Dissociation of guanosine 5'-[γ-thio]triphosphate from guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins in native cardiac membranes : regulation by nucleotides and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
Binding of the poorly hydrolyzable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to purified guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) has been shown to be nonreversible in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Mg2+. In porcine atrial membranes, binding of...

Zusammenfassung: | Binding of the poorly hydrolyzable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to purified guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) has been shown to be nonreversible in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Mg2+. In porcine atrial membranes, binding of [35S]GTP[S] to G proteins was stable in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. However, either large dilution or, even more strongly, addition of unlabelled guanine nucleotides, in the potency order, GTP[S] greater than GTP greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino]triphosphate greater than GDP greater than or equal to guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate greater than GMP, markedly enhanced the observed dissociation, with 20-30% of bound [35S]GTP[S] being released by unlabelled guanine nucleotide within 20 min at 25 degrees C. Most interestingly, dissociation of [35S]GTP[S] was rapidly and markedly stimulated by agonist (carbachol) activation of cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Carbachol-stimulated release of [35S]GTP[S] was strictly dependent on the presence of Mg2+ and an unlabelled guanine nucleotide. Although having different potency and efficiency in releasing [35S]GTP[S] from the membranes by themselves, the guanine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates studied, at maximally effective concentrations, promoted the carbachol-induced dissociation to the same extent, while GMP and ATP were ineffective. GTP[S]-binding-saturation experiments indicated that one agonist-activated muscarinic acetylcholine receptor can cause release of bound GTP[S] from three to four G proteins. The data presented indicate that binding of GTP[S] to G proteins in intact membranes, in contrast to purified G proteins, is reversible, and that agonist-activated receptors can even, either directly or indirectly, interact with GTP[S]-bound G proteins, resulting in release of bound guanine nucleoside triphosphate. |
