation with this concentration of choleragen, however, further augments both cyclase activity and cAMP accumulation by intact cells. These observations suggest that the inhibitory guanyl nucleotide-binding protein exerts basal inhibition on catalytic activity which cannot be overcome by maximally effective concentrations of choleragen, stimulatory hormones, or both.

Plasmids containing cDNAs encoding either the wild-type guanine-nucleotide-binding protein G(o)1 alpha or the palmitoylation-negative cysteine-3-to-serine (C3S) mutant of G(o)1 alpha were transfected into Rat 1 cells, and clones stably expressing immunoreactivity corresponding to these polypeptides were isolated. Clones C5B (expressing wild-type G(o)1 alpha) and D3 (expressing the mutant form) were selected for detailed study. Immunoprecipitation of whole cell lysates of each clone labelled with either [3H]palmitate or [3H]myristate demonstrated incorporation of [3H]myristate into both wild-type and the C3S mutant of G(o)1 alpha, but that incorporation of hydroxylamine-sensitive [3H]palmitate was restricted to the wild type. When membrane and cytoplasmic fractions were prepared from cells of either the C5B or D3 clones, although immunodetection of wild-type G(o)1 alpha was observed only in the membrane fraction, the C3S mutant was present in both membrane and cytoplasmic fractions. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the C3S G(o)1 alpha immunoreactivity was also detected in the cytoplasmic fraction if immunoprecipitation of recently synthesized G(o)1 alpha was performed from fractions derived from cells pulse-labelled with [35S]Trans label. Pretreatment of cells of both clones C5B and D3 with pertussis toxin led to complete ADP-ribosylation of the cellular population of G(o)1 alpha in both cell types, irrespective of whether the polypeptide was subsequently found in the membrane or cytoplasmic fraction following cellular disruption. By contrast, separation of membrane and cytoplasmic fractions before pertussis-toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation allowed modification only of the membrane-associated G(o)1 alpha (whether wild-type or the C3S mutant). This labelling was decreased substantially by incubation of the membranes with guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate. No cytoplasmic G-protein beta subunit was detected immunologically, and the non-membrane-associated C3S G(o)1 alpha from D3 cells migrated as an apparently monomeric 40 kDa protein on a Superose 12 gel-filtration column. Membrane-associated wild-type and C3S G(o)1 alpha appeared to interact with guanine nucleotides with similar affinity, as no alteration in the dose-response curves for guanine-nucleotide-induced maintenance of a stable 37 kDa tryptic fragment was noted for the two forms of G(o)1 alpha. Chemical depalmitoylation of membranes of clone C5B with neutral 1 M hydroxylamine caused a release of some 25-30% of each of G(o)1 alpha, Gi2 alpha and Gq alpha/G11 alpha from the membranes. Equivalent treatment of D3 cells caused an equivalent release of Gi2 alpha and Gq alpha/G11 alpha, but was unable to cause any appreciable release of the CS3 form of G(o)1 alpha, which was membrane-bound.
