The nucleotide sequence encoding the human 78 kDa gastrin binding protein (GBP) has been deduced from overlapping fragments generated by the polymerase chain reaction with oligonucleotides based on the sequence of the porcine GBP (Mantamadiotis, T. et al. (1993) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1170, 211-215) and cDNA from the colonic carcinoma cell line LIM 1215 as template. The mature human GBP is 90% identical to the porcine GBP. Clones encoding the human GBP gene, which contains 19 exons, have been isolated from human genomic libraries. The positions of the exon/intron junctions are completely different from the junctions in the gene encoding the related peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme. Clones encoding a related pseudogene have also been isolated and sequenced.

1. A 78 kDa protein (p78) has been partially purified from washed membranes isolated from the corpus of porcine gastric mucosa. The purification was monitored by covalent cross-linking of iodinated [Nle15]-gastrin. 2. A single N-terminal sequence extending for 33 amino acids was obtained from the p78 preparation. Partial sequences totalling 192 amino acids were also obtained from 14 tryptic and 3 Staphylococcal V8 peptides. 3. 10 peptides plus the N-terminal sequence were derived from a previously unsequenced protein which was distantly related to the product of the E. coli fadB gene (Baldwin G. S. (1993) Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 104B, 55-61). The remaining 7 peptides were derived from the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase. 4. The gastrin-binding activity remained in association with p78, and could be separated from the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, during chromatography on tomato lectin-Sepharose. 5. We conclude that p78 binds gastrin, and is a novel member of the enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes.

cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are responsible for the subcellular sequestration of the type II A-kinase. Previously, we identified a 78 kDa AKAP which was enriched in gastric parietal cells. We have now purified the 78 kDa AKAP to homogeneity from gastric fundic mucosal supernates using type II A-kinase regulatory subunit (RII) affinity chromatography. The purified 78 kDa AKAP was recognized by monoclonal antibodies against ezrin, the canalicular actin-associated protein. Recombinant ezrin produced in either Sf9 cells or bacteria also bound RII. Recombinant radixin and moesin, ezrin-related proteins, also bound RII in blot overlay. Analysis of recombinant truncations of ezrin mapped the RII binding site to a region between amino acids 373 and 439. This region contained a 14-amino-acid amphipathic alpha-helical putative RII binding region. A synthetic peptide containing the amphipathic helical region (ezrin409-438) blocked RII binding to ezrin, but a peptide with a leucine to proline substitution at amino acid 421 failed to inhibit RII binding. In mouse fundic mucosa, RII immunoreactivity redistributed from a predominantly cytosolic location in resting parietal cells, to a canalicular pattern in mucosa from animals stimulated with gastrin. These results demonstrate that ezrin is a major AKAP in gastric parietal cells and may function to tether type II A-kinase to a region near the secretory canaliculus.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the proliferation of colorectal carcinoma cell lines in vitro and reduce the risk of colorectal carcinoma in vivo. The good correlation observed between the potency of NSAIDs as inhibitors of colorectal carcinoma cell proliferation and as antagonists of a 78 kDa gastrin binding protein (GBP) suggested that blockade of the GBP might contribute to the anti-proliferative effects of NSAIDs [G.S. Baldwin, V.J. Murphy, Z. Yang, T. Hashimoto, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 286 (1998) 1110-1114]. The most potent NSAID investigated was sulindac sulphide, which had an IC50 value of 40 microM. In order to investigate the structural requirements for binding to the GBP, 26 analogues of sulindac sulphide and sulindac sulphoxide were tested for their ability to inhibit the binding of iodinated gastrin to the GBP. Six of the analogues inhibited gastrin binding by more than 50% at a concentration of 1 mM. The IC50 values estimated by computer fitting of titration data were in the range of 280-940 microM. Comparison of the analogue structures suggests that a substituent with a carboxyl group is preferred in the R2 position. In addition the location of the NSAID binding site within the GBP structure was investigated. NSAIDs bound to both the N- and C-terminal halves of the GBP, and the affinities determined were similar to the values previously reported for the full-length GBP. The results reported herein represent the first step in the rational design of more potent GBP antagonists, some of which may be useful for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
