Binding of formaldehyde-treated (f-alb), reduced-carboxymethylated (ac-alb) or reduced-acetamidated (am-alb) bovine serum albumins to purified rat renal plasma membranes was studied. Radioiodinated f-alb or ac-alb bound to kidney membranes while am-alb neither bound significantly nor competed with f-alb binding to kidney membranes. The binding was specific, saturable and heat- and proteinase-sensitive. Competition studies showed that f-alb and ac-alb sites may be the same on these membranes. To determine the role played by charge in binding, competition experiments with polyanions were performed. Polyanions such as nucleic acid or glycosaminoglycans were effective competitors of f-alb binding to cell membranes. Heparin was especially inhibitory, being several-fold more so than chondroitin sulphate. Completely reduced and carboxymethylated albumin was a better competitor than its partially modified counterpart. Furthermore, f-alb was a significant competitor of [35S]heparin binding to kidney membranes. Also, partially purified heparin receptor demonstrated specific binding of 125I-f-alb. These data suggest that a heparin receptor is responsible for binding and internalization of intravenously injected f-alb. A Scatchard plot revealed two classes of receptors with dissociation constants of 3.2 × 10(-6) M and 4.7 × 10(-5) M.

Novikoff Hepatoma

Site-specific binding of nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR) to plasma membranes of some animal cells results in the inhibition of the facilitated diffusion of nucleosides. The present study showed that nucleoside transport in Novikoff UA rat hepatoma cells is insensitive to site-saturating concentrations of NBMPR. Equilibrium binding experiments demonstrated the presence of high-affinity sites for NBMPR in a membrane-enriched fraction from these cells. In the presence of uridine or dipyridamole, specific binding of NBMPR at these sites was inhibited. When Novikoff UA membranes were covalently labelled with [3H]NBMPR by using photoaffinity techniques, specifically bound radioactivity was incorporated exclusively into a polypeptide(s) with an apparent Mr of 72,000-80,000, determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Covalent labelling of this polypeptide was abolished in the presence of excess nitrobenzylthioguanosine (NBTGR) and reduced in the presence of adenosine, uridine or dipyridamole. The apparent Mr of the NBMPR-binding polypeptide in Novikoff UA cells is significantly higher than that reported for corresponding polypeptides in other cell types (Mr 45,000-66,000). When membrane-enriched preparations from S49 mouse lymphoma cells were photolabelled and mixed with labelled NovikoffUA membrane-enriched preparations, gel electrophoresis resolved the NBMPR-binding polypeptides from the two preparations.

Autokinase Activity

The binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its receptor and the activity of the receptor intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase were studied during the ontogeny of rat liver. The number of EGF receptors during pre- and postnatal development was first compared in crude liver plasma membranes using 1) specific binding of 125I-labeled EGF and 2) immunoblot analysis using any antireceptor polyclonal rabbit antibody. Both methods detected the expression of the EGF receptor in fetal rat liver on day 17 of gestation, but in an amount markedly less than the adult. Within 24 h, there was a more than twofold increase in EGF binding to plasma membranes as well as a marked increase in receptor immunoreactivity. However, after birth, there was a precipitous drop in receptor number to less than 20% of the adult level by the end of the first postnatal day (P less than 0.001). Next, the presence of EGF-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity (autophosphorylation) was determined during the same stages of development. Electrophoresis of membranes phosphorylated in the presence or absence of EGF followed by autoradiography demonstrated autokinase activity stimulated by EGF in day 18 and 19 fetal liver plasma membranes, but not in membranes on day 17 of gestation. Similar to the pattern observed with EGF binding, there was a decrease in autokinase activity in early neonatal plasma membranes followed by an increase to near adult levels by 7 days postnatally. Quantitation of the amount of 32P radioactivity associated with the EGF receptor bands in each age group, correlated with the degree of autophosphorylation assessed by autoradiography.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have previously demonstrated the presence of specific binding sites for somatostatin on plasma membranes from pancreatic acinar cells. In the present study we attempted to characterize the fate of receptor-bound 125I-[Tyr11]somatostatin. Internalization of somatostatin was rapid (reaching a plateau at 20% of the cell-associated specific radioactivity) and temperature dependent. To follow the processing of bound somatostatin, acini were incubated with 125I-[Tyr11]somatostatin at 5 degrees C during 16 h then, after washing, incubated at 37 degrees C for 90 min in fresh medium. Surface-bound somatostatin decreased rapidly, whereas radioactivity increased in the cell interior and the incubation medium. Intracellular and membrane-bound radioactivity was mainly intact 125I-[Tyr11]somatostatin. Degradation occurred at the plasma membrane level and led to iodotyrosine production. After 15 min of incubation, 15% of the initially surface-bound 125I-[Tyr11]somatostatin was compartmentalized within the cell, mainly in the microsomal fraction. After 30 min, a significant increase in radioactivity appeared in the nuclear fraction. These results indicate that the major part of somatostatin cellular degradation takes place at the plasma membrane level. Within the cell, somatostatin is routed to the nucleus via particular fractions sedimenting with microsomal vesicles.

Significant Increment

In rabbit liver plasma membranes (LPM), specific binding of 125I-insulin rapidly increased in late gestation and peaked at birth, declining thereafter. In contrast, 125I-glucagon binding was lowest in late gestation, somewhat higher at birth, and increased by 48 h although only to 20-25% of adult. These changes in binding were due to changing numbers of receptors involving predominantly high affinity sites for insulin and low affinity sites for glucagon, with only minor changes in affinity. Despite measurable glucagon receptors by birth, fetal LPM produced no increment above basal in cAMP production with maximal doses of glucagon (10(-6) M), prostaglandin E1 (10(-4) M), or epinephrine (10(-4) M). Near birth only NaF (10 mM) produced a modest but significant increment in cAMP. By 2 h postbirth, all stimuli evoked significant increments in cAMP production that increased progressively but was still only 15-20% of adult at 48 h. Furthermore, although specific binding of cholera toxin was greater in fetal LPM (11 +/- 1 vs. 6 +/- 1%), cholera toxin-stimulated cAMP production increased by only 12-26% above basal in the fetus compared with 220% in adult. Markers of membrane purity including 5'-nucleotidase, phosphodiesterase, and insulin or glucagon degradation were not different in fetus and adult. We conclude that receptors and components of the adenylate cyclase complex mature independently; initial coupling occurs between the G/F regulatory protein and the catalytic unit (NaF but not hormonal activation) followed within hours of birth by coupling to the hormone receptor.

Abstract. Binding of IGF-I to plasma membranes from bovine mesenteric arteries was studied. The maximal specific binding of IGF-I was found to be 7.4 ± 1.7% of total 125I-IGF-I added to the incubation medium. Unlabelled IGF-I displaced 125I-IGF-I with an IC50 value of 0.5 nmol/l and a maximal displacement of 64.2 ± 2.8% of total binding. The potency of insulin to displace 125I-IGF-I was 100–1000-fold lower. Crosslinking of 125I-IGF-I to the receptor with disuccinimidyl suberate, followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions showed an IGF-I binding protein with a molecular weight of 146000 Dalton. In summary, we have shown the presence of receptors for IGF-I in plasma membranes isolated from macrovessels. The binding characteristics and the size of the binding unit were found to be similar to those of the IGF-1 receptor found in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, insulin at high concentrations was found to interact with the IGF-I receptor.
